there is no excuse for the wait I have put you through. I am sorry, very very sorry!

but here it is! The last daughter of time!

Hermione POV

The last class for the day was over and I started to pack up my things to take to my rooms.

Merlin I was tired! I could hardly sleep anymore, just thinking about the whole situation with Celeste and the situation with Severus. I couldn't handle it anymore, he had started to look at me during meals and I couldn't bring myself to look back at him. What was he after? I know he cares for Celeste, so maybe he will just sleep with me and then walk away to make her suffering End?

But I missed him, it felt so empty without him.

"oh for fucks sake Hermione!" I growled to myself and threw a parchment roll across the room so it hit the wall.

work would put my mind at ease and then I would just take a sleeping draught and be done with the day and hope to sleep.

I turned around and jumped back almost immediately and pulled my wand out.

"Snape what the hell!" I snarled and he walked out from the shadows more. I did not remove my wand though, I didn't want him near me. In case I would do something I would possibly regret later, like seeking comfort in him.

"I did not come here to fight you" he said with the same silk smooth voice as ever.

"Then why did you come here?" I asked and crossed my arms over my chest and before he could answer I decided to really show him how annoyed I really was and interrupted him. "Or I know! Since the only way to apparently save Celeste that you oh so adore, is to have sex with me so you have come to seduce me? The common whore?" I yelled and he just stood there, not moving a muscle with a neutral expression.

I shook my head. "It's not going to happen"

"Hermione, I came to say that I am sorry for all that happened-"

"Oh you're sorry? Then all is forgiven, take me Severus!" I said and threw my outer robes off so I was left in my blue summer dress and leaned back against the desk.

now he looked angry, serves him right though. He took long steps towards me and his black gaze was burning with anger and something else.

"Hermione, I am truly sorry about what I said and did. But you have to confess that the situation as it was presented did not work for your favor! You were kissing with another man half naked and then you tried to convince me that you apparently had nothing to do with it!"

"Yes shame on me for thinking you would stop and listen to the facts, shame on me for thinking you cared enough for me to give me a chance to explain!" I said and then it struck me how close we were to each other and I backed away straight into the desk and he stepping forward grabbing both of my wrists.

I looked up into his eyes and was about to tell him to piss off when his lips moved against mine and I involuntarily shivered in pleasure from head to toe. Then I realized what was actually happening and I pushed him away from me and then walked to the other side of the desk.

"Just stop it please" I said, tired of fighting and feeling like I could cry. "I know why you're doing all of this. You only want Celeste to be able to go home"

"No" he said and I looked at him in confusion. "It is true that I would be glad to see her go on, but I do not really care. What she said before, about us not being her parents in this time is true. So how can I truly care for her in that way without knowing her? It is you that I want, only you."

He sighed. "You both made me hope, hope for a family. And I don't want to give that up"

he walked to me again and let his hands slide up my arms to my shoulders. "I love you, don't make me beg"

He bent down and kissed my forehead and I breathed in his scent.

"This doesn't feel real" I said and stepped away from him. There was so many things I wanted to do. I wanted to kiss him and forgive it all, I wanted to slap him and fight and I wanted to just crawl into his arms and just stay there forever and not make a decision.

But instead I just walked out of the classroom, leaving my books behind me.

I was sitting in Celeste's room waiting for her to wake up. I was studying her face for traces of myself in her. She did look like me, but she also looked a lot like Severus with her dark hair and her dark eyes which were now closed.

She was so beautiful, she was so smart and so kind. Such a beautiful creature should not flee the world before her time.

I went over to her side and stroked her black curls, her eyes fluttered and she opened them and looked up at me.

She didn't say anything, and I had no words that seemed sensible enough to say. So we just stayed like that, silent as I stroked her hair. The longer I stared into her black eyes the more I thought of Severus and how he was like in the future. But one should not know the future, but I just had to ask.

"Are we happy?" And Celeste nodded.

"You would do anything for each other, you are ridiculously in love" she sighed and then turned her face away and looked at the wall.

I took the hint and walked out. I started to walk towards the dungeons, knowing that he would be there.

I knew he was sincere about what he had said earlier. He did care for me, he did love me. The thought made me smile and I felt a warmth spread through my body and started to walk faster.

I hardly even noticed when I started to run. I just hoped it wasn't too late, maybe he had changed his mind? What if he didn't want me now. I stopped running when I saw a stream of students walk out of the potions classroom and stood there waiting for them all to exit.

When they had I rushed into the classroom and closed the door behind me. Severus was sitting behind his desk writing and sighed when he surely sensed there was someone in the room and looked up.

He froze and just stared at me and I smiled and ran up to him, around his desk and threw myself at him.

I stroked the black hair away from his face, dans before he could sat anything I kissed him. His arms wrapped around my body and pressed me to him as if he was scared I would go away.

I pulled away from the kiss and straddled his lap and he put his hands on my thighs and I felt the warmth of them through the fabric of my dress.

"Why are you doing this Hermione?"

"Because I love you" I said and his eyes widened. "And I don't want to lose the chance to be happy with you just because I was angry. I want to stay with you as long as I am allowed"

Severus didn't say anything he just smiled and kissed me. He took out his wand andi heard him whisper a silencing spell and then took my lips with his again. The buttons at the top of my dress suddenly popped open and the slightly chilly dungeon air hit my breast and Severus hands moved under my bum and lifted me up and sat me down on his desk.

He then took a step back. "I'm sorry if this is going to fast, do you wish to wait or-"

he silenced when I cupped his private parts and gently pulled him back to me and unzipped his fly. I squeezed him and was satisfied when I saw his eyes nearly roll back into his head.

"That's exactly how I want you, fast" he stepped closer to me and his hands sneaked under my dress and dragged my panties off "and hard"

he smirked and pressed himself all the way into me and I moaned at the feeling. He placed his hands on my bum and thrust against me and I moaned again and wrapped my arms around his neck as he continued to thrust hard inside me.

he growled as I bit his neck and leaned down over the desk so my back was on the desk again. I sat up again quickly and pushed him back down into his chair and straddled him the I lowered myself onto him and saw his eyes roll back and moaned as he thrust upwards hitting the spot.

"I love you" I said and he smiled and his hand went up to my breasts and placed a kiss between them and then groaned as I grounded hard on him.

"I love you too"

*Dumbledore POV*

"Headmaster!" I looked up from the papers on my desk and searched for what portrait that had called for me, and saw the grumpy face of old potions master Bane Black look at me.

"Ah, what can I do for you Mr Black?"

"You told me to notify you of the young potions masters movements. He and the young charms mistress are doing sinful activities in his office...On his desk! My old DESK!"

I merely smirked and put a new lemon dropping my mouth. Then reached for the little hour glass in my top drawer and started to twirl it forwards.

"I never did something like that on my desk...women should be taken in bed not-"

"yes, yes Mr Black. It's the new generation, they are at it everywhere" I smiled and the portrait snorted and continued to mumbled angrily. I stopped twirling the hourglass and then counted again for safety's sake.

"Twilly!" He called and the female house elf popped up on his desk. "As soon as I let this go you are to take it and put it under the bed of Miss Snape in the infirmary then pop out before she notices you"

i gave it to the elf and she disappeared at once.

"This was all terribly clever of you, but why?" Mr black asked and I shrugged.

"I was bored, and matchmaker is always a game I have a enjoyed playing. I do hope the spell I put on the girl didn't affect her twin in her present so much. But with them being linked I can imagine it did."

"You made her believe she would die if she didn't get them together...Very slytherin of you" the old Professor smirked and I smiled.

"It was for the best. They will be happy with each other, celeste will go back to her time and it will all work out"

I walked over to the window and looked out at the sun setting.

"What will you do about the girl? Will you let her remember? Will you let them remember?"

"Celeste...She will always remember, but Severus and Hermione. I will let them remember the essentials. It's a dangerous thing to know ones future"

twilly popped up again and gave me the now not ticking hourglass.

"Lil missy disappeared"

"Good, your work is done now" I said and she disappeared.

*Celeste POV*

when the room had stopped spinning and I finally opened my eyes I noticed that i was standing in the infirmary.

"Celeste?" I turned around and saw Sebastian standing behind me putting on his school robes.

"Seb?" I looked around and then looked at him. "I'm back?"

he nodded and smiled a huge smile "You're back!"

I laughed and threw myself around his neck And hugged him as hard as I could.

"You gotta tell me what happened!" Sebastian said as we stopped hugging and I just smiled and shook my head.

"My dear brother, there is no possible way I will ever tell you what happened. I am very sure you can live without knowing that"

he was about to protest when I put my hand over his mouth.

"Seb, you really really don't want to know" I sighed and then walked out if the room with him next to me. When the next horrifying thought hit Me.

I was so behind on all homework...

Done!

I hope you all liked it and I apologize again for the delay of this chapter.
