Chapter 35: The Reuniting Of Infallible Hearts
{A/N: Here's Another Update...as per request...}
My Thanks To All My Readers And Reviewers Enjoy -S.S
The Forbidden Forest, Outskirts Of Hogwarts Castle, Wizarding World...
Blurred vision and a good deal of aches and pains in the wake of his latest summons had saw to Potions Professor Severus Snape struggling to remain conscious as he crawled through the forbidden forest in a bid to reach Hogwarts Castle. The despot had been in quite a foul mood ever since his latest ploy had been thwarted by the Aurors. He had taken it upon himself to punish each and everyone of his higher ranking generals for this failure and naturally, Severus couldn't allow Lucius to be beaten within an inch of his life so he foolishly sought to protect him by claiming responsibility for Lucius's failure this go round.
The enraged despot had turned the full brunt of his fury upon the rather bold wizard beating him before the rest of the death eaters in a bid to use him as an example as to why failure isn't to be tolerated. Lucius had been grateful to Severus for his assistance but insisted he return to Malfoy Manor to re-cooperate. Snape refused wanting nothing more than to return to Hogwarts Castle, to return to Hermione given how little they got to see of one another as it were.
The ailing wizard had gotten as far as the border end of the forest when he had been unable to move his battered body any further. He had nearly lost consciousness when he saw what had been the fragmented images of an amber eyed witch with tears streaming down her cheeks as she knelt beside him.
"Severus..." she said pained at the sight of him in such a beaten down state.
He could only reach for her as the last of his strength had left him as well as his consciousness.

Snape's Bedroom, Spinner's End, Cokeworth England, Muggle World...
Obsidian eyes opened to find semi-darkness within the confines of a rather familiar setting greeted the ailing Potions Professor. He attempted to sit up, but was slowed by the sensation of warmth along his chest as he looked down to find that he had not been in bed alone. The familiar bushy brown hair of a certain insufferable know it all had been a dead give away prompting him to smile despite the absurdity of his situation.
"Hermione." he said softly stroking the sleeping witch's cheek as she attempted to stay as close as she could be to him as possible. "Wake up love."
Shifting a bit despite her lack of interest in awakening, Hermione began to rouse. Her eyes opened to find the rather boyish smile filed across the formerly ailing wizard's face as he looked her over.
"You're awake." she said quite relieved as tears began to stream down her cheeks.
"So are you." replied Snape wiping away the tears as quickly as they appeared.
"I was so afraid that..." she began.
"I'm alright witch." he replied in a soft tone. "You've seen to that."
"That fiend shouldn't be able to hurt you." said Hermione narrowing her eyes at the memory of how she found him. "I hate what this idiotic war is doing to you, Severus you don't deserve any of this."
"People seldom get what they deserve in life." he replied. "Besides, if taking unforgivable curses from the dark lord is the only way to see you again...I am more than willing to endure the pain for even a moment of your company."
"This isn't right." said Hermione reaching up to stroke his cheek. "If they hadn't done what they did we wouldn't even be having anything to do with this stupid war."
Snape sighed knowing all too well how his actions contributed largely to the ongoing conflict, at least...it was what he was made to believe.
"If nothing else...both Potter and Lily can be avenged." he said.
Hermione sighed this time meeting his gaze once more.
"I love you Severus." she said before pressing her soft pink lips into his normally harsh pale ones.
The gesture had initially caught the wizard off guard for a few moments before he pulled her closer to him and they leaned back in his childhood bed. Hermione had not known what to feel about the older wizard in the beginning, when she had first attempted to come to terms with the truth about their relationship, but she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she loved him more with each passing moment than she had every loved anyone in either of her lives.
Snape looked up at her as she straddled him slowly shedding her school attire as she had so many times before when they had been just students going about life thought the corridors of Hogwarts castle.
"H-Hermione?" whispered Snape not willing to push her beyond her limits if she had not been ready.
"It's alright." she said softly running her hands along her husband's bare chest before leaning down to capture his lips in yet another series of kisses.
Snape found himself giving in as he wrapped his arms around the rather determined witch's waist as he had so many times before in his youth.
"T-Things are quite different this go round I'm afraid..." said Snape meeting the young witch's eyes. "As will soon note, I am far from being a boy."
Hermione couldn't help but giggle as the Potions Professor illustrated his point via flexing his cock as their bodies pressed against each other.
It seemed as thought Remus Lupin's words had come into fruition as Snape maneuvered the witch onto her back against the mattress as he towered above her.
"I love you." he said before setting to work kissing her along her neck as he had done in the past.
Hermione let out a small gasp feeling the onset of butterflies fill her belly as her Potions Professor husband continued to remind her of their former exploits. The formerly ailing wizard had been healed nicely following her efforts to bring him back around and sought only to repay the witch for her assistance.
The more time they spent around each other the more heated the exchange of kisses became as Hermione's amber eyes shifted into a blazing reflection of an inferno and before she knew it her entire body had been set ablaze with the brazen flame that seemed to come from within her. Snape had been no different as the heat between them gave way to his eyes of obsidian glowing with his own inflamed passion for the young witch.
The childhood bedroom of The Potions Master had been a strange mix of red orange flame from Hermione and the cool blazing blue-white flame that had been the result of the wizard himself. A hiss escaped his lips as he found himself sinking his cock into the young woman whom had been his wife ever since they were children of sixteen during the later half of the seventies.
Hermione gasped feeling the wizard stretch her like never before, shattering her restored innocence following her return to childhood in the wake of cruel plotting and numerous lies.
Snape groaned feeling his wife again after so long a separation.
"Severus..." hissed the blazing witch as she clung to him not in the least effected negatively by the flames that surrounded them both in the wake of their coupling.
"Hermione." he replied still kissing her neck amid the flames as he began to thrust into her heated depths recalling only his need for her despite the distance between them that time had created.
As the Potions Professor's thrusts became more intense, the coupling pair had been bombarded with a series of images that had been of a far distant past giving rise to the suspicion that was the latest coupling in their long standing relationship.
Severus Snape gripped the mattress below the whimpering and moaning witch as she gave herself over to the power he radiated in the wake of his desire for her. He didn't doubt that she could see the flashing images as well.
"S-Severus..." whimpered Hermione wrapping her legs around the rapidly thrusting wizard as their mutual passion continued to get the better of them.
The Potions Master had been silent as the images of Hermione's time within the Granger household had come into view.
{ Hermione couldn't have been no more than five years old as tears streamed down her cheeks and she sat in the confines of her bedroom drawing at her desk. The drawn image of a rather harsh looking solitary man in her drawings had looked to have been quite similar to the Potions Master, cloaked in ebony and pale in complexion.}
Hermione's own mind had been privy to some of the darker images in the aged wizard's mind as well in the wake of their reunion.
{ The drunken brute had broken the bones in the raven haired wizard's right arm, crushing them effectively after another drunken binge sent him into a rage. Young Severus had attempted to steer clear of his tormentor only to find that he had been his primary target. There was a moment of panic that gave way to resolve as the teenage wizard accepted his fate with the inevitable snapping of his bone.}
Tears streamed down the witch's cheek as she clung to the wizard she loved even more than before hoping to give him some form of happiness after seeing what he had to endure as a mere boy.
Snape gripped the witch's hand folding his large pale fingers among hers joining them as their bodies had been joined, a fitting reflection of their mutual love for one another.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Sometime Later...
Severus Snape had been nearing his end as he gave one final thrust into the young witch that had been his wife. They shared another series of kisses before their mutual release had gotten the better of them causing the flames that surrounded them to intensify. Hermione had been panting as Snape smirked down at her completely spent from having exerted himself in the wake of proving his newly acquired sexual prowess since last she had been able to join him.
"Someone's gone and picked up a few new tricks." she said stroking his sallow pale cheek.
Snape lied in bed beside her still panting in his own right and covered with sweat as she had been once the flames receded following their act.
"All the better to please you witch." he replied touching her cheek.
The two of them shared another kiss before staring up at the ceiling unsure of what the future would bring for them, after becoming so well acquainted with their past.
"I've missed you so much." said Hermione breaking the silence first as tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
"I've missed you just as much." admitted Snape still wiping them away.
"So much has changed for us." said the concerned witch trying to understand why their separation had to happen.
"Not entirely." replied Snape taking her hand in his own and kissing it. "Our love for each other is what remains, even with the distance between us brought on by time."
"It seems we have even more to lose this time around." said Hermione. "As if having our child taken from us had not been enough...one misstep and who knows what they'll do to us."
"All the more reason for us to take extra care in our concealment." replied Snape. "I can't lose you again witch...and I won't walk away from you due to the folly of an old fool and his meddlesome Gryffindors."
Hermione sighed.
"I don't wish to lose you either Severus..." she replied touching his face once more.
"Whatever happens...we will deal with it when it comes." said Snape meeting her gaze. "For now...let us enjoy our reunion."
Hermione nodded understanding how few the precious moments between them had been.
"I love you." she said once more.
"And I love you." he replied as they shared one more kiss before coming to the conclusion that they must return to Hogwarts in order to keep up appearances.
The last thing they needed was to arouse suspicion on the part of the Headmaster.
