Sorry it took so long to update, but I asked my English Teacher to check the story for grammar-mistakes. He liked my story that much that he gave it back after three weeks :D

-----------------------------

It was silent in the small cottage, that held her prisoned. Severus had left her short after his confessions of his feelings for her.

Now Minerva had time to think about things. She particularly wondered how long he feelled this way. Suddenly she remembered a day years ago.

It was Valentine's day and when she entered her study, she found a huge bouqeut of red roses. On a little card she found between them said: 'Nice Valentine.' She always wondered who had send it to her. Was it Severus who had send her that flowers?

And then there was her birthday, three years later…

She did get many presents, like always, but this time too she did get something from someone anonymous. When she opened the box beneath the red and gold paper, she found a beautiful dressing gown with a Scottish check on it. She weared it ever since.

Were all those things of Severus?

"They are." Severus stood in the doorway and had used Legilimency to see what she thought.

"Why didn't you tell back then?"Minerva looked into his eyes. He was coming closer and looked at her.

"I don't know really." He stood against her and leaned his forehead against hers. He looked her deep in her eyes. Black into green. Suddenly he let her go and murmured: "It's already midnight. I will let you sleep now."

He left the room and Minerva could hear how he laid down in the bed in the other room.

That night it was very cold and Minerva, who just did wore a thin night gown, shivered. She could just see the thermometer at the other side of the room. It was only 7 degrees! She shivered again and clenched her teeth in an useless try to stop the clattering of them.

Suddenly the door flew open and Severus walked through the room to her. He looked at her and flicked his wand. Minerva's legs, totally surprised by the sudden weight, collapsed beneath her. Severus caught her up and lead her into the other room. He shove her on the bed.

Minerva was shocked by the way he treated her. He flicked his wand and she was chained with her hands to the headbord of the large fourposter. He smiled and laid himself next to her.

"I hope you don't mind if you must sleep in my bed? But your teeth clattered so loud I couldn't stand it anymore." He pulled the blanket up and lay it over them. He ordered some pillows behind her head and kissed her. "Maybe I'm liying; I just can't be without you anymore." He tenderly stroked her belly with one hand while he slowly glided the other between the buttons into her nightgown.

"Severus…" She whispered his name, while his hand now played with her nipple.His other hand opened the buttons and started to play with her other nipple. She felt the well-known tingle between her legs as he kissed her again. He pulled his clothes of.

"Severus!"Her voice was much louder now. He smirked at her and kept looking at her while he took her left nipple into his mouth. He smiled as he saw how the sensations of his little playing shoot through her body.
