I hope you all like this chapter; the reason for the rating change will come later; either later this chapter or within the next few chapters and this will be my first lemon. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed the story, more recent thanks go to lollapalozzafanatic83, nikkijones95, Puck's Favourite Girl, TsukiyoTenshi. I wasn't too sure if people still read this story and I was debating on continuing; obviously I made a decision and the results of the poll helped. So without further ado….

Chapter 3

Harry stripped down and got into the shower; turning the knob on cold and stood under the spray. Rubbing his face and stretching out his shoulders; he braced himself against the wall just letting the water run over him and cool his body down along with his hormones. That woman will be the death of me, but oh what a way to go. Okay Harry get your mind of her for now…who am I kidding, she's always going to be on my mind. I wonder what was in that book though. I guess Hermione will tell me about it when I get out. Turning off the water; he stepped out of the shower, dried off, and then put on the same clothes he had on before and stepped out of the shower to see Hermione lounging on the couch. Strange she looks…different. As he got closer he saw that she too had taken a shower. A freshly showered Hermione…Calm down Harry…I really think she's trying to kill me.

"Hermione, how's the researching going?" he asked approaching the couch.

Hermione looked up at Harry. He looks so good after a shower. Hahaha, he has that glazed look in his eyes again. Poor boy, maybe I shouldn't tease him so much…nah it's too much fun.

She smiled up at him while "innocently" uncrossing her legs and stretching a bit. "Oh it's quite interesting… What's wrong Harry?" she asked seeing his eyes un-focus. Okay, maybe I should lighten up a bit. At least for now… She sat up and patted the seat next to her. "I'm not going to bite Harry… I want to show you something." He sat down next to her and she scooted closer to him so the book could rest in both of their laps. "I found this passage about the heirs and our powers. It seems that the heirs of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are bonded as are the heirs of Hufflepuff and Slytherin."

"What do you mean bonded?" Harry asked looking over the book.

"It means that we are bonded, as in married. Our powers work greatest when we are together than when we are further apart. When our bond strengthens we can feel what the other feels and if the other is in any danger we can sense it. Other powers come along with bonding but that all depends on how powerful the witch and wizard are."

"So…we're married?" asked Harry. Hermione nodded. "This is great! Did you want a ceremony though? What about your parents? We'll need rings? Who are the other heirs?" Harry asked. Hermione just kissed him.

When they pulled back she said, "Harry, stop working yourself up… We can have a ceremony later, preferably after Voldemort is not hanging over our heads. We'll find a way to tell my parents and as for the other heirs; don't worry about them now. I'd much like to celebrate the fact that we are married; wouldn't you?" Harry just nodded with a slight glazed look on his face. "Good answer," she said before dumping the book in the floor and pulling Harry with her on the couch so they were lying down.

"I'm not crushing you am I?" Harry asked her. He tried taking most of his weight off of her by bracing himself on his forearms.

"No, I quite like having you on top of me," Hermione told him with a smirk. She reached up and ran her fingers through his hair, down the back of his neck, to his back, and under his shirt.

"Hermione, you are going to be the death of me… I love you and I know you want to wait; so touching me like that is really not helping my self-control." Harry groaned.

"Harry… yes I wanted to wait; but I've realized that time is short. We are fighting a war and as much as we don't want to face this possibility we could die. I want to experience everything I can with you before it's too late. So please Harry, make me your wife in every way. Make love to me." Hermione said shyly.

"I love you Hermione. You are my best friend, wife, and the only one I have ever loved," Harry said before leaning down and kissing her. He moved from her mouth down to her neck and her shoulder. He kissed his way up to her ear and whispered, "You know what would make this better?"

"W-what?" Hermione asked breathlessly. Man, if I'm feeling like this just from his kisses…

"If we had a bed," Harry whispered before pulling back to look up. "And there it is…" He got off of Hermione who let out a whimper at the lost of contact. "Allow me Mrs. Potter," he pulled her up and carried her to the bed before setting her down.

Hermione backed up on the luscious king sized bed which was complete with a Gryffindor comforter set and a canopy. She pulled off her shirt, shimmied out of the pants, and motioned to Harry, "Come here lover boy," She smirked at how fast he scrambled out of his shirt and pants before crawling to her on the bed and when he settled on top of her again she rolled them over and straddled his hips. They both moaned at the first close contact. Hermione leaned down to kiss him. She moved from his mouth, down the front of his throat, up his jaw, and to his ear. "How does that feel Harry?"

"Oh it's brilliant," Harry said. He closed his eyes when she ran her hands up and down his chest. She scooted lower and brushed the top of his boxers and when her fingers reached under them his eyes snapped open. "Hermione… You don't have to… I don't expect…"

Hermione pulled his boxers the rest of the way off of him and put her hand on him. "Just relax Harry," she kept her hand on him but kissed her way back up to his ear. "I just wanted to feel you," she whispered. Then she began stroking him up and down, slowly. "Wow you're… big," she marveled.

"Merlin Hermione…" Oh that feels so good, but if she… "Hermione, if you keep doing that…" Harry started before grabbing her wrist, pulling her hand up, and rolling them over so he was on top of her. "…this would've been over sooner than we would have liked." Hermione just giggled. He kissed down her shoulder before he got to her bra straps and he pulled them down slowly kissing his way down her shoulder with them. She reached behind herself and unsnapped her bra so he could take it off completely. "Eager are we?" Harry asked with a smirk.

She looked at him with smoldering eyes, "Absolutely." She reached down and was about to pull down her underwear before he stopped her.

"It's only fair that I take off yours since you took off mine," He winked at her before kissing his way down. Taking his time he kissed his way to her breasts, pausing at each one he tugged lightly on her nipples with his teeth, and then he kissed his way down her stomach to the top of her lace underwear. Slipping the tips of his fingers down the top of the underwear he pulled them down her legs and kissed his way back up her legs. He made his way back up so he was resting beside Hermione but he trailed his hand down back down to between her legs. He gently traced her folds while kissing the side of her neck. "How does that feel?" Harry asked.

"Wonderful," Hermione moaned out. Merlin he knows how to use his hands.

"I'm glad," He kissed his way down back to her breast and he slowly pushed his fingers inside her. Hermione clutched at his shoulders before running her hands into his hair. His thumb found her nub and started circling it while slowly pumping his finger in and out of her.

"Oh Harry… don't stop...please don't stop," Hermione panted out. He slipped another finger inside her and began pumping faster. She felt a fire build up in her lower stomach before it built up. "Harry… about to… oh Harry… Harry!!" The pressure built up and exploded. "Merlin that felt great…but as great as that feels; I want more. So please make love to me,"

"Umm..not to break the mood, but shouldn't we do some kind of protection spell?" Harry shyly asked.

Hermione kissed him, "Yes we should. Shoot, my wand is over there," and when she motioned her hand to where her wand was it flew to her. "Okay, now it's here. I think about this later, right now…" she said the contraception spell "I just want to think about you and me,"

"Tell me if you want me to stop," Harry said. He kissed her and he guided himself to her entrance and slowly pushed in. Hermione reached behind him and pushed him the rest of the way in. She let out a gasp of pain and a tear rolled down her cheek. "I am so sorry Hermione. I'll pull out…"

"No! Just…stay still for a few seconds. It's supposed to hurt the first time," Hermione said running her fingers through his hair. "Okay, you can move now," she kissed him starting off slow but as he moved the kiss became more passionate.

"Merlin Hermione, you feel so good. So warm and tight." Harry groaned out. He stayed slow at first so she could get used to him but when she started responding and moving her hips in time with his thrust he moved faster.

"H-harry faster, harder Harry..." Hermione moaned. She wrapped her legs around him. He began sliding in and out of her faster and faster until she was moaning his name louder and louder. He felt the pressure building up in him.

"H-hermione, I'm about to… I'm gonna…" Harry groaned out.

"Me too Harry… I'm so close," Hermione got out before she arched up into him. "Harry!"

"Hermione!" Harry yelled out while they came. Afterwards they lie there just catching their breath before Harry slipped out of her. She frowned at how incomplete she felt when he was separated from her. He grabbed Hermione's wand and said a cleaning spell before crawling back into bed with her, snuggling up behind her, and pulling up the comforter over them. "I love you Hermione," he wrapped her up in his arms.

"I love you too Harry," Hermione said snuggling into him. "That was amazing Harry. We will have to talk later though; right now all I want to do is sleep with my wonderful husband."

"Anything for you my love," Harry said before kissing her and then they both fell asleep.
