Chapter 1

Hermione was lay in the meadow gazing up at the clear blue sky, with the sun beaming down on her face. She rolled over onto her stomach and locked eyes with Severus Snape.

"This has been a wonderful day. I have really enjoyed myself!"

"It has been lovely hasn't it. We should do this again. Just come here, have a picnic and talk. I like it here, it's very peaceful. I am comfortable in these surroundings, thanks to you." He smiled at her "We better pack up and get going. I said to Lupin we would be back at the Order headquarters at seven. Tonks wants to talk to you about your bridesmaid dresses for Harry and Ginny's wedding."

Hermione stood up and started to put the leftover picnic food back into the basket. She bent down and folded the rug she had been laying on and noticed an odd look on Snape's face. She looked in puzzlement at him and smiled. Snape snapped out of his trance and noticed Hermione smiling at him.

"Were you staring at me Professor Snape?" enquired Hermione with a sly grin on her face.

"Well maybe I was Miss Granger. I was admiring that lovely body of yours." Smirked Snape.

Hermione had developed feelings for Snape throughout her years at Hogwarts. But it was only in the last few months as she grew close to him as a friend that she understood the real Snape and fell in love with him. She believed he felt the same way about her but had never enquired.

"Hermione, if I asked you something please don't laugh at me" she nodded, he carried on "Hermione I erm.. well I was just wondering if…. Well erm…"

"Yes, Severus. I do like you."

He smiled and stood up. He took hold of her hands and pulled her close. He looked into her eyes and then kissed her. Kissed her deeper and more passionately then anyone else had. She felt a rather strange feeling in her stomach and decided it was to do with Snape and the way he made he feel. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer and deeper into the kiss. She felt her self pushing him down onto the floor. They ended up laying together with Hermione on top. She pulled away and looked into Snape's eyes. She started to undo his muggle shirt revealing a toned and muscled body. She pulled it of him and then started to work on the buckle on his belt.

Taking her cue, he undid the zip on the side of her dress and pulled it over her head. He then riggled out of his trousers as hermione moved of his leg to remove her underwear. She sat back on top of him and felt his hard penis against her. He gazed at this almost perfect body and pulled her in for a kiss. He rolled her over and moved around till her was lay with her legs either side of him. He looked at Hermione and as if she had given him a mental signall he entered her.

He saw pain sweep across her face and tears start to glisten in her eyes. He started to rock her gentally hoping he wouldn't cause her any more pain.

He kissed her softly all over her neck. When he loked at her face he saw the light tears trickling down the side of her face into the meadow grass below. He was about to pull away when she grabbed hole of his arms.

"Don't stop please. It is only very slight, it is worth it."

Reluctantly he agreed and carried on rocking her gently up and down in time with his body. They rocked together in harmony until both were satisfied. Severus rolled of Hermione who lent over and kissed him. He put his arm round her neck and pulled her close into a hug. They lay like this as the sun set and the moon appeared in the sky.

"We better be going otherwise you will be late." Urged Snape

"Oh yes, Lupin does keep me on a tight leash. He only cares for me. Im just glad I am not on my own after my parents, well you know.."

"I do."

He held her hand and they apparated back into the lounge at the Headquarters.

Tonks and Lupin were sat in the lounge when a loud crack noise sounded. Hermione and Snape walked over to them. Snape sat down and Hermione tried but winced at the pain. Tonks and Lupin just stared at her. Snape went to help her but realised what he was doing before it was too late.

"Are you ok Hermione" enquired Lupin.

"I'm fine. I just fell and bruised my bum. I am going to go and run a bath and then have an early night. Thank you for a wonderful day Severus!"

With hat she turned around and walked gingerly out of the room. Tonks and Lupin jus looked at each other and then shrugged.

"I will be going now too. Lots of new term plans to make"

With a loud crack he apparated out of there and back to his home. Leaving Tonks and Lupin totally confused, then they began to realise. Tonks could see the look on Lupin's face as he turned a bright shade of red.

"I'll swing for him if he has touched her" shouted Lupin

"Calm down darling" replied Tonks "I'm sure its not what your thinking. I will talk to Heremione tomorrow. But for now let's just go to bed."

Tonks grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him up the stairs. Turning all the lights out magically as she went along.
