Marriage Bliss?
A/N Here is the next chapter. I hope you all like it. Well on with the story.
Chapter 9
It had been three years since Harry married Severus. Three wonderful years. Severus was treating Harry better then he ever had.
True when the day came Harry was a bit scared. Scared of how Severus would treat him once they were bonded. All of his fears went back to what Malfoy had said to him just a few days before the wedding.
But now Harry knew he had nothing to worry about. Severus respected him and seems to care a bit more with each passing day.
Their honeymoon had been great. Yes it was short and they stayed in London because of the upcoming school year. But once school was over and Harry graduated from Hogwarts they had a second one that was done more right.
They traveled all over the world. They took in all the sites. Well when they weren't bed that was. They both seem to have a great time.
But Harry's last year at school was an interesting year because of all the small changes.
One of them was the apartment building. Because so many students were coming back married they had to a place for them to live while still in school.
Each apartment was small. It only had three rooms. A living room, bedroom, and a bathroom. This is where the married couples would live.
Another new building was the daycare. Yes at first many did laugh at the thought of a daycare at Hogwarts but it soon became a very used building. The first couple to use it was a Slytherin/Gryffindor couple.
There were a few new classes that all married couples had to take. One of these was a parenting class.
The parenting classes cover everything. From sex ed to pregnancy. Grant that one did differ for the men and women. It also covered delivery and the first five years in a wizarding child's life.
Then there was one for those that grew up in the muggle world. It was a class on wizarding traditions for a married couple. This way those that grew up in the muggle world would know what was expected of them.
There was also one for those that grew up in the wizarding world and married to muggle raised witch or wizard. It did the same thing for their muggle partner. It was a class on some of the muggle traditions and let the wizard or witch know what was expected of them.
For the rest of the school it was normal. There were the same rules as always. There were still the four houses. In the Great Hall still the four tables and on the playing field the four teams.
For those that married outside their own houses they could choice to sit at their own house table or that of their partner's house table.
As for the Quidditch it was simple. If a married person couldn't play then they wouldn't have any teams. Because once a student got married had to leave the team then they would ruin out of playable members to play. After all with every kid having different birthdays then someone was getting married everyday. Sometimes more then once a day.
Yes that had been a very interesting year for Harry. He was just glad that he hadn't been one that had a kid while he was still in school. That would have added extra stress that year. Something he did not need.
Now it was three years later. New Year's Eve. The end of one century and the beginning a new one.
Harry was happy that he had talked his husband into hosting a New Year's Eve party and inventing their friends and family. It was at Snape Manor.
True they normally stayed at Spinner's End but they needed a bigger place to hold the party. So that was why they were at Snape Manor.
There weren't too many guess. The Malfoys had showed up. Draco and his wife Pansy. She was about three months along with their first child.
The Weasleys were there. Ron and Hermione who was pregnant with their second child. Molly and Arthur had stayed home watching their first. How Hermione had talked Ron into coming Harry wasn't sure. Those two hardly spoke anymore.
Ginny wasn't there and Harry didn't know what happen to her. All he knew was that she was married.
Fred and George were with each other. Yep those two had hooked up together. Harry would have loved to seen Molly face when they told her they were seeing each other. That would have been priceless to seen.
There were a few other guess as well. Everyone seems to be getting along. No one was fighting, just having fun.
When there was about only thirty seconds left on the clock everyone stopped what they were doing to watch. With only ten seconds everyone started to count down.
When the clock struck midnight there was a loud cheer of "Harry New Year's!" from everyone. Then the couples all gave each other a kiss.
"Happy New Year Severus. A start of a new century." Harry said when he pulled away from the kiss.
"Yes Harry. A new century and a new chapter in our lives." Severus said with a smile.
What Harry didn't know was those words would take on a whole new meaning later on in his life.
