Chapter 20. Time turner
They were lying in a tender embrace when Severus spoke:
�We must find time to work on your Lendoren magic, Hermione.�
�Of course you�d say that,� Hermione burst out laughing, �but wasn�t it you who told me you wanted to do more interesting things?�
�You�ll drop one or even two classes to make up time and��
�That�s out of question, you know!� Hermione replied. She was furious. �And I give you a �T� for the homework I gave you this morning. You didn�t understand my meaning.�
Hermione freed herself from his arms and turned her back on him. Silent tears were flowing on her cheeks. How could she be in love, for she had to admit she was in love, with someone so�arrogant? Authoritarian?
Severus sighed deeply, he caught every single of Hermione�s thoughts, which he heard very clearly through their link after their lovemaking. He felt even worse when he realised she was silently crying. He saw her grow up, he knew she wasn�t a snivelling person. In short, he had deeply hurt her because he didn�t really take seriously what she had asked of him this morning. Strangely, it was the first in a long time he felt bad for having hurt someone else.
�Dry your tears, my dear. We�ll think together about it and find a solution.�
He took her in his arms while talking to her. Hermione didn�t answer but he felt her relief at his words. It took them a long time to fall asleep, they were each lost in their own thoughts, thoughts that they carefully put out of reach of the other.
Severus woke up very early and at once myriads of question assaulted him. Well, they could be summarized by: how to find time in the day to work about Hermione�s Lendoren magic without modifying too much her habits? He didn�t have an answer.
When Hermione woke up, she saw him scowling, brooding over their problem. She realised with surprise she heard what he was thinking.
�And as you can see, my dear, I don�t have a solution,� he grumbled. He then gave her a tender morning kiss.
Hermione confortably settled in his arms before she thought about it too. She turned it over and over again in her head, but the conclusion was always that she lacked time. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
�The Time Turner,� she cried. �That�s what we need!�
� What do you know about Time Turners?� Severus was surprised.
�I had one in my third year so that I was able to chose every option available. Didn�t you know?�
� No,� he admitted. �Are you telling me you chose so many options that Minerva couldn�t concoct a normal schedule for you?�
�Acutally, I chosed everything��
�How that, everything?�
�Every option, I chose every option��
Severus was gobsmacked; she managed to learn every available option in her third year? With the good results he remembered?
�So,� Hermione resumed, �Professor McGonagall got the Ministry to lend me a Time Turner so that I was able to attend all my lessons. It was lucky we had it then because thanks to it, Harry and I could��
She stopped herself brutally. They have saved Harry�s godfather, Sirius Black, who was accused of the murder of Harry�s parents, and Buckbeak the hippogriff, by using the Time Turner, thanks to a tip from Professor Dumbledore. But she perfectly remembered the way the man she was holding in her arms reacted at the time.
Severus immediately felt there was something going on. She had done something with Harry that as a Professor he wasn�t supposed to hear of. But he wanted to know. It was part of the mutual trust that they were supposed to share everything.
�You told either too much or too little, my dear,�he said softly.
�I only tell you if you promise not to get angry,� Hermione answered firmly.
Severus took his time before he answered and strengthened his shield for he didn�t want Hermione to hear him thinking. He perfectly knew he�d probably explode when he would know what he was already calling �a stupid thing she had done�. Merlin, but how many stupid things had she done in the past? And which years?
�I probably won�t smile when I find out what kind of mischief you�ve been up to, Hermione, but I can promise you not to use that knowledge against Potter or Weasley. Even though I�m sure the temptation will be there�See that Polyjuice for instance! This will be brought up for discussion soon for you didn�t tell me everything about it, especially what for you used it and who were your victims. Well, one thing at a time. Let�s go back to the Time Turner: what did you and Harry do with it?�
Hermione looked at him straight into the eyes. His face remained stonily indifferent but she also knew a promise was a sacred thing to him. She settled into his arms, laced her fingers with his and spoke:
�We saved Buckbeak and Sirius that night. You must remembered Dumbledore locked us in the Hospital Wing?�
Severus grunted. He didn�t have the strength to say more. Didn�t they know that Sirius was Harry�s parents� murderer? He was sure he�d seen him at Godric�s Hollow, a few minutes before Voldemort�s arrival!
�We used the Time Turner to come back three hours earlier. We first saved Buckbeak, then when Sirius was locked in the tower, we flied on his back to get Sirius. Sirius left then with Buckbeak and they went into hiding.�
It was a brief summary of those three hours, she didn�t want to burden Erwin � she couldn�t bring herself to call him Severus � with useless details.
�My dear, just use the first name you prefer. I even have to admit I�d rather you call me Erwin, Severus reminds me of�darker days.�
�We should celebrate,� Hermione said, amused. �We agree on something.�
� There�s something I can�t wrap my mind around, Hermione, why did you save Harry�s parents� murderer? I know he told you a pretty story featuring Pettigrew as an animagus and Secret Keeper for the Potters instead of Black, but I thought you weren�t that na�ve!�
�Erwin, I swear we saw him in the Srieking Shack that night�hem�after we had knocked you out. Professor Lupin can confirm it.�
�I�m sorry but the word of a Maraudeur never inspired me with trust, and had always drove me into troubles!�he answered her bitterly. �The proof is there were two Maraudeurs in the shack that night and I managed to get knocked out by third years students!�
He didn�t know if Potter had told them about the secret that he had found out in the pensieve two years ago, but that didn�t change what he had to endure during his schooling at Hogwarts. That had pushed him somehow towards Voldemort, before he became a Lendoren on his seventeenth birthday.
� You have to believe me, Erwin, when I tell you Peter Pettigrew was indeed an animagus. He admitted to be the Potters� Secret Keeper, he gave them to Voldemort, he helped him with the potion which restored him in a human body by giving his right hand at the time of the Triwizard Tournament.�
�I know about the Tournament, Hermione, Pettigrew still brags about it two years later when Voldemort isn�t around,� he grunted. �But for the rest, I�m not convinced at all.�
�Find a pensieve and I�ll show you, Erwin,� Hermione begged him. �But in the meanwhile, you must believe me. Is that why you were so disagreeable with Sirius at Grimmauld Square?�
�That,� he slowly said, �and�also the past, my dear. But I fear we don�t have time to talk about the past anymore,� he added, looking at the clock. �However, I find your idea with the Time Turner interesting, I�ll speak about it to Minerva.�
Hermione shot him a very dark look, so he added, but not without a grimace:
�Do you agree, my dear?�
Hermione smiled and nodded. Maybe he was beginning to understand?
&&&&&
Hermione somewhat feared her first Potions class since Erwin became her lover. While she was heading towards the dungeons, she wondered if she would be able to remain silent if he was unfair with another student, a habit he didn�t completely lose.
�You�d better shut up, my dear,� Erwin told her quietly. �May I remind you that never was a student been seen to have the last word in my classroom. And I wouldn�t appreciate having to put you in detention. So you grit your teeth and you don�t say anything, understood?�
Harry and Ron felt uneasy. They were fearing Snape�s wrath now that he knew for the Polyjuice. Hermione hadn�t dare tell them that Erwin and her had taken their relationship one step further. She only told them they were speaking with each other more easily. As for Severus, he heartily wished that neither Hermione, nor Potter, nor Weasley would oblige him to punish them. Hermione was his companion after all, and he couldn�t picture himself putting her in detention with Filch like he did with the other girls who tried to get detention with him in the hope of seducing him. He�d better Hermione never heard of that�he didn�t even think of it!
He wouldn�t mind that much to give detention to Potter and Weasley, after all they owned him for that Polyjuice and five years were nothing in Severus� opinion, but he feared Hermione�s reaction if that was to happen. That thought made him grimace: since when did he fear a woman�s reaction? Simple: since that slip of a girl became his companion in every meaning of the word. It�s only been two days but he already knew he wouldn�t sleep alone in his bed anymore. Besides, Hermione�s rooms were more comfortable�
He shot them a dark look when they arrived in his class as a reminder of who was the boss in there. If Harry ducked his head to avoid the storm, Hermione looked back at him, her eyes never leaving his while she took her seat in silence and prepared her things. The lesson was uneventful, Severus was as acerbic as ever, but then he wasn�t going to change all of a sudden. He wasn�t worse than usual in fact, so Hermione told nothing, even though she showed her opinion by sending some drafts by him. Of course Severus retaliated with a hard glare, but he couldn�t do more, her potion was perfect�
Thanks to each of you, dear readers.

Answer to reviews:

Bella Snape: thanks for your review. The translation is going on.

sheedy sheedy: Thank you for letting me know your appreciation. I plan to update at least once a week.

lisa wyle_one_6@yahoo.com: I'm glad you liked it. And don't we love it when Severus loses control a bit?

firewall: Hermione is in charge in this relationship, though she's still very young, but that's the way Lendoren are. And yes, the original author knows about the translation, and reads your comments attentively.

kylie: thank you, I do my best to satisfy you.

Citten: you already have asked the question, but I'll answer again anyway. Severus feels important that they climax together because it strenghtens their love, because he loves her, but it isn't important outside of their couple. Thank you for commenting.
