Harry sat across from his best friend. Hermione had called him to her office. She had something important to tell him. He hoped it was to learn about the little girl that was inside her locket.

"I have something very important to tell you. I want to tell you about Rose." said Hermione. She took a deep breathe. "Rose was my daughter," and she explained about her little girl and how she came to be and to the point when she had died of cancer.

Harry quickly walked around the desk and pulled Hermione into her arms. She grabbed the front of his shirt and cried out her pain. He whispered words of comfort. She pulled backed and dried her face with her hands.

"It's ok Mia. I understand why you didn't tell me, but I wish you would have told me. I could have helped you." said Harry.

"I know you would have, but you had too much going on with the tourment. I couldn't put Rose on you too." said Hermione. "And there's more." Harry nodded his head. "I'm soul bound."

Harry blinded at the news. He had read up on the subject and found very interesting. He smiled at the news that his sister had found her true love. "Who is the lucky guy?"

"Please don't flip out Harry." said Hermione. He nodded. "I'm soul bound to Severus Snape."

Harry's mouth dropped at the news. He sat back and thought for a moment. He didn't need to jump to any unnecessary conclusions to hurt Hermione. He thought back to all the times that Snape had been there for her and always looking out for her and all the times she defended him over the years. He could see it. It starred him right in the face.

"Ok it's ok Mia. But if he hits you or anything else he is a dead man." said Harry seriously.

"I want to thank you Potter." said a slick voice from the darken corner. Severus stepped out into the light up to the couple. He smirked when he saw the man jump at his hidden presence. "I promise you would never strike Hermione."

Harry rose from his chair and stood in front of his Potions Master and studied him carefully and nodded his head. He held out his hand and Severus silently took it, and they shook hands making a silent truce.

Hermione walked over to the men and pulled both of them into her arms grateful that they had come to an understanding. Because the men that were in her arms meant the world to her. She didn't want to choose one over the other.

Hermione stood in front of the full length mirror gazing at herself. She had her hair down in smooth ringlets and wore a slick thin strapped black gown that stopped just above her knees. She took several deep breaths. She wanted to complete their bond. She knew that Severus was waiting until she was ready, but she was tired of waiting and she was ready to be his wife, lover and friend and all that was in between.

Hermione turned her head and saw Severus step into the bedroom. She gave him a shy smile. He swept over to his wife his black robes blowing elegantly behind him with each step. He stopped and stood behind his wife, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. She leaned back into his arms and closed her eyes. He ran his hands down her waist. He slowly lowered her black strap and kissed her bare right shoulder. He lowered her left strap and kissed her shoulder. The straps fell down her arms. She let the gown pooled at her feet.

Hermione turned around in his arms and looked up into his black eyes and stood up on her toes and kissed him gently on his lips. She pulled back and looked down at her bare feet. Severus gently placed a finger under her chin and gentle lifted her face too look at her in the eyes. He slowly lowered his face and captured her lips with his own. He kissed down her neck as he unbuttoned his robes and laid them on the chair followed by his white shirt and black pants. He stood still for his wife to look at his body.

Hermione ran her down bare muscular chest, abs and ran her fingers over his thick manhood. Severus closed his eyes and moaned slightly at her touch. Severus stepped back and swept Hermione bridal style and laid her down middle of the four post bed. He crawled onto bed and lay above his wife.

"Beautiful," whispered Severus, "beautiful," and captured her lips with his own.

He kissed his way down her body memorizing very inch of his wife, his soul bound. Hermione moaned and arched her back at the feel of his hands. She felt like her skin was on fire wanting more of his touches. He kissed his way down between her legs and kissed her inner thigh.

Hermione tugged on his jet baby fine hair and arched up when she felt his tongue on her womanhood followed by finger working her tight muscles. He kissed his way back up to her lips. He rolled over onto his back and she straddled his lap, and kissed his lips down his body and looked up and captured his lips with his own. He rolled her back over onto the mattress.

Severus slowly entered her womanhood and stopped and she nodded her head, and he slid deep inside her womanhood their eyes never breaking each other. He kissed away her tears that fell down her angelic face.

Hermione slowly wrapped her legs around his waist. He slowly shifted his hips and moaned slightly at the feel at her tight muscles. She lifted her hips, after a few tumbles they found a good loving pace their eyes never leaving each others.

Severus held Hermione close their bodies shook with passion. She arched her back and moaned his name at the height of her climax soon followed by her husband. He kissed her gently and slowly pulled out of her body and laid down on the mattress pulling her into his arms.

Hermione laid her head down on her husband's chest listening to his heart beat hard against his chest. Severus gently ran his finger tips up down her spine. He looked down and watched her slowly fall into a loving peaceful sleep. He sighed and held her close and soon followed her into a peaceful sleep.

Severus and Hermione walked into the Great Hall their heads close together talking quietly her white coat swaying behind her and his black robes blew behind him elegantly behind him. The Slytherins watched the couple carefully. They could tell something had changed between the doctor and the Potions Master, but they knew not to interfere with their Head of House's private life.

Harry followed his best friend's movements as she sat down at the table next to her husband. He let a small smile cross his face. He knew that Hermione was happy and that the dark wizard was slowly healing her broken heart. He knew it would be a long road ahead of him and his fellow students but his best friend was happy. And that's all that mattered to him.

Harry walked around the dark corridors hidden under his invisibility cloak unable to sleep. He had seen Draco Malfoy tortured due to his failure of a mission. He found himself roaming the halls like after every nightmare.

He stopped when he saw the front doors open and Malfoy fall to the floor. He had short blonde hair that was out of its normal well kept state. His fare face held scares and blood that ran down his face. Harry saw his legs twitch painfully. Draco slowly stood onto his feet only to fall down onto his knees.

"Come on Malfoy I'll help you to the Hospital Wing," whispered Harry after he had removed his cloak.

"I don't need your help Potter." hissed Draco, and doubled over in pain and wrapped his arm around stomach and saw his hand covered in blood and hit the floor.

"Yes you do Malfoy." said Harry sternly but gently. "I know you're a spy for Dumbledore. I over heard it by accident."

Draco only nodded his head, and Harry threw the cloak over both of them and made their way to the hospital wing. Harry noticed that the wound on Malfoy right side was extremely deep. He removed his shirt and stood in front of his childhood enemy.

"Here be still. You're loosing too much blood." said Harry and tied his shirt around the blonde's waist tightly causing Draco to groan out in pain. "Now you can make it."

"Thanks Potter." said Draco and they made their way down the many corridors.

Harry eased Draco down on the closet bed to the nurse's office and ran to get the doctor. Hermione quickly left her office and entered the wing with her black bag.

"Harry where's your shirt?" asked Hermione. She turned to Draco and saw her best friend's blood stained shirt. "That was smart thinking Harry. You can stay here and help me or you can go back to the Gryffindor Tower.

"I'll help." said Harry and walked over to the bed and removed Draco's bloody robes while Hermione set up her medical supplies.

"What happened at the meeting, Draco?" asked Hermione gently as she cleaned off his waist from blood and carefully healed it.

"I failed in a mission." he whispered, "and this was the result. I failed in getting information about Potter."

Harry looked down at Malfoy with sad eyes. He hated being the one person that always caused pain to so many. He only wanted to live his life free from the dark wizard and finish school.

The hospital wing doors opened revealing Luicus Malfoy. He walked over to his son followed by Draco's godfather, Severus. Hermione removed the blood from her hands once she finished stitching up his right side.

"Everything is just fine Mr. Malfoy. Draco had a deep slash on his right side. He would have lost a lot more blood if it wasn't for Harry's fast thinking about tying his shirt around his waist stopping the bleeding. Harry in fact saved Draco's life."

Luicus looked over at Harry and held out his hand to the man. "I want to thank you Mr. Potter."

Harry took the blonde's hand and shook it. "It was nothing. I was at the right moment at the right time is all."

"Well thank you all the same." said Luicus and walked over to his son and sat down next to his son's bed in a nearby chair.

Severus swept over to his wife and pulled her over to the side of the wing. He closed the curtain behind him. "Are you all right?"

She gave him a puzzled look. "Why wouldn't I be all right Severus? I'm just doing my job."

He kissed her brow and opened the curtain revealing Luicus and Harry talking to one and other as Draco slept. They were pleased to see that the two men were getting along. The couple soon realized that Harry cared deeply about the blonde that slept in the bed nearby.
