A/N: Okay, so I have written a second chapter. I'm not completely happy with it, but I have worked on it for quite some time, so I needed to put it up.

I'd like to continue with this story, but I am not completely sure whether I should or not. So please leave me a review, so I can make up my mind.

Disclaimer: I own nothing (wish I did)!


Waking up the next morning Ginny panicked for a split second feeling strong arms around her, someone lying behind her and soft silky sheet that definitely didn't belong to her bed. Opening one eye she could see the dark green sheets covering her, as well as the familiar surroundings of her lovers bedroom. She turned her head a little wanting to see the man behind her but instead her gaze fell onto the fake window. Since the dungeons had no real windows the fake ones were used to at least signal the change between day and night.

Ginny started to panic. The window showed a bright day, which meant that they had slept right through the rest of the night.

She had never stayed the whole night before. He had never allowed it and she didn't want to explain to her dorm where exactly she had spent the night. She groaned loudly and turned around to face her lover.

"Severus, wake up." She whispered, reaching out her hand to push a few strands of hair out of his face. He only gave a low growl before pushing his hand into her palm.

"Severus it's morning or midday. No matter what, it is bright outside." Another low growl escaped him while rolling onto his back, his eyes still tightly shut.

Ginny couldn't understand his indifference to breaking their own rules. She sat up, pulled her legs underneath herself and turned towards him. Reaching out to him she grasped his shoulders and shook him.

"Damn it Severus, it is bright outside and I am still in your bloody bedroom. At least wake up and help me get out of here without being seen."

Severus opened his eyes, apparently not bothered by the bright light. He reached out to Ginny's hands that were still holding onto his shoulders trying to pull her on top of him. Stubborn as she was she didn't move an inch.

"Severus, I really need to go!" she said once more

"Why do you need to leave angel? Another lover to tend to?" He smirked.

Ginny sat up even straighter, pulling her hands away from him and glared down at him.

"How can you even say something like that to me? After bloody scaring me to death with being gone last night and then saying you forgot about me coming here. I can't know exactly where you were last night. For all I know you could have been gone to screw McGonagall or one of your Death eater sluts." The second after the words had left her mouth she knew that she had crossed a line.

Severus had quirked up an eyebrow and looked at her with a mix of fury, shock and hurt in his eyes. Trying to divert his attention from her words she held onto the silken covers and jumped out of bed. After pulling it tightly around her tiny frame she put her hands on her hips in a very Molly-like pose and glared at him.

"You should know best why I have to go. We said that I would never stay the whole night. You told me that you didn't want to risk that certain people find out about us. You said that it would be too dangerous. You said that I couldn't risk that someone sees that I spent the night somewhere else. You were the one setting those rules and I agreed to them although that would mean that I could never lie in bed with you for a whole night, wake up with your arms around me in the morning. I am giving up so much. All I want is a normal date, but all I can have are bloody midnight booty calls and stupid detention meetings. I am so sick of having to hide all the time."

Ginny knew that she had talked herself into a full on rage, but everything that had boiled up during their time together had to be said at one point. She looked down at the man she loved tears pricking her eyes. Her rant had released so many emotions at once that she couldn't get control over them again. Despite her quivering lips, that were trying to hold back the sobs she whispered:

"If something were to happen to you, I couldn't even find you. I would never know what happened to you because I couldn't ask anyone for they would be thinking I had gone mental asking for you." After she had spoken her last thoughts the tears in her eyes spilled over and ran freely down her cheeks.

All throughout her little speech Severus had been lying there, smirking, watching her finally vent some of the emotions she had kept tightly shut away. But the minute the tears were falling from her eyes he sat up and moved towards the edge of the bed and towards her tiny shaking body. Sitting on the edge of the bed he reached a hand out to her, which she took willingly this time and puller her into his lap.

She curled up on top of him; her head buried against his neck and still sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. He simply put his arms around her and whispered soothing words into her ear, trying to calm her down. Nobody would believe that he had this soft, gentle side, since he always showed a strong, never faltering, cold mask to everyone. He had learned the hard way that sometimes it's easier to be feared than loved. At least this way most people kept their distance. But somehow the young girl in his arms had knocked down all the walls that he had built around his heart and made herself ever-present in there.

It took Ginny another ten minutes to calm down enough to stop shaking and pulled herself slightly away from him. She knew that her eyes would be red and her face slightly blotchy where the tears had stained it. Lifting her head she looked Severus straight in the eyes trying to figure out what he was thinking. When he neither said anything nor moved she slowly dropped her head trying to find the courage to speak.

"I'm sorry!" she croaked, her voice raspy from crying. "Sorry, for exploding. I didn't really mean to. I just –" she couldn't finish because Severus pressed her lips softly to hers. After pulling away he tipped her head up to get her to look up at him.

"Don't be sorry for speaking your mind angel. Don't ever be. I couldn't be with somebody who never expresses her own opinions and feelings. You need to talk about those things or they'll eat you up. Trust me I should know." She looked at him with a softer expression. Taking one corner of the cover wrapped around her she used it to wipe her face. "I must look really hideous. Bed hair is one thing but I bet my eyes are all puffy and red..."

Severus took her face into his hands and looked into her eyes. "Gin, you look as pretty as always. But your hair is standing up into every direction..." Her eyes grew wide and she hastily tried to smother her hair down with her hands, but Severus caught her hands and held them tight against his naked chest.

"Angel, stop. You look beautiful; a little bed hair doesn't change that." With a smirk he added: "As long as it is my bed that messes with your hair everything is fine." Her lips twitched a little bit as he tried to make a joke about the same topic she had exploded about just minutes ago.

"Severus, didn't my little outburst teach you anything? You don't want to mess with me right now. This super emotional state tends to temper with my rational thinking." She said jokingly.

Severus held up his hands in a mock sign of defeat. "No of course I wouldn't want to provoke you. Although I normally quite enjoy your fierce temper especially between the sheets."

With these words he let himself fall back and in this process pulled her completely on top of him. One hand on the small of her back he tried to crush her even closer, while the other hand caressed her side. Smiling down at him she relaxed against him and simply enjoyed the feeling of his body pressed to hers. "So, that's why you didn't want me to leave you all by yourself." With a smirk she added: "You know you could have saved yourself all this trouble by simply saying so."

For a split second she felt him tense beneath her and wondered what she had said, that made him tense. But he had caught himself and continued caressing her back in slow circles.

"Gin... If I could I would want to have you around all the time, but since I can't I want to make the most of the little time we have together. I don't want you to think that this..." he gestured between the two of them "is all about sex. It is far more than that. To be true this thing with us is the one thing that keeps me sane and gives me a reason to always want to come back here. I'm sorry for messing up our time earlier with my little comment. I mean... oh damn, why is this so hard to say? What I want to say is... If you want to see other people I could understand that. I mean I wouldn't be too happy about it, but if that is what you want than I have to live with that. I don't really like the idea of sharing you, but as long as I can have a part of you I am the happiest man alive. You are the only one I want so stop worrying about me going after McGonagall, after all I don't think she's a big fan of me right now..." He stopped talking and shyly looked at her again, not sure about her opinion on things.

When all she did was look at him, her face empty of all emotions, he regretted having voiced his innermost feelings to her so openly. Although they had somehow ended up saying "I love you" they had never really talked about the seriousness of their relationship. He knew that Ginny was the one and if he could he would marry her and spend the rest of his life with her, even though that might not be such a long time. She had made him feel again and this is what life was supposed to be like. Finding someone to love and live happily ever after.

It had nearly been five minutes and Ginny still hadn't said anything. Her mind was racing. Severus had never said something so romantic and yet a little bit unromantic at the same time. Declaring his love for her and at the same time telling her that he could live with her seeing other people wasn't really the way someone says that they care about you. Of course she knew that he wasn't good with the whole emotional stuff so they normally didn't talk about it that much. Between the lines of what he had said, she had heard the truth in his feelings for her. He wanted to be with her and though he was everything she wanted it too, it would be hard. Even if they hadn't been in the middle of a bloody war in which he was a double agent believed to be working for the Dark Side, she doubted that her parents would approve of a man twice her age. On top of that he was still her teacher and his reputation with terrifying students was well known. But all of this didn't really matter at the moment because she loved him and he loved her back.

Ginny braced herself on the bed, hands next to Severus' head and pushed herself into a sitting position so that she was straddling him now. She looked at him fondly and caressed his cheek softly with one hand.

"Severus, I am in love with you. You won't get rid of me that easy. Face it, if it were up to me I would never leave this bed ever again. There is no one else. No one else I care about as much as I do about you. No one could take your place and that won't change." While she had spoken those last words she had placed her hands on her hips once more, one of the mannerisms she had picked up from her mother.

Severus smiled up at her, his lip quivering, trying to downplay the fact that he was close to laughing at the sight of her. There she was wrapped in his covers sitting on top of him saying these things almost stubbornly and on top of that she had to pull a Molly Weasley. The more he tried the harder it became to stop the laughter. When Ginny looked sternly down at him he couldn't contain it any longer and burst into laughter.

Ginny looked at him dumbfounded. Why was he laughing? She just spoke about her true feelings and now he was laughing without hesitation. When Severus continued laughing she realised that this was the first time since they had know each other better that he was laughing. She never would have imagined that Severus Snape, who tended to be rather controlled on his emotions, had the ability to laugh out loud like that. His laughter was like a deep rumbling in his throat mixed with his baritone voice it washed over her and surrounded her. She felt like she was able to see the carefree man he could be without all the dread and danger of the war hanging over him, for a second.

Everyone was so contained at the moment that moments filled with real laughter were very scarce. She enjoyed seeing him like that.

When it seemed like he had calmed down slightly she leaned forward and pressed her soft lips to his. The soft kiss turned into a longing, passionate one in a matter of seconds. Revelling in the feeling of Severus' hands on her now bare back Ginny tried to press herself even closer to him. She could feel him hardening under her and shifted a little bit to get some friction.

A low growl slipped out of her lover's mouth at her actions. Catching onto what she was doing he grabbed the blanket she had used to cover herself and pulled it away from her body and threw it onto the floor. This left her completely naked while he was still wearing pyjama pants.

Slowly he pushed himself up into a sitting position, holding on tight to Ginny's hips and ground her against him. This time she was the one to moan loudly against his lips. Pulling away from her lips he placed butterfly kisses down her neck and over her collarbone. Her hands travelled over his naked back, up to his neck where they played with his soft hair, pulling a little bit which elicited the most delicious sound from Severus' throat. One of his hands moved over her flat stomach and up to cup one of her breasts.

Ginny started circling her hips and grinding into him in earnest. She could feel Severus getting impossibly harder under her while he started nibbling on her nipple.

"Severus, I need... I- uhh don't stop. I need you now." She moaned under his kisses, bites and touches.

"Eager are we, Gin?" he smirked at her. But when a low moan escaped her lips he couldn't find it in himself to slowly torture her. He needed to have her. Now.

Slowly pushing up, he turned her around so that she was lying on her back on his bed, while her legs were still wrapped around his hips and he was hovering over her. Taking her face between his hands he kissed her passionately and fierce.

Her hands frantically dipped under the elastic band of his pants and tucked them over his arse until they were pooled around his ankles. Ginny locked her ankles behind his butt to press him tightly against her.

"Severus, please..."

For a split second Severus pulled away from her and guided himself to her entrance. With one last look into her eyes he pushed in completely. Ginny gasped and bucked her hips against him, revelling in the feeling of having him inside her. She moaned into Severus' mouth when he started pounding into her, hitting that special spot inside her repeatedly.

When one of his hands dipped between the two bodies and found her clit she almost screamed his name. "Oh, please don't stop... I am so close... "

He smiled down at her and continued pounding into her while his fingers massaged her little knob. Within seconds she was writhing beneath him and fell over the edge screaming his name.

The way her walls clenched around him it only took three more strokes to follow suit. He collapsed on top of her to catch his breath.

Almost ten minutes later both of them had regained their breath and Ginny was lying with her head on top of Severus' chest while he was absentmindedly stroking her hair.

Thinking about the way they had gotten into this situation yet again, he chuckled silently, but the movement of his chest gave him away. Ginny turned in his arms to look at him.

"What is so funny?"

"Oh, just the way we got here. Like you being so mad at me and then the way you were defending your feelings all stubbornly."

"That's why you were laughing at me? Because I was talking about my feelings? Why is that so funny?"

"No, it was simply the way you were saying it. And on top of that you had your hands on your hips, like your mother always does." He said, cupping her cheek in his hand. "But why would my laughing about you turn into this?" He gestured between the two of them.

Ginny bit her lip, not sure whether she should say it or not. After contemplating it she decided to just tell it as it was.

"It was the way you were laughing. So carefree, so natural, without thinking. As if in this moment nothing else existed but the two of us. I have never ever seen you like that before. It was beautiful to watch. I just..." Tears were filling her eyes. "I just wish that you could always be like that. I mean I wish that the times were better and that we could be together without having to hide. I would love to see you smiling and laughing like this all the time. I love you."

Severus pulled her into a sweet, soft kiss. Pulling back for a second he whispered.

"Someday we will be. After all this is over, I'll still love you and we will be together forever." He pressed his lips back to hers and both of them simply enjoyed the happy moment. Thoughts of people wondering where Ginny or the Headmaster were, shoved aside, because all that really mattered was that the two of them had each other.
