Chapter 73

Hermione smiled while they walked toward the shrieking shack. She wanted him to have a nice birthday. He kissed her neck as they entered the room. They started kissing while inside the room. Hermione took care of making the room nice before they went to it. She warded the house just in case any of the marauders had the brilliant idea of going there on a Monday night. She wore a nice dress and prepared dinner, well, Winky did. She took care of getting him there under the passage with the Marauders' Map. Lily convinced James to let her borrow it. They were together now, and it seemed for good. As far as Hermione was aware James had not tried anything against Severus.

They ate his favorites and then Hermione gave him her gift. She knew he would love it. It was a simple thing but she knew that he would be very appreciative. She presented him with a slip of paper.

"Rickety." He read and frowned.

"It's the Gryffindor password." She said with a small smile.

Severus grinned and kissed her deeply, "I can go tonight then and every night afterwards." He said and kissed her some more before she could say anything more.

Hermione kissed him and carded her fingers over his hair. She knew he loved that. "Yes, but there are rules. We have to be more careful than ever. You very well know that Sirius, James and Peter will do next to the impossible to have you out of the school. Maybe James could be deterred. You'll wear the cloak and I will walk with you. We can't have the Fat Lady say that you came in every night and had the passwords. And no one can see you leave your common room or get in." She said between kisses and caresses.

"Yes. Now, my other present." He said and filthily lowered her face to his erection.

"Good boys get their cocks sucked." She rasped and felt him twitch under her gaze.

Hermione tied her hair in a bun and dropped to her knees. Severus licked his lips and let her unbuckle him. She set to work soon enough. Severus moaned, it always made her laugh that he always had that look of pure surprise when she licked him. She must have blowed him more than a thousand times over these years and he always hesitated and looked as if afraid to placed his hands where he wanted them. Severus finally did what he wanted to which was play with her hair. He rutted against her. "I want to finish inside of you."

Hermione gave him one last lick before she stood up and took him to bed. Hermione undid her blouse and skirt. She wore lacy sea foam green knickers and no brassiere. Severus went for her breasts. He always did. He bit her right breast and then moved back to look at his handiwork. He touched her belly button with his index finger. She squirmed when he got to her knickers. "You are wet."

She smiled and arched her back when he touched her clit. Severus nuzzled her neck. "How would you like me to fuck you?"

"It's your birthday." She said feebly as he lowered her underwear.

"It is. I am very aware. How would you like me to fuck you?" He asked once more. His voice was husky and Hermione rubbed her thighs together. "Legs over your shoulders." She gasped when he brought her close to his erection. "The charm." He said. Hermione shook her head. "Potion." She mumbled. Hermione took it every morning.

Severus drove in slowly. She moaned and tried to reach whichever part of him was closer. Hermione moved to meet his thrusts and found that Severus held back. She contracted her muscles and Severus brought her even closer. He felt so big inside of her. Hermione was on his lap and he still managed to move her closer to him. She bit his neck and came around him. He gasped when she orgasmed. He found her lips and kissed her until they were both breathless. They shook in each other's arms and then rested for a bit.

"You're amazing." He chuckled and grabbed her torso.

They fucked once more before going back to the castle. "You smell like sex." He said as they went back through the tunnel. Hermione nodded. "We both do. What do you say to a bath? Lily gave me the password to the prefects' loo."

So they went and bathed. She rinsed Sev's hair, "it's getting too long again." She mused.

Severus shrugged and let her play with his hair. "I'll have Narcissa cut it soon."

Hermione frowned, "why her?"

Hermione disliked Narcissa on the principle that she bore Severus a child. "She knows how I like it." Severus finished.

"Actually, I prefer you with long hair." Hermione said trying not to betray the jealousy she felt. Severus always had a barber cut his hair. He got two haircuts since they came back. She always assumed it was either him or Madam Pomfrey.

Severus played with her hands. They stayed until they heard someone try to get inside. Hermione stood up and dried herself. "Quickly, wear the cloak." Severus dressed and hid under the cloak. Hermione took a deep breath and walked ahead of him. Severus very close behind her.

She came face to face with Remus. "Hi. Hermione." He smiled at her.

"Hi Remus, sorry time got away from me." She said and waved at him. He shook his head and entered the room. Hermione walked to the tower and entered the common room. Peter and Sirius did homework by the fireplace. James and Lily snogged by one of the couches. Hermione moved up the steps. She heard Severus behind her. "I'm going to fly to your landing." He whispered.

Hermione left the door open. Severus came a few seconds later. He sighed and jumped to her bed. Hermione smiled and slept quite easily. Severus had to leave well before daybreak. He barely woke her up before leaving.

Lily dragged her from breakfast two weeks later. "I am going to sleep with James this weekend." It was Friday. Hermione blinked. "Very well."

Lily rolled her eyes, "I need your help."

"How?" She asked her.

"None of us are allowed to Hogsmeade because of what happened." Lily said simply. "Well, it was Sirius' idea. We are going to have a gathering in the Gryffindor common room. All of the seventh years are invited." Lily said. Hermione frowned. It was a Hogsmeade weekend. "You know there will be less people. Don't look so sour. It is a good idea."

"Is everyone invited?" Hermione doubted there would be Slytherins in there.

"Yes, Sirius invited the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Marlene invited Rosier. They all know. I talked to Sev, just now. He said he could come." Lily rushed out.

Hermione frowned, "did you tell him you plan to sleep with James?"

"No, don't be disgusting. Hermione, don't take the mickey. I need your help." Lily continued.

Hermione sighed, "how may I be of help?"

Lily grinned, "I need you to make sure the rest of the marauders get high or drunk enough to not go up to their dorm. I thought of ours but James cannot get past the stairs."

"Fine but you have to be careful. Take the potion and make him use the charm." Hermione said with a grin.

"Do you know what you're going to wear?" Hermione then asked her with a smirk.

Lily blushed, "I do. I bought some things. I'll show you later." She said as they walked to History of Magic.

Hermione helped Lily with her hair for the party. She wore a long French braid and a blue dress. Hermione wore a green jumper and black jeans. She had to give it to Sirius. He was inventive. He placed a charm on the dorm doors. They would only let seventh years out to the common room. It was entirely a party for seventh years. The other students would come in pairs with a Gryffindor. It took the better of two hours to have everyone inside of the common room. Lily and Hermione went down to a full house. She smiled when he saw Severus speaking with Rosier and Narcissa. She also saw Mulciber and Travers somewhere. She joined Severus and kissed his lips. Narcissa made a face. Hermione smiled at her.

Sirius glared at Severus and approached him. "Cissy." He said and kissed her forehead.

"Did you bring it?" He asked her.

"You know very well he did. You two can talk to each other. You are such children." Narcissa said. Severus then pulled out his sound system and music began to play. Rosier helped with some speakers. Sirius nodded and left them.

Hermione smiled at him, "Look at you fraternizing with the Blacks." Severus smiled and kissed her some more.

Muggle and wizarding music began to play. It was strange to hear the Weird Sisters and Rolling Stones. Severus drank some butterbeer and contraband firewhisky.

"The mutt was in charge of liquor and the place. We provided the music. Hufflepuff arrived with food and the Ravenclaws brought some pot." Severus replied.

Hermione frowned, "did this happen before?"

"No." Severus smoked a regular cigarette then.

"Why did you accept?" Hermione asked.

"I think we all need some fun. I also owe Lily, this is my birthday gift. I have decided to not hate the marauders tonight so she may do her thing." Severus replied.

"You know about it?" Hermione asked as she drank some clearly spiked pumpkin juice.

"Of course I do. It was written all over her mind." He said.

Hermione took him to the dance floor, they moved to a wizarding song, "you can't do that. I've told you."

Severus frowned, "you know I can't always help it. I am not purposely looking for my best friend's dirty thoughts about the toerag."

Hermione laughed, "serves you right."

He twirled her a bit. "that girl is mad. She wants to smell his armpits."

Hermione laughed and kissed him. "How did those ideas make you feel?"

Severus grabbed her arse, "disgusted since Lily is a child and a dearest friend."

She laughed once more. They danced to five more songs before they spotted Lily. She was by herself. Hermione dragged Severus with her. "Give her the gift."

Severus glared at her, "you are a pushy witch." He said but offered Lily a small parcel.

"It's from both of us." Hermione said. Severus and her thought long and hard about what to get Lily. They finally agreed on something rather silly.

Lily hugged them both. "Thank you." She said and squealed once more when she read the paper. "Lifetime supply of Honeyduke's chocolates."

Severus often joked that Lily was a chocolate junkie. Hermione agreed. "It is not a gag gift Lils. It truly is for a lifetime. Severus spent quite a pretty galleon."

Lily grinned, "well. He is made of money, this one. James told me."

Severus frowned, "gold digger. You and my lovely wife."

"Wife?" Remus asked with a pale face.

Hermione felt bad for him, "future wife." Severus corrected. "I will make an honest woman out of you Granger."

Hermione dragged him away from Lily and Remus. He saw James approaching.

Severus and her danced to a few more songs. She drank a few shots and made sure that both Peter and Sirius drank their fill as well. Severus talked to Rosier and danced with Narcissa once. She danced with Remus. Severus left Narcissa and danced with Hermione.

"I don't want you near the werewolf." He kissed her neck as they slow danced.

Remus danced with Narcissa who was too polite to refuse. Hermione saw as Severus offered some marijuana to Remus who took it. Narcissa wrinkled her nose but drank two shots of vodka. Peter and Sirius did not need encouragement. They drank with Marlene and Vance. It was a drinking game it seemed. Severus smoked and raised the volume to "Werewolves of London."

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Aaoooooo
Werewolves of London
Aaoooooo

Hermione was mortified but watched as Remus danced heartily with Helena Travers and one Narcissa who seemed more interested in Remus now. Hermione shook her head, "lighten up." Severus said and they continued dancing. "No one cares or knows for that matter.

You hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Aaoooooo
Werewolves of London
Aaoooooo

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor

Aaoooooo
Werewolves of London
Aaoooooo

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect

Aaoooooo
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

Aaoooooo
Werewolves of London

Hermione listened to Severus and lightened up. They danced, drank and played more games. Severus and enjoyed herself. She played danced.

Lily danced with her and Severus.

"You have to know this one." Lily said and pointed her wand at the stereo and a very catchy song began to play.

Lily extended her hand to Severus. "You have to show it. You know you want to."

Severus shook his head, "no, I will not."

Hermione grinned a pushed him to Lily. "Now you have to show me." She said.

"Yeah, mmm, yeah
Do you know that some folks know about it, some don't
Some will learn to shout it, some won't
But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
Say you're gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty
Now let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
Now yeah, mmm, nitty gritty now
Ooooowee, right down to the real nitty gritty
Ooooowee, can you feel it double beatin', I keep repeatin
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Say it again double beatin'

Hermione watched as Severus danced with a laughing Lily. She knew that her Severus was a good dancer but she always thought that it was an acquired skill later in life. It appeared young Severus was a dancer before his time.

Get on down, we gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Let's get, let's get right on down to the real nitty gritty
It's all right, it's all right
Get on down, get on down
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Listen to me now
Oooowee, ooowee
Come on and let the good times roll
Let the music sink down in to your soul
Double beatin', keep repeatin'
You gotta get right down to the really nitty gritty
Get on down, get on down
Talkin' about the nitty gritty
Get on down, get on down."

Lily and him matched each other's moves. They were one person when dancing. James frowned and tried to move and cause a scene. Remus was there to stop him. Hermione pulled Sev. "When did you learn this?"

"Lily forced me. She made me practice after Tuney decided to not dance with her anymore. It was horrible. I suppose I never forgot." He said while Lily went to James who tried to not look put out. Lily kissed him soundly and pulled him to the foot of the stairs from the boys' dorms. Hermione tried to dance with Severus. Remus joined. He also knew the moves.

"I'm surprised you don't know the steps." He laughed. They played it again and Sirius tried his hand with Narcissa.

"I am a complete klutz." Hermione drank some butterbeer. Remus and Severus laughed but did not contradict her.

Severus pulled her from Remus' attention. They danced to another song.

"Do me a favor?" She said quickly.

"What?" He asked as he kissed her neck.

"Make sure that the marauders do not go to their dorm." She said.

"Black just left with Marlene. I doubt that he will come back any time tonight. The rat is passed out by the fire. "Somnus." He whispered. "He won't wake up until noon tomorrow."

"So smart." She said and grabbed his hand. "What about Remus?" She asked.

Severus pulled her hair back and touched her face, "my love. He knows. He saw them go up. Why do you think he joined and drew the crowd to dance some more?"

Hermione grinned, "Where are we going?" He asked her when she pulled on his hand.

"To my dorm room. I want you to fuck me." She kissed him more and more. Hermione was drunk and randy.

She looked around the room. There were very few people left. Remus ushered a few stragglers out of the portrait hole. She decided to take her chances. "Fly us up." She said.

He did. She exchanged looks with Remus, who looked crestfallen. He watched her with resignation, all of his hopes finally dashed. As much as Hermione minimized his feeling for her to Severus, she knew that Remus was in love with her. It was painful but he needed to understand that Severus and her were destined. She would not give Severus up or stop loving him. She knew she broke Remus' heart that night.
