** I know there was some confusion about what happened between Abby, Matty, and Severus in the kitchen of the last chapter. Abby was able to pass the calming sensation through Matty and Severus, the same way Talon does.
"You don't think this has changed Abby in any other way?" Severus asked Albus, as they sat in Severus' sitting room, in front of the fire.
"No, I just think that this is one of the magical abilities that was passed to Abby that day at the ministry", Albus replied. "We will of course find out over time. But I don't believe this will harm her in anyway."
Severus sighed and nodded.
"How did Abby seem to process this?"
"Very surprised at first, she wasn't sure how to take it. But, she seemed rather mellow about it. Abby didn't freak out like I thought she would", Severus replied glancing over to his bedroom door, where Hermione, Abby, and Addison were laying in bed.
"Abby knew that new magic would start developing from the incident with you, her, and Talon. Has Abby said anything else about any other magic?"
"No. So far it's just the connection between her and my emotions and the calming ability in others she now has. Do you think there will be more?"
"To be honest, I don't know. A Phoenix's magic is hard to track and gage, you know that. There's no telling whether this is the end of the new magic or just the beginning."
"I was afraid of that."
"Ah, but Severus, don't look at this as a bad thing. Abby could be the next great one in the wizarding world."
"Or the next downfall", Severus said scowling.
"Abby's loving environment and keeping her magic in check will prevent that", Albus said standing. "I believe it is time for me to get back to my chambers and you back to your wife and kids. Eileen will be interested to hear about these new developments."
Severus nodded and watched Albus floo out of his sitting room. He then got up and made his way to his bedroom. Abby was spread out over his side of the bed, asleep. Hermione was laying on her back on her side of the bed, with Addison on her chest. Both appeared to be sleeping. Severus walked over to Hermione and reached down for Addison, Hermione's eyes shot open.
"I'm just going to lay him in his crib", Severus said softly.
Hermione smiled and nodded. When Severus came back into the room, he gently pushed Hermione to the middle of the bed and slid in behind her.
"So what did Albus have to say about Abby's new powers?" Hermione asked sleepily.
"It shouldn't be anything to worry about. We should encourage Abby to develop the powers that surface, so she can get a grasp on them and hopefully they won't frighten her."
"I think it just surprised Abby. Abby told me she thinks she can only use the new power if someone is upset, like Talon does. She does want to keep it quiet though among the rest of the staff and students. Abby doesn't mind her family knowing, but is afraid the staff and students will shun her again."
"I can understand that. Let's get some sleep, we've had a long night."
Severus woke up to the shuffling of pages and the smell of garlic. He opened his eyes and saw Abby looking at one of his potion books and eating pizza.
"Don't you think it's a little early for pizza", Severus said horsely.
Abby jumped and then smiled. "Nope."
"If you get any of that on my book, I'll have to hurt you."
Abby smirked, "We'll see about that."
Severus raised an eyebrow, "You're in an awfully good mood this morning."
Abby shrugged, "Do you know what's for breakfast in the great hall this morning?"
Severus raised his eyebrows, "How can you possibly be hungry when your eating right now."
"I don't know, I just am."
Severus scrunched up his face and sat up quickly, knocking Hermione forward slightly. "Are you pregnant??!?!!"
Abby glared at Severus, "No! Are you?"
"Don't deflect this by making jokes!"
"What's going on", Hermione said groggily.
"Abby's pregnant!!" Severus yelled.
"What!" Hermione said sitting up.
Abby made a face and grabbed Severus' arm, sending the feeling of ease through his body. Severus relaxed but was still scowling.
"Dad, you're over reacting. I'm not pregnant, there's no possible way I can be pregnant."
"Oh", Severus said relaxing even more.
"What is going on", Hermione said confusedly, shaking the sleep for head.
"Dad thinks I'm pregnant because I'm hungry", Abby said with a grin.
Hermione cocked an eyebrow at Severus.
"It's just she's eating pizza right now and was asking about breakfast. Abby you haven't really had a decent appetite since before last summer. I'm sorry I over reacted I just didn't know what to think."
Abby just grinned and continued eating her pizza. "So, when are you two having another baby?"
Severus scowled and Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Addison is only 6 months old."
"Mmm hmm", Abby said with a smirk.
"Go get ready for classes!"
Abby giggled and got off the bed, heading for her bedroom.
Hermione and Severus sat at the staff table, conversing with Remus over breakfast.
"Harry and Ginny told us last night that tonks is expecting?" Hermione asked Remus with a smile.
Remus smiled brightly and nodded.
"Congratulations! I'm so happy for the both of you", Hermione squealed.
Severus grinned at Hermione and then shook Remus' hand. "Enjoy your freedom while it lasts." Hermione glared at Severus and then elbowed him, Remus grinned.
An owl swooped down and dropped a letter in front of Severus.
"Who's it from", Hermione asked, while Severus was reading.
"Professor Summers. It appears she would like to use my lab tonight. I had already told Abby that I would help her brew a potion tonight, so perhaps this would be the perfect time to bring Page Summers in. I figure it will help with peace making between all of us and her."
"I suppose", Hermione said with a sigh. Severus placed a hand on Hermione's back.
The Great Hall doors burst open and two students stalked in. It appeared to be Jordan chambers and Shelly McCloud, Abby's ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend."
"Shelly wait", Jordan called.
"NO, GET AWAY FROM ME!" Shelly screamed, silencing the whole great hall.
Severus looked at the arguing teenagers and then turned to look at Abby, she was watching them curiously.
"Shelly, please. I'm sorry!" Jordan said quietly.
"NO! NO WONDER ABBY WOUDLN'T LET YOU TOUCH HER! WHAT WERE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER?!?!?! HAVING SEX WITH KNOCKTURN ALLEY WHORES?!?!"
Albus had gotten out of his seat and was making his way toward the disputing couple. Severus turned back to Abby and she was giggling, along with the rest of the student body.
"SHELLY! PLEASE!" Jordan said desperately.
"NO JORDAN! GET AWAY FROM ME WITH YOUR CRAB INFESTED SMALL PENIS!!"
Severus looked wide eyed at the couple, holding back his own smirk. He looked back over to Abby, she had her face buried in Matty's cloak, obviously in a fit of giggles. Severus turned and looked at Hermione, who was holding the same expression he was.
"I assume Abby will be in good spirits for the rest of the day, or probably the rest of her life", Hermione said straight faced.
Severus threw the daily profit in front of his face and laughed.
Abby walked into Severus' classroom after quidditch practice, dragging her broom behind her. "Dad, I'm here." Abby looked to her left and saw Page Summers standing over a cauldron, looking at her. Severus walked out of his store room.
Abby sighed and it seemed her features dropped. "I mean Professor I'm here. Where can I set up."
Severus cocked an eyebrow at Abby. "This isn't a school setting, Abby. There is no need for formalities. You may set up where you wish."
Abby nodded and walked over to the student tables, so she could set up as far away from Professor Summers as possible.
"I take it you had a good day. Dare I say, a delightful breakfast."
Abby grinned, her features turning back to normal. "Yes, it was rather lovely."
Severus, Abby, and Page Summers had been in Severus' classroom for an hour. Abby had kept to her side of the classroom, doing her best to avoid Professor Summers. Severus has checked on Abby a few times but had stayed with Page mostly, because she claimed she needed a lot of help. Abby was walking to the store room to grab an ingredient when Hermione walked out of Severus' office with a wide smile on her face, she was holding Addison.
"Hey, you look really happy", Abby said, stopping to talk to Hermione.
Hermione smiled and nodded, "Yes, Addison just sat up."
"Really", Abby said grinning.
"Mmm hmm, I came to tell you and your dad."
"Who are you talk to Abby", Severus asked as he walked into view. "Oh, I didn't know you were here." Severus bent down and kissed Hermione.
"Addison sat up!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Really!" Severus said just as excited and pulled Addison into his arms. Addison squealed at Severus, he was excited because everyone else was.
"Ohhh, ohhhh! Severus! I need your help!" Page called from the other side of the room, her cauldron was bubbling over.
"Shit", Severus mumbled and handed Addison back to Hermione.
Abby scowled, "She probably did that on purpose."
"Don't let her get your good mood down, I know I'm not", Hermione said smiling. "I'm going to go to the Potter's chambers for a little while."
"Can I come? I'm done brewing I just need to put a stasis spell on my cauldron."
"Of course."
"I don't know what went wrong", Page said to Severus.
"You added to many toad eggs", Severus said examining the potion.
"Dad, I'm going with Hermione", Abby called from his office door.
Severus waved his hand absently.
"I guess we will have to start over?" Page said hopefully.
"Yes, but not tonight. I suggest you read up on this potion before we continue."
"I can do that", Page said happily.
"I need to get some papers graded, that will be all for tonight."
"Do you need any assistance?"
"No, thank you."
"Well, thank you for the use of your classroom and your skilled hands", Page said smoothly.
"Your welcome", Severus replied, with a strange look on his face. Page reached over and pulled Severus into a hug. She made sure to crush her breast to his chest and slightly grind her hips into his thigh. Severus had to suppress a groan.
"I will see you tomorrow, Severus", Page said in a sultry voice and exited his classroom.
Severus woke with a moan. He opened his eyes but still had that hazy sleep feeling. He was suddenly aware that all his clothes were removed. Severus let out another moan when he felt a mouth devour his erection. He looked up and Hermione's curly hair came into view, Severus threaded his fingers through it.
After a few moments of letting Hermione devour him, he pulled her up by her shoulders and laid her on her back.
"And what do you think your doing", Severus asked grinding his erection on her clit. Hermione let out a cry and dug her nails into Severus' shoulders.
"I was pleasing you, of course", Hermione gasped. "You were moaning and groaning in your sleep and I saw your erection. It turned me on."
Severus grinned, "I'll have to remember that."
Hermione moaned when Severus placed himself at her entrance but didn't enter.
"How would you like it", Severus asked, rubbing Hermione's clit.
Hermione let out another cry and tried thrusting forward, but Severus held her in place.
"Severusss", Hermione hissed. "I want it hard, NOW!
Severus grinned and slowly brought Hermione's leg over his shoulder.
"Severus! I can't wait...." Hermione started to say but let out a throaty moan when Severus slammed into her.
"You were saying?" Severus panted. He pulled her other leg over her shoulder and leaned forward as far as he could. Severus grabbed on to the headboard of the bed and started slamming into Hermione.
Hermione's eyes immediately rolled back and her mouth gapped open as Severus slammed into her G spot. It was moments later when Hermione screamed her orgasm. Severus slowed his pace down and let her ride out her orgasm. He picked the pace back up when Hermione's eyes started to refocus.
"Oh gods, Severus", Hermione panted, closing her eyes again. Severus kept with the quick pace, bringing Hermione toward another orgasm.
"Are you close", Severus barely got out.
Hermione nodded and whimpered, Severus had slightly changed his position when he was thrusting. Three more thrusts had Hermione screaming in Ecstasy again and Severus was going the same.
Severus dropped Hermione's legs down to his side and laid heavily on her. Hermione was gasping for air.
"Are you ok", Severus murmured into her chest. Hermione grunted her reply and laced her hand into Severus' hair.
Severus started to get up a few minutes later.
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked.
"To shower and get dressed."
"But, it's Saturday. We don't have to be up for a couple of hours for Abby's quidditch match."
"I know, but I promised Professor Summers I'd help her on her potion this morning. I told her it had to be early so I could go to Abby's match."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I'm just trying to be nice to her Hermione. Hopefully it will stop all the tension between her and the rest of the professors and with Abby."
"Yeah, I'm sure that's her intentions", Hermione said sarcastically.
"You have nothing to worry about, my love", Severus said as he bent down and kissed her. Then, made his way to the bathroom.
"Where is Severus at?" Edward Granger asked Hermione, as they sat in the staff stands of the quidditch pitch. The Granger's, Malfoy's, all the Weasley's, Albus, Eileen, Healer Bronson, and Sebastian Curry had come to support Abby and the Gryffindor team in their first match of the season.
"He was suppose to be here by now. Severus is probably still helping that blasted Page Summers", Hermione said hatefully.
"I'm sure he's just running late, love", Jane Granger said rubbing Hermione's back. "Why don't I send Edward to go looking for him."
"I'll join him", Lucius said, he was sitting in front of them.
"You said Addison sat up the other day? That's great", Jane said changing the subject. Addison squealed from Hermione's lap when he heard Jane speaking.
Lucius and Edward walked the halls of Hogwarts, until they got down to Severus' classroom. They entered the classroom and found Severus and Page leaning over a cauldron. Page was rubbing Severus' arm. Lucius and Edward both raised their eyebrows to this.
"I'm really sorry, Severus. I guess I messed this potion up as well."
"It's alright."
Page continued to rub her hand up and down Severus' arm. Severus scowled and Lucius cleared his throat. Lucius was watching the scene curiously and Edward was glaring at Page.
"Are you here early for the quidditch match?" Severus asked the two men in his doorway, taking in Edwards angry face.
"No, you are late for the quidditch match. If you don't come now, you will miss the opening", Lucius responded.
"Shit I didn't realize how late it was", Severus said putting his stuff down and throwing a stasis spell over the cauldron. "Sorry Professor Summers but we will have to finish this later", Severus said as he ushered her to the door and all four stepped into the hallway.
"Thank you for the help Severus, perhaps we can finish tonight?"
"No, I will be with my family tonight. We will continue sometime next week", Severus said as he followed Lucius and Edward into the opposite direction.
"Khakis, Severus? And a dark blue shirt?" Lucius said looking over his attire.
"Yes, you can thank Hermione for that. She keeps buying more clothes with colors and hiding my black clothing."
Lucius snorted.
"I see my daughter was correct about her assumptions with this Page Summers women", Edward said, still angry.
"I've made it very clear to Page Summers that I'm very much in love with Hermione. Page has gotten the point."
"Really? Then why was she rubbing on your arm?"
"She wasn't rubbing on my arm", Severus stated, confused.
"Yes she was, Severus", Lucius commented.
"Are you sure?"
"Very sure", Edward stated flatly.
"I must not have noticed. Hermione does that to me all the time, I'm just use to it I guess."
"Yes, well Page isn't your wife. And I dare say if Hermione caught her doing that to you, Page would be dead and you wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore.
"I guess I'll have to be more alert around Page", Severus said as him, Edward, and Lucius made their way up into the staff stands.
"There you are Severus", Albus said happily.
"Have I missed anything?"
"No, they are just about to start."
Severus sat next to Hermione, she wouldn't look at him.
"Sorry I'm late, love. I didn't realize what time it was", Severus said taking Hermione's hand.
Hermione looked at her father and saw he was scowling. She looked at Severus and glared.
"I knew that women would be trouble", Hermione said pulling her hand away and wrapping it around Addison.
"Hermione, I just lost track of time." Hermione refused to look at or speak to Severus. Severus sighed and turned his head toward the quidditch pitch.
Severus and Hermione's chambers were filled with people. Abby, the Granger's, Weasley's, Potters, Malfoys, Albus, Eileen, Remus, Healer Bronson, and Sebastian Curry were all gathered celebrating Gryffindors victory.
Hermione, Ginny, Eileen, Jane, Narcissa and Molly were all in Addison's room. Addison, James, and Lily were laying on some blankets, playing. The women were sitting around the room, talking.
"I really can't stand that cow", Ginny said, referring to Page Summers.
"If it weren't for my teaching position, I'd kick her ass", Hermione said scowling.
"I'll do it for you!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Now girls, you don't want to get yourself into loads of trouble over this women", Jane added.
Hermione huffed, "Severus would have missed Abby's match if it wasn't for my dad and Lucius. I can't believe she was rubbing on his' arm and Severus didn't do anything about it."
"I don't think Severus realized she was doing it. Your father said that Severus said he's so use to you doing he didn't pay any attention to it", Jane said.
"I don't think Severus intentionally let her do it", Eileen said. "But you should still give him hell for it."
"I agree", Molly and Narcissa added.
The women giggled. They heard Abby squealing from the other room, then the door burst open and she ran in.
"Guess what! Guess what!" Abby said speaking to everyone, as she jumped into Eileen's lap.
"What?" Eileen said cocking an eyebrow.
"Sebastian Curry told me that they are looking to recruit Matty to the Holyhead Harpies next year, we both are being invited to a two week summer camp next summer AND Sebastian said he is looking to retire soon, so he is positive they will look to recruit me when I graduate Hogwarts!"
"That's wonderful!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Wait! That's not the best part", Abby said smirking. "The summer camp is for students, so they ask the best players of each team they work with. Guess who's NOT going."
"Who?" Narcissa asked.
"Jordan Chambers", Abby said giggling. The women giggled with Abby.
"Ok I need to go back out there, I just wanted to tell everyone that", Abby said cheerfully, getting off of Eileen and walking out of the room.
"Abby seems to be in such high spirits these days", Narcissa remarked.
"It seems like ever since the day she discussed her mother with Severus she has been feeling much better", Hermione said.
"It's good to see her getting back to herself", Eileen said smiling.
Hours later, everyone had left Severus' and Hermione's chambers. Abby and Addison were spending the night with Albus and Eileen. Hermione had been laying in bed while Severus cleaned everything up. Severus quietly climbed in bed and snuggled into Hermione's left side.
"Are you still angry with me", Severus whispered.
"Mmm hmm."
"I truly am sorry. I would never let that women or any other women intentionally rub on my arm. I've just gotten use to you being so affectionate with me."
Hermione didn't reply.
"Do you think, perhaps, I could make it up to you", Severus said running his hand over her breast. Before Severus could do anymore, Hermione had pulled out her wand and murmured something. Severus' arms and legs were spread apart and he was bond to the bed.
"I think, perhaps, I should punish you", Hermione said with a grin.
Severus grinned back.
