Chapter Six: Family
"Will you marry me?"
Hermione stared at him. "What?"
"Will you marry me?"
Hermione choked and nodded, a tear rolling down her cheek. "Yes!"
"Yes?" he asked her not believing she said "yes".
"Yes!" she repeated laughing and wrapping her arms around his neck. He wrapped his around her waist and lifted her into his arms, twirling her around, making her laugh even harder. When he put her down, he said, "Okay, here, put it on." He grabbed the engagement ring out of her hand and put it on her ring finger on her left hand. The ring was beautiful. It was a square diamond in the middle, about fourteen carats. (A/N: I know. It sounds over the top. Oh, well. Haha.) The band was a simple silver.
"Harry, it's really beautiful."
"My dad proposed to my mum with this ring. I found it in my vault in Gringotts. I was going to go and buy you an engagement ring, but I found this instead. I thought it was amazing. The wedding ring is even grander."
"I know. I've seen pictures," Hermione said smiling. "So, this isn't a dream? This is real? We're really getting married?"
"Yeah, I think so," Harry said giving her a toothy grin. "I hope this is real." He kissed her lips and she kissed him back, tongues dueling.
Lily came laughing to their sides. She noticed Hermione's ring. "Pwetty."
"Lily, we have something to say," she said squatting down. Harry followed suit. "Daddy and I...are getting married?"
"'Mawwied'? What dat, Mummy?" she asked curiously.
"Married is when two people love each other, like your Daddy and I, they decide to spend the rest of their lives together," Hermione explained to Lily.
"Oh," Lily looked downtrodden. "I still wive wiff you?"
Harry and Hermione looked shocked. "Yes! Of course, Lily. Daddy, you, and me are all still going to live here. Just Daddy and Mummy are going to share a room."
Lily grinned. "Wike in the book Mummy gave me?! Wike the famwy?!"
"Yes, like the family in the book. We're going to be a proper family," Harry said.
Lily gasped and wrapped her arms around both of their necks. "Yay!"
They hugged her back and smiled at each other.

A few hours later, the family arrived at the Grangers' house. Charlotte walked outside confused, but smiling anyway. "Harry, Hermione, Lily? What are you doing here?"
"We have some more news, Mum," Hermione said smiling with Lily in her arms as she hugged her mother. Harry hugged his future mother-in-law.
"Hey, Harry."
"Hey, Charlotte."
"Grammy!" Lily cried and hugged her grandmother.
"Lily! Have you been a good girl for Mummy and Daddy?" Lily nodded.
Charlotte looked at Hermione's stomach. "You're not pregnant, are you?" she asked. Hermione shook her head, remembering her ask the same question right after they adopted Lily.
"No, Mum. Come on, there's something we have to tell you and Dad." They walked into the house and saw Jacob in a chair watching a television show. He switched it off when he saw who it was.
"Hey, kids!" he greeted.
"Poppy!" Lily hugged her grandfather now.
"Hey, Lily! Hermione!" Hermione kissed his cheek.
"Hey, Dad!"
"Harry! Great to see you, lad!" He held out his hand, which he took.
"You, too, sir."
"Well, what was it you wanted to tell us?" Charlotte asked.
Hermione looked at Harry, encouraging him to tell them.
"Oh, uh, well, you see, we..." he was too nervous, afraid of what they would say.
"We're engaged!" Hermione blurted out. They gasped and smiled and hugged the engaged couple. "Oh, my baby's getting married!" Charlotte gushed.
"Congratulations, Harry! You take care of my daughter now, you hear?" Jacob asked. "If you hurt her, I might just have to hunt you down."
"Uh, you can be sure, sir, that I will never hurt her and I'll take care of her," he smiled bervously and kissed Hermione on the head.
They talked and laughed. Charlotte and Hermione began planning the wedding.

A few days later, Hermione had been reading up on Soul Bonding and talked to Harry about it. They were lying on their couch. Hermione in between his legs, writing tidbits of the wedding down on a notepad.
"Soul Bond?" he asked.
"Yes, we'll be bonded not only marriage but by souls as well. My fate is your fate. I feel what you feel. It's like the wizarding version of marriage. Lily is soul bonded to us by family. You said you felt it. Well, this is what wizards do. We can have both a Muggle marriage and a Soul Bond ceremony," Hermione explained.
Harry nodded. "Yeah, that sounds perfect. Which should we do first?"
"The Soul Bond. Because we'll be going on our honeymoon after our Muggle marriage," Hermione said.
Harry nodded. "When shall we get married?"
"Hm," Hermione thought on this. "I don't know. It's the beginning April. I don't really want a big wedding. I don't really care if it's big or not, just as long as I am getting married. So, end of May? It won't be too hot, I hope."
"Okay, sounds good. And we'll have the Soul Bond ceremony a week before?"
"Yeah. But it's not initiated until it is complete. I'm sure you know how it's completed," she looked at him raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"Oh," he smiled blushing. "I can't wait for that. So,...how long does it take to complete?"
"Well, it depends on the witch and wizard. If they are not that powerful, it could take about a day. But if they are really powerful, it could take a few days."
"Like, me inside you for a few days, both of us unconscious? Is that what you're trying to tell me?!" he asked shocked.
"Yeah," she replied her face flushing red.
"That's-Oh, my God! We're going to have to have someone watch Lily," Harry said blushing as well.
"I'm sure my parents will take her." She inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Where should we have the wedding?"
"I don't know. A church? Or maybe at Hogwarts?" Harry suggested.
"I don't know. Where did your parents get married?" Hermione asked.
"Here," he answered. "This was my grandparents' house, and my great-grandparents'. The Manor has been in my family since the first Potter in the 100s A.D. Or at least the land has. They kept renovating the Manor. Do you want to get married here?"
"Yes, we can have a small ceremony. Just my parents and Remus, Tonks, and Teddy, and Hagrid and McGonagall, as well."
"Whatever you want," he kissed her neck, making her smile.
"NO!" they heard a baby yell from upstairs.
Harry looked at Hermione panicking.
"Lily!" they shouted and ran up the stairs to their daughter's aid. They burst into her room. She was still lying in her crib. She was still "sleeping", just crying because she was scared.
"Lily?" Hermione shook her, trying to wake her up. "Lily, wake up!" She sat up crying. She looked around frantically. "Mummy! Daddy!" Hermione gathered her in her arms. "What happened, Lily?"
"Bad man 'gain. Hurt Mummy and Daddy 'gain."
"Lily, look at Daddy." She gazed up in his eyes, the same eyes she had coincidentally. "Daddy will not let anyone hurt Mummy or you, I promise, okay?"
She nodded. 'No, Daddy, Wiwy won't wet anyone hurt you or Mummy.' (A/N: Don't you just want to die?! Haha)
H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr
The two teens put Lily back to sleep and went to Harry's room to talk.
"She's getting these nightmares frequently now. It's starting to scare me," Hermione said, lying down on the bed next to Harry.
"Yeah, I wish there was something we can do to help her," he said.
"The only thing we can do is be there for her."
Harry looked at her and leant over and began to kiss her passionately. She kissed him back with as much force as he was giving her. It got too heated and Hermione broke away. "Wait, Harry, wait. Um, I kind of want to wait until we're bonded. I'm sorry."
Harry smiled and rolled off of her. "Phew! Thank God! Me, too! I just wasn't sure if you wanted to wait. I just want to make you happy."
"You're so sweet, Harry," she kissed his lips briefly. "I think it would be more romantic if we waited until we're Soul Bonded. It's the anticipation. I know we won't be married in the Muggle world, but we'll be married in the Magical world."
"Yeah, I don't understand why people have sex before they're married. I mean, what if you're not in love with them and you get pregnant? You're stuck with them," Harry said. (A/N: this is how I am. I'm not having sex until I'm married. Ppl may think I'm a freak because of this, but i dont care. Haha. Pleez dont let this ruin this story for you. Haha.)
"You see, Harry, you may be the only guy in the whole world like that. I know a few guys in my neighborhood at my parents' house who all they wanted was sex. They'd have a girl over every night, different girl every night. I used to see them going into Robbie Fenwick's house. (A/N: if you've seen HBP, you probably know who Robbie Fenwick is. He bit Mr. Granger. Hehe.) You, Harry, are definitely not like that. You care about women," Hermione said propping her head up, resting it in her hand, her elbow holding herself up.
"Well, thank you, I'm flattered," he said chuckling. She joined in.
It got serious again. "Hey, Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"I really hope we find out what it is Lily's issues are. I think we should go see Remus and Tonks tomorrow. They'll know what it is, I hope."
"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Lily would like to see Teddy again, I'm sure," Hermione said smiling.
Harry chuckled and said," Let's go to sleep."
Hermione nodded and curled up against him and they both fell asleep.
H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr
The next day the family apparated to Shell Cottage in Wales to visit the Lupins. (A/N: I know Bill Weasely and Fleur Delacour own Shell Cottage, but they don't exist in this story, so the Lupins own it. Fyi, they have met Lily before I just didn't write it.) Remus and Tonks were sure surprised to see them.
"Harry! Hermione! Wow, what a surprise!" Tonks exclaimed seeing them standing there at the doorstep with Lily. She looked over her shoulder and called out, "Remus! Look who's here!"
The werewolf came walking up behind his wife, with their son in his arms. Teddy Lupin was a Metamorphmagus, just like his mother. He liked to change is hair color frequently, but it changed according to his emotions. When he was depressed, it was of course electric blue. When he was happy, is was a natural-golden color. When he was angry, it was a red color. When he saw Lily, his hair immediately turned from a calm green to his happy golden color. He had a soft spot for Lily. He didn't have any friends and neither did Lily, so they considered each other their best friends. Teddy was born about a month after Lily did, so they were very close in age.
"Wiwy!"
"Teddy!" She giggled and smiled.
"Harry, Hermione, what are you doing here?" Remus asked smiling at the two babies.
"We have some news and we wanted to talk to you about something," Hermione said smiling beautifully.
"Come in, come in," Tonks ushered them in. "We can put the children in the living room to play and we can talk in the kitchen and keep an eye on them." They all gave each other hugs and set Lily and Teddy in the living room. They were happy to be with each other and around toys to play with. They began to build with Teddy's blocks, Teddy happily sharing his toys.
Hermione smiled at them, and with her fiancee and her friends, went sit at the table in the kitchen. "Would you like some tea? I was just making some," Tonks offered.
"Sure," they said.
She poured them a cup and gave it to them.
"So, what's the news? You're not pregnant, are you?" Remus asked Hermione.
"No! Why does everyone keep thinking that?" Hermione asked chuckling.
"We're getting married," Harry said it this time. Tonks and Remus stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
"What?!"
"Are you serious?!"
"Yes!"
"Oh, my God!" Tonks rushed over to hug them. "Congratulations!"
"Yeah, we were thinking about having it at the end of next month. We were thinking about having a Soul Bond ceremony and a Muggle wedding," Hermione said.
"That's wonderful! I was wondering when you were going to pop the question, Harry!" Remus joked, making them laugh.
"We were also wondering if you two would be our best man and matron of honor?" Harry asked hopefully.
"Of course, we would be honored!"
Once things settled down, Harry looked at Hermione seriously and she nodded, realizing it was time to ask them about Lily's issue.
"Um, we are having a problem with Lily," Hermione started. "She's been having these nightmares about us being killed and her being pursued by Lucius Malfoy. Harry said he looked into her mind and saw that the nightmare was almost exactly like when his parents died. But the kicker is we don't know how she knows who Malfoy is or what he looks like. Harry searched through her memories and saw the memory of when we first found her. He said he felt an energy when Lily first laid eyes on us, like a Soul Bond, so we think that's one possibility. She must have looked through our memories or something and saw a glimpse of him and had a nightmare about him. It explains a lot, like her amazing intelligence. Another possibility is that she's a Seer and she has visions of the future. The only glitch with that one is that Harry died in the dream and we all know he can't die by the Killing Curse anymore." She sighed and added, "We figured you would know about this and help this."
Remus and Tonks looked away from them, thinking hard of what could be wrong with the child. "I think maybe it's both possibilities," Tonks said finally after a moment. "From the energy she must've felt when she saw you for the first had to have been a Soul Bond forming. She's probably so attached to you that she begins to have these nightmares of you two disappearing from her and it scares her. But I think she's too young to be looking into your memories. But she might have seen a vision from when Harry's parents died. That's how I think it's also the second possibility. She could be a Seer and be having visions of the future. But that still wouldn't make sense." She looked at Harry regarding his immunity to the Killing Curse. "Or...she might know something we don't. Like someone is after you three, which explains the Seer part and she's developing nightmares around that!" She was so excited to figure it out. "And with the Soul Bond part, she might have had a vision of Harry's parents dying." (A/N: Phew! That was hard explaining! Hope you could understand it! I'll try to remember to re-explain it at the bottom. Haha.)
Hermione looked at her happy daughter playing with the best friend in the living room. She was too young to be having to deal with this. It was like a repeat of Harry's life. She looked at Tonks. "So, my daughter's a Seer?"
"Yes, I'm entirely sure now. And she's Soul Bonded with you two," Tonks affirmed. "I know that magical energy and what it feels like." She looked at Remus and smiled tenderly as they were Soul Bonded, of course. "She, of course, is Soul Bonded in a family way, kind of like house elves in a way."
They nodded. Hermione looked back at Lily on the floor again. "She's just so innocent. She doesn't need to be seeing these things that scare the life out of her. She needs to be living her life happily and without worry. I wish I could take it all away from her and just wipe all worry off of her face and out of her life."
"Congratulations, Hermione, you're now officially a mother," Tonks said slightly smiling at her.
"What?" she asked her confused.
"Worrying is what mothers do. Do you know how worried I was when Teddy was born if he was a werewolf or not? I was terrified! But I was glad to find that he inherited my Metamorphmagus gene than Remus' werewolf gene," Tonks said rubbing her husband's shoulder.
Remus had to shrug and agree with her. "That's true." They all chuckled.
"I think Tonks is right," Harry said to Hermione. "I think Lily might know something we don't." He looked at his daughter, who looked at him with a slightly sad expression on her face, like she knew what they were talking about.
They talked for about two hours more about their lives and about the wedding. Tonks said she would be in contact with her soon to help her and Charlotte plan the wedding. The Potters picked Lily up, who was sad to leave Teddy, whose hair turn a depressed blue. The two younglings waved at each other "goodbye" and the Potters apparated home.
H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr
For the next few weeks, Hermione, Charlotte, and Tonks all planned the Soul Bond ceremony and the Muggle wedding. Not many people were going to be at the Soul Bond ceremony. Just Lily, the Lupins, and the Grangers as witnesses. At the Muggle wedding, just close family and friends were going to be there. They decided to invite Neville, Luna, Dean, Seamus, McGonagall, and Hagrid, along with all the ones who were going to be at the Soul Bond ceremony, to the wedding.
They settled on a date for the Soul Bond. It was to be on May the twenty-second, a Saturday, and the wedding to be on the next Saturday, the twenty-ninth. Hermione had went to her dress fitting. It was a beautiful dress. It was white and made of silk. It was strapless and was very simple.
"Pwetty Mummy," Lily had said smiling when she saw her mother in the dress at the fitting.
Hermione smiled. Lily was going to be the flower girl, while Teddy was the ringbearer for the wedding. Harry had tried to use Legilimency on his future bride to see what she looked like in the dress. However, she used Occulmency on him to keep him out, scolding him for trying that, yet, smiling at his attempt. He had thought about looking in Lily's mind instead because she does not know how to block him out, but he changed his mind, not wanting to use his daughter.
H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr
It finally came time for the Soul Bond ceremony. It was formal, but Hermione wore a less elegant dress than her wedding dress for the Soul Bond ceremony. It was a metallic, strapless dress that went down to her feet. Harry wore a suit, but not his tux. That was for next week. They were both excited at what was to happen that night and had arranged for Lily to go to her grandparents' house.
Since Kingsley was the Minister of Magic, he performed the ceremony.
"Do you, Harry James Potter, wish to be bonded to Hermione Jane Granger?"
"Yes," Harry replied staring into her eyes, making her smile.
"Will you share the pain she endures?"
"I will."
"Will you keep no secrets from her?"
"I will."
"Will you love her as much as she loves you?"
"I will," he said but thinking, 'I already do.'
Kingsley then turned to Hermione and asked her the same questions, to which she replied "I will" to each of them. When she was done, he grabbed each of their wands and said an incantation. There was a golden light on the wands, which connected to them and soon they were surrounded with the same golden aura. Harry and Hermione's eyes never left each other's.
"I now pronounce you Soul Bonded. You may kiss her, Harry."
Harry leant in and kissed her lips tenderly. The aura grew brighter and everyone shielded their a bit, but still clapped as well as they could.
After a few moments, the light went away and Kingsley said, "Of course you know that the ritual is not completed. It must be completed tonight as soon as you can."
They nodded and the ceremony was over.
They said "goodbye" to the Tonks and Teddy. Remus was going to stay at the Manor with them for the completion of the Soul Bond ritual so that nothing could disturb them. Because if something did disturb the completion, it would not be finished and they could both die. He was going to camp out down the hall, but the couple was going to put a silencing charm on the room. They were going to make sure that no one could apparate into the room and shut and lock the windows and make sure they couldn't be broken into. If anything should enter the room, Remus had an instrument that would glow and he would spring into action. He also had another instrument that would glow, indicating that the completion had started and would turned off when it would be completed.
Lily ran up to her parents to tell them "goodbye". She was going to miss them so much while she was away. Hermione tried not to cry. Harry could feel a bit of her sadness through the bond as it began to start.
"'Bye-bye, Mummy, bye-bye, Daddy! I wove you!" she said hugging them.
"'Bye, Lily, we love you, too." Separation was hard, but they got through it. Hermione's parents were with her and they wouldn't let anything happen to her. Plus, Kingsley had a guard over at the Grangers' house to protect them if anything should happen.
Harry and Hermione went upstairs to Harry's bedroom, the master bedroom. Well, it was now Hermione's as well. After the completion, they were going to bring all of her belongings into his room and turn her old room into a guest room.
Remus said, "Alright, I have the instrument. Once you go in, I'll activate it." They nodded and began to go in, but he stopped them. "Wait..." They looked at him, almost patiently, but not quite. "...don't forget a silence charm, please."
They chuckled and nodded. "Will do." They went into the bedroom and shut the door. Remus walked down the hall and once he got to the end, he set his blanket and pillow down for the night. The instrument right next to his head and waited to fall asleep and for the other instrument to glow, initiating the beginning of the completion of the Soul Bond.
H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr H&Hr
Inside of the bedroom, Harry whipped out his wand. He casted a double silencing charm, a anti-apparation ward, a locking charm and unbreakable charm on the windows to keep people and other things out. A last charm was set on everything in the room. The completion would release a jolt of energy that would destroy everything in the room. So, Harry put a charm on everything to make sure that didn't happen. When he was finished, he turned to Hermione and smiled. He kissed her lips hard. She kissed him back and slipped her tongue into his mouth. Before it got anywhere, Hermione remembered the lingerie she and Tonks had gotten and had put in here earlier that day. They placed a charm on it, so that Harry couldn't find it. She pulled away, disappointing him.
"I'll be right back." He nodded, knowing what she was going to do. She went to one of his drawers and took pulled out an invisible lingerie, knowing exactly where it was. She smirked and shutting the drawers, went into the bathroom. Harry looked confused, but knew what it was that she had. He smiled and began to prepare the room for their night.
Hermione shut and locked the bathroom door. Then she waved her wand over the invisible fabric, making it visible again. It was a crimson red color. She took off her dress and put on the silky lingerie. It went to about mid-thigh. If not, higher then. It barely covered anything. It almost covered the whole back where her ass met her thighs. The cups where her breasts went was made of lace and she could almost see through it. It was perfect. She hoped Harry would like it.
She decided to keep her high heels on. It made her look sexy. She took the clips and bobby pins out of her hair to release it. It fell down around her face. She played with it a little bit, giving it a teased look.
She breathed in and let it out. She unlocked the door and opened it. She gasped and smiled. Harry had put lighted candles scattered everywhere. He was standing by the last candle with his wand, lighting it. He was wearing only a pair of blue plaid pajama pants. When he lit it, he turned around and looked at her. He gazed at her lustfully and could not move. Hermione could see his excitement in the bulge in his pants. She giggled.
"What do you think?" She twirled for him, walking toward him.
"You look...sexy." She smiled and blushed.
"Are you ready for this?" she asked him as she approached him.
"Yeah." She kissed him immediately. She pushed her tongue through his mouth, dueling with his. He picked her up into his arms. Her legs going around his hips. Harry pulled back and gasped as her hot wetness against his chiseled stomach. "Oh, my God!"
She smirked again and ran her small hands all over his torso. He grabbed her ass and pushed her nightie up a little bit. She moaned at the feel of the silk sliding against her skin. He ran a finger along her ass, his goal was her wetness. She gasped loud as he reached her sweet spot. He rubbed it around making her pant. It was his turn to smirk. He stuck his finger inside of her, pulling it in and out faster and harder, giving her a preview. She longed for it to be his cock in there and not his finger. She began to move her hips in rhythm with his finger, gasping when he would hit her nub.
Then using her heels, she slowly pulled his pajama pants down. They fell to the ground. Hermione gave him a seductive smirk. He stepped out of them, removed his finger from her cave, and then moved his way to the bed. He practically threw her down onto it. She landed with a girlish grunt. She felt his excitement on her thigh and reached down to touch it. He gasped when she made contact. He was hard as a rock. She moved her hand up and down, her eyes never leaving his. He began to pant, just like how he made her pant. Sweat began to appear on his forehead and he moved his hips with her hand, making more friction.
But when he felt close, he grabbed her hand to stop. "I won't last much longer." She nodded and stopped. He grabbed her lingerie and pulled it up and over her head, revealing her naked body to him. He smiled and immediately attacked her breasts. She moaned and gasped as he flicked her nipples. She arched her back into his tongue.
"Do it, Harry! Now!" she cried out.
He moved over to her entrance and kissed her mouth to keep her mind off of the pain and pushed in. A golden aura similiar to the one at the ceremony surrounded them as they fell unconscious onto the mattress. The aura grew bigger and brighter, soon shooting off a jet of light that blew out in all directions.
TBC...
Well, I've never went from a proposal to a sex scene in 5,000 words. Haha. So the rating has gone up.
I'm kinda tired of studying. The hard tests are over. Tomorrow is the last 2 hardest: theology and algebra. Vomit!
Well, next up: the wedding. Haha.
