Chapter 35
"Welcome, welcome. Today, for some of you, your life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry begins. For other's they continue while they end for the last. I would first like to welcome back the staff who came back and assumed their positions once again. Professor Snape will come back as Potions Professor, while Professor Locklley will be assuming the position of defense against the dark arts teacher. I will recall to all of our students that the Forbidden Forest is off limit. Now off to bed everyone." Professor McGonagall told the students clapping twice in her hands.
Hermione was seating next to Harry and Ginny. They had gotten engaged a few days before back to school and were planning to get married during the next summer holidays. Hermione had been beyond happy to learn of the news and had congratulated the two of them abundantly. Ron too had come back to Hogwarts. He had barely spoke to Hermione apart from a small 'hey 'Mione' that she chose not to acknowledge.
Even though it had been nearly a month since Ron had interrupted her wedding. She was still extremely mad at him. Not only had he made a fool out of Severus and herself, but he had also placed Molly into a very difficult position. She had been beyond embarrassed by her son's behavior and had send a very long letter the week after apologizing once again for her son's misbehavior.
When Hermione had accompanied Harry and Ginny back up towards the Gryffindor's tower and to their dorms, she had felt a tiny pinch in her heart as she saw them rejoin their old group of friends and the portrait of the fat lady closing back on them. She went back down the steps and into the dungeon to rejoin Severus.
"Hey love, where are you?" Hermione said as she took her school cloak off and hung it onto a mantle hanger next to the door.
"In the shower" she heard Severus voice reply from the en-suite bathroom.
She took the rest of her clothes off, laid them neatly onto a small chair inside the bedroom and went into the shower stall with him, snaking her arms around him and hugging him sideways.
"Hey darling" he said spinning around and looking at her with a bright smile on her face
"How was dinner? Did anything interesting?" Hermione asked as she took her soap lotion and squeezed a little into the palm of her hand.
"Not really, talked with Locklley. Doesn't seem to be as much of a dunderhead as the preceding ones Dumbledore chose. I actually have a little hope for him. I think he might actually be there for a quite a while" He said before pulling his head back into the stream of water and soaking his semi-long hair.
"Here, turn around, I'll help you with it." Hermione said as she took some of his shampoo into her hand and rubbed it in her fingers to make it foam a little.
"Mmmh, it feels really good love." Severus hummed as she rubbed the shampoo into his long hair and massaged his scalp by the same occasion.
"All good, could you just pull your head back a little so I can rinse your hair." Hermione said as she pulled a little on his hair and began washing the shampoo off his hair.
When she had done that, he turned her around and placed both her hands onto the tiles in front of her.
"Don't take your hands off the wall my beautiful wife and if you're patient enough, who knows what could happen." Severus whispered in her ear before nipping it lightly.
"I won't" Hermione said feeling the hot water cascade on her heating flesh.
He took some loofah in his hands and she shuddered when the colder lotion came into contact with her now burning flesh. He washed her body as if he was worshipping a goddess, making sure to wash every inch of flesh his hands could find. When he reached around and took her nipples in between his strong fingers, she slightly moaned at the sensation and her nipples grew rock hard.
When he had finished with them, he continued his way down her backside and when his fingers grazed her nether lips, he saw her push herself onto his fingers trying to alleviated the ache he knew was building up inside her.
"Hermione. Patience my love." Severus said as he placed his hand on her rounded belly to relax her.
After a few seconds, he heard Hermione's breath even out and he continued his way down her body making sure she was spotless clean. He took the shower handle in his hand and washed away the soap from Hermione's body. When his fingers came once again in contact with her clit, he felt her shudder as she tried her best not to arch into him. He smiled and flushed his skin with her.
His cock was now painfully swollen and grazed passed her entrance, which was wet with something else than water, and clit. She began to moan slowly at his back and forth motion trying all her best not to impale herself onto him.
"That's a good girl" he murmured into Hermione's ear "tell me Mrs. Snape. What do you want?" Severus said teasing her by nibbling on the lobe of her ear.
"Please, Severus" Hermione whimpered as her brain was short circuited by his actions.
"Please Severus what?
"Please Severus, fuck me, take me, make me come. I need you now my perfect husband" She said as quickly as she could.
This was Severus's undoing. In one swift movement, he guided his over-swollen cock to her entrance and entered her in one single strong push before stilling his movements completely to give her the time to accustom herself to him.
"Severus, please move. Move love. I need to feel you." Hermione bagged as she began fucking herself onto him.
A few thrusts later, they both came in mind blinding orgasms as they screamed each other's names into the night. Their screams resonating inside the shower stall. Severus slid out of her slowly and spun her around. He washed her once again before washing himself too. He had to hold her for the entire maneuver as Hermione's legs had trouble supporting her weight after the orgasm she had had.
Once he had finished washing the both of them, he switched the water off and summoned two large towels. One which he wrapped around him while he used the other to dry Hermione's still soaked body before she got too cold. When he was sure that the both of them were perfectly dry, he took her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
He laid her onto the bed and switched the candles off before joining her in bed and nuzzling into her. Breathing her sent and feeling himself at peace.
"Thank you, Severus. It was perfect." Hermione said looking at him with a bright smile on her face.
"It was my greatest pleasure love." Severus responded before kissing her softly. "I love you Hermione Jean Snape. With all my heart." He then declared. When he saw Hermione's stomach flutter under the repeated hit of his daughter, he placed his hand on her belly and leveled his face with her belly. "I love you too my sweet pea. Sleep well and, please, don't disturb your momma's sleep too much. She really needs to rest."
He placed a light kiss on her naked abdomen and went back up, placing his hand onto her belly he kissed her goodnight and they both fell asleep.
Hermione was awoken by a pair of lips on her own. She stirred a little and looked on her right. Severus was there a large smile on his face and looking at her with eyes filled with so much love, she could combust at the sight of him.
"Morning my love. Slept well?" Severus asked as he resumed kissing her.
"Slept wonderfully well my dear Severus. Little one seems to listen to you. She didn't wake me up during the all night." Hermione said to him showing how happy she was to have been able to have an uninterrupted night for once.
"Glad it worked. I hate saying that, but we have to get out of bed my dear. Even though I would love to stay with you in this bed for eternity. We have to get something into you and we have to go and get our schedules. Come, I'll help you out of bed." He said as he got out of the bed and turned around it before taking both of Hermione's hands and helping her out of bed.
They were both still naked and Severus quickly summoned their bathrobes from the wardrobe and helped Hermione into one so she would not get cold. When they had both took the clothes they will be needing from the large wardrobe, Hermione excused herself to the bathroom and changed herself into her uniform.
The white shirt and jumper hugged her curves perfectly and Hermione who had been scared that her uniform will show her pregnancy too much let a sight of relief when she saw that she looked actually pretty decent. She finished by pulling her skirt up and tying her tie before taking her robes and going back to the bedroom.
Severus had now again his usual all black teaching robes and billowing cape. When he saw her exit the bathroom, his face lit up and he took her in his arms, placing a light kiss on her forehead before leaving their quarters, Hermione's book bag flung over her shoulder.
"Ready love?" Severus asked before going up the stairs leading to the Great Hall.
"Ready. Have a wonderful day my perfect husband. I'll see you tonight after dinner." Hermione said before leaving him at the foot of the stairs and climbing the steps up to the Great Hall corridor.
When she entered the Great Hall, everyone looked at her and a deathly silent installed itself onto the room. Ginny stood up from the Gryffindor's table and lead Hermione to the seat next to her asking Romilda Vane to 'Please move over and go see Ron'. Hermione thanked Romilda who stood up and went towards Ron who was sitting at the end of the table sending death glare to Hermione and looked with disgust towards her belly.
"Ignore him. He's being a prat 'Mione" Ginny said as she caught the sight of Ron and how he looked at Hermione.
She turned her attention towards the table and began helping herself with the different food that was available. When she glanced at the Head Table and saw Severus sitting there and looking at her, she gave him a little smile which he responded to before taking his leave.
As she was about to finish her breakfast, when she heard the Scottish accent of Professor McGonagall.
"Mrs. Snape. I have got your schedule for this year's classes. I manage to arrange it accordingly to your future obligations. Have a nice beginning of term and do not hesitate if you have any questions at all." The transfiguration teacher told Hermione with a polite smile.
"Thank you, Professor." Hermione said taking the roll of parchment Professor and read through it. Severus had given her a copy of his own time schedule and she compared them thoroughly.

"Excuse me professor. But it seems that I have far more less hours of class than the other students. Is that normal?" Hermione asked as she saw Ginny's timetable much more filled than hers and she only took the minimal amount of N.E. , four.
"Mrs. Snape. I must admit that what the other students achieved in 4 hours, you managed to do it in 1. As the student normally have four hours of class divided into two chunks of two hours across the week. With your current situation, the teachers thought best for you to come to the first class of the week where they'll give you the work they had planned for the entire week. It will give you the opportunity to take care of you for the end of your pregnancy. And then of your baby." Professor McGonagall explained.
"Thanks a lot Professor. It means a lot to me that you have enough confidence in me to let me do this. I promise you I'll do my best to show you that you can place your trust in me Professor." Hermione thanked her Professor before, saying goodbye to the last few Gryffindor's present, picking up her bag and going towards the library.
Today was a Wednesday and she wanted to get a little ahead and begin learning the first chapters of each of the subjects she will have the next day. She looked at her timetable and saw she would have muggle studies and spell theory the next day. She opened her textbooks and began reading the introductions.
Many pupils omitted to look at those first few pages at the beginning of every book, but not her. She had found out since long that those first few pages often contained useful information and sometimes references to other books, she could read in addition to the manual to perfect her essays.
She had a piece of parchment laid next to her and her favorite quill was scratching frantically on the paper as she wrote the references to all the books the school manual referred to. When she had finished that, she began looking at the Arithmancy.
She learned the first chapter and began by doing every single exercise she could find about the subject in a book that had been recommended by the manual in the introduction of the manual. Once she was sure she could master the second-degree function and its derived forms, she did the same for Transfiguration.
The transfiguration was far easier as they were expected to know how to conjure up a little flock of birds above their heads and make them attack a subject of the wizard's liking. Hermione already knew how to do that, since her third year at Hogwarts. She practiced nevertheless and made sure to keep the little birds silent as not to disturb the other students in the library.
When she looked at the clock in front of her, it was already 12 p.m. and she went to the Great Hall, hoping to see Severus there and maybe have a little chat before going to see Poppy at the Infirmary for her seventh month examination.
She sat next to Harry, Ginny and Ron who had all came back from Potions. When she saw Ron, she couldn't retain the giggle that escaped her mouth. His skin was blue. A sky pale blue spotted with his usual red freckles.
"Watcha' laughin' at Granger" Ron spat at her
"I'm sorry Ron, but what happened to you?" Hermione said trying to regain a little of seriousness.
"Potions. We had to prepare a nolie potion and the antidote to it. Basically, a potion that makes the drinker's skin blue if he lied. The potion is effective for about 1 hour but the after effect, the blue skin, can stay up to 5 hours." Harry began.
"So, I must assume Ron lied at some point or another" Hermione said
"Yeah, well Ron and I had finished our Potions and he asked us to drink them to be sure they functioned. I had to drink his potion and he had to drink mine. For the antidote, we had to drink our own. The nolie worked for the both of us, but his antidote didn't really work as you can see. Sev… Professor Snape thought that Ron just had to endure the consequence of a badly made antidote." Harry explained to Hermione. "Oh, he also gave me this for you" Harry said as he gave a small piece folded parchment to Hermione.
My love,
How was your morning? Minerva gave me a copy of your timetable. It's wonderful that we don't have any classes in common. That way, I can take care of our daughter while you're in class and vice-versa. I see that you have your afternoon free, so I would like to take you to Hogsmeade to go shopping for a few furniture and for our little one. We have to buy the necessary for the homebirth and I think we won't really have the time once your class will have started.
Send me an owl with your response.
Yours for eternity
Severus Tobias Snape
"He's so sweet, he proposes to go with me to Hogsmeade to shop for the homebirth and some furniture for our quarters. Would you be free by any chance this afternoon Ginny?" Hermione asked excited at the prospect of spending some time with Severus and maybe Ginny.
"No, sorry. I have Divination with Trelawney until five. Bu go on. You'll tell me tonight. And if you could ask Severus for something for Ron? I'll appreciate." Ginny said looking at Ron.
"I'll ask Severus if he…"
Hermione began before freezing in the middle of her sentence as she heard the chilling sound of his voice.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"
