Chapter 42: Found
Severus Snape walked quickly through the halls of the mansion. He had run to the apparition point, apparated, and then ran the mile that led to his destination. He could not believe his luck in spotting Hermione with Black. For six long weeks they had done nothing but search all the wizarding areas, and they had also been spending a lot of time in Muggle cities and towns. They had come up with nothing. They had not spotted Hermione or the Dark Lord's son. Catching his breath, Severus straightened his robes and smoothed down his hair. He was planning out where he would stand when he delivered the news to the Dark Lord. With the ugly mood that he had been in lately, this current news wouldn't brighten his spirits any. Severus didn't want to be at the end of an Unforgivable Curse when he delivered the news of his findings. He knew that even when "good" news was delivered, the bearer of such news, was not always well received. Taking a deep breath, he blew it out slowly to settle his shaky nerves. He opened the wide, wooden doors that led to his Masters chambers. His own footsteps clicked loudly in his ears on the tile floors. Severus stood waiting at the entrance to the open chamber. The Dark Lord was standing in front of a full length mirror, staring at his reflection.
"Do you think that she will still be attracted to me Severus?" His eyes locked with his servants; waiting, questioning.
Severus gave a blank look towards his Master. Lord Voldemort was still a strong, good looking wizard, though he was now in his fifties. Many witches were still following him around and wanting to warm his bed. Whether this happened because of his looks or the power he emanated, he never lacked for female company. He lately had aged some, as he had purportedly been messing around with some very dark magic, according to Lucius Malfoy. When Severus questioned him about the darkness of the magic, Lucius would only say that The Dark Lord's soul would never be the same. This puzzled Severus, but he had never pursued the conversation after that.
Walking over to the Dark Lord, he dropped to his knees and bowed his head. He reached out to touch his Master's robes, "How could she not be? If she could only see you again she would realize her love was still alive."
Lord Voldemort turned around staring at the Death Eater on the floor. "You've seen her. Haven't you?" His question was more a statement, and said with a blend of excitement and anger. "Stand Severus, and tell me what you are trying so hard to block from me."
Severus peeked up at his Master, through the strands of hair falling over his face. He quickly stood in front of him with some trepidation,"Yes, my Lord, I think I saw her today. I saw a woman that resembled the picture of Hermione."
The anger fled from The Dark Lord, as his eyes lit up with pleasure. "Tell me, where did you see her? Did she have my son with her? Did she look well?" He spoke so quickly that Severus had a hard time trying to formulate in his mind how he was going to answer all of his questions without being cursed. How was he going to explain that not only had he seen her, but he had seen Sirius Black laying and grinding on top of her. He had seen Hermione wearing a dress that accentuated every beautiful curve on her luscious body, including her delicious large breasts. They were practically falling out of the halter, style dress. That dog Black hadn't been able to keep his eyes or hands off of her. Severus licked his dry lips and parched throat as he prepared what to say and exactly how to say it.
"Spit it out man! What are you trying so hard not to tell me? Is she ugly and maimed?" The Dark Lord's furry was building and it was about ready to explode.
Severus almost laughed out loud at the thought of Hermione being described as ugly. She was nowhere even close to ugly. This woman was beautiful and alluring, He could see why his Master had fallen for this witch so long ago. "My Lord, she was at a park, on what looked like a picnic"
The Dark Lord's face was now showing shock, not anger. "A picnic you say? Who was she on a picnic with, the baby maybe?"
"No my Lord, Hermione didn't have the baby with her." Severus wasn't going to spill all of the information at once. He didn't know if this was a good strategy or not.
"Who was she with then?" Lord Voldemort shouted as he stood clenching his fists, looking like he wanted to reach out and strangle Severus.
"She was with Sirius Black, an Order member." Severus took three steps back ready to make a quick retreat if needed.
"What was she doing with Regulus Black's brother? Was it only the two of them?"
"Yes, my Lord, they looked like they were on a date together." Severus held his breath waiting for a curse to hit him.
"What were they doing on this date? I want all of the details Severus Snape!"
Severus knew his time of keeping secrets was up. He needed to give all of the details to his Master now. Before Severus could think of anything else to say, the Dark Lord pulled him to him, looking deep into his eyes. The Master of Legilimency was now searching for the truth. Severus Snape could feel his mind being invaded. It was painful as The Dark Lord was rushing through his memories. He heard Lord Voldemort catch his breath and utter a few vulgarities as he viewed Hermione and Black together. When finished, The Dark Lord shoved Severus away knocking him to the ground. "I will kill him! I may kill them both! How could she do this to me?" Severus stayed slumped over on the floor. He knew that his Master was not looking for him to answer any of his questions. He often ranted and raved like this out loud.
"I thought she loved me! Where is my son?" Without speaking another word to his servant, Lord Voldemort apparated out of his chambers, while Severus lay shaking on the floor. He couldn't believe his luck at not being cursed while delivering this unwanted news to his Master. With his head aching, he slowly curled up from the floor, and stood on unbalanced legs. He sluggishly made his way out of his Master's chambers. He didn't want to still be there when he returned.

Hermione could not keep the smile off of her face. Ever since her date with Sirius she had been floating around the Potter's house. Lily had thoroughly questioned her when she had returned. Sirius had dropped her off and left, leaving Hermione standing there grinning. First, he had given her a long, hard kiss, then apparated away. Lily had clapped her hands in excitement and pulled Hermione into the sitting room.
"You need to spill it all. Apparently things went well, right? Or he wouldn't have left you with that kind of a kiss." Lily was so excited; a bystander would have thought Sirius had kissed her.
"Calm down Lily before you put yourself into labor." Hermione knew she was still four days away from when Harry would be born.
"So what did you do? Where did you go? Did you snog a lot?"
"Slow down and I will tell you everything. We went to the park for a picnic and yes, and then we did a good share of snogging." Hermione beamed as she shared about her time with Sirius. As she thought about Sirius kissing her, it made her body start to shiver and tingle. "He pulled together a fine lunch, tasty cheese, meats and wine." She grinned thinking about how he had made her feel.
"He makes me laugh Lily. I can feel the darkness start lifting when I'm around him. I haven't felt this light in such a long time." Hermione looked so content; all Lily could do was smile back at her.
"You know we love Sirius and we have grown to love you and Thomas. This makes me so happy!" Hermione's mind was swirling with so many thoughts and feelings. One part of her was so ecstatic at the feelings of new love for Sirius. On the other side she was flooded with guilt. She still loved Tom Riddle, the young man, from long ago. How could she love the Dark Lord that he had turned into? She hated that man with a passion. That is the monster that had killed so many of her beloved friends. While she had been in the throes of falling in love with Tom, it had been easy to forget the monster he would turn into some day. Hermione had honestly believed that with her love and the child they shared, that she would change the course of history. Dumbledore had taken those dreams away from her when he had sent her to this time. What was she supposed to do? She was not willing to give up her son to the Dark Lord before she knew what he was like now. From all of the stories the Marauders had shared with her, he hadn't steered away from the course he had been on the first time with or without her in his life. Thomas's crying interrupted her line of thinking, and she jumped up. "I need to go get him. I know he must be hungry." She ran out of the room and up the stairs before Lily could question her further about Sirius. She wasn't sure what else she wanted to share with Lily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius, James and Lupin were gathered around a table in the local pub. Sirius had kicked his legs up on the table, as he guzzled down his second beer. His friends had wanted to know all of the details about his time with Hermione.
"So tell us how things went with the beautiful Hermione?" James asked him as he grinned at his friend.
"Better yet," said Lupin, "What was she wearing and did you lay on the typical Sirius Black charm?" The friends laughed together as they knew their friend well and how he was around the ladies.
"She was wearing something, that when I laid my eyes on her, I started thinking with my other head."
"Tell us something that we don't already know Padfoot." James smacked Sirius hard in the back, causing him to fall forward in his seat.
"She had on a yellow, halter sundress that was very tight on the top. I wanted to reach up and untie the bow on the back of her dress, so those huge baps would spill out into my hands." Sirius closed his eyes as he talked, envisioning how Hermione had looked that day.
"So did you do more than look and wish?" James asked. Both of the friends were hoping for more details than what her dress looked like.
"Oh I thought you gents knew me better than that," Sirius put his hands over his heart," Of course I did more than look!" His eyebrows wiggled as he continued, "We had a right fine time of some good old fashioned snogging. I wasn't sure that was even going to happen. She is as scared as a mouse."
"Sirius, I don't think she's scared at all, of you that is. Remember she may still be in love with Thomas's father. Don't pressure her mate." Remus looked sternly at his friend. "If you push too hard you may scare her away."
James almost laughed when he saw the puzzled look on Sirius's face. He was not used to backing down when it came to a woman that he wanted. He could tell that his best friend was in this to win over the girl. The question was, maybe Hermione's heart wasn't available for the taking. He and Lily had been staying up late many nights, taking about this exact thing. Though Hermione didn't know exactly where Thomas's father was, he was indeed out there. Until she settled things, one way or another with this man, Hermione wouldn't be truly free to love again. They had grown to love Hermione and only wanted her happy. James looked up and saw his friends in animated conversation again about the date with Hermione. James just smiled and took another drink, not sure how this was all going to turn out.
