Severus was sitting at the breakfast table watching the three women sitting with him enjoying their meal. He was pretty worn out from his battle with the damn plant that he was currently considering on ripping up, he knew that the little red haired witch was just as tired as he was. When they were all looking in to their plates Severus took a moment to study the young Weasley woman, he never thought he’d see her as anything more than an annoying little girl that bothered him every time he went to Grimmauld Place for the Order of the Phoenix meetings or the little shit that attacked his Slytherin students when she thought no one was paying attention. He’d always known that she was intelligent but that was where his thoughts about her ended, well now…he was definitely going to be thinking about her curves that had felt so nice against him the other day, the smell of her hair which was like flowers in the middle of summer and her soft feminine sighs as she’d fallen asleep on top of him.

“So” He said, calling their attention to him “You’re all leaving today, hm?”

“Severus” Hermione spoke slowly “I was hoping that maybe you’d come with us…”

“No” He said, right away.

“Not for good” Luna added in “Just to see Draco…”

“I don’t want to go out in that fucked up world” Severus answered “Haven’t I paid my debt to that place?”

“It’s not for the world” Luna said “It’s for Draco”

“You love him” Hermione said softly from her spot across from him “You loved him once, what changed that?” His eyes focused on hers and then over to Ginny who was searching his face for some sort of sign that she needed.

“Do you not love him anymore?” Luna asked “Is that the problem?”

“I love him” Severus said quietly “But he doesn’t need me…”

“He has no one” Ginny said “No one…and I think you know how that feels…”

“I…” He started.

“You can always come back here” Ginny said “But you’ll just have somewhere to go when you’re lonely”

“Fine” Severus relented, giving the red head a dark look “I will make sure that you guys get back to the manor in one piece and I will say hello to Draco but that’s it!”

“Thank you” Hermione said with a smile at the girls knowing that it hadn’t taken too much to convince him because he secretly wanted to go see Draco.

Once breakfast was done everyone went off to get dressed or collect their things that they couldn’t leave behind. Ginny, who had been wearing a pair of pajamas that she borrowed from Hermione (who had borrowed from Snape), pulled on her jeans and shirt she reached for a necklace that her mother gave her and then pulled her hand away slightly looking at it for a moment. With a small smile she picked it up, looked towards the door and then tossed the necklace under the bed before she turned and walked out of the room. Hermione was waiting impatiently for the other three to join her, Ginny was the first to come down but Luna was immediately behind her and then Snape came down walking like a man heading for the gallows.

“Ginny” Hermione said, looking at her bare throat before Snape joined them “Where’s your necklace?”

“She wasn’t wearing one” Luna told Hermione “I thought it was strange to, but it had to be cleaned, right Gin?”

“Exactly” Ginny smiled “Let’s go”

Draco walked down the grand staircase. Looking around the house and at the few people that remained, which included George and Rita who were sitting on the couch talking quietly amongst each other. They looked all happy to be with one another and it made Draco want to be sick and it made him insanely jealous because he missed Hermione. He looked at the others that were still in the house and felt a new sense of excitement fill his entire being and he smirked at them all.

“Everyone” He said “We have nearly all the information that we need to get Height the Dementors Kiss” His smile was mirrored by the others and Harry and Ron looked ready to cheer with happiness that the Slytherin hadn’t lost his drive in their case “I have sent some…friends out to some of the people that we’ve found on the receipts to get them to admit to buying half-breed children and for their trouble we are offering them partial immunity”

“Partial?” Ron asked “What does that mean?”

“If they testify to the Minister, the Wizengamont and the entire wizarding world about what they’ve done and what Height has done” Draco explained “And we interview the children they bought, we’ll make the decision on how much time they have to do and/or if they get the kiss as well”

“You think anyone’s going to do that?” Pansy asked, she looked skeptical but hopeful.

“Well, the other option” Draco announced with a smile that could freeze fire “Is that we turn their names over to the Aurors that are working with us” He gave a pointed look to Harry, knowing that his team would work with him no matter what “They round them up and they get no chance to save themselves”

“That…” Ron said, looking from one face to another “Is bloody brilliant, Malfoy”

“It’s very Slytherin” Parvati pointed out “And I like it”

“It does sound like a rather brilliant plan” Said a familiar voice from behind them, Draco turned and sighed when he saw Hermione standing there with her arms crossed over her chest “And I like it as well”

“Hermione?” He looked at her, his silver-colored eyes looked her over as he cataloged any damages that may have been on her body at one point that would explain why she chose to stay away so long “You’re looking…well”

“I’m feeling well” She answered “I’ve finally gotten something for the morning sickness” She gave him a weak smile “So you know…no more puking or feeling like death”

“That’s good” He said, they looked at one another for a few moments before he shook his head and walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, he felt better when she relaxed in to his hold “I missed you so much”

“I missed you too” She told him “I just needed a little time, but I’ve had enough now” She pulled back and looked around the room “Now, it’s time to finish this shit once and for all because I’m pregnant and I want to get married and start my family without the threat of that piece of shit, Height looming over us”

“You’re pregnant?” Ron repeated with a surprised look on his face “But I thought…”

“You thought wrong” Hermione snarled, before she softened her expression and offered a small if not triumphant smile at the red haired man “The Healers all told us that I was fine and suggested that you get checked out…I suggest the same unless you don’t really want children”

“Maybe you were taking a potion to keep from getting pregnant with me!” Ron hissed at her angrily, the red color of his embarrassment was almost bright enough to light the entire room they were sitting in “I don’t think you ever wanted children with me!”

“I did” Hermione said “At first, but then the longer it was taking us to get pregnant the more of an asshole you became and suddenly I found myself hating the idea of bringing a child in to this world with you”

“Oh, but you’re alright with bringing a child in the world with Malfoy?!” He looked outraged “The spoiled little prick that made your life while at Hogwarts a nightmare…or did you forget that when he became your ‘keeper’?” Hermione lowered her gaze to the ground and tried not to take his words too seriously considering that he always got like this when he was hurt but it still burned through her like acid.

“She is not a ‘kept’ woman” Luna snapped, giving Ron an uncharacteristically harsh glare as she walked in to the room from the hallway “Hermione was a woman down on her luck and running out of funds because her asshole husband painted her a barren prude” Hermione gave her a small smile of thanks “She took an opportunity to get herself out of the gutter where that piece of shit husband discarded her and finally she met a man who was as far from that husband as one could find and now she’s happy and moving on with her life…I suggest you do the same, Ronald because this whole ‘woe is me’ shit your always pulling is getting old fast”

“That’s not…” Ron tried, he was honestly shocked that Luna friggin’ Lovegood was speaking so harshly to him.

“True?” She finished for him “Yes, it is. Your sister is sick of your shit, she managed to get out from under her mothers thumb and is moving on, Harry is sick of always having to make excuses for your behavior and he too just wants to move on with his life but its hard because he wants you in it…you’re an adult and its time you started acting like it”

“I still think you were taking a potion” Ron shot back at Hermione, trying to ignore the truth in Luna’s words. He’d known for a while that Harry was pulling away from him, canceling plans and making excuses but he’d always convinced himself that it was just his imagination and that he wasn’t really that bad a person.

“Maybe” Draco said, putting his arm around Hermione protectively “Your sperm just wasn’t strong enough…maybe it took a real man to do the job” Hermione turned her face towards Draco’s shoulder, not in anger but because she was smiling and didn’t want Ronald to see it.

“I’m surprised that you can procreate at all” Ronald said, Hermione was secretly surprised he knew such a big word like ‘procreate’ and it made her want to laugh again “Considering your DNA’s been so polluted with so much of the inbreeding that’s gone on in your family”

“And I’m surprised that you know such big words” Draco said with a smirk “I counted at least three in there” He shrugged a little “But your making it sound like the Malfoy’s are the last pureblooded family in existence now and that’s not true…is it, Weasley?”

“I don’t know what you mean” Ron sniffed, though he knew exactly what he was saying and he’d been hopeful that such a witty remark coming from him would have moved the obvious from being right in front of his nose, no such luck ever seemed to follow him though.

“Just as much a dunderhead as I remembered” Said a dark voice from the hallway that was followed by the dark presence of Severus Snape “He means, Weasley, that your family is every bit as pureblooded as his own and that likely means that there is inbreeding in your family too…even a primary school witch or wizard could have figured that out” He gave his ever chilling smirk at the shocked redhead “But then again I guess I understand that it would of course be out of your range of thought considering that intellect would be far too intelligent for you”

His words were met with a chuckle from the three witches that had had time to absorb the information that he was still alive. But the others stood there looking at him, the shock was evident and there was some fear written in the expressions that she could see. There had been no body found when Snape had died, just loads of broken potions phials some with potions spilled on the ground, some that were empty and of course his frock coat that Draco had taken with him after the he and his family were initially talked to by the Aurors. It wasn’t that odd and no one thought that he’d just up and made a run for it because there were loads of death eaters that had simply vanished when Voldemort had been killed. There were witnesses of their bodies turning to smoke and disappearing from sight when his did, they figured it was all his inner circle since Bellatrix was one of the first death eaters to vanish. Everyone had been so sure that that was what had happened to Snape’s body but now everyone was learning the truth, that he’d simply took off and didn’t care. Harry’s face was simply shocked, Ron’s was angry and horrified but Draco’s expression broke her heart and made her wonder if this had been a good idea after all. She’d been so sure that her fiancée would be so happy to see him and to finally have a father figure, his god-father, his mentor and his friend back in his life but his look went quickly from shock to surprise then sadness and settled on anger. The type of anger that made the hair on the back of her neck stick up, her stomach clench and her palms sweat as she looked at him.

“Draco” She said softly “Are you okay?”

“What are you doing here?” Draco asked, not talking to Hermione but to Snape “I thought that you were dead”

“I’m not” He answered uselessly, it was the first time that anyone had ever seen Snape look nervous and it was unnerving to most “I just…”

“You just took off” Draco finished for him “You just didn’t care”

“I cared” Severus breathed “That’s why I left”

“Such bullshit” Draco laughed, it wasn’t a happy sound but one of hurt and sadness and it made Hermione take one of his hands in to two of hers and she rubbed her thumb over his knuckles “If you cared you would have come back”

“I think everyone should leave” Luna said quietly as she soundlessly led everyone from the room, leaving only Hermione, Draco and Severus standing in there looking at one another. Hermione wished that she could leave too but she was worried that there would be a fight if she wasn’t there to soothe things over.

“I did what I thought was best” Severus said to him harshly “I did…”

“What was easiest” Draco finished “For you” He shook his head “You thought about you and only you!”

“You little shit!” Snape snarled at him, taking a few threatening steps towards him “Do you have any fucking clue what I did in the war, what I did in the first war, what I lost of what I never got to experience because of what Dumbledore and Voldemort insisted that I do…I never had a normal life, I wasn’t allowed one instead I got put in to a proverbial closet until I was needed again so yes!” He snapped at the younger man “I did choose to be selfish and maybe I should have only chosen to be slightly selfish but I got drunk on the feeling of what it was like to be able to think for myself for once!”

“But…” Draco started.

“I know that what happened between the end of the war and now has been hard on both of you” Hermione said “On all of us, but Draco you have me now and we’re going to have a baby and now we know that Severus is alive and if it weren’t for him I’d be dead” Draco looked at her “He saved me when I was running in the woods, away from Height, he could have ignored what it was that he saw or heard when I was running around the woods but he didn’t, I believe that he still cares about you and all of us that he saved in the war I think he just needed some time away”

“But I needed you” Draco said, tears filling his eyes that he angrily wiped at as he turned his face away from both Severus and Hermione “I was alone and I had no one there for me for so long and you didn’t even care enough to look in on me” He shook his head “Why did you even come back?”

“Because weather you believe it or not, Draco” Severus answered, his voice soft and broken “I’ve been alone all this time too and what makes it hurt even more is that I did it to myself. I knew that you were out there, I knew that Potter would save you from Azkaban, I figured that your mother would still be here, I assumed that your father would be in prison…I never thought you’d be here alone” His eyes were begging the blonde man before him to believe him “I made myself believe that I couldn’t come back to this world, that you’d be happier without me around. I apologize for not being here after your parents death but I’m here now, Hermione knows how to find me and I’ll answer any messages sent to me”

“Right” Draco said, he sniffed quickly and looked around the room as if searching for something “So, are you going to leave now?”

A/N: I’m sorry these are taking so long, I’m attempting to make enough money to go on vacation so I’ve been working a shit ton of hours lately so please don’t hate me. Tell me what you think about this, I am currently writing a few chapters for the sequel to Lost Girl and the Heathen and I’m hoping once I have a few chapters I can post it that way I can take a few days before starting to write a few more chapters.
