I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER.
Chapter 15
Severus wasn't fully conscious to know that he definatly saw Hermione at the boat house.
It could of been a mirage, he had lost a great deal of blood after all, but then again would she abandon him after everything they had been through?
He couldn't be certain. Although he could distinctively remember the way that her petite hands gently ghosted over his skin as she tended to his wounds.
He couldn't imagine that!
Her gentle touch, her love, her genuine concern for his wellbeing.
No, she was there.
But when Severus awoke, confused, in the headmasters office, to only be greeted by the shocked face of Mcgonagall and the bumbling, twinkly eyed portrait of Albus Dumbledore, he knew she wasn't there.
It was getting to the point now, that Hermione Granger was absolutely sick and tired of leaving Severus.
Although this time would be different. Either she failed or succeeded.
Every single fiber of Hermiones being wished she had.
How could she carry on with a happy life knowing that she failed in saving the ones most close to her.
There was only one way to find out.
Dance through time and face the music.
Hermione's brain was leaking anxiety left, right and centre. This had distracted her from the fact she was back, in her time.
Her stomach twisted in knots, mainly in anticipation, to know her fate.
"My, My Miss Granger, you were fast!" Dumbledores painting chuckled.
Her head whipped around to look at the portrait, with two patches of red starting to appear on her cheeks.
She laughed dryly at the remark, "Ha, ha I suppose you are correct there sir."
She paused, letting her thoughts settle, then looked at Dumbledore, once again.
"Is he... Is he??" She stammered at him.
He looked at her with a fatherly warmth in his eye.
However before he could even form a word, the office door swinged opened with great force.
"Albus! I cannot endure this any longer! She must be back..."
Hermione saw a whirlwind of black robes waft in as Severus Snape, alive as ever, stormed into the room. He stopped abruptly when he clocked eyes on his former student, his savour, his love, his reason to live.
Hermione.
He stood there for what felt like an eternity, staring at Hermione intensely. He couldn't take his eyes off her, it was almost as if she would suddenly vanish trace.
Millions of thoughts rushed into his head. for Severus had had several months of ruminating emotions, where Hermione didn't have that time to think. It had just been her present, moments ago.
After a moment more of staring, Severus mentally picked up his thoughts, straightened his back and in his Iconic professor voice he spoke.
"Well Miss Granger... are you just going to stand there like a gormless dunderhead?"
He paused taking a breath.
It was make or break.
"Or, are you going to..."
He didn't even get to the end of the sentence, Hermione had already flung her arms around the potions master, hugging him so tightly, like a child clinging on to their favourite teddy.
"I've... I've..." Hermione sputtered into his chest, hot tears soaking into his robes
"Sssh, I'm here."
He gently put his hands on her shoulders, and looked directly into her eyes. My god she had beautiful eyes.
"I think we should continue this conversation in private."
Hermione eagerly nodded her head, and followed Severus to the fireplace.
"Shall we?" He said holding his out.
As soon as they landed in Severus's quarters Hermione found herself enveloped inside his robes. Not that she cared, infact she was almost giddy with joy as she drowned his scent.
"You really are the brightest witch of your age." He mumbled into her hair.
She looked at him with eyes gleaming with delight, "I have never been so happy to see your face again Severus" she whispered, placing her hand on his face, "I am never going to leave you again."
A slight smirk echoed on Severus's face, "Hmm yes, I was hoping you would say that."
How lucky he was.
Indeed, Severus Snape finally felt like a lucky man.
"I love you." His words smooth like silk on his tounge.
Hermione brought her lips to his.
She was finally home.
Their lips moved in unison reacting to one another in a fevered passion.
Severus had been like a man in desert ever since Hermione left his side, but now she was back? He was drowning, lapping up her loveliness.
"Exquisite." He moaned as he placed lavish kisses against her gentle skin. No cloud or fur could compare to the softness of her skin as he made his way down her body.
Hermione was on fire, every touch ignited her internal burning flame higher and higher, to the point she thought that she would spontaneously combust with lust.
Words choked out of her mouth, unable to form any comprehendable sentence, his name was the only thing that made sense.
"Severus!" She cried as they finally became one.
He cradled her face and spoke only words of sweet nothingness as they both danced the age old dance of love.
She panted.
He groaned.
She felt Devine, and it was all too much.
His body stiffened and with a sharp breath he stilled.
Hermione watched as Severus reached the peak, it really was the most erotic thing she had ever whiteness in her life.
After they had both cleaned themselves up, Hermione snuggled up to Severus.
"Wow!" She said, "That was..."
"The most happiest moment of my life to date."
"Well Severus, I hope we can continue to create happy moments like that."
At that Severus's libido was beginning to activate once again.
"I'm sure my witch, that can most definitely be arranged."
