bloom rushed down to Severus' chambers, her heart in her throat. She had tried to contact him, but he was fully occluded, and something about the feeling of his leaking emotions terrified her beyond anything she'd ever heretofore experienced with him. Her palm had stopped burning, but it was replaced with a sensation that bloom could only associate with hopelessness. As she entered his chambers, she was struck by two things; the smell of alcohol, and the lack of light. She found Severus slumped in his chair, a glass of whisky in his hand. He did not look up when she walked in.

"Back from the infirmary already, firefly? Clean bill of health? All ready for fun and games?" slurred severus

"Severus, what's wrong?" asked bloom

"Step into my parlor, said the serpent to the warrior pixie," said severus

severus drunkenly he couldn't thing of what to do now. He was given something he was forced to do, severus giving her a conspiratorial smile. He rose unsteadily to his feet and laughed at her, beckoning her closer, his voice unfamiliar and unpleasant. Bloom was not sure what had happened while she was gone. But she was going to find out one way or another. And if it had to do with Dumbledore then they are going to be having words. Well once she was able to calm down severus.

"C'mon, c'mon, little fairy, I won't bite. I'm not that desperate, at any rate." Said sevreus

"Severus, please talk to me. You're drunk, and I want to know why." Demanded bloo,

He looked up at her with eyes that were bloodshot and red-rimmed from crying. Bloom was shock at what she was seeing. What the hell happened while she was getting checked out and visiting friends and family. And having a meeting with them to make plans for this years school year. Severus sighed he was going to lose her once she was able to find out what was tasked of him.

"You want? You want a lot, pixie, do you know that? I wanted a lot, too, but I keep wishing in one hand and shitting in the other, and I can't fail to notice which hand fills first!" said severus

Recoiling at the vehemence in his voice, bloom turned away to leave the room. A Sober-Up Potion was called for… Before she could take the first step, he was behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist. As if he was afirad of her leaving him. That was not something that she was doing. She was getting something that was going to help him out with his issue right now. And then they could talk to see why he was acting the way he is. And why he gotten drunk in the first place.

"Don't leave me! Please, bloom! I'm sorry! Please don't. I couldn't bear to know I pushed you away again." Cried severus

bloom turned and wondered what the hell happened. Why was severus so vulnerable as if there was something that was asked of him that he was not given the choice to back out of. It was either the dark lord or dumbledor. And she was going to find out one way or another, and Severus sank to his knees, burying his face against her robes. Clinging to her that she would disappear on him.

"I'm frightening you. I'm sorry, bloom. I'm just so… Please don't go, Please don't leave me…Oh gods, I can't bear this alone!" cried severus

"I'm not. I won't! You won't be alone! I'm just going into the toilet. I'm not leaving you. I promise." Said bloom

bloom waited until he released her from his tight grip, and walked to his bathroom. She opened the cabinet that held his potions and reached for three neatly-labelled bottles. Walking back into the room, bloom realized with alarm he was sobbing pitifully, his face buried in his hands. Running to his side, bloom knelt, put her arms around him and rocked him.

"Please, Severus, please! Please tell me what's wrong … let me try to make it right!" said bloom

"You can't, you can't! Please go away and forget me, bloom! I'm a dead man! I'm a dead man!" cried severus

"What?" asked bloom

Bloom froze wondering why he was going to be a dead man for. As if there was a task was given to him and he didn't wish to do it. She was going to find out one ways or another. She tried to open one of the vials of potion, but he wouldn't let her. He was holding on to her arms painfully. Bloom sighed and knew this is his way of coping with whatever he was dealing with. So she was going to have to be careful with him. This reminded her of loki when she saved him from mind control. And oden was going to make him suffer.

"Please, bloom, if you want a chance for any happiness in your life, it will not be with me! Just go now, go and forget the name Severus Snape!" cried severus

bloom had never felt so afraid, not even when Severus had carried her into the infirmary, and she thought she was going to die. Using her teeth, she pulled the cork from the vial, and, pinching his nose closed, ruthlessly forced the potion down his throat. Without waiting to see if one vial was enough, she repeated the process with the second. The Sober-Up worked quickly, and Severus blinked as his head cleared of the copious amount of whisky he'd ingested in the short few minutes before bloom had arrived. He looked at his witch, and his tears began anew. Almost helplessly, he jumped to his feet, pacing like a caged animal.

"He's done it. The old bastard has done it." Growled severus

severus sounded angry and hurt, and underneath it all, frightened out of his wits. bloom was terrified for her lover. He was irrational, his black eyes gleaming with rage and grief and something bloom couldn't define. His face was covered in tears and mucous, but he didn't bother trying to clean it. Trying to quell her own fear, bloom grasped his arms and forced him to stop. Speaking in a low voice, as if to calm a wild beast,

"Severus, I realize something unspeakable has happened, but I cannot help you unless you talk to me. Severus, for fuck sake, if you love me, tell me what has happened!"

The wordloveseemed to be the only thing strong enough to reach into the depths of his despair. It snagged deep down and pulled him back to the surface. He sagged, and bloom caught him and led him back to the sofa, where he slid down until he was lying against her breast. It was several moments before he could speak. He shuddered and groaned, his body twisting as if in pain. bloom held him, tears streaming from her own eyes at his agony.

"It will be well, Severus. It will be well. I willmakeit so." Said bloom

Severus calmed. For several moments the room was quiet, save his occasional sniffle. He relaxed a little in her arms, and when she shifted, and pressed him to her, he leaned in and sighed. It was the harsh, inconsolable sigh of a heartbroken, motherless child, and Hermione could hear herself in it as well. Finally, in a voice devoid of any emotion, he said quietly, "

You would, wouldn't you? Move heaven and earth to save me? Merlin knows why. I'm not worth it!" said severus

"Stop it, Severus! This is old ground, and we've no time to cover it! Tell me now, and we can make this right!" said bloom

Severus drew himself up to full height as if she'd physically slapped him. For a moment, he looked like the imposing, dour Potions master of her younger days …the wizard who could, and did, reduce her to tears with a carefully worded, beautifully uttered cruel remark. His voice was quiet, and expressionless.

"What if you can't? What if I tell you that Dumbledore has destroyed me, and you will be destroyed as a result of it?" asked severus

bloom pondered his words, and realized that what he was about to reveal would change things so irrevocably that she would wake tomorrow and look and behave like a different person entirely. What the hell did Dumbledore do now. Its as if there was something that is missing. Severus sighed and knew bloom was here to help him. He knew that bloom would not give up until she helped him.

"Then I will tell you that nothing is impossible! We're two powerfully magical folk. We can be well, plus we have the others as well. Severus. But you must tell me what happened, and wewillresolve it together." bloom

"I do not know that we can. He has signed my death warrant today, along with his ownI am to be the sacrificial lamb, bloom. I am to place my head in the noose for the Greater Good." Said severus

severus looked at her and hoped she would understand what he was trying to tell her, his eyes bleak with misery, and the absence of the hope that had so recently bloomed there caused bloom's heart to cramp. bloom took his hand, shaking her head. And smiled at him and was trying to make him understand what she was trying to do. She leaned forward and kissed him fervently, and he returned the kiss with desperate longing. Gently breaking away, bloom covered his face in tiny kisses, and he turned his face to her gratefully, like a man feeling the sun after a long darkness. bloom reached for the last vial, and silently handed the Calming Draught to him.

"You're not thinking clearly. We WILL resolve this. We WILL defeat this." Said bloom

bloom stroked his head tenderly, as he drank down the faint blue liquid. As the potion took effect, he took a deep breath, and looked at his witch. Though tears stood in his eyes, he allowed the potion to do its job, and bloom could almost see him physically pulling himself together. severus eyes softened, and the chaos and terror that had made him flee to his room to polish off almost a complete bottle of Firewhisky lessened its hold around his chest.

"Whatever happens, bloom, I have made promises to you. I won't break them. I love you. Gods, this is a fucked up life! All I want is for us to have a little chance at happiness. It is too much to fucking ask?" snapped sevreus

"I love you, Severus. Wewillbe well, Tell me, Severus. Start from the beginning." Said bloom

Bloom smiled as she laid severus down to sleep. When he was finally asleep bloom was going to go to Dumbledore. And she was going to find out what he had asked him of doing. She would protect severus with everything in her. Even if she died doing so. She was not letting that bastard use him. She cant do much with the dark lord right now. But she can protect severus from Dumbledore. And that is what she was going to do. He was going to get the business one she made her way up to his office.

Meanwhile a little while later

bloom was walking toward the Headmaster's office, seething with resentment, her face suffused with fury. Back in his chambers, Severus was sleeping under the strongest dosages of Calming Draught and Dreamless Sleep that could be prescribed for a wizard of his age and weight. bloom hissed the password and ran up the stone steps. She walked straight in to the Headmaster's study. When he looked up, he smiled. If he was surprised to see her, he did not show it. Nor did he bother to hide his cursed hand.

"Hello, Miss kushiki. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" asked dumbledore

"The pleasure of this visit? Very simple, Headmaster. Insurance." Said bloom

bloom sat back, almost breathless from pouring her heart out into what was most surely the gutter. Dumbledore had listened without speaking, his eyes occasionally straying from hers, but snapping back when she made a salient point, or mentioned Harry's name. It had not been a pleasant conversation in any way, and bloom felt the slight sickness that comes with knowing you've set yourself upon a course that can neither be deviated from nor returned to afterward. Once she'd finished, Professor Dumbledore merely looked at her for several minutes. His gaze was calm and as confident as she tried to feel. Finally, he replied,

"Do you not realize I could Obliviate you, princess bloom? You would walk out of my study having no knowledge of any of this." Said dumbledore

"If you could, you wouldn't have threatened me with it, and you will have another war on your hands that you cant win. Professor, you would already have done it. You don't have the strength, and ultimately, you need me." Said bloom

Bloom eyes narrowed at him as if he was going to understand that he was going to fuck up if he dared to fuck with her memory. As her hated to berate an old, sick wizard, but she had to protect Severus; she had to protectthem. She fully intended to save Harry, but she would first have to save her wizard in order to do it. Professor Dumbledore looked at her with a mixture of awe and disdain.

"Why are you doing this?' asked dumbledore

"Because someone has to look out for that man's life, and it isn't you! You have used him enough, Professor!" hissed bloom

"And what areyoudoing, princess bloom?" asked dumbledore

"I'm saving him! Something you are disinclined to do! He's worth saving, even though you don't think so. I want him to have a life after this war." Said bloom

"He will have a better one as a martyr. He will die a hero's death, and his life will be honored. If he lives through this, everyone will remember him as a spy and a traitor to both sides … he'll be a pariah!" said dumbledore

"That's a chance we'll have to take … a chance he won't have if he follows your plan. You can't leave him like this! You have to give him a reason to live! Please, Professor, you know and I know he's worth ten of any wizard world! You cannot send him like a lamb to the slaughter for anyone … even Harry!" said bloom

"We all must all do our part for the great .." said dumbledore

"I refuse to listen to that bullshit! If you had your way, you'd do it yourself, but you need Severus and Harry to die for your precious cause!" snapped bloom

Bloom was getting angry. And it was never good if you piss off bloom. Severus was going to be protected. She was going to live through this with severus and her friends and family. Yes her daughter is fighting for harry. She was only helping since her daughter had asked her. She even called in the trix. They made peace after a long time battle. And came good friends. They have taught her a great many things in magic.

"You forget your place, princess bloom." Said dumbledore

The Headmaster's eyes were cold and thunderous, but bloom stared him down, until he finally broke her gaze. She was not going to put up with his shit. And he dared to say she should know her place. Dumbledore shivered he knew he was playing with fire with bloom and her family and friends. But for now he was going to challenge her. Even though he needed their help in this war.. he knew that they are going to be needed for harry if he decided to well as they say it wimp out.

"Grant me what I ask. Firstly, you will put your best teacher on DADA… Severus. We need the best wizard for the job to teach us how to win this war. That is not open for discussion. It will convince the Dark Lord even more of your determination to defeat him, and make your death all the sweeter to him." Demanded bloom

"Agreed. I had thought as much myself." Said Dumbledore

"Secondly, you will treat me as if nothing has happened. I will deal with Harry myself. You will NOT interfere with Severus and me, or we will go." Said bloom

"He vowed to obey me. To do anything to save Lily…" said dumbledore

"No, Professor. He vowed to do anything in exchange for you keeping Lily safe, and you didn't. Don't rewrite the story," said bloom

Bloom was wondering what he was going to do next. Because she was not going to put up with this shit from this man. She would yank her daughter out of this school. she is already not a student. Just pretending to be a student. Dumbledore knew he was playing with fire still. This was something that he knew from the start of this conversation. Plus she used kido on him to make him stay in place. He knew that he was going to have to negotiate with her.

" To make sure everything was in place so that Harry could fulfil his destiny," said dumbledore

"Oh, and we all know how wellthatwent. I have admired you from the moment I stepped foot in this school, Professor Dumbledore, but you're no saint. You don't give a damn about the individuals you use, Professor, as long as they do your bidding for the bloody Greater Good. You're no better than Tom Riddle!" hissed bloom

"He brought that on himself, princess bloom. He made his deal with the devil, and was cast out of paradise." Said dumbledore

"You could say the same for yourself, and you're a grown wizard. Severus was just a boy, a vulnerable boy whose feelings had been hurt, whose heart had been broken, and you shamelessly used all of that to make him your weapon, and you even had the nerve to make him believe you were doing him a favor. You have used him for the last time. This last deed cancels all debts to you." Hissed bloom

Professor Dumbledore looked at the young fairy princess and attempted to Legilimize into her mind. To his surprise, her occlusions were very tensile and subtle, almost elegant. Severus had taught her this, he realized, and his admiration for both of them reluctantly rose. Sensing his probing thoughts, bloom allowed the professor access to that which she deigned appropriate for the old wizard to see. Looking into her mind, Dumbledore saw that she was as loyal and strong as any wizard or witch he'd ever known. Not for the first time, he wished that destiny had chosen her as his champion, instead of the boy. Harry, good-hearted and earnest as he was, was no match in out and out ferocity and cunning to this little princess.

"Don't flatter yourself, Professor. House traits mean very little at this stage of the game. Give me the documents I need. I'm taking him in the morning." Said bloom

The Headmaster rose slowly, bloom let go of her kido on him. and bloom felt a pang in her heart that she'd been so cold with him. She reminded herself that he'd brought the curse upon himself when he placed the ring on his finger, hoping that it would bring him power. He had known all the while that it was death and destruction, but the lure of it was too great even for the Great Dumbledore. Now the curse was poisoning his system, and he had perhaps a year left.

"We'll make sure your little scheme is carried out, Professor, but you will not make Severus your martyr. If I hear wind of it, I'll make sure we'll go so far underground neither you nor Voldemort ever find us." Hissed bloom

"I should have made him take an Unbreakable Vow." Said dumbledore

"Incredible. You would have, wouldn't you? But you couldn't risk another's involvement to invoke the vow, could you? You had to keep your schemes to yourself." Hissed bloom

"So that Tom couldn't discover them!" said dumbledore

"More like so that you could keep you minions in order!" said bloom

Dumbeldore cant believe this little princess fairy was getting everything she wanted out of him. So this was his choice to bring her in on this one. Plus he cant treat her as a real student since she is not and only pretending to be for her daughter sake. It was something he found good in her. Plus she graduated early before fairy school. bloom was not going to be backing down from this.

"Your lover said almost the exact same thing to me not a year ago. You are a formidable duo. A dangerous one." Said dumbledore

"Only when you threaten us, Professor. But we can be dangerousforyou. We are sworn to do the right thing, and we're doing it for the right reasons. I'm not one to be messed with. Me and my family are very powerful and will destroy you if you fuck with what is ours." Hissed bloom

"The two of you, then, must help Harry in his quest." Said dumbledore

Bloom growled and eyes narrowed angrily. Proudly, she drew herself up to full height. She was not happy about what was going on. Hell this is probably why the ministry was so worried about Dumbledore. Hell she should of taken her daughter out if this school a long time ago if she knew the knowledge she has right now. Dumbledore sighed and knew that he was really crossing the line with bloom right now. But there is a war that needed to be finished. And she knew all to well what people have to do to finish a war.

"One or the other of us has been doing that since he was born, Professor. We're not about to stop now, What you've never seemed to grasp, Professor Dumbledore, is that there are ways to accomplish that without adding more deaths." Said bloom

"Other than my own." Said dumbledore

"That cannot be visited on Tom Riddle, Professor, as much as you'd like it to be." Said bloom

Dumbledore gave bloom a look that could almost have been considered devious. Bloom would snicker at the very slytherin way Dumbledore was acting right now. But she has business to discuss with Dumbledore and she was not going to leave until she get the point acrossed and what she wanted to know from him. And her warning of what will happened if he crossed the line with her and her family and friends. They have been itching to get to Dumbledore lately.

"You know that Severus is in love with Lily Evans, Harry's mother?" asked dumbledore

"Now tell me what we need to know to start preventing that … from taking you over, and more importantly, to keep the same thing from happening to anyone else." Said bloom

The Headmaster regarded her for so long bloom thought he would not answer. He liked bloom she was fiece and feisty. But he knew she is perfect for severus. Bloom sighed and wondered if she was going to get anywhere with him. Dumbledore sighed and knew that he has no choice but to tell her what was going on. And the things that harry is going to have to find and destroy.

"Have you heard of a Horcrux, princess bloom?" asked dumbledore

"No. What is it?" asked bloom

Professor Dumbledore sighed, and reached into a large box. He withdrew a fine leather pouch and gave it to the young princess. bloom opened it; it looked to be roughly several hundred galleons. He waved his hand toward the leather bag. Bloom wondered what in the world this is about. And what so important about these things that he was talking about. As if they are important to destroying and ending the war. Bloom sighed and waited to see If Dumbledore is going to explain.

"We can discuss Horcruxes when you return. That should be enough for you to do what you have to do. I promise you, princess bloom, I will still be here when you return. We will discuss Horcruxes then. In the meantime, Think of it as a gift." Said Dumbledore

"I have to go and wake Severus. We have a lot to discuss. I'm truly sorry to be so harsh. But harsh times call for harsh actions. I cannot let him go. Not now." Said bloom

"The time for apologies and remorse is behind us, I fear. Insurance, princess bloom. This is our bargain, and I expect you to hold up your end of it." Said dumbledore

Bloom stiffened her spine like the captain she is. She would have to ask research and development if they knew anything on the stuff Dumbledore was talking about, and she was unsurprised to feel her heart stutter in her chest. She was committed now. There was no turning back, and bloom found, to her unbounded relief, she did not want to turn back. Now that she had committed herself, there was no more conflict, or indecision. But she nodded to him.

---

Meanwhile a few hours later

Severus slowly drifted to the surface of sleep, stretching fully, trying to shake off the residue of the Dreamless Sleep still in his system. Bloom had given him no choice but to take it, and he hated the feeling of coming out of it. He stood up slowly, swung his long legs over the bed, and leaned forward, his head in his hands. Plus it seemed she made her sword spirits sit and watch over him. So the Dark Lord's revenge was Draco. Killing Dumbledore. Gods, what a mess. Severus rubbed his face, feeling the day's growth of stubble rasping against his hands. He had known the moment he started trying to heal the curse that it was no use. The sheer magic that had drained from him into the wound told Severus it was impossible to curb the effects of the curse.

It had physically sickened him to see it crawling up Dumbledore's arm, blackening the veins on the old man's thin arms. He had managed to contain it and lessen the advancement of the curse, even so much as to draw it all back down into the headmaster's hand. And of course, Dumbledore would not see Poppy, who might have been able to aid Severus in slowing the curse down. Oh no; the secrets could not be allowed to permeate beyond him…. Bloom. Muramasa and Suzaku was reading their books that they took from his shelves. He didn't know they liked to read.

He thought of bloom. She would be his deity now. The one light in his life. The only light that had sought him out, and deigned to saturate him, to purge the darkness from his soul. And what had he done? He'd played true to form once again. He'd only gone and swallowed most of a bottle of Ogden's Firewhisky and lecherously hit on her the moment she walked in the door. He was damned lucky she hadn't hexed him six ways to Sunday and run screaming from the room, never to return. He had acted no better than Sirius Black at his drunken worse.

And being the princess of sparks and other places, bloom had forgiven him. His self-hatred settled in like iron, stiffening his aching limbs and weighing him down so that climbing out of bed became impossible. The very fact that he was mentally deriding her capacity for love, after all she'd done, said some pretty sick things about his state of mind. bloom reached out and gently brushed his tangled, oily hair from his eyes, and smiled down at him with such tenderness his heart ached. What had he really ever done to make this fairy love him so?

"How do you feel? Muramasa and Suzaku you can go back to the soul socitey." said bloom

"I feel as if I'm getting ready to walk a rather steep, very short road." Said severus

bloom sniffed from what he had just said. While her two sword spirits left to go back to the soul socitey. He looked at her carefully. She'd been crying; that was evident. But there was also something else in her eyes. It was a cautious, chary sort of resolve. It made him feel faintly curious and the fact that he still could make himself care was a miracle, in and of itself.

"Where have you been? You look like you're… up to something." Said severus

"Severus, I've been speaking to the headmaster." Said bloom

"About what? Surely, everything that was needed to be said has already been there, There's nothing left to do but to let this little tragedy play itself out." Said severus

"Severus, what you cannot do is wallow! I need you to be strong for a little while longer, and then I'll take over." Said bloom

Severus looked at his fairy with an expression of such confusion bloom almost laughed. Bloom sighed as if he didn't get what she was meaning. Even though she is the most powerful one in this relationship. Severus was wondering what the hell did she get herself into now. Yes he knew she could be able to handle it. Because she handled things far worst

"my fairy, what in Merlin's name are you babbling about? Take over what?" demanded severus

"Professor Dumbledore and I had a very long talk. I forced him to tell me the entire story, and I told him you would NOT be facing a firing squad or Azkaban. But you're going to have to dust off your Muggle suit one more time." Said bloom

Severus let what she has just said sink in. then starting to look down at the little fairy, Severus reached out and tucked a wayward hair behind her ear. With something like his old smirk, bloom smiled and hope he would like the idea. Yes it was something that she should of done for him. And she was not going to stop. She was going to protect the man she loved. Severus sighed and wondered what she gotten herself into from the old coot. He will kill him if he dared to harm her in any way, because he knew that old coot and crazy as they come.

"And why, pray tell, do I need to do that, my little problem solver?" asked severus

For the first time since she'd entered the room, bloom was unshakable confidence diminished. Unsmiling, she reached into her robe and, taking his left hand, she placed a ring on his finger. He looked down at her, nonplused. bloom smiled, and took a deep, courage-giving breath. She had to go and find on in the vault back home in sparks. One that made it look like it was made just for him. So she was going to take that.

"Severus Snape, will you marry me? And become my future king of sparks." Said bloom

Severus looked down at the ring on his left hand. It was a very expensive. It looked like a ancient right that was from a royal vault. It was onix with onix stones and rubies. He had to say it was very beautiful. But he felt power in it. It was as if it is boosting his powers. Bloom smiled to him. He noticed the power in the ring. That was something that she did. She put a lot of power in that ring. Severus stared at the ring for at least a minute. His mind appeared to have shut down at bloom's question,

"Will you marry me?" asked bloom

severus was so unnerved he could neither accept nor decline. Breathing in and out seemed to be the extent of what his brain was willing to coordinate at this moment. bloom watched him with growing dismay. She was not exactly sure what she expected his reaction to her proposal tobe, but staring into space was not it. The longer he sat there, blinking in shocked silence at the sight of her father's ring sitting snugly on his finger, the surer Hermione was that Severus was going to reject her proposal. It had never occurred to her that he would say no. Of all the scenarios going through her head on the way down to his chambers, a rejection was not on the list. She placed a trembling hand on his arm. Lightly, she said,

"Severus? I know it's a little unusual for a woman to propose to a man, especially one of my blood lines. but it is customary when one's hand is requested in marriage to respond one way or the other." Said bloom

"What in Merlin's name do you think you're playing at?" asked severus

"I'm asking you to marry me. And become my king." Said bloom

"Are you mad, little fairy? In the midst of all of this, you want to plan a wedding?" said severus

Bloom huffed, and hauled herself off the stone floor. She sat down beside him on the bed. She wondered if he didn't want that sort of thing. But her parents and her other blood adopted parents wanted it so she was going to go for it. Severus sighed, yes this was something he always wanted. But he was in shock that it was asked of him. Bloom must of asked her family about this and they agreed. But this was odd for him. He would be her king and she would be his queen when the time came around. But was it the right time for this sort of thing. A war going on, is it time for a marriage.

"No, you daft man! We don't have time for that! Are you sure you're fully awake from the Dreamless Sleep?" said bloom

"Perhaps I'm still a little confused. bloom, what exactly is happening here? I feel as if I'm in a dream." Said severus

"I suppose I did rather spring it on you, didn't I?" said bloom

Bloom giggled a little bit at her embarrassment. But she did kinda did bring it on him a kinda bit. And with the weight of being a king in the future is a bigger one on him. Severus sighed and shrugged. This was something that he never thought would happen to him. Even though he wished for it. Bloom frowned as if she was thinking he was going to reject it. But she would see his home and soon would be her home during the war. But it was not suited for her likes. But this was the best he could do for the time being.

"Putting a ring on my finger and asking me to marry you is a dirty great spring, is it not?" asked severus

"I suppose it is, but I've had all afternoon to come up with this plan, and I think I've done is a wedding present to us, of sorts." Said bloom

"From?" asked severus

"Dumbledore. Now, I have completed all the documentation that we need. All I need is for you to Confund the registrar into believing that we've been there earlier in the month to start the paperwork, and that you were there seven days ago to finalize it." Said bloom

"Sorry …. bloom, would you please stop babbling and start from the beginning? Why did Dumbledore give us a bag of galleons as a wedding present? We started the paperwork last month forwhat? Confund the registrar into believing we've beenwhere? This is making no sense, firefly. Where iswhere?" asked severus

"Gretna Green." Said bloom

Bloom sighed and knew severus was still in shock over everything.. maybe she should let him think over this. It would be a great union. But the king part was not a good one to put on his shoulders right now. But she had to put it in there because that would be what he would be if he married her. Severus didn't know what to think on this.. it was something that he must think on before saying yes.

---

Meanwhile a little while later

Severus paced up and down in his bedchambers, as bloom told him her plan for the third time. He was frantically trying to pierce holes in it, to find the chink in the armor of it. He could not. It was completely sound. It was not that the idea of being married to bloom and become her king was unsavory. Quite the opposite: he just could not fathom why she'd want to marryhim of all people and become a royal. Dumbledore's latest stunt had set his hard-won hope back so far, he couldn't see any point. He was slated to kill Dumbledore. If they were married, bloom would be seen as an accessory to the deed. He himself was slated to be killed in the war, and bloom would become a pariah.

"I can't allow that to happen." Said severus

"What? Can't allow what to happen?" asked bloom

"I can't allow you to be remembered as 'the traitor's widow'! You are one of the so-called! One of Harry Potter's best friends mother! You cannot throw away your life by marrying me!" said severus

"Listen to me …" said bloom

Bloom was trying to get him to listen to her. She should of figured he would act like this. It was something that was him when things like this come around in his life. But she was going to make him listen to her. And make him understand this was not a stupid scheme. Severus sighed how could she think such a thing. Yes he read all the letters from her friends and family. And not one from hermione because it seemed they are going to leave her out of this one until the end of the war.

"I've listened! Your little scheme is madness manifested! Now, you will listen to me, fairy!" said severus

Bemused, bloom watched him resume his pacing. And his ranting and raving. On how this was not a good idea. She knew he needed to get this out of him. It was something that she took notice early on. Running a shaking hand through his oily hair, he didn't know what to think. He would be a king and a step father. It was a lot to think on. But for now he needed to finish what he was saying. This was a dream of his that to have her fully his and only his. That was a huge dream on his.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous this is for you … for both of us? Yes I know you have loads experience in wars and battles. But the Dark Lord will find out, and use you like a whip over my head! Not to mention the purebloods like Malfoy and Bellatrix! They'll eat you for dinner, little firefly! I'm supposed to take the life of the closest thing to a father I've ever known because he has named me his murderer, just as the Dark Lord named Potter as his. All the pieces must fall in the right order or the game is lost!" ranted severus

"This is not a game, Severus! That's Dumbledore talking! It doesnothave to be that way. We can either be masters of our own destiny, or slaves to it! We can do this, but you have to trust me. You have to live. I can keep you safe as my husband, my future king, but not as my lover. And most of all my children love you, well except for hermione but she would come around sooner or later." Said bloom

Severus looked at his fairy, and he felt his resolve crumbling. The planwasflawless. The logicwassound. Every twisting, turning, backstabbing piece of it was perfectly placed, perfectly timed. It could work. And in the end, they could escape. Far away, where no one could find them. A hideaway … well bloom has plenty of hideaways and different places that they could hide and seal off the realms until things are over. But the fear. Fear was the catalyst to his hesitation. It always had been. Next to this courageous witch, with her unshakable faith in him, he was the worst sort of sniveling coward. Severus believed with all his heart that, in his rather long list of character flaws, cowardice was the worst, and the one he most hated to acknowledge. Cowardice had been his downfall. He had nursed it, cradled it to his bosom, and protected it, so that he could flagellate himself with it, when faced with situations like the one before him now.

"bloom, I beg you to give this more serious consideration. Not for my sake, but for yours. What will happen to you when I …"

Severus gasped as his Dark Mark suddenly flared to life. They broke apart. Bloom sighed she would have to wait for him to come back for this to continue. Severus had a feeling the dark lord wanted something and maybe someone let him in on what was going on with the plans bloom had just said. She would always have the gift stella gave her. It was the same transport to dimension like her. But hers is like fire instead of the sun.

"Oh, gods, this bastard's timing! I have to go! I have to, firefly!" said severus

bloom stood, panting, sweat popping out from her forehead. Her hand felt as if nails were being driven through it. She looked at her smooth, unblemished palm, and held her wrist. Tears of pain sprang into her eyes. She was feeling what he was feeling. She would of never knew what it felt like. That bastard is a sick fucker for making the followers feel such pain. Well maybe the sick freaks that like the pain. But severus didn't it seemed.

"Is this how it feels?" asked bloom

"I'm sorry! I had no idea you would feel it through the blood oath!" said severus

"I know you didn't! Of course, you have to go now," said bloom

bloom running to his room to fetch his robes and the hideous mask. Periodically, the pain would swell, until it was almost unbearable. If it was this excruciating to her, how much more so must it be to him? As Severus shrugged on the hated Death Eater robe, a bright flash of light burst into the room. A silvery Patronus, in the form of a delicate leopard, followed in the wake of the light. It gracefully crossed the room to speak to Severus. bloom was stunned to hear the clipped, imperious tones of Narcissa Malfoy issue from its mouth.

"Severus, I have been requested by the Dark Lord to ask you bring your … companion, Miss Granger. He wishes to see you both. Today's is to be a private meeting." Said narcissa

"Thank you, Narcissa. We will see you shortly." Said severus

The Patronus vanished, and the two of them looked at one another, horrified. bloom was stunned. Why would he wished to see her. But she was not going to show no weakness in front of him, severus sighed this was not going to be good. And not going to be good for bloom. But he knew she could handle it. If she could make Dumbledore fear her then so be it. She was stuck in this now. They are together in this.

"Severus, why would he want me to come with you?" asked bloom

"I don't know, firefly. We have no choice but to obey him. We'll go and tell Albus, and …" said severus

"Come here, firefly." Said severus

seveus drew her into his arms, and plundered her mouth, his lips urgent and demanding. He kissed her passionately, as if claiming her. He grasped the back of her head, and penetrated her tender mouth, forcing his tongue deeply into the warm, moist haven. She responded wildly, with a feral moan, and flicked her tongue over the roof of his mouth, and he answered her with a growl of passion. They fused together, and Severus pressed against her, pulling her off her feet, their bodies hot and needy, devouring one another. Severus whimpered against her soft, warm tongue, frantically trying to draw the flavor of her into his mouth, to remember, and be comforted. She tasted of tea and tears, and their tongues danced and twined. Severus' kisses were passionate and breathtaking, and his demanding mouth left her gasping and mewling helplessly. Hermione, her hands clutching at his body, was mapping his very being, committing him to memory, tasting, touching, in case…..

"bloom …firefly, I don't know if we'll .. " said severus

"It will be well, Severus," said bloom

Severus kissed her forehead, her cheeks, her eyes. She was so frightened, and it moved Severus that she was trying to be brave. Severus knew he had to pull himself together or they would both be lost. Her fear strengthened his resolve. He had to be strong, to protect his fairy. Plus he knew she could get out of there with her dimension traveling thing. But he needed to prepare her before they go to the dark lord. This would be the first time seeing the well thing in person.

"bloom, focus. We have trained every day for this very contingency. We can survive this. And when we walk away from him tonight, bloom I will take you to Gretna Green, my brave girl. I will be honored to be your husband and your future king." Said severus

bloom looked up into the face of this imposing, aloof man, and gave a deep sigh of happiness. She leaned against him. She knew that this was something they needed to do and now she was going to be wearing her mothers wedding gown. The wedding would be on sparks and then they would come back here to his house and do what married people. She would have to place her powers around the house and her own wards that the dark lord would not find out. Since family and friends would come and go.

---

Meanwhile a little while later

As Severus walked bloom up the path to the remote manor that served as the Dark Lord's secret abode, he was struck by her absolute trust in him, and despite her terror. He could sense her tremendous fear through their blood oath scar. Yet her mind was fully, obliquely occluded; try as he might, he could not winkle in through the tiniest fairy, he thought. Her courage stiffened his spine, and he felt calm stealing over him. He seen her walk regally like the princess she is.

He held her hand as they walked up the steps and through the door, which was held open by that odious rat, Peter Pettigrew. The little rodent of a wizard gaped at bloom, but Severus swept past him as if he were nothing more than a bit of rubbish on the floor. bloom followed suit. Once inside, Severus released bloom hand, and grasped her by the back of the neck, to convey his dominance and her submission. bloom could hear Wormtail, Ron's former pet, scuttling behind them, but she held her head high, remembering Severus' instructions on the way.

"Do not speak unless spoken to, and choose your words carefully. Don't be cowed by the Death Eaters; be very humble to the Dark Lord, but not toadying. You'll see enough of that to know what notto do." Said severus

Approaching the Sanctum Sanctorum of Voldemort's lair, bloom realized she might very well be walking to her death. Her chin lifted imperceptibly. If she were going to die, she wanted to show these pure-bloods how it was done. She is a princess and a fairy she wanted to show them that she can be superior as them. She was a powerful fairy and other things. She was loved. She would protect her mate. Reading her thoughts, Severus gave the back of her neck a little reassuring caress.

At the antechamber of the Dark Lord's receiving room, bloom saw Narcissa Malfoy and her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, standing to one side, talking desultorily. The last time Narcissa Malfoy had been in her presence, she'd looked at bloom as if she were dog muck. Bloom arched a brow as if you want to say something bitch. Severus sighed and knew that this was going to happened. He knew that they are jealous of the princess and that she is full blood fairy.

Bloom regarded the older woman carefully. She had to admit that Narcissa was honestly the only pure-blood witch who'd ever made bloom feel inferior. Her beauty and her natural grace seemed like an entitlement. Next to Narcissa's cool, blonde patrician poise, Bellatrix Lestrange, on the other hand, was the polar opposite of Narcissa. It confounded bloom that the two women were sisters; they hardly looked as if they could be related at all. As dark as her sister was light, Bellatrix seemed to bloom to be the embodiment of Dark magic. Bella was laughing the last time bloom had seen her; laughing, as Sirius Black fell through the veil at the Department of Mysteries. Bellatrix's lidded, dark eyes narrowed further when she recognized bloom, and she preened as she approached Severus, her walk sultry, her body language insolent and overly familiar.

"Severus! How kind of you to bring us your pet to play with, Yum, yum. Fairies on the menu tonight. Hungry, Sev?" said bellatrix

bloom met Bellatrix's gaze and was about to drop her eyes, but something prevented her. She saw something strange in the dark woman's mind. Like a bandit, bloom slipped in and was out so quickly Bellatrix had no time to register the invasion. It puzzled her, and she made a mental note to mention it to Severus. Severus' long nose wrinkled with distaste. Bloom show her displeasure. But she was not going to start a fight. That is what they wanted. They are testing her.

"I'm sure we can find you a saucer of milk, Bella, if you're peckish. Our Lord requested I bring my concubine, and she is overjoyed at the opportunity to pay her respects to the Dark Lord, and to thank him personally for his continued favor." Said narciss

The sound coming from the dark woman's lips was akin to a snarl, and she gave them both a thunderous look as she disappeared through a set of double doors. Severus ignored her, and turned to Narcissa Malfoy. He gave her an almost courtly bow, and took both her hands in his. He could feel her anger build up. He took the hand that was twitching to seen fire at them. Bloom sighed mentally and knew she was going to get out of this one way or another.

"Always lovely to see you, Narcissa. I hope you are well." said severus

"Thank you, Severus. I am well, as is Draco. Are you spending your summer at Spinner's End?" asked narcissa

"It is my intention. Why do you ask?" asked seveus

"The Dark Lord will see you now. You, and your …pet fairy." Saud narcuss

narcissa stared down at bloom as they walked by, bloom only glared at the woman. The woman is a narcissist. But there is more to her. She was trying to protect her child. That was her main reason to be putting up with the dark lord and her sister. Who is the dark lords whore. and bloom met her gaze with all the serenity she could muster, as they all entered the receiving room. The room was long and narrow, with an enormous, square table at the closest end. bloom surreptitiously looked around for others, and saw an honor guard of two Death Eaters, one on either side of a large chair that sat at the far end of the room. From within her mind, bloom felt Severus reach out to her.

---

"Calm yourself. I am with you. No matter what, I am with you. Always." Thought severus

---

Hearing his words of comfort, bloom relaxed, and focused her attention on the figure in the chair at the end of the room. Seated there was the creature that had terrified and paralyzed the entire Wizarding world. As bloom approached Lord Voldemort for the first time, she was struck by how fragile he looked. He was much shorter than Severus, only a little taller than, say, Harry, but he was weedy and thin, and looked so frail it was hard to believe the power the wizard commanded. bloom felt her heart-rate increase, and again she willed herself to relax. She knew the walls of her occluded mind were stronger when she was calm.

"Severus, how kind of you to join us this evening. I'm pleased you received my message, and brought your concubine." Said voldermort

As one, Severus and bloom bowed at the Dark Lord's feet, and touched the hem of his garment to their lips in unison. She was not going to look weak in front if the snake man. She better not blurt that though. Voldermort had to say princess bloom is beautiful. Wish he could have her for himself. But not the time to be thinking those things. But her child is harry potters best friend. And that would kill the golden trio.

"You and your companion move as one, Severus. Like dancers. Come forward, princess. Let us have a look at the young lady who has so warmed the blood of our dear Potions master." Said voldermort

bloom looked quickly at Severus, who imperiously gestured her to obey the Dark Lord. With a pounding heart, she stepped closer to the monstrous wizard, keeping her head lowered, until she heard Bellatrix's mocking laughter. In an obscene parody of baby-talk, Bella cooed,

"oh is the little fairy afraid." Saud bellatrix

"I would think that obvious, Mrs. Lestrange. Though I am little more than an infant in your service, My Lord, I have great respect for your power. I cannot afford the arrogance of fearlessness, My Lord, I am not a Pureblood. But a full blooded fairy and princess." Said bloom

"Why, you filthy little … " hissed bellatrix

"Bella, my darling, one must never be rude to a guest. Not often royalty is in front of us. Especially, when they are correct." Said voldemort

Severus could feel his heart pounding. He stole a glance at the Dark Lord, who was watching Hermione intently. Finally, Voldemort rose from his chair and cupped Hermione's chin in his smooth, dry hand. bloom met the Dark Lord's gaze, matching his with a calm, slightly aloof expression on her face. Severus felt his heart swell with pride, and fear drain from his body. His mind cleared of its panic.

"I must insist on manners, my dear Bellatrix, she is a princess after all. Our guest is here because she is the consort of my most trusted spy, and therefore she is my trusted spy as well. Your reputation precedes you, Miss kushiki." Said voldemort

bloom smiled at the Dark Lord. It was a knowing, sensuous smile, and Severus reached out to stroke her hair. He knew that smile and it never turned out to be good for anyones health if you receive that smile. He felt her relaxed almost imperceptibly. His touch, intimate and possessive, was not lost on the Dark Lord, who tilted his head, throwing his reptilian features into greater relief. He released bloom, and she stepped back to stand beside her lover, who stroked her cheek and playfully pinched bloom earlobe. She smiled up at him adoringly.

"What news, my dear Severus? Are you well?" asked voldemort

"I am quite well, My Lord, and I thank you for your concern," purred severus

"And what news do you bring me from Hogwarts, and our friend Albus?" asked Voldemort

Voldemort was waiting to hear from his spy. And what Dumbledore has been up to. But he is impressed to see the way this fairy carried herself. He never been up in front of a fairy royal before. And this was interesting to him. Bloom knew she could not attack. But for now she was going to impresss the dark lord. And make him think she was on his side. Severus was thrilled that bloom is so experienced in this type of thing.

"The headmaster has assigned me to the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Said severus

"Excellent news, Severus. After all these years, he is finally acknowledging your worth. I'm sure it is very gratifying, albeit twenty years too late." Said voldemort

Severus did not bother to hide the bitterness in his eyes. He had begged for the post for years. It had always been Dumbledore's subtle punishment, to deny Severus the position he'd desired the most, only to taunt him with a series of the worst sort of bungling fools to stumble their way through a classroom. Lupin had been passable, but the years of animosity had clouded Severus' judgment….

"Potter is with his Muggle relatives and therefore protected, but he plans to spend part of the summer with the blood traitor Weasleys. Dumbledore has confided in me that when the school term resumes, he plans to give Potter 'special lessons' in Defense. He will tell no one the extent or form these 'special lessons' will take. He grows more frightened with each passing day that Potter will fail in his quest." Said severus

"It must be devastating for Albus, knowing his champion is quite unsuitable for the task." Said voldemort

"Indeed, Sire. The question of Potter failing is no longer 'if', but 'when', My Lord. I predict that 'when' will be this year." Said severus

"This is positive news indeed. I, too, believe that this will be the year that all the pieces will fall into place." Said Voldemort

Bloom was watching the interaction between snake face and severus. He's good he's real good at what he does.. maybe she could teach him some of her knowledge. But not the time to be thinking such things right now. Severus was hoping to get out of this alive. While Voldemort was ogling his beloved bloom. Oh this is not good when the dark lord sees something that he liked. It made his feel sick.

"I must ask you, Severus … what is the band on your finger? Tell me. I'm … curious." Said voldemort

"A gift from bloom, My Lord. A token of her appreciation." Said severus

"Indeed? A ring is a very personal gift, my dear. Come, tell me about this token of love." Said voldemort

bloom looked into the Dark Lord's reptilian eyes, and within her mind, she heard Severus' voice. bloom dropped to her knees, and looked up at Voldemort, her expression rapturous. While everyone was in shock at what they were seeing. A royal is bowing down to the dark lord. This was odd to them. Voldemort saw how graceful she was. And the beauty of her face and body. No wonder severus wanted her so bad. She is a rear gem. And a good warrior for them.

"My Lord, firstly, I would like to thank you for asking me to accompany my Master today." Said bloom

bloom looked up into his eyes, and she opened herself to the Dark Lord. She felt his slimy violation into her mind. She had prepared for this; it seemed like she'd planned for this moment since the first time Severus Legilimized into her mind. She allowed certain images to appear before the Dark Lord; she and Severus, kissing, their mouths fused together … Severus' hand sliding down her undies as they watched themselves in the mirror … Hermione straddling him … screaming in passion … facing Harry, angry, resentful, trying unsuccessfully to convince Harry about Sirius Black, tearing at her back, mounting her … Severus, rescuing her from Black, carrying her to the infirmary to stem Dolohov's curse … Dumbledore placating Harry, defending Sirius … All the images she revealed were true, if embellished somewhat. Each was at least grounded in reality.

Now bloom pushed open a door in her mind, beckoning the Dark Lord to follow, and he obliged. bloom showed him a 'memory' of Severus, comforting her after Dumbledore accused her of lying to Harry; Hermione placing Severus' hands on her belly, as he smiled at her with lust and ownership; the two of them in quiet discussion, as they spoke of their anger and betrayal at the hands of Potter and Dumbledore; and their commitment to destroy them … Finally, after what seemed an eternity, bloom felt the cleansing release of Voldemort leaving her mind. For a moment, he watched her intently, almost hungrily. He turned to Bellatrix.

"Leave us … all of you." Ordered voldemort

Bellatrix gave bloom a look of pure, jealous hatred, as she and the two guards left the room. When Severus and bloom were finally alone with the Dark Lord, he regally sat back in his throne-like chair. For a moment, he regarded the two of them. Finally, he turned to the dark-haired wizard. She just needed to make sure that she didn't think of her sons that these fuckers killed. But for now they need to get out of here alive.

"How far along?" asked voldemort

"Two months gone, My Lord," said Severus

"I had heard rumors that Miss kushiki was with child. Our own Bella thought this might be why you were so … occupied at the Department of Ministries, Tell me Severus, why did you put your seed into your consort? To please her, or to ensure her complete submission to you, and her complete betrayal of Harry Potter and her daughter?" asked voldemort

Severus, still holding onto blooms hand, led them to their knees. They bowed at the Dark Lord's feet. He smiled demurely. Bloom sighed she really wished he would stop calling her his whore. She was starting to get pissed off. Severus squeezed her hand to let her know he will deal with this. Bloom closed her eyes and waited to see what was going to be next. Or what was going to be said next. This was all for show to make sure they don't get killed. So she was going to play along.

"You know me all too well, Sire. I had hoped this was the reason you requested her to accompany me. My concubine belongs to me now, Sire. Dumbledore and Potter and her daughter betrayed her. Black is dead and she cannot accuse him. She is my slave now, as you knew she would be when you removed all other … distractions from her life. You gave us the key, My Lord, when you freed her from her Muggle world. We believe, My Lord, that together we can facilitate the destruction of both Dumbledore and Potter and gringer, bloom still has access to the boy that few can afford, and Dumbledore is growing weaker and more paranoid as the days pass. Soon, he will be useless." Explained severus

Voldemort made a dismissive gesture with a skeletal hand. Voldemort was testing them. And they knew it. Bloom raised her head regally since she is a princess. And severus wished he would stop ogling his woman. Voldemort sighed she could be a pureblood with how she raised her head to show her regal statue. But she is a princess from another world. But that is not a bad thing she might be able to bring in people on her side and team up with his side.

"So I've heard, In the meantime, I understand Potter and granger is very distraught over the death of his godfather. I am sure, my dear, that you do not share his views." Said voldemort

"Sirius treated me no better than an animal, My Lord. I thought he was someone to be trusted, just as I thought Harry my daughter and Dumbledore could be trusted. I have no compassion for them anymore. They deserve your wrath," said bloom with cold blue eyes,

"Quite clever of you, Severus. You chose well with your little fairy princess. Albus betrays the girl's faith, and you avenge her by fucking her right under his nose. It would be a bitter blow indeed if Albus were to find out about Harry Potter's best friend who is her child, hiding her swollen belly under her demure school robes, while Potter's most hated professor bends that best friend over her desk between classes." Said voldemort

"She is quite the randy little minx, My Lord, the day you strike Potter down, I will happily fuck her over Potter's dead body, if it would please you to watch." Said severus

As if to illustrate, bloom kissed Severus' hand fervently, her eyes bright and full of desire. Bloom was kinda enjoying the play in front of the dark lord. The man is a moron. He is the dumbest bastard out there.. stupid snake face/ Severus looked down at her with a sneer. Voldemort laughed. He had ever enjoyed Severus' coarseness; it had creativity and finesse, something many of his minions lacked greatly. He reached forward and stroked Severus' face, almost sensuously, like a lover.

"Who would have thought such a clever little thing would have heated your blood so, Severus? I am pleased now, in any case. Not only does your little fairy share your hatred of Dumbledore and his anemic champion, Harry Potter, but she seems to have obviated the memory of Potter's mother from your mind as well. I had despaired that you would be forever mooning over your first love.I had once thought your misplaced loyalty might be a liability, perhaps one that Dumbledore would exploit, but I see my misgivings were unfounded. Of course, he would no doubt ship you to Azkaban before nightfall should he discover your little indiscretion. It would be a tragedy to have your lovely consort cast out, to fend for herself, as the discarded whore of a spy. Much better that we keep you protected, shielded from the dangers Albus and Harry Potter represent." Explained Voldemort

Voldemort eyes flashed as if he was pleased at everything that was going on. It made bloom feel sick on how he spoke of her. And how he killed her sons and yes her daughter did stab her in the back. But she needed to get out of this alive. Severus sighed mentally and knew that there wasn't much he could do. Other than put the show on for the dark lord like bloom is doing. And she is doing damn well great. She is a natural.

"Yes, this is valuable knowledge, Severus. But how can I use it? my dear, how can a half-blood spy and his fairy princess concubine win me this war?" asked voldemort

"My Lord, I know Harry Potter. And my daughter, I can deliver him to you when the time is right. He and the Order trust me implicitly, and I can convince him that I'm still fighting with him. Say the word, and I will give him to you, as a sign of my devotion." Said bloom

She looked into the eyes of the monster, and pretended he was a god. As he eyes cold blue eyes to show that she was evil. Lucky her blood adopted mother gave her dark fairy powers. She pushed out her darkness. That was the best thing she could do. But she was trying to convince him that she was going to be loyal on his side. That is the best she could do. But then again this snake face is stupid and would believe anything.

"My Master and I can be a formidable weapon for you. We are trusted by those who would plot your downfall. I do not seek glory, My Lord. All I ask, when you come into your kingdom, that I be allowed to serve you, for the glory of my Master." Purred bloom

Bloom cold blue eyes looked up at Severus with such devotion and fervor, for an ugly moment, Severus saw the shadow of Bellatrix in her eyes. It made him shiver with pleasure seeing this side of bloom. He never seen her like this before. This must be the power of the dark fairy. But for now he was going to make sure no one sees his boner. But for now he needed the dark lord to see that they are on his side. Even though they are not on his side. Voldemort watched her carefully as well.

"Such passion, Severus. Such fire. I see why you enjoy fucking her so much. Both of you are so eager to bow to me. So eager to debase yourselves." Said Voldemort

"The Wizarding world has debased us. Dumbledore has debased us. I dedicate all my power to you. Together, I believe that my Master and I can be the perfect weapon to give both Harry Potter and Dumbledore to you." Purred bloom

"I'm pleased, Severus. You have trained and molded her well. Perhaps the child she carries will be the first to be born in our brave new world." Said voldemort

"It would honor us both, My Lord." Said severus

"The ideals of pure-blood supremacy are the foundation of our new world. You will have to understand this. Jealousy is no respect of breeding." Said voldemort

"I understand, sir." Said bloom

Voldemort gave a short, hissing laugh. It turned bloom's stomach. As if he believe that he had knocked her up. Bloom wanted to snicker at the stupidy of it all. But she would do that later. Severus was deeply turned on with bloom. She is perfect and she will be his and only his. Voldemort watched them and saw that they were a perfect match. He sensed the darkness in her. Voldemort had a old shit moment. She has dark fairy blood in her. That is perfect for the cause.

"I confess, I did not believe you worthy of my Potions master in the beginning, but I see you are made of strength, in spite of your youth. You're ambitious, ruthless, passionate and powerful. Everything my Death Eaters despise in a fairy princess." Said Voldemort

bloom felt her lips go numb. She was sure the blood had drained from her face. When Voldemort's voice changed, it was as if the temperature of the room dropped, and she was now sure she was a step away from death. Voldemort laughed again. Bloom wanted to glare at him for making her lose her composure. Severus sighed and knew that was a trick. But she did well against it. And why is the dark lord so happy for.

"It is also everything I treasure in your Master, and he is also equally despised by them. I agree: you are a formidable team. I look forward to watching you destroy Hogwarts from the inside out. Once Hogwarts falls, the rest of the Wizarding world will follow. Mudbloods will be persecuted. Bring me Potter, and I will promise you my protection." Hissed voldemort

bloom forced herself to remain looking at the Dark Lord, and she didn't even flinch when he placed his hand on her magically swollen abdomen. Her wandless magic that works great no one person in this world can sense it. She needed to thank the trix one of these days for their training. Severus sighed and wished she was with child. He would love to watch her swell with his child.

"And when the war is over and Potter and his ilk are no more, this child will stand as a symbol of the power of Voldemort. There will be rewards for all who are faithful to me, Severus. Your reward will be your life, and the lives of your family." Said voldemort

Severus watched, as bloom's face lit up with joy, and she turned to him with tears standing in her eyes. To any observer, it appeared that bloom was overcome with happiness at the Dark Lord's promise. Severus knew the reality was much more visceral. The two of them dropped to their knees and kissed his robe again.

"We willneverfail you, My Lord," said severus

bloom was looking up at Voldemort as if he were the sun, and for a moment, Severus could almost believe she was indeed with child, glowing and blooming with his seed in her. The thought of it made his heart flutter. Voldemort was looking at Severus, seeing emotion play across the dark wizard's face.

"Yes, I'm very pleased with your plans. To show my pleasure, I will grant your request, Severus." Said volemort

"Request, My Lord?" asked severus

"Why, to marry your little fairy princess concubine, of course! It is saturating your thoughts, or did you think you could hide them from me?" said voldemort

"I did not dare presume to ask, Sire!" said severus

Severus was cursing the luck he was having. He forgot to ask the dark lord about the marriage. But it seemed he would have agreed to do it. Bloom was relieved that it was agreed to do it. She was happy. Severus was happy to but he needed to get them out of there. Now they are in this together. And they would fight together. That is how it was going to be. Bloom knew this is the beginning of this disturbing war that is about to happen.

"Think of it as insurance, Severus. You would never risk betraying me for the sake of her life, and she would never betray you for the sake of her child. Haven't we learned that lesson with your former lover, Severus?" asked voldemort

"You will never have to question our loyalty, My Lord. Others may try, in their arrogance and jealousy, to weaken your faith, but we will give you no cause. Thank you for this honor, My Lord." Said sevreus

The Dark Lord dropped his hand, and sat back on his throne-like chair. He raised his wasted arms in a gesture of blessing. Bloom watched with curiosity. But she knew this man could be deadly. Bloom scanned his body. He had missing pieces of his soul missing. Its as if he messed with his soul. In which he gets the ticket to hell. That is illegal in the soul socitey. Lucky for her she has quincy powers as well. She could use them to kill the missing souls.

"Go. Marry your cunning little concubine. Flaunt your impropriety right under Albus' nose! I look forward to watching your child grow, my dear. I assume you will return to Spinner's End after you bed your bride. I will send Wormtail ahead, to make it ready." Said voldemort

"That is most kind of you, Sire. I will adjust the wards to allow him access tomorrow." Said severus

"Excellent. its is a pity that neither of you are magical folk of pure blood. It does make my Death Eaters nervous to think my judgment may be influenced by those of lesser status. Then again, many of them are currently suffering from their own lapses of judgment by sitting in a cell in Azkaban." Said voldemort

As Severus and bloom backed away from the now disinterested Voldemort, Severus once again marveled at his fairy at his side. She had been clever, devious and fearless. At one point, he was terrified she'd made a misstep, but the Dark Lord, ever a will-o-the-wisp with his whims, had overlooked it and turned it into a compliment. It stunned Severus how delicately bloom had played the most powerful dark wizard the world had ever created. However, it also terrified him that they were now inextricably linked in the Dark Lord's mind. As long as one was of value to him, so would the other be; should one ever be found wanting, the other would be sacrificed as well. As they left from Malfoy manor.

Meanwhile a hour later

Severus heard a sharp sound, and turned to find tears flowing down Hermione's face. He took her in his arms. It seemed she was thinking of her sons who was murdered by these bastards. But he knew she needed his comfort. Because her own daughter betrayed her. In which bloom sealed hermione fairy powers and other powers. The only powers she has left is the ones for wizarding.

"It's alright, firefly. I feel this way every time I leave this place." Said severus

bloom nodded, she basically selling her soul right now. But she was not going to back down from this. She was going to fight until the very end. but the tears continued to flow, and he recognized the carving, curling sweetness of looking death in the face and walking away. He had done it many times, and it still left him feeling weak and half-mad. But she needed to do this. Fool snake face to think she is on his side. But she needed to get these feelings out. It was crushing her the whole time. Severus sighed and understood how she was feeling.

"Shhh, firefly. No tears. Not now. You were sublime. You are the most amazing fairy," said severus

severus marveled, kissing the tears from her face. He took her hand and they Apparated away. When they were still again, bloom looked around. Instead of seeing the familiar grounds outside the gates of Hogwarts, they seemed to have landed in the alleyway of a dirty, rundown neighborhood. bloom wiped her eyes with his handkerchief and sniffed, wrinkling her nose at the smell of garbage and offal.

"Severus, where are we?"asked bloom

"Spinner's End, lass. My home. I'm not taking you back to Hogwarts tonight. I'm going to keep you with me and make sure you marry me, before you come to your senses and change your mind." Said severus

Spinner's End was not Severus' first choice to take bloom, but he had wanted to get away from the Dark Lord quickly, and it was the only secure place he could think of besides Hogwarts. For some reason, the idea of returning to the school was abhorrent; he told bloom he felt just as protected at Spinner's End. The honest truth was that he wanted simply to be alone with her, and this was the only other place he felt safe.

severus could feel bloom trembling beneath his fingers, and he understood her reaction completely. Returning from the Dark Lord unscathed always left a slick feeling of violation in his soul; it was that sensation of having touched something corpulent, rancid, which left him feeling unclean. bloom felt it, too, and was now shivering in reaction to the taint of her audience with Voldemort.

Severus felt fiercely proud of her; she had managed to deceive one of the greatest Legilimens the world had ever seen, and they had lived to tell the tale. He was also frightened at the knowledge that they had tricked him into believing that bloom was pregnant. This was something they had to discuss, and try to find a solution quickly. If Severus was completely truthful riding throughout his consciousness was the exhilarating relief of surviving the Dark Lord's audience, and the undercurrent of lust that always followed it. Looking down at bloom, Severus felt that same dark desire that had driven him to Knockturn Alley all those months ago, looking for a whore with bright flame like hair.

It now imbued him with an almost irresistible craving for bloom. It would be a long night, by his reckoning. He'd waited this long; he would be disciplined enough to wait until tomorrow. His will would just have to be stronger than the drives of his body, no matter how irresistible the temptation.

Once he'd locked the door and warded it with his heaviest charms, Severus and bloom looked at each other and relaxed. Severus sighed, slumped into a nearby chair and held out his hand. Like the obedient little fairy she was, bloom crossed the room to touch him. He looked up into her face, which was as lovely to him as Lily's had never tried to be.

"Welcome, my darling, to the venerable Snape family manse." Said severus

Sobering again, he gently drew her toward him, until she was standing between his knees. Bloom was looking around. Yes they would be back and forth from places. She has to set up the dimensional portal in the house so others to come and see her. But this place needed to be fixed up and more cheerful. Severus sighed he wondered if she would put her own touch on this place. It needed a woman touch when it came down to what this place looked like.

"bloom, I come from nothing; not even my mother's Pureblood status could wash Toby Snape's Muggle taint from me. So I cultivated a posh accent and aped the way Purebloods dressed and acted. I learned to put it on and take it off like my first robes, which were given to me by a charity, by the way. I've got little money, This house is the only possession I actually own besides my wand and my clothes and books. I've made so many mistakes in my life, I don't even know how to catalog the things I do right anymore. The Dark Lord uses me because I am a handy tool; when I am no longer useful, he'll discard me. Now that you are associated with me, he'll discard you, too." Explained severus

bloom saw the desolation and the fear in his eyes. Impulsively, she took his hands in hers and looked down into his careworn face. But she could get some help here with how things are. She would get stella and the girls here to help her with the redecorating. Severus smiled he read her mind and he wouldn't mind a redecorating. Bloom sighed it was not what she was used to. But it will do after it was fixed up.

"You used to believe those things about yourself. Then you dared to believe the truth, and because you started to hope, Dumbledore callously snuffed it out of you like a candle. I wish I could curse him for killing the hope in you that Voldemort had been incapable of even bruising. I will reignite that hope. And as far as your Dark Lord is concerned, we will become indispensable to him. He will never think of us as surplus to requirements." Said bloom

Bloom sighed and had a huge night ahead of them. But for now she needed him to understand that those things that has been put in his mind was all not right. She thought Dumbledore was a kind old man. But in the end he was just as bad as the dark lord. It was something that she took note in. severus sighed and was happy that there was going to be some form of life in this house soon.

"I'm not under any illusions, Severus. You've told me your background, I know you don't have much money, and I don't care. I have enough money to keep us comfortable, top it off you're a royal once you marry me. and when this is over we can decide what we want to do with it. And as for positions and society, I've never been one to care much for them; the Wizarding world broke me of that the first time Lucius Malfoy turned his nose up at me for being fairy." Said bloom

Bloom smiled brightly and sat in his lap, and his arms enfolded her automatically. This was something he always wanted. He wanted her to be in his home. But soon she is going to be his and only his. Yes he will be friends with her ex husbands. Since they are the fathers of her children. Well except the dead one. But that grandfather is still around. And it seemed that hermione is the daughter of sky.

"I love you, Severus Snape. For better or worse. I will have you as my husband. And your my future king, Y-you once told me your back would always be to mine …. That we would always fight alongside each other, until there were no more enemies to fight, and together we would win! Separately, my love, we can't do it. But together, we can do anything, because love will keep us safe! It's all we have left!" said bloom

bloom became aware that Severus was holding her in a punishing grip, and she sobbed, as she thought of how happy they would be. And most of all the crap they will have to go through. Sevreus sighed and wondered how lucky he had gotten. This was his dream. Not lily just bloom. She is going to be his future queen. But they have to survive this first. They have their own army. But they will be kept between them.

"So help me, Severus, I'm too far in now. You have too much of me now. It's not a matter of living as your widow. It's a matter of living, full stop. And I'll gladly, gladly face death if it means you are walking this earth." Said bloom

"What makes you think I would want to walk the earth without you by my side? I will keep fighting alongside you … I will…" said severus

bloom returned his kisses with equal fervor, and somewhere, in the middle of this reaffirmation, their litany changed from Suddenly, a silver phoenix burst into the room, and bloom jumped from Severus' lap, even as he moved to shield her from the Patronus. He felt a brief, feral surge of satisfaction that Albus had been too impatient to wait for him. The curse was already affecting Dumbledore's mind, making him a bit more unpredictable than usual. Severus was still confident that his own power over the older wizard was enough to keep him in check. It was a dangerous game he was playing with the headmaster. The glorious Patronus.

"Severus, I'm glad to know you have returned safely, dear boy. I require a word with you in private." Said Dumbledore

The Patronus disappeared in a swirl of shimmering magic. Severus stared at the spot where the phoenix had stood, trying to decide whether or not to indulge the old man. Fuck it; he was feeling generous. Severus turned back to bloom, his smirk fading on his lips. With a start, he realized the girl was almost asleep on her feet. She looked up at him with the soft, blank expression of an exhausted woman, and his heart ached with a tenderness he had once thought himself incapable of feeling. Without a word, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. She didn't protest, but merely laid her head on his shoulder. The events of the day were draining; any time spent in the presence of the Dark Lord was exhausting, as if his very essence siphoned happiness and energy from the room. More than once Severus had returned from a revel and slept for a full day; even Dumbledore was unable to rouse him on those occasions.

Severus kissed Hermione's forehead, and laid her on his bed, tucking her in. She looked at him sleepily, He held her, a fierce protectiveness flooding his being. Once again, he vowed to do anything to keep this woman, his woman, safe. He kissed her soft lips as tenderly as his own turbulent emotions would allow, and cursed Dumbledore and the Dark Lord for making him spend one second away from her. Softly, he stroked her cheek with his own, and murmured,

"I have to speak with the headmaster. This house's wards are unbreakable, so don't try to breach them, even if someone comes. Unlikely, I know, but don't answer the door. The wards will hold." Said severus

"Hurry back. Severus! Will you retrieve something from my room at Hogwarts and bring it back with you?" asked bloom

"Of course. What do you want?" asked severus

"On my bed is a beaded bag. I really need it." Said bloom

"Done. I confess, I am intrigued. What's in this bag that's so important?" said severus

"Everything." Said bloom

Bloom fell asleep while severus sighed and headed to go to see the headmaster. He needed to inform him of tonights events. He is very proud of his bloom. She was great in what she does. She is a pro at what she does in this sort of war and how to get out of dangerous situations like the dark lord. He sighed as he took a drink before dealing with the crazy old coot that is a pain in his ass. He went to check on his future bride and saw she was going to be ok while he was gone. He floo's to the headmasters office to have their chat that he wanted to have.

---

Meanwhile a hour later

Severus returned, clutching the beaded bag in one hand and his temper in the other. He had never had such a fruitless conversation with the headmaster before. Albus had listened to his update, frowning when Severus told him of bloom pregnancy ruse, then merely shrugged as if to indicate he thought the whole matter of little importance. He blithely refused to answer Severus' questions about Albus' uncanny knowledge of Draco's mission to kill the headmaster, merely repeating his earlier edict that he would require Severus' continued help on keeping the curse at bay until the proper time presented itself to take his life. It chilled and angered Severus that Albus could be so matter-of-fact about it.

"Albus, how do you expect me to help you if you make me fight blind? Why won't you tell me what I need to know to keep everyone safe?" asked severus

"Such things aren't necessary to know just now, dear boy. In time, all will be revealed. You must learn to trust me." Said dumbledore

"I can see you are in a mood to be capricious. I know I'll get nothing from you now. But if your caginess causes harm to Potter, upon your head be it." Said severus

"I would never endanger Harry, Severus. Everything I am doing is to prepare him…." Said Dumbledore

Severus was annoyed about the whole situation. He didn't know what to think. Albus is making him do something that he wished to not do. But he also has a feeling there is more to it. And he knew that albus would never tell him what he wanted to know. All things are riddles to him. Sometimes he thinked the dark lord made more sense when he explained something. Plus he wanted to get back home to go back to his future bride. And future queen as well.

"For what, Albus? What is to happen to the boy? What does the prophecy mean? Why won't you tell me?" asked severus

"All will be revealed in the fullness of time, Severus. I know you will understand in the end." Said dumbledore

Severus turned back once more to the man who had been his friend, his jailer, his saviour, his master. Albus was looking at him carefully. But he wanted to know what else the man wanted. Hasn't the man kicked him in the ass enough for the night. He just wanted to go home and have a stiff drink. And check on bloom as well. But it seemed that the old coot wanted to make his life even more of a hell before he headed home. There is plans that needed to be made.

"I assume your impending nuptials are still taking place in the morning. Very well. If you are to do this deed, I only ask that you and I must come up with a way to keep it concealed from the student body. I suspect Voldemort wishes it as well, or he would have spoken to you about it publicly." Said dumbledore

"Indeed, he was very careful to make sure no one was in the room but bloom and me. He didn't want the news coming back to you, probably for fear you would have me locked up in Azkaban by nightfall." Said severus

"I would, too, if I didn't need you so badly, I don't condone it, but my hands are tied. I acknowledge the two of you share a magical bond the like of which I have seldom seen. I am forced to trust it. I am forced to believe that you and princess bloom are doing this because it is the best recourse." Said dumbledore

"Is that all, Albus? I have a very long day ahead of me, and I don't like leaving bloom alone right now." Said severus

Severus sighed and knew he was going to be a married man tomorrow and he was looking forward to it. But sadly they have to be married in the wizarding world. But after the war they are going to be married back in sparks. But he just hopped he would survive this to be able to do that. But he knew that there will be a park of the house that friends and family was going to come and go. Well until the dark lord makes someone watch them to make sure they are not fooling him.

"Why not? Surely the Death Eaters will leave you alone at Spinner's End?" asked dumbledore

"Albus, she has lost three of her sons. She is recovering from a life-threatening curse, and I'm all she has in this world." Said severus

"She has her daughter friends. She has Harry and Ronald….. and along with her other children and family and friends. " said dumbledore

"Oh, yes, Headmaster, they certainly possess the wisdom and maturity to help her! And for her daughter hermione she is not treating her mother right. And If Potter hadn't gone off half-cocked to the Ministry on a quixotic rescue mission, her sons and her health would be fine." Hissed severus

"No, you caused their deaths, Severus. You were the reason she stepped between you and Dolohov. I am not judging you, dear boy. I am not trying to hurt you." Said dumbledore

Severus, trembled with sickening anger, knowing every word Albus had spoken was true, and ground out, but he was not going to be putting up with that bastard of a old man to put this all on him. Even though it is that damn potters fought why it all happened. And hermione could care less about her brothers death. It was all annoying to him. Albus watched severus and saw he hit a nerve. He knew he should of not crossed the line. But he wanted to make severus think this.

"No, you're not trying to hurt me, Dumbledore. You are succeeding. Yes, you know me so well, Albus. You know the best way to destroy me is with the truth. Bravo, well played, Albus. Yes, I was the reason her sons were killed. I was the reason she almost died. And I'm also the reason she's alive. And I'll tell you this before I go." Said severus

Severus bent down to be eye to eye with albus. He was going to make his point clear to the crazy old man. He wanted him to know what he thought and he was going to make it clear. Albus was in shock from what was going on. It seemed that he has no hold over him anymore. But he was still willing to help out. With more love and passion in his eyes than Albus had seen in years. It made albus shiver from the sight of it. Damn that princess ruining all the work he put in all those years with severus.

"She's also the reason I can still drag myself out of bed each morning, Albus. She is the reason I can still fight, and I can still assist your precious Harry Potter. She is the reason I can still face the Dark Lord, knowing I'm a hairsbreadth away from death. Not you, not Lily. bloom. Congratulate me, Albus. I'm going to be married in a few hours, and this time tomorrow, I'm going to be the best-laid man in Wizarding Britain." Hissed severus

Albus could only stare in silence. He had seen this angry young boy grow into an angry young man. He had seen him apoplectic with rage, seething with resentment, spitting with hate. Until now, Albus had never seen him burn with self-righteous fire, blaze with life. Severus sneered at his headmaster's stunned expression, delivering a parting shot as he strode toward the Floo.

---

Meanwhile a few hours later

bloom had been napping peacefully when Severus returned from Hogwarts. His harsh features softened at the sight of the lovely girl lying in his bed. He sighed, replaying the scene in the headmaster's office. Dumbledore might try and keep throwing the past back in Severus' face for his own purposes, but Severus finally, finally felt free of the constraints of guilt. The past was done. From now on, he would concentrate on the present and the future. He glanced down at the fancy bag that only a royal would use in his hand, wondering with amusement why bloom had been so insistent that he bring such a little trifle back with him. Curious, Severus unfastened the clasp and looked inside. And looked. And looked again, and then thrust his hand in. He buried his arm up to the shoulder inside the bag, and still couldn't touch bottom.

He withdrew his hand and, using his wand, muttered, lowered his wand down in the bag. Severus peered down into the depths of bloom's purse; it looked like a vault at Gringotts, and contained so many items it staggered him. Books, potions, parchments, bottles of ink and quills. Medical supplies, Muggle first-aid, clothing, empty vials, passports. All this in a bag so light, he had thought it empty. Severus grinned, and stifled a laugh. He really was, after all, marrying the cleverest fairy.

---

Meanwhile the fallowing day

There was something about this couple that Registrar Leo Keown really liked. He mentioned it to his wife later that evening, and when she asked him why he liked this particular couple so much, he honestly couldn't tell her. He just knew that he did. The actual fact of the matter was that he liked this couple so much because Severus had Confunded him into liking them. It made the procedure of paperwork and red tape all but disappear.

Registrar was an optimist and a romantic; he knew many couples came to Gretna Green for the 'quickie wedding,' but he harbored a secret feeling that he had some say in their marriage's longevity. He truly believed in the power of the marriage vow, and hoped that every couple who stood before him and pronounced the words would stay together. He didn't bother to find out how many couples divorced, but he was laying bets with himself that this unusual couple would go the distance. Both of them were intelligent and sharp ….you could see that in their eyes. Each was gentle and courteous to the other, and the little touches, like the man's hand on her waist, the woman's grip on his arm …. all told the Registrar these two were solid. His own wife would tell him to not be so daft, but he believed it.

al stood before the two people, and spoke the words he'd said four times already that morning, but for some reason, they seemed to signify so much more to this couple. For one thing, they seemed so devoted to one another. For another, there was something about them that broke the Registrar's heart a little; it was as if the two of them felt their love was so precious, they were almost in awe of it. There was the feeling that they knew life was all too short, and they wanted to treasure each day they had together. Or maybe al was just the silly old sod his mates always accused him of being.

"Friends, we are gathered together to celebrate the marriage of Severus and bloom. They have come here today to declare their wish to be joined in matrimony, and we wish them Godspeed on their journey together as husband and wife. They do not enter into this lightly, but with all seriousness and respect for one another, and we are blessed to witness their joining." Said al

Al looked up at the dour man with the dark hair and pale, aesthetic features, and smiled. He seemed that he was a happy man to be next to a ethereal beauty next to him. He wondered if she is even human. Thoughts for another time. Even though she looked very familiar. But then again thoughts for another time. But her dress was very pretty and looked very expensive. And something that has been passed down in her family. Bloom smiled to the man she was wearing her mothers wedding dress. It meant the world to her to be able to wear the family heirloom. She even has her tiara one to show her royal blood stautus.

"Do you, Severus Tobias Snape, take bloom bulma kushiki, to be your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, to protect, and be faithful to her until you are parted by death?" said al

The stern man looked down at his bride, and his dark, unyielding expression softened to the point where he was almost handsome. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. He can't believe this day was happening. He was going to be a married man. Something he never thought would ever happen. Well, most of all to a princess of all things. But for now, he needed to make sure he was paying attention to all of this. So, he could say the right things and not think of the things he would be doing to her when they get home.

"I will do all these things, until I am parted from you by death," said severus

severus voice rolled through the room like incense in church. Al and the other witnesses looked at the man with new respect. His speaking voice was truly wondrous, low and vibrant, full of power and beauty, each word given depth and meaning and weight. The young woman smiled up at her groom, love and desire blooming in her eyes. As the registrar repeated the vows, she kept her unwavering gaze on the groom's face,

"I will do all these things, until I am parted from you by death!" said bloom

bloom said her vows, bloom mentally pushed her love, her devotion, her confidence, and her unswerving belief toward Severus. He almost reeled with the emotions washing over him, and his mind whispered,he needed to make sure she knew she was going to be ok. And that he was there for her. Bloom was nervous but she knew severus was there for her. And never was going to leave her side ever. Well unless one of them die or something.

---

"It's alright, firefly. I'm not afraid anymore." Said severus

---

"What has been joined together here today, let no one interfere with or threaten. I proudly pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your wife now, Mr. Snape." Said al

Severus, feeling ill at ease in front of the registrar and the two nameless, already-forgotten witnesses they had literally pulled off the street, self-consciously turned to Hermione. She looked up at him with a mixture of love and hope. Underneath was a soft, trusting whisper of innocent sensuality. It was that confident, untried lust that made him forget everything but Hermione, and Severus leaned forward and kissed his wife with soft lips that promised her all she wanted. Severus turned to face the Registrar, and lifted his head imperceptibly. He was a new man, and a future king, with a new life now. It would all be alright.

---

Meanwhile a few hours later

By the time they returned to Spinner's End, it was already early afternoon. They had walked to the Apparition point in near silence, each suddenly acutely aware of each other, and their newly-married status. Severus stole occasional glances at his young bride. She looked calm and serene, even happy. As if aware of his attention, she turned and smiled up at him. There was a mischievous look in her amber eyes.

"Husband. My husband, Severus Snape." Purred bloom

"Severus Snape, if you don't mind, wife." Said severus

bloom looked up into her husband's pale, austere face. He was looking down at her, his obsidian eyes so dark they seemed to reflect to her the colors of the world. Her heart ached for this man, in every way. It was as if she was nothing but a creature of sensation now, aching to feel him, to know him, to be so close to him he would never feel alone again. Bloom knew what was next and she was looking forward to having sex with her husband. Something she has been waiting for a while now for.

"It's what I wanted. I want us to be man and wife. We start our married life in your home. And after the war on sparks." Said bloom

"It's 'our' home now, Hermione. Such as it is, it belongs as much to you now as to me. Everything I am is yours." Said severus

bloom pressed against his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. She knew her parents was happy for her. They are already plotting out the wedding for when the war was going to be over. She magically sent her mother dress back to her with stella so she could have it all ready for her when she needed it again for the main wedding that was going to happened.

"I have wanted you so long, I almost can't remember a time when I didn't." purred bloom

"My wife. Bloom Snape. The sound of it pleases me, as precious few things have ever done." Purred severus

He could feel her tremble, and he tipped her chin up so that her eyes met his. He wanted to make sure he made a few things clear. He wanted her to know how much this meant to him. To have someone like bloom wanting to be his. Yes his, he loved the sound of that. He is a possessive man. Bloom smiled and wondered what he was thinking right now. But she was not going to pry. He would say what he wanted to her when he was ready..

"You're shaking. Are you afraid of me, firefly?" purred severus

Severus voice soft and tender. He smiled down at her, and there was something so warm and intimate in his gaze, bloom's breath caught. Oh that voice always got her in all ways to make her soaking wet. Severus knew what he was doing was turning her on eve more. His voice has something to do with her and her feelings as well. But either way this was going to be a fun time for them tonight.

"No, its nothing I haven't done before." said bloom

"You do realize your thoughts are screaming to me, don't you, firefly? That I 'heard' every word of that little crisis of faith?" purred severus

bloom gasped and felt humiliation wash over her like a shower of cold rain. For a moment, she was tempted to turn away, or cry, or run into the bathroom and ward the door behind her. Then, the courage within, the bravery that had determined her place in her House, that had tricked the most powerful Dark Wizard of creation, that had bolstered the will of the man before her, stiffened her spine,

"Well, be that as it may, but rest assured, husband, what experience I do have I promise I will make up for in enthusiasm." Purred bloom

Severus stared at her for a moment, then threw back his head and laughed. He laughed for the first time in bloom memory; deep belly laughs that made her shake her head in wonder. Tears spurted from his eyes, and he flopped on a sagging sofa, wiping his eyes. Oh how she cracks him up sometimes. Yes he knew she has experience but he wanted to be the only one who would be in her for now on. He has so much to show her. Their sex with be legendary even in hell.

"Oh, bloom, Oh, bloom." Purred severus

Bloom realized she had married a surprisingly handsome man. He will make a great king when it comes down to it. He finally looked up at his wife, who still remained rooted to the spot, bemused. Invitingly, he patted his lap.

"Come here, wife, Come here, and tell me all about your marvelous enthusiasm." Purred severus

"You know, I've just discovered something about you, Severus. You're a bit of a flirt, aren't you?" purred bloom

"Who better to flirt with than your bride? I will admit, though; I thought I had graduated to seduce you." Purred severus

severus smile almost made her toes curl, especially as it was accompanied with the sight of his fingertips stroking the knee of his trousers. bloom could almost feel them softly trailing across her own skin. He tilted his head, and smirked as she bit her lip, a tiny smile lighting the corner of her mouth. Is this their four play or something. If it is it is a amusing four play she has ever had in her life.

"Seducing me shouldn't be too difficult, Keep looking at me like that and I'm apt to climb on the coffee table and do a strip tease for you. Or shall I rip all of your clothing off what to do." Purred bloom

"Are you, now? I confess, I'd very much like to see that, firefly." Purred severus

severus spoke the words slowly, each chocolate-laden syllable rolling from his wicked tongue, and bloom swallowed. For a moment, Severus looked as if he was about to laugh, then decided to put her out of her misery. But she was going to make him melt. She was going to make him want it anytime he wanted to. Severus smirked he loved his bride she is a kinky little thing and he loved it.

"It's alright, my kinky firefly. You don't have to act the wanton for me. Especially tonight." Purred severus

As the Slytherin in him had anticipated, she could not resist his good natured challenge. Hermione blinked, and quickly muttered a charm, causing the table to widen. As he watched, bloom stepped onto the table, and began to slowly, provocatively undress for him, her eyes never straying from his. bloom saw the light in them change as she drew her transfigured wedding dress over her head, and tossed it onto a nearby chair. Her shoes and tights quickly followed, and Severus' expression grew darker, more languid, as she turned her back to him, unhooked her bra, and slipped the straps from her shoulders. She slid it from her arms and looked at him over her shoulder, playfully tossing the garment into his lap. He let the bra dangle from his fingers, then put it to his nose and sniffed. He hummed appreciatively.

"Lovely. Still warm." Purred severus

Bloom eyes widened at his little show, and not to be outdone, she hooked her hands into the waistband of her knickers, and lowered them to the floor. She bent over from the waist, presenting him with the most perfectly shaped, pert little heart-shaped bottom he'd ever seen. Once again, she looked over her shoulder flirtatiously and grinned at him. Severus' eyes raked over her nude body slowly, and his expression changed from darkened arousal to wonder. His lips parted, and he licked his lips predatorily as his eyes narrowed. As Hermione straightened, and turned around, Severus slowly stood and walked to her. He gently placed his hands on her waist, and lowered her from the table, his long, slender hands stroking her gently from shoulder to hip. He looked at her body with a long, appreciative stare. He caressed her soft cheek with the back of his hand, and she closed her eyes and leaned against his fingers, her face flushed with excitement and desire. She pressed her lips to his hand, which looked so large and pale against her rosy, glowing skin.

"You're so lovely, I've never touched someone so innocent, so eager for me. I've never been with a woman who wanted me this much. Do you know how erotic that is to me? It's more powerful than any lust potion I could ever imbibe. Every caress, every place my mouth touches,." Purred severus

Hermione looked up at him with eyes that were naked with longing. She wanted him so bad. She wondered what he would do to her. It was a first for both of them to explore their bodies. To know one another. They have so much to show each other. Severus was already ready for her.

"And the last, Severus. Never forget that." Purred bloom

"Perhaps, my love, that is more important even than being the last in you." Purred severus

bloom watched as each piece of clothing was removed and draped onto the chair to join hers. He stood before her, suddenly as self-conscious as she. bloom took in his body in one, longing look. He was so pale and lean, with a wiry musculature that spoke of a latent hint of power. The plains of his hipbones were completely flawless; the skin there was as modest and smooth as a boy's. His cock, semi-hard, was large and uncircumcised and daunting, but she wasn't afraid. Severus, on the other hand, was already steeling himself for her disappointment in him. He knew he wasn't the most beautiful fairy, but looking in her eyes, he was stunned with their longing and intensity; she looked anything but disappointed. She took her time, her eyes roving over his body, before resting on his face.

bloom gave him a smile of affection, and trust, but there was something in her eyes, some reticence, that troubled him. It was that strained, overly bright, eager-to-please gleam of old; it reminded him that he had known her first as a child, then a woman, and that gave him pause. With one large hand, he tipped her chin until she looked up into his face.

"bloom, I will not rush you. If you are unsure, we can wait. There is nothing in this world that will allow me to force you against your will …. " purred severus

"Severus, How could you say that? Im offering myself up willingly." Purred bloom

"I can say it because I will not make you.. " said severus

"How could you say that I would want to be anywhere, or doing anything, other than being here with you, than wanting you to make love to me? How long have you known me?" said bloom

"bloom. I see it in your eyes. You are not sure. Therefore, you are not ready."

"I am! I am! In spite of my warrior bravado. You've done this before, and I done this before I have children for uncle beerus sake, and you certainly know what you're doing." Said bloom

Severus' dark chuckle startled her. He was enjoying their four play. This was something that he never did before. But she was making it fun. Her naked body in front of his for his hands to run all over her silky smooth skin. He didn't care about the scars he thought they were sexy. He wanted to lick each one to show that he did think that they are sexy.

"My sexy firefly; still wanting to be the best in class!" purred severus

bloom returned the laugh, even if it was at her expense. With great dignity, she retorted, sje was happy that this four play was fun. But she didn't know how far this was able to go. Bloom was enjoying this. Teasting each other until they are ready to go and do the wild thing. She was about to yank him and drag him upstairs and tell him to do what he wanted to her. But she knew this takes time with severus.

severus arms encircled her gently, and she looked up into his liquid, beautiful eyes, and gently he spoke with all the tenderness of a lover's touch, his beautiful, hypnotic voice washing over her like mercury, heavy and iridescent. Oh how does it drive her crazy. But then again there was nothing this man could do to her that would be her horny.

"You are already the best lover I have ever had.. In so many ways, you are theonlylover I've ever had. You will know what pleases me; I will teach you. It will be the most pleasurable tutelage I have ever given, my love." Purred severus

Severus drew her closer, and nuzzled her hair, breathing in its scent. He wants to make a few things a crossed before they cross the sexual side of things. Bloom shivered from what he was saying. And what he wanted to do to her. It made her want him all the more. And it was taking too long to get to that point. He was playing with her and it was the most pleasurable thing that she had ever felt.

"You must remember you are bestowing upon me a precious gift, bloom. Not just the physical gift of your body, but the gift of acceptance, the gift of wanting me, like I will belong to you now, and you to me. We will learn to please one another together." Purred severus

Slowly he knelt before her, and she looked down into his face and kissed him, their eyes open, each feeling the other's mind, and the visceral pleasure of sharing this kiss in this intimate way was at once stunning and disorienting in its familiarity. Their minds recognized each other and connected at every level of consciousness and subconsciousness, until they were fused together. Bloom has to say it was the most erotic thing that she has ever felt. And wished for more of something like this.

As Severus' mouth closed over hers, parting her lips and feeling her tongue move against his, they both whimpered softly, both experiencing the sensations, the emotions. It was the most intimate gesture Severus had ever shared with anyone, and he was thankful he was already on his knees, and didn't have to rely on his legs to support him. Slowly, the kiss ended, and they broke their link. It was too physically draining to maintain it for what they desired to do to and for one another. bloom smiled as Severus reached up and slid his arms around her shoulders, glorying in her lithe, lovely body presented to him so tantalizingly.

The scar from Dolohov's curse was still fresh and vulnerable looking, but it only made her more real, more perfect. He looked at her with a mixture of compassion and tenderness, and he recalled the same look in her eyes when he first removed his shirt weeks before. She kissed and caressed his scars then. Now he was returning the favor. This was no Knockturn Alley whore, giving him her body for a price. This was no jaded reveler, drugged on the Dark Power, opening her legs for any cock that would feed her pleasure. This was a young, new woman, who had come to him, Severus Snape, because she simply wanted him. Because she loved and believed in him enough to marry him.

"My beautiful wife," purred severus

Once, a lifetime ago, in the throes of the Dark Caress, he'd fantasized about making her crawl to him, begging for his touch. He now found that it was he who was lost to her power; he was the supplicant. It seemed so erotic to him back then. But this was their first time together. And he wanted to explore her body. Every inch of her body. Bloom was feeling his pleasure and wondered if he was able to feel hers as favored him with a glorious smile, then sobered, as arousal won over rational thought. In a voice glazed with longing, she whispered,

"Oh, Severus. If you want me, please touch me.Explore me." Purred bloom

Severus long, wiry arms slid around her waist, and Severus pressed his body against hers in an embrace of boundless gratitude and barely controlled desire. Her words excited and aroused him beyond belief. They sounded erotic and dirty, and oh, so, decadent. Her hands stroked his head and his back and shoulders, and he purred appreciatively, reveling in the delicious feel of being fondled and petted. Each affectionate stroke of her hands renewed him, healed him, solidified his soul and enabled him. For a man starved so long of contact and affection, her healing hands smoothed away the pain of his past forever. Almost beside himself with longing, Severus pressed his lips against the scarred skin between bloom lovely breasts. He turned his head, and smiled at the tiny, pert nipple, so hard and waiting, calling to him, all but begging for his greedy mouth. He nuzzled his large nose against her right breast. His hands traced gentle circles against her back. Unable to help himself, already knowing the answer,

severus closed his eyes, moaning with desire at her breathless words, treasuring this moment, locking it away in his scarred heart. He knew that, once he'd tugged the little bud into his salivating mouth, this first would be gone forever. The knowledge that no one, save him, had ever suckled this precious nub of flesh was beyond arousing, beyond erotic. He could feel her thrumming with the anticipation of it, and he held himself until he could hold back no longer and was trembling as well. He studied the tender little puckered tip for a brief moment. Severus touched the underside of her nipple with a single, delicate fingertip, and lifted it slightly, as if to weigh the little button. She gasped at his touch, and he smiled.

"Ah, it is as I hoped, then." Purred severus

"What? What did you hope for?" asked bloom

"Your nipples are as pink and hard and baby sweet as I had dreamt they'd be,"

severus moved his finger, and caressed the side of her lovely, satiny breast in his large hand. and then it was in his mouth and oh! it wassweet and hard and soft andher!His hands fluttered against her skin, cupping her breasts in his palms and he almost swooned as he drew the little bud into his mouth, his tongue cradling it and his lips pursing around it as his teeth nipped and suckled and he licked and laved and flicked it with the hard tip of his tongue and sucked and sucked and he could feel her hands in his hair, pulling him closer, hearing her pounding heart and her hoarse cries of

"Oh! Severus! Don't stop – God, it feels so good!" moaned bloom

severus control broke, and he threw his arms around her as he feasted on the opposite nipple, tugging and sucking as if he could actually draw her milk from the ripe, innocent flesh. He was moaning helplessly; deep, throaty growls of unspeakable pleasure. She smelled new and perfect, and he knew he didn't deserve it and for once he didn't give a fuck … it was so good,so good! He writhed against her body, unable to help himself, wanting her more than he had ever wanted anything else, more than he'd wanted to go to Hogwarts or his first good set of dress robes or his first wand or Lily…

severus tried to stand without breaking his sucking grip on her rosy-tipped tit and overbalanced them both as he staggered forward against her, until he could right himself. He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up. Their mouths crashed together, almost painfully, and he was devouring her, and it was wondrous and new, and he felt as if he were the hungry and edgy virgin instead of her. The most feral sounds were rippling through the air, and he knew he was the source of them, and she answered him with a husky cry of her own. He was holding her too tightly, but he didn't care, if she combed her tiny hands through his hair and pulled him towards her sweet mouth. He sucked on her tongue as he drew it into his mouth, and she pulled on his hair, dragging him closer. He must have carried her to his bed, because they were in it and he was over her, his weight on his arms, hungrily sucking kisses from her lips. She tried to pull him down on her, and when his arms dropped and his weight fell upon her, she took his head in her hands and opened her mind to him…

severus paused, forced himself to calm. This was his prized witch, his wife, his woman; looking down at her, so open and trusting, believing that whatever he did, she would have nothing to fear. He stilled and gently stroked the triangle of curls at her mons. Her scent was intoxicating, saturating his mind all the way down to the most primitive, primal part of his brain, where nature programmed not only the desire to mate, but to make it so pleasurable to the physical body that man would continually seek it, scent it in the air, hunt for his female in heat. He knew in that moment that he was her slave; that he would gladly grovel at her feet, if she merely allow him to bury his nose in this soft thatch of glistening curls.

bloom flashed, swollen labia glistened with her juices. No witch nor fairy or human had ever been this wet for him and him alone. It had always thrilled him to touch her, to feel her beneath his fingers, but to see the evidence of her desire for him, this soft, rosy nest beckoning to him, was enough to break him; to make him forget who he was and why he had ever thought himself undeserving of her. Panting with desire, he deftly peeled the cleft apart with his fingers, as if parting the delicate wings of a butterfly. There, nestled in its hood, was her flushed, stiff little clitoris, gleaming in its succulent bed of velvet. He tapped it gently with the tip of his finger, and she shuddered and whimpered and grasped the bed clothes. Her tiny, virgin entrance quivered, making him almost mad with lust.

"Sweet Nimue, Wait, So wet. Your cunt is bright red, and so wet. Did I do this to you?" purred severus

"No shit yes, it's all because of you, I want to feel it. Please, Severus, touch me…"purred bloom

"You beg so beautifully, my firefly, offering yourself to me. So open, so eager." Purred severus

"Fuck! Severus, please," moaned bloom

Bloom got impatient and yanked his hair to push him where she wanted him. Severus only laughed, hearing the desperation in her voice, loving her total lack of inhibition, and knowing she had no idea what desperation was. With a moan of anticipated pleasure, he lowered his mouth to her cunt and moved his lips and tongue over the turgid flesh. He felt the tremor pass through her, and, using his thumbs to open her further to his mouth, he sucked the pearly little clit between his lips and flicked at it with the sharp point of his tongue. She wailed his name, as if to invoke the heavens open. Severus moved lower, and laved her dripping pussy from her perineum to her clitoris, lapping at her as if her juices were his favorite sustenance. bloom felt her body gathering, like a storm brewing within. She felt the gentle pressure of his fingers sliding into her yielding passage, moving insistently within, as his tongue flicked relentlessly against her hard, swollen clit. Bloom's vulva flushed and quivered around his eager mouth, he probed her silken passage, stretching, pushing, even as he felt an orgasm cresting within her. She rose to its peak, holding on, trembling, almost unable to breathe, when Severus raised his head. He could feel her entire body shuddering, holding on. his fingers practiced and insisted, using his voice like an instrument of pleasure.

"There's a good my firefly... let's see you come... good my firefly… let me see you come…oh yessss…" purred severus

And the lovely woman who had craved his praise, his admiration, who had fought for him and with him, who had loved him enough to take his name, finally let go, threw herself open to his plea, stepped from the edge of everything she had known up to that point about sex and wizards and herself and him, and allowed the wave to drown them both. Bloom's orgasm picked her up and snapped her in two, like a twig in the hands of a giant, and she cried out over and over, her hips and body thrusting toward his questing, talented mouth. Her magic, freed with this first mating, swirled around them, and Severus felt it push into him, from her eager, innocent body into his greedy mouth, filling him with a power he had never experienced. It was more potent than any drug or potion or spell he had ever cast, and for a moment, his head spun with the feeling.

Suddenly, his body arched, and he could feel his control tear away from him, unraveling down his spine into his balls, and he came with her, his unfettered cock jerking and spurting his issue onto the bedclothes. He barely registered it; he could not stop feasting on her. The combination of his own orgasm and her delicious, addictive essence almost caused him to swoon again. He pushed her beyond her orgasm, his mouth moving feverishly, frenziedly over her dripping folds, helpless in his own power, her salty flavor of her juices ignited a current of desire and lust so powerful in his brain that soon he was painfully hard again. And still, he could not stop, as if she was his only nourishment, and pulling his ravenous mouth away from her sweet core would mean the loss of his life's quintessence.

bloom came again with an orgasm that was breathtaking in its beauty, wonderful and frightening in its intensity. It did not seem possible to live through something this powerful. Her body arched and she shrieked her husband's name until it was impossible to speak, her voice changed to a mewling, wailing growl that had nothing to do with pleasure. Severus was finally able to allow himself to cease his ministrations. He watched his fairy princess, shuddering and spasming, whimpering as her mind tried to cope with the intensity of the sensations he had produced. Severus was awestruck that he could cause something so incredible, and that he was, after all, the first to do so. He felt her quivering, pulsating around his fingers. Her clit thumped and spasmed against his thumb, and he rose from her thighs and took her in his arms.

bloom tried to whisper his name, as her body's pain and pleasure receptors overloaded, claiming her consciousness and sanity…She drifted back to herself slowly, feeling his arms around her, loosely holding her in his embrace. She looked up into the face of the man she knew almost as well as she knew herself, and he looked down at her with a smile that was full of wonder and awe.

"Back amongst the living, ?" purred severus

severus clearly pleased with himself, and was rewarded with a soft, passionate kiss. He deepened it, feeling his own desire overwhelm reason and consideration. He pressed her down against the pillow, plunging his tongue into her mouth, his lips fused with hers, drinking in her moans and mewls, and still she surged against his mouth, demanding more, as greedy and voracious as a little bird he must feed. In a mixture of grace and awkwardness, he pulled himself back, onto his knees, and looked down at his cock, jutting proudly. With his last vestiges of rational thought, he put his arms around bloom's waist and pulled her into a sitting position, drawing her thighs around his slender waist. He put his arms around her and felt her shaking, and he pulled back to read her face. It was beautiful. Flushed, glowing, pupils dilated, her lips almost purple from his punishing, commanding kisses, smiling at him with sensual innocence. His heart almost burst within his chest for love of her, and the dark, salacious lust in his intoxicated mind calmed a little.

"firefly, I want to be gentle. I want to make love to you, but I'm almost too far gone to be tender with you." Purred severus

"I don't care. I know you won't hurt me any more than you have to. I want it hard and fast Please, Severus, it hurts worse to want you this badly!" moaned bloom

Finally, when he could breathe, he opened his eyes. Hermione's eyes were still closed; a faint line between her brows, and even as his vision cleared, he could see it relaxing, and she opened her eyes to gaze into his. She smiled, and tenderly kissed the tears that had trailed from his eyes. bloom was shifting, lying back on the bed again, forcing him to move with her. She was pulling him to her, crying out,

"More! God, Severus, I want more!" cried bloom

Severus all but impaled her on his next thrust. He withdrew, and began to move inside her. Hard. Finally. Her body accepted his rhythm, and they moved together. Severus was well-endowed, and bloom felt as if she were being filled into her womb. It was glorious. She felt his pubic bone grind into hers as his hips churned his body to hers, and he reached between them and fondled her clit as he pounded into her. Bloom looked up into his face, pale and flushed and intense, his eyes wide and unfocused, blank with passion and pleasure, his mouth in an astonished O of bliss. Knowing that she had put this expression on his face filled bloom with power, and she cried out his name. She put her feet flat on the bed to leverage her hips to meet his, her body instinctively knowing what to do. For a moment it felt as if her magic was pouring out of her, and being replaced with Severus'.

He, too, felt her magic begin to swirl, and the faster, the harder his thrusts, the more powerful and pleasurable the feeling of her magic washing over him. It was not soft, gentle, female magic; he'd felt that before. Even a whore who climaxes can experience spontaneous magic. This was hard, powerful shards of magic, that penetrated him like drops of acid on his skin, burning him, burrowing under his flesh. It was the most exquisite pleasure he had ever experienced. It felt rich and potent, perhaps even more powerful magic than his own. And it was innocent magic, and it carved into him like a knife flaying him open to her, peeling the darkness away from him, exposing him to the light. It felt like oxygen and estrogen and smelled erotically clean. He looked down at the fairy straining against him. She was looking into his eyes, and he shook and slammed into her harder.

"My wife," moaned severus

Severus thinking that his heart would burst, that her magic would rush into him and he would explode from the inside out. He wanted it more than anything, anything… And suddenly he was within her mind, sharing their link, seeing through her eyes. Looking up at his own face, he was stunned by the passion he saw in his own visage.Is this how she sees me?he thought, and he smiled down at himself, and Severus realized that he and bloom were now within each other, body and soul. He felt his own body thrusting, nearing its arching, aching completion, and yet he could feel her body receiving his piston-like, driving cock ramming into her, and he knew she could feel it, too. His mind overloaded with sensation and snapped back into his body just as he felt hers gather and shudder around his cock, pulsating around him.

bloom came, screaming his name, thanking him, worshiping him, and at her climax her magic swooped down on both of them and Severus shouted her name as he burst apart. Pain and pleasure and forgiveness and hope blasted him into an ecstasy that was both beautiful and terrifying, and he knew he was going to die. He was going to die in the arms of this succubus, who had stolen his magic and then given it back, more powerful than before. He collapsed against her tender body, trying not to crush her, but unable to think or move… When bloom came back to herself, she opened her eyes to find the room was wrecked. Curtains were torn from the windows; furniture was overturned and clothes hung from sagging drawers. A heavy, shivering weight pinned her to the mattress, and she threw her arms around her husband's neck, frightened and panting still. So this is what fairy mating is like.

The end
