Hermione stood in front of the double glass door that led to the second meeting room. Hermione had never been to the Second meeting room, let alone the first one or third. When Hermione went with Ron and Harry, they were immediately seated.
It was one minute to eight o'clock. She didn't know if she should be here. She didn't know what to do after she walked through those doors. Was her appearance suitable?
'Only one way to find out, Granger.' Hermione thought.
Hermione walked through the double glass doors, and was greeted by a handsome young man.
"Do you have reservations Madame?"
"I believe so, my name is Hermione Gran-" Hermione couldn't finish her sentence because the attractive young man interrupted her.
"No need Madame Granger. You will be dining with Lord and Lady Snape and Sir Snape. Please, allow me to take your cloak." The man offered.
"Thank you." Hermione walked to the stairs, looked over the banister that viewed the second meeting room. This room was just a meeting yet it was huge and beautiful. It was one huge sitting room. Chairs were bunched against the warm and inviting fireplace. The man took Hermiones cloak with his head down, hung it on a coat rack and was about to question Hermione when he took in her appearance.
"Madame Granger, I hope I am not to bold when I say that Madame Granger looks exceedingly beautiful and gracefully elegant. I give you the most highest compliments."
Hermione flushed. "ThankYou. "Before Hermione could question him, she heard a voice she was familiar with.
"Hermione! You look absolutely gorgeous. Are you trying to kill Severus!?" Adnama exclaimed.
"I have no idea what your talking about." Hermione laughed. "Thank you though, you look beautiful yourself. Where did you get your dress?"
"Oh, this was just something I had lying around. Anyways, the boys will be waiting for us in the Dining Hall/Ballroom. I'm afraid they have very little patience even if it just turned eight o'clock."
Hermione chuckled. "Very predictable of Severus."
"Yes, same with Savaree." Adnama sighed. "Very well, let us go."
Hermione followed Adnama and several others into the Dining Hall/Ballroom. Hermione looked at Adnamas' attire. She truly did look beautiful. She had a magic about her, aside from the obvious. She had a glow that radiated off of her, a glow that spoke confidence, power, and beauty. Adnama had a black robe that draped to the floor. There was silver beads embedded in the shape of roses at the hem of the robes. Adnamas dress was dark emerald. It was strapless, which showed her bare flawless shoulders. In the front it went to the middle of her shins, the back of the dress seemed to crown around her legs. Adnamas shoes were black high heels that wrapped around her shown shins. Adnamas blonde hair was pulled back and the once wavy hair was now straightened. It went slightly past her shoulder blades.
Adnama had led Hermione to the mahogany table where Savaree and Severus were deep in discussion. 'Probably Potions' Hermione thought. Both were wearing the same onyx robes. Both had the silver letters 'SS' embedded in the cuff of the sleeves. Also, they had their black hair was pulled back. Savarees rather tightly and Severus had a few strands loose that brought out the shape of his face. Hermione couldn't help but laugh at how the two were so much the same. Savaree having heard the laugh before looked up at Hermione and Adnama. One his own angel. The other seemed to have the beauty of a goddess. Savaree stood and kissed Adnama on the cheek. And nodded towards Hermione.
Severus thinking it was one of Savarees friends looked up slowly. Two females. He was going to be in trouble when Adnama sees him he thought. Severus looked at the woman's dress from the bottom to the top. She had a black robe on with gold glitter. The woman's dress was a cream color but it seemed to have a gold sheet over it with gold outlined butterflies. He slowly let his eyes go higher. The woman's stomach was flat. Slightly higher now. The woman's breast were average, but full. The dress had a strap that wrapped itself around the womans' neck. The skin that was showing also had gold sparkles over the tanned skin tone. Severus looked into the woman's face. 'Merlin, Damn him all the way to hell.'
"Hello, Severus." The woman, was Hermione.
'Of course.' "Hermione." Severus acknowledged.
"May I say you ladies look lovely tonight." Savaree inquired.
"Oh, you suck up." Adnama laughed and placed a chaste kiss on Savaree's lips.
"Indeed." Hermione watched Severus say as the couple flirted with each other. Hermione felt her cheeks heat up. She knew she was a scarlet red now. Severus pulled out a chair for Hermione across from him. Once seated, she watched as he went around the table and seated himself. Savaree and Adnama finally followed suit. And soon the four were talking, waiting for the courses to come.
"Severus, I had no idea that Macnair Sr. had fathered a child." Hermione sipped her champagne slowly.
Severus had watched her slowly sip her champagne. He watched as her tinted lips left a mark where she placed her lips on the fancy glassware. 'Granger.' Severus thought. A low growl emitted from his throat. He watched as Hermione eyed him in question.
"Granger, you know full well where Macnair loyalties belong to." Severus questioned, prepared to give a speech.
Hermione was pissed off. How dare he speak to her as if a student in class. "I'm full aware of whom his loyalties belong to, Snape." Hermione snapped.
"Indeed. Then, you would know, Macnair Sr. had to please his leader, and produce a heir." Severus retorted in a slightly heated voice.
Hermione made an 'O' with her mouth. Why hadn't she thought of that? 'Oh well'
Soon the food had came and went. The dessert finally came. Severus and Hermione had ignored each other throughout the rest of the course. Adnama and Savaree had tried to engage them unspeaking couple into talking but it was useless. So Adnama and Savaree had talked to themselves.
The waiter had placed what seemed to be a cake with whip cream placed on top of it. Strawberries were placed in between the layers of the cake, and around the small dish it was served on. Severus watched as Hermione took the top strawberry and twirled it in the whip cream. Severus watched as she brought it to her full lips, put the whip cream on her lips, and finally bit into the strawberry. Severus flinched inwardly and slightly on the outside. 'Bloody Granger, she knows damn well what she's doing to me.' Severus glared at Hermione.
Hermione looked at Severus. She knew he had watched her taste the strawberry cake she was eating. She knew it bothered him. And she didn't care. He hadn't needed to be rude to her. They were with his brother and sister-in-law, no need to pretend. People in the 'Royal Dining' didn't care who you dated as long as you had money, or had the appearance of richness. So Hermione decided to tease him one more time. She picked her fork and curved her hands so she was cutting the cake. She brought the cake, whip cream, and strawberries to her mouth and licked it off the spoon. Not in a large dose to make her look like the fat cow Pansy Parkinson, just a small to look like the tease Hermione Granger. Hermione looked at Severus who was glaring very hard at Hermione. She just smiled at Severus, which seemed to piss him off even more.
Adnama and Savaree had witnessed the interaction and couldn't help but laugh. Hermione looked over blushed slightly, shrugged and continued eating. Severus pale skin was tinted with a rose color on his cheeks. 'Aww.. the Potions Master blushes..'
Soon the waiter came and cleared the table. Now it was time to go into the Ballroom. The young waiter led the quartet walked into the Ballroom. Soft muggle music was playing. The Ballroom was huge. The walls were nothing but designer glass. Hermione looked up at the ceiling. It wasn't enchanted like the Great Halls' but it had glass like the walls. They were led to a table that was surrounded, by the looks of it, the most comfortable chairs. Before the two sat down both the Snapes' asked the women to dance. Both women of course said yes.
Severus led Hermione to the dance floor. Hermione was surprised when a familiar song she knew came on. It was a song called I am Ready For Love by India Arie. Hermione felt how Severus held her at a respectable distance but closer then normal. She knew Severus knew that she knew the song. It was as if he knew she was trying to tell him something by it. Hermione didn't need to see herself in the mirror she knew her eyes were glazed with passion.
I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me I'd quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity
Severus had watched as Hermiones eyes glazed over. Her eyes were suggesting so much. Weren't they just arguing not even two hours ago. She always seemed to be forgiving him. She shouldn't need to forgive him. He knew she was in her own little world so he was quiet and allowed her, her peace. He listened to the rest of the song.
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing
Severus knew Hermione could understand his cold deamenour. She had to endure it through her seven years of education. She always tried to be his teachers pet. With his job in the order he had no choice but to ignore her smarts. He knew she was wiser then her years. Since she had forgiven him so much, maybe she was ready for a relationship with him. He thought she would be married with Potter or Weasley, with kids on the way. Severus listened to the rest of the song.
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
I am ready for love
Here with a offering of
My voice
My eyes
My soul
My mind
Severus could tell the song was almost over. He went to look at Hermione when he realized that she had her arms entwined around his neck. Her head buried in his chest. He hadn't even noticed when they moved into that position. That's how perfect she fit to him and he to her. Of course he wasn't going to say anything but, it was self conscious.
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready
Severus raised his arms to Hermiones. For the first time since they walked on the dance floor, they truly looked into each others eyes. The dance was over and he placed Hermiones arm in the crook of his. They walked back to the table still staring at each other. When they finally sat down they realized they were being watched.
"I didn't know you could dance Sevvy!" Adnama exclaimed. Savaree rolled his eyes at her, she always did love to argue with his brother.
"That's like you saying you don't know how to talk, Adnama." Severus replied.
The rest of the night was spent dancing with each other and others. Severus would get jealous when someone asked Hermione to dance. However, when Pansy Parkinson came in the Ballroom she went straight to Severus.
"Sir, how 'coincidental' that we met here!" Pansy laughed the annoying cow laugh she does.
"It must be Miss. Parkinson." Severus responded trying to be nice.
Hermione had seen Pansy walk in, once she did she went straight to Severus. Hermione quickly excused herself from the three way conversation she was having with the married Snapes and walked towards the two now in conversation.
Hermione walked in just to hear Severus say.
"No Parkinson, get out of my sight. I do not wish to dance with you, talk to you, or bed you, now go before I tell Malfoy that his fiance is trying to seduce his godfather."
Hermione watched as the future Malfoy stalked off. Severus turned around to see where his company were when he was face to face with a very angry, but jealous Hermione.
"Good Night, Professor." Hermione walked out. Through a door in the Ballroom that led to the cloak room, which led to the exit. Hermione grabbed her cloak and walked out of the famous 'Royal Dining'.
Hermione apparated to Hogwarts as soon as she walked outside. Hermione knew that Severus had turned Pansy away, that doesn't mean she wasn't going to be pissed off at him. 'Why am I being so jealous like this….!?' When Hermione finally reached her rooms, she walked into her bedroom and screamed. 'Why in the hell does he affect me so!? Its absolute rubbish!' Hermione picked up a vase that was on her dresser and threw it full speed on the other side of the room.
Hermione didn't hear a crash. She looked around. Severus Snape was in her rooms. This time she was sure he hadn't come in from behind.
"How in the hell did you get in here!?" Hermione yelled.
Severus was levitating the vase back to its rightful place on the dresser, and didn't answer. After making sure she wasn't going to throw something else at him, he charmed her dress to be sent towards the house elves for cleaning, and now she was wearing muggle sweat pants and a tank top. Her hair had came down from the bun, but still with its curls.
"Severus Snape! Who gave you permission to change my clothes!?" Hermione seemed to be having a lot of fits lately.
Hermione then charmed Severus clothing to be male muggle sweat pants with out a shirt. Severus growled at her. She grinned. Severus laid Hermione on her bed, so that she was holding him around the waist, while her head was on his stomach. He was against the head board.
"You heard me tell her I didn't want her. Yet, you leave. I demand an answer." Severus voice was anything but demanding. His voice seemed tired.
"How am I suppose to know, I was jealous. I didn't like the way she looked at you." Hermione whined.
"Yes. Yet, I contained myself when all these other males look at you the way they do. I didn't go and leave." Severus insisted.
"Well, I'm not you, Severus!" Hermione lifted her head. She didn't meet his eyes though she met his lips. It was much like the kiss in the library but much, much more passionate. She seemed to say that a lot. Every time they kissed it seemed to get better and better. The kiss continued for a little while longer until they both seemed content in where they were; in each other's arms. They slept until they did hear a crash of a vase in the morning.

"You heard me tell her I didn't want her. Yet, you leave. I demand an answer." Severus voice was anything but demanding. His voice seemed tired.
"How am I suppose to know, I was jealous. I didn't like the way she looked at you." Hermione whined.
"Yes. Yet, I contained myself when all these other males look at you the way they do. I didn't go and leave." Severus insisted.
"Well, I'm not you, Severus!" Hermione lifted her head. She didn't meet his eyes though she met his lips. It was much like the kiss in the library but much, much more passionate. She seemed to say that a lot. Every time they kissed it seemed to get better and better. The kiss continued for a little while longer until they both seemed content in where they were; in each other's arms. They slept until they did hear a crash of a vase in the morning.
