Chapter 11

He tailed her as she walked threw the hallways. Looking lost and alone, a stray child caught in the cross fire she just needed someone to show her that she was loved. He watched the feminine way her hips swayed, how she was a woman just waiting to be uncovered.

That burst of anger was amazing he'd never seen such anger but so much power. Her brown curls hung down her back and swayed as she walked.

Then she heard his footfall behind her, turned, and looked at him, her eyes wide in shock, tears were evident in them.

He felt the silent tremble in his body as she looked at him. Walking towards his, she stopped and hugged him. A real hug around his chest, that filled him with warmth spreading from his head to his toes.

Totally caught by surprise it took him awhile to pull his arms around her and hug her closer. All the anger ever passed between them was gone and only feelings to deep or weird to understand took over. He didn't break the hug because she needed someone to hold on to and in a way so did he.

"I don't know what came over me," she said breaking apart a little to look up into his dark black eyes he just smirked, she loved that smirk the way it always seemed to go to his eyes. His eyes weren't really black more a very dark mysterious brown. From afar they looked so black but seeing them this closer they actually weren't.

"I did, you were pissed and had every reason to be mad, and may I say I am proud of you," he said kissing her cheek; he could feel the blush heat her cheeks and drew away admiring the pink color in her cheeks.

"Thank you, forty five minutes and I have to be out there, Lucius isn't a man to be trusted I think, he's sneaky and evil," she said groaning, placing her head on his chest listening to the steady beat of the power in him.

"I'll be there beside you I already talked to Dumbeldore, I am going to stand beside you as he tests you," he said and he felt her tug him closer.

They heard someone clear their throat and they broke apart to see Albus standing there. Embarrassment hit her while Severus stood looking angry.

"Professor," Hermione said blushing a deep crimson.

"Its quite all right sweetheart, I just came to say good luck and to remember that you aren't alone you have people here that would step in any day to help you, and don't stop fighting," the man said smiling down at her she smiled. It was as if she was being given permission to unleash everything she had on him and anyone else that dare take her on.

"I promise," she said smiling, she loved those words that came from her professors mouths of encouragement, and love in a way.

"All right I must get outside and prepare a few things," he said and with a flick of his robes, he was gone. She stared after him; her whole world felt like it was crumpling down upon her fast with no escape.

Nevertheless, this one man was keeping the walls from caving bracing her to face the world. What would she do when he left, what would be left in her life. Never before had she felt such need to love and cherish a man so much, with her life.

She wanted so desperately for the war to be over for everyone to stop living in fear, and most of all so she could be with him. Would he have her? Would the killing ever stop even if Voldermort died, would the hatred dissipate from the world and maybe just maybe let everyone live in peace. She wanted so desperately to scream her love for him, tell him everyday when they were together she wanted his child growing in her womb his hands stroking her stomach were the life grew.

"Wow Hermione getting a little ahead aren't we, just get through today and then we'll think about that stuff," she thought to herself blushing at her thoughts, her dreams. She wanted him and she was sure he wanted her as well, everything would come in time, but she felt like this was the one man she could trust. Mind body and soul.

"What are you thinking?" he asked she jerked her head up to look at him blushing. She bit her bottom lip to find an excuse and came up with an old fashioned one.

"Just things, thank you," she said looking up at him, her cool black eyes sweeping her features drinking in every flicker of emotion. He was in love with her. The feel to protect her welled deep in his chest to keep her from any harm to keep her to himself.

Time stopped, as if just for them. It was as if he had been gifted with more time so he would be able to spend it with her and for some reason he didn't really mind.

Everything was drawn to this moment. She felt her heart slow, as she looked up at him his strong arms once again, around her tugging her close.

Slowly his head tilted down grabbing her mouth in a drugging kiss that sent her knees to water. Her hands clutching at his chest the ripple of muscles as she clung to her pillar.

His skilled tongue ravaged her mouth, leaving no survivors.

Reacting to his need, a force so great the feel of exploding filled her. The feel of his hand on the base of her spine pulling her even closer than imaginable.

Finally breaking apart, he looked into her eyes misted and beautiful he put a chaste kiss on her lips. If he kept doing this with her he would have her on her back on the floor anywhere, he could get her if they didn't stop now.

"I'm scared," though barely a whisper he heard it.

"I know do your best you're the smartest witch to ever pass threw these gates your going to blow them away besides," he said putting her arm around her shoulders and started walking towards the grounds," I'll be there to make sure your safe."

"Promise," she said holding his hand, against her shoulder.

"Promise," he said kissing her deeply before they broke apart.

The cool wind slapping her cheek like a whip as they walked down the steps to be Lucius was standing mockingly, her parents on the sidelines, and the mans eyes on her.

Anger filled his as he watched as the rich cocky businessman's eyes roam over her, no his woman. There was no way she was going to leave him not know and not later, only when he said so would she be allowed to go and even then she wouldn't want to.
