.I own nothing.

That evening, Albus and Eileen stayed for dinner, more or less to distract Abby, so Severus could have some time with Hermione. After they departed for their home, Abby went to bed, leaving Severus and Hermione cuddled on the couch.

"So Severus, tell me, how did someone like you come to own a house like this", Hermione smiling.

Severus smirked, "It was all Abby. A few years ago, she insisted that one of her parents were to have a beach house. Her mother refused, but I didn't see the harm in it, and it allowed me to bring her back from the states over the summer holidays."

"That explains it", Hermione said and then halted for a moment, before continuing, "Are you going to tell me about Abby's mother?"

"Are you sure you want to hear this", Severus asked frowning.

Hermione nodded.

"Well for starters, her name was Isabelle Ashford. How we met was simple, but complicated in a way. One night I, and several other death eaters, were summoned by Voldemort. It turned out this was one of his "entertainment" nights. When I arrived there were five muggle women strapped down to five separate tables."

Hermione cringed inside, but kept a straight face, having a good idea where this story was going.

"I was forced to partake in the festivities. Voldemort said that Isabelle was mine for the taking, and only mine because I was his most loyal servant. Before I could remove her from the room, I had to rape her in front of everyone."

Hermione was now rubbing circles on Severus' chest as he spoke.

"After I raped her, I drug her outside. She had been beaten badly by the others and was on the verge of death, so she begged me to kill her. But I just couldn't, there was something about her, something that made me break down. I apparated us to Hogwarts and brought her to Albus. He rushed her to Poppy, Isabelle almost died that night, she had lost so much blood. She stayed in the infirmary for a week, the last day was when we discovered she was pregnant."

Severus stopped for a moment and closed his eyes, Hermione rubbed her hand over his face.

"If this is too painful Severus, you don't have to tell me the rest."

"No, it's fine. I want you to know."

Hermione smiled and cuddled into his chest.

"I wanted to die when I found out that not only had I violated this women, I had left her with child. Albus explained to her the war with Voldemort and my role as a spy. Oddly enough, she seemed to understand and claimed not to hold anything against me. I pleaded with her to get an abortion, fearing that her and the child would die if Voldemort ever found out, but she refused. Isabelle said she would never terminate her child, and that maybe our child could bring happiness in this desperate time."

"Did Voldemort ever find out?"

"No, Albus put her into a safe house, along with her parents. From then on, I did everything in my power to give Isabelle and Abby anything they could ever need or want. To be honest, I had no intentions of ever being a father. I thought it would be best if I just provided material things, and stayed out of their lives. But on the day Abby was born, Isabelle was brought to Hogwarts, and Albus forced me to go to the infirmary to see my child. When Poppy placed Abby into my arms, I don't know, I just couldn't put her down. Her little black eyes seemed to bore holes into mine."

"Inherited the eyes and the look, I see."

Severus smirked, "You aren't the first person to say that. But, after Abby's birth, I spent all my free time with her and her mother. After Voldemort was defeated, we brought Isabelle, Abby, and Isabelle's parents out of the safe house and they moved back to their home in muggle London. I tried to convince Isabelle to move in with me, but she wouldn't since there was no chance of a relationship between the two of us. Then about five years later, they moved to the States."

"I had no idea you were going through any of that when I was at Hogwarts."

"Yes, it had to be kept a secret if I wanted my child to survive."

"No wonder you were such an ass at times."

Severus smirked, "Or perhaps I was sexually frustrated."

Severus rolled on top of Hermione, pressing his hips into hers. Hermione groaned and pulled Severus down into a searing kiss. Severus had just unbuttoned her shirt, when he heard screaming coming from upstairs.

Severus jerked, then sighed when he realized what it was. Hermione was scrambling to get up.

"Severus, what is that", Hermione said reaching for her wand.

"It's alright, it's Abby. She's been having nightmares on and off since the car accident", Severus said getting up.

Libby popped in, "Sir, I believe the miss needs you."

"Thank You, Libby", Severus said rushing up the stairs.

Hermione sat on the couch, trying to pull herself together. That kiss was intense. All she knew was that no matter what happened this summer, she was going to shag the shit out of Severus Snape.

After recollecting herself, Hermione made her way up to the guest room. She stopped in front of Abby's door, that Severus had left partially open. Severus was laying on Abby's bed, with Abby wrapped in his arms, cuddled to his chest.

Hermione smiled, who ever thought Severus Snape would be a father, and a good one at that.

Morning had come to soon for Hermione. She swore this house was against her, it seemed the sun shined in every corner of her room.

Hermione stood up and stretched, peering out the window, looking at the ocean. The next thing she knew she was back on the bed, with something heavy on top of her.

"It appears every time I try to touch you, something gets in the way", Severus purred into her ear.

"There's nothing stopping you now", Hermione said but let out a moan. Severus was grinding his hips into hers and sucking on her neck.

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong", he said bringing his mouth to her ear and nibbling on it, "breakfast is ready."

Severus kissed her lips, smirked, and then left the room. Hermione groaned in frustration, now Severus was just teasing her and he was going to pay for it later.

Twenty minutes later, Hermione made it to the kitchen, to see Albus and Eileen had joined them for breakfast.

"Nice of you to join us", Severus said smirking. Hermione glared at him and sat down.

"I hear you and Severus are working on a few potions", Eileen stated.

"I hear they're working on more then that", Abby said smirking.

Hermione nearly chocked on her food and Eileen smirked. Severus glared at Abby and kicked her shin.

"I believe that is our queue to be out of here. Severus we will return with Abby tomorrow afternoon, so you and Hermione can get a lab set up", Albus said with twinkling eyes.

Hermione was standing in the sitting room, waiting for Severus to see his family off. As she glanced over the potions ingredient list, she saw a list off to the side of a few random ingredients.

Severus silently walked up behind Hermione, placing his hands on her hips.

"I truly am sorry for running off two weeks ago", Severus said seductively as he placed his mouth on her neck."

Hermione fought the urge to moan and pulled out of his reach, it was now her turn to tease him.

"Say Severus, what are these ingredients off to the side of this list. If I recall correctly, we don't need them for anything."

Severus cocked an eyebrow when she moved away from him, "They are for Abby, a potion she is brewing."

"You allow her to brew with these ingredients. They are for more advanced potions correct?"

"Mmhmm, Abby is very talented when it comes to potions. But enough about Abby and these ingredients", Severus said gliding over to her, causing Hermione to back into the wall.

"Shouldn't we be setting up the lab", Hermione questioned with a smirk.

"It's already set up in the basement, my dear", Severus said right before he pulled her into a searing kiss.

The next thing Hermione knew she was laying on a king size bed, with a gray comforter.

"Did you apparate us to your bedroom?" ,Hermione asked pulling her mouth away from Severus'.

Severus grinned and starting kissing her neck. He worked the buttons off her shirt and unclasped her bra, and began his attack on her breast. Hermione moaned and clamped a hand into his hair.

After sliding off her skirt, Severus leaned backed and looked Hermione over.

"Severus, I swear if you're teasing me again, I will hex you into next week."

Severus smirked and started unbuttoning his pants. Hermione pulled him down, finishing unbuttoning his pants for him. She slid a hand into his boxers, causing him to moan and clench the bed sheets.

Pulling out of her reach, Severus removed his trousers and boxers. He placed his thumbs on the inside of her underwear, pulling them off, and discarding them with the rest of the clothes.

"Now, what is it you would like me to do", Severus said running his fingers over her stomach and down to the inside of her thigh.

"Gods, anything, I don't care", Hermione breathed.

Severus smiled and lightly ran his fingers over Hermione's clit, causing her to emit a low moan. He did the same with his tongue, running it from her inner thigh to her clit, but barely touching it.

"Severus, please", Hermione begged.

Running his finger in the same path again, he changed course as Hermione moaned, and inserted his finger into her core. Hermione moaned and opened her legs wider, to allow Severus deeper access.

Severus pumped for a moment, then added a second finger, then a third. Hermione was obviously coming close to climax, her back was arching and her muscles were starting to clench down. Severus stopped and pulled his fingers out of her dripping core.

"No! why did you stop", Hermione said in a hoarse voice.

Severus hovered over top of Hermione, pushing his hips into hers. "Tell me what you want", he said grinding his hips harder, making Hermione moan.

"You, I want you. I want you to fuck me, Severus!", Hermione nearly screamed.

"That's all I wanted to hear", Severus said grinning and thrusting into her.

Severus was thrusting hard and fast, with Hermione meeting his every thrust. It only took moments before both were screaming the others name, climaxing.

Severus fell onto Hermione, slowly rolling off of her, and bringing her into his chest.

"Gods Severus, I can't remember the last time someone shagged me like that", Hermione said breathlessly.

Severus smirked, "I do have to ask you something Hermione. What exactly do you want from this relationship?"

"Erm, well I'm not really sure. What do you want out of it?"

"I don't know either. Perhaps we can just let whatever happens, happen?"

"I can deal with that", Hermione said rolling on top of Severus, "I believe it is time for round 2."
