Hey, sorry for the long delay. Haha. I've been gathering my thoughts on this.

Omg, I'm so stupid. I accidentally deleted my draft for the new chapter for Bound. Shit! So I need to rewrite it. Haha.

Anyway, after a long pause:

Here's ch. 7.

Chapter Seven

Wedding

Remus woke up on the third day and smiled. Today was the day they were to wake up from their prolonged slumber. He stood up and went to their bedroom door. He opened it cautiously, afraid of what he was going to see. He sighed with relief when he saw they were covered up with the bedclothes. He noticed a golden dome-like aura around the two. He figured if he touched it, there would be consequences.

Suddenly, without warning, the aura shrunk and disappeared, leaving the two teens to slowly open their eyes and smile at each other's faces. They began to kiss and before anything got heated, Remus cleared his throat. They looked up at him and blushed.

"Remus!" Harry exclaimed.

"Um, sh-shower and get dressed," he smiled and left awkwardly.

The two teens kissed each other quickly and got out of the bed, Harry pulling out of her. They both went into the bathroom and showered together "to save time". Although, they were spending a little too much time in the shower. When they finally got clean, they got out. Harry put on a pair of boxers and jeans with a simple white t-shirt. Hermione put on a pair of her knickers and jeans, with a white blouse. They matched. She tapped her hair with her wand and it dried quickly. She did the same to Harry's.

"Do you...feel different?" he asked her.

She paused to feel if she did. She flexed her arms and hands, feeling something in her veins. "I feel...more powerful."

Harry smiled. "Me, too. We share magic and power now."

She returned his smile and kissed his lips. Grabbing his hand, she led him out of the room and into the hallway, where Remus was waitng. "How do you feel?" he asked them.

"Wonderful," Harry replied with a grin as big as day.

Remus cringed a bit. "I meant with the magic sharing?"

"Oh, yeah, I feel more powerful. I can also feel emotions waving off of her," Harry told him.

"Same with me. I feel like if I look at something, it will catch on fire," Hermione agreed.

"Don't," Harry told her jokingly. They laughed.

"Where's my daughter?" Hermione asked Remus. "She's still with my parents? I want to see her."

The werewolf nodded and said, "She's missed you. Both of you. Your mother called yesterday asking if you two had woken up yet. She said that Lily was not really having fun over there. She's been missing you two like crazy."

"Well, come on, we'll surprise her," Harry said pulling her close to apparate to Hermione's parents' house. Before they left, Remus said he had needed to go to his home and see his wife and son. They nodded and Harry disapparated. They landed in the living room of the home. It was still early and they thought it was too early for anyone to be awake. But, Charlotte and Jacob Granger came running out of the kitchen. "Wha-?" She smiled when she saw her daughter and her almost son-in-law. "Hermione! Harry! You're awake!" She ran to hug them, pulling them close. Jacob hugged his daughter when she let her mother go; and then, shook Harry's hand.

"Oh, you look radiant!" Charlotte gushed to her daughter, making her blush. Harry could feel her embarrassment through the Bond. "Thanks, Mum," she said uncertainly. "Where's Lily?" she asked looking around for her daughter.

"Oh, the little dear's still sleeping. She's missed you two so much."

Hermione checked the time and said, "It's time for her to wake up. I want to see her. Come on, Harry." She pulled her fiancee along and they climbed the stairs to the guest room, where Lily was staying.

She silently opened the door. They smiled at her sleeping form. Little Lily was curled into a ball, holding on tight to her teddy bear. Hermione walked over to the bed and sat at the edge. She looked at her daughter for a moment before she tucked a brown curl behind the little girl's ear. Lily stirred, but did not wake. She leant over and kissed her forehead tenderly. "Lily...wake up. It's Mummy and Daddy. We're here to get you. Wake up, angel."

Lily slowly opened her eyes and looked at her mother curiously, trying to register who she was. When it clicked, she gasped and threw her arms around her neck. "Mummy!" She saw her Daddy. "Daddy!"

Harry smiled and kissed her forehead, like Hermione had done. "Hey, princess, missed us?" She nodded vigorously and refused to leave her mother's arms, unless it was to go into Harry's.

"Come, let's eat breakfast," Charlotte suggested and the family left the room and went downstairs to the kitchen. Harry, who was holding her at the time, set his daughter in her booster seat at the table. It was chocolate-chip pancakes for breakfast this morning. Jacob had just finished them when the couple had popped in.

"Did you have fun at Grammy and Poppy's while we were gone?" Hermione asked Lily.

Lily nodded and smiled, but they could tell it didn't reach her eyes. She had wanted her parents, even though she loved her grandparents. "Don't weave me again," she whimpered, breaking their hearts.

Harry looked at Hermione, who turned to look at him as well. They knew they couldn't keep that promise as they were to go on their honeymoon the next week. "We'll try not to," Harry replied to relieve her. She nodded, understandingly. She grinned when a plate of pancakes was set in front of her. She was given a baby fork and Hermione cut her pancakes into small pieces for her. She dug in happily. "Dank you, Mummy!"

"Are you two hungry?" Charlotte asked.

"Oh, yes!" they chanted and they all laughed. Charlotte put a plate of pancakes in front of each of them and they dug in gratefully.

They had a lovely breakfast and talk with the Grangers. They went upstairs to Lily's guest room to pack up some of her things to take home. Not all of it, of course, since she was to come back in less than a week while her parents went on their honeymoon.

Hermione told her mother that she was going to be in contact with her very soon for last minute wedding details. They Floo home to get Lily settled back home. She immediately ran to her room to put her teddy bear on her bed. After hugging it, she set it in front of her made-up pillows. Then, she ran to the living room to see her parents again. She couldn't get enough of them. They were sitting on the couch, staring at each other and holding hands. She smiled and they noticed her.

"Come here!" Hermione called her over. Lily ran to her mother's arms. "Mummy, when are you and Daddy getting mawwied?" she asked.

Hermione smiled. "Next week, angel. Then, you are to go to Grammy and Poppy's for a few more days and then when Daddy and I get back, you're ours forever."

Lily grinned. She'll be theirs forever.

The next day, Hermione and Lily Flooed over to her parents' house to converse with Charlotte last-minute details. Jacob took Harry out for the day. They had said something about a football game. The next night was to be the eve of the wedding and Harry was to stay with the Grangers that night as it was easier for Hermione to get up and get ready at the Manor since the wedding was going to be there.

Two days later, Hermione was woken up by the sun in her face. She smiled. It was the morning of her wedding day. A cry came from the baby monitor, signaling that Lily was awake. "Mummy!" she called through the monitor. Hermione smiled and rolled out of bed.

She went into the nursery and took her daughter out of her crib and changed her diaper. "Come on, Lily, Mummy's got to get married today," she said as they made their way to the kitchen for breakfast.

Hermione had made blueberry waffles for Lily and herself that morning. They were plain, no syrup, no butter, no whipped cream. Plain, just the way she liked it.

After breakfast, Charlotte arrived. She found them in Lily's nursery, playing. When Hermione saw her mother, she stood and said, "Oh good, Mum, you're here. Can you watch Lily while I take a shower?"

Charlotte nodded. "Of course, dear." Hermione hugged her mother tightly. She couldn't believe this day had come. She was getting married. To her best friend! And she couldn't be more happier.

Hermione turned to her daughter. "Lily, Mummy's going to be right back, okay? Play here with Grammy."

Lily nodded and watched her mother leave her room.

After her shower, Luna Lovegood, her friend from Hogwarts, showed up, along with Tonks. "Luna!" She hugged her friend tightly, having not seen her since they graduated. Luna, too, had just graduated as she was a year younger than her. She was in a serious relationship with Neville Longbottom, who graduated with Harry and Hermione.

"How have you been, Luna?!" she asked a Tonks helped her with her make-up. A few people started showing up, but they weren't guests, they were there to set up the wedding outside. Charlotte directed them to where they were to go.

"I've been doing good. Neville and I have a house together now," the blonde said.

"Really?! That's great!" She couldn't say anymore as they heard, "Mummy! Mummy!" Lily came running in to Hermione almost running into Tonks and messing up her make-up. "Oh, sowwy, Mummy."

"That's okay, sweetie," she smiled. "What's wrong?"

"Grammy tole me to tell you dat dey are bwinging da chairs outside for da wedding," she informed.

"Oh, good, progress is being made," she said. "Go help Grammy, okay?"

Luna stared at the young girl as she ran off to her Grammy as she was instructed. She had green eyes like Harry's and Hermione's brown hair. "Hermione, you have a daughter?"

"Yeah," she replied. "Her name is Lily."

"She looks so much like you and Harry. When did you have her? I don't remember you being pregnant at Hogwarts."

"OH!" Hermione realized that Luna didn't know. "She's not ours. We adopted her. We found her in an alley almost frozen to death. Her parents just left her there. Isn't that cruel?" she asked.

Luna widened her eyes. "That's horrible!"

"Yeah, but we found her and been raising her as our own. She's very precious and very advanced for her age. Mum says it's amazing that she is not really ours, biologically speaking, because she's so much like us."

"I bet."

Soon enough, Hermione had gotten her make-up done and her hair. Now for the dress. It was still a perfect fit. Through the Bond, she could feel Harry being very nervous. So she tried sending him a confident feeling. Lily put on her little white dress and her cute head wreath. A basket full of flower petals was given to her. They had coached her many times on what to do. Remus had sent Teddy over, who was excited to see Lily. They were to walk together down the aisle.

When noon came, everyone went downstairs to the backyard. Jacob was there to walk his daughter down the aisle. Pachelbel's Canon in D Major began to play and Lily and Teddy went first. Then Tonks and Remus. Then everyone stood as "Here Comes the Bride" started to play and Jacob and Hermione walked down the aisle. Harry breath caught in his throat as he saw her. "Breathe, Harry," Remus had to remind him. Harry sucked in an air of breath as she got to him and the priest.

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her throughout the whole thing. At one point, he mouthed, "You're beautiful," to her. She blushed and mouthed back, "Thanks, you look amazing, too."

"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said and Harry didn't hesitate.

Everyone stood and clapped.

At the reception, everyone had a great time. Harry and Hermione danced. Jacob and Hermione had their father-daughter dance. Harry felt a little put-out since he didn't have a mother to dance with him for the mother-son dance, Charlotte offered to dance with him. Hermione had tears in her eyes the whole time. What really sent tears to everyone's eyes was when Harry took Lily out to dance for the father-daughter dance. He picked her up into his arms and she giggled as they danced. Then Lily dragged Teddy out to dance in one of the slow songs. His hair turned red with embarrassment, but he never pulled away.

For the bouquet toss, Luna was the one who caught it and looked over at Neville, who loosened his tie. But later on, he caught the garter.

At the end of the night, it was time for everyone to go home and for the newlyweds to go to France for their honeymoon. They said "goodbye" to their daughter one last time for a while. "You be good for Grammy and Poppy, okay? Mummy and Daddy will be back soon enough."

"Pwomise?" she asked cutely.

"We promise, princess," Harry said getting a sense of deja vu.

Lily waited for them to come home everyday. She tried to have fun with her grandparents. They would do all of the normal things her parents would do, like read her stories at night, tickle her, and kiss all of her animals goodnight; and she loved it. But it wasn't the same.

She would stay in her room and look at her picture books, trying to read them. Obviously getting nowhere. It did help, however, that her parents called every night to wish her goodnight and tell them that they loved her. That was the highlight of her days. It was what she looked forward to every night.

Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione were having the time of their lives at the French Riviera in France. They would lounge by the water, occasionally going for a swim. They would have make-out sessions in which would sometimes get a little heated and they would have to hurry back to their hotel room to relieve themselves.

They worshipped each other's bodies. Being together for the first time since they had Soul Bonded. Some days were lazy and they would just stay in their room and order in room service and occasionally pay for a movie on the television. Once the movie was over, they would get engaged in another love act and then fall asleep together. When they woke up, they would eat their food, building up more energy and stamina; and then it would go back to another romp.

After their week in France, they got on a plane and headed home. Waiting for them at the airport to pick them up was Jacob, Charlotte, and Lily. "Mummy! Daddy!" she shouted and was lowered to the ground by Charlotte. She ran to her mother and father. Hermione was the one who scooped her up. "Oh, I've missed you so much, little girl!"

"Hey, princess!" Harry said taking her into his arms. "Daddy!" He twirled her around, making her laugh.

Charlotte and Jacob came up to them and hugged them. "Mum! Dad! Has she been good?"

"Oh, no, she was the worst! Horrible! Destroyed everything in the house! Was not polite! Tossed all of her books into the fire!" Charlotte replied playfully.

Hermione gasped at everyone of those and looked at Lily with a mock-surprised face. "Lily!"

"No I didn't, Mummy!" she giggled knowing it was a joke.

"Lily, you threw all of your books into the fire?!" Harry asked with the same look his wife and mother-in-law had on. "Mummy's gonna be furious!"

"No, I didn't Daddy!" she repeated.

They got their luggage and went home. Before they left, neither Granger nor Potter noticed the dark figure in the corner staring at them as they left.

TBC...

Yes, I know. VERY short, but hey, its an update.

Anyway, that was rly tricky to get out of me. Next chapter is going 2 show just exactly WHO is going after Lily.

I hope you liked this chapter.

See you on the next page, which I will be getting started on soon.

This has nothing to do with anything. I am just trying to get to 3,000 words to make it seem longer. I am probably the only loser that does this. Haha. I only needed 3 more words. Haha.

Pleez review!
