Hermione woke up being unusually well rested.She had downed a bottle of dreamless sleep potion before bed and it made her sleep like a baby. She stretched out lazily under the covers, fully enjoying the peace and quiet of having her own room. She could take as long as she wanted, and there was no queue to the shower either. She thought she might be in heaven. If not for a stupid marriage law that was fucking up her life.
The spell of having her own room was broken, and she slowly got herself out of bed. The room was small, but fitted her perfectly. In the middle of the room was a four poster bed, with a spring green bedspread. Around the circle shaped room where floor to ceiling bookcases that she fully intended on filling when she had an opportunity. There was also a desk, and armchair and a wardrobe. She already loved it. Too bad she probably would have to move soon, to move in with her as of yet unknown husband to be.
She decided to take a warm shower to loosen up a little. She had a long day ahead of her before her meeting with McGonagall, and she wanted to be somewhat alert for her first day of classes. Fully enjoying her freedom, she peeled of her tank top and shorts on her way to the bathroom, and finally her panties, discarding the clothes on the floor. She put up her short, messy hair in a messy bun before stepping into the shower. She didn’t quite have time to wash her hair, but she planned on doing that tonight. She was sure she would need a relaxing shower after tonights meeting anyway.
After the shower she found some fresh towels in the cabinet and quickly dried herself, then rolled it securely around her body, more for warmth than anything else. She could just as easily have walked out stark naked, but in the end she was glad she hadn’t.
Standing in the middle of her room when she came out, was none other than professor Snape. Hermione jumped and screamed, while trying to protect her modesty by wrapping her arms around herself. It all resulting in her almost falling over, but at the last second she managed to catch her balance and stay standing.
“What the hell are you doing in my bedroom? This is completely unacceptable. If you think for even one second that …”
Snape interrupted what was going to be a long tirade by holding up his hand, effectively silencing her. She mentally slapped herself for being such a pushover. She was furious, but spending most of her life being terrified of the man in front of her made her keep her mouth shut.
“Please, miss Granger, I’ll stop you right there. I do apologize for storming into your bedroom uninvited, but this really cannot wait.”
“Really? It can’t wait two minutes so I can put some clothes on?”
“Fine.”
“You can wait out in the common room.”
“No I will not. Do you think it is wise to risk the chance of running into Potter?”
“I happen to know for a fact that Harry never goes up earlier than ten minutes before he needs to go to breakfast, which means that we have twenty minutes, and like I said, I only need two to change. So go out and wait in the common room.”
“I am still your professor, and you will address me accordingly, miss Granger.”
“You came and invaded my personal space, sir. Common room, now.” She pointed with her whole arm at the door.
Hermione could tell that Snape was fuming, and she couldn’t help but shake where she stood in just her towel that barely reached down mid thigh. She couldn’t believe that she had just screamed at Snape. She hadn’t done that since …
To her great surprise Snape turned and walked out of the door, closing it behind him. She ran to her luggage by the bed that she hadn’t had time to unpack yet and threw on the first pair of underwear she could find, and the brah discarded on the floor from the day before. Then she put on her school robes in record speed, using her wand for all the buttons. She knew that Snape probably would barge in when exactly two minutes had passed, and she did not plan on standing half dressed when he came in. She had some dignity.
When the door opened she was calmly fixing her tie as if she had all the time in the world. Snape walked in, closed the door behind him and stood in the exact same place as before. She fixed up her tie, then turned to face him. She hoped he couldn’t notice that her hand was shaking a little.
“What was it that was so urgent, sir? Would you like to sit down?”
“No, thank you, miss Granger. I would like to get over this as fast as possible so we do not meet Potter in the door.”
“Then, with all due respect, professor, get to the point.”
He stepped closer to her, penetrating her with his cold, black eyes. She had to focus hard not to cower under his gaze. She also had to admit that this powerplay was turning her on a little bit.
“Have you told anyone about our little tumble before summer?”
She could not have been more surprised. Him bringing that up had never even crossed her mind. She was under the impression that the entire incident was to be ignored and preferably forgotten about completely.
“No, sir, of course not.”
“Not even Potter and Weasley?”
“No, and why would I tell Ron about what happened? I have barely spoken to him since that night, other than to scream at him and throwing hexes.”
Did she imagine his mouth twitching?
“I was actually referring to Ginerva Weasley. You seem like you are grown together, these days.”
“Well, yes we have become quite close, but no, I did not tell her either. Trust me, you would know if I told them.”
He nodded silently, and Hermione just got a tiny little sniff of his smell and was reminded of the last time they had been standing this close, and how his arms had felt around her ....
“Was that all, sir?”
“Actually no. This is about the predicament that you told us about yesterday. Minerva has the solution.”
She immediately perked up, allowing herself to feel a little hopeful.
“Really? What is it?”
“You marry me”, he stated simply, and Hermione’s heart dropped again. Marry Snape?
She was quiet for a few minutes, going it over in her head. Snape stood there, quietly, waiting for her to respond. Finally it clicked.
“You want me to marry someone from the Order for my protection, and you’re ideal, because then I could still stay in school, finishing my studies.”
“Miss-know-it-all-Granger strikes again”, Snape sneered, and Hermione gave him a look she would never have dared to give him just a year earlier. “Unfortunately it is the best solution we have. And we don’t have much time. Do you accept?”
“Wow, professor, I didn’t know you were such a smooth talker”, she muttered, only too late realizing that she was directly referencing to That night. She immediately turned red. Snape pierced her with a look that told her that he did not miss the innuendo, however accidental it might have been.
“You know just how smooth I can be, miss Granger, so I urge you not to tease me. Do. You. Accept?”
She rolled her eyes to hide the fact that all the innuendos were making her extremely aroused. She thought her neck was going to snap soon from avoiding checking his neither regions for trace of his arousal. But maybe he wasn’t turned on. Maybe he only slept with her because he was drunk and she was available. She hadn’t been very hard to get. Had she been to easy? Did he think she was a slut now?
“Of course I accept”, she stated. “I have no choice. I agree, it is the best solution. I’m very grateful that you’re willing to help me with this, professor.”
“I also do not have a choice, so spare your thanks. We are as of now in this together.”
He extended his hand for her to shake and she took it, once again a little overwhelmed about how large his hands were compared to her own. He let go of her and walked to the door.
“Minerva wants us to discuss the details tonight, but since you’ve agreed I would much prefer if you and I discuss it alone. I have no intention of discussing this in a room with Lupin and Potter. I have cancelled my classes for today and I have given you a leave of absence.”
“But sir, it’s the first day of …”
“I know, but I doubt you will have problems catching up. If, against all odds, you do, I’ll help you with the work you’ve missed. Meet me in my office after breakfast.”
With that he strode out of her room with his cloak billowing after him, as usual. Hermione sighed and sat down heavily on the bed. As she apparently was not going to attend classes, there was no need to wear the uniform. With another sigh, she went back to the luggage and started to rummage through it. Hell. How was she going to be able to tell Harry and Ginny about this?

“Absolutely not”, Harry exclaimed ten minutes later. He had refused to leave without an explanation, because incidentally Hermione had been wrong about his morning habits. Apparently they had changed over the summer and he came out of his room just in time to see Snape leave.
“This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard of”, he roared, throwing his hands out like he always did when he was angry. Hermione had a bad feeling he was going to start play the hero part again.
“We’re going to miss breakfast, Harry. Let’s just …”
“No! We are staying here until we come up with a better solution. I am not going to let you marry Snape without a fight.”
“Well it’s really not up to you, is it? I’m a grown woman, who can make her own decisions. This one has already been made. I accepted.”
“Take it back. I’ll marry you.”
“You can’t, you’re not twenty. Apparently the ministry does not object to taking away women's’ freedom, but they draw the line at teenage pregnancies. I guess that’s a positive thing though. Anyway, I wouldn’t let you, even if you were twenty. You’re with Ginny.”
“I could still be with her. We would be married on paper only.”
“You know what, it’s pointless to discuss it, it’s not going to happen. Harry, let it go. I’m marrying Snape.”
Harry let out a frustrated cry and slumped down on the sofa. Hermione sat down next to him and put a hand on his knee.
“It’s going to be okay Harry. I really think Snape will treat me okay. And it’s only until we find a way to abolish this fucking law. I’m lucky I’m such high profile to death eaters, so I have to get special treatment.”
“But you’re not going to be happy”, Harry exclaimed and grabbed her hands, looking into her eyes. “Hermione, I’m so sorry I didn’t protect you from Ron. I really didn’t see that coming. I feel terrible, which is why I decided to protect you. I never want to see you get hurt that way again. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“Harry, you don’t have to protect me. I’m doing fine, and I didn’t see Ron being that huge of an arse coming either.”
“But you’ve always protected me”, he whispered. Without warning he leaned forward and kissed her deeply. Hermione kissed back, easily falling into the well known rhythm of his lips. She put her hands over his cheeks, gently caressing them and then after a while, gently pushing him away.
“We promised each other we would never do that again”, she whispered. “You love Ginny.”
“Yes I do. But I love you too.”
“Not in the same way, Harry. You’re like my brother.”
“And you’re my sister, Hermione. I can’t stand the thought of you together with Snape. I know he turned out to be on our side, but that does not mean he’s a good man. Certainly not good enough for you.”
“You can’t decide that for me, Harry. No matter how much you love me.”
She leaned forward and kissed him gently on his lips, parting her lips slightly and flitted out her tongue. And then just before the kiss deepened, she pulled away again.
“Have you ever told Ginny about what happened between us?”
Harry shook his head, and closed his eyes. A single tear dropped down on their joined hands. “How could I? I know we weren’t technically together then but … it would break her heart.”
“Yes, it would. Which is why I will never tell Ron either. No matter how much he hurt me, I wouldn’t want to hurt him like that.”
Hermione looked at her wrist watch and sighed deeply.
“Well, we missed breakfast. I have to get down to Snape’s office before my fiancee gives me detention.”
Harry flinched slightly but tried to cover it up with a small smile. She loved him for that.
“I’ll see you tonight then?”
“Absolutely. Wait up for me, I’m in the mood for some exploding snaps.”
