Chapter 29

Severus deepened the kiss after a few minutes and placed one hand behind Hermione's head, caressing her skull while intertwining her hair into his long finger, and another hand on her back making her flush against Severus' white shirt. It wasn't long before her hands began undoing the button of his shirt, still kissing each other passionately.

She managed to undo the last button and tried to take it off of him unsuccessfully as he refused to let go of her. She bit lightly on his bottom lip and a light shone into his eyes. A light Hermione knew very well. She smiled teasingly at him breaking the kiss and biting on her own bottom lip before stepping away from him slowly.

He made a swift movement towards her and caught her in his arms. Although he just wanted to pull her on top of his shoulder and bring her to their room in the manner of an uncivilized troll. His gentleman instinct got the better out of him and he placed his right arm underneath her knees and his left around her back before pulling her from her feet and carrying her to their bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and removed his indoor slippers before climbing on the bed. Hermione lied back on the bed, her back propped against the king size bed's headboard and curling her finger in a come-hither motion.

Severus crawled across the bed as a feline to his pray and took her hands in his own and pinned them above her head before placing a feather like kiss on her lips that left her wanting for more. He took the blouse she was wearing in between his fingers and unbuttoning it slowly placing kisses as her skin was revealed before his eyes.

He reached behind her back letting her hands entangle into his semi-long black hair before managing to unclasp her bra and discarding it to the other side of the room. His hands roamed alongside her body before going to her jeans passed the baby bump and slipping one of them inside it. His fingers cupping her mons above her knickers.

"Please Severus, don't tease, it's been too long." Hermione panted when his thumb slipped inside her knickers and rubbed across her clit.

"Wait for a little love, I am not quite finish with you for the moment" Severus said before taking one of her darkened nipples into his mouth and suckling on it lightly.

As Hermione saw that he wasn't going to do anything about the ache she felt in between her legs, so she took matters in her own hands and pinned him to the bed before sitting on top of him. His erection straining his pants and trying to break free of its fabric prison.

Severus moaned as he lost the feeling of her nipple inside his mouth and as she began grounding on his erection. That's when she felt that she was now completely and utterly naked. She gasped and looked at Severus who smiled at her innocently. She found out that she had no interest at finding her pants back and continued grounding on hi, rhythmically. He placed his hands onto her waist and tried to pull her up and turn her onto the bed. But soon he realized that she would not let him and gave up.

"Herms please, take me, I need you" Severus said feeling himself lightheaded as he felt the blood rushing more and more to his nether region.

Hermione casted a Divesto wordlessly and wandlessly to Severus' clothes and immediately, his cock sprung to life. As soon as Hermione felt the throbbing appendage against her wet folds, she pressed on her knees and rose above him before placing his cock inside her. She moaned as it slipped inside of her and waited for a few moments before going up and down. It wasn't long before her inner walls began pulsing around his cock as they were both panting. She came in an almighty continuing to ride him through her orgasm which soon became their as he came screaming her name into the bedroom.

She collapsed next to him and he pulled her in a tight but tender embrace looking deep into her eyes. He placed a hand on her belly and immediately felt a brief but strong pressure against her hand. He smiled as he felt his daughter settle inside her mother's womb.

"I love you my angel. Rest for now, I'll keep the little one calm. She is quite a kicker and it looks like she's settled for the time. Sleep well darling." He said before placing a light kiss on her forehead and Accioing the blanket over their bodies. After a few seconds, they both fell in a peaceful slumber.

Hermione woke up four hours later as she felt a very firm kick inside her. As Severus had his hand above her belly, he too felt the kick and woke up. He calmed their daughter once more before casting a tempus charm and seeing that it was already 8 p.m.

He got out of bed, got two pairs of Pajamas out of their closet and threw his own on before going towards Hermione and helping her into a maternity night gown. They had realized two weeks ago that transfiguring clothes was good for the first term but as their child grew inside Hermione's belly, transfiguration was not an option anymore. They had gone to Madam Molkin's and had bought new clothes for her once again.

"Come love, I'll make you something to eat. I was hoping we could also discuss where you would like our little girl's room to be in our different houses and how you would like to have decorated. We also have to owl Minerva to tell her that I will be coming back to Hogwarts to teach and you will come back and study." Severus said helping Hermione out of bed.

"Go on, owl Minerva and I'll begin preparing the meal love. Just don't be too long because the meal will be ready in 15 minutes max." Hermione said pecking his cheek before going down the stairs and into the kitchen.

He entered his office at the Manor and opened his cabinet taking out the stationery he needed to write to the Headmistress.

Dear Minerva,

I hope all is well at Hogwarts and that the renovations are going along nicely. I am so very sorry not to be able to come and help, but Hermione and our daughter need me by their sides. We just learned that the baby we will welcome in November is a little girl. Hermione and the baby are both doing well so we are both coming back to Hogwarts to our greatest delight. We are very thankful that you will make it so that there is always at least one of us available during the day to take care of the baby.

P.S: This is Tweedle, our owl, could you give him access to the owlery so he can rest for a short while. I think that food will also be welcomed.

Thanks again for everything,

See you at the wedding

Yours truly.

Severus Tobias Snape

When he finished writing his letter, he whistled and Tweedle came soaring through the window. When he had landed onto the desk in front of Severus, he bit his finger and Severus let a gasp escape his lips.

"Stop that Tweedle. I know we asked a lot of you lately and that it wasn't an easy job to deliver the wedding invites but I think the rewards you got made it worth don't you and you had a little rest for the two last weeks with plenty enough food. I need you to deliver this to Headmistress McGonagall at Hogwarts." Severus said patting the bird's head before tying the piece of parchment to the it's paw and looking at it fly out through the window.

He then rejoined Hermione to the smell of cooking food. She was cutting some vegetables before throwing them into an oil filled pan. He placed his arms around her waist. It caught by surprise and she cut herself with the knife she was holding.

"Severus, you're mad. Don't you ever do that to me again, or I'll swear you'll regret it for quite some time." Hermione said wrapping her hand in a nearby chiffon and taking her wand in her uninjured hand.

"I… I… I didn't want to hurt you Hermione" Severus said quickly pulling away from her and curling himself against the corner of the kitchen counter "I'm sorry…" he said on the brink of tears.

She placed her wand on the slice and the skin immediately regenerated under her wand only leaving a very thin white line in her palm.

"Hey, love, I'm not mad at you, I was just startled that's all. What is it? Tell me love." She said going towards him and taking his hands in her own before placing them on her belly and taking his face into her owns before kissing him softly. "See, not mad"

"I'm sorry once again love. Sit down love, I'll finish preparing the meal. Tomorrow I am taking you to Diagon Alley to Madam Malkin's for your last fitting before the wedding. We also have to get you a new set of robes for next year." Severus said looking at her baby bump protruding from her bathrobe.

"Ok, I'll just set the table up. Can we go and read together in the library afterwards? It's not that I don't like reading alone, it's just that I prefer being with you and your daughter too" she said taking the dishes out from the cupboards and drawers before placing them on the table.

"No problem love"

Severus finished preparing the table and a few hours later, they both laid in bed after having each read at least one book.

"Goodnight my sweet angel. Sleep well." Severus said before kissing Hermione tenderly. He tried to deepen the kiss, but Hermione pulled back and he groaned in annoyance.

"Not tonight love, I have to admit that I wore myself out earlier while riding you. In ten days we'll be married and I promise you that our wedding night won't be a restful one." She said cheekily before pecking his cheek and turning around.

He spooned her and turned the lights out wandlessly before making sure she was safe inside his arms. When he heard her breathing even out, he fell himself asleep.

They woke up and showered together and snogged until the shower got cold and they both went to their closets to dress themselves. When they went downstairs and saw thankfully that the breakfast had been made and waited for them on the breakfast table.

After having finished their breakfast, they prepared themselves to leave and Severus apparated them safely into the Leaky Cauldron and headed towards Madam Malkin's stopping here and there and looking at the shops' windows. They entered Madam Malkin's and were immediately greeted by the small plump woman who was Madam Malkin.

"Madam Malkin, how glad I am to see you." Hermione said shaking the witch's hand.

"The pleasure is all mine Hermione. Come on through, I can see your child grew quite well over the last few weeks" the witch complimented Hermione while going up the flight of stairs inside the private dressing rooms.

"Well I am after all five months pregnant now and little one is getting quite heavy. I have to go at the Apothecary and buy a weight supporting belt for my back." Hermione informed the witch rubbing her belly with her hand.

"Come along now, Severus, if you would kindly wait here for your fiancée I am sure you do not wish to see her in her wedding dress right now. We'll be right back." The witch chuckled before closing the door of the private dressing room.

Hermione stood there and the witch waved her wand and the form which carried her dress appeared out of thin air. The dress was now finished. They just had to finish the last detail and she would be able to wear it for her wedding.

"It's beautiful" she said a large smile on her face

"Thank you, Hermione, I hope you will feel comfortable wearing it. We added a few gems and stones to Severus demand and it is beginning to be quite heavy. I'll help you put it on and then we have to make the last touches and you'll be able to bring it home with you. I'll be there to help you and put it on the day of the wedding of course." The witch said taking the dress magically off of the form.

When Hermione had put the dress on, she felt as though she was going to cry from happiness. She was finally marrying the man she loved. If someone had told her a year ago that she would be marrying her old Potion Professor and pregnant with his child she would have told that person that they were barking mad.

Today, she was engaged to her old Potion Professor and they were going to have a little daughter in a few months. She would also be resuming her scholarship at Hogwarts pass her NEWTs and begin a tutelage under Professor Flitwick. How could she be any happier.

Madam Malkin finished doing the last of the sewing needed and helped Hermione out of the dress before packing it carefully inside a large box.

"Do you need anything else Hermione?" she asked as she placed the box in a bag

"Actually, it is a great secret, and I wouldn't want it to be divulged but I am going back to Hogwarts this year and I am in serious need of a new sets of robes. Mine won't fit me any more I'm afraid." Hermione said embarrassed.

"You can be assured of my entire and complete silence on the matter Hermione. Let's go for two sets of robes. I'll just adjust them to you and you'll be good to go, it'll take us just a minute." The witch said summoning the largest robe she had in store and modifying it so it would fit her for the rest of her pregnancy. "they will get tighter as the little one grows. Just tap the brand in the collar and they'll adjust themselves to your needing."

Hermione dressed herself back and the witch packed the two sets of robes into a box that looked very similar to the one containing her wedding dress. They got out of the dressing room and Madam Malkin gave the bag to Severus who was waiting on the other side of the door.

"The bill for the wedding dress will be sent directly to you. The other robes are on the house" the witch said smiling to the couple.

"Why? Thank you, Madam Malkin. You really don't have to do that for us." Hermione said to the shop owner.

"It is my pleasure. It's not every day I see such a lovely couple in my boutique." She bowed her head and they went back downstairs an out of the shop.

"Where do you need to go love?" Severus said placing one arm around Hermione's waist.

"I have to go to the Apothecary to get the weight supporting belt and then I would love to go back home and finish going over the seating chart for our table." Hermione said before leaning into Severus.

They went to the Apothecary and got the weight supporting belt before going back to the Leaky Cauldron. Severus Apparated them then safely at the front porch of the Manor and they went into the library.

Hermione went towards the desk and took a quill out of it. She then conjured up a parchment and began scribbling furiously on the paper. Severus was curious about what she was doing but didn't dare neither to ask her what exactly she was doing nor peeking above her shoulder.

They were interrupted two hours later, when Hermione felt an intense kick in her stomach.

"OUCH, that really hurts." She said placing both of her hands around her belly and cradling softly waiting for the kicking to stop. "Shhh little girl, shhh. Calm down. What is it?" she said softly to her own belly.

Severus stood up and rubbed his hand together shortly before pulling the desk chair Hermione was sitting in and pulling her t-shirt up. He placed his hand above her belly and immediately felt the child settle underneath the palm of his hand.

"I think she just wanted to have her dada stay a little with mommy and her for a little while." Severus said rubbing Hermione's stomach slightly. "Come on love you must be hungry, it's already one in the afternoon and you haven't got anything inside of you since nine in the morning. I'll ask Wilky to prepare us the meal."

Severus clasped his hand and Wilky appeared in front of him. He asked for a nice lunch and to tell them when it would be ready. He then helped Hermione out of the desk chair before pulling her in for a kiss.

"I want you Hermione. I want you now. I think I'll might die if you don't let me feel your naked skin against my own. Please love." Severus said sounding desperate.

"I want you too Severus. Please, take me now." Hermione said.

They went to bed and he made love to her. A few moments later, they were laying in a post-coital slumber when Wilky came and told them that the meal was ready. Severus took Hermione's hand in his and summoned their bathrobe.

"Thanks love. It was a perfect day" Hermione said as they got down to the staircase and into the dinning room.
