Chapter 21
After having made Hermione her tea and toasts, he called Wilky by clapping in his hands. Wilky appeared in front of him and bowed slightly. He was wearing a dirty red jumper with little reindeers that fell to his feet and clothed him fully.
"Wilky is here for Master Snape. What is master willing?" The little elf asked bowing his head reverencing.
"Could you bring my future wife and myself some clothes? Could you also make an appointment with my banker? I wish to allow my wife full access to my accounts and so an appointment will be necessary to do so." Severus said looking down at the elf
"Yes Master, Wilky is be back very not late" the elf bowed once again in front of Severus and disappeared with a small crack.
He then went back to the kitchen where he found Hermione standing in front of the chimney looking at a black and white photo. It showed a semi-long black-haired boy holding a small girl inside his arm. He must have been at least 12 or 13 and the little girl was no older than 5 years old. The little boy was looking down at the little girl in his arms, a big smile spread across his face.
"My little sister, Noxia. She died 25 years ago. She was 5, I was 13. This was a few months before. This photo was taken in front of my grandparents' house." Severus said putting his arms around her waist.
"I'm sorry." Hermione said turning around and looking into Severus' eyes
"It was my father. We were in the garden playing when she accidently broke a vase on the lawn. My father came and began beating her up with his belt. I tried to stop him by interfering but it was too late. She was already… she was already… dead" Severus said tears spilling out of his eyes.
"Hey, it's not your fault, you did what you could to save her." Hermione said pulling him in a hug while caressing his long silky hair comfortingly.
"I am just so scared. What if I don't manage to protect you or our child? What if I turned out to be like my father? This ruined me. I joined the Dark Lord because of this. I don't want to make the same mistakes I did in my past" Severus said trying to get out of her embrace as if he was afraid of harming her.
"Look at me Severus, love. You are nothing like this man who calls himself your father. You understand me. Nothing. Because your father was a terrible one, does not mean that you will. On the opposite. I believe you will do everything in your power not to be that man." Hermione said holding him gently by the arms.
They stayed like that for a few moments only disturbed by Wilky light crack as he Apparated inside of the house.
"Wilky is back with Master and Mistress' clothes. Where is Master wanting the clothes?" Wilky asked bowing so low his head nearly touched the ground.
"You can put the clothes in our bedroom. Have you managed to come in contact with Miss. Grankord?" Severus inquired
"Wilky has contacts Miss. Grankord she is saying that she has plenty time to receives Master and Mistress today if Master and Mistress is available." The elf responded
Severus sent the elf away and went upstairs with Hermione. On the bed laid a beautiful dress. She touched the fabric with the tip of her fingers and felt the soft silk of the dress caress her digits.
It was a hand sawn, knee-length black dress true to the Potion Master's color range. It had a large cape attached to the shoulder straps and that was made of a very soft velvet like fabric. The front of the dress had buttons going down from the neckline until the waist where they disappeared under a thin leather belt. The rest of the dress was made out of another type of black silk with roses made out of sequins.
"Severus, it's beautiful. But why, I… I'm lost for words" Hermione said looking at him before placing a light kiss on his lips.
"Am I not allowed to treat my fiancée with a little engagement gift? I want you to wear this for our little walk. Maybe we could go to Diagon Alley and go shopping a little? What do you think my love?" Severus asked
"I would love to go shopping with you love. And of course, you are allowed to give my gifts. Ok, I'll go get dressed and I'll be right back." Hermione answered back
She went to the bathroom ad took the t-shirt and jeans she had worn in the morning off. When she removed her t-shirt, she saw that her stomach was slightly more rounded than the last time she had looked at herself inside a mirror. She had had the great idea to take the bodice Severus had gifted her with her and pulled it on before pulling the dress above her head, closing the buttons in the front of the dress and tying the belt around her waist.
When she got out of the bathroom, Severus' breath hitched. She was so beautiful in this dress that outlined her curves perfectly. He took her arm and the both of them went down the stairs and out of the cabin. They walked for a short while on the forest paths and after a good thirty minutes after, they Apparated to Diagon Alley.
In Diagon Alley, they first went to Gringotts bank. Hermione wanted to get some gold out of her vault not wanting to let Severus pay for everything that they would certainly be buying.
"Mr. Snape, Welcome to Gringotts England Wizarding Bank. I can see that you have company." A woman said bowing her head a little.
It was a quite small woman; her eyes were almond shaped and her black eyebrows well-groomed into two perfectly identical slightly curved lines. Her nose was a little larger on the side and her mouth was stretched into a quite fake smile. She was standing very straight into her tight fitted dark blue ensemble that went down to her knees. She had one hand in her back in the manner of a chic restaurant's waiter and a pair of round glasses was perched on top of her nose.
"Yes, indeed Miss Grankord. This lovely person by my side is Miss Hermione Jean Granger, future Mrs. Hermione Jean Snape. I would like to make the necessary procedures so that she can be able to access my personal vaults and properties. Will that be possible Miss Grankord in a relatively short amount of time." Severus said placing one arm around Hermione's waist.
"First of all, let me express on behalf of Gringotts England Wizarding Bank our most sincere Congratulations on your engagement." The Bankerwitch said politely "I will just need a MT from yourself and Miss Granger and everything will be ready in about half an hour. I will accompany you personally to your vault so that you can retrieve the amount you wish for your shopping trip." The little witch said in the same fake smile.
The witch took her through a corridor Hermione had never seen and led them into a more comfortable cart than the one they had took to get to Hermione's vault. Where her vault was only a mere mile before the surface of the earth, his or should she say theirs was easily a good 4 or even 5 miles beneath it. The cart stopped twenty minutes after. Hermione was leaning into Severus's chest and his left arm was wrapped around her shoulder while his right hand laid on her stomach.
The Bankerwitch opened the vault and Hermione's eyes widened in shock. His vault was easily five times bigger than her own and was full of gold and expensive looking artefacts piled up. Severus entered the vault and took two small pouches out of his robes. He placed two large handfuls of gold inside each of the pouch and gave one to Hermione who was still standing outside of the vault.
"I can't accept that Severus." She breathed out.
"I want to give you this for your wedding dress. It is traditional for the groom and his family to pay for the bride's dress and for the bride to wear the groom's family heirlooms." He said softly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that it was a tradition. I didn't want to offend you. I'm sorry but it is still so new for me Severus. I seem stupid. Don't I?" Hermione said blushing furiously.
"Not at all my love, I understand, now, let's go enjoy our little shopping trip." Severus said placing a quick but tender kiss on Hermione's lips. He took her back to the cart and the Bankerwitch tapped it with her wand and immediately, the cart began moving back up the tracks and into the same corridor they had took earlier.
"Here you go Miss Granger. Your key to your future husband vault. Once again I wish you on behalf of Gringotts England Wizarding Bank all the best in your marriage and hope to see you soon enough. Mr. Snape, Miss Granger." The little witch said bowing her head at each of them.
They got out into the street and began by going to Madam Malkin's robes for all occasions. There, Hermione bought five new dresses, three new robes and one set of dress robes that she will be able to wear for any formal event she might have to attend throughout her pregnancy. She had also took an appointment with the dressmaker for a first fitting for her wedding dress.
The couple had decided that a wedding in august will be very fine as it would be warm and the fields surrounding Prince's Manor would be beautiful. Hermione had decided she would wear a traditional Wizard Wedding Dress for the ceremony and a Muggle one for the evening.
They then went to Flourish and Blotts where Hermione bought two books Madam Pomfrey, or should she say Poppy, had advised her to buy. They contained Potions recipes that will help with her pregnancy as well as a few useful spells. She also bought A Guide For First Time Expecting Mothers by P. Regnant, Your Baby Week by Week by C. Hilde and Little Remedies and Useful Spells For Pregnant Witches by E. Xpert.
They headed then to the Magical Menagerie to buy themselves a new Owl. Hermione learned that it was the tradition to release the old Owl into Nature and for the new couple to buy a new Owl as they got engaged. They chose a black and white Owl which they named Tweedle.
Hermione felt completely exhausted and Severus took her arm, Apparating them both right next to the cabin. He placed the bags full of books, robes, dresses and dress robes and Tweedle's cage and food in the leaving room. He then opened the cage and the black and white Owl flew out of her cage and into the forest.
He then picked her up off her feet and placed her slowly onto the couch. Although she wanted things to go further, the low rumbling in her stomach persuaded her that she first needed to eat something.
"Darling, I… We are a little hungry at the moment. Don't worry, once our stomachs have been filled, I will be right there for you and don't worry, you will spend a memorable night my love." She said teasingly in his ear. "Afterall, I have to thank you for all the gifts you gave me today and I might have put the bodice you gave me under that dress of yours" she continued biting her lower lip teasingly.
Severus praticly ran into the kitchen which made Hermione roar with laughter. She could see him wave his wand above the pots and pans which were already filled with foods that smelled divine to Hermione's nose. He set the table up with the same rapidity and went back to the living room.
"If Madam is ready, dinner is served" Severus said pulling his hand out for Hermione to take.
She took it and he pulled her gently to her feet before guiding her to the dining table he had set. It had been dressed very simply but nonetheless elegantly. He had managed to fold the napkins into hearts that floated in mid-air above their glasses. A few candles laid around and formed a defined intertwined S and H.
"It's beautiful" Hermione breathed out.
Severus pulled the chair for her and she sat down. When he too sat down, he made the dishes appear onto the table and served Hermione before serving himself and banishing the dishes back to the kitchen. He had prepared quinoa accompanied by a beautiful piece of steak. They ate in a relative silence. Suddenly, Hermione let a moan escape her lips as she felt Severus hand go up her leg and into her knickers not fully coming in contact with her clit. Leaving her wanting for more.
"Severus, no teasing, please." Hermione 'said'
"I plan on making love to you all night. But first, I am getting my little revenge for earlier." Severus said smiling mischievously at Hermione.
He went around the table and pulled her chair back while she was still sitting in it. He took her hands and placed her onto her feet before putting his hands under her thighs and lifting her up as though she weighted nothing at all. He crossed the living room and went up the flight of stairs. Soon enough, he had entered their bedroom and placed her on the bed.
He began by removing his over coat and black shoes before gently grabbing her left foot and massaging the tension away. He removed the shoe constraining her foot and placed featherlight kisses onto them going slowly back up her leg. He did the same with her right foot and leg, this time not stopping at the calf but a mere inch from her clit.
He then went straight to her mouth and began snogging her. Where Ron and Viktor seemed to have for only objective sucking her face inside their mouth, Severus clearly wanted to turn her on, everywhere his tongue went begged for more when he left it. Never has she experienced this feeling of completeness. Never had she felt as if her whole entire world was crumbling under the experienced fingers and mouth of a man.
He had his hands entangled inside her hair which had once been rather tidy. It seemed that her hair didn't want to cooperate anymore and had decided that it would be in their best interest to go back to their original bushy mane self. Hermione groaned as she felt Severus' tongue battling with her own for dominance.
She then felt his hands leave her hair and slide to the front of the dress where the buttons held her garment together, he undid them with impressive skill and pushed the shoulder straps down her arms before tugging at the now offending garment. When he managed to do so, he discarded the dress to a corner of the room.
His breath caught when he saw his fiancée wearing the bodice he had ordered for her. She simply looked like Venus herself. His lips went dry and his cock began to harden at the thought of what was hidden under the bodice. He looked at her carefully and saw that her breasts were slightly bigger as they tried to escape the now a tiny bit too snug bodice. His mind went crazy and he immediately lapped at one of her tits through the fabric of the bodice. He payed the same attention to both of her nipples fondling the one he left unattended with his fingers. When he felt her squirm under him, he pulled the bodice away from her body and discarded it alongside her dress.
"I think, my love, you are slightly overdressed. Don't you think so?" Hermione asked cocking an eyebrow making herself look even more appetizing If such a thing could be possible.
"Let me remedy to that immediately" he said standing at the foot of the bed.
With a blink of an eye, his clothes vanished leaving Hermione the freedom to look at his now proudly erect shaft. She sat up and took his length into her hand before placing her lips around the tip of it and letting her mouth go slowly lower and lower on him. When she reached her gag reflex, she forced herself to relax and continued going down. When her lips reached the base of his shaft, she pulled herself back fully. She continued doing so a few times before she tasted Severus pre-cum on her tongue.
"Merlin, Herms you have absolutely no idea how much pleasure you are giving a man by allowing him so deep inside you. Once more, and I am not sure I would have lasted any longer." Severus said gasping.
Before Hermione had had the time to react, she felt Severus' powerful hand lift her from the bed and placing her onto the wall opposite the bed.
"Now I am going to make love to you until I hear you scream my name loud enough to go through any Silencing wards I might have placed on this bedroom." Severus said huskily to Hermione in the shell of her ear.
If Hermione wasn't wet before, she certainly was now. Her juices flowing freely from her onto her thighs. He placed her back carefully on the wall and placed one of his hand in between the wall and her head. Her legs wrapped around his hips. He lined his erection with her entrance and entered her slowly at first pushing against her g-spot. He entered her again and again at a slow but firm pace.
"More… Sev… Plea…F…uck…me…hader" Hermione said in between breaths
He began increasing his pace more and more and Hermione felt her orgasm come closer and closer.
"Come my beautiful witch. Let yourself go" he said to her
That was her undoing. Her orgasm came crushing into her like a wave taking everything with it. He came right as he felt her inner muscle squeeze him tighter.
"MERLIN FUCKING CIRCE SEVERUS" Hermione cried out as she came shouting at the top of her lungs, her legs squeezing around his waist tighter than ever as her back arched itself into him.
After a few seconds, Severus took her inside his arms and brought her to the bed were he placed her under the cover before joining his side of the bed and slipping himself under the covers.
"I love you my darling. Thanks for everything." Hermione said placing her back against him.
"It was my pleasure darling. I love you too." He replied spooning her
With that, they both fell asleep. Severus holding Hermione in a tight embrace as their body were flushed together making one.
