AN: There will be a Hogwarts scene at the end of this chapter. I promised I would have one. This is the typical shopping chapter with a few added characters. I hope you like it.

Hermione opened her eyes and looked around the room. It was late morning, she could tell by the way the shadows were laying on the floor. She stretched a little dropping the sheet as she made her way out of the bed.

"Good Morning"

Hermione jumped back into the bed and pulled the sheets up under her arms again. "Good morning, you scared me."

Severus walked over to her side of the bed and pulled the sheet down. "I have already seen them, you don't need to hide from me. Now why don't we have a shower, we need to go out a little later, I would suggest putting a slight glamour on. I need to set it up so that you can use my account for anything you need to buy."

Hermione got up, "I don't want to use your money Severus."

"It's not just my money anymore, since you decided on your own to take my name it's yours too. And when the baby is born since you decided to give it my name it will belong to the baby too."

Hermione picked up her nightgown and put it on, "Alright, but I won't spend that much I promise. I will only buy what I need, for both me and the baby."

"I never buy anything, there is so much money in there I doubt you could spend it all."

"I really don't like the idea of making you pay for everything for the baby, since it's not yours."

"You said yourself it will have my name, so it's not a blood heir but that doesn't mean I am not going to take care of it. And as far as anyone knows, you're my wife and it's my child. Now come wife we need a shower."

Hermione followed him into the bathroom. "Why don't we take turns. You go first, then I will go when you are done."

"And waste water I don't thinks so. Why are you acting shy now? The only difference from last night is that it's a little lighter and has water."

Hermione blushed she was acting childish. "It was dark you couldn't see me."

"Well think of this as a learning experience," Severus took Hermione's hand, "Come on we don't have all day to wait until you get the nerves to get into the shower with me."

Hermione sighed in defeat and behind Severus. Hermione didn't want to do this, not because she was afraid of seeing him in the shower or that she was even embarrassed. In the light all of her faults would be seen. "Severus I don't like how I look in the light. I have things wrong with me."

Severus stopped in front of the tub and began to run the water.

"Nobody is prefect. I have a lot of scars from when I was still in school and had just become a Death Eater."

"Mine are different, they are all from Malfoy. One of my legs was badly broken and there is a huge scar from where Madam Pompfrey had to go in manually and add a piece of bone to it. Then there is my stomach, I have this little pooch thing starting."

"That isn't your fault either, there is a baby inside you. Your going to gain weight there is no way around it."

"But it wasn't my choice, I didn't want this just as much as you didn't."

"You decided what you wanted to do with the baby, and you also had a choice to either marry me or leave the Wizarding world that you love so deeply. And you made your decision." Severus turned the shower on, "Now lets wash up, we can talk about this later."

Severus climbed into the water fall style shower, "Come on wife the water is prefect."

Hermione lifted her nightgown up over her head and dropped it on the floor. Taking a deep breath she climbed in.

"It's not that bad is it?" Severus asked as he went over towards the vials of shampoo he had supplied her. Grabbing his favorite one he add some to his hands; slowly he began to lather up the shampoo.

"Let me wash your hair Hermione."

Hermione looked at him as if he was crazy. Why anyone would want to wash her hair was beyond her. Shaking her head she walked under the water and let her hair get wet. After she made sure all her hair was wet she walked forward and turned around.

"I don't see why you don't like your body. It's got a great effect on me." Severus ran his fingers through her hair. "If you were not pregnant I would show you the water sports they don't show you at camp. But of course we could still do them, it's up to you. I can just do the majority of the work, and all you would have to do is hold on."

Hermione stiffened, "I don't think it's safe. I don't want to harm the baby."

Severus continued to massage her head, "It's very safe if your wizard and can do a simple levitation charm. Rinse."

Hermione walked under the water, closing her eyes she began to massage the shampoo from her hair. "Do I get to do you next?"

"Of course you can, it will be good for both of us."

"I meant your hair, I'm still thinking about your offer."

"Why do you want to wash my hair? I do wash it everyday, but I am sure your Gryffindor classmates say it has never seen a drop of shampoo."

"Because it's only fair, you washed mine now I get to do yours. It has nothing to do with school."

"If you must, I will allow you to wash it as long as you don't pick a feminine scent."

Hermione looked at the vials sitting on the shelf in the shower. "How about this one?"

Severus looked at it reading the ingredients before he answered, "It will be fine."

Opening the vial she wafted the shampoo carefully. "It reminds me of Axe."

"Ass… that's not something I wish to smell like. Pick something else, it must have gone bad."

"Axe, not ass. It's a muggle cologne, a lot of young men wear it. It's actually pretty popular." Placing her hands under the water she got them wet. Opening the vial she put a little in the palm of her hand. "Can you get your hair wet please.?"

Severus stepped under the water, rubbing his hands through it a couple of times making sure it was completely wet. Stepping out of the water he waited for Hermione.

"I can't reach your hair." Hermione said looking up at him.

Severus walked over towards the bench turning around he sat down. "Is this better?"

"Yes, thank you." Hermione lathered up the shampoo and leaned over Severus' head. She brought her hands up to his hair and carefully began to massage the shampoo into his hair. "Severus what are you doing?"

Severus looked up from his place at her chest. "There were a perfect distance from me, I couldn't help myself. Is there a problem?"

"I guess…oh… not" Hermione moaned pulling her hands away. "I'm done if…oh you would… umm… rinse please."

Severus pulled his mouth away with a small 'pop'. Standing up he grabbed Hermione and turned her around her back facing the bench. "Wait here."

Severus smirked as he returned to his shower. He never thought someone else washing his hair would be such a turn on.

Hermione reached out and grabbed a towel from the basket next to the shower that kept the towels warm. Pulling it into the shower she quickly dried her hair, before wrapping it around her waist. Taking a quick look over towards Severus, who was grabbing his wash cloth from the shower caddy. She stepped out of the shower and made her way into her room. Opening her armoire she was shocked, "What the.."

"The elves must have moved your clothes into my room…why did you leave me wife?"

Hermione walked past Severus and into his room before she answered, "You said we had a lot of stuff to get done today, I didn't want us to be delayed." Opening the new armoire that had shown up while they were in the shower along with the dressing table she found her clothes. Picking up a pair of panties and a bra she began to put them on.

"Come to bed with me Hermione"

"Severus we don't have time, it's already almost noon, by the time we get ready and get to Diagon Alley it will be almost two. Tonight, if I am not tired. I promise."

Severus thought about it for a moment, "You are correct, we have a lot of things to get done. We might not get it all done today."

Severus dropped his towel and walked to his armoire, looking for something different to wear. "Have you decided if you are going to use a glamour?"

Hermione pulled her dress up to her stomach before struggling. "How come every dress I own has to be tight across the middle and push my breasts up?"

"Because Albus brought them for you and he has a thing for breasts." Severus stepped behind Hermione and helped her pull the dress up. "Or it could be the fact that you are pregnant and are going to be gaining some weight. I am sure if you weren't pregnant these dresses would fit you perfect."

Hermione looked into the mirror again, her hands automatically going towards her stomach. "What do you want for Christmas?"

Severus carefully pulled the zipper up, kissing the nape of her neck as he did. "I normally don't celebrate Christmas. It was never very Merry or Happy when I was a child. But if you want we can do the whole Christmas thing from getting a tree to having Potter over is you want for Christmas Eve. I'm sure you would like to spend some time with him over the holiday. I think I can manage him for a few hours."

Severus turned Hermione around, "And I would like anything, as long as it's not a book. It's hard to find ones that I don't have. What about you? What would you like?"

Hermione thought for a moment, "Anything really, except books. I feel that giving or receiving books means you don't really know me that well. That and clothes, I like buying my own stuff. Oh and Quidditch it bores me. How anyone could have that much fun flying around chasing balls is beyond me."

Severus chucked, he walked back towards the chair where he had thrown his shirt when he went to help Hermione. He put on the dark blue shirt and began to button it.

"What's today's date?" Hermione asked smiling.

"It's the fifth, why?" Severus asked sitting down to put his shoes on.

"Because I have to mark this day on the calendar. Severus Snape Potion's Master wears a different colour." Hermione bent down and picked up her shoes, "Well I thought it was funny."

"I need help with my glamour, since I don't have a wand I can't do it myself." Hermione looked down at the ground again. "Could I use yours? I am sure it's more powerful but I think I can manage it. I don't want you to have the magic pulled from you while I hold it."

Severus handed her his wand, "It's going to be heavy, I have been a Death Eater for the last decade."

Hermione waved the wand over her top half. Thinking carefully she pictured what she wanted to look like. Looking in the mirror she smiled.

Her hair was now jet black and fell just above her waist. Instead of the thick curls, it was straight. Her eyes were a dark green and her skin changed to an olive colour. Opening her mouth to speak she realized she had a slight Italitan accent.

"So how do I look" Hermione asked turning around to look at Severus.

"It's a great glamour, but I like the way you normally are better." Severus turned and walked towards the door. "We will apparate together, you will do your thing and I will do mine. We will met somewhere for dinner at Lady Medusa's then we will apparate to Hogwarts where I can get a tree. Nothing to big but we can pick it out together and no one will be see either of us so if your glamour falls it will be alright. I will floo Albus from the restaurant and let him know we are there. Potter might be allowed out if you would like to help us."

Hermione smiled, "Sounds like a great plan to me. I have never been to Lady Medusa's before. Don't you need a reservation to get in?"

"While you were still sleeping I flooed in the reservation. Now we have a ten minute grace period on the table at 5:30, if we show up any later then 5:40 we will lose the table so don't be late." Taking her arm he walked into the sitting room. "I got you a new wand. It's not like your old one, but this should work with your power. Its not registered so be careful with it."

Hermione looked up at him, standing on her tip toes she kissed him. "Thank you very much. I will feel better now that I have some protection." Kissing him again she dropped back down to her level.

Severus smiled and grabbed their cloaks, helping Hermione with hers he spoke. "For double apperation you have to imagine the same place. How about we do Florish and Blotts?"

"My favorite place" Hermione closed her eyes. "Alright I'm ready when you are."

Severus nodded, "Alright hold on." Closing his eyes he thought carefully on the place they wanted. Taking a deep breath they were gone.

Hermione's stomach rolled as everything began to clear up. "Remind me not to open my eyes while apperating."

"That was a foolish idea, why did you do it?" Severus asked pulling out his pocked watch.

"I have no idea. I guess I just wanted to know what it looked like."

Severus chuckled, "Alright we have about three hours until five, I want to meet up a half hour early just incase either one of us is late.

Hermione took out both her wand and her pocket watch. Saying a little charm she waited for the colour to die down before putting it back into her pocket. "I set an alarm to go off twenty minutes to five so I know when to leave where ever I am."

Severus dug into one of his cloak pockets, "This is the seal to my Gringotts account. Just show this to the cashier and everything will be automatically deducted from the account. Just sign H. J. Snape and your identity will still be yours. But that means anytime you use the seal you must sign it like that."

Hermione took the small pendent and put it around her neck. "Thank you, I'll wear around my neck so I don't lose it. I am going to start at Lil' Wizards and Me."

Severus nodded, kissing the top of her head he headed off towards Knockturn Alley and she turned towards the baby store.

AN: Alright so there wasn't any Hogwarts in this chapter, but as I stated it is coming up. I figured there would be some like 'Classy' restaurants in Diagon Alley and some kind of baby store. Where else are they going to go? There will be a character in the next chapter that everyone should know. And if you don't shame on you. I hope I didn't make either character OOC. The only one I was worried about was Severus, but you really don't know how he would be out of his house. Anyway onto the next chapter, this was long when I wrote it out so I am hoping I can get Hogwarts in this one but if not the next one for sure will have it. Anyway I am sure you are tired of reading this. Until next time.
