Chapter 32
They both approached the table and took their wands out. Both of them tapped the bonding certificates with their wands twice and their signatures appeared. Luna, Ginny, Harry, Parvati, Lucius, Narcissa, Professor McGonagall, Arthur Weasley and Tiberius Ogden did the same and their signatures appeared at the foot of the twelve certificates. Each witness took their own copy of the wedding certificate along with Severus and Hermione. Tiberius took the last two remaining and tapped them with his wand.
The first certificate appeared on his desk at the Ministry and the second one joined every single bounding certificate that existed since Merlin.
The double French door at the back of the room opened and Hermione and Severus walked towards them exiting to the cocktail place. Already, their waiter had proposed to the both of them a drink. Champagne for Severus and sparkling pumpkin juice for Hermione.
The double French door opened to the back garden. High tables surrounded by bar stools had been placed here and there between two tents where a large buffet had been dressed. It was full of appetizers of all sorts, all looking more appetizing than the one before. Waiters and waitress were standing all around the garden carrying large silver trays filled with Champagne flutes, wine and Pumpkin Juice.
They all wore a simple black dress robe true to the wizarding tradition and which reached the ground. Their necks were bearing either red and gold Gryffindor ties or green and silver Slytherin ones. She turned to Severus with a large smile on her face and the both of them descended the few steps. Severus placing his hand onto the small of Hermione's back while he held her other hand to make sure she would not trip in her long train.
A few minutes later, the guests were pouring of the grand ball room and into the garden, congratulating the newly weds and giving them their gifts. The house elves had offered the couple to come and collect the gifts as the guest handed them over and take them to someplace else to be stored until they had the time to open them.
"Hermione, Severus, I am so very sorry for my son's behaviour. I didn't raise him to become such a man and I can assure you that he won't come and bother you again. We wanted to apologise once again for his behaviour. Oh, what shame he put on our family. Anyways, we just wanted to tell you how happy we are to be here and that you would of course be invited for Christmas this year." Molly said handing them a large silver and gold box.
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley, it means a great deal to Hermione and I that you were both of you able to attend the wedding." Severus said smiling broadly at the older couple.
"Oh, come now Severus, it's Molly now" Mrs. Weasley stated swishing her hand in the air as though there was a fly in front of her.
"Well thank you Molly for everything" Severus said before the older couple walked away and towards the buffet.
Two hours later, they had finished greeting their guests and were going from table to table chatting with their guests. Always followed at a short distance by Ginny and Luna who made sure Hermione was perfect for eventual on the moment photos. A few moments later, Severus took Hermione's hand in his own and pulled her closer to him.
"Come now, my love. I would like to show you something before we go for the traditional photoshoot." He went behind her and placed his hand on her eyes "No peeking love"
Severus walked them for a minute or so and pulled his hands away from her eyes. Hermione gasped as she looked around her before turning around and looking at Severus with eyes filled with so many emotions at the same time Severus could only describe as happiness.
They were standing in a beautiful rosery. It was a large, spacious place with five benches around it and a small table surrounded by five chairs. The flowers were even threaded over their heads dimming the rosery and needing the help of five huge lanterns hoovering above the ground magically.
"Severus how did you manage to do this?" Hermione asked walking around the rosery.
"Pomona, she wanted to gift us with a haven of peace just for the two of us and I know you love flowers, so she made this rosery. It was glamoured so you would not see it grow until now. I hope you like it" Severus said to Hermione still standing still and letting her explore the rosery on her own and at her rhythm.
"Like it, I love it my love. How did I get to be with someone so thoughtful?" She said going to Severus side before nestling in his arms. Her baby bump had grown and it was now impossible for her to hug him face to face so Hermione nestled side ways and took in Severus' smell.
They stayed like that for a few moments before Severus pulled away a tiny bit.
"We have to get back to our guests love. I can't wait for this all ordeal to be through with." Severus said placing a kiss on top of Hermione's head before taking her hand and leading her back towards the party.
When they rejoined their guests, they began the traditional photo shots. From time to time, their personal water would come and propose Hermione and Severus refreshments or a little food. When they were through with the 800 guests the sun was beginning to set and the guests who were not invited to the reception left bedding their goodbyes to the couple before going towards the Apparition point or the carriages waiting at the entry of the manor.
"Mrs. Snape, Severus, I think it is time for everyone to go to the reception area" Candice whispered to them as discretely as possible
"Come Hermione, we'll help you take your veil of and freshen yourself a bit. You must be exhausted." Ginny said to Hermione.
"I'll join you at the entry of the mineral bosquet in thirty minutes love. Alright?" Hermione said to Severus.
He took her in his arms and placed a small but passion filled kiss on her lips before Ginny and Luna took Hermione by the arms and took her away to help her prepare herself for the reception. As soon as they arrived inside the walk-in closet, Hermione sat down in one of the chairs. She hadn't realized how tired she was until now.
"Hermione, you're, all right?" Ginny asked concerned at the sight of her pale figure.
"Come on let's get you more comfortable and get something into you. You look like you are going to faint" Ginny said going behind Hermione and pulling her veil away slowly in order not to disturb her bun.
Once the veil had been removed, Hermione felt already better. The veil had been quite an ordeal to deal with and was very glad when the torturous object had been removed from her head. She also decided to change her hair style a little and with a flick of her wands every pin holding the bun together neatly were out of her hair that was now flowing freely on her shoulders and back. The emerald and Onyx tiara had stayed well in place and Hermione decided to keep it in order to keep her hair away from her face.
She took a quick break to go to the loo before going down the staircase and into the grand foyer where a path led towards the mineral bosquet where the guests and Severus were. The three young women chatted on the way and when Hermione arrived at the entrance of the bosquet where Severus was.
"See you later girls, thanks a lot for everything" Hermione hugged them a last time before she let them go inside the bosquet and join the other guests.
"Are the both of you ready?" Sofia asked her head popping from the entrance.
"Ready if you are wife." Severus said placing his hand on the small of her back
"I could not be any readier than right now" Hermione replied smiling to Sofia.
"Ladies and gentleman, please stand for Mr. and Mrs. Severus Snape" the same powerful voice than into the ball room earlier said after the three strikes of cane had been given to get everyone's attention.
They advanced into the bosquet and saw all their guests there. Standing and with bride smiles on their face and clapping cheerily at them. They advanced towards the head table where their ten closest friends were and Severus kissed Hermione softly for a few seconds before pulling her chair out and sitting on his own shortly afterwards.
Their table was a bit larger than the other one and could accommodate twelve guests. There was Harry, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Arthur, Molly, Tiberius Ogden, Professor McGonagall, Lucius, Narcissa and finally Hermione and Severus. Harry rose to his feet after a few seconds and tapped his glass with his knife. He made a small speech telling and finished by wishing them the best. Hermione hugged him as a thank and Severus shook his hand.
The first dish arrived and more speeches were pronounced by different guests. Each time, Hermione and Severus would go towards the person who had spoke and thank them. Sofia came to them when they had both finished their appetizers and whispered that it was now the time for their first dance.
Severus stood up and took Hermione's hand softly into his own and helped her rise to her feet before taking her by the small of her back. He led her towards the dancefloor and placed one hand on her waist while his other hand held her hand. They stilled for a few seconds before the sound of the harp from the song Pas de deux from the ballet Nutcracker filled their ears.
They began dancing, each other lost in the other one's eyes. They waltzed for a minute or two alone, everyone's eyes fixated upon them. But neither of them acknowledging the other guests. For them, it was like nothing else mattered, almost like if nothing existed apart from the two of them. The music transporting them and making the moment even more magical.
Soon enough, Harry, Ginny, Luna and Neville began dancing around them before the other guests came and joined in too. When the music came to a stop, Hermione and Severus stayed a long time into each other's arm not daring to take their eyes away from each other, afraid that this was just a dream. Severus bent towards Hermione and placed a small kiss on her lips.
When they stopped looking at each other, they saw that everyone was looking at them and Hermione blushed to a shade of pink Severus found lovely.
"This was the most perfect first dance I could have dreamt for my little witch. I bet you're tired, come let's sit and continue eat. I want this whole thing to be finished by one so I can properly show my wife how much I missed her" Severus said taking Hermione and leading her towards their seats.
Everyone did the same and the waiters brought the main dish in. Once again, speaches were pronounced and they both danced. Only this time with the other guests. Hermione danced with Harry and Severus with Ginny. Although he hadn't been her favorite professor at Hogwarts. Ginny found that the man behind the mask he put to teach was most agreeable.
After the cheese had been cleared of the table, Hermione and Severus went to the middle of the dancefloor and the 10 layers wedding cake was brought to them. It was a chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cake covered in black and white fondant. The two little figures depicted the two of them could move into a loop a little like the pictures of the daily prophet. The one representing Severus was next to a cauldron and stirred a cauldron while the one representing Hermione held a book and flipped from time to time the page.
They both laughed when they saw the figures and took the knife Sofia was presenting them with. Severus' hand resting on Hermione's one as they cut through the cake. He then took a fork a waiter was presenting him with and took a small bit of the cake before leading the fork, his other hand under the piece of cake dangling from the fork. Preventing it from falling to the ground. Hermione did the same and they let the waiters finish cutting the cake and giving the pieces to the guests before returning to their places.
They did a few more dances and walked through the tables of guests talking here and there with their close one's and catching up with them since the war, it was already two in the mourning when Severus pulled Hermione towards him and whispered in her ears
"My darling, I think it is time for us to adjourn, there are bigger matters to be taken in hand." Severus said seductively to Hermione. The double sense of his sentence making Hermione flush to a bright red. "Is Mrs. Snape actually blushing?" he asked in a semi-serious tone.
"I think Mrs. Snape would really like for Mr. Snape to take care of a very bad itch that needs to be scratched. I think it will need to be scratched all night" Hermione said biting her lip seductively at Severus and laughing when she saw his mouth drop in surprise at her boldness.
"I think Mr. Snape will have the greatest pleasure in assisting Mrs. Snape" he responded.
"Get a room you two!" they heard Harry said behind them.
"I think it was exactly what we were doing Potter. Now if you would excuse us, I have a wife to please and believe me, it is hard to tell her no, especially when she…"
"I don't need any details sir. I think you are going to need to Obliviate me for erasing this image out of my mind." Harry interrupted them placing his hands on his ears.
They said goodbye to the guests who were still there and told them to enjoy the rest of the night before leaving the bosquet.
"I have spent the most perfect night in my life Severus" Hermione said kissing him passionately.
"And it hasn't even barely begun love" he continued before taking her bridal style and back up to the Manor.
When he had reached the foyer, he let her stand back up on her feet and they both began kissing with so much passion, one could feel it from across the room.
"Please, Severus, it's been too long, I need you" Hermione said against his lips before taking his lower one in her mouth and pulling it through her teeth slightly.
"I need you too my little witch, but patience comes with it's perks" Severus said smiling into their kiss.
"Stop teasing Severus, please." She breathed out. His hands went to the back of her dress began undoing the laces quickly. Suddenly, she felt the dress go loose and detach itself from her body.
"Sorry love, looks like my magic got a little bit out of hand and wanted you out of this dress now." He said chuckling as Hermione looked at him with lust filled eyes.
He helped her get out of the dress and when he saw her lace encased body, his cock sprang to life almost painfully and he felt light headed as his blood flowed straight to his nether region. Without a second of hesitation, he took her in his arms careful as not to hurt her or their baby and took her up the stairs still kissing her already swollen lips from their previous snogging session.
When he reached their bedroom, he opened the door before slamming it back shut with a large kick of his boot on the door. She stood once again back onto her legs and latched onto Severus before pinning him to the door and ripping his clothes off his body and discarding them to a side of the bedroom. She made sure that she had left his extremely tented boxers untouched. He removed her jewellery with a snap of his finger and they disappeared straight into the box where the jewels would normally be.
"Hermione, take me, please. I need you love" Severus begged as he braced himself against the door and bucked his hips so they could meet Hermione's lips who had been kissing his body more or less randomly during this all time.
Finally, Hermione hooked her fingers on the band of Severus' boxers and with one swift movement pulled it all the way down. He stepped out of the undergarment and she threw it to the other side of the room before taking his proudly erect shaft in her hands and cupping gently his balls.
She gave a teasing lick to the tip of his cock leaking of pre-cum. He let a soft groan out of his lips and it took all his will power not to grab onto her hair and fuck her mouth. As he was about to come and spill his seed deep inside her throat, he pulled her away and kneeled to her height before helping her back up.
They walked towards the bed as he took the lingerie off of her body and threw it all over the room. Decorating at the same time a lamp with her soaked knickers and the Louis XV chair with her bra. He laid her softly on the bed while he stayed standing up in between her legs. All he wanted to do was to take her here and now. But he had promised her a long night, so that was exactly what he had promised.
He placed a hand on her stomach and felt a small kick against his hand. She laughed a little and he lowered himself onto her before placing his mouth around her clit and blowing a little over it. She was so aroused that her hips bucked off the bed as she tried to relieve the building ache inside her.
"Patience my witch." Severus said removing his hand from her lap and placing it softly on top of her baby bump and placed her hips back steady on the bed.
"Fuck patience!" Hermione said before pulling Severus to him and straddling him his cock filling her completely.
"Merlin balls, Hermione" he groaned as she began riding him harder and harder.
"I'm going to…" Hermione gasped
And before she had the time to finish her sentence, she came and shouted his name so loud that her shout was heard very clearly at the other side of the Prince Manor. He too came and placed collapsed next to her. He pulled the cover above the both of them and made sure she was comfortably installed.
"Have a wonderful night my lovely wife. I love you both to the moon and back." He whispered before placing a protecting arm over her belly.
"I love you too my perfect handsome husband" she replied as she fell asleep.
