Chapter 17

Grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around herself, snuggly so it wouldn't' come loose. Stepping from the bathroom, she saw him laying back against the bed smiling at something.

Thinking to herself, "men are weird creatures."

Creeping silently, she threw herself on the bed at him.

"Hey, you smell good," he said smelling his bath oils on her.

"I know don't I, I borrowed them from a dorky professor who looks like a bat," she said teasingly.

"A bat really," he said flipping her over, realizing she was completely naked under the towel he tried to keep his head straight.

"We have to get downstairs," she said looking up at him, looking down at her with such passion she wanted to rip the towel off and say the hell with waiting, but that wasn't her or at least not yet.

He had a quick shower as she changed and shoved her other clothes in a pile in his room. He headed down the stairs first, five minutes later, she followed. Heads turned to look at her as she walked into the kitchen. Nervousness crept into her as everyone was giving her weird looks.

Sitting down she accepted the pancakes that Mrs. Weasley placed on her plate. Being careful as to not look at Severus she ate silently.

"You guys go play some quittitch I want to hang out with Hermione," Ginny said kissing Harry quick before coming to sit beside Hermione," come on lets go to our room."

"No that's gross come to the other room," she said as they walked up the stairs. Upon walking Ginny gasped at the bed, it was a mess.

"Hermione," she said smiling.

"No we didn't, I wasn't ready, he was so sweet about it oh my god I love him so much," Hermione said sighing as she lay on the bed, Ginny sat beside her.

"I'm happy for you Mione," Ginny said nudging her.

"You to, you and Harry look so happy together," Hermione said and Ginny smiled.

"I'm just scared Hermione, I mean Voldermorts going to come after us, he's going to rip him away from me," Ginny stated muffling a sob. Hermione was there in an instant hugging her.

"No your wrong I will do my best to keep him here with you, I promise," Hermione said, as her friends tears disappeared," now lets not think about that and go outside and watch the boys and compare them."

Outside they sat there in lawn chairs and watched as the guys played Severus was the leader of the skins team, and Hermione couldn't' keep her eyes off of him, neither could most of the guys to learn that their professor was packing that.

Hermione wondered though what ever happened before when he was older why he let himself go. She wasn't pig headed she always had a crush on him since her first year even at the beginning of this year she didn't care that he was old enough to be her father, he was perfect that way he was.

Hermione couldn't see it, the mark that once darkened his arm and everything about him. She thanked Dumbeldore for that, giving him back his freedom.

They cheered like crazy whey the boys won and caught the snitch.

Nevertheless, everything was cut short when they heard Mrs. Weasley yell at them to come immediately.

They all raced inside, to see Dumbeldore and Minerva standing there frowning.

"We have some bad news, it seems like Lucius is cooking something up, and is trying to contact you Severus," Dumbeldore stated, Hermione gasped no he couldn't do this.

"We need you to meet with him, for last times sake then were done, just to get some more information from him," Dumbeldore assured.

In a second Hermione got a bad feeling, a bad feeling. Bad things were going to happen

"No," Hermione said, standing between them," you can't do that."

"Hermione its all right I'll be okay," he assured her, coming forward to grab her arm.

"No you don't understand something bad is going to happen I can feel it," she said tears coming to her eyes as she looked at him.

"What things when," he asked.

"Just after Dumbeldore said it I got this cold feeling, like everything was going to fall, crumple," she said tears fighting to be released but were kept in check.

"Dumbeldore we need to talk I leave tonight," Severus said, Hermione just looked at him, how could he agree to go when she had just told him not to.

He left her there standing shocked. He was still going to go even after she felt that, he wouldn't. She couldn't loose him not know not ever.

"No kids," Dumbeldore said as he locked the door to the meeting room. Hermione sagged into the chair in the kitchen everyone was looking at her.

"Hermione what's wrong," Harry asked.

"Voldermorts going to be there, don't ask my how I know I know I just get that weird feeling," she said putting her head in her hands," It was so creepy, so weird."

"You love him don't you," Harry said bending down to pull her chin up.

"Yes, but I don't think he realizes it he's so funny, so amazing," she said rambling on," Please don't be mad at me."

"I'm not that's for sure," Ginny said laughing, the others just nodded even Ron who was a little pissed but right now wasn't the time to fight it.

In the meeting room, they watched with a spell the interaction between the kids.

"Harry stay with Ginny no matter what don't let her out of your sight," Hermione said hugging him," she needs you."

"I promise, but what about you," Harry said," I mean they have their sights on you."

"But I won't let them get me, I know if I ask Moody will train me he is the best," Hermione said. Moody smiled around at everyone gloating, he nodded.

"We will all train with you," Harry said, everyone nodding.

"Harry, yes but the rest no, I won't let you fight this I don't think I would forive myself if anything happened to you, to see Mrs. Weasley crying I won't let it," Hermione said, command in her voice," you guys are all I have left of a family and I want to keep this family together even if it means fighting with that old man in there to let me."

"Severus leave tonight stay away for a week or so, don't worry your classes will be covered, don't worry about her she will be protected," Dumbeldore said reassuringly. Severus nodded remembering her commanding words she would fight and ever will in his body were going to stop her and protect her.

I was scared about the little scene I had to write in the last chapter I was scared everyone would hate it. On the other hand, my first one I think its okay and don't worry there's more to come.
