"Speaking"
Thinking
Chapter Twenty Seven: Catching Up
Severin bounced Sadie up and down, and smiled at her happily. He stood and walked to the door that opened into the hall. As he approached it, the loud thuds echoed into the room. He pushed the door open, and smiled.
"Took you longer than I thought for you to get here. Did Weasley slow you down?" Severin grinned at Harry.
"Nah, Ginny did. She said that we should wait until Hermione had settled in first." Harry said smiling at his girlfriend.
"Where's Hermione! Why'd she kiss your git of a father?" Ron bellowed angrily.
"Well, because they're married of course." Severin said as if he'd know all his life.
"That's impossible! You don't even know who your Mum is! How can you say it's Hermione?" Ron asked in a cocky tone.
"Wait…Hermione is your Mum?" Harry asked, while Ginny smiled knowingly.
"Yeah. You knew she was in the past right? She met my dad there, and they fell in love, got married, and had me and Sadie." Severin explained. "In any case, don't badger her too much about the details. I'm in the dark and I'd like it to stay that way."
"How could she fall for that greasy git!" Ron griped.
"That's my father you're talking about." Severin said coldly.
"He favors the bloody Slytherins! He doesn't even give you special treatment, and you're his kid!" Ron declared.
""He does that for a reason, of which you know perfectly well. Even if that weren't the case, he's not the type for favoritism. For the last time. He. Is. Acting." Severin said angrily.
"I don't care! He's still a git! And Ginny why are you smiling like that?" Ron said, snapping at his sister.
"I knew something before you did!" She chanted happily. "I saw the marriage certificate when I was doing detention, when I found that photo. I left it as it was, but it was there." Ginny smiled a great grin.
"So that means that my best friend…" Harry began.
"Is your godmother. Yes." Severin grinned at his friend.
"Wow." Was all Harry could say.
"That's messed up Harry, you know that?" Ron said, while Ginny nodded her head.
"I always wondered why I had a godfather but not a godmother…I guess…now I know." Harry said with a shrug.
"You're oddly accepting of this…" Ron said stiffly.
"Eh. It's happened. Can't change it now." Harry said not caring much anymore. His attention had refocused on the baby his friend was holding. "That's Sadie?"
"Yeah." Severin said, holding her out to him. "Wanna hold her?" he offered.
"Sure." Ginny said shouldering Harry out of the way.
"Hey! I was gonna…" Harry started.
"Mate…leave it. She loves babies, just let her hold her first so she can get over the excitement." Ron told him in a whisper.
Harry sighed. "Fine."
"So…where are they anyway?" Harry questioned. "I would have thought that Hermione would be glad to see us after so long."
"They went to the house. Some alone time, you know. It's been seventeen years since Dad got to see her." Severin said. "Auntie will be thrilled."
Harry grinned.
Hermione stumbled out of the fireplace, and into her husbands arms. She let him pull her close, and kiss her.
"Hermione." He whispered against her lips. "I've missed you…"
"Oh Severus!" Hermione gasped. "I love you!"
He scooped her into his arms, and strode toward the door that led to the bedroom. He kicked open the door, and hurried to the bed. He made to lay her down, but Hermione stopped him.
"Sit down Severus." she told him. "Let me show you how I love you."
Severus smirked at the implication, and sat as he'd been told. He watched as his wife busied herself with the buttons of his teaching robe. He chuckled to himself. He'd purposely told the tailor to add hundreds of buttons. When Hermione had disappeared, other witches had taken that as a sign of him being single. He'd added the buttons to dissuade them.
Hermione finally finished with the buttons. She pushed his outer robe off, and sat back in awe. "How do you get dressed in the morning with so many damned buttons Severus?" she asked, astounded.
"I'm a wizard, Hermione…" Severus laughed at her expression.
"Oh…well…right." Hermione blushed.
Hermione whipped out her wand, and muttered an incantation. His clothing vanished, and reappeared, folded, on the dresser.
Severus watched as his wife gave him a sultry look, and gently brushed her hand against him. He tensed as the light pressure gave him goose bumps. She stroked harder. This time causing him to inhale sharply, as she grasped him.
"Hermione…" he moaned as she pressed a kiss to the tip of his hardening cock. All thought blew from his mind, as her mouth wrapped around him, and she began to apply suction.
Hermione was pleased, as she heard her husbands throaty moans and gasps. She pulled back, and used her tongue to lick from the base of his cock to the tip, swirling her tongue around the head, before bobbing back down again. She used her fist to pump him as she sucked, slightly twisting her hand and her head as she did so.
This action caused Severus to buck his hips wildly, and lean back on his arms. Hermione pulled away, and divested her clothing, and climbed on to the bed, straddling him. She positioned him at her entrance, and slowly lowered her body.
"Hermione!" Severus called wildly.
"Mmm." Hermione moaned as she reached the base. "Severus…"
Severus reached up and pulled Hermione to fall against him. He hugged her tightly, and kissed her. His tongue swirled against hers as he thrust his hips up into her as hard as he could. He could feel himself hitting her womb, and he moaned at the feeling.
Hermione shook with pleasure as he struck her womb, sending little shocks of pain and pleasure through her body, sending tingles to dance in her toes. Soon she was screaming in pleasure as he flipped them, rolling so he was atop of her. Throwing her legs over his shoulders he thrust into her as fast as he could.
"Oh god…Ah! Severus! Severus I'm… Ah!" Hermione screamed as she came, her muscles clenching around him, sending him over the edge as well.
"Hermione!" Severus grunted as his body trembled against her. When he rolled off of her, he muttered a contraceptive charm, and her stomach glowed a pale yellow before fading away.
Severus pulled her against him, and kissed her forehead. They rested in each others arms for a while before he spoke.
"Hermione…I haven't…" He began.
"I know." Hermione said. "I would have felt if you had."
She was referring of course, to the bond a witch and wizard received when they were married. In the case of infidelity, the witch or wizard would feel a draw of power from their body. It was a very painful process.
Severus relaxed before he said, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Hermione asked, curious.
"For calling you a know-it-all…"
Hermione laughed. "Severus…ha ha…you can't be…Aha ha…serious!"
Severus scowled. "I assure you that I am." he said.
"I told you before, it doesn't matter." Hermione said.
"But even after you told me back then, I still called you that." Severus said sadly. "I…"
"You were doing what had to be done to separate your feeling of love for me, from a student that had absolutely no idea what she should feel for a handsome teacher." Hermione told her husband. "It's in the past, and I understand why you did what you did."
Severus looked relieved. "I didn't know if you'd hold a grudge…"
"Against the man I love? No." Hermione told him sweetly.
Severus smiled before it faded somewhat. "Hermione…I should tell you…I'm not the same man you married…"
"I know." Hermione said. "I can't expect you would be. Not after years of death eater meetings with Voldemort, and having to raise a child by yourself, no one would be quite the same."
"Hermione…I've seen things you couldn't possibly imagine…" Severus said.
"I can imagine it." Hermione said with distaste. "After the ministry fiasco, I can definitely imagine it."
"And I didn't raise Severin alone." Severus told her.
"Say what now?" Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow. "Who helped you? I'm guessing not Sirius? Maybe… Remus? You two got along pretty well."
"Hermione…surely you know who would help me…?" Severus asked her.
"No…who?" Hermione asked.
"Lily." Severus stated flatly. "Our children's Godmother?"
"LILY!" Hermione yelled in shock.
That's impossible! What happened? How did I change the past? I wasn't supposed to change any…wait…I was. Hermione thought quickly. 'From present time…so shall I travel to the past…lest tragedy strikes us all'… that must have been what I was supposed to change. That's right! When Lily agreed to be the twin's godmother…I disappeared! It all makes sense now!
"Hermione?" Severus asked her. "Why are you so surprised?"
"Ah! Um…I don't know…I'm confused…probably from all the excitement." Hermione said.
Severus looked at her, worried. "Yeah…it must be that."
"So she and James helped you raise Severin?" Hermione asked, hoping that her excursion into the past helped her best friend get his parents back.
"No. Just Lily. James…died. Harry was left with a scar on his forehead." Severus told Hermione. "After it happened…Voldemort was somehow defeated. He's back though."
"Oh no!" Hermione gasped.
"I took Lily and Harry in, they live here with Severin and I. Lily wants to get her own flat, but I told her that since Voldemort was back that she wasn't safe." Severus told her.
"What about when he'd disappeared?" Hermione asked.
"His supporters were everywhere. Before he left to go to their house, he told us that all three would die. Since only James did, everyone was on the lookout for Lily and Harry." Severus explained. "I'm sorry Hermione. I know that James was your friend."
Severus had mistook Hermione's expression of confusion for one of sadness. That's not to say that she wasn't sad, of course she was. James had been her friend. However, her confusion was caused by the altered timeline.
Hermione furrowed her brow in thought. When I changed the future, it must have altered everyone's memories…Harry will never know he'd had no parents, because I'd made it so he had his Mum. I never mentioned to Severus, Harry's last name…so he couldn't know of the scar from beforehand, else he wouldn't have mentioned it…
I also never mentioned that Harry was an orphan, so of course my little outburst confused him. I wonder what else I've changed… Hermione thought to herself.
After a few more minutes of talking they took a quick shower, shared to preserve water, then Severus left Hermione to get dressed as she preferred not to use magic for simple tasks, and headed for the kitchen to make them something to eat.
Hermione had just buttoned her shirt, when she heard the sound of apparition.
"Severus?" A woman's voice asked. "What are you doing home? Don't you have classes right now?"
Severus turned, "No. I've taken the week off."
"You? Take the week off? Ha!" The woman said, flipping her long red hair over her shoulder. "You don't even take off when you've just gotten back from a meeting, why would you take it off now?"
"Hermione's back." He told her with a smirk.
"Severus…don't tease me like that. I miss Hermione so much, she was my best friend, and you know it's mean to get my hopes up like that." She said sadly.
"But I am back." Hermione said, stepping out of the bedroom.
Lily turned and her green eyes widened in shock.
"Hi Lily." Hermione said feebly.
"HERMIONE!" Lily cried, launching herself at her friend.
Hermione felt the wind get knocked out of her, and she struggled to breath through Lily's death grip. When she could finally breath again, Lily let go.
"Oh my gosh! How is it that you look exactly the same, while I look like an old maid?" Lily asked Hermione with a grin.
"Wonders of instant time travel." Hermione grinned back. "And I wouldn't exactly call you old."
"Hermione! I'm about as old as your mum!" Lily said teasingly.
"No. My mum was thirty when she had me. She's still older." Hermione laughed.
Lily laughed with her for a minute before hugging her again. "I've missed you." Lily confessed. "I mean, I saw you when we picked up Harry and Severin from kings cross last year, and when we dropped them off…but it isn't the same. You didn't know me."
"I'd say the same, but it's just been a few hours since I last saw you." Hermione admitted. I don't remember seeing Lily at kings cross…my memories haven't merged with the timeline yet…that is…if they ever will. I might be stuck remembering a different past than everyone else…
"Well…" Lily said, a smile on her face. "Have you saw Harry yet?"
Hermione thought about it, and she too found it funny. "No. Not yet. I've seen Severin though."
"He's grown up to be a very nice young man." Lily said with a smile.
"I saw that." Hermione said. "He is a sweet boy. Thank you for everything Lily."
"Of course. What are godmothers for?" She laughed.
Hermione smiled. "I feel kind of bad now. I've been through a lot with Harry and Ron…and I rushed off before they even got to see if I was really okay."
"I'm sure they understand." Lily said consolingly. "You'd just been reunited with your husband after seventeen years. They had to expect that you'd want to spend time with him."
"I hope so." Hermione worried. "Severus?"
"Yes?" He answered, having been listening to the women who were still sitting in the middle of the floor.
"Do you think we can return to the castle now?" She asked. "I feel guilty for running off like that. We've been here for hours. Sadie must need feeding."
At the mention of his daughter's name he smiled. "Yes. Let's go."
"I'm coming too." Lily told them. "I'm not letting Hermione out of my sight! I'll get to see Harry too." she added as an afterthought.
Severus went through the floo first, since Lily had Hermione's arm in a death grip.
Harry jumped as the fire turned green. He watched as Severus stepped out. "Your dad is back." He told Severin.
The fire glowed green once more, and two figures stumbled into the room. They straightened, and Hermione found herself on the ground again, by another fiery redhead.
"Hermione!" Ginny cried. "We missed you!"
"Hey Ginny!" Hermione said as she hugged her friend.
"Hermione!" Ron asked in shock. "You look older." He stated.
"Hello to you too Ronald." Hermione snarked back. "Nice to see you haven't changed."
" 'Mione!"
"Hi Harry." Hermione grinned. "The last time I saw you, you were in your mum's belly."
"Very funny." Harry said with a blush.
"I thought so." Ginny grinned at his embarrassment.
They heard chuckling and Ron cried out in surprise. "Snape's laughing!"
"He is capable of laughter, Ronald." Hermione told him crossly.
"I've never seen him laugh." Ron said haughtily.
"I have." Harry said.
"He doesn't do it much, but he does." Severin said.
Hermione was pleased that they would stick up for him. She leaned over and kissed both Harry and Severin on the cheeks. "Good boys." She said with a smile. She held out her arms for her daughter. "May I see Sadie please?"
"Sure mum." Severin said.
"I'm going to have to get used to that." Ginny said with a laugh. "Hermione is a mum, to someone two years younger than her."
"I'm sorry to cut this meeting short," Severus said, "But Hermione needs her rest, seeing as she and our daughter just traveled through time, so if you please, Harry, Weasleys. You will see Hermione tomorrow morning at the feast. Now off to bed before I take points off for being out after curfew."
Harry, Ron and Ginny stood to leave the room. When they were almost at the door, Ron turned and said, "Well?"
"Well what?" Hermione asked.
"Aren't you coming?" Ron asked her, confused.
"…Ron…I sleep here." Hermione pointed out. "With my husband and my children…"
Ron's face turned red, "Right." he finally got out. "See you tomorrow in class."
"I'm not going to class…" Hermione was beginning to worry for her friends mental health. Surely he understood. "I graduated in the past…I was there for almost three years…"
"Right…" Ron said again as he turned. "Night then."
The door shut behind him.
Hermione looked at her husband. "He's never going to change is he?"
"Probably not." Severus said with a smirk.
"After all," Her son spoke. "Once a Dunderhead, always a Dunderhead."
Hermione looked at Severin, and began to laugh.
