This Chapter has alot of speaking so its on the short side but it is a really pivitol chapter if you ask me. And definatly one of the last chapters of the story. The next one will very possibly be the last. I do not own the charaters.
Chapter 16
What a Detention
"So Severus, that was good for me. Was it good for you?" Hermione whispered to her love as she nestled against his bare chest.
"Perfect, Dear, it was perfect," Severus murmured into Hermione's loose curls.
"I'm glad." Hermione snuggled closer and began to fall asleep, but just before that sleep claimed her Severus began to kiss up her shoulder and was on her neck when she giggled and asked, "Severus, it's late. We just spent most if not all of our combined magical and physical energy. Why in the name of Merlin are you starting back up with foreplay?"
"Because, I have a question to ask you and obviously I cant ask you this question if you are asleep. After all, I would like an audible answer instead of a murmur or silence from my sleeping lover," Severus replied in a whisper.
Hermione rolled over in the bed so that she was now facing Severus and looking into his eyes that held the secrets of his dark past. "Ask me anything, Severus. Anything."
"Anything?" Severus asked. The mere idea almost daunting to him, he got off of the bed and grabbed his dressing robe wrapping it around him and tying it. He walked over to the desk and grabbed a small crimson box from within the top drawer then he walked back to Hermione, who was now sitting on the edge of the bed covering her self in the dark green bed spread. Severus got down on one knee and grabbed one of Hermione's hands and said, "Now, I am not going to be terribly upset if you need time to think about this or if you even say no. But, know that if you say yes you will make me eternally happy and in return I shall do the same for you, Hermione."
"Severus, what are you talking about?"
Severus Snape reached into his robe's pocket and took out the little crimson box. Opening it to reveal a beautiful sapphire surrounded my tiny little diamonds and set into a platinum band, he said, "Hermione Jane Granger, will you do me the honor of marring me?"
Hermione looked deep into his eyes to try to decipher the look that she was receiving from him. All she saw was love and sincerity. "Yes Severus, I'll marry you."
He got up off of his knees and slipped the ring onto her finger while he kissed her. "Hermione, you just have made me the happiest wizard in the world. I love you."
"I love you too. Wow, what a detention!" Hermione giggled and Severus reclaimed his new fiancé's lips.
AN: I got the idea of how Snape proposes to Hermione from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" its not exactly the same but it does take place in bed and that was how I planned this so I credit Snape's proposal technique from the great movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"!!!
