1 Chapter 4
An Afternoon Out
That evening, Snape had fallen asleep in Mia's bed. He woke with a start when he felt an arm reach around him and hug his firm chest. Hot breath on his back was his next sensation as Mia began to speak. "Did you forget about me already?"
A smile overtook his lips as he answered, "Sorry. I'm not used to waking up with a woman beside me."
"Trust me, it's been a while on my end as well." Snape rolled over on his back and turned his face to look at Mia. If it was possible she looked more beautiful that she had the evening before. Her long golden hair hung on her smooth shoulders and her eyes sparkled with renewed vigor. She had wrapped the comforter around her so that Snape could only see to the tops of her flawless breasts. He wrapped an arm around her and hugged her to him, closing his eyes and reveling in the feeling of her head resting on his chest.
"I don't know what the decree on inter office dating is, but I think that if Dumbledoor walked in at the moment he'd be a little more than shocked."
"Most likely," Snape answered, his eyes still closed in contentment. "Tell me, Professor Cauldwell, what are your plans for the day?"
"Well, seeing as how it's Saturday and I have no classes, I was thinking about going flying with the man that seems to have wandered into my bed. Unless he has some better plan in mind."
"I can think of nothing I'd rather do."
Half an hour later the pair had showered and dressed and snuck out of the room so as not to attract attention. Only one thing had gone wrong for Mia that morning. While she had been having her shower and Severus had been in the adjacent bedroom dressing, Mia had been violently ill. A warning went off in her brain, as it would in any woman's who had indulged in an evening of unprotected copulation, but she had written it off as her inability to properly digest fish, which had been served for dinner the prior evening. Denial can be a funny thing.
Mia and Severus had decided to fly to a clearing in the forbidden forest where they had been prone to go as students. They packed an ample amount of cauldron cakes, sandwiches, and pumpkin juice so that they could stop beside the crystal stream in the woods to eat and catch up on old times. It was funny that they had been together for a full week and still hadn't had enough of revisiting their pasts.
The afternoon had been uneventful for the most part, save for the fact that Mia had nearly fallen off her broom when Potter's infernal owl had refused to move over for her fifty feet above the ground. When the pair returned to the castle that evening Dumbledoor had been on the steps waiting for them. Like a pair of teenagers who had snuck out of the house to find their parents waiting up, Mia and Severus landed apprehensively and began walking towards Dumbledoor. "How good of the pair of you to return," Albus began, sounding only half angry.
"I'm sorry, headmaster, I suppose we really hadn't planned on being gone for quite so long," Severus explained.
"He's right, headmaster. We just got caught up in..well..catching up." Mia offered her own explanation.
"Very well, but from now on I must insist that you inform me when you'll be gone for an entire day. Age has it's benefits, and one of them is being allowed to worry about your younger friends as if they were your children."
"We understand, Albus," Snape answered sheepishly as he caught himself almost putting his arm around Mia's waist. He remembered just in time that no one was supposed to know about their relationship.
Dumbledoor grinned widely at this and said knowingly, "Severus, do you really think that I don't know what's going on between the two of you? You were inseparable as students. It stands to reason that you should be…exploring other options."
The pair blushed before following Dumbledoor into the great hall for the evening feast.
