Note to kishkitten36: It is true that this is based on the same songfic I posted on Whispers. And yes I do have a different sequel going on there. The two will not intertwine at all, they are to remain very separate stories. I may use quotes from one in the other, but that is as far as the similarities will go. I am expecting this fic to end a little sooner then the one on Whispers, actually, so there will be less characters. Also, with regard to the way Hermione/Seamus act, let's just say Sevie is a special case.
If anyone wants a link to the sequel to the first two chapters of this story (they were posted as a separate story on Whispers) then here is the link:
(Hermione's POV -- May switch to Sev part way through the chapter..)
Recap:
"Blimey Hermione, did he...rape you?" Seamus's eyes grew into saucers.
"No, nothing like that at all. It was completely voluntary. But it gets worse. When I found out my situation the following morning, Severus was not yet awake, so I simply dressed and left, while he was still sleeping. I hadn't really planned on seeing him again."
"Damn right you didn't." A low, growling voice came from behind us.
Oh Merlin. I turned around, praying that it was not him. Unfortunately, I was greeted (if you can call it that) by a pale face, brow furrowed in anger, dark eyes smoldering, framed by long, silky, black hair. It was none other than Severus Snape, my ex. My mouth went dry, my lungs lost air, and sadly...my knees buckled. But thankfully, my lips did not sing his name. Instead I believe they dropped open into something along the lines of a gape.
"Seamus," I squeaked, holding on to a chair (we were in the eating area) for balance, "could you give us a minute?" No questions asked, Seamus left wordlessly.
"Okay Severus, what the hell do you want?" Why was he here, hunting me down, when I thought I had made it clear I never wanted to see him again!
"I want an explanation," his voice was cold and emotionless. I could not tell if he was hurt, or sad, or angry, of maybe it was the potions making him do this? I searched my brain for any answer other than the right one, that he wanted to talk to me. But never the less, I saw red.
"You want an explanation! You want a bloody explanation!" I yelled, not caring that most of the staff was staring at us. Then I realized that most of the staff was staring at us, so I dragged him into the empty patient room next door. "What about me?" I then regained control of my voice, yet my eyes began to tear up. "When I woke up the other morning, all I remember was how sad, heartbroken and lonely I felt when you left me. And as natural as it felt to be waking up next to you, I did not want to feel the pure agony I have felt since we broke up. Maybe you could have softened the blow by giving me an explanation instead of 'Hermione we can't see each other anymore--'"
He interrupted with, "My reasons were completely selfish, idiotic, asinine, what ever you want to call it. The point is I made a mistake. But Hermione, two wrongs certainly do not make a right, yet I can see why you left," his voice was soft and soothing, almost like the purr he had when he whispered it to me late at night. "Do you really want to know my reason for dumping you?"
"Yes."
He sighed, as though he was about to do something he would deeply regret. "My reputation was in jeopardy."
I felt as though I had been punched in the stomach. My first love had dumped me because of his reputation? "Whaaaat?" I gasped.
"People were saying things about us. They said that we had been in a relationship long before you left Hogwarts, they were saying I was going against my family and their traditions--"
I had had enough of this. "So then Severus, you are most certainly who not who I thought you were. You put on the façade of being some man, higher above the rest of us, who does not give a flying fuck what any one thinks about him. Yet you care enough to end the best relationship both of us will probably ever have. Applause Severus. Enjoy your life of lonliness, while I go off and marry someone I will never love as much as I loved you." I finally began to cry, so I turned a bolted out of the room. I heard a feeble 'Hermione' coming from him, but I pretended I hadn't heard. I had finally gotten what I had wanted to off of my chest, and I had found out the information I had wanted to know--or at least wanted to at the time.
I found the toilets, so I cleaned up a little before I went back outside. I found Seamus almost immediately. "Hey there Hermione, how..." his voice trailed off as he saw my puffy red eyes. He engulfed me in a hug, and I began to cry again. "Listen, our shifts are just about over. How about I take you out tonight, for a pick-me-up?"
The prospect of going out, with a peer for once instead of alone, seemed like the perfect idea to take my mind off today. I smiled weakly and agreed. He would pick me up at eight, and we would go dancing--a secret passion of mine.
Once I reached my flat, I took a long hot bath filled with bubbles and lavender oil. I picked out my favorite outfit, a slightly clingy red tank top that had a scoop neck, and my newest black jeans. Seamus had told me we were going to a hot new club in the Muggle part of London, so no robes tonight. I charmed my hair from its usual curls (although they were not a bushy as they used to be) to deep waves. I applied only basic make up, mascara, a little blush...and just a hint of my new 'Sex Kitten' perfume. After all, it was very clear that he and I would never be together, so it is high time to find my second love.
Seamus showed up at eight o'clock on the dot. He looked very handsome in jeans and a white dress shirt, showing off a tan the fluorscent lights of St Mungo's could not do justice to. He also looked very muscular now that he was not lost under the billowing white doctor's robes. Hmm.. I wondered to myself, what would he be like on the dance floor?
We got a cab to the club, Joint, and I was surprised by the number of people I knew there. Ginny Weasely was with Neville, and Lavender Brown was with someone I didn't recognize. And a rather tipsy-looking Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy were snogging by the bar. Joint was lit through the floor, with no wall or ceiling lights. There was a DJ playing many muggle songs I recognized. There was a bar serving what was obviously alcohol, Merlin knows I would need some of that.
"Come on! Let's dance!" Seamus grabbed my hand and led me up onto a platform where many other couples were dancing. This version of dancing was much more provocative than anything I had ever done, but I let the beat carry my body. Seamus was an amazing dancer, and when the second song ended, he whispered in my ear "Wow Hermione, I had no idea what a bllody great dancer you were." We left the floor a few dances later, to get drinks. He ordered a 'Black Devil' while I, feeling risky, got a Sex on the Beach. When I placed my order, Seamus laughed, as did I. I did not even know what I had ordered but it felt goooood going down, so I got two more. We then went back to dance, and my body was feeling much lighter than it had at the beginning.
I tossed my head back and wiggled my body to the music. "Oh Seamus!" I giggled, and it felt like a lot of effort to get the words out. "This is the best time I've had in months!" He smiled at me, and he looked really gorgeous smiling there in the light. So I kissed him. And he kissed me back. And we kissed all night long...I think...
A/N: Oh Heavens! Here we go, I have many, many devilish plans for this story.In fact I am starting the next chapter as soon as I have posted this one(in about 5 minutes).But do not fear, true love conquers all...or does it? You'll have to keep reading to find out! Reviews appreciated!
