Chapter 48 – Breakfast, Morning Fun, and Preparing for the Inevitable

"Are you alright love?" Severus asked her as soon as he was sure Remus had gone away.

Hermione nodded.

"Let's just get dressed and get this over with. The sooner I talk, the sooner we can leave" she said as she buried her head into his shoulder.

Severus muttered an agreement and then his thoughts turned to something else.

"Hermione, I just wanted to say that if I have ever made you feel uncomfortable, or if I ever do, I want you to tell me and not be afraid to tell me. I hate to say it but Lupin is right and I will personally deliver myself to him wandless if I ever hurt you" Severus told her.

She kissed him gently.

"I trust that you never will Severus" she said.

They got dressed and ready and headed downstairs to breakfast.

They walked in and everyone was already seated, all the Order members were there, including Dumbledore, who had been non-existent for a month. The kitchen was packed and there was only just about enough space to squeeze Hermione and Severus in. They may as well have been packed like sardines.

Remus had already taken his seat next to Tonks and had apparently kept to his word seeing as Severus was still standing.

"Come and get a fully cooked breakfast you two" Molly ordered the two of them. They both crammed themselves into their seats next to each other, McGonagall on Severus' other side and Arthur on Hermione's.

"Good morning Hermione" Arthur greeted cheerfully.

"Good morning Mr Weasley" Hermione said politely.

"Did you sleep well, Molly told me that you and Severus arrived awfully late last night" Arthur asked her.

"I slept well, thank you, we did arrive late but it was better that way - less eyes to see us leave" she replied.

"Ah yes, that was a good idea. Have you any plans for the holiday?" Arthur asked.

"Er, not really, I think I'm just going to relax a little, I've been looking forward to this break for a while" Hermione admitted.

Severus scoffed.

"Wow, Hermione Granger wanting to relax and not overwork herself to death, someone alert the Daily Prophet!" Severus exclaimed.

Hermione rolled her eyes and was about to reply when she thought better of it, it was all about keeping up appearances after all. The only indication that she gave was her knee nudging Severus' under the table. Hermione would definitely pay him back for that one.

She hid a smirk as a wicked idea hit her.

As so many people were squeezed together, Hermione knew that she could get away with a little fun, and teach Severus a lesson.

She picked up her fork with one hand, and began to eat her breakfast that Molly had just placed in front of her, and she let her other hand drift under the table and her fingers started drawing circles on Severus' knee.

Severus looked at her curiously as she continued her conversation with Arthur. Severus concluded that she was doing subconsciously as a way of comfort for herself so, he let her.

Severus was just cutting into his bacon, when her hand moved further up his left thigh. Hermione's hand made its way to the top of Severus' thigh where she began slowly massaging the inside of the thigh, a spot she knew turned Severus on.

Severus froze and just about caught the groan that was about to escape from his mouth, however, a small noise did manage to make it past his lips. Fortunately, the only ones who noticed were Minerva, Arthur, Hermione, and Remus - who had been watching them from across the table.

"Molly makes a delicious breakfast, this bacon is amazing" Severus muttered just for them - and Molly -to hear.

Arthur smiled and Molly thanked him, she was pleasantly surprised, she never normally got such high praise from the strict Professor.

They went back to eating and Severus tried to send a subtle warning glance to Hermione, but she was facing away from him again and had engaged in a conversation with Tonks.

Hermione was still massaging Severus' thigh and she let her little finger slowly start teasing Severus balls and cock. Severus had to hold his breath. He slowly moved his hand down under the table to try and pry her off his leg but she held her hand firm and he knew he would draw too much attention to himself if he tried to harshly push her away. He noticed Lupin starting to look at him curiously and went back to eating his meal, as if his Hermione did not have her hand now glued to his rapidly hardening dick.

She began to slowly, teasingly, move her hand up and down his now fully erect length and Severus could already feel his insides ignite. It had been a while since he and Hermione had been together, and sharing a bed with her near naked form last night had not helped matters. He had awoken hard and throbbing against her that morning and that was the reason why he did not immediately stand to confront Lupin. No, instead he had to remain hidden under the duvet until his stubborn cock decided to give in and wilt. It had taken long enough, even with Lupin's presence.

But now, he was really in need and all he could think about was relief, he suddenly regretted not putting on any underwear under his trousers before coming down this morning. However, he refused to soil his trousers at the breakfast table with the rest of the Order present. No, he would just have to keep himself in control.

It proved difficult, after another couple of minutes, Severus was trying not to let on how breathless he was becoming and had resorted to periodically holding his breath when an intense wave of pleasure hit. Severus was slowly gaining the complete attention of Minerva and Lupin, and they were both looking at him wondering what the hell was going on.

Hermione applied the right amount of pressure and Severus felt his trousers moisten slightly, he gasped in quiet surprise. The pre-cum had leaked from the top of his traitorous cock and he knew it would only be a short while before he exploded in his trousers.

Lupin fully understood what was going on now as his heightened wolf senses could tell him as much and he instantly blushed and averted his eyes to Hermione, who was still innocently wrapped up in conversation. Minerva heard Severus' gasp and looked at the man worriedly. Had he been to a Death Eater meeting and been hurt? Had he suddenly remembered something important? She remained watching and wondering what was wrong.

Severus however, was on the brink of release. He could feel himself start to sweat from the effort of restraining himself. All he could hear was white noise in his ears where he was fully concentrating on not embarrassing himself, or making any noise. He was about to cum when Hermione let go of him, and her hand retreated out from under the table as she nonchalantly carried on her conversation.

Severus had prepared himself for a climax that now wasn't going to happen. His dick protested painfully as it still throbbed heavily in his trousers.

Severus wanted to get up and leave the room so he could take care of the issue but he realised he was still sitting on his robe and in order to leave he would have to cover himself with it, as his mistake to forego underwear made his situation obvious. The problem was that to get his robe, he would have to stand up, again he refused to stand up in front of everyone with the crotch of his trousers bulging obviously. He resigned himself to have to wait awhile until his erection went away.

He wanted to curse the girl but at the same time he wanted her to finish what she had started - damn minx. He would get his revenge.

Severus shifted backward slightly so he could inspect if there had been any damage done to the front of his trousers. He could see some small wet patches where he had pre-cum. Minerva, who had been watching Severus like a hawk, followed his gaze downwards to his lap and saw the state of the man's trousers. She tried not to gasp and immediately looked up, out of the corner of her eye she noticed Severus give Hermione a glare.

'Surely Miss Granger wouldn't -' Minerva's thought process was broken when she saw Hermione subtly look at Severus, then quickly down at his lap, then back up to his face with a gleam in her eyes and a hidden smirk on her lips.

Minerva McGonagall almost had a heart attack right there. She was a very old fashioned witch, and she could not believe what she had just seen.

She took note of Severus' slightly sweaty forehead, and the crimson colouring to his cheeks, before deciding that she would talk to the pair of them a bit later about behaviour around the breakfast table.

Breakfast finished shortly after and now it was time for the inevitable but no one knew how to voice what was going to happen next. Hermione decided that she should speak.

"Look, I know you all want to hear my story and you all have questions. So, can I suggest that we meet comfortably in the lounge area in about an hour? That way, we can let Molly's delicious breakfast go down a little bit, I don't want to make anyone ill with my story, and I have the chance to grab a quick shower. Is that agreeable with everyone?" she asked.

They all agreed, although Dumbledore did not seem so pleased to procrastinate the meeting. But everyone was against him and so he would just have to suck it up. To be honest, Hermione had completely forgotten he was there. However, this was her story and she was going to tell it her way.

Everyone got up to move around and prepare to go back to their rooms. Arthur went to send a floo message to the other Order members, such as Moody and the ministry workers, who wanted to be present for Hermione's story and told them to be there in an hour.

Severus saw an opportunity, whilst everyone was moving about, to grab his robe and quickly put it around him. Hermione quickly left the kitchen and she bounded up the stairs, towards her shared room, as quickly as she possibly could. She knew Severus would make her pay for what she had done to him at the breakfast table and she was trying to get a head start. She knew if she could make it to the room before he did, she could lock herself in the bathroom.

She threw open the bedroom door and turned to shut it behind her. She leaned her forehead against it for a moment to catch her breath and she then put her ear up to the door to see if she could hear any movement close by on the stairs. After a few moments of hearing nothing, she exhaled in relief. Severus must have got caught up talking to Minerva or another Order member.

She quickly turned around, intending to get her toiletries together so she could get a shower, however, she ran straight into a wall.

The impact was so hard and sudden that she fell back on her arse, in shock she looked up to see Severus looking down at her with his arms folded. How he had managed to beat her to the bedroom, she would never know. She was too shocked to question it.

"And what was that little display about?" He asked her.

She gulped.

"I was nervous, and it took my mind off everything" she admitted.

"Do you know how dangerous that was?! Both Lupin and Minerva knew what was going on. If anyone else had noticed-" he left the sentence hanging.

"I'm sorry Severus, I didn't mean to put you in that position, but watching you trying to keep control was so arousing, I nearly chewed my lip off" she told him.

She stood up and Severus immediately moved menacingly towards her, trapping her between his body and the door. Hermione could feel his rock hard erection against her stomach and gasped.

"You're hard again?" She asked a little breathlessly.

Severus shook his head.

"I'm hard still" he whispered against her neck, correcting her. He slowly pulled her shirt up and over her head.

"Gods" she moaned as he nibbled on her neck, and kissed down her chest and stomach. His hands drifted towards her trousers.

He pulled her trousers off and was met with the sight, and scent, of her arousal on her knickers and he leaned forward to kiss the tops of her thighs.

Hermione moaned and Severus moved her towards the bed. He lay her down and took off his own shirt and trousers.

"You're going to finish what you started Minx" he said to her.

She made a pleasured noise of agreement, as he lay on top of her. He ground his cock against her arousal and the pair of them moaned.

Hermione grabbed his head and pulled him down to her so that she could snog him senseless. She secured her legs around his waist and ground into him.

That was their last shred of control. In the next few moments, they were both completely naked, their bodies were on fire and Hermione could hardly take it anymore.

"Please" she begged.

"Tell me what you want" Severus said to her.

"Please, I want you inside me" she gasped out; her body painfully wanted him now.

"Maybe I should leave you a little longer as punishment" he growled in her ear.

"Fuck" she screamed, almost in tears at the pressure she was feeling.

"Hurry up, please! I will do anything" she begged him again.

"Anything?" He asked breathlessly, she quickly nodded.

"Like what" he pressed, purposefully prolonging her bliss filled agony. He teased her entrance with his cock and stopped with his tip just inside her, he waited.

She moaned.

"I will help you tidy your cupboards, mark essays, whatever you want, just please do it! I will wash your broomstick" she screamed.

"How do you plan to do that if I don't have a broomstick" Severus teased.

"Who said I was speaking literally" she said as she flexed her opening around Severus length.

That was Severus' undoing and he pushed himself inside her in one deep thrust.

Hermione screamed in pleasure and Severus had to clench all his muscles as his body threatened to release.

"Please move" Hermione begged after a moment.

Severus did just that, the two of them found a steady rhythm and Severus watched Hermione's flushed face in pleasure.

Severus was getting closer to climax and so he pushed harder and deeper inside of her, hitting that spot inside her that drove her wild.

"Fuck" she screamed repeatedly, she was on the edge, she felt an odd build up in her body and Hermione felt for one short second like she was about to pee but she didn't have time for that as her body released and she orgasmed hard around him.

Severus felt Hermione's orgasm, he could feel her juices flow out of her like Niagara Falls and he couldn't believe it. Had she just ejaculated? The thought sent Severus over the edge and he came hard. They rode out their climaxes and eventually collapsed in bliss.

Severus grinned at her post-sex body; Hermione opened her eyes and looked embarrassed at Severus. Severus frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm sorry I think I peed on you" she said so quickly that Severus almost missed what she had said.

"What?" Severus asked.

"I felt it, I peed on you, just look at the bedsheets" she gestured to the large wet patch spread out on the sheets.

Severus chuckled. Hermione was confused, how was he taking this so calmly?

"You didn't urinate on me, I can assure you. What you just experienced was ejaculation. It's very rare but highly pleasurable for the female, as I understand it" he informed her.

Hermione blushed; she had only ever heard about that in the rough, dirty, romance books that her mother used to keep hidden from her.

"It certainly helped you 'wash my broom', didn't it?" He asked rhetorically.

Hermione groaned in embarrassment but giggled.

"I cannot believe I said that, I never thought I would be one for dirty talk" she said through laughter.

"It is surprising what sex makes you say and do" Severus agreed.

They both laughed a little more and then Severus finally sat up.

"We need to get cleaned up and dressed, we are due back downstairs in about twenty minutes" Severus said.

"Twenty minutes?" Hermione shrieked, immediately running for the bathroom and jumping in the shower.

Severus chuckled at her and then went about casting some cleansing charms on the bedsheets, and he separated the beds, and put the two of them back where they were on opposite sides of the room, just in case anyone else should come in.

Hermione emerged from the shower, her quickest shower ever, and she indicated that Severus was welcome to use the shower and she would dress in the bedroom. Severus entered the bathroom and got in the shower.

.

Hermione dressed and she heard the shower in the bathroom turn off and so she waited for Severus to finish in the bathroom. However, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door. She opened, it was Tonks and Remus.

"Hey Hermione" Tonks said as she entered the room with Remus behind her.

"Tonks!" Hermione exclaimed loudly, and enthusiastically, in greeting as the two girls hugged. Hermione was secretly hoping that she had shouted loud enough that Severus had heard and would not walk out in just a towel or in the nude. That would cause problems.

"We've just come to see how you are and if you wanted anything before you went downstairs" Tonks asked.

Hermione shook her head.

"No thank you Tonks, I'm all ready" she said confidently.

"Excellent, well I just need to speak with Molly and then we will be waiting downstairs" she said as she skipped out of the room.

Remus waited in the room for a moment and was about to say something when he picked up a familiar scent, the scent of sweat, musk, arousal, and sex. Remus froze and stared at Hermione, who was looking confusedly at him.

Severus chose that moment to exit the bathroom, dressed and ready to go downstairs.

Remus stared at the two in disbelief and looked like he wanted to say something. Severus guessed that Lupin's wolf senses had picked up on the smell of sex in the room and Severus smirked. Remus' eyes were wide and his mouth hung open as he tried to formulate a sentence. Instead, he turned a little green and promptly left the room.

Severus chuckled.

"What was that about?" Hermione asked perplexed.

"He's a wolf, heightened sense of smell" Severus said.

Hermione gasped and flushed red in embarrassment.

"You mean he could smell sex?" She asked.

"Basically" Severus confirmed, nodding.

Hermione grimaced at the thought. However, now was not the time. Downstairs there was the whole Order waiting for her, to hear her story. She just needed to get through the next couple of hours and it would be over. They would all know everything and she and Severus could look forward to a break.

"You ready?" Severus asked.

"I'm ready" she said.

The pair left the room and headed downstairs.
