Chapter 21
Hermione was grading some papers. It was late she had tried to go to sleep already but she just couldn't. She kept thinking about Severus. Why was she mad at him? Hadn't he just let her back into his life and their child's life? What right did she have to be mad at him for saying something in the heat of the moment that was said to upset someone else not her? If anything he should be the one still mad at her. But no he was the one who had invited her to his rooms again. And what had she done? Threw it in his face. Hermione started to think about it all those nights when she couldn't sleep before she would go out drink and find some random wizard and sleep with him. This was entirely out of character for Hermione but it was how she had been since Severus. All those night with those guys had been to replace the void where Severus love had once been. Since he had come back into her life she been able to sleep perfectly through the night.
So what am I still doing here in my rooms? Hermione asked herself.
She looked at the clock it was 1 in the morning surely he would be asleep. She didn't care she had missed eleven years of sleeping next to him she would be damned if she missed another because of her stupid descions. She out her night robe on and walked out of her rooms. Quietly she walked down to his rooms when she got to them she unlocked the door and walked in. She walked back to his bedroom she quietly walked in took her robe off and crawled into bed next to him. He lifted his head and looked at her. Very slowly he pulled her closer to him. He gently kissed her on the forehead. They were both staring into each others eyes. But to the two of them it seemed more like they were staring into each others souls. At that moment Hermione knew even though she had never planned on being with Severus this was where she belonged. Where she was loved where she felt safe.
Snape kissed her passionately on the lips then looked into her eyes "I love you."
He didn't her for her to say it and she knew that. He knew she loved him it was just something that he knew. He didn't need to hear it the fact that he just knew it made it more special then her saying it.
Hermione stared into his eyes she loved him she really did. She rested her head on his chest she knew no matter where she went this would be the one place she felt the safest. The two lay there together Snape holding Hermione. It was if the whole world had stopped nothing existed outside of that room.
