Okay, so i have no idea where this came from but it really got away from me. Hopefully there's not too many fans of Ron reading this because this chapter is very abusive to him. Also there's a homophobic portion in this story and honestly it was hard for me to write because i really don't see the point to homophobia but that doesn't matter. I'm also considering splitting this into two chapters because of the length.
A spell called Love
Chapter 4
As she stood there Minerva almost thought she was dreaming, this couldn't be real, she didn't want to believe it. There was the woman who she loved and thought loved her in the arms of someone else. Leaning down she picked up her book and turned back to Hermione and Ron, more focusing on Hermione than Ron.
"It's not my business what you two do in your free time but I would suggest that any future meetings between you to be in a more private setting."
Without saying another word Minerva walked away and turned the corner, and stopped for a moment, her hand moving to her mouth to cover the sob that was wrenched from what felt like her very soul. The next thing she knew she heard what seemed like an ear shattering slap, straightening up and turning around again what she saw shocked her. Hermione had Ron pinned to the wall her wand pointed between his legs, what she heard next almost made her heart stop.
"If you ever try anything like that again Ron, I swear on my life I will hex these off! I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with you or any other male in this castle, so back off!"
A smile across her face Minerva turned and hurried to her office, knowing that's where Hermione would go to try to explain things to her. Hermione however was still pinning Ron up against the wall with her wand. With a final sharp jab from her wand, Hermione turned and left leaving Ron wincing and thanking whatever deities that were listening that he had gotten off so lightly. Turning he went to go join Harry and Ginny at the lake. A knock on her door brought Minerva out of her thoughts and, with a tone that would freeze a cup of water with its coldness, she answered.
"Come in."
As Hermione stepped in she could see the fear in the younger woman's eyes, as she gave her a glance pretending to continue marking the essay in her hand, waiting for her to speak. Hermione decided to try clearing her throat to try to get her attention, but that proved ineffective as Minerva simple kept staring at the parchment in her hand. Finally, she spoke, in a voice that trembled with fear.
"Minerva?"
Finally looking up at the younger woman Minerva put the parchment down and gave her a look that she reserved for when she was reprimanding a student.
"I'm sure you meant to call me Professor, Miss Granger, so I will let that one slide. How can I help you today?"
As she looked at the look of confusion on Hermione's face, Minerva knew that her plan was working.
"Minerva, please stop this. Let me explain, it's not what you think."
Stopping dead in the middle of her sentence Hermione took a step back as Minerva stood up behind her desk. Slowly, Minerva stepped around the desk and moved towards the younger woman, watching as she continued to walk backwards until she had her back pressed against the wall.
"I have told you before, Miss Granger, you will refer to me as Professor and what isn't what I think? That you threw away the night we spent together? Well allow me to tell you exactly what I think of what I just saw."
Minerva was now a few inches from Hermione, her hands on the wall on either side of her body, making sure she couldn't escape from the situation. Leaning in Minerva brought her lips inches from Hermione's ear, making the younger woman shiver despite the situation.
"I think it was a brilliant display that will surely make keep his hands off of the woman I love."
Stepping back from Hermione, Minerva turned and went back to her desk, trying hard to keep herself from laughing at the stunned look on Hermione's face as she turned and sat behind her desk once more. Returning to her marking she occasionally looked up at Hermione to see her still standing there, a look of pure confusion on her face, until she finally came to her senses and walked up to her desk and stood beside her chair, her arms crossed as she looked down at Minerva.
"You are an EVIL woman, Minerva McGonagall."
That was the last straw for Minerva, she set down her quill and the parchment she was marking and let loose a loud long laugh. Turning her chair to face the younger woman Minerva held her arms out and waiting for Hermione to sit in the chair with her. Shaking her head at Minerva, Hermione sat and wrapped her arms around Minerva's waist, smiling as she felt Minerva's arms wrapping around her.
"I'm sorry my dear but I couldn't control myself."
"I was terrified I was going to lose you, you know."
A smile on her face Minerva kissed Hermione's forehead before placing a hand under the younger woman's chin to lift her face so she could look her in the eye.
"Firstly, now you know how I felt this morning and secondly, the only way you could lose me is if you no longer wish to be with me. Otherwise you are stuck with me."
As she looked at the smile on Hermione's face, Minerva ran her fingers down her cheek before leaning in and giving her a soft kiss. Giving a sigh Hermione, reluctantly, stood and started walking to the door.
"I should go, I promised Harry and Ginny that I'd spend the day with them by the lake. I'll see you tomorrow unless something else goes wrong."
"Let's hope that does not happen then. Have a good day, my love."
Smiling at her as Hermione walked out the door, Minerva gave a small chuckle, Hermione was right. She was an evil woman for doing that, but as long as she had Hermione she found she didn't care all that much.
AT THE LAKE
Harry, Ron and Ginny were sitting around the lake, occasionally looking up at the entrance to the castle waiting for Hermione to show up with a mountain of books. Getting worried Harry looked at the other two.
"Do you think she got side tracked? Maybe we should go look for her?"
A look passed between Harry and Ginny as Ron's hands went to cover his genitals and a whimper was heard from him before he spoke.
"I think she'll be here soon guys."
Both Harry and Ginny knew something was up and resolved to ask Hermione about it, knowing Ron wouldn't answer their questions. Turning to look at the entrance again, Harry's face split into a smile as he saw Hermione walking toward them and sitting next to Ginny.
"Well it's about time Hermione. What kept you?"
Harry and Ginny's eyebrows nearly disappeared into their hair as Hermione's eyes flashed and moved over to Ron.
"Nothing, I was just having some trouble finding a book I wanted to read."
Nodding to Ginny and then to Hermione, Harry stood and watched as Ginny nodded in response, showing she understood his idea. Harry put his hand on Ron's shoulder to get his attention.
"Hey Ron, come here a second mate. I got something I need to talk to you about."
Nodding, Ron stood up and the two walked away to the other side of the lake. Once they were far enough away Ginny turned to Hermione and pulled the book from her hands.
"Alright Hermione, what's going on? What really kept you from getting here sooner?"
Shaking her head, Hermione decided to make things easier on herself and tell her friend what happened between her and Ron.
"Your brother, what else would it be?"
As she opened her mouth to finish her explanation, the two were distracted as they heard a loud splash and someone thrashing about in the water. Turning to where Harry and Ron had been talking, they started laughing. It looked like Harry had thrown Ron into the lake over what they were talking about. Standing and walking over just as Ron was making his way back on to land, Ginny turned to Harry.
"What was that about?"
As she looked at Harry she was shocked to see the look he had on his face. He was angry and there was no mistaking it. Jerking his head toward Ron, who had just pulled himself out of the water and was standing bent over his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.
"He told me what happened between him and 'Mione."
Turning to Hermione, Ginny looked at her and motioned for her to explain. A smile on her face Hermione told Ginny what happened and watched as the youngest Weasley walked over to her brother and promptly sent him back into the lake before turning to Hermione.
"You wouldn't happen to know what the Giant Squid likes to eat do you?"
All 3 turned and laughed as Ron gave a loud scream of terror and started swimming as fast as he could to the shore. Pulling himself up Ron turned to the other 3, who were still laughing and stormed off toward the castle. After they stopped laughing Harry, Ginny and Hermione sat down and started talking about anything they could think of, Harry and Ginny hoping to cheer Hermione up. Little did they know she didn't need it but still, Hermione was glad she had them for friends. As the sun started to set, they stood and walked back to the school for Dinner, noticing as they sat down that Ron had made sure they wouldn't be able to join him by sitting with Dean and Seamus on either side of him and several people on either side of them.
Laughing as they sat down and began to eat, Hermione couldn't help but sneak glances up at Minerva as they ate. Forcing herself not to look too often she hoped that Harry and Ginny didn't notice. Finishing their meal, Harry, Ginny and Hermione headed for the Common Room. Choosing a table away from everyone else they were surprised when Ron entered the Room and walked over to them and stood at the side of the table, instead of sitting down right away.
"I just wanted to apologize for earlier Hermione. I should've just walked back down to the lake."
Smiling at him Hermione motioned for him to join them as a way of letting him know his apology was accepted. Also smiling Ron sat down and they spent most of the night laughing and joking until Ron turned to Hermione a questioning look on his face.
"Hermione something you said earlier has been kind of bugging me. You know back when you had me pinned to the wall with your wand."
Nodding Hermione motioned for him to continue, hoping that it wouldn't lead to where she thought it was going to.
"Well what did you mean when you said you weren't interested in me or any other male in the castle?"
Looking to Harry and Ginny, Hermione swallowed the lump that had suddenly appeared in her throat. She wasn't sure she was ready to tell her friends this but given what happened at the lake today, she was sure that at least Harry and Ginny would support her. Taking a deep breath she looked back to Ron and prepared herself for the worst.
"I'd have thought that was obvious Ron, I'm not interested because I'm not attracted to men."
A hand covered hers under the table and she glanced at Ginny to see her looking at Hermione with an encouraging smile on her face and looking at Harry saw that he too was smiling at her. Ron, however was looking at her as though she was the most disgusting thing he'd ever seen.
"You mean you're a lesbian? That's disgusting."
With that Ron stood and walked up the staircase to the boy's dormitories. With a sigh Harry stood and shook his head.
"Don't worry 'Mione, I'll go talk to him. You stay here and hang out with Ginny, just remember she's all mine."
Laughing at the look on both Ginny and Hermione's face, Harry left following Ron up to the dorms. Shaking their heads Ginny and Hermione started talking, Hermione hoping that nothing was going to happen but not 5 minutes later everyone in the Common Room's attention was brought to the staircase leading up to the Boy's Dorms. The source of the noise came into view a few moments later and turned out to be one Ron Weasley, looking beaten and battered. Following him was Harry a look of disgust on his face as he looked down at his former best friend. Looking up to Ginny and Hermione he nodded towards the portrait hole and, grabbing him by his foot, started dragging Ron towards it. Taking the hint the two women stood and hurried out after him, Hermione began her questions as soon as the portrait closed.
"What happened up there Harry?"
"Later 'Mione I don't want to tell this story more than I have too."
Looking at Ginny with wide eyes, Hermione wondered just what it was that Ron said that made Harry this mad. Noticing that Harry was planning on dragging Ron up a set of stairs Hermione asked if Harry wanted her to levitate him to the hospital wing. Turning to her Harry simply said no and continued walking. As they entered the hospital wing the group noticed that Minerva was there talking with Poppy. Both of them turned and stared as the group walked closer to them and Harry yanked Ron's leg to swing him in front of them
"Ron's been hurt Madame Pomfrey."
At Harry's words, Poppy and Minerva simply stared at him for a few moments. Minerva recovered first and stepped around the unconscious form of Ron as Poppy began moving him to a bed.
"I believe that further explanation is needed Mr. Potter, how did he become injured?"
"If you don't mind Professor can we join Madame Pomfrey, I'd rather not tell this story more than once."
Her brows raised, Minerva nodded and led the way to the bed where Ron was laying with Poppy beside him, examining him. Turning around Minerva nodded to Harry indicating he should start explaining.
"Well Professor, Ginny, Hermione and I were sitting in the Common Room when Ron came and joined us after apologizing for what happened earlier. We started talking and Ron said he had a question about something Hermione said. Well that led to her telling us that she's attracted to other women and Ron got mad and left. So I decided to get up and talk to him, hoping to calm him down. That was a very bad idea…"
****FLASHBACK****
Harry opened the door to see a very angry Ron pacing and muttering to himself. Sighing to himself, Harry walked in and closed the door, sat on his bed and looked at Ron. Deciding to wait a few moments to see if Ron would stop muttering and talk to him Harry gave up, shaking his head.
"You're over reacting Ron, what does it matter if Hermione likes other women. It's her choice and we should support and respect that."
Almost scared, Harry jumped as Ron turned to him with a look of pure fury on his face.
"How can you say that? That's disgusting, people like her should be locked up! It's just wrong, two women in a relationship is just morally wrong! She should be killed for this!"
He never got any further into his rant, at his declaration that Hermione should be killed, Harry stood and promptly knocked Ron on his ass with a punch that left Ron thinking his jaw was broken. Harry allowed him no respite as he knelt and continued to beat him unconscious, then dragged him out the door of the dorms and threw him down the stairs.
****END FLASHBACK****
Looking at the 4 women in the room, Harry sat in a chair a calm look on his face as the others looked at him with looks of rage on their faces. Minerva was barely containing herself from killing Ron as he lay on the bed as she looked at Hermione. Bringing herself back to the moment, Minerva reminded herself that although she wanted to award Harry 100 points for his actions they were against school rules.
"Well, as much as your actions should be commended Mr. Potter, you will be serving 3 days of detention with me for them. Now you and Miss Weasley should return to your dorms for the night. If you would wait for me by the door Miss Granger, we need to talk about some things before you leave."
Giving Hermione a pointed look, Minerva turned to Poppy and asked for a report on Ron's condition as Harry, Ginny and Hermione left and closed the curtains around the bed. Waiting for a few moments, to make sure that she wouldn't be heard, Poppy answered Minerva in a whisper.
"He's lucky I took an oath to heal all that need it, otherwise I'd toss him out myself! He'll be alright in a few days I've healed the broken bones from Potter's attack as well as the fall down the stairs and the journey here."
Nodding at Poppy, Minerva turned and left Ron in her tender care, a smirk on her face. Ron was in for a very painful few days with Poppy. Reaching Hermione, Minerva placed a hand on her shoulder as she saw the younger woman had tears in her eyes. 'That's not a big surprise, someone who was supposed to be her best friend wants her to die because of something she can't help' Minerva sighed to herself as she whispered to the young woman.
"Come with me, we'd best have this discussion in my rooms."
A nod was all she got from Hermione to indicate she had heard Minerva. A few moments later the two women walked into Minerva's rooms and after closing and locking the door, Minerva wrapped her arms around Hermione as the younger woman cried.
"It will be alright Hermione. I'll make sure of that."
Wrapping her arms around Minerva's neck Hermione looked up at her and smiled as Minerva picked her up and lay down with the younger woman lying in her arms on top of her. Laying her head against Minerva's shoulder, Hermione felt herself calming as Minerva held her. Her tears stopped quickly with Minerva's help and she pressed her lips to the older woman's in a soft kiss.
"Thank you Minerva. I'm still having a hard time believing this."
Hermione felt Minerva's arms tighten their grip on her in response to her statement, unable to stop the thought of going back to the hospital wing and inflicting her own damage on the likely still unconscious Ron Weasley.
"I know love. It's not easy finding out that someone you care for and have been through so much with hates you so much."
Sensing Minerva knew from experience Hermione sat up and looked at the emerald eyes of the woman she loved and placed a hand on her cheek.
"You sound like you speak from experience."
"I do. It wasn't easy for me to do what you did either and someone I considered a friend reacted quite similarly to ."
Not wanting to push Minerva into talking about something she wasn't ready to talk about, Hermione simply nodded and stood. Leaning in she kissed Minerva again and started walking to the door.
"I should be getting back to my room. I think I need some sleep after this."
"I don't blame you dear, sleep well"
Turning to Minerva as she was closing the door, Hermione smiled at Minerva and felt extremely lucky to have a woman as amazing as she was. Giving a quick wave Hermione closed the door and walked back to the Head Girls quarters and, speaking the password Hermione wasn't surprised to find Ginny sitting on her bed. Watching as Ginny stood and rushed over to give her a hug, Hermione smiled feeling happier than she ever remembered feeling, knowing she was very lucky to be surrounded by people who loved and cared for her so much.
"Hermione, I'm so sorry about my brother. If I had no idea he was like that."
"Ginny it's alright, this isn't your fault."
Smiling down at Ginny, Hermione walked over and almost collapsed on her bed, she was exhausted. Looking over at Ginny she smiled as the younger woman turned and walked toward the door, stopping just before closing it.
"We'll talk about this tomorrow. Good night 'Mione."
Hermione smiled at Ginny as she closed the door and was asleep before she knew it. Waking up she looked at the clock and pulled herself from the warmth of her bed, a smile on her lips as she knew that tomorrow morning it would be even more difficult to get out of bed with Minerva sleeping next to her. Pulling the robes from her body Hermione stepped in the shower and quickly washed her body and hair wanting to get out and get to Minerva's rooms to visit her, knowing she had told Hermione not to come to visit her unless she needed help with her schoolwork, Hermione found herself unable to fight the pull to visit Minerva. Pulling on a fresh set of robes, she quickly walked out of her quarters and made her way to Minerva's room.
Knocking on the door to Minerva's quarters, Hermione waited eagerly for her to open the door. Moments later the door opened and a surprised Minerva appeared looking down at her with a smile.
"Well isn't this a surprise, please come in."
Stepping aside Minerva closed the door and turned, not surprised when Hermione pinned her to the door kissing her. Minerva's arms went around Hermione's waist as she deepened their kiss, smiling as she heard the younger woman moan into her mouth as she slowly traced her lips with her tongue for a few moments before Hermione's lips opened to allow her entrance. Minerva could not help moaning as she and Hermione stood there for what seemed like an eternity sharing a kiss that was shaking both witches to their very souls. When the need for air became too great the two broke the kiss, Minerva smiling widely down at Hermione.
"Well that certainly was an amazing way to say Good Morning."
"I agree. I know you said not to come and see you unless I had questions about work but, after last night I couldn't stay away."
Pulling Hermione to the couch where they sat the night before Minerva sat down, waiting for Hermione to join her. When Hermione sat down, Minerva smiled as she took her hands in her own and brought them to her lips, placing a soft kiss on each hand.
"I wouldn't worry about Ron anymore; Rolanda has already taken care of that. She just left not 5 minutes ago after paying him a visit"
"What do you mean?"
The smile Minerva had on her face made Hermione worry for Ron's sanity despite the anger she still harboured for him after the night before. She was right to worry, as Minerva began telling her what the flying instructor had done to Ron.
"I paid Rolanda a visit last night hoping she would calm me down, I don't know why I thought she would but it turns out she did. I think that's mostly because she didn't want me getting in trouble for torturing the boy. From what she told me Ron is now sitting in his bed in the hospital wing covered in spiders."
Hermione's jaw hit the floor, Ron's fear of spiders was no secret and after their adventure into the forest in their second year it had only gotten worse. Hermione was tempted to go and see just how loud he was screaming but settled for laughing as she pictured it in her head. What she didn't know was Minerva was planning on going to visit Ron with a surprise of her own. Minerva ran over her plan again as she watched Hermione laughing at Ron's situation. She stood slowly and offered her hand to Hermione.
"I'm afraid, my dear that we will have to cut our visit short. I have some matters that need tending to before breakfast."
The appraising look Hermione was giving her told her she had her suspicions on where she was going as she took Minerva's hand and they walked to the door together. Hermione placed a quick kiss on Minerva's cheek and placed her hand on the door knob, stopping and turning before she left.
"Will you join me in walking to the Hall Minerva?"
"Actually, I'm going the opposite way. I need to talk to Albus about what happened last night."
Nodding at Minerva, Hermione stepped out the door as did Minerva. A quick and formal good-bye and the two went their separate ways. Minerva felt bad for lying to Hermione but she wanted to inflict her own punishment on Ron for the things he said. Knowing that she shouldn't be acting this way, Minerva found that she didn't care as she pushed the door to the hospital wing open. Stepping inside Minerva looked around and saw the ward was empty, making her way to Poppy's office and seeing it was also empty she smiled to herself. Her plan was working better than she thought it would. Turning and walking towards Ron's bed, she pulled the curtains aside and saw that he was unconscious, paler than the sheets on his bed and a look of pure terror on his face. Smiling Minerva made sure to close the curtains as she stepped closer and drew her wand, leaning in to whisper to him, not caring that he couldn't hear her.
"This is for Hermione."
She waved her wand in a complex set of gestures and watched as the spell took effect. In reality it was nothing more than a modified Glamor Charm, but if one wasn't aware of that it would seem as though the recipient was suffering from a painful flesh-eating disease or poison and with the variety of spiders covering the bed it seemed rather fitting. Her task accomplished Minerva slid her wand back into her pocket, turned and left her smile even bigger as she did so, she knew Ron was in for a big shock when he woke up. As she reached the door it opened and in stepped Poppy, her eyes narrowed as she saw Minerva.
"Minerva? What are you doing here so early?"
"Am I not allowed to check on the welfare of one of my students?"
The smile on her face and the flash that passed through her eyes made Poppy run towards Ron's bed and pull the curtains aside in a hurry. Seeing the patches of skin that seemed to be dissolving before her eyes Poppy turned to Minerva and pointed at Ron.
"Did you do this?"
"What part are you referring too? Rolanda was responsible for the spiders. The charm affecting his skin was me however."
Looking slightly relieved that her patient wasn't actually in any danger Poppy closed the curtains again and turned to Minerva.
"Would you mind explaining why you did this? The spiders were more than enough thank you."
"Now just imagine what he's going to be like when he wakes up and thinks he's dying of a flesh-eating spider wound."
As Minerva turned and walked out, Poppy stood staring after her. The look on her face somewhere between amusement and horror at what had been done. Remembering the previous night Poppy quickly changed to amusement and left to join her colleagues for breakfast.
It was getting close to noon when Ron finally became conscious again and almost fainting again when he saw the spiders still on his sheets, the only thing that stopped him was the pain in random areas of his body. Turning his gaze on his hand he saw the skin peeling and rotting away, and he yelled loudly drawing Poppy's attention. Trying to keep a serious face Poppy pulled open the curtain and looked at Ron.
"Well it's good to see you're awake, although I'm sure you wished you were still unconscious right about now."
"What's going on? What's wrong with my skin?"
Rolling her eyes at the boy's stupidity Poppy walked closer, noticing the spiders had cleared off the bed as she inspected the wounds on his hand and face. Holding back her laughter she looked down at Ron with pity on her face.
"Well, those look like the result of a poisonous spider bite. I wouldn't think you'll last longer than a day maybe two."
At those words Ron promptly fell unconscious again. Turning around and closing the curtains as she walked away from the bed Poppy almost ran into her office and shut the door bursting out into laughter as soon as she did so. Minerva would be glad to know her Charm worked perfectly.
Minerva was sitting at the desk in her office, attempting to mark the remaining essays from the night before. Unfortunately for her a certain brown-haired witch kept interrupting her and breaking her concentration, regardless of the fact that she was, in all probability, across the castle from her. Sighing Minerva placed the parchment on her desk and her glasses on top of that. Rubbing her eyes she decided it was time for a break, and someone seemed to agree with her as a knock sounded on the door. Putting her glasses back on, she sighed before looking at the door.
"Come in"
The door opened and in stepped Poppy with a smile on her face that told Minerva Ron had woken up and the result was exactly as she expected. Leaning back in her chair she waited for Poppy to sit down, once she had Minerva smiled at her.
"So, how is ?"
Unable to contain herself Poppy burst out laughing once again, making Minerva chuckle. She couldn't wait to hear what Poppy had told him about his "condition". Wiping her eyes of tears Poppy finally stopped laughing long enough to tell Minerva what had happened when Ron woke up. By the time Poppy had finished telling her about it Minerva was the one who was laughing. Waiting for her to stop laughing Poppy became the head healer of the school once more.
"When will the charm diminish Minerva?"
"I believe it already has Poppy."
Sighing Poppy shook her head as a knock was heard on Minerva's door once again. Composing herself again Minerva sat straight at her desk trying to keep the picture of Ron in the hospital wing out of her head.
"Come in"
The door opened and Hermione entered, a smile on her face that faltered slightly when she saw Poppy in the room. Moving to stand beside Minerva's desk Hermione tried not to seem too nervous or excited at being in the room with the woman she loved.
"Hello Professor, I was wondering if you had a few moments to talk."
Poppy gave Minerva a nod before standing and leaving the room. A few moments after the door closed Minerva flicked her wand to lock the door before standing and pulling Hermione into a kiss. As they broke apart Minerva looked up at Hermione.
"What can I do for you dear?"
"I'd heard a rumour that you went to see Ron in the hospital wing before breakfast this morning."
Debating with herself for a few seconds Minerva gave Hermione an appraising look before motioning with her hand for Hermione to sit in the chair that Poppy was sitting in a few moments before.
"I did go to the hospital wing this morning. I apologize for lying, love but I didn't want you to worry about what I might do."
"Oh Minerva you didn't! Why would you do that? Hasn't he suffered enough for what he said?"
Pulling her glasses off and placing them on her desk, Minerva stood and walked around to the front of her desk before kneeling before Hermione. Taking Hermione's hands in her own Minerva's eyes met Hermione's as she spoke.
"Hermione, I will never forgive him for the things he said about you. That being said I did what I set out to do, I have no intentions of doing anything else and to answer your last question, he hasn't suffered enough for what he's said for my liking but I have a feeling he will have by the end of the year."
"What do you mean? You just said you weren't going to do anything else to him?"
Standing and taking her place behind her desk once more, Minerva smiled at Hermione. Quickly relating the story of Poppy's involvement in her visit this morning, Minerva couldn't help but laugh along with Hermione at Ron's reaction.
"I will stand by my word Hermione. I will not do anything else to him intentionally. However I can't speak for the others in the castle. Ron has made quite a few enemies, as I'm sure you already know."
Smiling at the look Hermione was giving her, Minerva stood and offered her hand to Hermione. Pulling her to her feet Minerva pulled her to the door and kissed Hermione once again as she unlocked the door, whispering in her ear after they broke apart.
"Go to my rooms dear, I'll join you in a few moments."
Nodding as she opened the door, Hermione walked out of the office and headed to Minerva's rooms. Closing the door Minerva returned to her desk and finished marking the last of the essays before leaving and heading to her rooms. Noticing she was walking faster than was usual for her Minerva couldn't help but marvel at the effect that Hermione had on her not for the first time that day. Smiling Minerva pushed the door to her rooms open after speaking the password. Looking around for her Minerva wasn't surprised as she saw Hermione curled up on the couch reading a book. Shaking her head Minerva slid onto the couch behind Hermione and wrapped one arm around her waist and the other went to pull her hair away from her neck so Minerva could place a few soft kisses on her neck.
"Mmmmm, if you don't stop that Minerva I'm going to have a terrible time concentrating."
"Now you know how I've felt all day, I haven't been able to keep you off of my mind since I saw you this morning."
Placing the book on the table Hermione turned in Minerva's arms and wrapped her own arms around her before kissing her again. Her hands roamed over Minerva's back as they kissed, Minerva's left hand remained around Hermione's waist as her right went to the middle of her back, her left thumb running up and down on a bit of skin where her shirt had ridden up slightly, causing a shudder to run through the younger woman. Breaking the kiss Hermione turned again and smiled as Minerva pulled her closer, the two spent the rest of the day like that only moving when it was time for them to eat, which was a surprise for Hermione.
Earlier in the day Minerva had paid a visit to the house elves and asked for dinner to be served in her rooms and to bring enough food for two people. It was around 5 at night when the two were in the middle of a debate about a transfiguration theory when a crack sounded and the table that stood in Minerva's kitchenette went from a bare surface to a candlelit dinner for two. Standing to look at what had caused the noise Hermione was speechless as Minerva came up behind her.
"Ah, right on time as usual, would you care to join me Hermione?"
Turning to face Minerva, Hermione couldn't help the tear that slid down her face. She had never felt so loved and so happy in her life. Throwing her arms around Minerva she pulled her into a kiss before the two sat to enjoy the meal. After finishing their meal, Minerva smiled as she stood and offered her hand once again to Hermione, not answering the younger woman's inquiries about where they were going, it wasn't far as she soon found out. Minerva's quarters came with a window that gave a beautiful of the sun setting and waving her wand, she turned the single chair into a couch for the two of them to sit on and enjoy watching the sun setting. As the moon rose higher Hermione turned and slowly ran the back of her hand against Minerva's cheek.
"I really need to thank you for such a perfect day, love."
"It was my pleasure, dear. How do you propose we end the day?"
With a wicked smile Hermione stood and started walking toward Minerva's bedroom, turning and beckoning for Minerva to follow her before entering the room. Standing and heading toward her room Minerva smiled as she entered her room and felt her breath stop in her chest as she saw Hermione sitting on the end of her bed, her shirt undone exposing a red lace bra to her eyes as she looked back at Minerva with a seductive smile on her face. Giving a low growl of desire Minerva closed her bedroom door and moved toward Hermione, pulling out her wand she quickly cast a contraceptive charm on herself, sliding her wand back into her pocket, before she began pulling off the shirt that was barely hanging on the younger woman's shoulders. Minerva lent in and began to kiss and gently nip at the sensitive skin of Hermione's neck as her hands worked at pulling off the rest of the younger woman's clothes. Her hands slowly running down Hermione's back, Minerva started by unclipping her bra then trailing her fingers over the younger woman's skin pulled the bra from her body. As she saw her bra being thrown to the floor, Hermione smiled as she fell back softly to lay on the bed, Minerva making sure to follow as her hands moved to pull the skirt down her legs.
Giving a moan as Minerva's hands ran over her breasts Hermione began to undo the buttons on her outer and inner robes before she pushed the baggy outer robes off of Minerva's shoulders as she felt her skirt land on the floor she kicked it off. As Minerva moved to pull of Hermione's panties, the younger woman was pulling off Minerva's inner robes before working on unclipping her bra as her panties hit the floor Hermione threw Minerva's bra next to them. Flipping the two women so Hermione was kneeling over Minerva, she began kissing down her neck toward her breasts. Taking a slowly hardening nipple into her mouth, Hermione slowly ran her tongue in circles around it, one of her hands moving to the other breast and with her other she began to slowly run it down her stomach her fingers barely touching Minerva's skin as it reached Minerva's panties. Slowly slipping her hand into Minerva's panties Hermione smiled as she heard the groan of need from Minerva.
"Hermione, please stop teasing me."
Smiling, Hermione slowly ran her finger over Minerva's clit before running slow circles around it. Minerva's hands gripped the covers of her bed as her back arched in pleasure as Hermione moved her finger from her clit to slowly slide it inside her. Releasing Minerva's nipple from her mouth Hermione slid down Minerva's body, kneeling on the floor in front of her. Pulling her panties down, Hermione gently spread Minerva's legs and leaned in to slowly lick her lips before thrusting into her with her fingers once again, her tongue moving to flick and circle Minerva's clit. A loud moan was Minerva's only approval as Hermione added a second finger as she pressed down softly on the older woman's stomach to try and still her erratic hip movements, afraid of injuring the woman she loved. Gripping the covers tighter in her hands Minerva couldn't stop herself from screaming in pleasure as Hermione continued her assault between her legs but it soon turned to a groan of disappointment as she felt her pull away. Taking the opportunity to move, Minerva slid up so her head was resting against the pillows as she watched Hermione crawl towards her and kiss her, moaning as she tasted herself on the younger woman's lips.
Sliding her legs around Hermione's waist, Minerva slid one of her hands down between their bodies to grip Hermione's length, stroking it slowly as she softly guided it to her opening. Smiling into the kiss, Hermione softly thrust into Minerva as the older woman's lips parted to allow her tongue to enter and softly caress Minerva's. Thrusting with more force and speed Hermione moaned into Minerva's mouth as she ran her hands along her love's arms, loving the feel of her skin, trying to memorize every inch of it. Breaking their kiss Minerva smiled as she tilted her head back and allowed her eyes to close as Hermione's hands ran over her body, one moving to her clit to add to the already immense amount of pleasure running through Minerva's body. Feeling her eyes rolling into the back of her head and her jaw falling slack, Minerva shuddered and screamed as she felt her orgasm rip through her body, her muscles clamping down on Hermione's length as she felt as well as heard the younger woman reach her climax as well shooting her seed into Minerva's body as she collapsed into her love's arms.
Wrapping their arms around each other the two women quickly fell asleep in each others arms, both feeling extremely lucky to have the other in their lives.
There a rather fluffy ending rather than the cliffhangers I've left you with before. hopefully this will tide you all over for a while because unless I get the whole chapter in my head at once again it's probably going to take me a while to get the next chapter out.
