After dinner, Hermione picked up the leather bound book on her bed
and headed down stairs to the library. The group of friends she met were
all sitting around the fireplace.
"How could you date Snape?" Sirius asked as Hermione headed out. "Did he threaten you?"
"No, but he has some very redeeming qualities. He has quite a sence of humor when you are quick enough to catch it." Stepping out of the painting, Hermione rushed toward the library.
Upon entering the musky library, Hermione saw Severus toward the back seated in one of the wingbacked chairs next to a fireplace. She walked forward letting her shoes click on the wooden floors.
"Severus." Hermione whispered. He started with a gasp as he raised his eyes from the book he was reading. "I brought this book. And I want to know about it, if you do know anything about it that is." She sat in the chair opposite of him.
"Certainly." Taking the book, he read the spine and Hermione watched as the color drained from his face. "How did you get this?" His said in a dry voice.
"I found it. In a small book store near Hogsmeade." She whispered, not saying the time.
"You could be killed for having this." he groaned. Placing his palms against his forehead, he sighed and looked up at her. "Does anyone else know you have this?"
"Only Headmaster." She whispered. Severus nodded. Standing, he grabbed her hand and dragged her toward the restricted section.
"We need more privacy." Opening the large door to the Restricted section, he pulled her into a secluded section with a lantern. "This is the records and minutes of the Death Eaters and their meetings. The names in here are of those who are part of this. I would be forced into this by my father at the end of the year when I turn eightteen. That is in 3 weeks. I don't want to. I really don't want to, I'm worried that if Headmaster finds out, I could be sent to Azkaban. I never want to go there." He swallowed nervously. "I don't know why I'm telling you this, yet I feel completely safe with you. Seeing you face down Lucius today made me feel proud that I chose right. It must've been these hands when I picked you up on that muddy trail in the rain. You have the hands of a potions mistress." He clasped her hands in his. "Plus the fact tht you said you'd stand behind me. This was when I knew I could trust you." He sighed. "But after Christmas, stay way from me. I could get you killed."
"Not if I can help it. I won't let you join the Death Eaters. Trust me, if you go the Dumbledore, he'll understand. Trust me on this. I may sound crazy, but I know he will." Hermione smiled up at him. "You are so tall!" She laughed. Severus sighed in an annoyed fashion and bent over.
"Better?" He said in an amused voice. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yep." She laughed and rubbed her cheek against the growing stubble. He smelled of woods and aftershave. Oviously he was one of the wizards who kept in the traditional muggle fashion of shaving. Wrapping his long arms about her waist he stood to his full height, lifting Hermione off her feet. She was plastered against his chest where she felt the contracting muscles of his abdomen and chest. Quidditch had been good to him over the years. In her ear she could hear Severus' breath hitch as she had to wrap her legs wrap about his hips to keep from slipping.
"Hermione." His voice growled at her ear. She slowly turned to meet hsi cobra like stare.
"Yes?" Severus' breath puffed against her cheek as his hands contracted at her sides. She saw his face near and finally as his lips settled over her own. his lips were soft and pliable against her own, and even warm. Unlike the cruel words that seeped out of them like venom in the future. Her fingers brushed through his hair as he blindly walked toward a desk to set her on. Both of their breaths were pants and the room seemed suddenly hot. Keeping their mouths connected, their outer robes were shed. No sooner had they done this, when they heard the door to the restricted section ease open with a creak. Severus jumped back and snatched their robes. Soving Hermione's at her while he slid his own on and buttoned the front up to cover what had to be the hardest erection of his teenage life. Hermione scrambld into her own and shoved the Death Eater book into the inside pocket of her robes.
"Pettigrew, I don't know why you intend to call me in here. It's late enough as it is." Lucius Malfoy. Severus turned the lamp off and put a shaking finger to his kiss swollen lips. Hermione nodded.
"The book. The missing Detah Eater book. Master has been crazy about retrieving it. That new student has it! I saw it in her room!" Hermione's eyes narrowed. The creep had pawed through her stuff! Meanwhile, Severus' eyes widened in fright. Hermione could be killed!
"That little bitch with the big mouth?!" Lucius burtst out. "She's enough trouble. Severus is dating her. I'll have to speak to him about this and see if he can get in her pants and steal the book for us." Lucius smirked. "He seemed pretty possessive today in class. Wouldn't even let me discipline her." He chuckled. "Well, we'll see how that direction goes." Hermione looked to Severus who in fact looked murderous toward his housmate. "Let's go before we're seen, or even worse. Heard." The two left as quick as they came, leaving Hermione and Severus in the dark.
