They walked through stored, buying some things here and there. Severus would banish the things back to their room were Hermione had put paper and tap. He had groaned when she had told him they had to wrap the gifts themselves but gave up when she reminded him of Christmas.
She dragged him into a jewelry store to look at necklaces for Ginny.
"Look at this," Hermione said wooing and aahing at the necklace. It was a simple heart with rubies all around it, saying #1 sister.
"She'll love it why don't' you talk to that man while I go look over here," he said kissing her cheek
"He looked over at the necklaces and rings.
"Lovely lady," the young lad said that was helping him.
"Yes, I'm looking for a necklace and a ring not for an engagement but a promise to do it sooner or later you know," the man said. The boy nodded, and reached behind the counter to bring out a box.
Lifting the lid he couldn't' believe it they were beautiful.
Beautiful emeralds glittered up off the necklace, and the ring had a simple green stone.
"I'll get it but can I get something engraved on the inside of the ring.
"Yah sure what do you want," the lad said holding up his wand.
Across the store, she quickly got the necklace taken care of and was checking out a watch that would be perfect for him.
"I want this to but I need to buy it secretly so the bloody buffoon doesn't' see," she said to the lady, she just smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry couple come in all the time to buy things together and secretly get things for each other," the woman said smiling at her.
"Can I get it engraved with something though and a card if you have one, that's very special," she said blushing.
"No problem here's a very romantic card and what do you want engraved on the back," she asked bringing out her wand.
Everything would be delivered Christmas night by their currier owl, except for Ginny's necklace, which she took with her.
"Want to get something to drink," he asked wrapping his arm around her shoulder and steering her to the Three Broomsticks.
Sitting at a booth, they both got butterbeers and sat talking.
"This Christmas is going to be better than the rest don't you think," Hermione said.
"Yah how are the potions coming?" he asked.
"I've made 20 galleons and I still have about a hundred potions to do," she said cockily.
"Good for you, we should head back if we ever want to be done all that wrapping," he sneered as he paid for their drinks and headed back to the school, smiling.
They stayed up late it was Saturday and they were entitled to, as they sat in his sitting room wrapping paper everywhere.
Looking at her perfectly wrapped parcel, she glanced at Severus's.
She started laughing; the paper was ripped and plastered everywhere, the tap coving almost the whole thing.
"Stop laughing," shoving a piece of tape over her mouth didn't stop the loud laughter that wouldn't' stop.
"Your terrible you know that its okay that's for Harry anyway," Hermione said.
He wondered what the magazines were for that he wrapped covered with women naked.
It felt like they wrapped for hours.
Sitting on the bed, Hermione grabbed his hands and kissed his palms.
"Do they feel better now," she said, he just looked at her weird.
"Your amazing," he said to her grabbing her behind the neck and pulling her to him.
"I know just one of the benefits," she said teasingly as she playfully bit his bottom lip. Looking into his cool black eyes, she found home one she'd missed for so long.
"You're marching in dangerous territory," he warned.
"Oh really what ya gonna do if I go farther," she said rubbing his chest as she straddled him. Shocking eyes at her advances, he'd never known her to be so forward usually it was he who put the moves on her.
"I guess I'll just have to dunk you in the snow," he said playfully.
"There's no snow in here," she said resting her head against his chest, listening as she always did for the beat of his heart.
"I guess we'll just have to imagine the snow then," he said, her feather like weight resting on his chest. Her hair brushing his face, it tickled but made no move to brush it away scared to disturb her and make her move.
He laid like that for what felt like hours. HE had noticed she had fallen asleep a while ago and was scared to move her.
Restlessly she moved and flicked her eyes open to look at him.
"Did I fall asleep," she asked and she nodded.
Getting up from her position left the warmth that had once been on his chest ice cold and lonely.
"We have to leave tomorrow for head quarters," he told her one morning as they ate breakfast together; she nodded, heading to their room to pack some clothes.
Making sure he was in the kitchen she pulled out the little something she had bought in Hogsmeade, placed it in her trunk it was a present just for Snape, and she knew he would enjoy it no matter what. Nevertheless, you'll find out on the next chapter or the one after.
