Disclaimer: Please ignore the screaming characters tied up behind me. You see I do not own them nor am I making money off them. Yet, I have still kidnapped them and planning to have my way with them.

A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers. You guys are great. Thanks to my two betas Alianne and Akathryna without you two, no one would be able to read this. Question does anyone think the kiss in the last chapter was two forced? It originally was not there but I am supposed to have them kiss three times and they are being difficult so I wrote it in.

Chapter 5: Of fingers and dreams.

Hermione was thankful to see the warm bath waiting for her after dinner that night. Between Megan�s running commentary on the whole dinner and her husband David glairing at her she just wanted to unwind. Of course, that had not been counting Severus constantly trying to get her to talk to him. She had almost been tempted to go sit by her mother, even if that meant hearing about how if she didn�t choose a husband she would be a spinster.

She looked around for Melody but did not see her. Thankfully, she was very flexible and with much wiggling she got out of her clothes. She sunk down into the warm water with an enthusiastic sigh. The heat invaded her muscles, forcing them to relax. She took an appreciative sip of the wine and slowly savoured the flavour as it slid down her throat. This was exactly what she needed.

Severus woke to frantic knocking on his door. It was still early in the night and he was determined to kill whoever was knocking. He marched to the door and threw it open to come face to face to a deathly white and crying Melody.

�My lord. She won�t wake!� Melody sobbed. �The fire has been put out with water, the room is cold and I can�t get her out of the tub. She will not wake up!�

�Get coals out of my fire,� he said before running to Hermione�s room. When he opened the door, the cold air hit him. He grabbed the down comforter off her bed and set it on the floor next to the tub. He shivered feeling how cold she was as he picked up her up and held her to his chest for a second before wrapping her in the comforter.

Melody burst into the room with a bucket of coals. Before long, she had a roaring fire going. Snape quickly scanned the room taking in everything as he moved Hermione closer to the fire. �Melody, did you bring her wine tonight?�

�No. She did not ask me to bring her wine so I did not.� Melody looked at him worriedly.

Snape grabbed the empty bucket Melody had used and sat down next to Hermione, pulling her into his lap. He turned her head, supporting it over the bucket. He slid two of his long, slender fingers down her throat. He pushed them down until her gag reflex took over. She lost the contents of her stomach into the bucket as he held her hair back.

�Sir! What are you doing?� Melody was alarmed at his actions.

�Someone has poisoned her,� Severus explained irritably as he supported Hermione with one arm. �This should get the poison out, if it hasn�t been in her system too long.�

Hermione coughed and groaned as she finished throwing up. Severus took this as a positive sign and moved her closer to the fireplace. �Come on Hermione, come back to me.�

When Hermione�s eyes flittered open, Severus pulled her into a tighter embrace. �Severus, I need to breathe.� It was so weak that he almost did not hear it.

�Foolish girl, didn�t you learn anything from Moody?� He lectured even though his hold on her loosened only a little.

�Why would anyone want to kill me here? I mean, we are in a book. Maybe the author is in league with Voldemort.� Hermione leaned into him, trying to steal his warmth.

�The author hates the Dark Lord with a passion. I�ll find out who did this, don�t worry.� Melody had sunk back into the shadows to give the two some privacy, while being there if needed. Severus looked straight at her. It was kind of unnerving how he could do that to someone who had been trained all her life to disappear. �Melody, please get Hermione some water and check the rumour mills. See if anyone is upset about Hermione being here.�

Hermione had been silently thinking while the short exchange went on. She waited until Melody was gone before she spoke. �If you had let me die then we would probably be back by now.� Her voice was horse from both the poison and the purging.

�Do you honestly believe I could let you die?� he growled. �There is the distinct possibility that what happens in this book is permanent.�

Hermione snuggled farther into his chest. �It�s just because I�m so cold,� she told herself.

Severus picked up that thought through their connection. He was thankful she could not see the smile on his face. �So she is in denial. I�ll just have to enlighten her later.�

�If that is the case�� she yawned, �Then who ever I marry here will be my husband in real life. Great, I�ll be married to someone who doesn�t exist.�

Melody entered the room carrying a pitcher of water. Severus looked at her and removed Hermione from his lap, ignoring the sigh of protest that issued from her lips on losing her heat source. �Melody, please get her to drink all that water. Then get her into bed and do not leave her alone. If she looks any worse, come get me.�

�Yes sir. The cook said he�s not heard anything but he�ll get his people snooping for you,� she informed him.

�You know I am right here?� Hermione said as she tried to stand without exposing herself. �Not that he hasn�t seen everything already,� she thought with a blush. In her weakened state trying to move had not been a smart idea. She had started toward the bed when her legs gave out.

�Foolish girl.� Severus growled as he caught her. He pulled her completely into his arms and carried her to the bed, dumping her unceremoniously when he got there. �You are not to move from this bed until I and your father�s healers tell you too. Now let Melody help you get something on, unless you want everyone to see what I�ve seen.� Snape ignored her blush and closed the door. He knew he was not going to get any sleep tonight.

�She had just said something about his age again. Hermione could not remember what it was she had said but she could see he was angry about it. She backed up looking for an escape route as he advanced. She darted to the right to get past him but he caught her and pulled her into his embrace.

Hermione opened her mouth to protest, only to have what she was going to say smothered out as Severus claimed her. His tongue invaded her mouth as his hand moulded her into him. She felt his erection on her stomach.

Her sense of reason left her to his mercy when his hand gently cupped her breast and his thumb rubbed circles over her nipple. A whimper escaped her lips as he released her mouth to suck on her earlobe and then trailed feather-light kisses down her neck till he reached the hollow where her neck met her shoulder.

He let his tongue taste her as he pinched her nipple through the fabric of her gown. Her back arched as a moan of pleasure escaped her lips. Sharp pain travelled up her neck when he bit her but his tongue quickly eased the pain and turned it to pleasure. He pulled away from her then and looked into her eyes. She could see what she was feeling echoed there.

�I mark you as mine.� He growled, it was deep and filled with longing.�

Hermione sat straight up in bed. The dream had felt so real it was disturbing. She could still feel his hands and mouth on her. Looking around the room, she spotted Melody asleep in the chair.

She got up quietly so not to wake the girl and crept over to the mirror. Pulling back the neck of her gown, she had to stifle a gasp. Where Severus had bit her in the dream was a dark purple mark. She had seen Lavender cover up hickies before but had never seen any this dark. She would really like to know how a dream could mark her.
