When Hermione got back to her room Severus was nowhere to be seen. Quickly she changed from her school robes into the short black dress she had bought herself to wear on special occasions. As she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror she wondered whether or not she should change. Her dress was shorter than she remembered it being and she didn't want Severus to think she was desperate. She applied some subtle make up and checked the result in the mirror. She didn't know it but she looked unbelievably beautiful.
"Miss Granger" Severus' silky voice called to Hermione from the doorway of her room "If you don't come over here right now and kiss me I'll take 50 points from Gryffindor. You look so beautiful" Hermione smiled and walked towards him.
"And if I don't feel your arms around me soon I'm going to have to leave right now" she said mischievously. Severus pulled her towards him and kissed her tenderly. Hermione felt her heart race as she pulled him closer until he suddenly broke away from her.
"What's this?" he said picking up the small packet of condoms which he had just trodden on.
"Nothing" she said quickly trying to pull the packet away from him.
"Is this what I think it is?" said Severus a look of shock coming over his face.
"Yes it is" said Hermione in a nervous voice "I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall kind of forced them on me"
"Minerva McGonagall FORCED condoms on you?" said Severus absolutely amazed "Am I dreaming did you just say that?"
"Yes" said Hermione more nervously still. Was he going to shout at her?
Severus' laugh echoed through the room so loudly that Hermione jumped. She had never heard him laugh. It was infectious laughter and Hermione began to laugh as well.
"Min…Minerv..Minerva?" he gasped between breaths
"Yes" said Hermione giggling and falling into her bed "It's unbelievable isn't it?"
Severus fell onto the bed next to her tears of mirth rolling down his cheeks. Hermione turned to look at him. She couldn't believe that she had never noticed how handsome he was before. His smile seemed to light up his face and his hair, though it always seemed so greasy in class was amazingly soft to touch. Suddenly they both stopped laughing. Severus was looking at Hermione in a way no-one had ever looked at her before. He looked down her body to her slim legs and he felt an amazing stirring sensation in his groin. He stretched his hand over to her and stroked her face gently. Slowly his hand fell behind her back and pulled her towards him.
"Hermione I want you"
"I want you too Severus you know I do"
"No Hermione, I mean I want you right now" as if to emphasise the point he pulled her closer still and she felt his hardness constraining against his trousers. She gasped as a bolt of electricity shot through her. She pulled away from him slightly and he looked disappointed but she reached down and with a boldness she never knew she had she began to stroke his erection through his trousers.
"Oh Hermione" he moaned kissing her roughly on the neck "I want you I want you so much" he ran his hands down her body making her shiver.
"Severus" she whispered into his ear as his hand slipped up her dress "Oh Severus"
Her moans sent fire through his body and without meaning to he bit her neck and pierced her flesh. Hermione gave a cry of pleasure and pain mixed together. Blood trickled down her shoulder but she did not seem to notice. She quickened the pace of her hand movements which caused Severus to moan loudly again. She stopped stroking him and he moaned desperately.
"Don't stop Hermione don't stop" She looked into his face and it was desperate with longing. She sat up and bent over him one leg on each side of him. His hips automatically lifted up and she groaned as he discovered she had nothing on underneath her dress.
"Hermione" he moaned again "I need you now" She could feel his hardness aching against his boxer shorts. She edged down his body undoing his shirt and kissing him all the way down. When she reached his trousers and boxer shorts she slowly took them off and glanced up at his face which was contorted with desire. He was bigger than she could ever have imagined. A seductive smile appeared on her face as she continued to kiss him all the way down. When she reached his throbbing hard-on she kissed the head and Severus almost exploded with pleasure.
"Oh god Hermione" he yelled "Oh Hermione I can't take anymore"
She slowly slipped her mouth over his head and down his hot shaft. Severus roared with ecstasy. It was as though he had lost complete control of his body. His hips bucked against her mouth and she struggled to hold him.
"Oh yes Oh yes" he said reaching down to her head and holding her on his hard penis. She slowed her pace increasing his arousal hundred times and causing him to shout with animal desire as he came in her mouth.
"God Hermione" he said panting for breath and pulling her up so he could kiss her. She was smiling mischievously "I love you so much" he said kissing her all over. A few minutes past and Severus stroked Hermione's face thoughtfully.
"Hermione" he whispered into her ear "I'm sorry that I lost control. I've never felt so much pleasure in my life. If you knew how good you made me feel" Hermione smiled. Hearing Severus moaning and howling because of what she was doing had given her just as much pleasure.
"Severus I love you. If you hadn't had been so…" she searched for an appropriate word
"Horny?" he said smiling. She nodded feeling slightly disconcerted that a teacher had used that word.
"Well if you hadn't been then I would have thought there was something wrong with me"
"Well you have definitely been hiding that talent. But no-one can be that good first time" he said looking suspiciously at her.
"As a matter of fact it was" she said half pleased but half hurt.
"I'm sorry" he said apologetically "I didn't mean it like that" he looked around trying to change the subject. His gaze fell upon her shoulder which was red with blood where he had bitten into her shoulder.
"Oh Hermione I'm so sorry" he cried reaching over to see how much damage he had done "I never meant to hurt you, god what was I thinking?"
"Don't worry about it, I kind of enjoyed it" she said seductively. They looked into each others eyes. He kissed the spot on her shoulder where blood was still oozing out of her teeth shaped wound.
"I'll get something to put on it" he said getting off the bed and heading towards the bathroom. Hermione sighed slightly and looked at the clock on the wall, 9:00. Severus came out of the bathroom with a wet tissue and some antiseptic lotion.
"Muggle remedy eh?" she teased
"Despite appearances I believe the muggle medicines are very effective" he said climbing back onto the bed and moving behind her. He swept her hair over her other shoulder and began to dab cold water onto her bleeding wound. She winced slightly when he applied the antiseptic lotion.
"Sorry" he said but she didn't reply so he carried on "I did mean to be so violent"
"You don't need to explain Severus" she said "I understand"
There was an awkward pause.
"So what happens tomorrow?" said Hermione nervously "Am I supposed to sit at the back of the class and ignore what happened tonight, what we just did"
"What you just did you mean" Severus said grinning "I had no part in it. I just sat back and enjoyed"
"Severus" said Hermione thoughtfully "I don't know if I should ask you this but…"
"What's wrong?"
"The other night when you pushed me away in your library was it because you didn't want me?"
"Is that what you've been thinking?"
"Well yes"
"Hermione I can't describe how much I wanted to make love to you that night. But I wanted to wait until you knew that you loved me. I didn't want it to be just a lust driven rushed might of desire and nothing else"
"But you were tempted?"
"Hermione I was so close to tearing your clothes off there and then" he said in an ashamed voice "I've never resisted such a temptation before" Hermione smiled.
A few hours later they were both still lying on the bed talking. Hermione was telling Severus about her life with her parents and how she had constantly struggled for good grades at school and never quite made it as a academic. She told him about how when she got the letter from Hogwarts she was determined to be top of the class even though she had no magical experience, the hours of reading before she arrived and Severus looked admiringly at her.
"Hermione" he said "I never told you this but you really are the cleverest person your age I have ever met" Hermione thought for a moment.
"Why did you always have to put me down Severus?"
"I'm sorry but it was hard for me, I'm not an easy teacher to please Hermione. I have always thought you were an amazing student. There are not many students I say that about"
"Yes but why did you never say it to me? Why did you never encourage me?"
"But Hermione if I had always said that you were a wonderful student it would have looked suspicious. There are some teachers in this school who praise their students when they achieve new things. I have always pushed harder. If I could have praised you I would have. I had to put my feelings for you to the back of my mind. I didn't want you to think I was treating you any better than anyone else"
"But Severus you humiliated me, you humiliated me more than anyone else"
"Because I loved you so much that I resented you. Hermione the first time I saw you I knew. I wanted you so much but I couldn't accept it" Hermione was silent for a moment.
"Do you resent me now?"
"Hermione you mean the world to me, you know that. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone or anything."
"I know. I love you too" she said turning her head towards him and kissing him softly on the mouth. "It's late though and I've got a double lesson with a grumpy man first thing in the morning and I've got to try and think of a way to stop myself jumping on top of him"
"Well I hope you don't have any luck" he said getting off the bed and walking towards the bathroom.
"Goodnight Severus"
"Goodnight Hermione"
