Hermione POV

Hermione could not explain how happy she was. The feeling of his lips on hers was the best thing she had ever felt. She wondered if it would always be like this, If kissing Severus would forever feel this good.

She felt Severus's tongue sweep across her bottom lip, and she gasped in surprise. He slipped inside her mouth, and Hermione could not hold back the small moan. She felt Severus preen at her reaction. He grasped her hips and pulled her even closer to him. After a few minutes she pulled back, needing to catch her breathe. Severus looked down at her, a happy smile on his face.

"I think I'm falling in love with you too Sev." She said. Right after the words left her mouth

He was attacking her lips again. This time, his hands wandered a little lower and she squeaked in surprise. Right as things were starting to get a little more heated, a voice broke their trance.

"What the hell?" Hermione turned to find Lucius staring at them in surprise. The couple pulled away, and Lucius met Hermione's eyes. She could see an array of emotions in those gray orbs. He looked angry and sad, and there was another emotion, one she couldn't quite place

"I'm kissing out girlfriend, what does it look like I'm doing?" She saw Lucius visibly relax when Severus had said 'our girlfriend'. She wondered why that was. Was Lucius scared she was going to leave two for one? That was ridiculous, she couldn't live with that, breaking two peoples hearts. No to mention she liked all three of them very much. Maybe a little too much.

"Well, I've dealt with Potter and his friends, I-" Lucius started, but Hermione cut him off.

"Not Remus I hope. He has been nothing but kind to me since I've gotten here, I would hate to see him get hurt." She could have sworn she saw jealously flash in their eyes, but she must have been mistaken. If they were okay with sharing her, then surely they were alright with her having a male friend...Right?

"No, your friend is fine. I hexed those hooligans all the way to their common room, and then I stuck them to the ceiling." Lucius was wearing a proud smirk, and Hermione let out a giggle.

"That should make for an interesting morning," Hermione said, and Severus wore a soft smile as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Well, as much as I love lingering in the corridor, It is getting late. And I believe we have all have a date for hogsmeade tomorrow." Hermione blushed, and the slytherins both smirked in delight.

They headed to the common room, only to find Regulus asleep on the couch. Hermione thought that he looked so peaceful when he was asleep, and she really didn't want to wake him up. She pointed her wand at him and lifted him in the air. She carried him into his room and onto his bed. She put the covers over him kissed his forehead. She quickly left the room before he could wake up.

She walked back and told Severus and Lucius goodnight, each of them giving her a kiss on the cheek. As she went to sleep that night, she could not stop the grin from spreading on her face.

:::::::::::::::::::::

That morning, as Hermione was going through her trunk to pick out her cloths, Tonks walked in.

"Okay, what the actual fuck happened with Evans last night? and how bad do I need to kick her ass?" Hermione's good mood withered away as she remembered the awful things that Lily had said last night.

"Nothing important." Tonks sent her a glare and got right in her face.

"Hermione, I know you well enough to know when you're lying. Now what did she say?" Tonks voice held no room for nonsense.

"She basically said that I was the Slytherin slut for dating three guys, and that Severus will never love me as much as he loves her." Hermione's voice was meek, something it hadn't been for years. Tonks eyes glossed over in anger and before Hermione could say anything Tonks was already out the door.

Hermione hurried after her.

"Tonks wait! She isn't worth it! Thalia Tonks get your ass back here!" She was stopped in her pursuit as Regulus wrapped his arms around her.

"What's wrong Hermione?" And she watched as Tonks left the common room.

"Tonks is going after Lily. I have to go stop her."

"No, I don't want you in the middle of that fight. You're staying right here." Hermione whipped around so fast that she nearly knocked Regulus over.

"Let's get one thing straight Regulus Black. You will NEVER tell me what to do. You can give your opinion, but you will never order me around. Am I clear?" The fact that Hermione had said this so calmly freaked Regulus even more, and he quickly nodded. Hermione ran out of his grasp, and after Tonks.

Severus POV

Severus was more excited than he had been in a while. Him and the guys were taking Hermione to Hogsmeade this morning, and they had the perfect day planned. He had just went to the kitchens and got some chocolates to give to her, when he heard yelling coming from around the coroner.

"You stupid fucking bitch! You stay the hell away from her! I don't ever want you to speak to her again! Don't even look at her!"

What he saw shocked him. Tonks had Lily Evans up against the wall by her shirt. Lily had blood dripping from her nose and Tonks looked like she had a split lip. Tonks was pulling her arm back to land another punch, when Hermione came running down the hall.

"Thalia stop!" even though Hermione was about a whole foot shorter than Tinks, she still grabbed her arm and pull her back. Tonks shook her off of her arm, and pulled it back again. That was it, Hermione could get hurt, so Severus decided to intervene.

"Tonks stop. Now. She really isn't worth it." He looked sternly at her, but knew it was doing little good.

"But this bitch needs to learn her place-"

"Go back to the common room now. I'm not asking."

She reluctantly let Lily go, but watched with joy as she crumpled to the ground. She glared at her one last time before finally walking away. Hermione was tempted to follow her, but thought that Severus needed her more.

"Are you alright?" Severus started to ask her, but before she could answer, Regulus came up behind them.

"Hermione are you alright? I'm sorry about earlier, but please never run from me again, you scared me." He pulled her into a tight hug and Hermione snuggled into his chest. Of Course a moment so perfect had to be interrupted.

"Oh Severus, I knew you still cared about you for saving me from those evil women." Lily attempted to attach herself to Severus's arm, but he quickly pushed her off. "Severus?"

"Lily, don't get this wrong. I hardly give two shits about you. The only reason you aren't beaten to a pulp is because I didn't want Tonks getting in trouble, and I didn't want Hermione to get hurt. Now, I suggest you leave. And never speak to any of us again." He walked towards Hermione and kissed her on the forehead and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Come on, let's go check on Tonks." She nodded, and they left Lily there, to sulk in her own self pity.

Sirius POV

He watched as Snivellus, Hermione, and his 'brother' left Lily there. This was his chance. He walked to to Lily and put his hand on her shoulder and tried to appear sympathetic

"You okay Lil's?" He asked.

"I want him to suffer Sirius. I want the rest of his life to be sad and pathetic, and she's getting in the way of that?"

"Lilly, I think we can help each other. I want Hermione, even if I have to make her mine by force. And you want her out of the picture. Do you see where this is going?" They both smiled evilly, and Sirius felt a huge wave of happiness wash through him. She was going to be his. Soon.
