AN: Im still looking for a beta so please email if you want to do it for me. This chapter took a long time to do since I really didn't know what I was going to put into it, plus what I had written a lot out but I have probably 4 notebooks I normally write in so I couldn't really find it.

Hermione reread the note again. Everything sounded right about the traditional wedding. She smiled at the little notes Severus had added. Grabbing her robe from her armoire she walked into the bathroom. Checking both locks she began to run the bath water. Looking around in the cabinet she found the vials. Severus' scratchy handwriting labeled them, pouring them into the warm water she began to undress. Calling for Krispie she climbed into the tub.

Severus looked in to the mirror, he had already showered and now he was ready to shave. He had to be clean shaven just like Hermione. But he had less to shave, he hoped Hermione was doing alright with the information he had given her. He only had to be clean shaven only one other time in his life. When he took the mask, it was an ancient dark art tradition. Opening his towel he looked down at his hairless groin, shaking his head he tied his towel again.

Walking into his room he picked up his dress robes. Being in the dungeons made it a lot colder and darker then he was used to. He began to get dressed pulling his trousers up over his naked half. Shaking his head again he began to button them up. Grabbing his shirt he walked over to his mirror again. His hair was a mess, it looked a lot like Potter's and that just pissed him off. How did Albus talk him into doing this. Severus Snape wasn't supposed to get married. Putting on his shoes on he grabbed his teaching cloak and began to walk up to the Headmaster's office where Albus waited his arrival.

Severus couldn't understand why he had decided this was a good idea. He had always hated Granger, but these last few months he didn't see the Know-It-All he knew from class. He saw a helpless young woman who needed his help. But that help shouldn't mean he had to marry her. The baby wasn't his and he didn't care what Ms. Granger did.

Severus stopped in front of Albus' office. If he didn't care about her why was he marrying her. Because Albus told him too. And there is no way to get around Albus.

"Severus why are you standing outside my office? Why didn't you come in?" Albus asked while holding the door open.

"I was lost in thought" Severus answered while walking past him. "Lets get this over with I have papers to grade."

Albus smiled, "Alright Severus you must give me the address of your house please."

Severus walked over to Albus' desk and grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill. He quickly scribbled down his address. "Alright, lets go" He handed the parchment to Albus and grabbed some floo powder and stated his destination. In green flames he was gone.

Albus walked over to his desk and grabbed his binding book. He walked over to the hearth. He looked at the parchment and read out the address. Throwing in a wee bit of floo powder and he was gone.

Hermione stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Her hair was down her back in soft waves. On the top of her head there was a ring of white lilies. The dress fit perfectly just like Severus had said it would. Although the corset was a little snug around her middle, but at three months it was to be expected. She turned to her side and rubbed the skirt down around her stomach and looked into the mirror. Her stomach was already beginning to round out, it actually made her look pregnant. Hermione smiled into the mirror and rubbed her stomach again.

Coming through the floo, Severus looked around expecting to see Hermione walking around the kitchen waiting for him. As Albus came through he went off to find her.

Severus passed Hermione's room and stopped right outside her door. Looking in he was surprised at what he saw. He never had a single feeling for her until now. He didn't love her or even like her, but he did feel he needed to do this, not for himself but for her and the baby she carried.

"Hermione" Severus called knocking on the open door. "Are you ready, the Headmaster is here."

Hermione turned around and looked over at Severus. "I didn't know you were back already." She breathed deeply, "I'm ready."

Severus nodded, "Well come on, we don't have all night the Headmaster is a very busy man."

Hermione walked towards the door. "Your mother had great taste, I do have a white dress that the Headmaster brought me for special occasions."

"Since I am wearing my father's wedding attire I thought you should wear my mother's. The colours are symbolic I will let you look them up . I wouldn't want to tell you everything." Severus held out his arm. "Please allow me, Hermione."

Hermione nodded and took his arm. "I know almost nothing about weddings in the Wizarding world. I am not sure what to expect."

Severus stopped walking and turned to look at Hermione. "Have I found something Ms. Hermione Granger doesn't know about?"

"Yes, I never really wanted to get married, so why would I research it."

"Because you research everything Why not this." Severus walked over to the sofa. "Alright I'll tell you about the wedding. But if you interrupt me I will stop and let you find things out while they are happening."

Hermione sat down next to him. "I will try not to interrupt."

"I'll take that for now" Severus took a deep breath. "Each sex is represented by a different colour and element. Male black for the mysterious side of the male ego and as I said before white for the female innocence. It doesn't matter if it is true or not, to the public you will always be the site of innocence. Any time we go out you will wear white and I will wear black. At least your cloak has to be white, you can wear any jumper you would like. And you will wear ladies dress since you will be married. The silver and gold means you have stats in the world. Since I am a pureblood we get the best of everything. Your ring with be platinum and mine will be gold." Severus reached into his pocket

"This is my ring, it was my father's don't lose it. I might have hated my father but this ring as well as the one on your finger the only thing I have ever gotten from him. The ceremony it's self is a simple hand fasting Potter is your witness, he will not be staying the night. He has your hand fasting robes. Just like your dress it is white and gold and mine are black and silver. The only thing that might bother you is the breaking in the marriage bed. In the eyes of the ministry we will not be married until I take you to bed."

"I understand it was going to happen. I guess I'm a little scared but I understand that it is required no wait that sounded wrong." Hermione stopped talking. "I understand, aren't we supposed to be heading out towards the back yard."

Severus stood up from the couch, "Come on lets get this done I don't want Potter here any longer then he has to be."

Hermione stood up and took Severus' arm again. "I want to thank you, I know this isn't something that you wanted to do but thank you anyway."

Severus walked out the back door, "You might not be saying thank you later."

Hermione closed her eyes, taking a deep breath she stepped outside.
