The hallway was barely lit by the few hovering charms, which radiated
a soft blue glow. Hermione walked down the corridor quietly trying to hear
any sound while keeping one hand against the wall to stabilize herself.
Her entire body shook with apprehension and from the shot of adrenaline
that was now coursing through her veins. She had no idea where he could,
when he might strike. Hermione slowly turned the corner and was instantly
seized by a pair of arms. She gasped in shock and was not surprised to hear
the man holding her chuckle.
"You're mine wench." He growled in her ear. Hermione smiled as her heart began to beat faster.
"If you can catch me, you can have me." She whispered before vanishing from his arms. She reappeared seconds later in her room, knowing that he wouldn't be able to catch up to her so easily.
The room, unlike the halls, was filled with light. That was in part from the large window that was open and allowing the day's sun to filter in. There were not many things in her room except for an armoire, two plush chairs, a small table, and her bed. Hermione smiled at the thought of going to sleep, but now was not the time. The comforting silk sheets would have to wait until later. She walked quickly to the door intending on leaving but as she began to pass the four poster she was grabbed from behind and pulled into the curtains. She shrieked as she fell backwards and then was pinned down by her attacker.
Severus smiled down at her before giving her a quick kiss. The quick kiss however turned into a passionate embrace that almost bruised Hermione's lips. He pulled away breathless, smiling from ear to ear and then scowled down at her.
"You realize that you cheated?" He said sourly. Hermione tried to look as innocent as possible, but was unable to keep from smiling.
"I did no such thing." She protested though her voice shook with mirth.
"You most certainly did, I caught you in the hallway." He said while bringing her arms up over her head, lightly caressing the smooth skin. "It's not fair to use your elvish powers." Severus bent down again kissed her on the forehead, down the bridge of her nose, her lips, and then the side of her neck.
"Nothing is fair in love and war." Hermione breathed while craning her neck to give him more access to the sensitive flesh. Severus growled against her throat sending a chill down her body. Severus stopped suddenly making Hermione moan in protest.
"So our little games are war now?" He asked as his eyes shone with mischief. Hermione smiled up at him.
"They have always been war, love." Hermione said as she shifted beneath him causing him to growl again. Severus looked down at her stonily, then slowly his frown turned to a broad smile. Hermione watched with interest as though she could see the wheels of his mind turning. "What exactly are you thinking of?" She asked sweetly.
Severus shook his head and looked back down at her, the look of mischief in his eyes growing brighter. He kissed her again a little more roughly than before. He relished the feeling of Hermione struggling against his hands to try and embrace him. Unfortunately for her, that is not what he had in mind. He pulled away slowly and gazed into her eyes which were now burning with an untamed fire.
"Don't muggles torture their prisoners of war?" Severus asked, lowering his head to kiss a path of feathery kissed along her collar bone.
"Yes..." She whispered arching into him, but as she moved forward Severus moved away. "Severus, please..."
"I believe torture is to be just that." He said brushing his hand down her side and pulling it away little by little.
"You're cruel." Hermione smiled as she began to understand his game. You may when this battle, Hermione thought wryly, but the war has just begun.
*****
Deep in St. Mungo's, well past all living inhabitants, was a room that had been almost forgotten for the last year. A large door with hundreds of wards and even wrapped in unbreakable chains laid at the end of a long hallway. Two aurors nodded to two others that had just returned to take the next shift. The new wizards quickly scanned the door and then each stood to one side. They did not talk, they did not smile, but then who would when given this task.
It had been a year since that faithful day when Voldemort had been defeated. After his demise many of the wizardring world had forgotten he was still alive. Alive and healthy in the bleakest of sense. His mind was still intact, as was his magic, but he was unable to use it. Voldemort was trapped in a shell of a body, for it would no longer listen to his commands. He watched with amusement when the aurors were forced to come into the room.
If only they knew the fate the would soon face. Everyone believed him to be gone, a shadow. Voldemort laughed. He would soon be great again. He rise to power and take his revenge on that half breed and the rest of the world. Time. That is all that it took, and soon the time would be right. Lord Voldemort was patient enough, but when he regained the use of a body Hermione will wish that she had killed him when she had the chance.
Not long now, he told himself. Three days and my vessel will arrive.
