I crawl off him and lie next him on the bed. I can my body is wet from perspiration and he has beads of sweat on his forehead. Once my breathing becomes slightly less ragged I roll over on to my stomach and untie his hands. Immediately he holds me. I can feel he loves me, from just this contact. I have never felt so safe or wanted or loved, as I do now. I never want to be with out this feeling, or with out the feeling of love I hold for him.
"So this is how you say thank you? Maybe I should do you favours more often." He chuckles as he runs his hands up and down the bare skin on my back.
"Severus don't ever leave me. I love you!" I burst out unable to control myself.
"This is a bit sudden!" he says in shock.
I can't stop the next words falling out of my mouth.
"I know but I don't want to live my life without you anymore, I have lived with Ron for years and look what he has done. Just promise you won't leave me and you won't do what Ron did." I say as I lose myself in the depths of those dark eyes.
Why did I say that? I sound like some pathetic child!
"I promise." He says softly and kisses me lovingly.
Those two little words took me to a new plane of happiness.
It's incredible really. How for 3 years I have lived with Ron and thought that I truly loved him, and yet I have spent one night of passion with a man I hated throughout my teen years and I now know I really love him. I have never had this closeness with anyone. Except maybe Remus, but he is unable to be here and yet I know I loved him. Then how is it I can love Severus? I give up. If I think about it too much I think my head will explode. Just live for the moment and forget about the past.
"Oh Severus its 12 o'clock! I had a really important class to teach this morning!" I cry as I hurriedly get up and frantically get dressed.
He is still lying on the bed looking at me getting dressed with an amused smile on his face. I stop buttoning my skirt up and look at him.
"What? What's so funny?" I ask standing there with only my underwear and a half buttoned up blouse on.
"Its just that your frantically panicking about a class that you should have taught, but you didn't, and there is no way of teaching it because you don't have the license for the time turner. What are you going to do when you're dressed? Run down to the great hall and realise you can't teach the class and have dinner." He says with the smile still there.
"Oh yeah Severus I suppose your right." I say and give up on the blouse.
"Plus my dear forgetful one, the students have Friday afternoons off, so there are no more classes." He says.
He gets up and walks to a door to the left of the bed and opens it. Looking past him I see he has a bath almost as big as the prefect's one.
"You have a huge bath! Why don't I have one? I only get a stupid shower!" I cry in indignation.
He laughs at me and walks into the bathroom. He turns on a few of the taps and then puts his head back round the door.
"You coming for a bath or what?"
I walk down the passage that leads to Dumbledore's office.
I hate that gargoyle statue he has! It's so creepy.
"Butterbeer." I say and the statue comes to life and moves aside to reveal the small spiral staircase.
I run up it and knock gently on the door.
"Come in!" I hear Dumbledore call from inside.
I open the door slowly and walk in. he looks up and smiles broadly at me. As I walk into the room he motions to the chair in front of his desk. I sit down in silence and wait for him to put down his quill.
He does and then he looks up at me. His eyes are twinkling and he is smiling at me.
"Now Hermione what is it that you wanted?" he asks.
"Oh Dumble.Albus, I just wanted to say I am so sorry for not teaching my classes this morning." I say. I hate the way he is always so understanding, it's unreal and it makes me feel really guilty.
"Well never mind Hermione, I'm sure it won't happen again. And thank you for apologising." He says and picks up his quill again.
"But." I begin, he raises his hand to stop me continuing.
"Hermione I know perfectly well why you were absent from teaching your lessons and I know you are having a bad time with Ron at the minute. In trying to make yourself feel better I think you have found a love you weren't looking for. And I know Severus is a lot happier now, he has always admired you Hermione. He has trouble showing emotion, although maybe not so much now, but he did. I think you should just accept that for once you did something wrong my dear. After all you are human. You are not perfect." He chuckles slightly and watches my take all this in.
I smile and meet his eyes.
"Thank you Albus. I think I just needed to hear that, I suppose I just need to be told that when I panic about a mistake or something."
I get up and leave. As I walk past the gargoyle I bump into someone.
"Severus!" I exclaim as I try not to fall over.
"Guilt got the better of you too?" he asks thoughtfully.
"Yeah but if you go up there he will just tell you its OK and he knows why we were late." I say as I find my hand is brushing a stray hair from his face. I pull it away quickly. He takes it and kisses it softly.
"Do you want to come back to my room for a drink then?" he asks.
"Now Severus we both know what happened last time I came to your room for a drink." I laugh. "How about you come to my room it is closer."
He looks slightly apprehensive.
"Isn't your room in Gryffindor tower?" he asks.
"Yes but you don't have to walk through the common room. The entrance to my room is down the corridor a bit." I say.
Its amazing that he still worries what people think about him.
Without waiting for his answer I take his hand and lead him towards my room. I wave my wand at the tapestry in from of my room and it rolls upward to reveal a door. I whisper another spell to open it and walk in. Severus follows me inside and shuts the door. No sooner does the door click shut, he whirls me round into a deep passionate kiss. He tastes of mint and the chocolate mousse that was for pudding at dinner. I feel his hand in my hair and the other is on the small of my back pulling me closer to him. He still smells of the bubble bath that he used this morning.
Pulling away I unclasp his robes and let them drop to the floor as he does the same to me. We are both wearing muggle clothes and soon they begin to get removed too. I walk over to the couch taking him with me and leaving a trail of discarded clothes as I do. As I reach the couch I am only in my underwear as is he. I push him on to the couch. He lands in a sitting position. The telltale bulge in his pants tells me I am doing my job properly. I remove his underwear and part his legs. He begins to flush slightly, maybe its because he is so exposed, what ever it is he does nothing to hide it. I kneel down between his legs and look at him.
"So what happens now?" I ask teasingly, as I gently stroke his erection.
He doesn't seem to trust himself to speak and so he just sighs deeply. I decide not to tease him too much. Moving forward I kiss the very tip of his erection lightly, barely making contact. It's wet with precome as I lick the tip. He shudders slightly and lets out a slow moan. I lick from the tip to the base and back again slowly, as I rub my hand up his thigh. Eventually he begins to moan more and whispers my name. I take the length of it in my mouth and begin to move up and down slowly. He runs his trembling hands through my hair and caresses my neck.
Suddenly there is a noise from behind me. I look up at Severus who has a look of shock and anger on his face and is looking at the door. I turn round to see Ron there. Looking disgusted and angry. He has his wand pointing at Severus.
"You Bastard! You fucking bastard! That's my wife!" Ron screams.
Severus picks up his wand and points it towards the door. The door slams shut and them he mutters something. His clothes suddenly zoom towards him. He puts them on then turns to face Ron who hasn't moved.
"Now Weasly lets be adult about this shall we?" the cold drawl I remember form my school days is back in his voice.
Ron lowers his wand and still stares fixedly at Severus with a look of pure hatred on his face. I pick my dressing gown off the arm of the couch and put it on. I sit down on the couch and feel a bad feeling in my stomach.
Whatever happens tonight not going to be good.
Severus sits down next to me and simply looks at Ron.
"Well are you going to sit or stand?" he asks coldly.
"How the hell have you got the nerve to sit there all composed and talk to me when I just caught you naked with my wife?" Ron exploded.
"Well Ron, she wasn't doing anything you didn't do." He drawls.
"How the fuck did you know about that? Why the fuck are you here? And Hermione why? Why? Why him?" Ron shouts.
"Oh I don't know Ron? Why the hell did you cheat on me with some blonde bint? Answer me that? Hey why her?" I ask. Ron blushes even more.
"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" he shouts.
Did he just say him?
Ron blushes even more.
"I mean.I mean her." He falters.
"Oh Weasly the plot thickens." Comes Severus's delighted drawl. "So not only cheating on your wife, but cheating on your wife with another man. Tut tut tut, I think someone is a little confused don't you?" Severus laughs coldly.
I glance at him, he looks perfectly at home slouched on the couch, insulting Ron. So different from how I know him now.
Ron collapses to his knees on the floor. He sobs uncontrollably into his hands.
"Hermione I am sorry! Its just I love him, I kept telling myself I didn't and that I was just trying to find something bad about him, but I love him. I have to admit it sometime but how can I? I mean if he weren't." he sobs.
I get up and walk over to him. He looks so helpless kneeling there on the floor.
"If he weren't what Ron?" I prompt soothingly.
Why am I comforting him? He cheated on me! Why do I even now feel the need to look after him?
"If he weren't going out with Harry!" he shouts at me.
Draco? He loves Draco? That would explain why he hates seeing them together. But he didn't shout out he name Draco, he shouted the name Kastor!
"You didn't shout Draco's name that night! You shouted Kastor! So you're playing the game are you Ron?" I ask angrily.
"No! Draco is his middle name. His first name is Kastor." He sobs again.
I stand up and cross my arms and look down at him.
"Ron get out! Get the hell away from me, you sick bastard! Not only did you cheat on me you're wife! You cheated on your best friend! How the hell do you think Harry is going to feel? Knowing you lied to him and betrayed him? You're worthless Ron. It really is bad enough you hurt me but Harry! Don't you think he has suffered enough already? He has been betrayed by so many, but to be betrayed by his best friend! Get away from me Ron and take this piece of worthless rubbish with you!" I sob as I throw the wedding ring at him.
I stand there and look at him. He makes me feel as if my life for the past three years has been nothing. I have been a trophy wife, I have been used.
I feel a warmth envelope me. Its Severus. I stand there sobbing into his shoulder, feeling loved. No matter what has happened with Ron. I know Severus will always love me.
Ron gets up and walks out and I hear the door click.
"Its OK my dear." I hear Severus say as he strokes my hair and kisses my head. " I suppose sex, lies and betrayal is just part of another year at Hogwarts." He chuckles.
I'm not too pleased with this so if you don't like it fair do's but no one is making you read it. This is were you discover who the blonde bint is. But hey I think a lot of people will hit me for it! Oh well.
