Chapter 3:Let's Give Them Something To Talk About
Severus Snape had woken up the arms wrapped around a Ms. Hermione Granger. He immediately wanted to removed them, but she looked comfortable, and truly, it felt right. Holding this young woman in his arms all night felt right. He didn't want to make any sudden moves, but there was a note from Albus, probably about the time of the surgery, that he should really look at soon. He decided that the letter was more important then a feeling lower than his stomach.
Dear Hermione and Severus,
I have arranged for you to have the surgery a 12 p.m. Please do not eat anything after 12 a.m. Also, please be prepared to leave by 11 a.m. Meet me at the front door at that time. Please don't be late.
And have a merry day,
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Hermione's groaning is what brought him back to the fact she was there.
"What's wrong?"
"Sherlock, I think you know the answer."
"Correct, Watson. You have a kidney problem, and today at 12, I'm giving you one of mine. We aren't supposed to eat anything since, well, last night at twelve. We have two hours, and must be at the front doors, prepared, at eleven." Hermione stiffled a laugh, but it didn't help the pain.
"Oowhh."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to go to breakfast? I'm sure the staff knows that I'm giving you my kidney."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
"Then what?"
"Well, I'm afraid we'll given them something to talk about if we go in there with me in your arms. They might think of it as love."
"Let them think what they want, Ms. Hermione, but I think you and I, both, need food."
"Correct, Mr. Severus. If you would change our clothes. I don't want to be swept off my feet in a nightgown."
"Ah, correct you maybe be, but Dumbledore must've forgotten clothes for you."
"Then give me something to cover up with."
"Ah, here is my robe?"
"It will do."
"Good. Good."
"And you? You most certainley can't go in your nightware."
"Much less in my birthday suit. Let me go find another robe." Quickly, Severus ran off to grab a robe for himself, afraid to leave the frail Hermione alone too long. He soon returned.
"Ah, much better. I've always noticed the black brought out the pail in people's skin."
"Hermione," he said in his 'warning voice.'
"Sorry, but it's the truth."
"Always so truthful?"
"Yes. And in fact, did you ever learn that you're quite charming?"
"'Slimy Gitty Bastard Snape Goes Charming' I'm afraid, Hermione, that won't make the front page."
"Well, its front burner for me. And at the moment, that's what counts."
"Hmm, I've taken that in to consideration, Hermione. But this isn't going to-"
What he really wanted to say "Going to work out." But he wanted to find a way and make, with all his heart he wanted too.
"To be easy. Its going to hurt a lot more when I pick you up this time."
"I understand. Just get it over with."
As fast as he could, he picked her up with out hurting her or moving robes out of the way of where they should be.
"Professor Snape, Severus, you will never know how much all of this means to me. With all the cuddling we did last night, and you carrying me. I know I'm not light as a feather."
"Actually, I've charmed you, so when I've got to pick you up, its like holding a feather."
"Are you suggesting that I need to lose weight?"
"You have, quite a lot. And if you don't eat, you will be losing quite some more. So, when the operation is over, and we are back at Hogwarts, we will have a feast. Now, we are going into the Great Hall, prepare for doom," His voice started softly but had became angrier about the mention of that food.
The Great Hall became silent as all the teachers stopped their talking to notice what was going on.
'Thank the lord its summer. I would die if a student. What am I saying? She is a student.'
'No, she was. And now you love her. Don't argue with me, buster. I'm right. Give up.'
'She is perfect. Just what I need.'
"Severus, are you bothered?" Minerva kindly asked.
"Oh, I was just thinking about somethings, like where I want to go on some of my vacation."
"You? Vacation? Oh my. Hermione, what have you done to Severus?" Professor Flitwick squealed.
"I made him carry me. He deserves a vacation after that." She added a smile to her sentence.
"Ah, well, we all wish you good luck and we'll be in as soon as we can after it is over," Minerva promised.
"Thank you, it means a lot to us."
"Though, please, don't watch me sleep." Severus politely requested.
"Drool much?"
"I thought I told you not too-"
"You drool?" Hermione laughed.
"Yes, do you have a problem?"
"No, none." 'Not unless my hair is by your mouth.' She silently thought.
"Good."
The rest of their mealtime, which they didn't eat during, they spent talking and being joyful with the company of others, until ten, when they went to pack.
"Ms. Hermione, will you be needing anything?"
"Just my nightgown."
"Low maintenance?"
"At the moment. Too much bother to be high maintenance."
" I see. Well, we best be heading off."
"Yes," she said with a shakey voice. She wasn't trying to hide anything, she was nervous as hell, to put it bluntly.
"Hermione, are you quite all right?"
"No, actually, I'm feeling queasy, and I'm nervous."
"Well, I, too, am nervous, but we are assured that St. Mungo's is the safest place on Earth. Nothing will go wrong, I promise you. I will see you after it is done with, and you will be alive still."
"Oh, dear lord.."
"Don't barf on me now..," He said while running to meet Albus.
"Good timing, Severus, Hermione."
"Ah, thank you, sir." Hermione replied by habit, "I mean, Albus."
"Sir makes me feel years older than I am. I don't even understand how Severus, here, has lived with it after the past so many years."
"How do you, Severus?"
'She really is a tease at sometimes.'
'That's what you like, Severus.'
'No, I love her mind. Her unconditional friendship...her-'
"Albus, you'll be sure to tell Ron and Harry where I am, and if they want to see me.."
"Of course, Hermione. I'll tell them the moment you are out of surgery."
"Thank you."
"Any requests, Severus?"
"That we get a move on it."
"Whatever you say!" And Albus walked them Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, where they could floo to Mungo's.
"Do have a good surgery, and I will see you as soon as possible."
"T-t-t-th-thank y-y-you," A very nervous and shivering Hermione replied.
"Oh, dear, it will be all right, you'll see. Everything will work out perfect," He said as his eyes sparkled. Everything including a new relationship.
"Albus, I'll see you soon. Don't do anyything too interesting without me."
"Certainly won't try."
"Good day."
"To you also, good day." And with that, Severus flooed them to Mungo's.
"Ah, Severus," a younger looking nurse called, "Severus, how have you been?"
"Quite well, Lindsay, quite well. How are the children? And Stephen, how's Stephen?"
"All are doing incredibly well. I daresay you will be seeing Stephen Jr. this year."
"He's starting Hogwarts?" She nodded.
"Ughamghhhh..," was what brought them back to the situation at hand.
"Hermione..."
"Severus, could you stop flapping your gums and check us in?"
"With what hand would you like me to do that with?" He added a smirk.
"Then one up your ass. Now, go."
'Damn, she got me that time...'
"Sorry, Lindsay, I must be checking in."
"Oh, as soon as I saw you, I checked you both in. You are in OR room 3."
"Thank you. Where is that?"
"Follow me," she added a hand wave.
Severus followed his old schoolmate Lindsay all the way to the OR where she told them they both need to be in gowns, and she would give them both an IV. But before that, she took Severus' wand for safe keeping. Hermione had not brought her's.
"Hermione, dearest, can you change?"
"No," she said in what seemed to be the same as a moan.
"Ok, then, I'll change you."
He made it is quick and simplace as possible. He removed her robe, thank the lords she had not worn much else, because he didn't think he could stay unaroused while removing a shirt and pants. Too much of his dismay, though, he had to take her bra off. It really was going to help him much, but he manage to get it off, the bra, that is, without having to see something that would constrict a certain area of his pants. He just unhooked the back, and remove the straps off he shoulder and left the bra covering her breasts until he put her gown own. He then changed into his own.
"Thank you, Severus. Thank you for making that a little easier on me. I wasn't sure if I would've been-" She wanted to say "capable of letting you touch me without letting me having the same ability" but instead said, "able to do it myself."
"It really wasn't a problem." No, it wasn't, he just didn't want to think about what was under the flimsy gown.
"When will the doctor be in?"
"Lindsay said in several minutes."
"How'd you know her?"
"We went to Hogwarts together. She was Moranda's best friend."
"Oh, dear, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean too..." She left it at that because Dr. Jones had just entered the room.
"Hello, you two!"
"Hello, Dr. Jones."
"Good morning," Hermione whispered.
"Well, since you've already gotten you Ivs, we just need to put you to sleep. Severus, if you would get on that bed, and if you both would drink this," He hand them a potion that would put them to sleep and numb there body. Severus immediately knew it was his own potion he was drinking, and had no problem with it.
"Its all right, Hermione, this potion was actually made by me. No worries."
"Certainleynot."
'She's starting to slur, she really must be chugging it.'
"Well you two, time to operate," He said to the nurses standing next to him, "First, I will remove one of Hermione's bad kidney's, while Dr. Mike while remove one of Severus', then I will replace the bad kidney, I will the take the other one out. Good?"
"Yes, Dr. Jones."
"Cindy, you'll be working with me, Angie with Dr. Mike." Both answered with a yes and Angie moved over by Dr. Mike.
The surgery went smoothly until Angie accidently forgot to bring the ice to put the kidney on.
"Quick," Dr. Mike yelled, "Transfigure her bra in a bucket of ice!"
Of course, the bucket end up pink with little roses and swirls all over it. They would just have to give it to her to take home. What a gift.
The rest of the surgery went smoothly and they were placed in room number 8. So that she wouldn't notice her bra had become a bucket, the stuff transfigure quills into beautiful flowers and placed them in the bucket and left a note.
Severus and Hermione,
Get Well Soon! We are hoping for the best!
The Staff at St. Mungo's
Hermione was the first of the two to wake, and the first to see the flowers. Of course, Hermione wasn't a dunce and the bucket reminded her in many ways of something she owned.
'Maybe Severus will know when he wakes up..'
"Unnngahhh..," A slightly out of it Severus purred, or moaned, or voiced.
"Sev?"
"Unngahgahun.."
"Severus," She said it several times more until he woke out of his sleep.
"Yes, mom?"
"I'm not your mother, although she would be appalled at the spit coming out of your mouth." He quickly wiped it off and changed the conversation to the flowers.
"Hermione, d-doesn't that bucket, well....doesn't it look like your bra?"
"Shit! That's what it looks like. Maybe they were trying to match it for us." She said feeling to make sure her matching underwear was still there.
"Well, I'll ask when Dr. Jones comes in to check on us."
"Aren't you the least bite curious about you cut?"
"No, I really don't want to see any blood. Anymore than I have too."
"Ooh. Well, Albus should be- Speak of the devil."
"Hermione, the devil doesn't carry pink roses." She refused to answer that, but she certainley liked them.
"Oh, thank you Albus."
"Well, its from Minerva and I. For Severus and you."
"Its beautiful."
"It is quite attractive."
"Harry and Ron should be here soon, along with some other teachers, and some of your friends, Severus." Hermione was quite shocked by this, but didn't exactly show it to anyone watching.
"Ah, who?"
"Well, several Ravenclaws, and Sirius, Remus and Lucius are coming."
"Ahh, that is good, did Draco get my message?"
"Yes, and he'll be coming too."
"Splendid."
"Oh, and Ginny, Parvati and Lavender will be coming. Along with a number of other Gryffindors." Dumbledore suspected that by the end of the week, Severus would smell of flowers for weeks to come.
"Albus or Severus, could you place a charm on all the flowers that come in so that we can have them forever?"
"Certainly, dear." Albus answer and immediately performed the charm, Severus said he would do it when Dumbledore was not around.
"Thank you." She soon was over come with so many flowers it was unbelieveable. Several people came in to see Severus, and then immediately several people came to see Hermione. Of course, Harry was quite all right about the kidney, but Ron wasn't too thrilled of it.
"Ron, thanks to him, she's alive, what if she were dead right now?"
"I'm sorry, Hermione," He quickly went out in the hall, and came back with more flowers.
"Oh, Ron, thank you. I never knew you were so good at transfiguration."
"Why thank you, Hermione."
"And thank you, Ron. And thank you, Harry, the lilies are quite lovely."
"I knew you'd like them. But how are you going to take these all back to your house?"
"Well, I suppose I'll only take half. Leave some for Severus."
"Ah, that would make sense." He looked over to seee how Severus was doing. He was laughing and joking around with several people Harry didn't know.
Against his gut, Harry said something to Professor Snape anyway, "Professor Snape, thank you for doing this for Hermione. I would've done it myself if I were a match. I'm really absolutely thankful."
"You are welcome, Harry."
Soon, more people came, the Weasley's in entirety made a visit, each brought a different kind of flowers too. By the end of the night, Hermione was ready to go to bed in her own little flowery world, but Severus had sad something to her.
"Hermione, are you feeling ok?"
"Yes, I don't know how I'll ever thank you for this."
"You don't have to."
"Oh, but I do. When we are done here, may I take you somewhere for a vacation?"
"No, I'm sorry, but I've already got plans."
"Severus, you haven't made plans. Please?" She gave him puppy dog eyes. She hadn't learn yet that that was his downfall too.
"Ugh. Fine. But only for a week."
"That's perfect. I know exactly where to take you."
"Where?"
"Well, I was thinking, have you ever been to Australia? They have an amazing orchestra."
"Sadly, I have been there, and the orchestra isn't as wonderful as it sounds."
"Well, then, I'll just have to take you to Disney World."
"Disney World?"
"Yep. An amusement park!"
Severus wasn't to greatly thrilled about this, but if Hermione wanted him to go, he would. He really did earn something out of this, and if an amusement park was it, so be it.
"Sounds exciting. Will you be making the plans?"
"Yes, and you'll need to get some muggle clothing."
"Oh, all right. And you know what?"
"No, not really, I'm not always an insuferable know it all."
"No, that's not it. I want you to have all the flowers, but for one thing." She wasn't sure what it was going to be, just as long as she still was able to go to Disney World with him.
"Hmm? What?"
"A pink swirled bra with a rose on it." He smirked.

"'Slimy Gitty Bastard Snape Goes Charming' I'm afraid, Hermione, that won't make the front page."

"Yes, mom?"
"I'm not your mother, although she would be appalled at the spit coming out of your mouth." He quickly wiped it off and changed the conversation to the flowers.
"Hermione, d-doesn't that bucket, well....doesn't it look like your bra?"
"Shit! That's what it looks like. Maybe they were trying to match it for us." She said feeling to make sure her matching underwear was still there.
"Well, I'll ask when Dr. Jones comes in to check on us."
"Aren't you the least bite curious about you cut?"
"No, I really don't want to see any blood. Anymore than I have too."
"Ooh. Well, Albus should be- Speak of the devil."
"Hermione, the devil doesn't carry pink roses." She refused to answer that, but she certainley liked them.
"Oh, thank you Albus."

"I'm sorry, Hermione," He quickly went out in the hall, and came back with more flowers.
"Oh, Ron, thank you. I never knew you were so good at transfiguration."
"Why thank you, Hermione."
"And thank you, Ron. And thank you, Harry, the lilies are quite lovely."
"I knew you'd like them. But how are you going to take these all back to your house?"
"Well, I suppose I'll only take half. Leave some for Severus."
"Ah, that would make sense." He looked over to seee how Severus was doing. He was laughing and joking around with several people Harry didn't know.
Against his gut, Harry said something to Professor Snape anyway, "Professor Snape, thank you for doing this for Hermione. I would've done it myself if I were a match. I'm really absolutely thankful."
"You are welcome, Harry."
Soon, more people came, the Weasley's in entirety made a visit, each brought a different kind of flowers too. By the end of the night, Hermione was ready to go to bed in her own little flowery world, but Severus had sad something to her.
"Hermione, are you feeling ok?"
"Yes, I don't know how I'll ever thank you for this."
"You don't have to."
"Oh, but I do. When we are done here, may I take you somewhere for a vacation?"
"No, I'm sorry, but I've already got plans."
"Severus, you haven't made plans. Please?" She gave him puppy dog eyes. She hadn't learn yet that that was his downfall too.
"Ugh. Fine. But only for a week."
"That's perfect. I know exactly where to take you."
"Where?"
"Well, I was thinking, have you ever been to Australia? They have an amazing orchestra."
"Sadly, I have been there, and the orchestra isn't as wonderful as it sounds."
"Well, then, I'll just have to take you to Disney World."
"Disney World?"
"Yep. An amusement park!"
Severus wasn't to greatly thrilled about this, but if Hermione wanted him to go, he would. He really did earn something out of this, and if an amusement park was it, so be it.
"Sounds exciting. Will you be making the plans?"
"Yes, and you'll need to get some muggle clothing."
"Oh, all right. And you know what?"
"No, not really, I'm not always an insuferable know it all."
"No, that's not it. I want you to have all the flowers, but for one thing." She wasn't sure what it was going to be, just as long as she still was able to go to Disney World with him.
"Hmm? What?"
"A pink swirled bra with a rose on it." He smirked.
