"When's your last class?" Severus asked Hermione over breakfast, as he ran his hand over her thigh. They both sat at the staff table, in the great hall.
"4:30", Hermione said with a small smile.
"Excellent, Mine is as well. Abby has quidditch practice until dinner, so I'd imagine that we could get some alone time. As long as Addison takes his daily nap of course."
"Sounds lovely", Hermione said, dropping her hand down and squeezing Severus'.
Severus looked up as Carry Higgs entered the great hall. She walked her way over to the Gryffindor table and sat not to far from Abby. Carry gave Abby the evilest glare she could muster. Abby just cocked an eyebrow, then turned and continued her conversation with Matty.
"Abby seems to be taking Carry Higgs' actions rather well", Hermione commented.
"I think Abby's just ignoring her. She realizes Carry is going through a lot", Severus said.
Severus took a sip of his coffee and looked up. He chocked and nearly spit it out onto the table. Page Summers was stalking down the isle, heading toward Albus' seat, sending menacing glares at Abby. Page's hair was hot pink with neon green highlights. The students started giggling and whispering in hushed tones.
"Good lord", Hermione said, starting to snicker. She pulled the Daily Profit in front of her face, pretending to read it.
"I believe this was the work of my daughter. Look at the look on Abby's face", Severus whispered to Hermione.
Hermione looked up. Abby was grinning widely and whispering to Matty and a few of the other students seated around her.
"Headmaster!" Page exclaimed. "Look at my hair!"
"Ah, Professor Summers, what a lovely new hair style. Reminds me of Professor Lupin's wife, such a lovely women. What brought on your change in hair style?"
"I didn't do this!" Page nearly screeched.
"Oh, did you go to the stylist in Hogsmeade?"
"No!"
The students started giggling and snickering even more.
"I got out of the shower and my hair had changed colors! I want her punished, this instant!"
"And who are you referring too?" Albus inquired.
"Abigail Snape! Who else would I be referring to?"
"You believe she did something to your hair?"
"Of course! You know she did! She basically admitted to doing something delinquent the other night."
Severus looked back over at Abby. He could see the grin she was repressing and masking it with an innocent look.
"Ah, Ms. Snape only admitted to knowing where your chambers are, as do many of the other students. I do believe this conversation needs to continue in my office. Severus, Hermione...."
"Right behind you, Albus", Severus said as he stood and reached a hand down to Hermione. "We will retrieve Abby." Severus nodded toward Abby and then to the staff door. Abby nodded back and stood, smirking down at Matty.
Severus and Hermione stood outside the staff door waiting for Abby. Abby emerged and looked at Severus, obviously trying to read his emotions.
"You're not mad", Abby stated, feeling how at ease Severus was.
"Not at the moment", Severus replied, pulling Abby toward Albus' office.
"I will not be ridiculed by a student!" Page was exclaiming when Severus, Hermione, and Abby entered the office.
"Professor Summers I assure you I will get to the bottom of this. I agree, no student should show any professor disrespect, but we don't know that Abby did this. If everyone would have a seat." Albus conjured extra chairs for everyone to sit in. On the far right end of Albus' desk sat Page, Severus next to her, Hermione next to Severus and then Abby next to Hermione, on the other end.
"Why are you here? This doesn't involve you", Page said angrily, looking at Hermione. Hermione scowled in return.
"Hermione is Abby's step mother. Anything that involves parental actions toward Abby will include Hermione", Severus said glaring.
Page huffed and started to object.
"Severus is right. Anything involving Abby will include Hermione", Albus said sternly.
Severus schooled his face and watched Page fume."What is it you are accusing Abby of?" Severus asked, politely.
Page scowled, "I entered the shower this morning and my hair was fine. When I got out, it looked like this!" Page was pointing at her hair with one hand and frantically waving the other.
Abby started to snicker. Severus sent her a sideways glare and stepped on her foot. Abby glared back at him.
"Not only did she tamper with my shampoo, she also broke the wards to my chambers! Disciplinary actions need to be taken!" Page yelled.
"Abigail, anything to say?" Albus said looking at Abby.
"Of course, grandfather", Abby said calmly.
Page scowled, "That's another thing! Abby walks around here calling the professors what she pleases!"
"The professors that I am related to or know allow me to call them by first name or such when not in a classroom setting or school setting!" Abby said becoming angry. Severus added more pressure to Abby's foot, causing her to gasp and glare at him.
"This is a school setting! You're being disciplined!" Page spat.
"Disciplined because you're to stupid to figure out how to use shampoo!" Abby yelled.
Severus flung his hand up and smacked Abby in the back of the head. "Abigail! You will not disrespect any professor, ever!" Severus had stood up and was now towering over Abby. Abby was glaring up at him. "I'm assigning you detention for a week with me and whatever the headmaster chooses to give you on top of that! Apologize, NOW!" Severus was now in Abby's face.
Abby looked over at page and gritted her teeth, "I apologize for simply stating what I believed to be true." Severus and Page both glared at Abby.
Hermione leaned over and pulled on Severus' arm, getting him out of Abby's face. "Love, have a seat, lets deal with the issue you at hand."
"What the hell do you think the issue is! It's this right here", Page bite at Hermione.
"One thing at a time Professors Summers or this won't get anywhere", Hermione snapped back.
"Alright, Alright", Albus said calmly. "Hermione is right, lets everyone cool down and have a seat." Severus sat back in his seat but twisted his hand in the sleeve of Abby's rob so she couldn't just walk away from him when this was all over.
"And, Professor Summers is right Abby", Albus said continuing. "You need to address us as Professor in this setting."
Abby glared at Albus. "Fine, Professor Dumbledore." Albus lost his twinkle and nearly shivered at the venom that could be heard in Abby's voice.
Hermione leaned over to Severus, "You need to calm down. Not only is Abby angry now, but she's feeding off of your anger. You have to remember she can't control the feeling of your emotions when she's so angry."
Severus' face went blank, he always seemed to forget Abby could feel his emotions. He unclenched his hand from Abby's robe and tangled his fingers with hers. Abby tried to pull away but Severus wouldn't allow it. Fawks hopped off his perch and flew over to Abby, landing on her shoulder and nuzzling her cheek. Her eyes glazed over and she seemed dazed for a minute but then her eyes focused on Albus again.
"Now, Abigail, what is it you were going to say?" Albus asked softly, regaining his twinkle.
Abby looked up and spoke quietly, "Just that I did not break the wards to Professor Summers chambers nor did I tamper with her shampoo."
"She's lying", Page said glaring.
"Do you have proof that she did it?" Hermione asked, rather nicely.
"Well, no. But I know she did!"
"Abigail says she didn't do it and with no proof I can't punish her", Albus commented.
Page huffed and started to speak.
"I believe you and I should speak alone", Albus said to Professor Summers. "Abigail, I must stress to you though, that disrespecting a professor will not be tolerated."
"Yes, sir", Abby said, nodding.
"The weeks worth of detention with your father will be enough, this time. You three may leave, if Professor Lupin has a problem with your tardiness, Abigail, have him see me", Albus said, dismissing Severus, Hermione, and Abby.
Abby got up and nearly dragged Severus to the door because he refused to let go of her hand. Hermione was right behind them. They had reached the spiral staircase before Severus had a chance to speak.
"Abby, I'm sorry I went off on you. You can't speak to adults that way, especially your professors", Severus said. Abby didn't respond. As soon as the spiral staircase opened into the main hallway she started walking.
"Abby, stop for a minute", Severus requested. Abby didn't listen. Severus tightened his hand on Abby's and yanked backwards, causing her to fall into his chest. "I'm not going to let you walk off being this angry and upset."
Abby turned around and faced Severus. It was obvious she was furious and fighting back tears. "How could you let that bitch speak to Hermione that way!"
Severus and Hermione were both taken aback. Severus started to speak, but Abby cut him off.
"I get that she gave some lame excuse for speaking to me the way she did. But you just let her be a bitch to Hermione and you did nothing!"
"Abby, calm down. It's alright", Hermione said softly.
"NO! It's not!" Abby yelled.
Severus pushed Abby up against the wall and held her there with his body. "Abby you're getting too worked up over this. Calm down. You have to realize she's a fellow employee and I can't just call her a bitch for speaking to my wife inappropriately."
Abby glared.
"Love, your father is right. As much as I wanted to smack Professor Summers, I couldn't", Hermione said with a soft smile and twirling some of Abby's hair. Abby huffed. Severus wrapped his arm around Abby's waist and pulled her completely into his chest, he began rubbing his cheek on hers, trying to let Abby feel how at ease he was. Abby slowly calmed down and relaxed into Severus' chest.
"Now, that's much better", Severus said softly. He pulled Abby away a little bit and smirked. "I know you did it. I could tell by the smirk on your face in the great hall that it was you."
Abby cocked an eyebrow and started to smirk.
"So, how did you do it?" Hermione asked.
"You have never been one to lie to your grandfather", Severus commented.
"I didn't lie", Abby said grinning.
Severus mimicked Abby and cocked an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Of course not. I didn't break the wards on Professor Summers chambers nor did I tamper with her shampoo. Interesting that Professor Dumbledore didn't think to ask me if I stood outside of Professor Summers chambers with Professor Potter's invisibility cloak on and waited for Professor Summers to come along and say her password. Nor did he ask me if I charmed Professors Summers shower head to temporarily dye her hair." Abby said, making sure to slightly emphasize the professors titles.
"Gods, I love you Abby", Hermione said giggling.
Hermione lay panting under Severus. Severus laid breathless with his full weight on Hermione. His large erection was deflating in her core.
"That was amazing, Severus", Hermione panted.
After a moment Severus responded. "I've been waiting for that all day. I didn't think I was going to make it through my last class. Gods, you make me as randy as one of these hormone driven teenagers we teach."
Hermione smiled and tangled her hand into Severus' hair. They laid in compatible silence for a few moments.
"I do need to get up and grade papers before dinner", Hermione said, trying to push Severus off of her.
"Mmm" was Severus' only response.
"Get up, love. I need you to watch Addison while I work", Hermione said, tickling Severus' side. Severus flinched away from Hermione's hand and rolled across the bed, going right over the side. Hermione laughed when she heard Severus' soft thump on the floor. She peered over the side of the bed.
"I don't find this funny", Severus said glaring up at her.
"I do", Hermione said with a grin. Severus launched himself off the floor and had Hermione pinned to the bed in seconds. Hermione squealed in surprise and then giggled at Severus' playful scowl.
"Do you find this funny?" Severus said, as he grinned his hips into Hermione.
Hermione let out a moan and then batted him away. "Later Severus, I have work to do first. I think we can pick this up later on tonight."
About an hour later, Hermione was sitting in a chair in the sitting room, grading papers. Addison was laying on a blanket playing with his toys and Severus was asleep on the couch. Abby, Matty, and Julie walked in.
"Shouldn't you two be at practice?" Hermione asked Abby and Matty.
"We were. But, half the team is sick with the flu and Harry wasn't feeling well", Abby commented. Abby looked at Severus and grinned, "Is he sleeping?"
Hermione nodded, "Yes, he's suppose to be watching your brother. But, he fell asleep as soon as he laid on the couch."
"I've never seen your dad so relaxed", Julie commented.
"He won't be relaxed for long", Abby said grinning. "Was dad in a good mood before he went to sleep?"
"Mmm hmm. He was in a very good mood, actually", Hermione said smiling, keeping her eyes on her papers she was grading.
"How long do you think I have before he wakes up?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know if your dad was in a deep sleep or not. He could be awake now for all I know."
Abby peered over Severus and examined his face. "I think he's still sleeping. You know, we never officially ended the hex war. Do you guys want to help me?" Abby said turning to Matty and Julie.
"No, Abby whatever you plan on doing you're on your own", Matty said smirking. "I think your dad actually likes me and I don't want to change that."
"I agree with Matty, I don't want anything to do with this. Your dad would kill us. Maybe you should let him sleep", Julie said smiling.
"Nah, can't be any worse then what he was going to do with me this morning", Abby said quietly, taking her wand out and pointing it at Severus' head. The next thing Abby knew she was flipped onto the floor, with Severus hovering over top of her.
"You should have listened to your friends. It seems you easily forget I was a spy and most the time as a light sleeper", Severus said with a smirk.
Abby looked completely surprised and then grinned. "I was just trying to wake you for dinner."
"Right", Severus said, clasping his hand over Abby's wand and then throwing it across the room. Matty and Julie started to back toward the chamber door. "Where do you two think you're going", Severus said as he flicked his wand. Matty and Julie were hurtled in the air, landing in a sitting position,bound to the couch.
"We didn't do anything", Matty said shocked.
"Yes, but you didn't stop her either." Severus said and then scowled when he felt something on his face.
Abby grinned, Severus was now caked with face make-up.
"Aw, dad you look so pretty."
Hermione looked up from her work and laughed. Severus scowled playfully at her, "I Will deal with you later." He turned back to Abby, "Now, what to do, what to do." Severus flicked his wand, gluing Abby to the floor
"Hey! Ew, this feels weird", Abby said making a face.
Severus pointed his wand onto Abby's check and started dragging it across her face. The parts of Abby's face that were touched by Severus' wand starting changing colors.
"What are you doing", Abby asked, after she heard Matty and Julie start to giggle. Addison started to giggle too, he was laying on the floor about ten feet from Severus and Abby.
"I believe your friends and brother are enjoying this", Severus said and then scowled. "What are you doing!" Severus started swatting at his hair. His hair was standing straight up on his head and then started to twist itself into a nice feminine hair due. Everyone, including Hermione, was laughing.
"You and this damn wandless, non-verbal magic. If I have to, I will place a hazing charm on your mind", Severus said and then immediately knew his mistake. Abby stiffened and got a horrified look on her face. The spell was used numerous times on Abby by Graham and Fenrir Greyback. Talon had flew in from Abby's bedroom, landing on Abby's head and started cooing.
Severus grabbed Abby's hand and squeezed, he didn't want her to have a break down in front of her friends. "Or, perhaps, I will just use a tickling charm." Severus flicked his wand and Abby started giggling.
"Severus, let her breathe", Hermione said with a smile as Abby's face turned bright red from her giggling.
"Finite Incantatem", Severus said lazily. All spells were lifted from both Severus and Abby. Severus still sat on Abby's chest. "Now, I hope you think twice before you decide to attack me again..." Severus stopped in mid sentence, he was peering down at Abby.
"What?" Abby said still smiling from being tickled.
"What is that?"
"What is what?" Abby said confused.
"It appears I also lifted the charm from your neck."
They both heard Matty suck in a deep breath. Abby got wide eyed and flung her hand up to her neck, but Severus blocked it.
"Is that a hickey?!" Severus said scowling at Abby.
"No, no! It's a, um, well..."
"That's what I thought", Severus said matter-of-factly. He stood up off of Abby and made his way over to the couch. Matty was trying desperately to release himself from the invisible bonds. Severus sat down beside him and just starred at him for a moment.
"Tell me something, Matty. What have you and my daughter been doing together? Hmmm?"
"Dad!" Abby said scowling and sitting up on the floor.
"Nnnnothing", Matty stuttered.
"Oh really? So that hickey isn't from you? Are you telling me Abby is seeing more than one boy?"
"Dad!"
"Severus!" Hermione said at the same time Abby yelled at Severus.
"Of course not! The hickey is from me!" Matty said, before realizing what exactly came out of his mouth. Matty winced, almost as if he were waiting for Severus to hit him. Severus grinned. Julie was snickering.
"What are you laughing at? Don't think I haven't noticed you and your boyfriend having a snog fest behind the suits of armors in the hallway", Severus said to Julie. She looked shocked.
"Stop harassing my friends!" Abby said, standing up and pulling Severus off the couch.
"Severus, your going to scare these kids half to death. Your making them uncomfortable, Leave them alone", Hermione said, not taking her eyes off her work.
Severus stood up, "Fine, but we will discuss that hickey later, Abigail." He flicked his wand, releasing Matty and Julie from their bonds.
"I look forward to it", Abby replied, sarcastically.
Severus slightly enlarged Hermione's chair and sat down with her. He smirked and leaned over, placing his lips on Hermione's neck and started nibbling.
"Stop that!" Hermione said swatting him away. "I need to finish this work and don't do that in front of the kids!"
"Oh, it's nothing they haven't done."
Abby scowled, "We are going to dinner."
"We will not be making it to dinner tonight. Hermione needs to finish some work and I'm going to spend sometime with your brother", Severus said.
"Alright", Abby said and bid them goodbye.
"I can take a break and we can gp to dinner", Hermione commented.
"No, it's alright. I wouldn't mind have dinner down here", Severus said picking up Addison and laying back on the couch.
"You just want to go back to sleep", Hermione said with a grin.
"For a bit, yes. I just want to get myself prepared for a night of shagging you", Severus said grinning back.
An hour later, the floo light up and Albus' head came into view.
"Hermione, Severus?"
"Severus is asleep, Albus. Is there something I can do for you?" Hermione asked.
Albus' sighed, "I am in need of you and Severus in my office. There was a little mishap with Abby at dinner that needs to be ironed out. Bring Addison, Eileen is in my chambers and said she would be happy to watch him while we discuss this."
"Alright", Hermione replied. Albus' head disappeared.
Five minutes later, Hermione, Addison, and a very disgruntled looking Severus came through the floo. Eileen took Addison from Hermione and disappeared into Albus' private chambers. Albus sat behind his desk. Abby and Draco were standing on the far right side of the room and Page Summers and Carry Higgs were standing on the far left.
