When Hermione awoke in Severus’ bed the next morning, he was still snoring peacefully beside her. She gave him a small peck on the cheek before reaching to her bedside table to reread Professor McGonagall’s letter. She opened the drawer to extract parchment and quill and began composing a list of all the things she needed to prepare for the semester. On one side she listed the books Professor McGonagall asked her to bring for classes (most of which she already owned) and on the other side she listed items she would need to purchase. By the time her list was complete, Severus began stirring beside her.
He stretched and let out a deep sigh as he rolled on his side to wrap his arm around Hermione’s waist.
“What are you doing?” His voice was laced with the grogginess associated with waking and he did not open his eyes or move away from her. He enjoyed the feeling of her warm body tucked beneath his arm.
“Making a packing list. I’ll need to do some shopping today before I meet with everyone this evening,” she explained.
Snape shifted his weight and pulled her closer, his eyes still shut. “Make sure you show me your supply list before you head to Diagon Alley. I likely have copies of the books you need. Sans my notes, of course.”
Hermione smiled and put down the parchment to cuddle against him. As she moved lower on the pillow he wrapped his arm around her back to pull her closer.
“Thank you. That would be a wonderful help,” she said.
He nodded. “And since it sounds like you’ll be leaving me for the day I’d like to steal a few minutes inside of you” he said with an edge of playful malice in his tone.
Hermione laughed she pushed him to lay back on the bed. His hands came to her hips as she climbed on top of him and she felt his strong erection pressing against her thigh.
“That can certainly be arranged. Especially since I regret to inform you that I don’t think I’ll be back tonight, either. I need to return to my flat and pack my trunk” she said.
Even though he expected as much, he groaned none the less. “Well you can always send me an owl and I’ll come help you, or you can come here after if you miss me. I’ll lower the wards to admit you.”
“You’re too good to me” she said with a playful smile as she leaned forward to kiss him passionately.

Hermione climbed the steps to The Leaky Cauldron and saw her friends sitting at a booth inside. Luna was the first to notice her and began wildly waving to Hermione as if she was trying to catch her attention in a crowd. As she approached, Hermione removed her bag from her shoulder and hung it on a peg before sliding into the booth beside Harry.
“I swear this day has been the most hectic...” Hermione began as she took a sip of the Butterbeer Harry slid in front of her.
“Not the typical amount of time you’re used to when preparing to go back to school, aye?” Ron clinked his glass against the bottom of hers as she took a sip. “Do you have everything you need?”
She placed her glass back down. “Yes, I think so. I have all of my books and new quills so that’s what matters most” she said.
“You were able to find a copy of The Second Wizarding War?” Luna asked serenely. “Flourish and Blotts has been out for weeks.”
Hermione blushed and took another sip of her Butterbeer. That title was one of many that Severus had given her that morning.
“Oh I happened to have bought it several weeks ago; right when it was released” Hermione lied.
Harry cut though the conversation. “Now that everyone is here, I feel like I have to be transparent with you. Earlier in the week Professor McGonagall asked me to join her for tea. We were chatting and she expressed how much she wished we’d all return for at least one more semester to help the school maintain its identity as it moves into the future. She went on and on about how things just wouldn’t be the same and that she felt the younger students needed us as role models. I couldn’t help but cave; she made such good points. So I hope you’re all excited to go back. If not, you have me to blame.”
Hermione gingerly touched Harry’s arm. “Oh Harry, no one blames you for anything. The more I’ve thought about it the more I agree that this will be good for the school,” she said reassuringly.
“And what about you and the Professor?” Luna’s etherial voice made it difficult to feel slighted by the question, but never the less Hermione felt her heartbeat quicken.
“There is nothing about me an Professor Snape” Hermione stated flatly.
“Yes but, the two of you are still spending time together, aren’t you?” Ron asked. “Even though he’s basically fine now?”
Hermione tried to keep her expression neural. “I’d hardly say he is ‘basically fine’ Ronald. The man nearly died. But that’s beside the point. I enjoy spending time with him and talking about books and potions and what have you.” She took another sip from her mug.
“I still don’t understand how you tolerate him. I get that he might not be the bad guy we all thought he was, but the man is still bloody terrifying” Neville said as he slid into the booth across from Hermione with another round of drinks.
“Isn’t it going to be weird being back in his class now?” Luna asked.
“I think classes are going to feel a bit odd for everyone,” Harry replied and Hermione flashed him a quick look of thanks for fielding the question.
“This is going to be odd for all of us; and for Ginny and the other true seventh year’s and probably all the students. Hogwarts needs to rebuild its confidence and regain its footing. I think we are a necessary attribute in making that happen” Harry continued.
“Here, here” Neville said while raising his glass in a toast. “To Hogwarts, and…to the future!”
