Hermione finally stepped out of the shower after scrubbing herself until her skin was purely red. Changing into a fresh skirt and a clean white shirt she made her way to the living room. (No one to be seen). 'Thank Merlin Severus is a workaholic!'
She sat down on the big couch in front of the fireplace, (which lit up as soon as Hermione walked into the room). Today's events flew into her mind. She groaned. 'Why did he have to give me a detention? It's so…Snape-like of him. And why the hell does Draco have to be alive?' she closed her eyes and imagined she was anywhere but there at Hogwarts. Ben suddenly popped into her mind, 'Oh it's going to be so exciting to tell him I've got hitched.' And for that she buried her face in her hands.
It was about 6:30 already. Time flies by when you most want it to freeze in space. Hermione looked around. 'Ok…nothing to do.' Dinner was almost over, and in a small while she'd have yet another detention with the man whom she hated for so many years. The very same one who married her. The same one who gave her shivers whenever he kissed her.
Hermione laid down and closed her eyes for a minute. Not noticing what time it was she took a little nap. After what seemed like five minutes to her she woke up with a start. She couldn't be late again for falling asleep! Looking at her watch she relaxed, 6:50. She'd make it on time. Since they were already in the dungeons and since his classroom was close to their chambers she'd be there in no time.
Picking her unwilling self up she sprinted into the bedroom and brushed her hair. Hermione walked carelessly to her detention. The big wooden doors now right in front of her. Taking a deep breath she knocked three times.
A bitter voice reached her ears, "Enter."
She smoothed down her shirt. Last thing she wanted was Snape worrying over her, again. Hermione slipped in the potions classroom quietly, not making eye contact with him. As the doors closed behind her she took a step forward, than another and another. At last she was in front o his big intimidating table. He observed her as she looked at the floor with such interest. 'I wonder if he can read my mind. Hope not.'
She had zoomed out with her thoughts. That is until he spoke to her, his voice wasn't as harsh and mean as before. More of a caring one.
"Hermione." He watched as she closed her eyes trying to get rid of the thought of Draco being so close to her, his hands all over her legs. Shivers went up and down her spine.
"Hermione, what's wrong?"
She ended her thoughts and gave him what was suppose to be a strong smile, but came out as weak as it gets, "Nothing. I'm perfectly fine."
"Do you really think I believe you?"
"Yes."
"I don't."
"You should. Cuz I'm really fine. "
"Come here."
"Why?" Hermione really didn't want to be near anyone at the moment.
"Because."
"No." she said in such weak trembling voice. Her eyes filling up with tears.
"What's going on?"
"Trust me ok. It's all cool." She turned towards the back of the classroom, trying to hide her tears. She didn't notice but Severus had moved towards her and was now standing inches from her.
"I'm telling you, I've never met any other girl with such complicated life."
She swirled around surprised he was already that close to her. His sent was much nicer than Draco's she noticed. As Hermione noted his smell memories from her earlier class invaded her mind. She wiped the tears away.
"Why am I getting the feeling it had something to do with Draco."
"It's…not that." She lied.
"Herm-"
She cut him off, "Don't ok! I'm not fine, but you don't have to worry about it. All right. It's personal."
"I'm your husband, your problems are my problems. Now tell me what happened." He ordered.
Sighing she closed her eyes, "Some things are better left alone."
He reached forward and gripped both her arms tightly. Big fat tears rolled down her face.
"You know, hurting someone so they'll tell you what you want may work with Death Eaters. But not with a sixteen year old girl."
He closed in leaving no space between them. Hermione trembled as his body heat reached her skin. Severus was so close. 'This is so not what I needed'.
"Mione, I never asked you to change anything about your life or about yourself when you married me…but I can't stand by knowing you are not happy, knowing someone hurt you."
Hermione slipped her hands behind his neck and hugged him tightly. Severus was surprise but she smelled so nice. He couldn't help but slide his hands behind her lower back. She rested her head on his shoulder after a minute.
"This is all bull."
He stroked her hair protectively. "What are you talking about?"
Stepping back Hermione sat on the nearest desk to her right, "Why does…why does he always get to me…" she whispered to herself.
"Who?"
"Do I have written on my face, fuck me I'm vulnerable don't worry it's all good?"
Severus looked dead serious, "Fuck you? Who! Did someone touch you? Hermione!"
She shook her head, "No one, just …humph…never-"
"Tell me right now who!" he ordered loudly.
"It's not anything really grave, just Draco got in my way to class…and…" she stopped as the class thing came to her mind. 'should I tell him? He'd so freak. Maybe…maybe not…maybe…maybe not. Uhu!'
"Yes?"
"He was just being a jerk as always."
"Ok, now mind you tell me why were you looking so desperate in class, and why you didn't even see you actually had work to do?"
She gulped, 'how the hell did he know? I was in the very back.'.
"Umm…well… I…Draco…"
"I don't have all night."
"Draco was just being a pain as usual."
He sighed, she wasn't going to tell him. At least not for now. She looked around it had been a while since she got there. It was 8:15 already. Standing up she looked around.
"So…when is my detention going to start? What do you want, clean cauldrons? I want to go see my friends before it's after the curfew."
"You umm…you could…never mind, I don't need anyting from you. Get out of here meet your little girlfriends. Come back at 10:00."
She hesitated for a second, "No, it's fine. What do you want me to do? Organize something?"
He turned towards his desk glad she was staying, "You can clean a few cauldrons."
She shighed, she could have gotten out of there in a second ago. 'Too late.' Walking over to the desk where a pile of cauldrons stood waitng to be cleaned she sat down and started to scrub them.
Severus watched her as she cleaned cauldron after cauldron. The girl was troubled he knew she wasn't been honest with him about Draco but he'd get it out of her afterwards. After a while Hermione looked up to him. 'I don't believe I'm actually going to do this…oh well, here it goes.'
"Umm…Severus, do you have any family left?"
"Nope."
"Right."
He watched as Hermione stopped cleaning and stared at the cauldron for a minute, "Why?"
"Because I'm not sure if we should tell my uncle."
He thought for a second, sure the guy was a damn bastard but he was still her only family left. "I don't know, do you want to?"
"I don't care."
"We'll see."
She nodded. After a quiet moment she finished with her detention. Looking around she took a long breath, "I'm done."
Severus looked up to see the now clean pile of cauldrons beside her. Nodding he said, "Good, you may go now." Hermione stood up and walked out of the class, as she reached her own chamber she closed the door behind her and sighed. Hermione definitely had a very hard life.
Going over to the sofa Hermione made herself comfortable. The room was warm. She thought back to everything that had happened that day, sure wasn't an easy day. About half hour later Sanpe entered the room, looking around he was surprised to see her still awake.
Walking slowly towards her Severus noticed she was zoomed out, and hadn't noted his presence in the room. Now he was a foot away from her, taking a deep breath he came behind her and reached down until he was beside her ear. He screamed.
As Hermione heard the noise on her left ear she jumped up, swirling around she met a laughing Severus Snape. 'I don't believe he just did that!' her heart was beating fast so fast it hurt. Walking towards him she pushed him against the nearest wall. Severus watched his half mad half smiling wife push him against the wall, pretending she had control over him Severus acted along.
"You little…"
"Yes…?"
She looked ready to kill, her ear tickling form the sudden noise, "Huh! How dare you! You know what I'm going to do with you?"
"And what would that be?" he smirked at her threat.
"I'll have to think for a proper punishment."
As quick as lightning Severus grabbed her by the waist and swirled her around so now she was the one against the wall. Hermione was caught out of guard, and now she was basically trapped.
"Punishment huh? Well what will you do?"
"For a start…" Hermione begun as she pulled him closer to her, her index finger tracing his chest. He moaned at her touch. Severus raised an eyebrow to her actions. She reached up so her face was mere millimeters from his, her lips brushed against his softly. Just as he presumed she'd kiss him Hermione pulled back. With a grin on her face she added sweetly.
"For a start I won't let you come close to me." She grinned evilly.
Placing both hands next to her head he reached down so he was closer to her, "I don't think you have a choice."
"Of course I do."
"Well, at the moment it seems as though you are trapped here."
She looked at her position, 'Ok, maybe I'm in a tight spot right now.' She still held her evil face on. Hermione made to push him away playfully by the chest but he caught both of her hands easily. Snape held her hands in his. Now placing her hands on the spot on the wall right above her head he grinned as evilly as he could.
"Too bad, you chose to marry me. Now you'll have to do as I say."
"Yeah right." She said sarcastically.
"If you haven't notice…you're kind of in a tight position."
Hermione saw a opening to his left. She made for it, unfortunately he pinned her against the wall with his body. She shrieked in failure as he held her in place with his body.
"So not fair."
"Nothing is fair."
"Move, I've got other things to do."
"Such as?"
"Sleep."
"That can wait."
Hermione wriggled trying to find an exit, but didn't succeed. Snape closed his eyes as she did so, it felt so…good. As she noted his pleasured face she blushed intensely. 'Wow, I think I just turned him on! HAHA! Who would have thought!"
As he reopened his eyes and shook his head mockingly, "Do you know what you do to me?" Hermione blushed more and more.
Bending down he kissed her ever so softly, she moaned as his hot lipsattached tohers. It wasn't like the first time they had kissed, then it had been strange and awkward but now it was just so exciting and wanted. Severus let go of her hands. Hermione moaned lightly as his hands made contact with her back, he held her closely, he held like someone in love would. Only difference was they weren't in love, or at least that's what they both thought.
She placed her hands on the back of his neck while the kiss got deeper and deeper. his tongue explored her with the same intensity as a man in the dessert who hadn't drunk water for weeks, lustfully. His hands made their way down to her ass, she smiled between the kiss when she noticed his actions. 'funny thing, I've got my potions master's hand down my ass! But then again it feels soooo sexy!' Hermione moaned deeply as he pressed her ass against his body. She knew it was way too soon for that, but it felt very outstanding. It had been a while since she had been properly kissed.
He wondered what the hell his wife was smiling about. Who cares. He was pleased she'd let him go further and further with her. His tongue caressed her mouth. It felt different from Mike, it felt more…more…she couldn't quite put it. The only thing she knew for sure was that Mike was more into getting to third base as fast as possible, just as if they hadn't seen each other for months. It wasn't like Hermione didn't enjoy sex by itself, but sometimes it felt as though he was so distant, so careless about her as a person more as if she was his little toy. But Hermione didn't complain at the time, she was young he was older more experienced while at the time she was only a beginner. She knew how silly she had been to let him go so far with her in so little time. Hermione was only fourteen and a half years old, she was a child, she was stupid.
Forgetting her Mike thoughts she focused on the person who she was Snogging. 'Seriously Mione! Thinking of other man while kissing your own husband!' she shook her head trying to get read of her conscience. After a while he pulled back. Looking down at her flustered face and swollen lips he smiled. Truth was having a young girl all for him wasn't such a bad thing.
"Could you let me go now?" (He still held her against the wall.)
"As you wish." He took a few steps to the side letting her pass. As she did so he slipped his hands around her waist and walked along with her, his body attached to hers. Leaning forward he whispered to her silkily.
"Glad you married your ugly Potions Master?" he held her back in place. She didn't move, it was quite strange to see him acting that way. But not that she wished he'd stop.
"You are not ugly!"
"Yeah right, I'm not mister prince charming either."
"Actually…never mind." She closed her eyes as he rocked her back and forth, from side to side.
"What?"
"You probably don't want to know."
"Tell me."
"Ummm…there is a group of girls who have horrid crushes on you."
"You're kidding right?" he smirked, who would have known?
"Nope, they in fact cried when the news of me marrying you reached their ears."
"Very funny. But you still haven't answered my question."
She breathed in and out slowly, "No, but just because you're hot."
"Never have I been called 'hot' before." He chuckled.
"Get used to it. Now on you're my hottie."
He swirled her around, "What did you just call me?"
"You don't like that? Well I have lots of other ones…lets see, honey bunny…or maybe sweetie…or my favorite…cupcake."
"Call me one of those names again and you'll never see the sun again." He played with her. She started to walk to the bedroom and he followed.
"Shall we go to bed sweet pea?" she asked mockingly. He raised an eyebrow to his nickname. She winked at him.
Going over to the bathroom she changed after taking a warm shower into her black boxers and her spaghetti strap shirt. Coming out to the bedroom she saw him waiting for her at the edge of the bed. About 15 minutes later he came back after his shower changed into his dark green boxers. She blushed at his exposed strong chest. She thought so strongly he'd be pale and weak, well she was terribly wrong. He was muscular and tan.
Looking quickly down to hide her wide eyes she laid in bed. Severus put on a shirt after noticing her reaction, even though he loved messing with her mind he knew it was a little too early for that. She was no beginner, but Hermione had things kept in secret, which Snape planed in finding out soon. Before anything happened. He laid beside her. After not long they both fell asleep.
