Message from "Moony"- Caution! They will be doing it in this chapter! I am going to try and be as discreet as possible, so I don't want any complaints that I didn't say anything ahead of time. That is all; go back to reading my fun little tale here.

Chapter 27

An hour later Severus arrived at the cabin. He entered to find candles lit amongst the room along with a fire burning brightly in the fireplace.

Sev was slightly taken back; they didn't usually take the time for romantic atmosphere. That's when he saw her. She was asleep on the bed, wearing a long black silk nightgown. Her long hair was going into its natural curl as the air in the room dried the damp locks.

She looked almost angelic, if it weren't for the dark mark on her left arm, also the small snake tattoo on her ankle.

He slowly pulled off his outer coat and draped it over the back of the chair before making his way next to her.

"Sev?" She asked as she felt his presence next to her.

"Yes love?"

"Well you took bloody long enough." She said before pulling him into a kiss.

"Sorry about that. The idiot Pettigrew lost the master's potion. So I had to brew another."

"Never mind, you're here now." She smiled, pulling him down on top of her.

"I've got a Christmas present for you." He whispered, rolling off of her and sitting next to her on the bed.

"Sev, you said we weren't going to exchange presents." She said, looking saddened.

"Alright, then consider it an early birthday present then." He said, pulling a package out of his pocket and handing it to her.

"Oh Sev!" She exclaimed, holding the pendent in her hands. It was a silver snake necklace with gleaming emerald eyes.

"It's been in my family for many years." He smiled as she moved her hair from so he could put it on her. "The true mark of a Slytherin lady." He smiled again before pulling her into a kiss.

"Hmm... now how could I possibly show my gratitude...?" She looked up at him with shining eyes.

"Oh I've got an idea or two." He smirked before lying down then pulling her down on top of him.

"And I wonder what the general 'thrust' of those ideas are." She smiled, leaning very close to his lips but not making actual contact.

"Come a little closer and I'll tell you." He said, putting a hand behind her head and bringing her lips to meet his. As they kissed Alex's hands slowly slid down to his pants and felt his bulge through his pants causing him to groan loudly.

They quickly began to undress each other, not caring where the clothing went. Just as they began to get into it Alex stopped. "Severus, does it smell like something is burning?"

He stopped his movements and looked around the room. Suddenly he got off the bed and grabbed his wand. "Ex Aqua" (Note- Being a student of Latin class I don't need to make up ridiculous spells, I can just put it in Latin) he said, pointing his wand at the burning material.

"I'm afraid that your knickers have been burnt beyond repair love." Severus said, showing her the burnt garment that had been thrown into a candle flame.

"That's alright." She shrugged, pulling Severus back into the bed with her. "I don't need them anyways." She grinned straddling him to the bed. "Now where did we leave off?"

That's all I suppose, I've got some more chapters to work on and Mike Myers on Inside the Actor's Studio. LMAO.
