CH 19 WHY

Zephyr, Thanks babe

Thanks at the bottom

Not mine.

�I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...�

Why, Annie Lennox

Severus left the Great hall first, saying he had things to attend to, and that he would be in the potions lab when she was ready to talk.

She sat back in her chair, lost in thought. She didn�t know what to say to him. In all her determination to have it out with him, she hadn�t actually thought about what to say without turning it into a slinging match, or, knowing them, a full on fistfight.

She stood up, excused herself to the others and headed off to the dungeons, to get ready for a standoff with her would be lover.

Albus and Minerva watched her leave.

"You see; everything is fine now. They just needed a good talking to. I�m sure they�ve worked out their differences." Said Albus, smiling at Hermione�s retreating back.

"She is right about you, you know?" Said Minerva casually. "You have completely lost it, if you think that everything is alright between them."

Albus turned to look at his companion in surprise, "That was a bit harsh my Love, what am I missing?"

"Hermione�s very weak speech just now... That is not what she had planned to tell everyone. I think they have become... shall we say, romantically involved."

Albus�s eyes lit up. "Well that�s wonderful news, why wouldn�t they be alright, they are perfect for each other?"

"Because, as you put it in your office, they are so alike. I don�t think we�ve seen the last of the fireworks." She reached over to lightly touch his hand

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; If there is any reaction, both are transformed.*" She gave him a small smile, and told him she would see him later.

What she failed to tell him was that she had been out last night in her animagus form and had witnessed everything that had gone on between the two of them and was very worried.

~*~*~*~*~

Severus was tense. She had outwitted him and he didn�t like it. Now she was coming to discuss the previous evening with him and he wasn�t ready. It should have been him to force her into a meeting not the other way around. He had every right after what he had found out about her.

(I am not in the wrong here, I didn�t lie to her.)

"Oh yes Severus, that�s a sure fire way to get your nose broken again."

He said to himself as he started to brew Lupin�s Wolfsbane potion. He immersed himself in his work for the next hour and when he looked up, she was leaning in the doorway to his lab.

She had on blue jeans and a white shirt with her robes thrown over the top, and the usual full face of dark eye make up and lipstick, her hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail.

"Why do you wear so much make up?" He asked bluntly, mentally sewing up his lips to stop them working of their own accord.

She smiled sweetly at him. "Why don�t we start this conversation again, only I�ll go first, that way there�s less chance of you getting hurt."

He raised one eyebrow, but said nothing.

She cast a silencing charm on the room and pulled up a stool and sat down. "Come on then, why the big tantrum? I could hear you going into one all night."

"I do not," he sneered, "have tantrums, I am forty years old."

"Then it�s about time you started acting it, don�t you think?"

He slammed his hands down on the table, between them. "Damn it Hermione, don�t come in here spoiling for a fight. If you want to talk to me then talk, but do it without the holier than thou attitude, or get out of my lab."

She paused for a moment then. "Why did you walk away from me last night?"

"Because I had some things to sort out and I assumed that our business was concluded.� He said business like it was a dirty word, he had meant to tell her, everything he knew, but for some reason he couldn�t form the words.

"Our business was concluded? What the hell does that mean?"

"That what�s done is done." She stood up, hands on hips

"Bullshit, don�t you dare give me the brush off."

"I�m sorry if you thought it meant more." He said returning to his potion and not looking sorry at all.

"Oh I know it meant more Severus, you are a good liar, but not that good and I can see right through you. What was all that in the great hall about the fuck of your life?"

"I was bluffing." He walked around the table to where she was standing. "Listen to me Hermione, and listen good. There is a war being fought outside these castle walls. That should be your first priority, that and the welfare of everyone here, not this."

"You bastard, my priority has always been to protect those in need of it and you know it.
Don�t try to make me feel bad because it won�t wash. I know you felt something out there, you are not completely emotionless, despite what people say." She had known this was going to happen. She had vowed not to get involved with anyone, while this war was being fought. But he had dragged her hidden emotions out in the open, and as tough as she was, she was still only human.
He had acted as though he cared for her, last night but now they were in different surroundings he was completely cutting himself off. She would never admit to anyone, how much he was hurting her.

"Why are you getting so worked up about this Hermione? It was sex. You have obviously done it before. I cannot see what all the fuss is about." It was tearing him apart to say these things to her. He did have feelings for her, strong feelings. The emotions he had felt last night were more powerful than anything he had ever experienced.

He hasn�t been involved with anyonr a r a long time; she made him feel so alive. But all the deatheater in him could see, was Lucius Malfoy�s cast-offs.

"The fuss is about you storming off last night and then by the sound of it, trashing your rooms. I want to know what happened." She demanded.

"You want to know? Really?" He sneered, his anger getting the better of him

"No, I�m just passing the time down here until my next conquest comes along." She said sarcastically.

"Well Hermione, the bottom line is this, you lied to me, and I don�t have time for liars."

"What are you talking about? why would I lie to you? I have nothing to hide." She shouted.

"Do you know that Lucius Malfoy, in his warped mind, still considers me to be his closest friend? He tells me everything." He said, emphasizing the last word, and waiting for it to sink in.

Hermione went very pale. It all clicked into place, and she had a good idea of what was coming next.

"That�s right my dear, I know all about you. I�m just wondering how, if you have never slept with any deatheaters because, as you rightly say, they are animals, you ended up getting fucked, and Merlin knows what else, by Lucius Malfoy for six months? That, my dear is why I want nothing more to do with you."

She felt the tears in her eyes and blinked them back
"Fine," she snarled, "as long as I know. Next time I want sex I won�t bother with a pathetic excuse of a man like you. I�d rather sleep with him again." She said nastily, turning and calmly walking out.

Kate ; I�m (smut) not usually swayed (smut) by subliminal messages (naked Sev) but keep reading (Hot sex) and you never know (Possible smut filled happy ending) thanks mate!
Shem ; Thanks for letting me know mate, don�t overload yourself with too much work (Oh bloody hell, have turned into my mother) If you are really tired I could always look after Sev for you!!

I�m off for another tattoo in a couple of weeks (I�m addicted, I have 4 already!!) You are right about Hermione. Don�t get me wrong, she is a tough chick, but she�s still only human, and as a race, we are quite fragile, emotionally!

Thanks to you all for the lovely reviews, again! I can�t believe you are all still with me (or rather my story, not me personally, bit far for some of you to come!!)

I am sorry about the slow updating, but there are a couple of reasons.

1) I am having terrible trouble getting onto this site at the moment. It has taken me since Friday to get this chapter uploaded, but that might just be down to my crappy computer!!

and

2) I have the worse case of writers block ever! and am at an absolute standstill at chapter 28, so please bear with me. I�m sure my muse will be back from her drunken binge soon and all will be well with the world!

Big kisses
GrrArrg
