A/N thanks to Irritable-Grizzly69, and Dream-gone-wrong for reviewing, and keeping my motivation up.

Chapter 13

Snape lay in bed as he looked over at his clock it read 5:45 a.m. He should not be awake this early, nor did he enjoy it.

"It's no wonder they execute people at dawn. Who wants to be alive at six in the damn morning?" he asked himself out loud.

"I don't know," replied a rather annoyed voice. Snape nearly fell out of his bed from fright. He had not expected anyone to answer him, let alone be in his bed with him.

"What are you doing here?" Snape snapped, getting up from his bed.

"Must have fallen asleep," Hermione replied as she whipped the sleep from her eyes. Her eyes, how Snape loved those eyes, they always sparkled so brilliantly, but they were even more brilliant in the morning.

"Yes well we cannot allow that, you know that, if we get caught we could both get kick out of Hogwarts." Snape said franticly.

"Yea I know," Hermione replied, obviously not as distraught as her boyfriend. She rolled over and pulled the covers up to her chin.

"Of no you don't," Snape said "you cannot be found in here, you have to go."

"But I don't want to," Hermione said with her back still to Snape.

"Well too bad, you can't always get what you want. Now Up!" Snape said making frantic up motions with his hands. Hermione rolled back over in time to see him do this.

"Are you always crazy in the morning, or is this a recent development?" Hermione asked from her place in the bed.

"I am not crazy I am cautious," He said as he made to grab for her to pull her from the bed, but instead she grabbed his arm and pulled him into the bed with her. "What are you doing?"

"I intend to spend Sunday morning lying in bed with my boyfriend," She replied kissing him. "Now please do not make it difficult."

"If you get found in here then…well you know what will happen" Snape said trying to put up an argument even though he very much wanted to stay there with her in his arms all day.

"Yes, I do know what will happen and I also know that it is six o'clock on Sunday, no one is awake yet, so calm down" Hermione said then kissed him again, this time with more passion, "Please."

Snape had no other choice but to give in, so he pulled the blankets up over him and put his arms around Hermione's waist and pulled her closer to him and kissed her again.

Draco had just awoken in his own bed, which was still an odd sensation to him, and rolled over to see Zandra's sleeping face mere inches from his. He loved this, he kissed her forehead gently. They had not gotten much past kissing in their short time together, but it did not bother him. Draco caressed her bare shoulder, and watched her eyes move back and forth behind her closed lids. Dreaming my darling, how beautiful you are. Draco began to sing quietly.

"Your lips, your skin, your eyes, your hair,

You don't need no touching up. I don't really care

For anything that covers up your beauty

'Cause what God gave you, gorgeous girl, is what will suit me.

And no diamond rings, necklaces and bangles.

Don't look twice in the mirror, girl,

You're great from all angles.

And when the angels take me from this world that I was born in,

I'll say, "None of you look half as good as my girlfriend in the morning."

And when angels come to take me from this world

I'll say, "None of you look half as good as my girl."

So wake up my sweetness, you know that it's true,

Make-up was designed for other girls to try and look like you.

For my gorgeous, my words no longer cautious,

You're like a bottomless pit, completely flawless.

So watch me free falling head over heart.

Without doubt, the most beautiful piece of art.

So when my days are through,

I can say it was all for you."

Zandra opened her eyes slowly and looked at Draco, "Where you talking to me?"

"No," Draco said "I was singing to you." He finished sweetly.

"Ok let's hear it." Zandra said.

"Nope, you missed it I'm sorry." Draco said with a shrug.

"Oh please," Zandra said with a perfect pout that made Draco's heart melt.

"Ok fine," Draco said in mock exasperation.

"And I wish I knew everything there is to know about you.
And I want you to see just exactly what you mean to me.
And you - you think you know me.
I guarantee there's a lot more to see.
And you - you don't believe it's true -
That if I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of you.

And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could drive you in my car
to kiss you under stars.

And I want you to be, everything that you deserve to be.
And if I close my eyes, then I can see you perfectly.
And I - I don't know where to go.
I wrote a song just to let you know
that we - we could be together.
I'll hold you forever.

And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
I wish that I could drive you in my car
to kiss you under stars.

And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could feel your touch,
I think about you so much."

Draco finished "I hope you are pleased with yourself, getting me to sing for you"

"Don't worry I am," Zandra said to him.

"Good, because it's true I love you, with all my heart, I want nothing more then to be with you, to wake up next to you every morning, to smell the sweetness of your skin, and feel the touch of your lips on mine, to feel your heartbeat as I hold you close, to feel the rush of your breath against my neck, I want to call you mine."

"Hermione" Snape said quietly.

"Hmmm?" Hermione replied.

"Why do you love me?" Snape asked his partner who lay in bed next to him.

"Why do you ask?" Hermione said as she rolled over to meet Snape's gaze.

"Many reasons" He replied.

"Give me some," Hermione replied now beginning to worry.

"Just tell me why you love me, please," Snape said.

"Well for starters, you make me happy, you make me feel loved, you don't judge, you are mature, and you respect me." Hermione said, she had many more reasons but did not list them all.

"Yes, yes but why me of all people, why did you not fall for Draco? You two spent a reasonable amount of time together, you have a decent number of things in common, and he is your age, so why not him?" Snape asked.

"Why are you so worried?"

"Because…... never mind let's just forget it." Snape said then rolled over facing away from Hermione because he did not want her to see the tears forming in his eyes.

Hermione placed her arm around him and pressed up against him; she lifted her head up and rested it on his shoulder. "I love you Severus, I love you because of who you are, I don't care about what other people thing about us and least of all do I care about our age. Don't forget that," She said then placed a kiss on his neck.

Snape took her hand in his and squeezed it. "I love you too Hermione but things are not going to be that easy."

"I never said it would be" Hermione replied. "It is going to be hard, we are going to have to fight for our love and put up with whatever it is people have to say, but we will stick together. I won't leave you Severus, I love you too much."

Snape felt like a huge load had been lifted from his shoulders at her words. He had been scared that when times got tough she would leave him; he could not stand to end up alone again. Tears began to run down his cheeks, and he did not trust himself to speak so he just nodded.

"You can not be afraid Severus, I love and will not leave you, and I want you to be able to tell me when you are scared and tell me what is bothering you, we are going to make it." Hermione said then kissed his cheek, she felt wetness from his tears there. She got up and walked around the bed and knelt on the floor in front of him, she kissed him.

"I love you Severus, and don't you ever forget that."

Snape sat up and took her in his arms; he kissed her and then nodded once more.

"I love you too, but we have much more to face, together."
