Clocks strike eleven hours.

Almost midnight.

Hetty was stepping across the Prefects bathroom, all alone, holding a towel in her hand.

Could he forget ? Or not take it seriously ? Or Dolores might heard me, and she done something to him ! I should check him-

Her breath caught in her throat, when somebody entered the bathroom. She swiftly hid behind the pillar.

But after few seconds she recognized the steps so different from characteristic tapping of high-heels. She smiled, biting her lip to stifle some unwanted sound, that might escape her lips, she looked over the pillar carefully, spotting Severus.

Putting the towel to the crook of her elbow, and silently stepping out of her slippers, as she watched him, unseen, walking to the already filled warm bath with lot of foam.

Trying to be the most quiet as she could, she crept behind him , and covered his eyes with her palms.

,,Guess who ?'' she whispered, soft grin spreading upon her face.

She only heard his chuckle, before he put his palms on hers, covering them.

,,My Muse, who else ?'' he put her palms away, turning to her, and looking down at her, how she glowed, enlightened by the moon glow, coming from tall windows of the bathroom.

,,What took you so long ? Something happened ?'' Hetty stroked his cheek, making him smile, and melt to her touch.

,,Nothing, I just didn't want anybody to see me, so I was going to come later at night, how long have you been here ?'' Severus wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her closer, and hugging her to his chest.

,,Well, that's not important. Important is, that you are here,'' she smiled, nuzzling to his set chest, and hugging him back.

,,I can see you really prepared the bath for us. I don't remember, when it was the last time we did this,'' he nearly smirked, looking at the bath with foam, and bubbles flying across the bathroom.

,,I do remember, and I remember exactly what you said to me back then,'' Hetty nodded, slightly backing away and start working her buttons of her blouse.

,,Really ? What was that ?'' Severus looked at her, crossing his hands on his chest.

,,No, no, you have to remember on your own,'' her hands on her hips as she stopped, looking at him.

,,Alright, was it about school ?'' he tried, watching her.

,,No,'' Hetty grinned, buttoning back one button.

,,Was it some reaction on the bath or this place ?''

,,No,'' Hetty chuckled, buttoning another button on her blouse back.

,,But this is not fair,'' Severus protested, as her hands landed on her hips again.

,,I'm not going to strip, before you guess right,'' she smirked now, looking at him. She can play such games too, when he can.

,,Alright, was it something about you and me ?''

,,Yes,'' Hetty nodded, undoing one button, as Severus took one step closer.

,,Was it about my affection to you ?'' taking another slow step to her, as she nodded and undone another button.

,,Yes.''

,,Was it, something special about you ?''

,,Yes,'' Hetty breathed, when he was now so close, enough to undone another button by himself, her blouse falling open, exposing her body for his touch.

He trailed his fingers up from her flat stomach, goosebumps making on her skin, when her eyes fluttered, and she nearly collapsed to his embrace, her hands catching his arms as an support.

,,I already know,'' he smiled, when she opened her eyes, and he could see, stars falling to those chocolate orbs, as from the wide window, and the moon glow.

,,Really ?'' her voice nothing more than a whisper.

,,It was right here, you were standing like this, and the very same stars were swimming in your eyes. And due them, I realized how beautiful they are, and how beautiful you are in my arms…and I told you…I can see my unborn children in your eyes,'' Severus haven't twitched his eyes from hers, watching how she now completely melted to his embrace, swallowing lightly. ,,Is that right ?''

,,Yes…exactly…'' she was amazed her remembered, she smiled, tiptoeing and her lips gently meeting his.

When he broke the kiss, he whispered hotly against her plump lips ,,It is still the truth. You are the same beautiful.''

His hands circled her waist, beneath her blouse, caressing her bare skin as he kissed her again.

She was happy in his arms, and happy he'd remembered, even though he didn't know, he wasn't the only one who said this to her.

It flashed her mind, like it was yesterday, when Sirius told her the very same phrase, when they spent some time after his escape from Azkaban, in her house.

,,I loved you for long. I already loved you since school…but I wasn't such lucky as Damien was, who spent with you more time than me, and charmed you enough, that you married him. I was so glad for you, and when I heard about your children, I was cheering, that my great friend had family. So now I fully understand your grief, and your pain…'' Sirius was hugging her, as she lied with her back against his chest, looking up at the stars on the little hill behind her small house.

,,You know…with you, it's not that painful, as it was, when I was day and night alone in here…it's different. And I am glad I have you Sirius,'' she petted his arms, which was wrapped around her waist.

,,Hetty…''

,,Yes ?'' she looked up at him, finding his grey eye.

,,You know, every time you look at me, I feel less like a fugitive, and more like a man I used to be…you breathed life into my soul, and after near experience of Dementor's kiss…I am grateful, to my God son, that he enabled me, to be with you here like this…in other words…I really love you-''

,,-I know, you're telling me every day,'' Hetty smiled, stroking his cheek.

,,But mean it real…I want to live with you, not just keep surviving,'' He forced her to narrow by her own need to look in his eyes. ,,And each time I see those two sparkling eyes, I know it's because of me…I swear to God I would do anything to keep those sparkles in your eyes. You know….let it sound crazy…I can see my future in your eyes. The life with you, my unborn children, our home, no more hiding…happiness…'' Sirius smiled before he kissed her gently, making her cry, but not form pain, but from happiness.

,,What are you thinking of ?'' Severus looked in Hetty's eyes, tearing her from her thoughts, she forget for a while she was kissing him.

,,I-e-em, the bath will cool down, we should-'' she swallowed clearing her throat ,,-we should go in, if we want to not freeze there.''

,,Yes,'' Severus smiled, starting to strip himself, just as Hetty did rolling down her skirt.

What was that supposed to mean ?! Why am I thinking of what Sirius said to me, when I do have Severus in front of me ?! ….I'm already mad due Dolores and her sadistic ordeal…

Shaking slightly with her head, considering it, as the main problem, of the past, since form now on she won't be visiting her office even when she urged her to. She was firmly decided, and she needed to be free, and to release her worries finally.

Which she could only with Severus, and that perfect warm bath.

Slipping to him as he was already naked sitting in big bath, his lower body covered under water with loads of foam.

Hetty grinned when he offered a hand, to help her sit next to him. She noticed his left forearm, the Dark Mark visible again, the skin around near red.

,,It has to be tortuous…'' she sighed, her fingers lightly touching it, as he nodded.

,,It is, but I'm trying to not think of it so much,'' Severus breathed partly in hiss, when he felt her touch on the tattoo, like it was some wound. Trailing her hand up his arm, and to his shoulder.

Leaning forward to him, she whispered ,,Close your eyes.''

,,Why should I-''

,,-Close your eyes,'' Hetty repeated, and after he looked in her eyes, he did as she asked him to.

Taking his hands, and standing up, half bodies in warm water, leading him across the bath.

She led him to the other side of bath, to the tall windows, where the Siren was, and behind the taps, from which the water was floating.

,,Do you remember yet on something ?'' she asked , when she stopped, putting her palms on his chest, to stop him too.

,,Not clearly,'' he uttered, but hugging her sides, his naked front touched hers, she stifled a groan from excitement.

Taking one his hand, and leading it, behind the taps, that his fingertips touched the cold stone of the windows pillar. He felt the surface not smooth, neither usual as for stone, but something scratched and then it flashed his mind.

Only then he opened his eyes, looking where his fingers where touching the pillar, and he could see a scratched heart, with two big letters in it.

'H' + 'S' Always…

,,Always…'' Hetty read the add beneath the heart, as Snape nodded.

,,You conjured it, that nobody can see it, except of us…that's why, it's still there. Otherwise it could be gone long ago…''

,,So you do remember,'' she smiled innocently at him, her eyes blinking, as she ran her hands around his neck.

,,Yes I do,'' his hands on her back, as he clutched her closer.

She felt him growing in his lower zone, and she finally freed her mind, succumbing to him, and his presence, and his body, muttering ,,Take me…''

Severus' lips descended on hers, making her whine to his mouth fully now. His hands slid lower, using the grip at her bottom to raise her body slightly up, and her legs to circle his hips under water. She grabbed firmly at his shoulders, letting him caress her mouth with his loving kisses, and nips, while his cock rubbed her slit.

,,I love you Hetty…I will love you forever, until the word 'love' completely lose its purpose,'' he greedily muttered against her lips, during penetrating her by one swift thrust, she moaning across the bathroom.

Kissing her endless, that they both panted in need of breath, when Sevy start fluently moving within her, gently supporting her back against the cold stony edge of bath, her head leaned to the window, her face under the glow of moon again.

,,Sevy,'' she cried, feeling his lips moving away from her mouth, and back to her tiny spot, where the hickey was, she turned her head in favor to bite to his neck, causing his growl.

,,Hetty…'' mumbling to her neck with each kiss, lick or suck on her spot, between small gasps with every rough stroke.

,,Love me,'' she cried even more , her kisses aiming from his neck, along the shape and to his shoulder, and slowly back, her hands scratching and clutching at his back.

His hands teasing her breasts briefly, before holding her sides protectively again. Speeding up, and spreading feather-light kisses across her chest. With each rougher stroke, he made her wilder, that her kisses on his chest, were becoming gentle bites, until she start leaving small marks, making him growl in affection.

His audible responses making her aroused yet even more, that she felt that wanted pleasure making its way through her.

His member thumping inside her, rubbing her just as his fingers start rubbing her clit, making her cry louder, that her head in a while lolled back against the window, she moaning.

,,Oohh…ohh…yes….mmm-please…yes…ohh-will…will…'' Hetty catching her breath, when his tip touched that delicious place within her inner walls, and his lips nibbled her tiny spot on her neck.

Suddenly he narrowed, never breaking his pace, and the touch on her hip and on her breast, though he start trailing his hand down her front to caress more of her skin.

,,Open your eyes –I want to –see you…see those stars…in your eyes –when you're reaching orgasm…with me-'' Panting between thrusts, when her eyes fluttered.

Fighting them open, nearly filled with tears, but not from pleasure, but from his words, she sobbed, looking in his black eyes, when she screamed through a moan, climaxing, her nails running down his back, leaving red marks, but neither one of them cared at the moment.

Hetty saw clearly his smile, before he nuzzled his forehead to hers, and kissed her to smother his own climax with his final thrust.

Her chest heaving, but she bravely kissed him back, not getting enough of him, she pressed his chest as close to hers as was possible to feel him.

,,Thank you,'' he gasped after breaking the kiss. ,,Thank you…''

Hetty smiled, kissing him again, his hands raising her from the edge of bath, and sliding her off him, but never breaking their mouth connection.

They just stood there, in bath, half body in water, covered with white foam, kissing, cuddling.

,,Ahmm-what a view,'' they heard tiny girlish voice, being interrupted, that they both clutched to each other after hearing it, looking all around from where it was coming from.

,,Up here,'' the voice giggled, as they followed the words, and looked above them, spotting Moaning Myrtle, waving at them from above.

She flew down, landing on one edge of the bath.

,,Myrtle,'' Hetty breathed, hugging Severus even more, in relief it wasn't anybody harmful.

,,Yes, who'd you expected ?'' ghost mockingly laughed at them. ,,That small woman, who's now called the headmistress ?''

,,Actually ? Yes,'' Snape admitted right away, trying to press his body to Hetty's that he might cover himself.

,,Come on Severus, I haven't seen you two within other for long time, and I have to say…I enjoyed it, just as usually…you both haven't changed. Neither one of you,'' Myrtle giggled, pointing at them, while she circled them all around.

,,You were watching ?'' Snape almost shockingly asked.

,,Again ?'' Hetty smirked, nuzzling to Severus.

,,Mhmm-'' Myrtle uttered innocently. ,,I couldn't deny. You are so passionate, you always were. You're just…more mature, and intense. I like it !'' she waved with her brows, while sitting on the place where they were sitting at the beginning.

,,I have to say, you are more entertaining, than that so called headmistress…'' Myrtle sighed, looking at the bubbles all around.

Hetty stiffened ,,Wait, what do you mean by that ?''

,,She was here ?'' Severus quickly asked, looking at Myrtle.

Ghost of little girl nodded ,,Yes, every second night, sometime around midnight-''

,,-When ? Which days ?'' Hetty yelped, her fingers digging into Sevy's shoulders.

,,Tonight…I was awaiting her, and instead I saw you preparing a bath, so I stayed for a chance I might see something more interesting, and –I wasn't mistaken !'' Myrtle chuckling yet even more.

Like a flash strike into both, they start crawling off the bath, and swiftly drying each other with towel, dressing up.

,,Tonight is the free evening, and tomorrow I should go there, but I won't so, I expected she can kill me only tomorrow, not tonight, if she find us two here !'' Hetty harshly buttoning her blouse, when Sevy took on his robe.

,,Shh-shh-shh-calm down, she won't find us okay, and if, she won't hurt you, ever again I promise,'' he hugged her, trying to sooth her, effectively, since she smiled.

,,I won't tell her, you were here, since you pleased me, by such surprising visit, but you certainly has to come again,'' Myrtle begged, ghosting around them.

,,Only if she's not here…we're in dangerous if we're near her-'' Hetty's voice stuck in her throat, when they suddenly heard that tapping.

,,No-no-no-no-no-'' her voice nothing more than a whisper, when Severus covered her mouth with his palm, and tugged her away from the middle of the room.

,,Use the mirror secret passage,'' Myrtle pointed at the penultimate mirror long to the floor. ,,It will lead you to the Tapestry Corridor, trust me,'' she whispered as the doors of bathroom audibly opened. Hetty gasped to Severus' palm, when he opened the mirror, and nodded in silent thanks to Myrtle.

Pushing Hetty into the secret passage, and closing mirror behind them, they heard tapping echoing across the bathroom.

Forcing Hetty to walk, she suddenly gasped again, turning to him and whispering ,,My shoes ! I left there my shoes, when I was looking at you from behind a corner ! What if she find them…what if she find them-and-and figure out-and-''

,,-Hetty,'' Severus whispered back, hugging her. ,,I told you, I will protect you haven't I ? If she notice, and say or try to do anything towards you, I swear I will stop her before she can even wave her wand !'' his voice harsh, as he was trying to sooth Hetty.

His look in his eyes giving her strength and courage again, she nodded, kissing him, and letting him guide her through the dark passage, with Lumos from his wand, until they really reached the Tapestry Corridor.

From there they both quickly ran through the corridors, and downstairs, until they were safety locked, in Severus' bedroom in dungeons.
