A/N nothing special here but don't flame me for what i'm about to do. also passion warning, no not lemons but intence kissing scenes coming up. this whole chapter is from Severus's POV
Chapter 11: everything i do, I do it for you;
Severus watched Meghan play with Sirin. Lucious said they couldn't stay long it was only due to Voldemort being in Romania that he could come at all. Watching Meg with the baby made his heart swell, he smiled and Luc saw this.
"A word brother?"
Severus stood and walked to the small kitchenette in their quaters, he poured two cups of coffee and leaned back against the counter "Something wrong? besides the obvious?"
Luc shook his head and looked into the living room where Meghan held the baby
"She looks natural with a child," Luc said chuckling.
"Indeed, but that's not what you want to discuss," Severus said arching a brow.
"Have you told her?"
"No."
"I see..have you at least told her you love her?"
"No."
A sigh
"Lucious, if i die protecting Potter do you think i want her to carry around the idea of my loving her ? She'd never move on.." Severus said.
"And what if she dies? What if you lived and she dies..she'd never know."
"I won't let that happen..."
"You're not stronger than him Severus..he could kill her in a moment without you blinking.."
Severus fell silent and looked at his cup
"You must tell her.."
"I..."
"Put aside the fear Severus, do what you know you need to."
He nodded and put his cup down, the two walked back to the living area as the baby began crying "here, she doesn't llike me" meghan said chuckling
"She just wants a bottle..." Lucious said as Severus lifted the child , instantly she stopped crying "Or not.."
They watched in amazment as the baby curled up against his shoulder and went to sleep
"hm.." Luc raised a brow
Meghan giggled
"Seems you have an admirier brother,"
"i um.." looking at the childs face he couldn't help but smile, she looked nothing like black, and the oddest thing was, she had hair similar to Severus. Her eyes had been a dark blue and it reminded him of Meg. Sirin could pass as his and Meghans daughter if he wanted her to!
He kissed the childs head and gently handed her to Lucious "Keep her safe.."
Meghan smiled and took his hand, he took a shakey breath and sat down as his brother left.
Summer came and went, nothing special happen except Luc brought Sirin to Spinners End. He'd told Voldemort the child was locked up due to her chewing and biting but in fact she had spent a happy summer with Meghan and Severus. He had fallen head over heels for the baby, and so had Meghan.
"She has your nose.." meghan said giggling
"Merlin i hope not.." he said chuckling
"She does look like you Severus.." she said smiling
"She has your eyes Meghan," he pointed out
"How is Lucious going to play her off as being a Malfoy? they are all blonds.."
"I have an idea...but i'm not sure how you'll feel about this," he said twitching
"let's hear it," she said tilting her head
"Let's adopt her ourselves." he said flatly
She blinked and looked at the baby then to Severus "Us?"
"Why not? She looks just like us Meghan," he said
"SO you want to pass her off as ours? but what of Voldemort?"
"Once he's gone we can talk more about this, but the idea of us having a baby isn't unheard of, hell Remus already thinks we're sleeping together."
She laughed "well he's not to far off, we do tend to fall asleep in the same bed."
"No love..i mean he thinks we ..do more than sleep.." he said with a small smile
She turned red and looked down "oh."
"Indeed," Severus said chuckling
"I'm ..not ready for that..we...we..we aren't dating , we just i can't.."
"Meghan, sweetheart calm down, I'm not asking you to do that," he said frowning "I'm saying Remus thought at one time we had but i set him straight."
"ok.." she whispered softly and swallowed a sigh.
"I'm sorry i brought this up, you're still nervous and i shouldn't be even speaking of such things," he said rubbing his forehead.
"I'm not nervous per say, just ...mad.."
"Mad? at what dearest?" he asked frowning.
She got up and placed Sirin in the crib before sitting back down "At you, it's been nearly three years since we spoke of taking things slow and you haven't once tried to kiss me like you did that day or ask me to be your girlfriend, it's honestly..well it's pissing me off Severus!"
He opened his mouth then closed it, then opened it again but nothing came out. He was speechless. He looked at her, tears seemed to be pooling in her eyes as he sat there saying nothing, dear merlin...He moved slowly at first, then growled as he heard her whimper, his lips crashed against hers. He couldn't get enough of her at the moment, it had felt like years since he'd kissed her. She whimpered again and it pulled a growl from his throat, he turned and now had her beneath him, their bodies meshed so perfectly even on the couch. She sighed as his lips connected with hers again, then, as soft and light as could be, she moaned. At first Severus thought he had hurt her, but upon opening his eyes and looking down at her, she had nothing but love in her eyes, it made his hunger deepen, he lowered his head slower this time, a slow kiss. He couldn't breath, didn't want to, he wanted to stay in this moment forever. Screw this war, he didn't care, as long as he could die right here in this moment and never have to leave her. He pulled back for her to breath, his forehead against her own.
"Be mine.." he whispered. It wasn't a question but a demand.
"I've always been yours Severus," she whispered
He growled again and moved to kiss her, FINALLY she belonged to him. He had her now, and he be damned if he would ever let go. She whimpered against his lips, he moaned and moved to trail kisses down her neck "I'm sorry.." he was panting.
"It's ok.." she whispered breathing hard "I know it's hard waiting."
"I'd wait for you forever," he said kissing her jaw.
She smiled and combed her fingers through his hair "So i'm your girlfriend now?'
"Mmm,"he closed his eyes and sighed "yes, your mine and you're never leaving."
She giggled and kissed his jaw "that a fact?"
He growled and kissed her again, this time it was a possessive kiss, hard and soft at the same time, he caught her lower lip and bit it gently before pulling back and nuzzling her neck "Need I prove you're mine?"
"Perhaps..."
He growled and reined himself in , she was testing him and driving him over the edge of sanity! He growled, a low possessive growl, bending he kissed the junction of her neck and shoulder "Then hold on tight."
His teeth closed around the skin, her fingers fisted in his hair as she cried out, he'd BITTEN her?! when he tasted blood, he pulled back and spoke a small spell, the blood and pain left her but the mark was still there, now tattooed on her skin "Now, you are mine."
Luc came to get Sirin at the end of Summer, Meghan and Severus's relationship had blossomed. They spent nights just watching the fire, holding onto each other or kissing softly. They rarely broke contact unless one had to shower or they cooked. Even then one would help the other and brush fingers against the others. Severus was addiment about not pushing Meghan to go beyond kissing. he told her he wouldn't and he himself wasn't ready regardless of how their long kissing sessions made him riled up. He would not do that to her. she loved him for it. Once school rolled around, a growing feeling of dread spread over them, she knew the war was about to come to a head. Harry had turned a year old and James boasted that voldemort wasn't stupid enough to try anything because he had figured out that his family was powerful. Severus snorted, he was a fool, and if he didn't stop he'd get his whole family killed.
"Was the matter?" Meghan asked one night as he sat up in bed, it was near Halloween and he hadn't felt right all day.
"Nothing sweetheart, go back to sleep," he said kissing her head
"No something's wrong, you haven't been yourself today," she said up on the couch and tilted her head "what's going on in that head of yours?"
He sighed and rested said head against her shoulder "I have a feeling Voldemorts going to attack soon. He's not stupid enough to try to attack the school, but he's going to go after James and his family. I need..Meghan I need to leave for a while.."
"You're going to try to stop him aren't you?" she asked in a hushed whisper.
He nodded
"When?"
"Tomorrow morning.." he whispered.
She hugged him close and closed her eyes "Promise me something?"
"Anything.." he said softly
"come back to me.."
He pulled back and kissed her softly "Death couldn't drag me away from you. I've come to the conclusion that I need you like I need air. You're my hearts beat Meghan."
Now..now was the time "I'm in love with you." his confession was spoken softly and honestly. Her eyes darkened, then flashed with love "Im in love with you too Severus."
He kissed her then, his heart swelling nearly out of his chest, he leaned back on the couch and let her straddle his lap, his fingers fisting in her hair as he tried to hold onto her like an anchor. She gave just as good as she received and bit his lower lip, her fingers grabbing his hair to hold on for dear life..
"Say it again," he said in a deep hoarse voice
"I love you," she said whimpering as she tried to get back to his lips,
"Again.." he demanded as he brought them a breath apart
"I love you," she whispered.
"Again.." he said looking into her eyes.
"I love you Severus Snape,"
He kissed her.
Then spent the night curled into each other, just talking and kissing and holding hands. he woke up early that morning, and pulled off his shirt. She watched him , her hair sprayed across the pillow. He turned as he slipped on another shirt , not buttoning it yet. Seeing her watching him, he smiled and walked over to cup her cheek "Be safe.."
"Always," he whispered before kissing her gently "I have a reason to live."
she smiled against his lips and sat up "Let me have your shirt.."
He took the shirt he'd slept in and gave it to her "stealing my clothes again?"
She said nothing as she pulled it over her tank top and buttoned it.
"Stay inside today, stay right here until I get back, it's Halloween so i'm sure the old fools planned a ball, but don't leave for anything, and don't open the door. Understood?"
She nodded.
He started to get up, but she pulled him down and kissed him hard, pulling him atop her on the bed "Make.."
"No." he whispered shaking his head "I won't."
"But..."
"Meghan, I will not make you completely mine until after we're married,"
"IS that a proposal?" she asked smiling
"Wait until Christmas and you'll see." he said kissing her head. He once again started to stand, but she pulled him down again "Love i'll never leave if you kee..mmm" he shut up as she kissed him again, a slow kiss "you marked me, and it's my turn."
She didn't ask for permission, she simply moved his shirt off his shoulder and kissed the junction of his neck and shoulder like he had, he cursed and moaned as he felt her teeth gripping his flesh, he held back his head and shivered, damn it was hard not to take her up on her offer right now! but he refused, and panted as she licked the blood off his skin. He swallowed hard, hearing her cast the same spell he had when he cleaned her wound and marked her skin. He glanced over and a similar mark to her own lay on his shoulder. He smirked "Now you belong to me," she said laying back.
HIs eyes flashed with passion, with love and hunger, he watched her lay back, her hair sprayed against the pillow, her lips red from biting his skin, he kissed her gently "I've always been yours."
After casting a small sleeping charm over her, he kissed her head and watched her for a moment, if he died tonight he'd die a happy man. He resumed getting dressed and before he left he left a small note for her. Simply saying he'd return when he could and that he loved her.
He used the fireplace to Floo to Grimmwauld place, then himself and Sirius, who'd finally came back because of Harry, went to James'. The night air was thick, it smelt of wood and wine, the villagers were out drinking and laughing. It was a cold Halloween. Sirius paced, Severus kept making sure the charms were set. Lily and james stayed in Harry's room.
Nearly midnight..a large winged horse came into the room, a patrounus "he's coming."
Severus stood and nodded to Sirius, the male shifted into his dog form and Severus cloaked himself on the outside of Harry's door. An image of James came running down the stairs as the door shot open "Lily, take Harry and go, it's him!"
"AVADA KADBRA!" the image of james fell straight back and proudly to the floor, the charm was working. The dog slipped slowly toward the landing, but stopped as Voldemort came up the steps , Harry's door opened and he moved inside
The imagine of Lily screamed, but something was wrong, it was a real scream "SHIT SIRIUS NOW!" Severus blocked off the stairwell so the death eaters couldn't get up them, he moved into the room and saw Voldemort holding his wand up at the woman and child.
"Welll now..the man I never have been able to get. How isss it you have turned from darkness to light? I offered you the world!"
"I have the world Voldemort, and nothing you can offer will ever take that from me,"
He snorted and turned "Time to die little Mudblood! Avada.."
Severus cast the charm just as the green light shot from the wand, lily's arm was hit, the color of the spell turned a dark red then hit harry in the face, the child began to cry, but the light exploded and shot back toward the dark lord, it twisted in green and red and finally hit the male in the heart, his screams were ear piercing, James grabbed Lily and held her tightly, Sirius finally threw back the other death eaters and ran into the room. Voldemort was gone, nothing but his cloak remained.
Lily had lived, but she'd lost the use of her arm, it had to be amputated due to the curse hitting it, but she lived. While James took Lily to St Mungos Severus had alerted the order and they swept into Godric' hollow to begin rounding up the death eaters.
The battle was won, but the war? no the war was far from over, Voldemort sympathizers were now attacking Hogwarts, trying to get to Dumbledore and the muggle born students within, hearing this Severus quickly sent word to Lucious to get Meghan out, while Severus and the other members of the order faught to keep the death eaters and werewolves at bay, a large russet Borneo Bay Cat came screeching from the doors, Severus had no idea who's animagus this was, but it crept toward him and attacked anything that got near him. He hadn't thought of his animagus form, and wasn't sure if he could infact shift after so long without doing so, but he wasnt worried about that at the moment. The cat jumped upon a werewolf that had gotten close to Severus and was now clawing it's throat, Severus pushed back severus werewolves with his spell, and as morning light spilled over the grounds, the end of the first war came to a close. Bodies of death eaters and Aurors lay scattered here and there, some alive, some dead. The cat was now sitting near Severus , it's tail flicking as it watched the man.
He moved over and knelt to look at it, or rather she, her eyes were a dark blue and the cat seemed to be laughing at him softly , "You little minx.."
She let out a purr and nuzzled his hand before shifting and throwing her arms around him, "Are you unhurt?"
"Yes but i'm mad as hell at you," he said pulling Meghan close
"Oh come now, do you think I was about to let you have all the fun?" she asked
"Meghan you could have been killed," he said holding her tighter against him.
"You wouldn't have let me,"
"I didn't even know it was you!" he said angrly
"mm, shut up sev." she kissed him roughly and he returned it , he deepened it and pushed her against a wall that had crumbled. He was mad, angry, but he kissed her with nothing but passion and love. he drew back and lay his forehead against hers "are you hurt at all? even a scratch from those werewolves and .."
"I'm fine my love," she whispered softly and hugged him tightly "It's finally over?"
"Yes.." he said closing his eyes.
"I love you Severus."
He smiled.
The news traveled fast, those in hiding had finally came out, and the wizarding world had gone a bit crazy in celebrating. Sirius on the other hand was taken into custody shortly after the war due to him shouting his victory all over muggle london and in his drunken happy state, he'd attacked an Auror. There was nothing infact that James could do and the male was given five years in Azkaban.
Severus and Meghan finally got to relax , even though Hogwarts had sent the students home so the castle could be repaired, they stayed to help, but mostly just to rest. They slept for days not ever leaving each other sides.
A/N Hope this came off as good. I'll begin the next part of this tale later, but i need to plan on what happens. I have only gotten up to this point . Also there's going to be chapters added with several more characters. I'm NOT a Tonks fan, and refuse to let her get to Remus. August and Payne come into play ALOT in the next few years as well as other characters.
