AN: You guys get to be in the know now. I'm updating.
Then Hermione woke up. She was sweating intensely. It was 3:00 AM, and not the first time she had woke up at that early. Dreams of Severus with someone else plagued her. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She looked over at Severus to see him sleeping soundly.
Thank God that was a dream, what did I eat last night? Hermione thought.
Hermione was too jittery to sleep, asthe dream had caused pain for her. Hermione did what most girls would do, she brought out a small tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and started eating.
"Hermione, Hermione darling wake up," Severus whispered softly into her ear.
Hermione had fallen asleep with her spoon in the ice cream. Her eyes fluttered open, and she immediately saw Severus.
"Severus!" Hermione cried.
"What's with the ice cream?" Severus asked pointing to the now half empty tub.
"Late night snack," Hermione said, deciding not to tell Severus about the dream again.
"Ah! I however prefer strawberry," Severus said looking at the puddle of chocolate ice cream.
Hermione laughed. "We'd better get ready, we have the first years to teach."
"Oh yes," Severus said sarcastically. "The dunderheads of all dunderheads."
Hermione laughed as she poured the ice cream down the sink. She threw out the cardboard tub and went to the dresser. On it, she yet again saw the newspaper cut out. It made her smile as she pulled out some black robes and carried them into the bathroom.
Meanwhile Severus picked out a pair of black robes from his drawer and started getting dressed.
Once they were done, they headed to the Potions classroom, running into Dumbledore on the way.
"Hello Albus," Hermione and Severus said in unison.
"Hello Hermione, Severus," Dumbledore said. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes." Severus replied. "Although Hermione let the chocolateice cream melt because she fell asleep during her late night snack."
Albus chuckled merrily. "Well, I shouldn't keep you from the first years, I'll see you at lunch." Albus walked away still chuckling.
"I don't see what's so funny." Hermione said grumpily as she walked into the classroom.
Severus gave a new speech for the first years which was much friendlier than the speech he had used in his wife's first year. Hermione taught the students how to light their fires and properly cut ingredients.
Severus gave the students a potion to work on and he and Hermione sat on the burgundy couch which replaced the chair that was there before. They sat reading different books. Hermione was reading Moste Potente Potions and Severus was reading a black book that looked like it was drenched in blood.
At the end of the day Hermione went back to the rooms. Severus had third years in for detentions. Crookshanks crawled up beside her as she sat on the couch.
"I wonder when he'll get back," Hermione said to the cat.
Crookshanks meowed loudly.
It was 11 o'clock before Severus came home. Hermione greeted him warmly at the door, offering him some firewhisky.
Severus took the bottle and took a large gulp. "Best thing after a long day," Severus said taking another swig of Firewhisky.
Hermione had her own bottle and was drinking it quite quickly too.
"You know Severus…" Hermione started. "Have you thought about children?"
"No, can't say I have," replied an already drunk Severus.
"Good, cause I don't want to think about them right now," Hermione said, capturing Severus' lips with hers.
"Me neither," Severus replied slowly taking off her shirt.
Soon both were undressed and laying in bed.
"Hermione…" Severus said.
"Yeah?" Hermione asked moving closer to him.
"I hope you don't get pregnant," Severus said as he handed himself over to her.
AN: Yeah, the rating has gone up. Just in case. Anyways. R&R
