_ Hermione _
I woke up slowly, feeling sore and my body hurt as it did after a good run. I tried to sit down, but I was pressed against two hard bodies so it would be difficult to move. I heard Severus's heart and Aro's breathing, and I enjoyed the contrast between the warm coming from the left and the cold body resting on my right. When I tried to move a little, they pulled me between them, smiling at me.
"Good morning, love," Sev said and I kissed him softly.
"Morning, love," I said, and I turned to see Aro.
"How are you feeling today?" Aro asked.
"A little sore and tired."
"You need to take this potion; it will help you with the soreness and the bruising," Sev said.
"I'm a little too strong for you now. I will be more careful next time," Aro said looking down, and I kissed him.
"It is ok, we will manage it better next time," I said sitting up. "Good, let's get ready so we can eat."
"Everything is ready at the sitting room," Aro said. "Jane took care of that."
"I hope we will be friends," I said, and he nodded.
"Come. After breakfast, Dora will help us prepare for the ceremony," Aro said. "Marcus is explaining everything to the Headmaster, and Caius is finishing with the preparations."
"When do we need to move to Italy?" Severus asked.
"We can stay here until the end of the year. After that, I need to be at Volterra," Aro said, and we nodded.
"So, we have one month after the wedding. Good, we need to start packing, and I want to take some things from England to Italy. When are we supposed to change?"
"We will see, but if you could do this during the next year, it could be a clever idea," Aro said.
"What do you think about giving us half a year?" Severus asked. "This will give us time to get to know the place and to prepare for this."
"Make that four months and you have a deal," Aro said and we nodded.
"Good, is nice to see that we can talk," Severus said kissing my head and pulling me to the bathroom.
I closed my eyes, enjoying the sweet fragrance in the room when I felt cold hands opening my bathrobe and helping me to the tub. I sat down and Aro pulled me to his lap and I sat there with my back pressing against his chest. Severus kneeled between my legs and kissed me softly as Aro was lapping my neck. Severus was suckling gently on the left side of my neck as Aro was nibbling the right side. I was melting in their hands when I heard them growling and biting me hard, marking me as their mate. I came so hard that I passed out.
"Love? Are you ok?" Severus asked.
"Hermione, please answer to us," Aro asked and I moaned.
"Stupid vampire, did you start her change?" Severus asked angrily.
"No, I did not put any venom on the bite." Aro said, "I don't understand."
"Easy to say, but our mate is no reacting to us," Severus growled.
"We need to try something," Aro said and I was trying to open my eyes and giggling at the same time. "Love?"
"I'm ok, I just passed out," I said softly, and they chuckled. "Assholes."
"Sorry, this never happened to me before," Severus said grinning proudly, and Aro slapped his shoulder.
"Arse, we need to take care of her," Aro said helping me to stand up and lead me to our room where he dressed me. "Good now, we need to meet Dora and we will be busy."
"Where is she?" I asked.
"She is on the ROR, preparing the details for the party and she had the cloaks and your dress ready," Aro said, and we walked to meet the Queen.
The queen, Dora, was giving orders to the elves who followed her as she was a goddess. She showed us different cabins, and I found a beautiful silver dress with green sparkles. Dora came to see me and told me that she would take care of my hair. Jane would do my makeup.
After some minutes, we went to the Great Hall. I was sitting between my mates who took their time feeding me, and everybody gasped looking at the mean potion master kissing me softly. The snakes were glaring at me and I could see that Pansy was looking at me with hatred in her eyes. Aro growled and flashed to her side taking her hand and growling.
"Headmaster, you have here a very nasty girl who was planning to attack our mate. She already hexed some girls when they were daring to date some of the snakes," Aro said dragging Pansy to the head table.
"Miss Parkinson, something to tell?" Albus Dumbledore asked.
"No, Sir," Pansy said.
"She hexed me because Blaise asked me to Hogsmeade this weekend," Daphna said.
"She hexed me when Greg asked me to a date two weeks ago and told me to refuse him." A blond girl said. After that, several girls and boys stood up and told about her menaces, and Dumbledore took her to his office.
"Good, can we finish our meal in peace?" Severus said, and everybody nodded. "Are you planning to see your friends this evening?"
"Yes, they asked me to meet them before the wedding. I will be sleeping with them at the ROR,"
"Just be careful," Aro said.
"And send us a Patronus if you need us," Severus said, and I left to table meeting Harry, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Draco, and Blaise.
