Severus couldn't help but notice the blush on Hermione's face as he sat down at the table for breakfast, nor could he miss the giggles of the two tykes sitting on his right, huddled into one another whispering frantically. The fact Hermione was avoiding any eye contact with him bugged him.
She can't even look at me. I wonder what's troubling her. Perhaps I can use legilimancy on her and see what the problem is.
He gently probed her mind, as not to arouse any suspicion from her, he saw flashes of the dream he had last night. The green nightie, the kiss, her sinking down onto his cock, glistening and sweat drenched bodies heaving against one another. He last saw a vision of Hermione waking up sticky and dishevelled. He pushed further, fascinated that she knew about his dream.
Hermione's eyes turned to him in panic as she felt him inside her mind, she quickly erected her Occlumency walls and blocked him out, staring back at him incredulously.
Oh fuck, he saw the dream! What must he think of me? Hermione rose from the table and started tidying, urgently ignoring what had just happened. She was a great believer in 'don't talk about it and it isn't a problem'.
Holy fuck, we shared a sex dream? Severus thought in shock as what he'd just seen sank in. Did that mean she desires me too? No, she couldn't. She probably had a very similar dream, or rather a nightmare. Yes, she had it as a nightmare about having sex with me, of course, that's what it was. No one would ever have a fantasy about me.
Sadly for the Potions Master, 'de nile is not just a river in Egypt'!
Deciding not to press the subject further, he was slightly embarrassed at having being caught probing her mind, Severus suggested that everyone go to Hogsmeade for the day as he had ingredients to buy from the apothecary. He was certain a day in town would entertain the children and it would be a chance to spend some time with his 'make believe' family.
Little did Severus and Hermioneknow, young children had little attention spans and were easily excited:
"Uncle Sevie-rus, can we go to the book shop?"
"I want to go to Honeydukes for sweeties! Can we Aunt Mione, can we?"
"I need to pee."
"Oh look a butterfly. I think they should be called flutterbys, it sounds nicer!"
"Can we go to the pet shop?"
"When do we get wands? Can I see your wand Uncle Sevie-rus?"
"I need a poo. I can't reach to wipe myself, can you come with me Aunt Mione?"
"What's the function of a rubber duck?"
"Aunt Mione, can we get dress up clothes?"
The day passed in this manner, much to the annoyance of both Severus and Hermione. Both had little experience with young children and were quickly finding out that 'parenting' was not the easy task they believed it to be.
As the children ran ahead looking at the owls in the Emporium window, the adults finally had a chance to catch their breath.
"I'm telling you Severus, when I have children they will be much lower maintenance. I'm exhausted!"
"With you for a mother, I doubt they'd be anything but high maintenance." Severus didn't mean to sneer at her but he was so tired and easily irritable that it seemed to slip out of its own accord.
Hermione stopped in her tracks and turned to him, "Why must you do that?"
"Do what?" He replied in a lazy tone, appearing 'not bothered' but inside chastising himself for setting up another disagreement with his desired witch.
"Turn into a bastard when I'm being perfectly amiable to you. For an adult you act like such a toddler Severus Snape. That little boy over there seems to hold a world more of sense and manners than you do…"She curtsied, bowing low "…your highness." She stormed off towards the children leaving Severus behind, mouth hanging slack at her cheek.
That was twice in two days she had cut him down to the size of a pea, time for revenge. A wicked smile graced Snape's lips as he flicked his wand murmuring under his breath.
Hermione turned to him, eye brow raised in a Snapely fashion, "Are you coming with us Professor or are you going to stand gaping like a cod-fish?"
"I'm right behind you Hermione dear." He forced a sweet smile onto his face, watching her scowl at him and push the kids in the direction of Flourish and Botts.
Her skirt tucked neatly into the back of her knickers showing her black lace boy-short panties.
Severus chuckled to himself. Aaaah revenge is sweet, look at the view I have…sweet indeed.
He licked his lips and followed the trio into the store.
Severus stood with the children looking over books on sea creatures and land mammals while Hermione browsed in the more 'restricted' section of the store. Severus was watching her out of the corner of his eye, wondering how long she would take to notice her apparel 'mishap' and simultaneously thinking about how that plump arse would look pumping up and down onto him in the reverse cowgirl position.
He was not pleased however when a dashing looking man with sandy blonde hair approached Hermione and whispered in her ear. Hermione looked at the man, blushed a furious shade of red and felt at her behind, un-tucking her skirt from her underwear. She stood talking to the man for a few minutes, their laughs could be heard from the other end of the shop. Severus was mad with jealousy, who the fuck was this shit and why was he taking an interest in his Hermione!
Russie was far too engrossed in his book to notice Severus's reaction but Mya had zoned in on it immediately. Sensing her 'uncle's' discomfort, she elbowed Russie and inclined her head towards Hermione being chatted up.
Seeing the jealousy spread across his older self's face, he thought fast and ran to Hermione tugging on her hand,
"Mummy, daddy says it's time to go home now. He says he wants to have adult cuddles with you once we go to bed. What's adult cuddles Mummy?"
The man talking to Hermione looked at the child in horror and then over the the black clad man drawing him daggers. He made his apologies and left.
Hermione started at Russie in confusion and anger, it had been ages since she'd been chatted up and that little chit had chased him away.
"What in Morgana's name was that all about Russie!"
Her anger was quickly forgotten as she saw the murderous look Severus was giving her as she walked over to him and Mya, Russie in tow.
"If you're quite finished fraternising with all the males in Hogsmeade like a common trollop, we can return home!"
Mya and Russie both winced at his harsh and uncalled for words to Hermione.
Even Severus knew that what he said was bang out of order, he was so pent up with jealousy he wanted to throw her over his shoulder, fuck her and then have a tattoo 'Belongs to Severus Snape' on her arse cheek.
Hermione's eyes watered up and she spoke in a low, dangerous voice, "Excuse me? A common trollop? How fucking dare you! I was having a conversation, a polite one at that, with a young man who happened to be gentlemanly enough to tell me my knickers were on show, more than what I can say for you! You spoil everything Severus Snape!"
She asked the kids to follow her home with a stern look and left the shop without a second glance at the Potions Master, little Mya kicking his ankle as she walked passed him. Russie just shook his head in disappointment at him.
Well, you've done it again Snape. Everyone hates you now. Merlin knows what I'm going to have to do to make it up to Hermione. Gods, how could I call the woman I am falling for 'a common trollop'? I just hope I haven't royally fucked up my chances at being with her. I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to women!
Severus returned to Hogwarts alone with a sense of emptiness. There was a full day left before classes began and the students arrived, he would make things up to her…he just had to. His and perhaps even Mya and Russie's happiness depended on it.
