The next few weeks passed rather quickly and without incident. Hermione and Severus had settled into a friendly-ish routine, both secretly trying to figure out how to get closer to the other. Russie and Mya were quietly biding their time, watching the adults with interest. The children had become increasingly close, much like Severus had been with Lily when he was that age and Hermione was with Ron and Harry when they began their friendship. Both children were uncomfortable with the thought that one day, once they returned to their older selves, they be in love with one another.

"Do you think Uncle Sevie-rus will be all gooey and romantic to her once we go back?" Mya asked with a look of distaste on her little angelic face.

"Gods I hope not. i mean, I know he loves her but if I have to experience him kissing her...it's gonna feel like kissing my sister to me." Russie shuddered and Mya laughed at his face.

"Well looks like you'll have to get used to it. We did decide to get them together after all. I know my older self is in love with yours and vice versa, they belong together, any fool can see that Russie." Mya looked much like her older self as she lectured Russie on why they were there, bushy hair astray and hands on hips.
He knew she was right and he knew both of the adults deserved to be happy. He knew that finally having each other, would create that happiness. His little mind becoming frantic with ideas.


The Halloween Ball was fast approaching and Severus was determined to have Hermione there as his date. She'd be accompanying him anyway as the children were to attend with them. Severus had to admit he thought Albus was stalling in sending the kids back to their original bodies but he was fond of having them around. Severus was pretty sure they had been responsible for a lot of the incidents that had occurred over the past 4 weeks, the movie, the bed, the shower...oh the shower incident. Severus smirked in memory of how the soap suds caressed Hermione's skin and the way she looked while she was playing with herself. Severus was aware of his cock getting hard at the thought.

This wasn't exactly the best time to be thinking sexy thoughts He said to himself, staring at the class of 20 odd pupils in front of him.


Hermione, on the other hand was increasingly worried about the Halloween Ball. After a rather drunken heart to heart with Ginny one weekend she admitted her feelings for Severus to her friend. Ginny thought it was brilliant and started to speak about getting her a sexy costume for the ball to make Severus's mouth water. This made Hermione feel uneasy, although she knew she was a bit of a deviant when it came to sex, the outside world had not seen her seductive, sexy side before...ever. She hoped Severus was going to ask her to go as his date, they'd be escorting the children anyway together.

I want to make him gasp at my appearance and to only have eyes for me at the ball...hmmm but what to go dressed as...

As she racked her brain thinking of all the sexy costume possibilities she smirked as an idea came to her.

Oh yes Severus Snape, you're going to have to watch out. I'm going to make your mouth water at the ball. Mouth watering indeed.


As the foursome sat and eat their dinner in their quarters, Severus coughed loudly to get Hermione's attention.

"Are you alright Severus, you look a fright?" She asked in concern.

Severus nodded wordlessly, trying to ignore his sweaty palms and sudden rise in room temperature.

"Um...the Halloween ball is on Wednesday..." He said in a strained voice.

"Yes I know. I'm looking forward to it, we're going to go costumer shopping tomorrow after class." Hermione smiled at Russie and Mya who were practically jumping with excitement.

"Well...I was um wondering...doyouwannagoasmydate?" His voice was no more than a mere whisper, Hermione heard him regardless but decided to milk it for all it was worth.

"What was that Severus? I don't believe I heard you?" She asked with a smirk, eye brow raised in challenge.

"Do you want to go to the ball as my date?"

She could see he was embarrassed and annoyed now, her heart gave a flutter regardless.
"I'd love to Severus. I thought you'd never ask. What are you going to go as?" She asked with a toothy smile.

Severus's facial features went from relief and happiness to distain. "I will be going as Professor Snape, potions master of Hogwart School of Stupidity and Misery."

Russie and Mya looked at him in disappointment. Why couldn't he just dress up for one night? He should be more grateful that Hermione was going with him.

Mya spoke up,"Auntie Mione, I don't think you should go with Uncle Sevie-rus if he doesn't play dress up like the rest of us. He'll be a party pooper if he doesn't."
Mya Granger was little but she was just as manipulative as her older companion Russie, he winked at her in approval.

"You may be right Mya. Come on Severus, it'll be fun for the kids. It doesn't need to be anything over the top, just a subtle costume. Please?" She flashed him her most dazzling smile while batting her eyelashes.

Now it was his heart that fluttered. This woman was going to be the death of him.

"Oh fine. Whatever keeps you bloody women off my case!"

Hermione and Mya both squealed and clapped their hands in delight. Severus and Russie rolling their eyes simultaneously, they were such girls!
