AN: ***sigh*** I thought I was going to have to do this, but
was avoiding it��..

I am the type of person that flips around in a book to get
an overview before I read it. The stuff that is going on now is very important,
although you won�t get it until later. For those like me, please instant
message me on yahoo. I�m teshara. I�m on constantly. I�ll give you a plot
breakdown so you�ll get it or just chat if you want :)

Thanks for the reviews!! Even the ones telling me when the
story�s lagging, I promise it will pick up.

Droxy: Hey, Girl!! Salaam alikum! Hope your trip is going
well. Yahoo chat me, if it let�s you. I like them having separate bedrooms. My
parents have separate bedrooms because my pop snores so badly. :)

Marriage Law Chapter 34

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Through the next few weeks Hermione watched the Quibbler and
the Daily Prophet like a hawk, searching for anything concer Har Harry.

The Prophet stayed amazingly silent about Harry�s
appearance, although they reran the interview the Quibbler printed after the
battle.

The day before Halloween the Quibbler claimed Harry was
ready to break into the Quidditch world, and alternately, the arts.

&np>

�I saw him myself,�
said Nora Robbins, resident of London.
�My piping lessons are in the same building. He was heavily bandaged, but I�d
recognize him anywhere!�

The offices of Victor Jacobson:
Operatic Trainer, have declined to comment. Henry Powell, the producer of the
magical opera: Ophelia�s Return, has also refused to confirm or deny Potters
participation in his newest project.

Thankfully, Halloween fell on a Saturday, giving Hermione
plenty of time to convince Severus he was going whether he liked it or not.

�No man should have to deal with two pregnant wives,� said
Pieter from behind them. He shuddered. Anna smacked his arm. �What, you want me
to take another wife?�

�Let us go,� Anna said, ignoring her husband, who looked
pleased at her annoyance. �They want us to go to the stage area.�

Hermione noticed Sophia was following Dumbledore, her arm in
his. Alexandra looked at Hermione and smiled slightly. Hermione nodded at her
and smiled back. She was tremendously relieved no one was angry at her for
telling Dumbledore he was a father.

As they approached the stage area they met up with Harry,
unmasked. Hermione and Ginny had straggled back to talk to him as he joined
their parade.

To Hermione�s surprise, Harry kissed Ginny hello on the
cheek and Ginny had flushed a deep scarlet. His robes matched hers so perfectly
Hermione could only guess it was Harry; not the twins, that had bought Ginny�s
robes.

Ginny had had feelings for Harry since she was a child and
would never care what he looked like. Harry knew Ginny well enough to
appreciate her. Ginny knew him well enough to see through whatever hare-brained
scheme he and Ron came up with next. In Hermione�s opinion, it was about time. She
imagined Molly was thrilled.

Neville was already on stage with his Gran. She was
delivering a teary speech about what an honor it was for the Longbottoms to be
recognized for their contribution in the fight against Dark Wizards. A large
picture of Alice and Frank Longbottom hovered in the background.

As the Longbottoms made their way offstage to rousing
applause, Arthur Weasley stepped into the light from the opposite side of the
stage and thanked them. Hermione saw Ron across the stage and waved. As Arthur
began speaking, Neville shook Harry�s hand and even quirked a corner of his
mouth at Severus when the Potions Master smiled at him thinly and nodded once.
His Gran was talking loudly to McGonagall about Frank and the legacy of his
line, her tears gone and her iron expression firmly back in place.

Thank God, Neville had convinced her to leave the stuffed
vulture at home.

To Hermione�s relief, she saw tables appear on the stage. As
they made their way on stage she saw the audience was seated at dinner tables
and more focused on the menus in front of them rather than the stage, although
when Dumbledore stepped out they all began applauding again.

Dumbledore gave them a small bow and took his place near
Arthur Weasley. Molly had joined them on stage and sat on Arthur�s other side.
She had given Hermione an excited small hug as Hermione sat beside her; then
beamed at Ginny and Harry sitting together. Padma Goyle didn�t look excited at
having to sit next to Harry, but at a glare from Ginny sat and made polite
conversation.

Hermione smiled in understanding and chanced a glance at
Severus. Ron was pulling out a chair beside him. They were taking their seats
and picking their menus up. Typical unromantic, unobservant males.

On Ron�s other side Hermione saw Neville pull a chair out
for Alexandra. At least someone at the table had manners.

Their meal was simple, but delicious. As dessert was served
the sky exploded with color.

�Fire dancers!� Severus exclaimed. �Excellent, Molly! Arthur
would never have thought of this.�

Molly looked shocked for a moment, but thanked him and
beamed at Hermione.

�You�re going to love this, dear,� she said, squeezing
Hermione�s arm.

Hermione watched as soft orchestra music began to fill the
festival area. As Harry passed sets of omnioculars down the length of the table
she squinted at the sky. Hermione kept passing them until she got a pair of her
own. She raised them to her face and she felt her mouth drop open.

The sparks she had seen in the sky were witches and wizards
throwing flame and performing acrobatic tricks on their brooms. She watched as
a small Asian wizard spun her broom impossibly like a top and shot
multi-colored fire out of her wand. She pulled out of it and created a hoop of
flame just as a blonde wizard swooped over her. As he flew away from her, the
hoop changed into a butterfly and flitted after him.

The small witch alternately hid from him and teased him,
making him grow frustrated in his chase. Other performers, dressed as flaming
birds that flashed different colors as different parts of the orchestra played.

Harry slipped her a note jotted on a napkin halfway through
the performance. Molly read it as Hermione opened it and burst into giggles.

Bet I�d be better at
this than opera.

Hermione giggled uncontrollably and Severus quirked an
eyebrow at her. She crumpled the note and tucked it into her robes.

***

�Probably a good idea there was no wine,� Severus said as he
and Hermione stepped through their fireplace at Hogwarts.

�Probably,� said Hermione. �Could you believe Narcissa
Malfoy was there?�

�Dressed in mourning,� said Severus, bitterly. �How clever
of her.� He walked to his drink cabinet and poured himself a generous amount of
Firewhisky.

Hermione intercepted it on the way to his mouth, and drank a
bit before she handed it back to him.

�Thank you,� she said as he drank what was left in the
glass. He frowned as he refilled it.
