Thanks for all of the review on the last chapter. Here comes my worst fear—my boggart you can say—I do not nor will I ever own the Harry Potter character. Trust me if I did Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Severus and Dumbledore would not have died.

Chapter 7

Plans and Spinning Dragons

Severus wanting to take the attention away for himself asked, "So do you know what else we are doing this week?"

Hermione watched Severus walk into the bathroom to change.

"I do believe we are going to go to a large mall, see a couple movies, and I am not really sure what else." Hermione said.

"Oh, that sounds exciting." Severus said the sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Knowing my dad, he will somehow make it funny." Hermione said.

Severus walked out of the bathroom. "Knowing your father, he probably will try to hand out Lemon drops to random people who help him.

"Hey be nice about my dad, if he wasn't alive, I wouldn't be here." Hermione said with a blank face.

"I am sorry Hermione." Severus said when he say Hermione's face.

Hermione broke out in a smile. "I was just joking." She said laughing.

Severus just glared, which in turned made Hermione laugh even harder.

Soon a voice through the wall yelled. "Oi, keep it down in there."

"Sorry." Hermione yelled back sheepishly, it was at that time which Severus started to laugh.

"Oh, shut it you." Hermione said as she threw a pillow at him, which in turn made Severus laugh even harder.

Hermione got off of the bed with a humph and started to walk to her suitcase. Severus saw her grab the suitcase and truth be told, he sort of freaked out.

"Please don't go. I honestly couldn't stand sleeping in a room with anyone else." Severus said as he stopped laughing.

Hermione turned to Severus and smiled. "I am not leaving, I was grabbing some clothes to take a shower." She said as she walked into the bathroom.

When Hermione closed the door, Severus fell onto the bed with a long sigh.

Twenty minutes later Hermione walked out of the bathroom, her hair was damp. When she reached the bed she found Severus soundly asleep on his side facing the bathroom. Hermione chuckled as she crawled onto the bed and under the covers. Ten minutes later Hermione was sound asleep curled up to Severus's chest with one of his arms around her. The two people sleep that way the rest of the night.


The next morning Severus was the first one to wake up. He noticed that there was something blocking his view, he looked down and saw a sleeping Hermione. Hermione's eyes started to flutter open.

"Morning." Hermione said sleepily.

"Morning to you too." Severus said to the woman down in his arms.

"How did you sleep?" Hermione asked.

"Rather well." Severus replied.

"Well I do believe we need to get up and going." Hermione said as she rolled out of Severus's arms for the second morning in a row. Severus watched the woman who was taking over his heart, walk into the bathroom of the hotel room.

"What time did you dad say we need to be there?" Severus asked.

"Not sure." Came Hermione's reply through the closed bathroom door.

Five minutes later Hermione was still in the bathroom and a knock came at the door. Severus got off of the bed and answered the. On the other side of the door was his boss in a short sleeve shirt and a pair of shorts.

"Good morning, Severus." Albus said with a smile.

"Morning Albus." Severus responded as he let his boss into the room.

"How are you and Hermione this morning?" Albus asked.

"Well, I am well and I do believe Hermione is well." Severus said.

"I am good, Dad." Hermione said through the bathroom door.

Albus just smiled and spoke "The Park opens up at ten, so we will probably leave the hotel around 9:30 this morning."

"Thanks, Albus." Severus said as he walked Albus to the door.

After Albus was out of the room, Severus knocked on the bathroom door.

"Are you about done in there?" Severus asked.

"One moment, don't get you knickers in a twist." Came Hermione's sarcastic reply.

"Madam let me assure you I am not wearing knickers, nor have I ever worn knickers, knickers are only for women." Severus said in a monotone voice.

"Excuse the hell out of me." Hermione said as she opened up the door.

"Finally." Severus said as he grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom.

"You're welcome." Hermione said as soon as the bathroom door closed.


Hermione and Severus got in the elevator and hit the level one button.

"So are you ready for all of this fun and excitement?" Hermione asked.

All that she got in a response was a glare. Hermione looked away while chuckling.

"Does my pain bring you enjoyment?" Severus asked with his customary eyebrow raise.

"Just this kind of pain, not the pain that Voldemort gave you." Hermione said while looking into Severus's eyes.

"Yes, well nobody likes that kind of pain." Severus said looking away.

"I am sorry." Hermione said with her head bowed when she saw Severus look away from her.

"It's not your fault." Severus said. He had his fingers under Hermione's chin to bring her eyes up to his.

Hermione looked into Severus's eyes and Severus's looked into Hermione's. Slowly the two leaned in, both were still looking into each other's eye, Hermione's fluttered shut.

"DING." The elevator went as it opened up to the first floor.

Severus and Hermione jumped apart from each other and blushed. They unloaded the elevator and went to the breakfast area. Ginny and Minerva were already eating.

"How did you guys sleep last night?" Ginny asked.

"Well." Hermione said as she went to go get some food.

Ten minutes later the rest of the group was downstairs and eating. Five minutes after that they were all in a rented car and headed to Worlds of Fun for the day.

They arrived at the main gates at ten o' clock in the morning. Albus walked up to the ticket window to get the tickets.

"Dumbledore." Albus said to the lady working.

The lady got on the computer for about two mintues.

"Here you go, Sir." She said as she handed him the tickets. "Have a great day at Worlds of Fun."

"Thank you we will." Albus said as he grabbed the tickets and walked back to his group.

"Are you ready?" Albus asked as he handed out the tickets.

"I am!" Ron said with much excitement.

"Well lets go." Albus said as the group walked into the amusement park.


The first ride that the group came upon was the spinning dragons. The group got in the line and waited their turn, which actually wasn't very long considering that the park had just opened.

"So this won't be like actually Dragons, right?" Ron asked.

"Ronald, be quite." Hermione said with a mild glare to Ron.

"Sorry." Ron said sheepishly.

The ride only fitted four people in it at one time. Hermione, Severus, Ginny and Draco went in one and Albus, Minerva, Harry and Ron went another one.

The ride started, Hermione and Severus went up the track backwards while Ginny and Draco faced forwards. When they hit the top the part of the name came into plan, the car started to spin slowly.

"This isn't so bad." Severus said.

Then the real fun started and Severus ate his words.

The ride started to pick up speed as it went do the track, it was spinning faster and faster. Hermione had her arms in the arm yelling, Ginny and Draco held onto the lap bar for dear life and Severus just sat with his eyes on Hermione. The ride came to a stop back at where they got on. The four people got off of the ride and that was when people say a different side to Severus.

"Who's up for another round?" He asked.

Please Review, I love every one of them.
