Dreams and Journal

Severus left soon after their kiss making Hermione feel empty and lonely. When Severus was around she felt safe, comforted and rather hot without him she didn't particularly feel safe. Yes, she was in Grimmauld probably one of the safest places to be but she didn't feel safe without Severus. He had this way of making her feel protected. Maybe it was his brooding charm or his strict stance but him being near her made her feel safe and protected.

Hermione went to sleep straight after Severus left. She sunk down into her bed and snuggled into the heavy duvet and dreams came to her.

She dreamt of the night she got attacked although it didn't turn out as it had in real life. In her dream she was saved by Severus. Severus had been walking beside her in New York and had protected her against Cole. He had duelled him in the street for Hermione, to protect her, he had saved her. After he had duelled Cole he pulled Hermione into his arms and kissed her and comforted her.

Hermione awoke in the middle of the night feeling alone and wanting Severus. How could her feelings change so quickly in such a short time? Only three years ago he was her feared Potions Professor now he could be her lover? Could she learn to love teacher Severus as well as getting to know the man he really was. She hoped she could.

Hermione got out of bed and checked her muggle mobile on the stand for the time. It was just after two in the morning. The night was dark and damp and Hermione wrapped her dressing gown around her and grabbed her journal from the small desk in the corner of the room.

She sat down in the small arm chair and opened the journal. She ran her fingers over the page and smiled at the thought that Severus would be writing to her soon. Hermione slowly closed the book when she saw the page she was looking at light up. She quickly opened the journal to see what was happening and saw Severus's hand writing.

What are you doing up?

Hermione smiled. He was awake.

I had a dream, I couldn't sleep. How did you know I was up and looking at the Journal?

I have my ways. Did you have a bad dream?

Was it a bad dream she thought? In a way it was but in a way it was comforting to have him in her dream but she couldn't tell him that.

I did. I dreamt of that night in New York. It seems to be haunting me.

Do you want a potion to help you to sleep? I could floo one over for you; you need to sleep Hermione.

A potion to help her sleep? What she would really like was to curl up to him and sleep or not exactly sleep but well...

I'll be fine. What are you doing up anyway?

I am often awake at this time. I have sleep problems of sorts since the War and tonight I am also working on a potion which needs my constant attention.

Then maybe I should let you go if your potion needs you.

It is fine at the moment; I am having a well deserved rest.

Have you got many classes tomorrow?

Only morning classes and then after lunch I am free. Monday's are my favourite days.

Would I be able to visit you in the afternoon?

Please say yes, please say yes she thought and prayed.

If that is what you wish then of course. I will open the floo for you here and you may floo straight to my private rooms or my office whichever you are more comfortable with. Should I expect you for dinner?

Are you asking?

Yes

Then yes I will stay to have dinner with you Severus.

Good. I will get the house elves to set up a dinner for us here in my private rooms. Now get some sleep and I shall see you tomorrow.

Alright. Good Night Severus.

Good Night Hermione.

The next morning Hermione awoke to find breakfast cooked and laid out for her. She ate with Harry and told him of her plans for the rest of the day.

'Are you sure?' Harry asked wondering why Hermione would want to spend the afternoon with Snape.

'Yes, I'm sure.' Hermione replied. 'I want to go to Hogwarts and have a look around and then Severus and I are going to discuss my apprentice over dinner.'

'Over dinner?' Harry said as he winked at Hermione. 'Are you going on a date with Professor Snape?'

Hermione rolled her eyes and stood up with her empty plate in her hand. She placed the plate in the sink and turned around and looked at Harry.

'No.' she said. 'I am going on a date with Severus.' And with that she walked out leaving a shocked Harry Potter.

Hermione walked up to her room and into the shower. She took a long hot shower and when she walked into her room with only a towel around her found Harry sat at the small desk.

'So you're going on a date with Snape?' he said as he looked at Hermione and blushed.

Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed hold of her fluffy dressing gown. She pulled it around her towel clad body and smiled. 'Harry, I am going to Hogwarts and Severus and I are having dinner that is all.'

'So it's not a date?' he asked.

'I don't know what you want to call it but I am not calling it a date.' Hermione said as she grabbed her hair brush.

'Do you like him?' he asked her quietly.

'Harry do we really have to have this conversation.' She said as she looked at him.

'I could see you know. The night you were...attacked. When he came he just, well the look on his face just told it all. He looked so scared and worried and I've never seen him look like that. He's normally so cool and collected but when he saw you he kind of lost it.' Harry said as he looked at Hermione. 'If you are getting it on or whatever just be careful Hermione.'

'I will.' She said as she watched Harry stand up.

'You have weird taste in men Hermione.' He said as he walked out her room leaving her to her privacy.

Hermione spent the morning reading and slowly getting ready. She roughly dried her hair into loose waves and applied light make up to her face covering up the yellowish tinge. She lined her eyes with brown eyeliner and applied mascara to make her eyes lashes long and sensual.

She dressed in grey straight legged jeans with navy blue ballet flats. She choose a blue and white striped top which clung to her curves and threw on a grey woolly cardigan to save her from the chilly winds of Scotland.

She ate lunch on her own as Harry was now at work and then flooed straight to Severus's private rooms at Hogwarts.

She arrived in his floo and stepped out into the living room. It was lighter in colour than she believed it would be. He had a corner sofa which looked good enough to curl up into and a bookstand full of books she would love to read.

'Good afternoon.' Severus said as he stood in the entrance of his private rooms watching Hermione look around.

'Hello.' She said as he looked at him. 'Your rooms are amazing.'

'I'm afraid I can't take the credit for them. Narcissa decorated them for me a few years back as a birthday present.' He said as he made his way towards her. 'How are you feeling today?'

'Good.' She said as she looked up at him. 'How were your classes this morning?'

'Tiresome.' He said as he sat down. 'Three caldrons were blown up in one lesson.'

'Almost as bad as Neville then.' Hermione said as she sank down onto the sofa beside him.

'Almost.' He said as he stretched his arm over the sofa around Hermione's shoulders.

Hermione moved a little closer to him feeling his heat. She felt comforted and safe in this position she wish to curl up into him and stay there forever.

'What did you do this morning?' he asked.

'Not a lot.' She replied. 'Harry and I had breakfast and then I started to get ready to come here. I was so excited to be here, to be with you.'

Severus smiled softly for a mini second and nodded at what Hermione said. It excited him that she wanted to be with him however at the same time it scared him. Why did she want this old man?

'Can we go look around the grounds?' Hermione asked. 'I've been dreaming of this place for the last three years, I've missed it. It's like home to me.'

'And to me too. I have been here more years than I want to admit.' He said as he started to stand up.

'Would you ever leave?' she asked as she stood up.

'Maybe if I had a reason.' He said as he looked at Hermione.

Severus led Hermione out of his rooms and down the dungeons of Hogwarts. They walked through the corridor and out to the greens of Hogwarts. Hermione walked close beside Severus as they walked around the grounds talking about certain memories and times.

They even visited Hagrid for a short while and even had tea. Hagrid was very happy to see Hermione and even more surprised to see Severus alongside her. After having tea with Hagrid, Severus took Hermione to his private lab.

Hermione was alive with passion when she saw his private lab. This would be the lab she would work in when she finished her degree.

'This is amazing.' Hermione said as she walked around looking into the caldrons.

'It is adequate for my needs. If I had my way I would have the rooms slightly different.' He said.

'I think it's perfect.' She said as she sat at his desk. 'What are you working on right now?'

'A new potion of sorts to help infertile couples.' He said as he went to one of the gold caldrons simmering.

'And does it work?' she asked as she looked at him.

'I'm not sure yet. I haven't trialled it.' He said. 'I need people to try it on.'

'I'm sure there are lots of couples who would be willing to try it. Severus you're potion could be amazing. You'd be able to help thousands of people have children.' She said as she smiled up at him.

'It might not even work yet Hermione.' He said as he turned off the fire. 'Come on, I believe dinner will just about be ready for us.'

'Have we really been out that long?' she asked as she stood up.

Severus and Hermione made their way to his private rooms again. His living room had been transformed into a romantic dining room setting. A table for two had been set with a single candle burning.

Hermione gasped as she took in the scene and smiled as Severus led her to the table and helped her to her seat. He then sat across from her and took her small hand in his larger hand.

'The house elves went a little over the top.' He said as he looked around.

'No it's perfect.' She said softly. 'You didn't have to go to so much effort.'

Hermione and Severus ate a three course meal together while discussing New York and potions and other things. They drank a bottle of wine between them and were slightly tipsy well Hermione was.

After dinner the house elves got rid of the table and the sofa reappeared and Severus and Hermione curled up in the luscious sofa.

Hermione curled into his side and rested her head against his chest while Severus's arm was wrapped around her securely.

'Thank you for a lovely evening Severus.' She said as she looked up at him.

'You're welcome.' He said. 'You'll have to return the favour when I come to New York.'

'I doubt we'll have chance to be alone in my flat.' She said. 'And I can't cook either.'

'I'll have to teach you.' He said as he placed a kiss on her head.

'I'd like that.' She said as she yawned.

'I should get you home.' He said as he looked at her.

'I don't want to.' She said as she moved closer to him. 'I could stay here forever.'

'As much as I'd love that. You need to go home before Potter comes here wondering what I've done to you.' He said darkly.

'And what would you do to me Severus?' she whispered to him.

'You don't want to know. Now let's get you home.' He said as he detangled himself from her body and stood up pulling her up with him.

Severus pulled Hermione into the floo with him and soon found themselves in the living room of Grimmauld. Hermione signed when she realised she was home.

'Are you free Wednesday night?' he asked.

'I am.' She said smiling.

'Keep it free. We'll do something.' He said. 'Now I must leave you before I decide to take you home with me.'

'Please take me with you.' She said as she pressed her body to his.

'No.' He said. 'You're drunk and I won't take advantage of you.'

'Do take advantage.' She whispered huskily.

'Hermione. Be a good girl.' He said as he kissed her head. 'Goodnight.'

'Don't I get a goodnight kiss?' she pouted tipsily.

Severus didn't answer and placed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and all he could think about what her body wrapped around his. He pulled away as he felt Hermione's tongue try and gain entrance to his mouth.

Hermione pulled back full of lust. She wanted him and badly too.

'Go to bed Hermione.' He said as he pushed her out of his reach.

'I'll see you Wednesday?' she asked.

'Yes.' He said as he watched her walk away from him.

'Goodnight Severus.' She said quietly as she walked out the room.
