Chapter nine: The First Lesson…..

Hermione and Severus were in their chambers lying in their bed on Wednesday morning. Severus held Hermione close to him, Hermione could feel his heart beat.

"today's the day…." Hermione sighed.

"Yes, I know…..I wouldn't mind training you, but Potter and Weasley? And the two worst wizards for help? What had Albus come to? Black and Lupin? Ha…" Severus told her. Hermione looked up at him.

"Remus and Sirius aren't bad….I know you three had your differences, but you must push them aside for the war, once the war is over, you three can start doing what ever it is that you please, but I do wish you three could make amends." Hermione stated.

"Like that's gonna happen. But I'll do it for you my love….beside, like I said before, Potter needs all the help he could get, especially Weasley." Severus said.

"after our training, shouldn't be wise to train our fellow class mate? Like Neville…." Severus then cut her off.

"Longbottom is clueless….he can't even make a potion's right with out your help Hermione, with in the first five minutes of me teaching him privately, I think I would go mad and kill him….I wouldn't do it voluntarily though, but he is annoying…. Or, he might just crawl in a corner in a fettle possession and start crying like a little baby, sucking his little thumb." Both he and Hermione laughed at that statement.

"Your mean…He's only frightened of you, you make him nervous, when he's not in your class, he does excellent…in every subject. He does do a decent job in potions, when your not in there. I remember when Slughorn had been substituting you once, he did excellent on the blood replenishing potion." Hermione stated.

"Is that so?" Severus asked and kissed Hermione on the lips.

"As much as I hate getting up this morning, we better get a move on don't you think?" Hermione asked tracing circles around Severus' chest. Severus sighed.

"Yes, I guess." Severus answered and both of them got up and got ready for the long day's ahead.

Room of requirement.

Since the school day was finally finished, Hermione, Harry and Ron arrived at the Room of requirement. Severus, Remus, and Sirius arrived too.

"Now, since Professor Dumbledore instructed the three of us to train you three dunderheads, I advice we start now. Lupin, you take Mr. Weasley, Black, take Mr. Potter, and Miss. Granger, you will come with me. We will train four hours on Wednesday, and on Saturday, we will work from two till five, that goes for Sunday too. Is that clear?" Severus instructed with a scowl.

"Yes sir." The three said, and with that, Harry, Ron and Hermione separated. Hermione and Severus were on the left side of the room, Harry and Sirius had the middle and Remus and Ron took the right side of the room.

They had been training for two hours when the six of them stopped to take a short break.

"How did training go Black? Lupin?" Severus asked.

"it went fine. Threw a couple of hexes, and spells. Harry here seems to be getting a little better blocking them….as for Ron, well….we need a little more work done." Lupin answered him.

"We'll take a fifteen minute break." Severus said and walked off to get some water. Sirius came towards Hermione and smiled at her.

" Is Snape treating you good? With the training?" Sirius asked. Hermione sat along the wall and leaned her head back.

"He's tough, but I'm getting better. Like Harry, I need just a little work on blocking, I'm good with casting the spells but, blocking is my main issue." Hermione told Sirius.

"hmm. If you need extra help, just come to me, and I'll help you." Sirius said.

"But your helping Harry aren't you?" Hermione asked, as she arched her eye brow.

"Yes, you and Harry could work together. With me." Sirius suggested.

"Don't mean to be rude or anything, why do you want me to work with you so badly?" Hermione asked. Sirius scooted towards her, almost touching.

"To be honest Hermione, I'm starting to fancy you. you mind going out to dinner with me? Maybe tonight?" Sirius asked.

"I'm sorry Sirius, but I don't think it wise to be going out with my best friend's godfather. It would be weird. I'd just rather be friends." Hermione said. Severus had came in and saw Sirius sitting next to Hermione. He grew frustrated. He saw Hermione a little uncomfortable with what ever they seemed to be talking about.

"If you change your mind Hermione, you'll know where to find me." Sirius said and gotten up to go talk to Harry. Severus came towards her.

"Professor…." Hermione said getting up and brushing off the dirt on her pants.

" what did Black want?" Severus asked.

" I'll tell you later, I don't want them to over hear." Hermione told Severus. Severus rolled his eye's and then the training continued for another two hours.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. I will see you all on Saturday….do NOT be late." Severus announced and left the room with billowing robes.

"Hermione, you doing anything tonight?" Harry and Ron asked.

"I'll probably be studying in the library or something." Hermione answered, but it was a lie, she was going to see Severus when she left here.

"Oh, I wanted to know if you wanted to come flying with us. Remus and Sirius are coming too." Harry told her.

"Sorry, Harry, but there's a test in Potions tomorrow, remember? I don't want to fail it. so, I see you later" Hermione said and rushed out of the room of requirement.

After Hermione and left, she went into their chambers. Severus was sitting on the couch, Hermione walked over and sat next to him and started to kiss him on the cheek, and reached his mouth. Severus groaned, but then after a couple of seconds, He broke it.

"Severus, baby, what's wrong?" Hermione asked. Severus looked at her.

"You know bloody well what's wrong! What did Black say to you?" Severus said in his cold harsh voice.

"He asked me out to dinner…." Severus cut her off.

"HE WHAT! I'm Gonna kill him!" Severus said angrily. Hermione stopped him.

"No! Don't! Harry need's him. I said no to his question anyways…I'm not interested in him…never will I be interested in him." Hermione said.

"you swear?" He asked. Hermione kissed him.

"Cross my heart hope to die, stick a needle in my eye! I swear Severus…you know how much I love you." Hermione said. Severus sighed in relief and wrapped his arms around her, and she leaned into him, smelling his scent from his robes.

"I'm sorry Hermione, forgive me? I didn't mean to be mad at you. it's Black." Severus said.

"Of course I forgive you my love. I only like him as a friend, just like Remus, because their Harry's only family….well, Remus, kind off." Hermione said.

"I love you too Herms." Severus said and started to kiss Hermione with all the love he could muster. Hermione kissed him back with full passion.

"You wanna take this to the other room love?" Severus asked. Hermione nodded and Severus got up, took Hermione's hand and lead her to his bedroom. He started to kiss her once more as she sat on the bed. With out breaking the kiss, Severus started to unbutton her robes. So did Hermione. Eventually, all their cloths were on the floor, She laid down and Severus were now on top of her, kissing her neck.

"Severussssss….." Hermione moaned in his ear.

"Yes?" Severus asked.

"I need you inside me NOW please!" Hermione commanded. Severus didn't need to be told twice. As he began to thrust inside her. Their hips moved as one. Both Screamed their names to encourage them. Harder and a harder he thrust in side her, deep inside her.

"OH SEVERUS!"

"HERMIONE! MY SWEET HERMIONE!" They called out to each other….as sweat poured down their trembling bodies.

Severus had thrust inside her a couple more times, he was able to fall next to her before he was to tired and crush her. He wrapped her up in his arms and kissed her.

"Oh, Severus, that was….amazing." Hermione said and kissed him on the lips. Severus smiled brightly.

" you are amazing beautiful." Severus said. and with that, the lovers fell asleep in each other's arms.
