A/N: Hello, I truly am sorry about the wait. I got hooked on crocheting amigurumi…no pun intended…haha So here is chapter 7 and chapter 8 should be up soon. And here we will see the wedding night at home and she Severus' view of the wedding.

Chapter 7

The newly weds had barely landed on Severus' doorstep when Hermione roughly pulled herself out of his grip and glared at him.

"What the hell did you do to me?" She demanded, fire burning behind her eyes.

Severus only stared at her, in a state of shock she didn't recognize the Latin words, her being a braniac and so he forgot the decorum and let the sarcasm speak for him, "I cast a spell, I thought you might notice that."

"No shit Sherlock. What kind of spell?"

Severus rolled his eyes at mention of the muggle detective character. His father might have been callous and harsh, but like his mother, there had been a love for books.

"What kind of spell, Severus? I do not like how it felt."

"It sounded like you did when you screamed."

"Tell. Me. Now."

"I said Voluptatem et Protégé. I trust the 'brightest witch of her age can translate that."

Hermione's face softened only a fraction as she thought, and scanned her brain. "Pleasure and protect?"

"Very good Ms. Granger."

Severus was annoyed now, and having fun pushing her buttons. She was accustomed to being called Hermione, and knew she would protest. Alas, she merely opened her mouth to say, "Why?"

"Perhaps, my wife, we should take this inside."

"No. I want answers now."

Severus hadn't the patience to deal with her. He swooped her up in his arms and out of fear she clung to him, but thrashed her legs violently as if she could kick him. Nonverbally he spelled the door open and carried her inside to the living while the door swung shut behind them.

"Now you insufferable witch, I will tell you why," Severus stated coldly, "Simply so that you would feel pleasure and not pain. And so that you would not have an unnecessary burden to carry, or catch any unlikely diseases. I cast it upon myself as well."

"But why not just take me? Surely that would be more believable. Just take your mudblood wife and not care about her pleasure."

Severus was tired of her assumptions. He was angry that she wasn't grateful at all, "If that is how you want it Ms. Granger, then next time I shall do nothing for you."

With that he stalked off towards his bedroom. Hermione stared after him a while before following only to go to her room and speaking softly under her breath, "Mrs. Snape."

Severus sat in his bed thinking. His mind unable to allow him any rest. He thought about the wedding in itself, simple, quick, binding.

"Of course Severus, make sure he knows exactly what vows to have her make."

Severus stalked quickly to the room where the man was being kept. Upon Severus' entrance, Mr. Weats drew even further into his corner out of fear.

"Y-you're, w-with them!" He accused, "I'll, t-tell ev-vryone abou-out you."

Severus was both stung by the comment, knowing that if the sniveling coward did, he would be unable to deny the truth, and annoyed. "Idiot, do you honestly think you'll survive this ordeal? I am simply here to say that I need to be able to be free to…dally with other women, but only if The Dark Lord commands. The plain vows should be good enough. Do you understand?"

The shaking, stuttering wizard nodded, confused that he was not being tortured and watched as the all man left the room quietly.

Now Severus merely had to change into dress robes, but he felt it would be pointless to physically change so he simply transfigured his robes and walked towards the grand hall where he knew the ceremony would take place.

"Ah, Severus, you've returned. I expect Narcissa will have returned to the mudblood by now to collect her."

"Miss Granger was left alone?" Severus asked.

"Yes, do you not trust my judgment, Severusss?"

"Of course I do my lord," Severus said while bowing, "I simply worry that others don't."

Narcissa walked in, followed by Bellatrix and the conversation ended. This was it. He moment Severus Snape would be marrying the know-it-all Gryffindor student he had disliked for years. When the door opened to reveal her, he did not picture his student as he thought he would. Instead, he saw before him a grown and elegant woman, mature beyond even his years. She had a certain grace about her, and the strapless dress oddly suited her frame, when he found more often then not, it made a woman's shoulders look much too wide.

He watched her hesitation the entire ceremony, and felt her discomfort, and wondered if she could feel his. Though part of his stemmed from the feeling that their first time would be public for the death-eaters' entertainment.

Of course he ended up being right, and while he said the spell had been cast on both, he had no need for the pleasure part. He had been fully aroused, no matter how hard he fought it, and her fighting against the spell while giving in at the same time only made him harder for her.

Severus felt himself begin to stir and so he stopped thinking about anything, mediated and turned over to grab a bottle of Dreamless Sleep Potion he kept on the bed side.

Severus awoke, having slept quite nicely for the first time in ages. Maybe it was the sex, or maybe there was something about the bed that had changed. He didn't know, but he proceeded to go downstairs anyway.

Hermione stood, completely dressed at the stove. He watched as she flipped a pancake while going through the mail.

He went to take a step towards her when a familiar red ministry letter zipped past him and spoke, "Hermione Jean Granger, You are hereby ordered to attend a trial at the Ministry of Magic This Friday, the 5th at 12 0'clock pm. to see if you are found guilty of violating Wizengmont Law 3,321 article 1 subsection 3. Should you be found guilty, you will be expelled from Hogwarts and may spend 17 to life in Azkaban. Sincerely, Mathilda Smith, Head of Wizarding Healthcare department."

With that the letter ripped itself up and Hermione turned red and Severus felt a shock grow with in him.

"Miss Granger, when did you have an abortion?"

A/N: Well, there you have it. Hermione's big secret is out. If you do not like that I have put this in here, I understand. But there are reasons for an abortion, and Hermione had a good one as you will see at the trial, you will also see how it affects her new marriage. I hope you enjoyed. I meant to post earlier I swear, I just got caught up with school and stuff. I promise to try harder. Please review… It's almost my birthday.
