It took around 15 more minutes before the van was pulling up to a stop out the front of a romantically decorated restaurant on the water's edge in New Orleans. Hermione and Godric were happily talking as their family members all barrelled from the car, not wanting to be inside of the vehicle anymore. Bill and Eric were both holding their stomachs, showing that even vampires could get the nausea from car sickness.

"Come on, they'll be waiting for us," the brunette stated cheerily, entering the building.

Inside was as well decorated as the outside, a mix between Valentine's Day and Halloween, and the roof made up of glass panes to show the past full moon up in the sky. Walking towards them was a tall, slim woman with hair like ebony, "Ms Potter, a pleasure to meet you in person."

"Madame Selene, the pleasure is all mine," Hermione gave the woman a friendly embrace, "I am so thankful to you and your staff for letting my family have our dates here."

"Nonsense, when it comes to love, there is no such thing as prejudice and closing hours. Please, everyone, come sit."

The dining room was very large, with 7 tables spread out so that it gave off the sense of being in a private setting while being close together at the same time. The waiters came out and took everyone's drink orders, and then the non-vampire's meal orders.

Looking around, Hermione had a soft smile on her face at the happiness that her family was oozing, "I just wish that the morons who write the laws would walk on in here and see this. There is only one human-human couple here, and they're gay, and yet none of us would rather be anywhere else than we are right this second."

"Actually, I think that George and Lafayette would rather be outside at this very second," Godric joked, taking his date's hands into his own, "It doesn't matter what others think Hermione, all that does is that we know, deep in our hearts, that just because mine does not beat and your does, doesn't mean we don't love each other as we do."

"I know but things must change," the witch said softly before shaking her head, "Sorry, off of that topic. What did The Authority have to say about us killing so many vampires and a monarch?"

The teenager winked, "We're fine, they had suspected Sophie-Anne of selling V to supplement her income, the Great Revelation made us all come under scrutiny by the government, income taxes that needed to be paid, and Sophie-Anne lost nearly all of her fortune to the government. I did get a mild slap on the wrist by the Magister for not allowing him to join in; he did not like her at all."

"So the family is all safe? That's wonderful," Hermione let out a sigh of relief, "George got in touch with his father, just as the goblins were informing him of Molly's death. Arthur damn near tried to pull his son through the Floo connection in joy and is sending a large bottle of Firewhiskey for Sam."

"I think he will enjoy that greatly," Godric leant over and placed a loving kiss on his date's lips, pulling back and pleased at the glazed over eyes, "My love, what have you and the goblins been doing lately?"

"We're changing…" the witch pulled her brain back together just in time, "Godric! Don't be mean, you will find out when everyone else does."

The male snapped his fingers, "Damn, so very close."

Hermione shot a glare at her love but then got into her dinner, which was just placed before her. It had been a long time since any of those present had felt uncomfortable eating while a vampire watched; there was always one around at dinner and occasionally the early breakfast. Remus and Tara were the noisiest of them all, Remus still feeling the effects of this transformation and Tara's body was getting her ready for the next full moon in a month, so they were stuffing their bodies, but it was simply amusing seeing someone as small as Tara pack away so much food.

Not very hungry, Hermione soon rose and walked over to Luna, knowing she would be the only one in any position to get everyone home, "Excuse me Eric, Luna. Here are the car keys, go back to the parking lot and activate the Portkey, I'll see you at home."

The silver-blue eyes connected with the brown-gold ones and the younger witch grinned happily, "Have fun Mione, you deserve it. I'll make sure everyone gets home safe and no one messes up your car."

"Especially George and Lafayette, two fucking horny rabbits," Eric added in.

"Thank you," the witch then raced back over to her love and grabbed his hand, dragging him with her, "Come on."

Not knowing where they were going, Godric simply allowed himself to be led away, and soon found himself in an empty alleyway. With a quirked eyebrow, he enquired, "And we are here because?"

"Because we're going home, where we will be all alone with no chance of being interrupted," Hermione swiftly wrapped her arms around her love's body, passionately kissing him as she apparated them directly into her bedroom.

When he saw where they were, and that the room had undergone a makeover, Godric placed his hands onto the witch's shoulders, "You could have at least let me carry you in."

The room was lit only with candles, some of which were floating around in the air; there were blood red silk sheets on the bed; and flowers everywhere. Hermione had spent most of her time psyching herself up to even doing such a bold move, but was grateful she had now, "Where's the fun in that?"

"Are you sure you're ready? Just because it is Valentine's Day does not mean its necessary," the teen sat onto the bed, holding his love.

"Godric, I have been with one person my entire life, and I loved him. I love you also and while I know that I don't have to, I bloody well want to," Hermione chuckled, "When I saw you earlier, I damn near called our date off and wanted to drag you up here then."

"Yes but then the entire family would have heard us," Godric gently placed a kiss on the hollow of Hermione's neck, causing her to shiver, "Tell me to stop whenever and I will."

Firmly planting her lips onto the colder ones, the witch then said, "If you don't stop talking, I will silence and restrain you."

Godric growled teasingly and flipped them so that Hermione was beneath his body. Tossing his jacket to the side, the ancient delicately kissed his love's face, moving south on her until at the diamond cut out of her dress that showed the slightest amount of cleavage. Bypassing every part of her body covered with fabric, the vampire slowly removed Hermione's high heels, and ghosted his lips up one leg and down the other.

"Mhmm"

Hearing his love groaning and feel her squirming in want, Godric fought to keep himself settled, last thing he needed was his self-enforced dry spell finishing in his trousers. He moved back up the leggy body of the witch, planting the occasional kiss on a bare part of skin. Carefully, as to not hurt her, the vampire removed the jewellery and bobby pins that were in his way, before sliding the dress that had blocked his passage up and over Hermione's body.

Hermione blushed, she knew that her body was back to the toned and slim shape it had been before falling pregnant, and that Godric had also seen her without clothes on before, but the look in his eyes was one that she had not seen in many months.

The feel of his delicate hands travelling all over her body, sensually tweaking her nipples, not even the resulting milk squirt was enough to take away the heat building between her legs. She almost shot through the roof though when Godric ran the tip of his tongue along the scar she had gotten from Dolohov those years before. It felt as though her body was melting into a soup at that one action, one that not even Harry had ever done to her.

After recovering from the feel of a tongue going down her scar, Hermione grew bolder, and flipped her love onto his back, taking control again. Godric was not used to having control taken from him, least at all in the bedroom, but when Hermione had flipped him, the only thing he did was clasp onto her hips.

The witch straddled Godric's waist and got to work removing his clothing, he was far too dressed in her opinion. With every button undone, a kiss was placed on the pale skin it hid. Practically ripping the belt from its place, Hermione gave a cheeky grin up at her intrigued love and unclasped his pants button before using her teeth to unzip them.

"Holy shit"

Hermione celebrated on the inside; second time doing it, second expletive at doing it. Removing his shoes and socks, and then following those by his pants, the brunette returned to her spot straddling the very prominent erection of her lover. Knowing it would only be a little amount of time before Godric took control back, the witch used every second she had to tease him with light kisses and the occasional nip with her teeth, hard enough to be felt but not to draw blood.

Unable to stop himself any longer, Godric got back on top of the teasing witch and removed their respective underwear. He had smelt her excitement long before seeing it, and on any other occasion he would have pleasured her at least once before even removing his clothes, but the vampire knew that he could go no longer without being inside of his love.

His entry was slow, allowing Hermione time to adjust to his size, and also give him time to calm himself, but when the witch below him practically screamed in his ear to go hard and fast, Godric needed no more encouragement. Both were very grateful that the house was empty as they felt Hermione's silencing wards shatter after only seconds of their love making session.

Despite having no sex in years, Godric was able to prolong his release long enough for his love to writhe beneath him in pleasure twice before feeling the end coming. Hermione was shuddering from two consecutive orgasms when she felt Godric getting close, and saw his extended teeth, knowing that she wanted him to mark her as his, "Bite me."

The need was too much for him, and with Hermione's words, Godric sank his teeth into her elegant neck, taking a very small amount of blood as he emptied himself into her. As soon as the teeth had touched her skin, Hermione screamed out with another earth-shattering orgasm, one that left her limp and breathing heavily.

Godric sealed the bite mark on his mate's neck, and gently rolled off of her, pulling her into his arms, "I love you Hermione."

"I love you too Godric," the witch had a large grin on her face, "Glad I waited, I think even Gran might have heard that."

"I am sure that I will only get louder from now on," at the happy but shocked look on his love's face, Godric explained, "I have not been with anyone in over 600 years now, I couldn't see the point in it anymore."

Hermione tenderly kissed the teenager as her eyes began to droop, "I'm very grateful you've seen the point in it again. Night."

"Good night Hermione," Godric settled beside her, intent on taking her to his room when it was nearing sunrise.
