There was no one. The room was just as he remembered it. Hearing the shower running he stood there in the middle of the room looking around. There were tissues in the garbage, and the smell of lilacs wafted to him from the shower her scent the one that had plagued him since he had left.
He didn't' hear the water stop but was ripped from his thoughts when he saw her walk into the room.
Looking up she screamed, then ran to him not caring that the towel was barely covering her ran and leapt into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist.
"You came back," she said hugging him kissing his neck. All the pent up lust she had felt came flooding into her.
His libido kicked in when he saw her in the excuse for a towel clothes she had gotten even lovelier, fit and so beautiful. He was shocked when she leapt at him.
Hugging her back kissing her with all his might.
"I was so scared you weren't going to come back," she said clutching his chest.
"Of course I would come back," he said kissing her with needed lust built up for days for her and just for her.
They lay on her bed hours later talking, after she had changed.
"So no scraps and bruises your unharmed," she said looking at them.
Lying on their sides peering into each others eyes was a picture for heaven it was beautiful.
"Nope just as long as I filtered him enough bullshit to keep him happy," he said pushing away a stray lock of hair cupping her face. She was even more beautiful but the hints of bags under her eyes were evident.
"I missed you so much," breathed against his lips as he captured hers in a drugging kiss, leaving her powerless.
Her shirt was quickly removed and his clothes just her pants were left when a loud knock came. Growling fiercely he got up, shoved on his clothes, and went to go see whom it was. Swinging the door open, Dumbeldore stood their looking at him on the verge of laughing.
"Old man you better have a good excuse for disturbing me," he said through gritted teeth.
"I do better get Ms. Granger down here in proper attire it seems that the ministry is trying to hoodwink us yet again," Dumbeldore said after him as he ran up the stairs.
"Get clothes on Dumbeldores here he wants to talk to us about the ministry," Snape said, as he threw her clothes at her. Shoving them on in haste, she put her hair in a quick and messy ponytail and went downstairs.
Her dorm was full of people her friends and most of the teachers.
Everyone looked at her as she came down; now wishing she had taken more time to prepare herself from their piercing eyes she sat down beside Snape.
"It seems that the Ministry is trying something, we don't' know what but they just granted Lucius Malfoy permission to visit his son whenever he wishes," Dumbeldore said looking at Snape, the look warned of something she looked at the two.
"I can share some light on it, they think that Hermione is the pillar holding the group together and without her their useless, Lucius Malfoy is assigned to weaken her or…" he said not wanting to say it but looking into her eyes he spoke again," break her."
Color draining from her face, she clutched her heart, she felt her world sway at his words.
"We must try and keep a close eye on her and not leave her alone for one second with him," Snape said," Hermione are you all right?"
Anger boiled and everyone saw it as she stood ignoring her buckling knees.
"Oh yah sure other than the fact that men are trying to plan my rape, just because I'm friends with Harry," she said, sitting again tears spilled forward and a sob broke forward," I just want to lead a normal life, I don't' want to do this, I don't want to have to worry about someone trying to hurt me everyday of my life."
"You won't have to if we finally beat them," Snape said hunching down to grab her hands and hold them, looking at him she smiled.
"I'm better now, just had to blow off some steam," she said, he sat down but didn't' let go of her hand.
"He arrived tonight and is staying in the north wing not far from where she is, she needs a place to stay, some were safe, and to be escorted to classes," Dumbeldore said," I believe the best person for this is Snape, he knows how to live with her and would rather die then let him touch her."
"Never," Harry yelled.
"Harry, she needs to be somewhere safe, trust him he won't hurt her," Sirius said speaking up, everyone turned to look at him shocked.
"Thank you Sirius," Severus said smiling at the man, they exchanged smiles then went back to the cold front.
"Everyone back to your rooms, Sirius, Moody Tonks help Hermione pack some things and move her down to the dungeons, then to bed with the lot of you," Dumbeldore said shoving everyone else out.
"I'll come help you dear to pack," Tonks said, giving the younger girl a wink.
As soon as the door shut, Tonks was ready to talk.
"Oh my god Hermione, you and Severus,' she said and Hermione just blushed as she started grabbing clothes from her dresser and wardrobe and shoved them in her trunk, minimizing them.
A couple minutes later, the boys stopped talking as the two came back down the trunk minimized with an easy spell and put in Hormone's pocket. The girls were chatting up a storm.
"Ready," Lupin said smiling down at the girl that was like a daughter to him.
"Yah," she said smiling.
Opening the portrait, Hermione stopped dead looking at Snape.
"What is it?" Sirius asked.
"He's here," she whispered, she didn't know how but she sensed his dark presence.
"Where?" Severus asked.
"I don't know I just feel him," she said trembling.
"All right keep close keep her between us," Lupin said as they started walking, the dark presence watched them pass and sneered.
She was protected and out of his reach, his master would not be happy about his at all.
But hours later as Severus looked down at her sleeping in his bed her clothes and everything put away he smiled.
She was safe for now, and with that, he stripped and lay down, pulling her to him. Wishing the morning never came, because it was moments like this he wished he could live in forever.
Today I got sick so I stayed home and wrote the rest of this chapter. I really like it but I don't really know how I should end it.
Well hope you like it and don't be afraid to review.
