Cherry Blossom and a summer's eve

Chapter 8

Severus arrived outside the leaky caldron, before leaving he had changed into muggle clothes, he walked through the leaky cauldron and out into muggle London. He walked on and came across a small muggle pub, 'The Lions' he entered and took a seat at the bar.

"What can I get ya love." Asked the bar maid,

"Something very strong don't care what!" he sighed, she passed him a glass with a clear liquid in,

"That'll be £1 please." Severus dug into his pocket and pulled out a ten pound note.

"Sorry I don't have anything smaller."

"That's ok love"

"Thanks." He sighed downing the drink…he took the change and looked at it, "can I have two more?" he said indicating the empty glass, and putting the money on the side for her. After drink those he got up to leave, but froze as Lucius Malfoy walked in, "What are you doing here?" he asked not to pleased to see the man.

"Looking for you" he smiled, this sent shivers up Severus spine, "My lord is not pleased Severus…you stole his whore!"

"FUCK YOU!"

"WHERE IS SHE?"

"LIKE I WOULD TELL YOU WHERE SHE IS!"

"FUCKING TELL ME NOW YOU BASTARD!"

"DROP DEAD!" Severus snared

"If you don't tell me where she is that is what you'll be doing…" Luscious laughed bitterly. Severus looked at Luscious, his heart pounding in his chest, he looked around people had begun to stair…Severus pushed past Luscious,

"We'll find her Severus!" and he walked in the other direction, Severus rushed home…banging the bedroom door open and finding Hermione as he had left her, he let out a shaky breath and walked towards her,

"Severus?" she said sleepily,

"Yah it's me my darling, go back to sleep…" he whispered kissing her neck and curling up to her she wrapped her arms around him, with this he loosened up.

"Now it is my turn to protect you my love." She smiled kissing his temple.

Severus awoke first the next morning in Hermione's arms; He smiled leaning to kiss her gently,

"Mmm" she sighed,

"Now you are my true sleeping beauty." He smiled deepening the kiss, when the separated for air, she smiled gently running her fingers over his cheek bones,

"Morning" she smiled,

"I think that I can get use to this!" He smiled gently pushing her unruly hair out of her face,

"I most defiantly can," She giggled,

"Good," he smiled kissing her neck and making his way down her collarbone, she arched her back at his touch.

"Severus, we need to talk…" she managed to gasp out.

"Must we?" he grinned…

"Severus I'm serious," she said with pleading eyes,

"Ok my angel," he whispered seeing the worry in her eyes.

"I'm late…" she whispered,

"Late?" he said not understanding,

"Severus…I'm late, I think I may be pregnant!" she said losing her temper; Severus froze his eyes wide and filled with fear. "Severus pleas say something" she pleaded her eyes welling up with tears…
"I…I don't know what to say…" he finally said after a few moments. Hermione finally let the tears fall,

"What?" she pulled away from his grip and getting of the bed grabbing her wand and running to the bathroom, slamming the bathroom door on him,

"Lock" She whispered pointing her wand at the door, locking it. She leant against the door and slid down, pulling her knees closer wrapping her arms around herself. 'How can he do this…how can he make me feel like I've done something wrong' she sobbed.

'I'm such an idiot how could I do that to here I love her so much. How could I just say…I don't know…ARRR" he let out a scream and fell to the floor tears began to fall…he stayed on the floor for a few minutes, then got up walking to the bathroom door he turned the handle…but it jammed,

"Herm…Hermione?" he whispered, there was no reply, "Hunny I'm sorry, angel pleas…" Tears began to fall down his cheeks, still there was no reply, Severus walked back to the bed and sat down his head in his hands…he waited almost an hour before grabbing his wand and walking to the door,

"ALOHOMARA" he yelled the door unlocked, he reached for the door handle and pushed the door gently, "Herm… Hermione please answer me love I'm sorry so very sorry." He whispered taking another step into the bathroom to find Hermione curled up on the floor asleep…he lent down and gently picked her up, she sutured a little but didn't awake.
