Disclaimer: All things Harry Potter here all belong to JK Rowling. If Harry Potter had been my idea, Severus would have lived, shunned the memory of that good for nothing excuse of a friend Lily and hooked up with an older Hermione who is both his intellectual, sexual and powerful equal.
Also, please do remember that this is FAN fiction – should I change the rules of the story such as using electricity in Hogwarts, it is because I am the author and can do stuff like that. You don't like it? Please go and read the actual books because that is the only way you will find anything canon to Harry Potter.

I really love nothing more than hearing back from your reviews. I have a number of fans who have been following my stories and their progress from my very first story but I have never heard an actual word on what they thought. So please, do not be scared, leave me a wee message and let me know what you think. It only takes a minute to review and it's only fair since I have spent many hours writing up these stories. PS my PMs are not letting me reply for some reason so please do not think I am ignoring you, I would never do that and as soon as FF sort this problem, I will reply to the many PMs I have been sent over the past week.
I really hope you enjoy this one and again, thank you all for your continued support.
Hermione awoke to the sound of a motorbike engine outside of the cottage the next morning.
"Who the fuck is that at this time of the morning?" She muttered under her breath, she turned to see Severus snoring quietly, his gorgeously naked torso on show with one hand draped lazily over her waist. She smiled at that.
I could so get used to this. She thought before casting the tempus charm to find out the time.
"Fuck me! Severus we've slept in…" She shrieked as there was a knock at the front door.
"Go back to sleep…know it all…" Severus mumbled without opening an eye.
Hermione growled in frustration, jerking Severus awake with a shove.
"What the bloody hell, Granger!?" He sneered, sitting up with a scowl on his face.
Ok so he is not a morning person or rather he doesn't like being shoved awake. She thought with a grimace.
"Your father, I am assuming it's him anyway, is currently knocking on the front door. It is 12 o'clock in the afternoon which means that we have grossly overslept! Now get your arse in gear and go answer the door. I am certainly not opening the door in my nightdress unless you want your father to see me in such a state of undress?" She smirked remembering how Severus had become jealous when his father flirted with her at the cafes a few days before.
Severus's eyes slowly slid down her body appreciatively before he scowled at her once again, "Fine. I will bloody answer the door. Cover yourself up woman, I do not want him to see you dressed so scantily, it is inappropriate."
"Inappropriate for whom, may I ask?" She raised an eyebrow in a very Severus like fashion.
"Only I should…" Severus struggled as he tried to explain, "…we have not had our discussion so I cannot pass comment at this moment." He ruffled his hair as he got out of bed and pulled on a shirt.
"Oh come on Severus… tell me." She pushed with a coy smile.
Severus rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, staring her down. "Alright I will tell you. You must change your attire because I do not want my father or any other man seeing you in such a state of dress."
Hermione stood up from the bed, making sure to sway her hips as she walked towards him with a smirk on her face. "You don't want any other man seeing me in such a state of dress because…?"
Severus began to fidget, "…because…"
Hermione was standing straight in front of him now, her face mere inches away from his own.
"…yes?" She pushed.
"… Because, you are mine and I refuse to share you." He growled out.
"Oh? Is that all? Good, I was afraid you were going to say that you didn't like what I was wearing in general. Now get your shirt on… I don't want any of the local girls to catch a glimpse of what a sexy body you have. If I am yours then you are mine and mine only. Hurry now, your father is waiting patiently at the door." Hermione flashed him a brilliantly bright smile as she stood on her tip toes and kissed the tip of his nose before running from the room and slamming the bathroom door behind her.
Severus stood for a moment, unable to catch his breath. He had finally told her that he wanted her and she was pleased about it. She said he was hers… she sounded possessive but Severus found that he quite liked it. A woman had never been possessive of him before; it made him feel wanted. It made him finally feel as though he meant something to someone. He felt like dancing a jig as he walked to the front door to greet his father. Severus Snape was finally going to get his girl.
It was sometime later before Hermione emerged from the bathroom looking and smelling like dream. Both Severus and Tobias stopped mid conversation to appreciate the sight of her as she waltzed into the room.
"Good afternoon, Hermione." Tobias said silkily, pressing a light kiss on the top of her hand, enjoying the way his son tutted and rolled his eyes at the scene.
"Hello Tobias. Are you well?" She asked with a bright smile; she just couldn't seem to stop smiling, she was so happy.
"Indeed I am. More well than I have ever been. I have my family back and I could not be happier at the chance Severus has given me. My attempts at explaining to him would have all been for nought had it not been for you. You will never know how much I value your friendship to my son, you are good for him."
"…as he is for me." Hermione answered, her eyes never leaving the sexy dark potions master. Severus smiled at her, his eyes bright and kind so full of love for the woman in front of him.
"Oh so that's how it is eh? You move fast son. A few days ago you were merely colleagues but it seems that things have progressed?" Tobias asked with a grin. Hermione could not help but recognise that Tobias was indeed a very handsome man despite his advancing years. It was not hard to see where Severus had inherited the dark eyes and sexy voice from at all but she still had to admit that no one could beat her Severus.
Her Severus. She almost squealed at the thought.
Severus again tutted and tried, rather unsuccessfully, to hide his own pleased grin, "Yes father we have finally admitted that we are interested in more than just friendship but we have yet to gain an opportunity to properly discuss it so until we have I will not be talking about the subject until the good lady here and I have spoken first."
"Ah, so my flirtatious ways finally knocked him into action. Good, good! Well let's have our little update on yours and my lives and I will let you and this beautiful witch get down to the nitty gritty of discussions." Again Tobias grinned before taking a small sip of tea, his eyes playful.
"Will you stop winding him up?" Hermione chuckled, "I will, no doubt, see you soon Tobias and I will see you in a short while Severus." She smiled at them both before leaving the room.
"Hermione…"
Just as she was about to leave the house, she turned to find Severus in the doorway of the living room. He quickly but quietly closed the door before slowly walking towards her.
He slipped one hand through her hair and rested it against her neck, the other found solace on her small, curvy waist. His forehead touched hers as their eyes made contact, "One hour."
"I promise." She whispered, trying to stop her heart from beating out of her chest.
"Be careful…" He whispered back before he slowly and sensually touched her lips with his. The sensation they both felt was explosive; hairs standing on end, goose-bumps. Her hands gripped at his collar, as they delved deeper into the kiss. Their bodies were now as close as they could be fully clothes as they kissed away years of frustration and hidden attraction. Severus's large hands now grabbed Hermione's rather stacked behind as he pressed her against the wall. Their tongues began to battle for dominance, the lower halves of their bodies seeming to press so close that it would soon become painful; begging to join together in the most carnal of acts. They just couldn't get enough of each other.
"Ahem, hem…" came from the doorway.
The pair shot apart as if they were guilty, horny teenagers, looking up to find Tobias Snape looking rather amused.
"If you two could refrain from dry humping against the lobby wall while I visit, it would be much appreciated."
Severus had the grace to blush, "Dad…please… bugger off for a second will you?"
"Certainly. Good bye Hermione." He sniggered before disappearing behind the wooden door.
Hermione giggled before giving Severus another but smaller kiss, "I'll be back in an hour… then we can talk… and maybe do some more kissing?"
Severus gave out a low, breathy chuckle, "Sounds like a plan. Hurry back."
He kissed her lips once more before drawing his heated gaze from her flushed face and entering the other room with his father.
Hermione touched her lips in disbelief, "Well, fuck me sideways. He's finally mine."
Severus and Tobias heard her giggle as she slammed the door and made her way down to Daniel and David's cottage.
