Chapter 15
Chapter 15
As Severus sorted through the morning posts Hermione checked the status of their potion, everything was as it should be.
Hermione set about checking the inventory to see what needed to be replenished. It was monotonous work and gave her a chance to think about the recent events in her life. I can’t believe Lucius, he’s been very possessive of me, but now, he had Severus join us. Not that I mind, really, I’d be an idiot to protest to having two hot wizards all to myself. What witch would turn that down? But, why now? Maybe I shouldn’t try to analyze any of this just enjoy and see what happens. Yes, that would be the sensible thing to do.
She walked into the office she shared with Severus he was sitting at his desk, head down with quill in hand… writing. She blushed as she remembered their activities earlier this morning and the previous evening. There had always been speculation amongst the older female student population at Hogwarts about the Potions master’s prowess in the bedroom. Most believed he was probably quite passionate between the sheets. Oh, how she wished she could tell them all how right there where!
Severus could feel her looking at him, he always found that disconcerting. “Is something wrong?” he asked Hermione as he looked up at her.
“Uh, no, I just went over our inventory, we’re low on some things, and I was wondering if there was anything you wanted to add before I sent the order off?”
“Yes, order six inches of Birch bark and 2 ounces of Tibetian spring water.”
Hermione’s eyebrow rose almost to her hairline, “Another experiment?”
“No, St. Mungo’s sent an owl to us this morning. They have a patient that is in need of the Draught of Purification, hence the need for the spring water.”
“I’ll ask for a rush on that then, anything else?”
“No, I think that’s all we’ll need.”
Hermione sent off the owl with the order and set out to clean up and reorganize her desk. As she bent down, to place some files into the cabinet she jumped as she felt two hands caress her hips, as she stood up he turned her around to face him, “Why?”
“Why what, Severus?”
“Last night, you said you were ‘attracted to me’ why?”
“Why not?”
“I do own a mirror, Hermione I know what I look like.”
Hermione stared at him in disbelief, “Do you think I’m that shallow? What’s on the outside isn’t the only thing that attracts me, Severus. You have a brilliant mind, sarcastic wit, and you’re able to converse intelligently about numerous subjects. I also find tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed, thin, toned, older men attractive. I want a man who knows what he’s doing in the bedroom.”
Severus stood there astounded as Hermione continued to ramble on.
“I also think you are the bravest, most loyal and dedicated man I’ve ever met. Now, if you still believe I’m shallow, well there’s nothing more I can do to dissuade you of that opinion.”
Severus did the only thing he could to do at that moment he drew her into his arms and kissed her long and with a passion he hadn’t felt in years.
“You are quite a marvellous woman, my dear. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve your attention, but I will not question it.”
It was now, Hermione’s turn to be astounded. “I have a question for you, Severus.”
“Don’t you always?” he said as he still held her close to him.
“Why did you agree to join Lucius and me?”
Severus wasn’t sure if he should tell the whole truth to that question, if she knew his true feeling for her…
“I’ve found myself quite attracted to you for sometime also. I would have been a fool to turn Lucius’ proposition down. How else could I have become closer to you? Believe me when I say, Hermione Jane Granger, that when whatever this arrangement you have with Lucius plays out, I will be there waiting to claim to you as my witch. That is if you’ll still have me.”
Hermione was speechless she had no idea that Severus was attracted to her at all.
He watched in amusement the affect on her that his statement caused, her jaw dropped and if she wore glasses, her eyes would have looked like Trelawney’s.
Taking her chin, he gently closed her mouth, “Do close your mouth, Hermione, or something may fly in. Hmm, maybe I should mark this day on my calendar, Hermione Granger was rendered speechless,” he said in a teasing tone.
Coming back to her senses, she playfully slapped his chest, “Not funny. That came from out of nowhere, I never suspected…”
He released her from his embrace and stepped back a bit to give them both some personal space as they talked.
“Why would you have, I’m not known for being easy to read. I am a Slytherin and I was a spy for a good number of years, I know how to keep my secrets.”
“Point taken, but I’m not quite sure how to respond to that statement. I’m with Lucius, for now anyway, and I’m not quite sure where that is leading to, if anywhere at all.”
“Perhaps we should just let things take their natural course,
with a bit of prodding on my part to help insure the outcome I want. “and in the interim, we can become more intimately acquainted shall we say,” said Severus as he looked at her lustfully.
Hermione’s thoughts were whirling about her mind there were several ways she could think of to handle this…but she didn’t want to give up Lucius or Severus. Not right now, she enjoyed last night too much, she wasn’t ready to give that scenario up. She wasn’t sure how much longer things would continue with Lucius, it could be weeks, months, or years. Developing a relationship with Severus was something she never gave herself permission to even think about he always seemed off limits in that respect.
“I think that would be the best way to handle this situation, I don’t think I could choose between the two of you.”
“I would never ask that of you. However, I do ask that you keep this conversation between us. Lucius may come to the wrong conclusion and think I’m conspiring to ‘steal’ you from him.”
“He has been a bit possessive of me lately, I do hate to keep things from him, but I agree he might get the wrong impression.”
Severus drew her into his arms once again, “A kiss to seal the deal?”
Hermione smiled as she rose up on her toes, her arms came around his neck pulling him down as their lips met in a kiss that promised to explore the possibilities of the future together.
The End?

A/N: I'm sorry it has taken so long to post this and I do hope someone is still reading it! Bue, yes it’s the end, for now. I’m leaving it open to a possible sequel in the not too distant future. Thanks to all for sticking with this story and all the wonderful reviews, I’ve received.
