Opening his eyes Harry looked around in amazement. "Sev, this is incredible."

Severus pulled his husband close. "I thought you would like. And when you see our room I think you'll see why I chose it."

Seeing while he had his breath taken away Harry had no idea where they actually were Severus led him into the reception area of what Harry realized was a muggle resort hotel and explained. As he led his husband to the front desk Severus explained he had whisked his husband off to the Galapagos Islands.

Severus pulled him close. "We are booked into the honeymoon suite which I am told has one of the best views of the islands. From the bed."

Harry nibbled on his husband's ear. "Hmmm...not even checked into our room Mr. Snape and already have the bed on your mind."

When they got to the front desk the clerk smiled and said there was no doubt the couple were definitely honeymooners. He handed them a key and they headed for the elevator as they were at the top of the beautiful luxury resort. The Finch Honeymoon suite was a huge airy penthouse suite with incredible views even from the bathroom of the beach and ocean, several other islands off in the distance. There were bouquets of flowers every where, some chocolates and wine on ice.

Severus led him out onto the balcony. "This is where Charles Darwin studied. Maybe no lions but I thought the wild life here could give us some inspiration."

Harry smiled and peered over his husband's shoulder at the bedroom. "I think we need to discover if the talk about the view from the bed is as good as we are told."

Tugging his husband towards the bedroom where for a moment they spotted the huge bathroom with the Jacuzzi tub, Harry smiled as his husband did away with their clothing with the flick of the wand.

Harry smiled as his husband tugged him down on the bed. "See I told you we should have left earlier. You can barely stop from ravishing my body."

Severus pushed his husband down against the mattress. "I promised you and your dads I'd be ravishing you body at the exact moment we became husbands."

As his husband sunk his teeth into the delicate flesh of his neck Harry realized with a moan that his husband was right and in about ten minutes they would have officially been husbands for a year. Though he definitely did not think his dads had been asking for him to ravish their son he knew that they wanted the little grandbaby nearly as much as the men.

As Severus sunk into his husband and Harry wrapped his legs around his husband Severus kissed him before starting. "Happy anniversary my love."

Harry returned the kiss. "Happy anniversary."

Though they had left after breakfast because of the time difference it was very early in the Galapagos, the hotel night desk man checking them in for his husband had paid a bit extra to check in well before normal. They had hours before lunch and they had every intention of making use of those hours. By the time their stomachs were growling for lunch or dinner on their time schedule, they had christened their honeymoon bed at least five times.

Severus smiled as he heard his husband's stomach growl as they lay together. "Did I make my little lion hungry? Your stomach is growling pretty loud."

Harry snuggled into his arms. "I might be a bit hungry but I don't want to leave the room."

Laughing at his husband's pout Severus grabbed a room service menu. "Then I guess my love it is a good thing that we are at a muggle resort."

Smiling Harry happily helped select the food from the menu with his husband and after Harry placed the call for his husband had not used a telephone in too many years, and when they were done Severus coaxed his husband out of bed.

He led Harry into the bathroom. "How about we take a nice shower in this lovely steam shower and have lunch out on our balcony."

Harry's pout returned but he slipped into the shower with him. "Here I thought we were supposed to have no need for underwear you packed."

Pulling his husband close to his body Severus assured him that they would be unclothed more then they were dressed but he had not brought his husband to the other side of the world to keep him in a hotel room all of the time. He had every intention of Harry seeing some of this amazing place. He had plans for dinner to start.

Harry found himself turned around so his husband could wash his back. "I guess I could be persuaded to be swept off my feet by my utterly romantic husband."

Finishing hi husband's back Severus kissed his neck and turned him around to repay the favour."I'd hope so or I might have to go and snog another tourist."

Smacking his husband on the arm he asked his husband how much better a cradle robber like him could think he could manage. He did the honours for his husband and when they climbed out they dried but Severus handed him a robe and lead him out in just that to the sitting room. They found that room service must have read minds or had enough experience with honeymooners and instead of in the inside dinning room they found the table out there and lunch already waiting.

Severus helped his husband into the chair and as he sat down he took the bottle of wine they ignored before and poured him a glass. "To toast my amazing husband."

Harry smiled and tapped glasses with his husband. "And to an amazing two weeks of love making and some exploration in the tropics."

Simplicity was the theme of the day as they dined on a wonderful fresh fruit salad with a cold yogurt dressing, and a few simple light dishes. The bed definitely had a beautiful view thanks to the glass walls of the balcony but sitting in chairs on the balcony definitely gave them one of the most amazing views Harry had ever had.

After lunch Severus drew his husband back towards the bed. "There are a few hours before our dinner plans and I for one want to burn off some of those calories."

Allowing his husband to draw him back down onto the bed Harry smirked. "The way we were burning calories earlier, we will lose weight on this trip."

There was a gym at the health spa of the resort but neither of them thought they would have any need of it. If they did not turn enough in the bed they would with some of the plans Severus had for them. In Greece they only left the island twice, for the Parthenon and Olympia. He wanted Harry to see more this time around.

Eventually they did venture from their suite and Severus took Harry to his surprise. "Horse stables?"

Severus nodded. "There is a sunset ride up along the volcanic flows here on the island including a dinner. I thought it was a perfect start for our trip."

Knowing how much his husband loved to ride a broom he had tried to find something that might get his husband as excited but stop him from needing to fly. Harry's face lit up as they headed out for the ride along these beautiful formations of hardened lava and the picnic dinner along the water as the sun was setting was the perfect way to finish their first day in the Galapagos. That was not to say they went to bed when they got back.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Three days after they arrived they decided it was time to make another trip out of the bedroom and were scheduled to go on an all day island hopping trip which would include as well as the catamaran, some snorkelling with sea lions and turtles in the afternoon.

Harry laughed as they finally headed down for the boat."We have been on an island for almost four days and this is the first time we're even going near water."

Severus shrugged. "Well we were on the beach for our picnic the first night. Besides Mr Snape I don't recall anyone complaining about not leaving the bedroom."

While they had every intention before they left of seeing some of Ecuador and near by Peru as well including the famous Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, they had been making a lot of use of room service and they did not plan on ending that soon either.

When they boarded the catamaran they found a spot along the front of the boat. "It was the pictures of some of the spots of this trip that made me decide."

Harry remembered the brochures. "It would be so cool if we got to swim with some dolphins but even if we don't the sea lions and the turtles will be amazing."

They both had read some of the literature about Charles Darwin and some of the research he had done here. Harry remembered hearing about him when he had lived in the muggle world and Severus had known some as well. From looking at the kind of wild life they were going to see why,

Severus surprised him by handing him the gift from his aunt. "You forgot to open this."

Harry opened the package and found a book on snorkelling in the Galapagos and a camera. "That is why she told me not to open till we left."

Though the camera would take amazing photos when they were on land, it was waterproof and would allow Remy to take some amazing photos when they were snorkelling. There was a note from his Aunt telling him to have an amazing time and to send her copies of some of the photos.

Severus put the wrapping back in the bag. "I told her where we were going. When she suggested the gift I said it could be adapted to work off and develop by magic."

Harry was really touched by the gift. "You know the only birthday gift I got from them growing up was old pairs of my Uncle's socks every year."

Kissing his husband Severus reminded Harry those days were long gone. He not only had a husband who loved him but fathers who adored him and who were constantly trying to spoil him against his protests. A big brother and baby sister he adored. And now his Aunt and cousin as well who he was close with finally.

Harry watched as they were drawing alone one of the closest island. "Perhaps if we conceive on the trip we do a nursery inspired by the photos that we took."

Severus kissed him. "I think that even if we don't, that this could definitely be a beautiful inspiration for a nursery. All the animals."

As they drew along the island where they were able to get off and walk along a board walk and see the amazing giant tortoises the Galapagos were known for, Harry could not help but picture a nursery with sea lions and dolphins swimming across the walls. Maybe a little mobile of fish above the bed.

Severus saw his husband's grin and seemed to know what it was from. "Thinking of the nursery still aren't you? We will work on filling it when we get back."

Harry snuggled into his arms. "As much as I love working on it, I m grateful we have left the hotel today. This is definitely amazing."

Sharing his husband's sentiments Severus took his husband's photo with one of the giant tortoises and he had to agree. He had never really card about the money he had inherited for he lived for free at school and never really traveled. He barely spent any of his wages over the years. He realized now that he was married that there was so much of the world he had missed out on and he wanted to see it. More then that, wanted to experience it with his amazing husband. He and Harry since he had come into the Black fortunes as well as his trust from his dads, were likely richer then Lucius combined but the money meant little to them. But they could definitely see more of the world together.

After lunch on one of the other islands where they spent some time bird watching and saw some of the famous finches the director called. "The snorkel is next."

Harry smiled and got his camera out. "This is going to be so amazing. I don't think I have been so excited about trying something since flying."

Severus led him to where they would be getting off the boat. "I love the way your eyes sparkle like that when you're excited Harry. They glow."

Though they did not get the chance to see dolphins that day Harry was not disappointed for swimming with the sea lions was incredible as well as the turtles. His husband had thought about Africa but had decided on lions of a different kind, ones of the playful and not man eating variety. He had to be sure to have the photo of his husband looking like he was about to kiss a sea lion framed. Though Harry was threatening to show the school a similar one of Severus.

Severus pulled his husband close as they headed back for the boat. "You show anyone that photo and you will be sleeping on the couch."

Harry nudged him in the ribs. "I will just move back into my room with my dads. Though I happen to think you'd be punishing yourself as much as me."

Though Severus made a joke about his husband's cold feet and waking him when he had to be up early, Severus agreed. He was grateful though that his husband would not be playing quidditch this year now that he graduated though he still might have the rare early start as he would be helping doing a bit of coaching.

Severus smiled as they looked through the photos on the way back. "I think we need to change the symbol of Gryffindor to a sweet playful sea lion."

Harry smirked at his husband. "I remind you dear husband my former house are not all sweet natured things. There is a reason I turned snake in sixth year."

Though he knew there were a number of exceptions though most were now in prison now, the lions he still tended to find were far easier going and more like sea lions then man eating carnivores. Though Harry who had been a lion for years was a very good cunning snake. Severus tended to think he was a born one.

Back at the resort Severus surprised his husband again by not leading him up stairs. "We are booked in at the spa here for a few relaxation techniques."

Harry raised an eyebrow at his husband when he heard that. "Okay who are you and what have you done to my husband? Relaxation techniques at a spa?"

Severus laughed and pulled him in. "I was reminded for the two of us to get pregnant we need to relax and have fun. This definitely should help us relax."

Harry had never been to one before and thought his husband was possessed but he had to admit after a couples massage and then a joint mud bath and to their shock even a facial which brought laughter, they definitely were both relaxed by the time they headed back to their rooms. Severus had ordered up a special dinner but he led his husband instead to the bedroom.

He lowered Harry against the pillows. "I think I'm too relaxed after the massage to eat just yet. I think we need to build up our appetite."

Showing his approval Harry wrapped a leg around his husband's hips and drew him down on top of him. "I could go for that."

By the time they ventured outside their dinner to watch the sunset turned out to be a candle light dinner under the stars. Harry was not too disappointed for he enjoyed the stars. He was just grateful they had their wands for the dinner had definitely gone cold long before.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

By their last day they had definitely made good use of his birthday gift even if they spent three quarters of the time in bed. They had gone kayaking and seen dolphins finally for Harry but they had also gone to the mainland and gone to some traditional villages, done some glacier trekking and white water rafting. They even took a bit of a river cruise through the dense rainforest. There was an upside to being able to apparate; they got to see a lot more then just the islands. They left their trip into Peru for their last day. They planned on some souvenir shopping for their family back home and exploring Machu Picchu.

Harry smiled as he purchased two of the last gift. Two beautiful dolls."One for Emma and perhaps one of our own."

Severus kissed him and agreed but also chose a toy turtle. "Just in case we have a boy. Don't want him to feel too girly."

Laughing Harry agreed and the two of them purchased some food as they finished the last of their souvenir shopping and headed to apparate to Machu Picchu. After all of the wild life, getting to see some monkeys and more immense wild life, even a jaguar when in the Amazon the day before, the ruins seemed tame but they had both wanted to go. When they saw the views they knew they made the right choice.

They explored the ruins but soon were sitting down for the picnic they packed. "Got a lot more tired up here then before. It must be the elevation."

Severus handed him a drink. "Other then glaciers we have basically been at sea level for two weeks. I'm not surprised."

Taking out one of the books on local culture that he had bought for his dads for their library collection, he and his husband enjoyed some of the history of the beautiful ruins they had bee walking through.

Harry had taken a number of photos. "We will have to give them copies of some of these photos. They will go well with the books."

Severus laughed. "You know you're turning more into your dads. You're always telling them not to spoil you and we're bringing them gifts home four our trip."

He knew his husband was just teasing for Severus thought it was a good idea after the party thrown for them and the help they gave him planning. They had got Draco and Blaise two gifts. One for just from the trip and the second for their wedding.

Severus had one last surprise for him. "I thought before we returned for one last night at the resort there was one thing we should do when we are in Peru."

Harry did not know a lot for he had read mostly about the islands and Ecuador. "Now what do you have planned."

Though he did not know much either of Peru for plans for trips from the islands had been when he was planning the honeymoon been confined to Machu Picchu and Ecuador but they had come here for the rainforest as well, doing glaciers, rafting and some villages in Ecuador.

Harry smiled when they appeared at the edge of a beautiful serene lake. "Sev?"

Severus led him down a walking path. "Welcome to Lake Titicaca. We are actually on the island of Taquile in the middle of the lake."

The named seemed so familiar and Harry knew when he thought, it was quite a famous lake probably because of the name. For all his husband's jokes about gifts they ended up doing a bit of shopping here as they had beautiful textiles and bought themselves as well as Hermione and Viktor, beautiful throw blankets. They were taken out by one of the local natives on his fishing boat to go around the island and later had dinner at his house. Many of the locals made extra money using their extra bedrooms for tourists. They were returning to the hotel but enjoyed the homey meal in the home.

Back at the resort they spent one last evening walk along the beach. Severus asked. "I hope that was a decent end. I know it was a bit tame compared to the rest."

Harry kissed his husband. "I had an amazing time and it was the perfect end. Well actually going back to our room for one last night of love making would be."

Happy his husband had enjoyed the trip so much Severus scooped his husband up and carried him all the way inside and up to their rooms. Neither cared how little sleep they got. They could go to bed when they got home. Their family could wait to hear about the trip until the day after.
