Forever and Always

by TheFull-BloodPrincess

COMPLETE AND EDITED! The war is over and Severus has been placed under Minerva as Deputy Headmaster, but when he is summoned to a vision ceremony by Luna Lovegood, he sees his future. The woman is one of his old students whom he had a flame for. As if on cue, she is hired on as Professor of Wizard Literature, but will this future of theirs play out as Severus has seen it?

36. Chapter 36

Jordan stood with Caroline at the gates, watching Severus pace back and forth as it came time for Eileen to arrive. 'Honestly, Severus, you're worrying for nothing. She said she'd come didn't she? She couldn't possibly be upset with you. Why would she come to your wedding if she were? She'd just be miserable the entire time.'

Severus nodded his head at Jordan and continued to pace. Caroline gave him a worried look before shifting her glance up to her mother. 'Mum, is Daddy going to be alright?'

Jordan stared at him a moment before looking down at her. 'Daddy's just nervous, sweetie. It'll pass.'

She nodded her head in understanding as they all heard the familiar pop that meant someone had arrived.

Filius was there to unward the gates as Eileen came into view. Severus studied her and approached, his face passive. 'When I fourteen, what bone did I break and how did I do it?' He asked her before she could speak.

Eileen could have taken offence to him making sure she was herself, but she knew it was a precautionary measure. Hogwarts had beefed up security over the years and rightfully so. She cleared her throat. 'The second joint in your thumb. You were um…' She leaned forward as not to embarrass him. 'Wanking…when I walked in unexpectedly and caught you. You fell and broke your thumb from shock. I helped you nonetheless, a deeply demented sneer across your face that only got deeper when I had to explain how you got that way at St. Mungo's.'

Severus' hard features softened. He smiled. 'Hello, mother.'

'Hello, Severus.' She breathed as Severus nodded to Filius who unwarded the gates for her.

She walked up to him and cupped his face, her face level with his. 'My baby.' She murmured before she pulled him in for a hug. He seemed shocked at first, but he slowly hugged her back, the hug only tightening as time passed.

Jordan took them both in and was completely shocked. She suspected Eileen to be old, dark, and unflattering from what she read about the witch. She was the exact opposite of that though. She was wearing Yellow? That definitely wasn't something Severus took after her. She was stunning, her features the feminine version of Severus'. She could definitely tell where Severus got his features. And the witch didn't look old either! From what she had read, she was only in her early Fifties, still young by wizarding standards. Gods, she thought. She's going to think I'm a child. Jordan shook the thought. Positive thoughts, Jordan. She told herself. If Severus says she's going to love you, she's going to love you. Stop doubting yourself.

As Jordan pulled herself together, she saw that Eileen's eyes were resting on her as she pulled away from her son. Jordan gave her a small smile as Severus turned around to introduce them. 'Mother, This… is Jordan. And this is Caroline.'

Eileen took them both in with a passive face, not much different from Severus'. Caroline held out her hand before Jordan could speak. Eileen looked down upon her.

'It's a pleasure to finally meet you! Daddy said that you would be very nice.'

Eileen eyed her. 'Did he?' She said before looking at Severus. She bent down and took the little witch's hand in her large, slender one. She leaned into Caroline and a smile spread across her face. 'He was right.' She whispered.

Caroline smiled at her as Eileen gave her a look that Caroline knew meant to keep quiet. She got it from her father very often and complied immediately. Eileen stood and took Jordan in with a passive face. 'Hello, Jordan.'

She nervously smiled and held out her hand. 'Hello, Mrs. Snape.'

Eileen's face turned into a frown. Jordan's eye's widened as Severus looked between the two of them. 'So, proper.' Eileen retorted. 'No wonder Severus loves you.'

She then smiled and Jordan giggled a bit. Severus still looked at them with a worried expression. Eileen pushed Jordan's hand down. 'We're family. A Prince always hugs.' She mused as she embraced Jordan. The younger witch laughed and hugged her back looking at Severus with a gleeful expression. Severus was smiling as well. Thank Merlin she was nice! He thought.

Eileen pulled back from Jordan. 'You can call me Eileen too. I haven't gone my Mrs. Snape for decades.'

Jordan giggled. 'Consider it done, Eileen.'

'Marvelous!' She said. Stepping back, she eyed Jordan. 'Now let me look at you.'

Jordan held her hands out as if to let her Mother-in-Law to behold her. Eileen noticed that the witch wasn't anywhere as tall as Severus. She wasn't stick thin either. Granted Severus had filled out over the years, so he wasn't skin and bones. They looked nice together. Eileen noticed how busty Jordan was and shook her head. Just like his father… She thought. Jordan had a rather pleasant looking face, a nice button nose, beaming auburn eyes, and big sultry lips. Severus wasn't lying she was gorgeous. Eileen beamed down at her as she turned to Severus. 'You lied to me, Severus.'

His face paled. He looked offended. 'I did no such thing!'

'Yes, you did.' She said with a plain face. 'You said she was beautiful,' Eileen then turned to Jordan with a smile. 'When obviously is gorgeous!'

Severus' face softened. 'Forgive me. I know she's gorgeous, but how do I know what I see is what you see?'

Eileen turned to him and rolled her eyes. No doubt were Severus got that mannerism. 'Don't start that snarkiness with me, Severus Snape. You're not old enough for me to bend you over my leg.'

Severus' face fell into a scowl while Caroline tried to suppress her giggles. Severus shot her a deathly glare and she stopped immediately. Eileen slapped him on the chest with the back of her hand. 'Don't you be mean to my grandbaby!' She chided as she bent down to Caroline. 'She knows a good joke when she hears one, don't you Caroline?'

She gulped. 'I'm kind of afraid to answer that question.'

'Not with me around you're not!' She implored as she gave Severus a motherly look. He immediately changed his expression as his mother walked with Caroline. 'I'm assuming you know the way, Caroline?' She asked as her granddaughter started chatting her up about her dress.

Severus huffed and Jordan came and took his hand. 'Good ole, mother. Taking my authority away from me since 1964.'

'Severus.' Jordan chided. 'She's just making a good impression and doting on her granddaughter. Something, I might remind you, you said she would do.'

He glared down at her. 'I can't wait until she does it to you.' He said sarcastically.

Eileen turned around about thirty yards way. 'Are you two coming or do you plan on sleeping outside in the cold?'

Severus rolled his eyes as he made himself chipper. 'Coming, mother!'

He started striding with Jordan. 'Do you think we could get away with a quickie?'

Jordan snorted. 'I severely doubt it. Personally I'd rather your mother didn't find me with my mouth around your cock in the first twenty-four hours of meeting her. But that might just be me. So…'

Severus grew nauseous at the thought. His mother had caught him alone; he wasn't going to make it a set by having her catch him with Jordan. 'I guess we can wait until tonight then…'

'You literally just fucked me. What's wrong?' She asked knowing he was hiding something from her.

He sighed and was honest. He didn't really see the point in stepping around it anymore. 'It's just been about fifteen years since I've seen her Jordan.'

She drew closer to him. 'You're nervous aren't you?'

'I am. I'm a completely different person now. I just don't want to disappoint her again.'

'Severus, you're not going to disappoint her again. She's so proud of you I can see it when she looks at you. Just calm down and show her how you've changed. I'll help.'

He smiled down at her. 'What would I do without you?'

She grinned. 'Most certainly die of embarrassment.'

He reached down to smack her bum playfully.

She yelped. 'Oh, Professor! Touching a female inappropriately on school grounds? I'll have to take points!'

'No doubt I'll earn them back tonight.' He growled in her ear.

She smirked. 'Well you're not wrong.'

With that they bounded across the grounds. Caroline and Eileen in front of them, planning what they were going to do before the younger witch had to go to sleep.

Reaching Severus' office door, Eileen turned around for Severus to remove his wards. Caroline had a Charms club meeting to attend and bid them farewell on the main floor. Eileen had commented on how bubbly she was as they made their way down to the dungeons. She rather liked the girl. She could see why Severus was so fond of her. She had a magnificent mind and was every charming.

As Severus opened the door for them, Eileen walked in and looked distastefully around his office. 'You work in here?'

Severus moved past her and pushed the doors to the study open. 'Yes, I do. Now, if you would, mother.'

Jordan laughed at him. As Eileen turned to her. 'He's always been this way. I hope he isn't this rude to you.'

Jordan shook her head as they made their way into the study. 'You'd be surprised. He gets in moods sometimes.'

Eileen chuckled. 'I am not surprised at all. He's been in a mood since his sixth year at Hogwarts. In fact, this is the first time I've seen him the least bit out of a mood.'

Severus bristled as he walked to pour his mother some tea. Eileen stopped him as she sat down on a sofa opposite Jordan. 'Actually, dear, I think I might be in the mood for something stronger.'

Severus whipped around. 'Mother, it's ten-thirty in the morning.'

Eileen shrugged her shoulders. 'So what? I'm nervous as I'll get out and she probably is as well.' She said motioning to Jordan. 'So you might as well at least attempt to make us comfortable.'

He looked from his mother to Jordan who gave him a small smile. 'Very well…'

'Actually, Sev. I'd rather have tea, if I'm honest.' Jordan said as he poured a white wine for Eileen.

He eyed her as he handed it to her. Eileen was eyeing her as well. She figured any witch who voluntarily spent time with Severus would be in need of a drink constantly. She always was when he was growing up, but there were other contributions to that need as well.

As Severus went to pour her tea, Eileen piped up. 'He allows to you call him 'Sev' does he?'

Jordan smiled. 'Well, he's never told me he didn't want me to call him that. So, it's just sort of stuck.'

Eileen studied Severus as he handed Jordan her cup of purple looking tea. 'Thank you, sweetie.' She said as he sat down beside her, crossing his legs and bringing his hand around to rest at her hip.

He definitely was fond of Jordan. Eileen could see it in his eyes as he looked at her. His glance then turned to his mother. 'So, we might as well skip the pleasantries. I know you must have many questions for us.'

Eileen sipped her wine and sat the glass down. 'I do actually, but I didn't want to be rude. Unlike you Severus, I wait for my prey. But no matter… I'm curious. How old are you, Jordan?'

She sat her tea down very calmly even though her and Severus both knew she was writhing inside. She knew this would come up. 'I'm twenty-four.'

Eileen's eyebrows rose. 'And already a Head of House? That's impressive, my dear.'

'Many of Jordan's accomplishments are impressive, mother.' Severus drawled. 'She was Head Girl without being a prefect. She obtained 9 OWLs and 8 NEWTs. Graduated with Honors from University during the war. I wasn't lying when I said she was intelligent.'

'I had no doubt that you did, Severus. You were Head Girl, Jordan?'

She nodded. 'I was.'

'I remember being Head Girl. I'm sure you had many suitors. I know I did…'

She giggled. 'None that interested me.'

Eileen was confused. That was the best part about being Head Girl. She had the time of her life that year. Why hadn't Jordan indulged like everyone else? She eyed Severus who had a little bit of a smirk playing at his lips as he looked down at the auburn haired witch. 'Surly a few of them interested you, Jordan. That is one of the best things about being Head Girl.'

Jordan smiled. 'I guess you could say I had eyes for another.' She said sipping her tea.

Eileen looked at Severus' hand tighten at Jordan's waist. 'How did you two meet, Severus?'

This left him stunted. He had worried about this question and how he would respond when it no doubt was asked. 'I met Jordan during her time at Hogwarts.'

Her eyebrows rose. 'As a student?'

They both blushed as Severus took a deep breath. 'Yes.'

'Severus…' Eileen began. Jordan moved her hands to stop her. 'There was no foul play, Eileen. Severus didn't touch me until I graduated.'

Eileen brushed the sweat off of her brow internally. 'But there was desire, wasn't there?' She asked eyeing Severus.

He swallowed, his Adams Apple bobbing nervously. 'Yes, but it was never acted upon. I in fact tried to distance myself from her for a time and so did she, but alas, it was no use.'

'And when you did finally get together, how did you communicate? There must have been a bit of falling out during the war. Especially as your role became more crucial, Severus?'

He nodded his head. 'I feel like you know the answer to that already, mother.'

'Well, I do, but you might as well humor me.' Eileen said giving him an all to familiar look. He must have gotten that one from her a lot because he could do it about as well as she could.

'We sent letters to each other. I told her of… our family history as well as my feelings for her, goings on, things like that.'

Eileen's brow rose. 'She knows about…'

'Yes, mother. I felt as though it would be unfair not to let her know why I am like I am.' Severus replied looking stern.

Eileen looked at Jordan who had a saddened expression. 'You must not have been expecting me to be the way I am.'

Jordan's face rose to look at her. 'If I'm honest, Eileen, no. I had expected to see a rather broken woman after what I've been told, but you are none of those things.'

Eileen shook her head. 'It took a long time to get to were I am now. The infection in my life has been completely removed and replaced by a solemn, yet pleasurable existence. Severus has taken good care of me over the years, even though he didn't bother to give me a single blasted hello or acknowledgement that he was alive.'

Severus sighed. 'You know the pretenses of why I couldn't do that, mother.'

'Yes, but you can no doubt send your bounty lass letters detailing our private lives that I would like to keep buried deep in the past. But yes, by all means keep your mother safe from the Dark Lord by hiding her away and never speaking to her.'

Jordan felt extremely uncomfortable now. Eileen had been upset about Severus telling her his family history? She never would have thought that would be a problem. He was only trying to explain to her just how difficult his childhood was. He never meant for her to be upset by it. Severus rubbed her side to comfort her as he spoke calmly. 'Mother, I understand that you are upset by my sharing, but Jordan had to know. She is more susceptible to understand our situation because she went through something much like it while in school here.'

Eileen's breath hitched as her eyes rested on Jordan. 'You've experienced abuse, Jordan?'

The witch nodded slowly. 'I have. Nothing as drastic as what you and Severus went though, but abuse nonetheless.'

The older witches heart went out to her. She had no idea that Jordan had gone through such a thing. You certainly couldn't tell by looking at her. 'How old were you?'

'Twelve.' Jordan responded.

Eileen shot daggers at Severus. 'And you did nothing about this, Severus? How could you?! She was in a situation you knew all too well and you did nothing to help her?'

He shook his head. 'No, mother! I did everything I could. Once I knew, I tried everything. They are a very wealthy family. Nothing came of it. I did have someone who made sure she was kept safe and taken care of, but I myself couldn't go near her out of Hogwarts from that point on.'

Eileen was enraged. 'Who are these monsters?'

'You no doubt have heard of Oliver Brooks.' Severus drawled with more than a twinge of hatred.

Eileen's eyes widened. 'The politician?'

'Yes.' Jordan said as her eyes rose from the ground.

Eileen stood and sat beside her. 'Forgive me for being so coarse, dear. I had no idea. One could never tell by looking at you.'

'No one could ever tell by looking at you either.' Jordan said with a small smile.

Eileen sighed. 'You have a point. Come here, dear. You no doubt need some parental affection.'

Jordan was brushed up into Eileen's arms. She felt rather at home there. Her limbs reminded her of Severus. They were less toned, but she truly felt love in Eileen's embrace. 'Thank you, Eileen.' Jordan breathed.

Severus felt relieved all over again. His mother had connected with Jordan in a way he hadn't thought she would. She also regarded Jordan as one of her own because the only time she had hugged someone like that was when she hugged him. He smiled at them, the two women he loved most in the world. All seemed to be right. That was good.

Eileen pulled back from Jordan. 'I hope Severus gives you enough affection. He's a great hugger, but I haven't been around him enough to know how he is with a witch of his own.'

Jordan giggled. 'He is the sweetest, most compassionate person I've ever met. He treats me like a queen.'

Eileen's eyebrows rose in joy as she looked at her son. 'I'm proud. I assume he is just as sweet and compassionate during your more intimate endeavors as well?'

Jordan blushed profusely. Severus scowled. 'Mother, is that really necessary?'

She shot him a look of annoyance. 'Yes it is necessary, Severus Snape. I need to make sure you aren't abusing your roles as a lover. She's a sweet little thing. I'd hate to see you break her.'

He chuckled. 'You think she's sweet now…'

Jordan hit him on the chest. 'Yes, Eileen. He is extremely thorough. I couldn't ask for a better lover.'

Severus suppressed his arousal at her words and countered his mother's look. 'Thorough as in he never gets off of you, or thorough as in you're more than pleased with him?'

'Well… I little of both I guess… I welcome his advances, so I guess I'm to blame as well.'

Eileen looked pleased. 'Good. I remember how often he liked to engage in his teenage years so I'm not surprised he never gets off of you.'

Severus' expression turned cold. 'Mother…'

Jordan was interested. 'Ooh, tell me more.'

'Jordan.' Severus spat in warning.

Eileen waved him off. 'Oh Severus let her have a little fun. The stories are quite amusing.'

He rolled his eyes. 'I'll go order lunch…'

Jordan shook her head at him as he walked back through his office. Turning back to Eileen, her eyebrows rose.

'Well, he isn't exactly vocal, I'm sure you're aware, but you can hear him grunting. Anyway, I always had to make sure all was well before coming into a room he was in. If you think he spent a lot of time studying, you would be appalled at how much time he spent wanking. I was worried he was going to become dehydrated.'

Jordan giggled. 'I can only imagine. He is quite randy at certain points in the day.'

Eileen rolled her eyes. 'Its good to see nothing's changed. I assumed it was because of the hostility he felt toward his father. After all, it was truly better for him to take his frustrations out that way, but I still worried about him.'

Jordan's brow furrowed as Severus stepped back into the room. 'It would seem you have traumatized her enough, mother.'

Jordan's eyes fell on him and he stared at her for a moment before giving her a small smile and moving to sit back beside her. Eileen rolled her eyes and sat back with her wine. Severus pulled Jordan into his side and she looked up at him and smiled. Turning to Eileen he deadpanned. 'Your room is behind you, mother, if you'd like to freshen up.'

Eileen huffed. 'Fine, fine. I can see you'd like some alone time. Perhaps, I'll go see how Pomona is doing.'

Severus huffed right back at her. 'I didn't mean go away, I just-'

Eileen pointed at Severus with a warning look. 'I wish to reconnect with more people than just you, Severus. I've missed my friend. Now, if you would be so kind as to let me floo to her rooms, I would much appreciate it.' Jordan smirked. She was definitely Severus' mother.

Standing, Severus sent her off. 'Try not to get into too much trouble, mother. I do work here now.'

Pinching his cheek, she kissed him. 'You don't have to worry about me, baby. I'll keep out of trouble. Yet, Pomona will be a different story. I can't help if I'm present with the guilty party.'

He scowled at her. 'Mum.' He muttered under his breath warningly.

She ran her fingers through his hair. 'Calm down, Severus. I'll be back after dinner. I promise.'

'Very well.' He said as he kissed her.

With that she strode through to Pomona. Severus looked at the flames for a moment after she left. Jordan sat down her empty teacup and came up behind him. 'She's a riot, I'll tell you that. You could never deny her.'

Severus turned and eyed her with a smirk. 'And just what do you mean by that?'

'You're practically the spitting image of her, physically and socially.'

'I have no idea what you are talking about.' He said as he brushed past her towards their bedroom. Turning around swiftly to face her, he spoke. 'If you are under the impression that this free time has been given to us for reasons besides our unsavory lovemaking, then you are highly mistaken.'

She countered him. 'You're insatiable. Do not want to at least talk about what your mother said to me?'

'After a thorough shagging, I'm up for all the conversation you could possibly want, but as of right now, I have some primal urges that need to be taken care of.'

Jordan rolled her eyes and walked towards him. 'Fine.' She said as they closed and silenced the room behind them.

They were in the bonds of passion for several hours before Severus and Jordan both hit the mattress barebacked, panting, and sweat-soaked with dumb looks of pleasure on their faces. Jordan was having a hard time even seeing straight as his hand came over to embrace hers.

For the time being, that was all he could do to comfort her. He could barely move he was so satisfied. 'Jordan.' He breathed, trying to catch his breath.

'Yes, Severus?' She replied just as dumbstruck.

'Do you at least like her?'

She turned her head to him as she gained some feeling back in her tingling nerves. 'Of course I like her. Why wouldn't I?'

He matched her glance with a passive expression. 'Well, she ostracized you for your age, suggested that I seduced you when you were a minor, thought you were too put together to have been subjected to abuse, asked you about our sex life, and gave you a rather meek overview of my way of handling my father's injustices. I'm not exactly pleased with her at the moment.'

Jordan sighed and rolled over to him, propping herself up on her elbow and running her palm over his chest. 'I could have taken offence to all of those things, but she was just asking questions, Severus. She had a right to act just the way she did to all of those things. I am young, practically a legal child by wizarding standards. We did start when I was a minor. That response is only normal to jump to. Remarkably, I don't look as if I've had the past I do, but that's because I've had people like you to keep that flame inside me afire. At this point I'm used to people asking about our sex life. The fact that it was your mother makes it a bit more uncomfortable, but I digress. As for that other bit, I don't know how I feel about that, but I can't demean you for it. I've been doing the exact same thing for months.'

He studied her. 'Our situation is different, Jordan. You're not the only one that has been taking your frustrations out sexually. I've been doing the exact same thing to you.' He sighed. 'Back then I had no other outlet. I've never been violent; in fact I despise violence with my very being. So, when things would become heated, or I was frustrated with schoolwork, I would let off a bit of steam. It was the only thing that kept me from beating him to a pulp. Even then, I wasn't strong or well built then anyway, so he would've just retaliated by beating her more…'

Jordan kissed his temple. 'Like I said, I'm not demeaning you. The way she said it just took me of guard. I'd never have imagined that would have been your outlet of choice.'

'Well, it was. I didn't do it as often as she lets on though. I did have schoolwork, but it wasn't what I'd wanted to be doing.'

Jordan was curious. 'What did you want to be doing?'

'My potions work… He never allowed me to have my equipment. The moment I came in the door, it was locked up under the stairs. Most of the time I'd sneak over to Lily and brew with her.'

'Lily lived near you?'

He nodded. 'Yes. She felt like an outsider in her family too. Her sister was a down right Cretan when it came to her magic. She was just jealous she wasn't as special as Lily was.'

Jordan sighed. 'I assume she was quite talented?'

Severus locked eyes with her. 'Oh yes. Brilliant. I taught her all kinds of things and she only went farther to improve them. She was my first student which was sort of unfair to the rest of you lot, because from then on I expected you all to be like her.'

Jordan thought back to his instruction. That actually made a lot of sense. 'Did your mother like Lily?'

He scoffed. 'She adored her! Anytime Lily came over, which was a handful of times, she'd shower her with motherly affection. It really pissed me off actually. Lily got cross with me a few times because of it. She said that my jealousy was overrunning my mother's happiness and I should strive to make her happy whenever I could rather than being selfish.'

'I feel like I would've gotten along with her. There's quite a bit of wisdom in that advice.' Jordan giggled.

Severus looked affronted. She quickly brushed her hand up to cup his jaw. 'Oh, sweetie, I didn't mean anything by it!'

'No, it's fine. The funny thing is you would've gotten along. I'm just realizing that maybe it was a good thing she and I didn't see eye to eye.'

Jordan's brow furrowed. 'Why do you say that?'

'Because then I wouldn't have been able to lead the life I have now. I'm quite fond of the life I have now, you know.'

Jordan giggled. 'I'm quite fond of it as well.' Her face then drooped.

His hand moved up her arm. 'What is it, sweetie?'

'You said that your mother always showered her with motherly affection. She gave be that hug, but I don't sense anything beyond that. She isn't fond of me is she?'

Severus rolled his eyes. 'I don't know, Jordan. But I do know one thing, the more she's around us, the more she will see how much I love you and you love me. She's not dead inside. She'll have to love you because anyone who makes me as happy as you make me can't be hated. You'll birth her grandchildren. She will love you soon. Just give her time.'

Jordan nodded her head. About that time, Caroline knocked at the door. 'Mum?'

Jordan rose and pulled her robe over her. Opening the door with a smile. 'Yes, my love?'

'I think it's happening?' She said with a worried countenance.

Jordan bent down. 'What's happening?'

Her eyes flitted to Severus who was sitting up in bed with a concerned look on his face. She looked back at her mother. With a hushed tone and gritted teeth, she spoke. 'The thing we talked about. You said to come to you.'

Jordan immediately realized what she was talking about. 'Oh! Oh… oh ok. Um. Ok. Come here.'

She turned around and walked Caroline to the bathroom with her hands on her shoulders behind her. Severus gave her a confused look. 'It's nothing to worry about, Severus. Just… get dressed for dinner.'

His eyebrow rose in retaliation, but something told him to do as she said. She closed the door behind her and he shrugged his shoulders to himself. She would no doubt tell him what that was about later.

Jordan turned Caroline around to look at her. 'How did you realize?'

'I don't know. I just feel weird. My stomach's been achy for days and this morning I was having those cramps you were talking about. They hurt like hell, mum.'

Jordan gave her a look. 'I can sympathize with you completely, but you're not going to curse in my presence.'

Her head dropped. 'Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.' It was then that she brought her hand up to her lower stomach. 'Ouch! You lied to me, Mum. This does too hurt!'

Jordan sympathized. She too usually had horrible cramps. Ones that made almost hex Severus they were so painful. She rubbed her back soothingly to try and get her calmed down. 'I'm sorry, sweetie! I didn't want you to be scared.'

Caroline looked livid. 'Mum! I wish you had just told me! This is horrible! I don't want to be a woman. I don't even want children. Make it stop!'

Jordan simpered at her daughter. 'I know you think that way now, but it'll get better. We can make the pain a bit more bearable. I promise. We just need to make sure you aren't bleeding though. I know this is going to be awkward, but pull your skirt and your knickers down for me please.'

Her eyes widened. 'What? Mum, no!'

Jordan rose nodding her head. 'Caroline, yes! I'll show you how to keep yourself clean, but you have to see what you're doing for me to do that.' She said as she opened the linen closet by the door. She looked at the box of tampons. Was she really ready for the right now? Well, she'll have to do it sometime. It might as well happen now.

Caroline studied her with a worried look. She was her mother, but it was embarrassing being naked in front of her regardless, much less when she was like this. She swallowed her pride and began to pull her bottoms down when she heard the door crack open. Luckily Jordan was in front of the door, so she caught it with her hand. 'Yes? Can I help you?'

Severus was on the other side. They had been in there for a little bit and he was starting to get worried. That was when his mother and Pomona had showed up, knocking on their bedroom door. He reluctantly answered it to find his mother's smiling face. 'Hello, dear. Are you and Jordan ready for dinner?'

Severus felt helpless. He had no idea what was going on so he definitely didn't want to tell his mother about it. 'Um almost. We're having a bit of a hold up, but we should be ready soon.'

That was the wrong thing to say. Eileen and Pomona's smiling faces changed to worried expressions. 'Why? Is something wrong, dear?' Eileen asked.

Severus sighed. 'You know, I'm really not sure at the moment, but because of that I don't know if I should worry you or not. Maybe you should just go on to dinner, mother. We will be right up I assure you.'

Eileen held her hand up. 'You've gotten rid of me for the last 6 hours, Severus. You're not getting rid of me again. Now, might I suggest you go find out what's wrong with your wife-to-be?'

'Oh no, mother. It's not Jordan. Caroline is having some type of problem. For the life of me, I can't figure out what.'

Eileen immediately knew the problem. She looked to be about thirteen. That was the age of periods. She turned around to Pomona and the older witch gave her a knowing glance. Turning back to Severus, she gave him a sympathetic smile. 'Make sure they are ok, Severus. We'll wait out here for them. It's not like we haven't been late to dinner before.'

He gave them a confused look. 'Alright…'

Closing the door, he cracked the bathroom door open, only to feel Jordan's hand hit the door, impeding his entrance anymore. 'Yes? Can I help you?'

He was so confused. What were they doing? 'I just wanted to make sure you two are ok. Mother and Pomona are waiting in the study.'

'Honestly, Severus, can't we just have twenty minutes? This is important and I'd rather not rush it.' He heard Jordan snap back.

'Oook. Do you need me to help in anyway?' He asked in the nicest voice he could muster. He was just trying to help. There was no reason for her to be rude.

'No!' She spat back quickly. 'Just… Just go sit in the study Severus. This is the last time we need your help.' The door opened a bit more as a second thought and Jordan peaked her head out between the gap. 'Actually, we might could use a drought, but you'd have to go to your office to get it because we're out in here.'

His jaw shot back. 'A drought?' He was definitely worried now. 'Is Caroline ok?'

Her hand came out to shut him up. 'She's fine! I just need a pain drought. You know, the special one?' She insinuated with a raised eyebrow and a knowing glance.

His eyebrows rose in understanding. 'Ah! Ok. Yes. Just…just give me a minute and I'll be back with it.' He went to move but looked at her and stopped. 'Are you ok?'

She smiled at him. 'Yes. Yes. But if I get out of this hex free, I'll be surprised.'

He chuckled at her. 'Well, that's what you get.'

Smiling at him, her eyes rose annoyingly. Severus heard Caroline spit something out at Jordan that he couldn't hear. It must have been rude because Jordan turned around and huffed at her. 'Because, young lady, he can help believe it or not. It's not like he's going to go screaming it through the corridors! He's your father and he's going to help you. I know your in pain, but that's no reason to be rude!'

She took a deep breath and turned back to Severus. 'If you could hurry, that would be fantastic.'

He nodded his head as he walked off, a smirk playing at his mouth. 'I'll be back.'

Jordan closed the door and turned to Caroline. She grabbed a tampon and walked over to her. 'Ok. Put one leg up on the loo.'

Caroline eyed the object in her hand. 'What is that?'

'You're saving grace. Now, leg. Up.' She said motioning her.

Caroline obeyed. Merlin, this was so embarrassing. Jordan looked down at her and back up. 'Ok.' She said unwrapping the small cylindrical tube. Holding it up to her, she continued. 'You're going to put this in your vagina to soak up some of the blood.'

Caroline's eyes widened. 'What? No! Why?'

'For the exact reason I just told you. Now, you can do it or I can. Take your pick.'

She whimpered. 'Mum…'

'You don't have a choice, Caroline. It's not going to hurt, I promise.'

Her brow furrowed. 'You said the same thing about my cramps. I don't even know where it is…'

Jordan sighed. 'Well, there are three holes. You're going for the middle one. You can't really miss it.'

She huffed and took it. 'This is so embarrassing…'

Jordan scowled. 'Likewise, child of mine.'

Caroline guided the tube to her core and ran it along the edges until there was an indent. It felt quite wet and slippery. She gave her mother an unsure look as she tried to stick it in. It hurt a lot, much more than her cramps. 'God, Mum! You lied to me again! I can't do this!' She said as she pulled it out.

Jordan sighed. 'Caroline. You've never had anything to stretch your walls. Of course it's going to hurt, but if I had told you that would you have tried? No. You're going to have to be a big girl and take a little pain. It'll only hurt for a second.'

She huffed. 'Can't you help?' Her leg came down and her eyes welled up. 'I'm really scared, mum.'

Jordan felt her chest tighten. She was the same way when she got her period except she wasn't as close with the person who helped her at the time. There was a muffled knock at the door. 'I'll help, just hold on. I'm sure you would rather your father didn't see you like this. '

Opening the door, Severus held up the familiar black and red vial with her name on it. She opened the door a bit more to take it, and leaned out to kiss him. 'Thank you, sweetie. Brew some of that combination tea you make me too. Poor thing is in a considerable amount of pain.'

He smiled. 'Already brewing. It should be ready by the time you two are done.' Stepping back he winked. 'Good luck.'

She rolled her eyes as she closed the door. Walking back over to Caroline, she bent down. 'Are you sure you want me to help?'

She nodded her head. 'Yes. I'm sorry, mum. I know it's gross.'

Jordan smiled up at her as she cupped her cheek. 'If it gives you a sense of peace, then I'll do it, but your on your own after this. My responsibilities as mother do not extend to personal snatch stopper.'

Caroline slightly giggled at her, her cheeks turning red. 'Yes, ma'am.'

Jordan took the tampon from her and maneuvered her hips to wear she could see. Gods, how did Severus ever find her blasted hole and in the dark no less. This was insane. She brought her hand up to hold her in place as she found her opening and looked up at her. 'Ok. We're going to count to three and then hold our breath, ok?'

Caroline nodded her head. Her mother was very helpful. Her hands were warm as can be, so that calmed her. She took a deep breath as Jordan counted. 'One, two-'

There was a sting as she felt Jordan move up in her. She yelped and tried to step back before Jordan pulled her back toward her with the hand on her hip. She pushed the tampon out of the applicator and Caroline's hand flew out to brace herself on her mother's shoulders. 'Mum! Oh my god! Ow!'

Jordan pulled the applicator out swiftly and stood, walking to the sink. 'There you go. Now, come over here so I can clean you up.'

Caroline was reluctant to put her leg down for fear it would be painful, but as she sat her other foot on the tile, she didn't feel any different than before. She whipped around to look at Jordan who was washing her hands in the sink. 'Mum, I don't feel anything. Are you sure you did it right?'

Jordan smirked at her as she wetted a black washcloth. 'Yes. You telling me you feel nothing is proof I did it right. If I didn't you'd be shrieking on the floor right now.'

Caroline took the washcloth and began to clean herself. 'That's actually really cool, isn't it, mum?'

Jordan chuckled. 'I guess so. I'll have to go get you another skirt. This one will have to be washed a bit before I scourgify it. I'll be right back. Don't take that potion until I'm back though ok?'

She nodded her head as Jordan slipped out of the bathroom. Man, she was lucky she had a mother who was so kind. That could have been a nightmare, but she calmed Caroline down and addressed the problem straight on. It was in that moment that Caroline felt an immense love for her mother wash over her.

Jordan moved through her and Severus' bedroom at a brisk walk. She stopped at the door and listened to see if Eileen, Pomona, or Severus were still there. She could faintly hear Pomona laugh. She sighed and rolled her eyes at the ceiling. They were going to ask questions. Fuck. She didn't want to embarrass Caroline. Them beaming down at her as if she had just won the house cup singlehandedly was the last thing the little witch needed right now.

She opened the door and walked out of it without looking at them once. She made quick work and walked into Caroline's room. She took a skirt from her wardrobe and a new pair of knickers and socks from her drawers. Turning back, she saw Severus at the door with a concerned look on his face. She smiled. 'All is well. You needn't worry.'

He was still stiff. 'Has she started cramping yet?'

Jordan nodded. 'Yes. We're going to have a time with her I'm afraid. Although, I know what makes me feel better so maybe it will make her feel better as well.'

Severus nodded his head. 'She can sleep with us if she needs to.'

Jordan smiled at him. 'I'll let her know.' Brushing his cheek, she sighed. 'Do you think you can keep your libido down until she can get ahold of this?'

He tilted his head at her. 'There are more important things, Jordan.'

She eyed him with an unconvinced look. He rolled his eyes. 'Let's just say, there are quieter ways of satisfying my urges.'

She glanced down and back up to his face. 'Very well, I'll reduce you to a puddle, Severus Snape. You know I always do when I'm on my knees.'

He blushed a bit. It was then, that they heard Caroline squalling from the other room. Jordan ran past Severus bypassing Eileen into the bedroom. Caroline was crying in the fetal position on the floor. Seeing her mother walk in, she started to whine. 'It hurts so bad, mum! I think my uterus is falling out!'

Jordan brushed her head. 'Shhh. Put these knickers on and take off your robes. I'll have Winky bring you some dinner tonight.'

'But what about Gran?' Caroline whispered as she pulled on her knickers. Obviously still in pain, but working through it.

'Gran can wait. You have a lifetime to spend with her. One night in bed with me isn't going to hurt at all. Now, here drink this back. It tastes like berries, but it can be a bit too much if you take it all at once.'

Caroline nodded as tears continued to stream down her face. She drank it back and sat back up. There was a warming in her belly, but she was still in a considerable amount of pain. She whimpered again keeling over, her hands pressing into her lower stomach.

Jordan rubbed her back gently as she saw Severus peak in. His gaze shifted to Caroline on the floor. Without a word, he came over and picked her up in his arms. She commenced to whine into his chest as he laid her down in their bed. Brushing his hands through her small head, he spoke. 'I'll order you some dinner, Cari. What would you like? You can pick anything.'

She thought for a minute. 'Chicken nuggets. And salty chocolate. Dark.'

Severus nodded his head and laughed at her. That sounded like something Jordan would request. He kissed her forehead. 'Ok, sweetie. Mum will stay here with you to make sure you're ok. Alright?'

She nodded her head as Jordan came out of the bathroom with her soiled clothing. She sat it on the nightstand as she saw them. 'I don't think it would be wise to send her to dinner, Sev. I don't know how well the potion is working.'

Severus stood. 'That's fine. I'll go to dinner with mother. You stay here and be a mother. We'll be back in about an hour or two, depending on how far we walk down memory lane. I'll call for your food.'

He bent down and kissed her on the forehead. She closed her eyes and ran her hand up to his neck. He parted from her and out into the study. Jordan watched the door for a moment before she climbed into bed with Caroline. She cuddled up to her and pulled her into a hug. 'If it gets worse, sweetie, tell me. I'll do to you what Daddy does to me.'

Caroline nodded her head. 'Thank you, Mummy. For everything. I love you.'

Jordan smiled at her. 'I love you too, baby. Come here.'

Jordan rocked Caroline until their food came, grateful for moments like these. She hadn't really seen Caroline for months. It wasn't the best of circumstances, but she was glad she could be a comfort for her daughter.

After they ate Caroline leaned against Jordan as she read to her from Sense and Sensibility. Everything had been going fine until about thirty minutes after they started reading. Caroline had keeled over on the bed beside Jordan in the fetal position again. Jordan put the book down and turned to her.

'Shhh, Cari. Come up here. I know it seems like curling up into a ball is helping but it's just making it worse.'

Laying down fully, she pulled Caroline on top of her, encircling her in her embrace. She was still crying, but it began to subside when Jordan started rocking her hips. Caroline moved her head to where she could look at her mother.

'It's almost completely gone. How did you ever figure this out?'

Jordan smiled down at her. 'Have I every told you how you're father's a genius?'

She giggled. 'You may have mentioned it.'

'Well, I usually have the worst cramps imaginable. Your father knew of this when I was a student here although he did not deal with me directly. That potion you drank was made specifically for me because the pain drought's Madame Pomfrey had never worked on me. Anyway, a few months ago, your father was reminded of just how bad my cramps were and came across this method, while trying to comfort me one night. It works every time.'

'He is a genius isn't he?' Caroline mused as she sighed into her mother's chest.

'What have I been telling you?' Jordan replied as she kissed her forehead.

'Mum?' Caroline asked.

'Yes, my sweet?'

'Are my boobs going to get big now?'

Jordan chuckled. 'Perhaps. It would take a while though. I wasn't blessed with mine until I went to University. So, you could have to wait a while.'

She sighed. 'Ok…'

'Why do you ask?'

She shrugged and sat up. 'They just seem so cool. They are very pretty to look at.'

Jordan smiled at her. 'Indeed they are. You won't want them once you have them though.'

She looked confused. 'Why?'

'Because. Some wizards think that just because you have them, they are allowed to look at them or talk about them whenever they want.'

'Does Daddy do that?' She asked in shock.

Jordan shook her head. 'No. He may admire them from afar, but I've never caught him looking in public.'

She inhaled. 'Good. I didn't think he would, but I wanted to make sure.'

'The thing is, they are in his jurisdiction. So, I can't be upset if I do catch him. He has a right to them.'

'But he doesn't, mum. They're on your body.'

'You're more than right. And that's the attitude you should keep as you grow older. But Daddy and I are to be married. What's mine is his and what's his is mine. It's different. He would never be rude about it, but he is entitled.'

Caroline's eyes enlarged. 'Oh… That makes me uncomfortable.'

Jordan giggled at her. 'Good. We're your parents. It should make you uncomfortable.'

Caroline rolled her eyes bashfully. She turned back with a serious look. 'How did things with Gran go today?'

Jordan sighed. 'As well as they could have. She's going to be a tough one to crack, like your father in more ways than one.'

'But they both seem so nice.'

'They are. Your father is nothing but kind to me, but it didn't start out that way. I expect no less from his mother.'

'She did seem to like you when I was there, mum. What makes you think she doesn't like you?'

Jordan huffed. 'There was just things she said and how she said them. I'm sure she meant nothing by them, it was just a little uncomfortable.'

Caroline nodded her head. 'Well, I like her. I'm a little upset she made you uncomfortable, but she seems like she's a nice lady regardless. What did Daddy say to her when she made you uncomfortable?'

'He inadvertently got her to go spend the day with Professor Sprout. I will deny it if you ever repeat this, but I was extremely thankful.'

'I'm sure you were.' Caroline said before she keeled over again. Jordan's hand came around her back and rubbed it in circles. Caroline elongated back out on her chest. Sighing. 'I hate this.'

'I know you do, sweetie. Daddy said you could sleep in here with us tonight if you'd like.'

Jordan could feel her smile from under her. 'Thank you mummy. I would like that.'

'Good.' She said as she kissed her head. 'You don't have a choice. I want to make sure you're ok.'

Caroline's grip tightened around her a bit more. 'I love you, mummy.'

'I love you too, sweetie.'

At this Caroline progressively became more and more relaxed in Jordan's embrace. She was asleep in about ten minutes. Jordan too was on her way into a deep slumber when she heard the door crack. She moved her head slightly to see Severus and Eileen inching in to see if they were awake.

As Severus saw her wide smile, the sneer firmly implanted on his face, softened into a smile, something that didn't go unnoticed by Eileen. He sat down beside them and took Jordan's hand, kissing it lightly. 'How is she?' He whispered.

'She's fine.' Jordan whispered back just as quietly. 'Your method seems to really have an effect on her as well. She's been asleep for about thirty minutes.'

He nodded his head. 'Good. I was worrying about her.'

Eileen scoffed quietly. 'Worrying is putting it lightly, don't you think, Severus?'

He rolled his eyes and turned back to look at her. 'I asked mother about tomorrow night. She said she would love to watch our three. That is if Caroline still feels up to the idea.'

Jordan looked down at her. 'I have a feeling she will no matter what.' Turning to Eileen she's smiled. 'Thank you Eileen. Caroline will be ecstatic. She'll really show you off.'

Eileen smiled. 'I'm glad to hear it.' She brushed Severus' back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. 'You've been great today, baby. I really must turn in now though. You take care of your family.'

Severus blushed a little. Standing, he hugged his mother and kissed her on the cheek. 'I love you, mum.'

She smiled at him. 'I love you too, baby.' Cupping his cheek she grinned. 'You've grown up so much. I'm so proud of you, Severus.'

He softened. 'Thank you, mum. I know I've seemed annoyed all day, but I really am glad you're back.'

She chuckled. 'I could say the same, but I'm not surprised you're still prickly. You've always been that way. Sleep well, Severus.'

With that, she turned and left. Not looking at Jordan at all. She felt a flicker of disappointment. She was happy for Severus. His nervousness was assuaged, but it did nothing but make her feel that much worse about how Eileen felt about her. She wanted nothing more than to please her. She was the mother of the person she loved most in this world. She took a deep breath. If Severus said that she would love her like she had loved Lily, he was right. It would just take some time. She still have her doubts though.

Looking down at her, he could see that flicker of disappointment. His heart went out to her. All she wanted was to be accepted by his mother. He had to do something. Tomorrow, he'd set her straight. She was going to love Jordan, damn it. He would see to that.

Taking off his robes and clothes, he turned to her. She seemed to be on another planet. 'Sweetie?' He said soothingly low so he didn't wake Caroline.

She looked at him in his boxers and smiled slightly. 'Yes?'

'I'm sorry you had to stay here tonight.' He said coming over to get into bed. 'I really missed you. I thought my brain was going to bust without you there.'

She smiled at him. 'I missed you too, but I actually enjoyed my time with Caroline. You know we must relish every moment we get.'

His eyebrows rose, knowing exactly what she meant. 'I wish I could have stayed. Do you think she will be fine tomorrow?'

Jordan nodded her head. 'I think so. She may be a bit whiney, but it's better than hexing everything in sight.'

His eyes widened. 'You can say that again. That is one thing she does not have in common with you.'

Jordan giggled at him as he leaned over to kiss her. He then looked down at Caroline. Pulling her over into him, he grinned at her. 'Go, put on some pajamas. I think I can take the reins for a while.'

She rubbed Caroline's head before getting up and removing her clothes. She glanced over to see Severus eyeing her. She winked at him as she slipped a yellow nightie over her body.

Crawling back into bed, they seemed to make a Caroline sandwich. They both stared into each other's eyes across from her. 'It's weird not holding you.' Severus mused, looking down to Caroline.

Jordan smiled. 'I know right… I don't like it.'

Severus eyed her. 'You don't think she'll wake up if I take her back to her room will she? I've been away from you for far too long.'

'Besides being upset that we put her back there, I don't think so. But I'm a bit beyond caring at the moment.'

Severus saw the heat in her eyes and shot up with Caroline. Jordan catching the door for him and opening Caroline's door adjacent. She pulled back the duvet and he slid her in. Covering her back up, he tucked her in and whispered in her ear before kissing her on the cheek. He then turned to Jordan. She could see him rising steadily. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back to their room.

She turned around as he came through the door and jumped on him, wrapping her legs around his waist. He must not have expected it because he flew back into the door, trying to catch her. This only made Jordan that much more ready for him. He could already feel her warmth emanating from her core on his waist. It was making him twinge below her. But there was something he had the urge to do before her took her.

Moving her to the bed, he ripped her nightie off of her and began greedily kissing all over her. He tickled her neck with his breath as he suckled her soft skin, moving ever so slowly down her body.

Her hands were moving all over his back, feeling the ridges of his skin and tightening her grip as he tickled her. As he was done kissing her neck and collarbone, he moved back up and began the process all over again, licking her smooth milky skin this time. His breath was labored now as she giggled and mewled under him, letting him know she liked his advances by rubbing and griping all over his back and shoulders.

Feeling satisfied with her responses, he moved down to her breasts and began laving at them, taking his tongue and swirling it around her taut nipple before taking it fully into his mouth. Her hands were now at his head, moving about in his hair. The sensation was relaxing. It was as if she was massaging his head with her petite fingers. He moaned into her breast in pleasure and her back arched upon feeling the vibrations tingle through her. He rose up and smiled at her before she guided him back down to her other breast. He was in heaven. She wasn't exactly big breasted, but no one could deny that she had a nice rack. He loved delving into her silken mounds. It was a sensation he could only get when laving at her.

Having his fill, he moved down her body licking and kissing her stomach. She really had filled out over the past few months, but she was by no means over weight. He actually thought she could use a bit more weight as he played around her belly button. That would no doubt be taken care of when she became pregnant. The thought excited him. Right where he was ravaging her, she would carry his child. She would look so beautiful with a round tummy, and he would make sure she knew just how beautiful when she was in the situation. He couldn't have her think any different.

Moving down to her pubic hair, he inhaled her scent deeply, making his brain turn to goo and her to gasp down at him. He truly did love everything about her. He looked up at her. 'I've never smelt something so radiant. How do you manage to fulfill my every need perfectly?'

She smiled down at him. 'I wonder the same thing constantly.'

He shook his head in amazement and dropped down, kissing her core. She jolted up upon feeling him. 'Good to see nothing has changed.' He mused as he rose to smirk at her. His hand came up to hold her down and she placed her hand on his, as he lowered back down. 'You better hold on for dear life, witch, because I'm going to make you scream.'

As if this didn't already set her on edge, she felt his lips on her. He was gentle and sweet, kissing her lower lips with sincerity. Jordan let out a whimper as she felt his tongue enter her. She bucked her hips down to him. He obliged her, smiling as he rubbed his nose around her clit playfully.

She was already wetter than usual. Their sex had been so great the past few months; neither of them had thought to eat each other out. He was rather surprised she could take all of him that often and not be sore. He had offered to change things up often, but she always denied him. This was for the better, because otherwise they would not have found out how much Severus liked her to dominate him.

He continued to ravage her with his mouth and she was practically seeing stars. He felt so good. Why had she not had him do this to her in so long? Her brain went fuzzy as he pressed his mouth into her farther, sucking in her juices.

Her unpreoccupied hand came down to pull his head into her more. Her other hand was gripping onto him for dear life. Her orgasm came unexpectedly. She gripped his hair as she thrashed around him. Him chuckling at the sounds she was making above him.

She finally stopped pulsing and lay there as he continued to suck in every hint of moisture from her. Gods, she tasted so good. He rose up to look at her as he licked his lips. This did nothing but jumpstart her arousal again, but she couldn't let him eat her out like that without giving him some amazing head.

He crawled up to top of her and smiled down at her. 'You taste better than I remember.'

She shrugged her shoulders limply in her dazed bliss. 'What can I say, I'm aging like a fine wine.'

He chuckled at her and lowered himself to kiss her delicately on the mouth. She responded with vigor. Completely surprised that she wanted more after all of that, he leaned up, his manhood brushing against her stomach. 'Is my goddess not satisfied?'

Her eyebrow rose. 'Oh no, but her serpent his not. That makes her concerned.'

He matched her glance. 'And what does she intend on doing to assuage her serpent's need exactly?'

She grinned evilly before leaning up, making him take her spot. 'She intends on sucking him dry.'

His breath visibly hitched as she kneeled down in front of him. Her warm hands brushed up past his fully tented boxers and pulled at the elastic near his waist. He lifted himself so she could reveal him in all of his glory. Letting his boxers rest around his ankles, she eyed his impressive shaft before looking to his eyes.

He felt as if she was fucking him with her eyes before she ever did anything. She then lowered her mouth to place a perfectly delicious kiss on his head. He felt the urge to blow right then, but suppressed it knowing she would be upset if he did so. Looking into his eyes, she brought her hands up around him and started to pull his iron-sheathed hardness up and down. He thrust up into her grip slightly as she ran her tongue over his slit. Feeling her warm wetness, his nostrils flared and his hands came down to run his fingers through her hair.

She hummed in approval, taking him fully into her mouth. The vibrations made him twitch under her. This only made her giggle at him as she slid him deeper and deeper into her mouth and throat with every plunge.

His grip tightened and urged her to move. She obliged him and relaxed her throat to take all of him in. Gods, this seemed like it was easier last time, she thought as he penetrated her throat for the first time. She continued to bob on him, his hands gilding her ministrations. He became more vocal as her hands came up to cup his balls. 'Yes! Jordan, yes! Just like that! Gods, witch, I'm going to blow! I can't hold back! Fuck!'

Jordan indeed felt him contract within her grip and took him in as he held her down. He burst inside of her mouth like a Weasley firework, hot jets of his seed spurting to the back of her throat. 'Fucking Christ Jordan! Yes! Yes! Ah! Ah…'

He slowed as Jordan rose up off of him to look him in the face. Her mouth was full of his come and when he finally made eye contact, she swallowed. With this commencement he fell back onto the bed. Jordan giggled at him and climbed in beside him as he caught his breath.

Pushing his hair out of his face, she kissed his cheek. 'Would the serpent say he is satisfied? Or should his Goddess go for round two?'

Severus shook his head. 'I honestly don't think I have any bodily fluids left for round two. I'm completely sedated.' He breathed as his panting began to subside.

'Well, then perhaps he should curl up with his goddess and go to sleep.' She mused as her fingers danced across his chest.

One of his eyes opened and he dove on top of her towards the head of the bed. As he kissed her thoroughly, he pulled down the duvet and they both inched their way under it. When they were covered in their own little piece of heaven, Severus leaned up and looked down at Jordan. 'You honestly are the most perfect woman I've ever come across. You are a fantastic mother, and an even better lover. I just can't get enough of you.'

She looked up at him and smiled sweetly. 'You aren't to bad yourself, Professor.'

He brushed noses with her as his hand snaked down to her side. Before she knew it he was tickling her, her laughter emanating throughout the room. Severus laughed with her as she writhed under him giggling his name. 'We're going to wake Caroline and your mother up, Severus! Stop!'

It was no use. 'Do you honestly think I care about waking them up when you're making music for my ears?' He said as he pulled her back towards him.

She tried to go for his hands, but he impeded her movements by pinning her down with one hand as the other went to work on her side and stomach. 'Severus! Stop it!' She squealed.

He finally stopped, leaning down to kiss her as he pulled her onto his chest. She was subdued as she came to rest there, looking up at him with a glow about her. 'Do you want to know a secret?'

His eyebrow rose. 'A secret? I'm always in the mood for gossip, love. You should know that by now.'

She leaned up as if she has some undisclosed information for him. 'I love you.'

He leaned back into his pillow with a sarcastic look of interest. 'As interesting your clandestine phrase is, I have one to counter it.'

Her eyes widened, playing their little game. 'Ooh do tell.'

He leaned up to her, looking around as if to make sure the nonexistent people around them weren't listening. 'I love you more.'

She looked challenged. 'I honestly doubt that. Although I do appreciate your fatal attempt.'

His hand smacked her bum playfully hard. 'You should watch your tone with me young lady. I'll give you detention for a month with that kind of attitude.'

She looked attentive. 'Well, maybe I should act that way more often. You know how much I love detention, sir.'

He squeezed her bum and planted a kiss on her lips. 'We'll see if you act any better, but for now, I'd like to curl up and hear your gentle heartbeat melt with mine. What do you say?'

She acted like she was thinking about it before snuggling into his neck and placing a chaste kiss on his Adam's apple. 'I'd say yes to that any day.'

His hand rose to the dip in her side, resting there as he moved his fingers in circles around her silken skin. 'What a happy serpent you make me, my dear Goddess.'

Sighing, she snuggled into him a bit more. He kissed her forehead before his breath became more and more slowed. Jordan was nestled and happy as her heartbeat did indeed mesh with his, a lifeline that would hold them together through thick and thin.
