Disclaimer: I am not the illustrious J.K. Rowling. If I were she, I would not be writing fan fiction. I make no money from this.

A/N: This is written for The "365 Days of Drabbles" Challenge on HPFC. This is a challenge to write a drabble or one shot a day for 365 days. Each day will have a prompt that is to be used that day. Most of these will revolve around Sevmione. If you don't like the pairing, don't read. They won't be in any particular order. The prompt for day 303: Birthday.

This is also written for The Game of LIFE Challenge on HPFC. The prompt I got was "birthday."

Warning: There is some slight M rated material ahead. No lemons, but there is one swear word and some talk of what Severus wants to give Hermione for her birthday.

Birthday

Hermione was standing in front of the wardrobe in her room in Snape's quarters. As his apprentice, she got to say in his quarters due to the sensitive nature of some of the potions she would be brewing. At least, that was the excuse they used. In actuality, they just wanted a reason for her to stay there so they could continue their relationship.

It was her twentieth birthday and Severus was taking her out to celebrate. He assured her it was perfectly acceptable for a Master to take his Apprentice out on special occasions. He had told her to dress for dinner. There was a new restaurant opening in Hogsmead that evening and Severus had managed to get them a table for the evening.

She put on the new dress robes Harry had sent her for her birthday. She thought that maybe Severus had asked Harry to send them for this occasion. They were lavender robes that looked more like a Muggle dress than Witch's robes. They hugged her curves in all the right places and the color made her brown eyes look brighter.

She had put on minimal make-up. She wasn't the best at girly things like that and Severus had told her he liked a natural look best. She did tame her hair. She pulled back the pieces of hair framing her face to come together at the crown of her head and secured them with a clip. She left the rest of her hair to flow down her back in riotous curls.

Severus was pacing in his sitting room. He was getting impatient. Thank Merlin he had told her their reservation was for six. It was actually for seven. It seemed the only thing she was ever early to was classes and study sessions. Everything else was simply not important enough to be on time for.

Finally he heard her door open and he stopped his pacing to look at her. He stared for a moment, speechless at the beauty before him.

She looked at Severus and he took her breath away. He was in black dress robes and had his long hair tied back with a black thong at the nape of his neck. Her mouth watered for a taste of him.

He stalked over to her with hunger in his gaze. He wrapped his arms around her waist while her arms snaked around his neck. His lips devoured hers as he kissed her. She responded in kind and when her tongue traced the seam of his lips for entrance he eagerly granted it. Their tongues tangled together battling for dominance.

His lips left hers to travel down the column of her throat. She was panting slightly from the kiss when she said, "Severus, we're already late for our reservation. We need to stop this so we don't miss dinner entirely."

He chuckled and the sound vibrated in her chest. "We have time, love. I told you the reservation was for seven."

Hermione pushed him away slightly and said, "No, you told me six."

She watched his eyes and saw the amusement dancing in the black depths before she gasped. "You deliberately told me an earlier time!"

She turned to head back to her room when she felt his arms wrap around her waist and she was pulled against his lean chest. She weakly struggled against his hold. She quit struggling when she felt his warm breath on her ear.

"I thought we should be on time tonight so we could go public as a couple and not just as Master and Apprentice."

Hermione quickly turned in Severus' arms and, before he could react, she pulled his head down for a fierce kiss. "Really, Severus? That's the best gift you could ever give me."

Severus grinned wickedly at his young lover and said, "And when we get back, I'm going to slowly peel those dress robes off of you and fuck you until we are both unable to walk."

A shiver of pleasure traveled down Hermione's spine. She let go of Severus and started walking toward the door of their chambers. "The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get back," she said. "Come on Severus. Let's shock the entire Wizarding world."
