{A/N: Here's Another Update...}

My Thanks To All My Readers And Reviewers Enjoy -S.S

The Study,12 Grimmauld Place, Muggle World...

Dark eyes had been adjusting to the newfound darkness that surrounded them as the notorious Sirius Black, made his way inside his given bedroom at the very manor in which he called home as a young lad before being carted off to Azkaban. His smooth strides had been something of merth as he recalled the sight of the wizard known as Severus Snape in the most compromised position to date. Licking his lips, he had taken in the ample detail that had been before him, more fodder for his fiendish fantasies and more so for his resolve in proceeding with his plan. The crackling of a nearby fireplace had been the only sound aside from his weighted breath. Severus had become even more impressive since last he'd seen him, unabashed by the numerous scars that lined his lean pale form and just as lost to his lust as he had been as a boy. The images of the boy Severus gave way to the now fully grown man as Sirius slinked into his nearby arm chair, pleased as far as his eyes had been concerned. It wouldn't be long now before everyone arrived and Severus Snape would be included. It had been almost tempting to corner the Potions Master alone in the basement but it had been an unwise course of action given that Dumbledore and Harry both would be present for these meetings.

"Patience." Sirius said to himself. "Soon he will be all mine."

As Sirius lounged beside the fire, he had not been privy to the approach of the sheepish looking werewolf in the form of former Professor Remus Lupin.

"Who will be all yours?" asked the curious hound tilting his head in the manner of dogs when confused about a sound.

Sirius rolled his eyes not at all wishing to discuss his private affairs with the likes of Lupin despite their past association.

"The despot." recovered Sirius rather quickly. "Merlin knows I owe him a lump or two for all he's done to my godson."

Lupin looked upon Sirius rather curiously for a few moments before turning his attention to the fire.

"Another dreary meeting." he remarked. "No doubt Severus will show."

"So what if he does?" asked Sirius as if he had not a care one way or another.

"When he does, you will steer clear of him." warned Lupin. "Or need I remind you of the contempt he feels for you?"

"I don't need your badgering Remus." growled Sirius Black in agaitation. "Snivellus is not in need of your charity."

Lupin glared at his former friend as if studying him for the longest time.

"He may not recall it, Sirius but I remember very well what you are capable of." he said still in the same warning tone.

"That was a long time ago." replied Sirius in his own defense. "Just a prank between boys."

"And if I had killed or infected him?" asked Lupin with his dark eyes narrowed.

"You did nothing of the sort, besides I'd have never let it get that far." replied Sirius, "Snivellus just needed to be reminded of his place in life is all."

"I mean it Sirius, steer clear of him." warned Lupin once more.

"I don't take orders from you Remus." replied Sirius. "This is my house and I do what I damn well please."

Lupin rolled his eyes.

"If you insist on provoking Severus, you are on your own...don't expect me or anyone else to assist you..." he warned. "Incase you have forgotten, James and Lily aren't around to protect you from him any longer and the obvious rage he gets when in your presence is a clear indication of just how much he loathes you."

"Duly noted." replied Sirius in his same nonchalant attitude. "You can go now."

Lupin shook his head and took his leave of Sirius muttering about him being a "Petulant child."

Sirius turned his attention back to the crackling log alight within the nearby fireplace. His dark eyes seemed to brighten with the infinate possiblites and all too familiar memories of his encounters with the dreaded Potions Professor.

"Soon you will be mine." said Sirius again satisfied with the current state of things.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Upstairs, 12 Grimmauld Place, Muggle World...

Hermione Granger had been a bundle of nerves as she attempted to figure out the reason Dumbledore had summoned everyone to Sirius Black's manor. As much as she despised Voldemort, she had been feeling even more disgusted with the likes of Sirius Black as of late and the knowledge of what he'd done to her beloved Severus had been eating away at her. Climbing the familiar old wood staircase, the amber eyed witch found herself recalling a good deal of old memories pertaining to the unconventionally charming wizard that dwelled there. Her disgust seemed to rise all the more as memories of the past came flooding into the forfront of her mind bringing with it the rage that she'd long since buried. From what her mind could make out, she'd made the trek up the steps multiple times in the past, meeting with her friends and those that had been on the same mind to rid the world of evils like the despot Voldemort even then.

A group of friends meeting in secret while keeping a few secrets of their own respectively. She recalled all too well that Severus, had been innocent in that time. As innocent as he could have been given his upbringing, and she would not stand for him coming to harm no matter the party responsible.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Some Years Prior...

Rage seemed to build to a breaking point as Eveyln Shaw made her way up the wooden steps toward Sirius Black's bedroom door. The blazing heat behind her eyes driving her forward as she could do little to stop herself from bursting through the door causing it to splinter with a well placed kick and the knob smashing into the nearby wall. The seemingly charming Gryffindor wizard had been naked scrambling off his bed as a young lad fumbled from beneath the covers drapped along the rather messy bed. The crackling of the fireplace had been in the background the only sound aside from the occasional grunts and groans that echoed throughout the room before her forced entry.

"Well if it isn't the pregnant floozy." growled Sirius not in the least ashamed of his current predicument. "Come to steal another suitor from me or is this a social call?"

"I know what you did to him, you twisted bag of cow dung!" hissed Evie not at all intending to let up on her rage. "My husband is not your plaything and he will be in the life of his child whither you like it or not."

"That...child...shouldn't even exist in the first place!" hissed an enraged Sirius Black. "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO INTERFER IN WHAT WE HAD!"

"What you had?" replied Evie still very much enraged. "You mean your sickening assaults in the dead of night or whenever you believed him to have been alone?"

"You know nothing of our relationship." scoffed Sirius Black rolling his eyes as he moved toward his casual bar and poured himself a drink. "You know nothing of how he takes me and holds me in his embrace...he loves me and if not for your meddling we'd be together still."

Evelyn could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"You truly are delusional if you believe Severus wants anything to do with you...especially in a romantic sense...you are a demented and depraved lunitic and he would sooner kill you than spend the night of his own free will." she countered. "Severus is MY HUSBAND, and this is HIS CHILD...you do not fit in the equation of our lives at all and if you wish to continue to harbor your twisted little secrets for James Potter to think the world of you, you'd do well to steer clear of MY HUSBAND!"

"You think the idel threats of a whore impress me?" asked Sirius Black with a sneer. "Snivellus' cock belongs to me and to me alone...the mere fact that you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time pales in comparrison to what we share."

"Go to hell Sirius." said Eveyln enraged.

"You first Eveyln." replied Sirius casually.

"If you even think about getting near my husband again, I shall ensure you lose everything you hold dear and everyone will know just what kind of sick monster you truly are...especially James Potter." warned Evelyn before taking her leave.

Enraged, Sirius Black smashed his glass against the nearby wall before gathering himself via a means to obtain vengance. Evelyn was not going to get the last laugh nor was she going to be the one to wind up with Severus Snape...he would make sure of it, child or no child.

Current Time...

Hermione had been silently staring out a nearby window when she found herself swept into the arms of her ebony clad lover. There had been no trace of anyone else in the house but she began to relax in his embrace. Knowing him all too well, he'd come to check in on her after her arrival before the manor became crowded and the opportunities slim. Snape had watched the seemingly contemplating young witch for a few moments puzzled as to what had been going through her mind before he approached her. She seemed to tremble at his touch and when she finally did notice him, she clung to him for dear life it seemed.

"Are you alright?" he asked studying her for a few moments.

Hermione had been startled by his presence at first and then grateful. It would appear she had confronted Sirius Black once before about what he had done to Severus and during that time she assumed it had been enough to keep the twisted desires of the Gryffindor wizard at bay but it seemed to only provoke him all the more.

"Hermione..." said Snape looking her over with concern. "I asked you a question witch."

"I-I'm fine." she replied. "It's just...these past few days have been a lot to take in."

Snape seemed to understand. Sirius Black of all people knowing about their affair had been less than ideal but he knew he could find a way to keep the mutt's mouth shut if only to spare Hermione any indignities.

"It'll be alright." he urged stroking her tear stained cheek before capturing her lips in a heartfelt kiss.

Try as he might to ignore the emotions swirling inside him for the sake of appearances, he had not liked the idea of keeping his distance from her for very long.

"Severus..." she began as he pulled away.

"I know." he replied knowing full well what she'd been about to say. "But I had to see you."

"I know." replied Hermione in agreement. "But tonight...we must be extra careful everyone is watching or soon will be."

Snape nodded in agreement before stealing one last kiss of the night and taking his leave of the woman he loved stolen from him via time and deception.

They both had their respective parts to play if only to avoid suspcion and a summons to see to.
