Disclaimer: All things Harry Potter here all belong to JK Rowling. If Harry Potter had been my idea, Severus would have lived, shunned the memory of that good for nothing excuse of a friend Lily and hooked up with an older Hermione who is both his intellectual and powerful equal.
I will warn you that this story, like all my others will be of an adult nature. There will scenes of an erotic nature later on in this story so go no further if you are offended by fics with sexual references.

I really love nothing more than hearing back from your reviews. I have a number of fans who have been following my stories and their progress from my very first story but I have never heard an actual word on what they thought. So please, do not be scared, leave me a wee message and let me know what you think. It only takes a minute to review and it's only fair since I have spent many hours writing up these stories.
I really hope you enjoy this one and again, thank you all for your continued support.
Ps – With the recent crack down on EROTICA on fan fiction, I will be uploading my stories on my own forum to be safe. Other authors, HP fan fiction and others can post their stories there and share their favourites too. We're just starting out so need as much support as possible.

The day of reckoning had finally arrived and both Severus and Hermione had thought over the advice their friends had given them previously; Lucius had basically said to get to know the witch better, work the charm and woo her before eventually telling her he was in love with her.
Ginny and Tonks had said to get to know him better until she felt comfortable enough to tell him that she loved him.
Hermione felt that her friends were basically nuts. She could never see herself being comfortable enough with him to admit her feelings.
Severus thought Lucius was high. He was pretty certain he had no charm whatsoever thus making him unable to ever woo Hermione successfully.
Their friends didn't really understand the situation they were in and they were pretty certain that their relationship, both career and social wise, would never be as clean cut as that for either of them. The next three weeks were going to be interesting and they were both in a world of trouble, that much was certain.
Hermione arrived to the Headmaster's office just behind Severus. She resisted the urge to smack him on the back of the head when he rushed into the room in front of her and did not hold open the door for her, although had she not caught hold of the door when she did, there was no doubt in her mind that she would have been nursing a very bloody and broken nose.
Those doors are bloody heavy and there was no way that he didn't see me walking towards the office too. Bastard… fucking sexy bastard… but a bastard all the same! She thought as she entered the office.
"Ah, Hermione! Our little departure group is now complete and ready to rumble!" Albus beamed as he beckoned her further into the large room.
"Good evening, Albus. So when are we leaving?" She tried her best to keep her voice light and her eyes trained on her boss, avoiding Severus but as he traitorous eyes slipped to the dark haired wizard, she felt her heart skip a beat when she saw that his eyes were glued on her chest. Granted the top she wore was much lower cut than she would ever normally wear in the school but she was officially on holiday, she had a good size chest on her that she felt she had a right to flaunt and of course, she wanted a certain older gentleman to notice her as a woman as they endeavoured on this adventure together. It seemed her little plan had worked somewhat as Severus was almost salivating as he ogled her bountiful boobies.
Albus looked between his two professors with a wicked gleam in his eyes as he followed the direction Severus's eye.
Young scamp! He thought with an inward chuckle.
"Now, you'll be leaving in a few minutes but first, would you both please take a seat and we will go over a few ground rules."
The pair sat down rather awkwardly; Hermione because she was nervous since she was finally aware that Severus was looking at her sexually and Severus because he had been caught.
Well I am only human. She does have a cracking pair of tits… I wonder if I will ever get to motorboat those beasts. Severus shook his head to get rid of the though, storing it away for later, and turned his attention from Hermione's breasts to Dumbledore.
"You are both adults, please remember this fact when you are away. Please also remember that you represent this school and its reputation. This vacation is an attempt for you both to get to know one another better, to try and understand each other more and most importantly, get the both of you treating the other with civility. You both know my thoughts on how I think you would be well suited as friends and I hope against hope that I am right and you will come to this conclusion also."
Severus snorted loudly, crossing his arms and threw Albus a look of defiance. Hermione's eyes shifted to her left where Severus was seated, mentally called him a 'fuck nugget' and slowly looked back at the Headmaster with a look that clearly said, "Not bloody likely!"
Albus saw the reaction from the two of them and decided that scare-tactics may be needed since they were both so stubborn.
"I do not want to find that nothing has been achieved during this… attempt. I am serious here professors. I do not want to have to let one or both of you go but I cannot let things here carry on as they have been. It is not good for the example you set the children, it creates a negative atmosphere in general and to be quite honest, I am too old for putting up with such childish behaviour. Neither of you are students anymore but you would be hard-pressed to see any adult behaviour from the two of you this past while. It must stop or I am afraid, one or both of you will be asked to leave this institution. Believe me when I say that I do not want this to happen but… it will if improvements are not seen to be made. Am I understood?"
Both professors looked truthfully shocked at the ultimatum their boss had given them. Granted they were aware that Albus was unhappy with them since his idea about the vacation but they had not thought that he was quite so serious about them getting on. Not to the point where he was threatening to sack them for their behaviour should it not improve, that was for sure!
"Yes, understood." Hermione almost whispered.
"Yes, I suppose." Severus drawled, his eyes showing his fear for a split second before falling back into indifference.
Albus smiled widely and stood from his desk. He went over to his small library and pulled down a large, red leather tome. "Now this will act as your portkey. Take care of it and I will check in on you in a day or two. Enjoy the cottage, be nice to the very few neighbours you have and most importantly…get along with each other. Now… off with you!" He chuckled, laying the book in front of them both.
Hermione blushed when she read the book's title, Karma Sutra – the ultimate Wizards Guide. Severus merely smirked as he read the title and took hold of Hermione's small hand in his.
"See you soon then, Albus." Hermione said with a small smile while her eyes took in the sight of their joined hands. Her small, feminine hands cupped against his large, manly fingers. The man positively screamed masculinity and Hermione could not help but acknowledge the pulse in between her legs as she thought of those strong hands touching her naked body. She was knocked out of that particularly delightful fantasy as Severus gripped her hand tighter.
"Goodbye, old man. No doubt you will find us share stories of our past loves and braiding each other's hair by next Sunday!" He sneered before laying his other hand on the portkey.
Albus watched as the pair disappeared in the whirlwind, his eyes twinkling like the Aurora Borealis.
"Good luck and goodbye. Merlin only knows what the next few weeks has in store for you! Now I must go and update Minnie. She will be so excited to hear of my little plan in action!"
He left the room with a spring in his step as he sucked on a lemon drop. He was certain this plan was going to work; he knew love when he saw it and he could see they were both smitten with each other and he believe that they would see this too if they could get past the fake hostility and malice first. He believed that they could be truly happy together.
The both landed with a thump in the middle of a grassy moorland, the north sea could be heard quite clearly in the distance. Looking around them from their seated position they could see the lights of a small cottage firing away in next field. It was beginning to get dark and the drizzle of rain combined with the highland gales seemed to snap them out of the shock of their surroundings. The location was beautiful; it was agriculture at its best. It was wild but it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Mmm beautiful indeed, much like my lovely companion. Severus thought as he looked on Hermione.
She was sitting cross legged now, those delicious breasts were bunched together tight against her crossed arms, her cheeks and lips were a ruddy red colour, her expressive eyes darting around the views around her as her hair blew about in the highland winds. Most would probably think she looked dishevelled but to him she looked positively wanton.
I could fuck her here, right here in the middle of this field. I could just bury my face in that gorgeous chest of hers and lick her little body until it was raw. He thought with a smirk before he rose from the ground.
Severus stood with a loud sigh as he stretched and cracked his back, the heavy tome still in his hand "I suppose we better head to the cottage lest we get eaten by a wild fox after nightfall."
He smirked at her as she gave a small, nervous giggle.
Wild foxes eating us indeed! This place is absolutely gorgeous… I think this may not be as terrible as I had feared. Hermione thought as she looked up at her handsome and surly companion.
He extended an elegant, long fingered hand towards Hermione and purposefully ignored the skip in his heart beat when she gave him a small appreciative smile and put her hand in his.
"Thank you, Severus. Let's get inside and then we can talk. It's bloody freezing and I think we are both in need of a cup of tea. Sound good?" She looked up at him expectantly, hoping that they could talk things over like adults. She noticed that he was absentmindedly stroking the back of her hand with his thumb as he looked down at her with soft eyes.
"Tea sounds a treat… then perhaps we can begin to sort out some things?" The uncertainty in his voice made her heart swell.
Perhaps there is hope for us yet? She thought with hope in her heart.
She smiled at him again, giving his hand a squeeze "Perfect. Shall we head?"
Severus nodded before he reluctantly let go of her hand. The pair began to trudge their way to the cosy looking cottage ahead, missing the interested eyes of two of their neighbours.
"That's the arrivals then?" asked the shorter of the two.
"Looks like it David, looks like it. We'll need to keep a close eye on those two I think."
"Oh I will, don't you worry about that."
The two figures looked at each other with wicked smiles. The two new arrivals would prove to be their entertainment.
Hmm, entertainment indeed.
a/n: Oh noes... could this mean trouble for our two favourites? Who are the two mysterious figures...are they friends or foes? Will Hermione and Severus begin to get on? What obsticles will they be met with? Oooh, ahhh, getting a bit hotter now! Review...and you will find out what happens in the next chapter soooooooon!
