A/N: Thanks for all
the reviews, I don�t know if some got erased earlier, but I had to re-post
chapters 7-10� AJ: no sandalwood was or will be involved in the telling of this
story, only the pungent aroma of manliness. As for the monitoring, I put a
teacher in there to watch them for a reason � this way, the �watchers� would be
sure to tell the other teachers why they would be in there, and anyhow, I think
Dumbledore would enjoy pissing off Snape (remember what came out of his
Christmas cracker in the third book? You KNOW Albus did that on purpose!) And
ADR � I wanted Hermione�s reaction to be a bit different than usual�she was
already getting nervous about it, so it was mainly a panic attack.

**********************************************************************

The scene at Twelve
Grimmauld Place was one of intense
embarrassment. Hermione had just
announced (albeit unknowingly) that Ginny had witnessed the first five acts of
�intimacy� between her and Professor Snape, and the other Order members were
trying to find somewhere else to look.
Kingsley Shacklebolt was engaged in an intent study of the fireplace,
Remus Lupin was suddenly interested in the shag carpeting, Sturgis Podmore was busily combing his hair;
Hestia Jones, Emmeline Vance and Tonks clustered together and began whispering
in a brisk sort of way, occasionally shooting glances over their shoulders at
the furious Potions Master who was glaring about the room as if daring anyone
to meet his eyes.

Sirius Black, on the other hand, had no problem discussing
the matter. �Only five times, Snivellus? Even a flobberworm could do bett-� he
was cut off abruptly, having been hit with a Jelly-Legs Jinx that made him
wobble around wildly. He glared at
Severus who looked a bit astonished, but pleased all the same.

Hermione smoothly placed her wand back in the folds of her
scarf while Ginny goggled at her in astonishment � she had thought Hermione
liked Sirius. What she didn�t know was
that the bond between Hermione and Severus had carried the reaction to the �nickname�
to her friend�the feelings it had stirred had prompted her to act against
Harry�s godfather.

Beside them, Harry and Ron looked bewildered � where had the
Jinx come from? They hadn�t seen anyone with a wand out. Ron was clearly glad to be distracted�at
Hermione�s earlier pronouncement he had been seized with the urge to start
banging his head against the wall, a l� Dobby.
The elder Weasleys pretended that they never heard it to begin with, and
they all heard Arthur picking up the conversation about the cabinet again. Molly swept about the room offering everyone
scones and gave Hermione a broad grin as well as a wink as she instructed the
young witch to take at least three scones, she would need her strength. At this, Hestia, Emmeline and Tonks began to
giggle loudly and look at Snape more openly.
Sirius was still a bit too wobbly to reach his wand (it was lying on the
mantle) and contented himself with glowering over at Hermione�s fianc�.

The Order broke up into smaller groups throughout the house,
and the witches, having gotten rid of the wizards (Severus had been hustled out
of the room by Kingsley and Sturgis, who were dying to know how their fellow
wizard had bagged such a beautiful young witch), they descended upon Hermione like vultures on
a battlefield. �So, you said the first five times, how many times in all were there?� �How�d you manage it? Nothing short of setting that man�s robes on
fire would make him take them off!� �So,
how long is he good for? I mean, at a time?�
�What�s he look like naked?� �Tell
us the truth, Granger: how big is he?�

Hermione looked at the witched clustered around her, eagerly
awaiting her answer. �Why should I tell
you anything?� she countered. �Why do you want to know all this, anyhow?�

Tonks ran her fingers through her electric blue hair,
shaking her head impatiently. �Because
we�re witches, and witches tell each other things. And we want to know because we�d tell you if you asked. And speaking of
that, I have news to report about Remus as soon as you�re finished giving us
the goods on Severus. Oi! Molly, get in here!
�Mione�s gonna tell us about Snape!�
Molly Weasley appeared as if Apparating, dropping into a chair and
leaning forward eagerly.

Hermione leaned back and grinned. Well, if they truly wanted to know, they
would find out sooner or later � and from Ginny � so she didn�t mind telling
them. �Okay. About seven times, if you count Oral. And I made him strip in front of me before he
even saw a single bra strap. He can go
for hours, he looks amazing nude � you�ve seen those ancient Greek
statues? Just like them�a bit more
built, though. Oh, and the last question?�
Her eyes sparkled as she held her hands up and measured a distance
between them, making her listeners gasp with astonishment and exclaim that
they�d never think of mythology in quite the same way ever again. Or Severus Snape, for that matter.

The elegant Emmeline adjusted her shawl, grinning as Hestia
tossed her black hair from her shoulders and exclaimed that she was only a few dates away from
giving them �the dirt� on Sturgis, but what did Tonks have to say about
Remus? The other witch blushed slightly,
then dove into a detailed reconstruction of her getting the werewolf drunk and
having her way with him. Molly Weasley
started violently and tugged Ginny from the room just as Tonks was telling them
how loudly Remus could howl as he was climaxing. They all shrieked with laughter at this, and
Hermione couldn�t resist repeating it to Severus, feeling his intense amusement
as well as his struggle to keep from laughing aloud.

***********************************************************************

Hermione waited patiently for Severus to finish brewing the
Wolfsbane Potion. The rest of the Order
had dispersed � after a final wink to the couple, Dumbledore had Disapparated
back to Hogwarts, Hestia had �forced� a willing Sturgis upstairs to her room,
and Ron had gone to bed while Ginny and Harry made out wildly on the sofa. She assumed Tonks and Remus were having one
last go of it before the full moon, judging from the rhythmic thumps issuing
from their room. Sirius had taken off
earlier, saying that he had a date at the Three Broomsticks�Hermione had
pressed, but he wouldn�t tell her who he was seeing, on the grounds that she
would tell �that ridiculous git she was intending to marry.� He had also scolded her quite soundly � she
was supposedly the brightest witch of her age, and she had picked Snape? She wished him a good night rather coldly and
suppressed the urge to send a Tap-Dancing Hex after him. She looked back at Severus, who was stirring
the cauldron intently, his black eyes focused on the mixture inside it. His hair hung in his face and as she watched,
he tossed his head to get it out of his eyes.
She walked up behind him and gathered his hair back into a ponytail,
tying it back and kissing his neck suggestively. �Are you almost done? I�m feeling lonely,� she whispered in his
ear, nibbling on the earlobe gently.

He gave her a hot-eyed glance and reached for a container
for the Potion. As he began to ladle it
in carefully, she sank to her knees in front of him and began to unzip his
jeans. �What are you doing? The door
isn�t closed,� he warned, almost spilling the Wolfsbane as she reached inside
the jeans and pulled out his semi-flaccid erection. She stroked him into a rock-hard state and
wrapped her lips around his aching cock.
Hermione, we can be back at the
Manor in five minutes�or I can take you upstairs� She pulled off of him
with a loud, obscene noise and looked up at him, grinning.

�I want to do what we did on my birthday�do you
remember? I want this now, and then we
can go make love,� she said, fondling his balls and making his cock twitch with
need. Out of the corner of her eye she
had seen Ginny and Harry break off their kiss and watch what she was doing �
poor Harry looked like he might faint, seeing one of his oldest friends giving
their Potions teacher head. Now they
looked very interested, and snuck glances at each other. She carefully blocked off that thought so
Severus wouldn�t catch it�he would kill Ginny for sure this time, and Harry
wouldn�t be much better off. She leaned
in again to take him in her mouth as he wound his fingers in her hair to
encourage her. As she sucked him to climax,
she again pulled her head back and began to work him with her hands, fervently
pumping her fist up and down his distended shaft. She felt the tremors building inside him and parted
her lips as he detonated, the white cream gushing into her mouth. Hermione swallowed slowly, savoring the feel
of Severus sliding down her throat � she licked his still-erect penis clean of
any remaining sperm and tucked him carefully back inside the jeans, fastening
them. Am I such a deviant, that I love doing that so much, Severus? She
asked as he helped her to her feet and kissed her. He smiled at her and told her to wait for
him, he just had to bottle this mess up for Lupin and he would take her
home. Hermione glanced over to the door
where she could see the back of the couch and�the back of Ginny�s head bobbing
up and down! Apparently Harry was
reaping the rewards of their spying.

Severus took the stairs three at a time, unwilling to spend
another moment at the horrid house while Hermione was waiting for him to take
her home with him. As he approached the
door to Lupin�s room, he heard a strange whining noise that rose into a series
of hoarse barks, and up into a resounding howl.
Shaking his head and grinning slightly, he sealed the bottle with magic
and placed it outside the door, where he could still hear rapid panting. He went back down to Hermione and found her
helping to clean up, as eager to be gone as he was. As he came up behind her, a gasping noise
startled him into turning, but he turned back to his fianc�e as he identified
the source of the disturbance as Ginny and Potter flailing about on the
sofa. �You wouldn�t believe what I just
heard upstairs,� he said conversationally, reaching past Hermione to take the vials
off the countertop. �I thought you were
just trying to make me laugh, earlier.�
He reached out to her mind and placed the memory where she could view
it. She clapped a hand to her mouth and
began laughing, leaning into his chest to muffle her amusement. When her
giggles had wound down, she cuddled against him and asked him to take her
home. He placed a kiss on the top of her
head and wrapped his arms around her, Disapparating. At the tell-tale crack, Ginny and Harry broke
apart guiltily, looking around them wildly.

******

Back at the Manor, Severus scooped her up into his arms and
carried her to their room, sending a nonverbal spell ahead of him to light the
fire and candles. Hermione wriggled in
his grasp, claiming that she needed to shower again and perhaps he could help
her. He sat her down in the huge marble
chamber and ran a bath in the large tub while she watched him silently. �Severus?� she called, biting her lip
slightly. He turned, surprised at the
uncertain tone in her voice. �I think we
need to go see my parents tomorrow, and tell them about us.� She shifted
uncomfortably. �They think that you�re
just my professor and I�m helping you with something important. I don�t want to lie to them.� He looked at her thoughtfully, a frown
beginning to crease his brow, and she held her breath to wait for his reply.

He laid a charm on the water to keep it hot, and came to
kneel before her, looking up into her face.
�Do you really think I would mind?�
He had seen her hesitation, her uncertainty, and a small burst of anger
expanded inside him. They had loved each
other for more than two years, had made that love into a very tangible thing
these past few days, and she was afraid
of him? �I saw into your mind; saw what
you told them as soon as my missive was delivered. Remember?
You said, �he�s Head of Slytherin.�
What does that tell you? That
they know that I am not only a Slytherin, but their leader. I can only assume that you have lived up to
your know-it-all status and told them exactly what characteristics a Slytherin
has.� He noted absently that her eyes
were wide and starting to fill with tears as his voice became more and more
intense. �Slytherins get what they want,
by any means necessary. I have no qualms
about seeing your parents, and no reason to be ashamed. I told them exactly what I intended in that
letter, and if they took it to mean that I required your presence for a
school-related purpose, then it is no fault of mine. Apparently you must think I intend to keep
this relationship a secret even though my ring sits on your finger and tells
the world how highly I think of you. And
you�re forgetting that I have already met Wanda and Stephen, and that they had
high opinions of me as �Septimus� � I have no problem going there with you
tomorrow or any other day, and for you to assume that I do is insulting. Do you still want to bathe, or not?� He stood and held out a hand to help her
up.

She looked up at him and wiped the tears from her eyes
roughly with a sleeve, sniffling. �Yes,�
she mumbled, putting her hand in his and letting him lift her to her feet. �Severus�I didn�t mean to imply you weren�t
honorable, it�s just�well, sometimes when you don�t want to do things you can
be a bit�formidable.� She felt relief
wash through her as she saw his frown disappear. �I love you so much, and don�t really want to
go there at all, but parents like mine love to make you feel guilty about
stuff. My mum�s Mistress of the Guilt
Trip�if I didn�t tell her soon enough, she�d never let me forget about it. If it were up to me, I�d just keep you in bed
all day instead of going anywhere,� she said shyly, still not quite used to
being so forward with the Potions Master.
He drew her into his arms and she went gladly � if that was what it felt
like to be fighting, she didn�t like it at all�she�d rather be doing this, pressed up against the wizard she
loved. His laugh rumbled in her ears and
she pulled away to look up questioningly.

�That, love, wasn�t even close to a fight. When we have a fight, and believe me it�ll
happen, you�ll know it.� Severus ran an
appraising eye over her. �Now, I think
you�re a bit overdressed for a bath�� he helped her out of her clothes and led
her over to the large tub where he bid her stay. He pulled off his sweater, boots and jeans,
stepping into the water behind her. They lay back in the water and he spread
his legs so that she could fit against him better. Hermione snuggled against him, still a bit
miffed at his earlier outburst, and decided to sneak into his mind�she was
shocked at what she found, and twisted to face him.

�Oh, Severus�how could you think I was afraid of you? I
mean, sure, you terrified me when I was eleven all the way up to sixteen � but
not now.� His face was expressionless as
he looked back at her, and she reached up a hand to touch his cheek gently. �You are irrepressible, irascible,
short-tempered and irritable, Severus Snape.
I think that�s part of the reason I love you so much. I�m well acquainted with
your�mercurial�.nature, and it doesn�t bother me, so I want you to stop worrying
about it. Now, I asked for help bathing, and I intend to get it,� she warned,
looking at him severely and brandishing the sponge. She leaned in to kiss him reassuringly as he
swiped it from her.

She closed her eyes in delight as his hands moved over her
to soap her up �he gathered her breasts in his hands and slid his palms over the
erect nipples, then rolling them between his fingertips and sending shocks of
pleasure through her. Severus� she sighed as he began to wash
her back and hips, and smiled as he released the sponge to walk his fingers
over her hips and play his hand between her legs. Hermione gasped as he slid two fingers inside
her and pulled them out slowly � she gasped again, this time in protest as he
retrieved the sponge and returned to bathing her. He ducked her beneath the water and lathered
up her hair, working his long pale fingers into the chestnut strands. Severus reached over the side for his wand,
laying another Charm on the water to keep it clean after all the soap had been
washed off. Hermione wiggled in his
grasp again, twisting so that she sat on his lap in the water, wrapping her
legs around his waist. It�s your turn now, you dirty old Slytherin,
she teased. She tormented her lover by
washing his whole body slowly but leaving one area untouched � when he gripped
her wrist and forced her hand down to it, she laughed and allowed it but
fondled him as briefly as he had touched her earlier. Severus pulled her closer for a kiss and as
Hermione surrendered her lips to him, she felt the familiar jerk of Disapparation.

She clutched at him in panic and felt his laughter as they
Apparated on the blankets before the fire.
�Severus Snape! You�d better WARN
me next time,� she yelled, slapping his bare chest irritably. He made sure that she forgave him�several
times.

******************************************************************

In the morning, Hermione sent one of her lover�s owls to her
parents with a quick explanation of why they would be coming by later in the
day�she made sure to remind them that her fianc� was the ultimate Slytherin, and
that if they expected him to be nervous they would be in for a major
disappointment. Severus laughed when she
told him what she had written and they ate a leisurely breakfast he prepared
for them, disrupted only once by the Potions Master wanting to take advantage
of her one last time before they departed for the Grangers house. Hermione rolled her eyes when she saw what
clothes he was pulling on � full dress robes.
�What?� he exclaimed as he caught her expression. She shook her head and hid her grin. Typical Severus. He was most likely going for the intimidation
factor, she thought. �I heard that,� he announced.

They Apparated in the Granger�s storage shed, nearly on top
of a pile of yard tools. �That could
have been disastrous,� she said, and smiled at Severus� fervent agreement � his
manhood had been two inches away from a pitchfork. With a quick Alohamora they were out of the shed and almost up to the doorstep
when Severus suddenly realized what his lover was wearing � white jeans and a
lavender sweater with hearts on it. Couldn�t you have worn something that
screamed �I�m a child being molested by my professor� just a little louder? He sent
acerbically. She shushed him as the door
opened to reveal Stephen and Wanda Granger.
Hermione ran to embrace her parents and had to stifle an outbreak of
nervous laughter as the Grangers turned from her to Severus. He had drawn himself up to his full height
and swirled his cloak around him so that it fluttered impressively in the cool
breeze � his arms were folded in an imperious manner and his expression would
have cowed a gargoyle. �Mum, Dad, this
is Severus. My fianc�,� she said, making
a bit of a �ta da!� gesture towards him.

He remained silent, inclining his head as Wanda and Stephen
stared at him, their mouths opening and closing. When Hermione jabbed him in the ribs sharply
with her wand, he fixed his eyes upon Hermione�s mother. �You may remember me from two years ago,
under the name of Septimus,� he drawled, tossing his head slightly. Recognition dawned in their eyes, quickly
replaced with confusion, and he explained about the age potion. Stephen invited him inside, with Hermione
hovering worriedly nearby; she was clearly afraid that he would say something
outrageous. They spent the day discussing
their plans for their wedding as well as for a family and Severus couldn�t
resist telling them that he intended to keep Hermione barefoot and pregnant�he
quickly retracted this statement as his fianc�e drew her wand on him and her
parents laughed. The subject of his
luring Hermione away on her birthday rose only once, and wasn�t brought up
again when it became clear to the Grangers that their daughter�s wizard was not
only clearly unrepentant, but he intended to keep her with him (in accordance with
her wishes, of course) for the remainder of the holiday. However, the Grangers could feel free to
visit them, should they feel the urge.
Her parents were very impressed by the wizard�s bearing and the fact
that he quite clearly adored their daughter and would do anything for her.

**********************************************************************

They spent the rest of the summer holiday either visiting
her parents and taking them on trips into the wizarding world, going to Order
meetings, or simply staying at the Manor and making love. Finally, it was time to return to Hogwarts
and both witch and wizard had preparations to make that left them with little
time for each other. Severus dropped
Hermione off at her parents with her list of books and supplies � they would
have to arrive separately so as not to cause any controversy, and Hermione
clung to him tightly before he had to unwind her arms from about his
waist. �I have to go now, love�it�s back
to professor and student, for us.� He kissed her a final time, bid her parents
farewell, then Disapparated to the main gates of Hogwarts.
