Chapter 22- A romantic date

Severus Snape was grading papers in his office at Hogwarts when he felt a burn on his left arm. Snape immediately knew that Voldemort was calling all of his Death Eaters to some site in England or Scotland. Snape then walked out the gates of Hogwarts and apparated to the Riddle House in Little Hangleton where all the Death Eaters were meeting.

"Severus, you are late," Voldemort said when Snape arrived.

"My lord, I apologize. I did have to get out to the gates of Hogwarts before I could apparate here my lord," Snape said, bowing to Voldemort.

"You do not have your robes on Severus. Maybe you are a traitor to that fool Dumbledore?" Voldemort said with an ugly sneer on his face.

"My lord, I must have forgot. I must apologize," Snape said, starting to feel uneasy.

Voldemort started to laugh as he dug into Snape's mind with his superb Legillimency skills. "So, you have been a traitor all along like I thought," Voldemort said disgustingly.

Snape tried to put up some Occulmency shields but failed. Snape gasped in horror as Voldemort learned that Potter would be staying with Granger in Canterbury. As Voldemort continued to extract memories of Snape working as a traitor, Voldemort continued to laugh.

Voldemort then stopped and took out his wand. "Crucio!" Voldemort shouted causing Snape to scream and wither in pain on the floor. Voldemort continued to keep the curse on Snape for two more minutes before stopping.

"Please my lord, have mercy on me," Snape moaned from the ground.

Voldemort took out a knife from the inside of his robes and went to the ground so that he was facing Snape. "Do you fear death Snape?" Voldemort asked.

Snape merely spat in Voldemort's face. "I do not fear anything especially you," Snape replied, causing a gasp among the Death Eaters.

"So be it," Voldemort said, taking the knife and making a lightning bolt shaped cut on Snape's forehead. "You can now have the same fate that awaits your hero Potter. AVADA KEDAVRA," Voldemort said, killing Snape.

Meanwhile, in a different part of England Harry Potter was standing by a window and looking out at the empty street below him. He had just seen Snape get killed in another vision/dream and as a result, he couldn't sleep. He had to slowly get out of bed so that he would not wake up Hermione, who was sleeping peacefully and looked beautiful. Harry sighed and sat down on the floor. He had not really had those dreams/visions for a long time but now if they were going to come back and haunt him, he wanted some Occulumency lessons from somebody. Harry then heard a slight noise and turned around to see Hermione was awake.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"I just had another dream or vision or whatever," Harry replied.

"Do you want to discuss it Harry?" she asked, hugging him tightly.

Harry thought for a minute. Hermione had always been by his side but he had always unleashed his burdens on her and wasn't sure if he wanted to do that. On the other hand, Hermione had always told him to speak to her and now Harry was at a crossroads. With a sigh, Harry then began to speak. "In this dream or vision, I saw Voldemort and his Death Eaters meet in the Riddle House. Snape had arrived late and wasn't wearing his Death Eater robes. Voldemort then used his Legillimency skills on Snape and found out that Snape was a traitor. Voldemort then put Snape under the Cruciatus, made a lightning shape cut on Snape's forehead and killed him."

Hermione looked horrified after Harry had told her the contents of his latest dream/vision. She just continued to hug Harry tightly while still recovering from the news. After a while, Hermione started to cry just a little and Harry had to comfort her. Both of them stood in the room in each other's arms before Harry spoke again.

"Hermione, it's okay," he whispered into her ear.

"Harry, it's not okay. You should be taking lessons to prevent this," she said.

"I will. I'll go and ask Dumbledore when we return to Hogwarts."

"Oh Harry, it's just that I'm really concerned about you."

"I know. I love you too," he said, kissing her.

"Harry, take off my clothes for me," she whispered.

"Are you sure you want me to do that?" he asked in response.

"Of course I am Harry. I love the way your hands feel when they're on my body. I love the way you are, hell, I love everything about you Harry. I want you to make love to me Harry," she whispered.

"Okay," he replied, taking off her pants and shirt, leaving Hermione in her bra and panties. In response, she took off his t-shirt and pants then pushed him onto a bed. Hermione then took off her bra and panties then pulled off Harry's boxers. They then passionately made love with each other and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, Harry found himself next to a naked Hermione. He had remembered that he had a vision last night and Hermione was there to comfort him. Harry also remembered that they ended up having sex with each other as a result. Looking at the beautiful young woman beside him made Harry think. Hermione had now developed a gorgeous body and although he would rate Lavender and Parvati slightly ahead of Hermione in terms of beauty, she was still extremely beautiful to him. She had certainly developed a wonderful pair of breasts and a firm ass.

He brushed away several strands of hair that were covering her face and continued to stare at her beautiful and gorgeous body. He started to gently massage her various body parts slowly so that she could sleep more. He was still massaging her when he gently kissed her forehead. He turned away for a minute then heard soft giggles beside him.

"If I pretend to be asleep again, will you continue what you were doing before?" Hermione asked.

"You were awake all this time and you didn't say anything?" Harry said in mock outrage.

Hermione put her hands on Harry's shoulder and gave him a tender massage. "I didn't want to say anything because I was savoring the treatment my boyfriend was giving me," she whispered into his ear and kissing him on the cheek.

"Savoring the treatment?" he asked.

"Yeah because you have really soft hands that feel good when you rub them on someone's body," she replied.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?" he asked, placing a hand near her stomach.

"Are you trying to touch certain parts of my body that you shouldn't be touching?" she asked with a grin on her face.

"What are you trying to say Miss Granger?" he asked in response.

"I can see how you want to touch some parts of my body that a lot of people would never touch in their lifetime," she said, smiling at him.

"Miss Granger, I would never ever think of doing something like that," he replied.

"Oh Harry, stop lying. Go ahead and touch them," she said, smiling at him.

Harry sat up on the bed and moved closer to Hermione. He kissed her softly before placing his hands over her breasts. After letting his hands linger on her breasts for a minute, he then put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Harry, you shouldn't be doing this. My parents might come in to my room at any minute."

"So? It's not like I give a damn," he said, kissing her.

Hermione felt her insides turn to lead when Harry kissed her like that. She had often failed to develop the courage and tell him that she loved him. There were numerous times when she could have done it but she had waited until now to tell him, almost two years after she had developed feelings for him. They continued to kiss, not knowing that the Dave and Anna Granger had seen them and left the house with smiles on their faces.

After eating a breakfast of eggs and toast, Harry and Hermione were sitting around in the living room of the Granger home. Dave and Emma Granger had left earlier so that they could go to work at their office and had left a note saying they had left.

"So Herm, what are we going to do today?" Harry asked.

"I don't know silly," Hermione replied.

"Are we going to do any studying today Hermione?" he asked.

"Harry, of course we are! Don't you know that we have to take the NEWT's real soon?" she asked.

Harry then gave her his usual pout. "I don't want to study, I want to be with the woman I love," he said, picking up Hermione in his arms.

"Harry, please let me down," she replied.

"I'll let you down if you promise me that we are not going to study today and study another day," he replied, gazing into her eyes.

Hermione found herself mesmerized by Harry's wonderful green eyes and felt at ease in his arms. Maybe Harry was right after all. They could study another day and go to see a movie today. She had especially wanted to see the movie 'Titanic' which had just came out not too long ago. "Okay Harry, we're not going to study today. Instead we're going to see a movie by the mall and go shopping," she replied.

"What movie are we seeing?"

"We're seeing 'Titanic' Harry, so we should get ready to leave the house."

"Okay, meet you here in several minutes?"

"Sure Harry."

Harry and Hermione went upstairs to find some clothes to change into. Hermione decided to wear a sweater and a pair of blue jeans. Harry on the other hand, chose to wear a sweatshirt over a t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. Both of them also took a jacket with them because the temperature was anywhere from five degrees below zero to one degree. Twenty minutes later, both of them were ready to leave and stored their wands in their jeans. They left the house and walked to the nearest bus stop, which was two meters away from the Granger home.

"Why can't we just apparate there?" Harry asked, as they stood waiting for the bus.

"Harry, you don't know the coordinates to the shopping mall do you? and how am I supposed to get there if you apparate there?" Hermione asked in reply.

"Fair point Herm," he said.

The bus arrived five minutes later and Harry and Hermione got on the bus. They found seats by the back and sat close to each other. Harry put his arms around Hermione's shoulder and she put her head on his shoulder. As the bus moved on, Harry watched the scenery as it passed by.

"Harry, we should be at the mall in twenty five minutes," Hermione whispered and Harry nodded in reply.

They started to kiss each other and twenty five minutes later, got off in front of a fairly big shopping mall. They entered and went straight to the movie theater, which was all the way in the back of the mall. By now, a long line of people waiting to buy tickets had formed.

"Hermione, why don't you go to buy some popcorn and soda pop while I wait for the tickets and we can meet up later?" Harry asked.

"Good idea Harry, remember we want the eleven thirty showing of 'Titanic' honey. I'll meet up with you later," she said, kissing him before walking away.

Harry heard some laughing from behind him and turned around to see a fairly attractive woman with blonde hair in her early twenties giggling behind him. She stopped briefly when she saw Harry, then placed a hand on his shoulder and continued to giggle.

"I'm so sorry," she said between giggles.

"It's okay," Harry replied.

"It's just that you two look like the perfect couple," the woman said.

"Uh, that would be a compliment?" Harry asked.

"Of course silly, I'm Jennifer Brooks," the woman said.

"I'm Harry Potter," he said.

By now Harry had reached the front of the line to buy tickets. "It was nice talking to you Miss Brooks," he said as he reached the front of the line.

"Same here Harry," she said, giving him a wave that Harry returned.

"Hi, what can I do for you?" asked the attendant at the counter, another attractive woman with shoulder length blonde hair.

"Um, I would like to buy two tickets for the eleven thirty showing of 'Titanic'," Harry said.

"Ooh, here with your girlfriend to see the movie?" the attendant asked.

"Um yeah," Harry said.

"Enjoy the movie sir. It has been a pleasure to speak with you," the attendant said, giving Harry the tickets.

"Same here," Harry replied, giving her money for the tickets.

Harry then walked over to where the concession stand was and saw Hermione standing there waiting for him with a huge bucket of popcorn and a huge soda in her hands.

"We're going to split the soda and the popcorn Harry," she said as they made their way into the theater to see the movie.

"Okay I don't care," he replied.

They gave their tickets to an attendant who ripped off part of the ticket and then told them where they had to go to see the movie. Harry and Hermione then went into the theater, picked two seats near the back and Hermione put her head on Harry's shoulder.
