Over the next two weeks Snape worked on nothing else but Tonks’s case. It left Hermione to take over his normal brewing for the hospital wing and Saint Mungo’s. She didn’t hate it though, it amazed her how close they’d gotten in the short amount of time and though she would never say it aloud (because it’s kind of rude) Tonks’s sickness had brought them closer. They were still playing the game in the evenings and learning about one another but it wasn’t in shock or embarrassment. Though the sexual questions were odd they were insightful and she now knew that he had kissed Lucius on the mouth when he was sixteen because he had hoped that he was gay. He explained that he thought it would be easier to get over Lily if he was gay but he wasn’t and now had to put up with sex-jokes from Lucius.
“Have you found anything?” Hermione asked as she walked in to his office after a longer than normal day at the office “I hope so”
“Well” He leaned back and kissed her “I think so. But I really need her to tell Remus…because I need to test him”
“Do you think it’s like…some sort of sexually transmitted disease or something?” Hermione asked rubbing her arms against the cold “Why didn’t you light the fire?”
“I’m sorry” He said “I was busy and on a roll”
“Have you eaten at all?” She asked.
“This morning” He admitted and she frowned at him “Then I had a few classes and because of the cold in the dungeons, Albus told the students that were in my afternoon classes that they didn’t have to go…they could have a ‘snow day’ so I’ve been in here”
“Come here” She said as she pointed her wand at the fireplace and flames climbed the chimney a second later. She took his hands in hers and shook her head as she rubbed them between her own cool ones “Your hands are like ice. It’s December Severus, do you know what December means?” He smirked “It means really bloody cold, which means that you need to keep warm and take care of yourself!” She pulled him closer to her “What happens if you get sick?!”
“I get sick…” He pointed out.
“Then you can’t work on Tonks’s case” She pointed out “You’ll have to find someone to take your classes, you’ll be a complete prick and I’ll have to take time off of work to take care of you!”
“You wouldn’t…” He started but she gave him a look that he’d realized meant he shouldn’t argue. She stood up, looked around for a moment and then pulled him to his feet again.
“Come on” She said “The house-elves will let us know when this room is warm enough to come back to. Until then we are going back to my room to eat and talk”
“But…” He started and there was another look so he shut his mouth.
Hermione’s rooms were warm and inviting when they entered. He breathed a sigh of relief and could actually feel his body shaking from so much time spent in the cold. He hadn’t realized how cold or even how hungry he was until he was sitting on the comfortable couch with Hermione before the cheery fire eating a thick and hearty beef stew with thick homemade bread. Hermione was sitting next to him with a glass of wine just watching him eat in amusement. When he was done he leaned back and glared at her, he didn’t like being watched but as he learned from the game, Hermione was a watcher, which also extended to the bedroom…she apparently liked to watch her partner masturbate. He never would have assumed that the goody-goody Gryffindor princess, Hermione Granger would be such a kinky little freak. Soon to be his kinky little freak.
“I picked a card” She teased him with it “The question is…” She looked at it and sighed “Do you love me?”
“Do I love you?” He asked and she could see the magic of the game pulsing through him but worried he wouldn’t answer and then she would be waiting for his answer “I don’t know. I feel greatly for you, but these aren’t the best of circumstances to be in and I fear that you won’t feel the same way” He shook his head and cursed the spell for making him admit that.
“I think that I could love you” She said honestly “In time I could be completely in-love with you” He picked up a card.
“Do you think you can love me as much as you loved Weasley?” He asked.
“More” She answered “I love Ronald like a brother but I could love you more, as my husband” The words bled through the card so she could read it “Will you love me as much as you loved Lily Evans?”
“I put Lily on a pedestal” He answered “She knew my past, the horrors that plagued me and she knew about my moods and why I had them. I love the memory I have of the best friend I lost when I was fifteen, not the woman who died when we were twenty” He was fighting the magic but was also trying (in vein) to keep his feelings to himself finally he sighed “I love her the same way you love Weasley. A love that will always be there but now that I have you in my life, not as a student but as my soon-to-be wife, I don’t feel the need to hide behind that love anymore”
“Thank you” Hermione said rolling her eyes at his roundabout way of answering “I have a question that’s not on the cards yet”
“What?” He asked
“What happened in your past?” She looked at him with her eyes wide and he felt his heard start to pound.
“That” He said “Is a hard story to tell, my dear”
“I understand” She answered, it was too soon to ask but she really did want to know what happened to him. What had given him such low self-esteem, that made him hate muggles as much as he once did and what drove him in to Voldemort’s circle. But she would have to wait, that was fine, there were some things that she hadn’t told him. Nothing too dark but darker than he would assume she was capable, the memories of such acts that she had done send a tingle down her spine.

“Do you have something to tell me?” Remus asked his wife when once again she had come home late from “work” when he knew damn well she had been in Snape’s private labs.
“No” She laughed and put her hand to her head “Remus, I’m tired. Please, I just want to go to bed”
“Then why don’t you go sleep in Severus’s bed?” He hissed and she turned quickly to look at him, grabbing the table nearest her to wait out the dizziness that had been plaguing her for last couple of days.
“What?” She asked “That’s mental”
“I’ve seen you two” He told her “I knew you were young when I married you but I convinced myself that it was okay because you loved me…”
“I do…” She tried.
“But now I see that you are a whore!” He growled “I will keep custody of my son but I don’t want you around here anymore” He started to walk away.
“Please” She pleaded “You don’t understand. Yes, I have been spending time with Severus and no I wasn’t at work today but…it’s not what you think”
“How can you do this to Hermione?!” He turned back “She is going to be so hurt and on top of that she’s going to be forced to marry someone she doesn’t know!” He shook his head at her “And why?” She was sobbing “Because Tonks can’t keep her legs together. I thought you were merely lying about taking the birth control potions because I could never find them but it was so much worse…you are hurting everyone around you!” Tears filled his own eyes “You selfish bitch”
“Remus please” She begged but he was walking away “Don’t walk away!” She leaned against the wall and watched him “I’m dying”
“What?” He stopped and turned back to her.
“I’m sick” She said “I think I’ve been sick for the past year but I really noticed it about three, almost four months now. I’ve seen healer after healer including muggle healers and no one can seem to figure it out” She looked at her feet “I have been spending all my time with Severus but it’s because he’s been trying to find a cure or at least find out what’s wrong with me”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” His teeth were clenched and he was shaking but she wasn’t sure if it was from anger or fear “I could have helped you”
“I didn’t want to bother you” She answered “I thought that it would be a quick fix and when I found out that it wasn’t…you already had so much on your plate”
“You are my wife” He said “I just accused you of sleeping with Severus are you happy with that?”
“No” She said “But it doesn’t change anything. Severus needed me to tell you so he could run tests on you too”
“Why?” Remus asked.
“I don’t know” She answered “He didn’t want to tell me until he knew for certain”
“We should go ask him” Remus snatched her arm up and pulled her through the hallways. He wasn’t sure why he was being such a jerk, he should be happy that she wasn’t cheating on him but in all honesty he was sure that it would be easier or better if she had been. They stopped outside Hermione’s rooms, he had seen them enter there a few hours before now and he assumed they were still there. He knocked and waited impatiently, knocking again and again. Finally, the door was thrown open and Severus was standing there in his black pants and open white button down shirt, his hair was messed up and he was breathing heavily.
“What?!” He snapped his eyes blazing “What do you want, Lupin?”
“Sorry to interrupt you” Remus sneered making the other man raise his eyebrows in surprise “But my sick wife here says you need samples from me and I want to know why”
“Now is not a good time” Severus hissed at him looking behind him.
“I think it’s a wonderful time” Remus growled and pushed his way in to the room. Hermione gasped and pulled her blanket around her, Tonks’s face lit up in curiosity and amusement.
“Hermione” Tonks said “Are you not wearing a shirt?”
“Get out!” She gasped “Remus…you just almost got an eyeful” He gave her a nasty glare then turned back to Severus.
“Why” He said “Is it important to have a sample from me?”
“Because!” Severus snapped moving closer “I think the Lycanthropy in your system is having an effect her”
“You think she’s turning in to a werewolf because of my sperm?” Remus asked, honestly shocked at the mere thought.
“I don’t think it’s changing her but I think it is making her sick” Severus said “I need a…sample from you to see how strong the Lycanthropy is in the semen I already have a few samples from her”
“You have seen my wife’s…” Remus was pissed again
“I had Poppy do that” Severus soothed “But you know, if you don’t want my help then find someone else but right now…I’m busy”
