Friday morning started off oddly.
Hermione woke up and rolled over, trying to snuggle into the last of the warmth from Severus' body, only to find his side of the bed empty. She turned over to check the time and saw that it was already 8:00. Racking her ears for a distant sound, she realized the baby was already downstairs laughing and she could also hear the low rumble of Severus' silky baritone. She threw on her bathrobe and went downstairs to see one of the most adorable and simultaneously drop dead sexy things she had ever witnessed in her life. Severus Snape, hair still wet from the shower, shirtless and feeding her gorgeous baby girl as she sat in her highchair. Laid out on the table in the bare dining room, was a full spread of breakfast foods. Blueberry pancakes, hash browns, bacon and sausages, as well as orange juice, milk, and coffee.
"Severus, you really didn't need to do all this. You could have woken me up."
"You needed the sleep, sweet. Besides, I was already awake. Lorelei and I were just getting better acquainted. Isn't that right little one?" Hermione's sat down patting her daughter's sweet curls, before fixing herself a plate.
"And why were you already up?"
"I had one or two errands to run before everyone woke up today. We'll need to be leaving soon, so eat up. Once we've finished I'll set to shrinking and packing up all the furniture with the rest. Is there anything that you wanted to do before we leave?" He was obviously avoiding the question, but he was right, so Hermione let it go.
"Not at all. I have everything I need right here with me now." She gave him a meaningful look, gazing deeply into his obsidian black pools. He placed his hand on top of hers and said "I quite agree with you there, my dear," Before he leaned over and placed a soft delicate kiss on the corner of her mouth. Which the baby promptly giggled at. A slight blush rose in Hermione's cheeks at being caught out by her one-year-old daughter, before she looked back up into Snape's eyes and saw a depth of emotion there she hadn't previously seen.
After a flurry of activity in setting the house to rights and getting the rest of the furniture packed, as well as getting the baby's bag packed and getting her changed, the 'almost family' stood in the middle of the empty house at 8:59, awaiting the activation of the portkey that would take them to their new life together. Hermione looked up at Severus as he held her small child close to his breast, leaning over to give her soft kisses on her neck, making her squeal in excitement, before looking back at his beautiful witch. Just as she started to feel the pull of the portkey behind her belly button she look deeply into his eyes and said "I love you, Severus." She didn't quite hear through the pull of the portkey when he said "And I will always love you, Hermione."
**********
Upon landing (more gracefully than she had expected) in the middle of Hogsmeade, Hermione lifted her gaze to take in her surroundings. In all the time she had been gone, it had changed very little and she was brought back to so many memories of her past. Getting sweets from Honeydukes with the boys, looking around at Weasley's Wizarding wheezes, spending hours devouring the shelves of Flourish and Blotts. Everything was so familiar, and yet it seemed like it had been a lifetime ago. Severus hiked Lorelei up on his hip and took Hermione's hand gently in his own, leading her through the village. Their first stop was, of course, Flourish and Blotts, where Hermione spent as much time as Severus would allow choosing a few books for 'light reading' as well as some for the child. Severus added a few to this pile. He carefully took all of the books up to the counter and waited for them to be rung up. As he waited he glanced over at the tiny witch in his arms and smiled before glancing at her mother on his other side. He tried to soak up every bit of emotion going through him at the decidedly domestic family scene he found himself in. If only more days could be like this one, he would be such a happy man.
After they had paid for their purchases, they made their way back through the thoroughfare and down the street to Honeydukes sweet shop. After purchasing just a few items for the baby to try later on, after dinner of course, they made their way towards Hogwarts.
"Hermione, I know this is going to be difficult for you. Just hold my hand and I promise, we'll make it through this together. I will be by your side no matter what."
"I could never be afraid going into any unknown if I have you by my side, Severus." Her eyes seemed to convey a message with deep meaning to him, which he immediately recognized as love and he squeezed her hand in reply. As they neared the castle gates, Hermione could see a lone figure standing there in dark green, velvet robes that billowed slightly in the light breeze going through. She would recognize that hairstyle and hat anywhere. As they came upon the gates and the figure standing there, Hermione could hardly contain herself. It had been five long years since she had seen her mentor, and bad memories were the last thing on her mind.
Before they approached the gate, in their final few steps, Severus stopped her with a gentle tug on her wrist and turned her towards him. She looked up at him, holding her child so close and gently to his chest, as the baby looked around with awe on her face, and she couldn't hold it in any longer. Hermione took the last half a step towards him, and leaning up on her tiptoes, placed her hands on his chest for balance, giving him a gentle but passionate kiss on his lips, which he eagerly returned. After a few moments, the baby started giggling at them again and they reluctantly pulled away from each other. Hermione leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her daughter's downy cheek, before turning back towards the gates and walking up to a very dumbstruck headmistress. Professor McGonagall's mouth was opening and closing as if words could not be formed in her mind. Shock clearly displayed on her face upon seeing her normally dark and our Potions Master, holding a small child, both of them smiling.
"Minerva, please close your mouth. You're doing a remarkable impression of a Flounder at the moment, and I'm not entirely certain the baby will understand what it means." He said with a smirk. Hermione chuckled lightly before threading her arm through his and lowering the wards on the castle gates, as he led them through.
"Good Gods, Severus. Perhaps next time you could give an old woman some warning before surprising her into a heart attack."
"And what, pray tell, should I have warned you about? The fact that the friend I was bringing back was Miss Granger? Or the fact that I am in a relationship with her and her daughter?" As he said these words, he looked at Hermione with his passion clearly written on his face and Hermione melted just a little more and felt her knickers completely soak through. They most definitely needed some alone time. The sooner the better.
"Yes well... Probably both of those things. You can't blame me for being shocked Severus. I've never seen you with a child in your arms, let alone one that was smiling and happy to be either where she was." She said with a twinkle very much like the former headmaster in her eye.
"I suppose that would be true. But it may be time for you to learn that sometimes there are... extenuating circumstances."
Once the shock had worn off Minerva eagerly folded her arms around a happy, smiling Hermione. The two immediately began crying and laughing through their tears as their embrace went on.
"I'm so glad you're back, Hermione. We were absolutely terrified when we couldn't find you, and no one would tell us anything about where you had gone. I wasn't even sure about Kingsley knowing anything until a few months ago, when Severus said he finally found out where you were."
"I understand, Minerva. It seems the minister hasn't been doing a lot of the things that I thought he was. I never intended to be gone this long, and I certainly did not intend to never send word. Apparently, my letters were never delivered. But that's all in the past now. I'm here, I'm unbelievably happy, and I have someone I'd like you to meet." At this Hermione reached up and took her daughter into her arms from the man she loved, then turned to the woman in the green robes and said in a very sweet and calm voice, "Minerva, this is my daughter, Lorelei." She saw the woman stand there, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, before she turned to her daughter and said, "Lorelei sweetie, this is your grandma Minnie. Why don't you tell her hullo?"
Lorelei waved and offered a slightly wet, and noticeably gummy smile, before offering up an excited squeal at meeting the woman.
"Hermione, she is simply gorgeous. I feel we have much to discuss."
"Of course, you're right, Minerva. But I do believe this little lady will be needing a nap shortly. Is there somewhere quiet we could go?"
"Absolutely. Why don't we go to my office, and we adults can have some tea while the baby rests. If you would like we can have a bassinet brought into my office, or into the my Chambers. Perhaps even a house elf could check on her to be sure that all is well. I believe that may put your mind at ease."
"That would be perfect, Minerva, or should I say Grandma Minnie?" Severus said, mirth clearly showing in his eyes.
"I quite like that. Of course I would love to be Grandma Minnie for her. Hermione, you always were like a daughter to me. But I wouldn't want to step on any toes. Has Molly met her yet?"
"No, not yet. We had wanted to get everything settled here first, and I was thinking perhaps The Burrow tomorrow, after I meet with Kingsley. I have a feeling I may need a calming, more familiar place after I meet with him. And don't worry about stepping on any toes. I believe this child can handle all the love she can get. It can only do her well in life."
And so it went, that they walked across the grounds. Minerva showed the small family the memorials that had been put in place at specific battle sites. Severus kept his arm wrapped around Hermione's shoulders, her pillar of strength allowing her time to crumble, providing her with the sense of safety and security that she had longed for and had never known how to find. As they walked, Hermione under Snape's arm, with Minerva leading the group and a small toddling Lorelei, her auburn curls bouncing in the sunshine as she ran around looking this way and that, taking in everything she could see, they approached the Black Lake. Lorelei slowed her pace and watched the calm clear water in concentration. Hermione and Severus both approached the young girl, each grasping one of her tiny hands in one of theirs on either side of her. The giant squid carefully peaked out, looked at the small child, and splashed her, just the smallest bit, in jest. She laughed and giggled uproariously and began bouncing up and down asking for more. The squid obliged her, splashing her one last time before disappearing under the surface of the lake once again. Hermione and Severus both looked down on the small child, smiles on their faces. The small girl looked up at Hermione first and said "Mummy," then looked to Severus and said, "Daddy," then pointed towards the lake and said, "ahhhhhh!" with a high-pitched note of excitement to punctuate. Instead of laughing at the seemingly small gesture Hermione looked over and noticed the glassy, slightly tear tinged expression in his onyx eyes as they shared a small private smile, then lean towards each other over the small girls head and shared a sweet kiss.
Hermione looked at him, appraisingly and said in a quiet soft tone, nearly a whisper, "you know, you could be if you wanted to."
Severus stood, dumb founded. He was so unsure of how to take this new information. He couldn't understand all of the strong emotions bubbling up from the pit of his stomach and splitting in the middle of his chest. He lifted his free hand and absently rubbed the place that the pain seemed to radiate from. It took him only moments to realize the amount of sheer love that he felt thrust upon him in this moment. And that was when he knew, he could never be anything less to this woman or this child then husband and father.
The family wandered the sprawling grounds of the castle for a short time before returning with Minerva. Severus was holding a sleeping child on his shoulder as she dozed softly, while playing with the hair at the nape of his neck and sucking on her thumb. Hermione conjured up a small bassinet with a soft squishy mattress, reached into her bottomless handbag and pulled out Lorelei's favorite toy, her stuffed pig, along with a light blanket that smelled of Severus and was sure to put her straight to sleep. Severus carefully laid her down, lifted one arm to tuck the pig under it, as Hermione laid the blanket over the sweet child before they both turned and joined Minerva in front of her desk for tea.
It was sometime later, after small talk over what had transpired over their years apart, that Minerva realized how strong of an asset this woman could be for her, just as she once had been as a student in her house. After the final battle and all of the subsequent battles prior, Hogwarts' staff and students alike had been hit significantly and had suffered great losses. There was no doubt that Minerva could eat easily find a place for her star student on her staff. Perhaps if the woman was sitting at the head table, it would alleviate any stress or tension the budding couple may have in developing their new relationship. Of course, she would need to find some sort of daycare for the child, but some things would have to be done, because certainly she was expecting to see many more children in the future from these two, if their longing looks at each other were anything to go by.
About two hours later, they heard a soft shuffling noise as the baby sat up in her crib, glancing over the side at the three adults still quietly conversing over long empty tea cups and biscuits. She made her alertness known as she pointed her tiny chubby finger at the dour Potions Master, and squealed in a delighted voice, "Daddy up," before lifting her hands in the air in a simple gesture, requesting to be lifted out and brought over to join the conversation.
Severus rose and crossed the room to pick up his favorite little witch, glanced over his shoulder back at Hermione and said, "I believe it's time we made our way to our rooms. What do you think, my sweet?" Hermione walked over, gave her daughter a soft kiss on the cheek as she tucked her curls behind her ear and said, "I believe you are right." She looked back at Minerva and said, "It's been lovely to see you, professor. I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty of you, but I believe it is time for us to unpack."
"Of course, my child. Make your way over, and I shall see you in the morning for breakfast. Perhaps we shall take it in my Chambers, as we are the only ones present in the castle at this time of year."
"That would be lovely, Minerva. We shall see you tomorrow morning."
"Oh, and Hermione? Should you be needing a babysitter, perhaps for some time alone with your gentleman there, I shall advise you of my willing service to you at any time. Young love is so important in its beginning stages, one must not forget to prioritize themselves." She said with a slightly raised eyebrow causing a blush to rise to Hermione's cheeks.
Severus answered for her as they walked towards the door of the headmistress's office, "Absolutely, Minerva. Would tomorrow afternoon be too early to request a babysitter? We will have to be meeting Kingsley to go over everything and it would be much easier without little hands and feet to watch over?"
"Certainly not a problem. Perhaps Sunday evening I can keep her overnight for you. I imagine Hermione has not had a night to herself in over a year. You both deserve a chance to relax. Just let me know if you are in need of me. Have a good evening." And with that, they left.
"Most interesting. I always had a feeling Albus was right about that match, meddling old fool." She said to the empty room, before turning to look at Albus' portrait. "Well, Albus? What do you think? I've got my galleons on a wedding withing 8 months and a baby withing 12 months of that." She smiled at him and raised a challenging brow.
"I believe you are on, Grandma Minnie." He chuckled at the nickname, "Clearly they will be married within 5 months, at the most" He finished with a wink.
**********
They had a quiet dinner in Severus' quarters, where the castle had created an extra room for the baby. It would be brightly lit during the day through the enchanted window. The walls were a pale pink and gray and had small animals painted here and there. There was a bookshelf already half filled with the stories for her they had picked up in Hogsmeade earlier that day. While they took turns at feeding Lorelei and eating their own supper, the house elves had set about unpacking for them, at the headmistresses insistence. Hermione acquiesced to this small intrusion.
Once their things had been unpacked, their tummy's happily filled, and a bedtime story read, the baby went to sleep. The moment they walked from the small extra room and into his sitting area, Hermione was immediately in Severus' arms with his lips crushing hers. Her hands roamed over his back, occasionally running her blunt fingernails over his muscular form. He held her tight and close with one hand cradling the back of her neck to improve the angle and one around her waist to settle in the small of her back. Their lips parted momentarily, as they each took off their outer robes.
"The baby, Severus," Hermione said, her voice thick with lust and desire. Snape flicked a lazy wrist, setting a one way silencing charm on the extra door so they could hear her if need be."Oh Gods, Severus. I need you now! I've waited long enough. Please, Severus! Have mercy on me!" Hermione groaned out, her body writhing against his in a frenzy.
"What the lady wants, the lady shall have." He said simply as he drew her against his body. She was pressed to him, her breasts crushed to his chest, her thighs to his, his firm erection to her aching need. She moaned loudly, as his mouth nipped at her carotid before soothing it with his tongue. "My Gods, woman. You have been killing me for the past week. So damn sweet. Sweet Merlin, so fucking sexy," He rumbled into her ear as she ground down on his trapped length. His trousers were getting somehow smaller in one area and were rapidly approaching 'painfully tight'. Hermione tunneled her fingers through his raven locks, then ran her hands down his back once again, to rest on his firm, chiseled backside before taking a squeeze.
"Please, Severus. Now!" And with her whispered plea, Severus lifted her into his arms as if she weighed no more than a sack of flower, and tossed her to the middle of his bed. He lifted his wand and spelled her clothes off and pointed to a chair near the bed, where they neatly folded themselves. He gazed down at her body for the first time. Even if he hadn't seen it before she had gone, it was plain to see how having Lorelei had changed her body. Her hips were more rounded and full, her bust much fuller from the months of feedings, her nipples dark for someone with her peaches and cream complexion, her well earned tiger stripes nothing but silvery lines on her hips with a few on her slightly rounded lower abdomen. It was, quite simply, the most erotic sight of Severus' life, to see this woman writhe on his bed, naked to his scrutinizing eyes, vulnerable in a way she never had been before. She was clearly slightly uncomfortable with the attention, but once she saw the raw passion in his eyes, she settled her heartbeat and lay back to allow him his perusal for a moment.
"I know I've changed. I hope you don't mind," She said shyly. Her mind started losing the battle and her hands began to creep around her tummy in an attempt to conceal it from his intense viewing.
"Please, Hermione, don't ever hide from me. You are... Gods, you are gorgeous. The most magnificent sight I've ever seen. I just need to be sure you're real, because beautiful creatures like you do not come into my life every day. Please tell me this is real." He said in a daze. She leaned up, reaching for his hand and pulled him onto the bed, stroking his cheeks and trailing light circles on his jaw line.
"This is real, Severus. Make love to me. Please. Show me how it can be; how it should be." She said on a breathy sigh. Her crouched on his knees between her slightly parted legs before running his finger tips so gently, up her inner thighs, before applying a slight pressure and spreading them farther apart and dipping his head to the top of her mound. His hands moved up and pulled her lower lips back so he could get an unobstructed view of her. He inhaled deeply, the wind passing over her outer lips sending a shiver and another moan through her entire body. She grabbed his hair and pulled his face to her core and unintentionally ground onto his face a bit and his resolve snapped.
"Fuck, I can't wait, Hermione. I had every intention of drawing this out to truly worship your wonderful body, but I just can't take it. You are entirely too perfect at the moment. Please forgive me." And he spelled his clothes off and promptly pushed his very impressive, thick length into her in one long stroke. He ended it with a firm push against her cervix and she saw stars. Hermione grasped his forearm where it rested to the side of her head and dug her nails into him hard. Her loud, broken noises drove him wild. To think that he was the one doing this for her, providing her so much overwhelmingly unbelievable pleasure...
He drove his length into her in hard and long strokes accompanied by their shared stuttering breaths. He pulled her legs up and over his shoulders, changing the angle enough to have her nearly talking in tongues, his hips moved fast. He became a near blur as he pushed for his release. His thumb settled over her bundle of nerves and strummed it to the same rhythm he had set with his hips. She began to feel the orgasm ride up within her belly, her toes curling unintentionally. His dirty rumbling commanded her. Her muscles started to clamp down and her voice was horse as she said, "Make me cum, Severus. Mark me as yours, Please." His lips found her neck and bit and sucked away at the pulse point, leaving a dark reddish-purple love bite.
His strokes grew harder and she egged him on loudly, feeling extremely thankful for the strong silencing charm he had put up before. He growled in the back of his throat, the vibration traveling through her aching nipples and sending her down a careening hole of pure bliss as she called his name in stuttering syllables.
"Sev-ver-er-usssssss!! Oh Gods- Merlin! Yes!" He quickly followed her over, her wet channel becoming almost painfully tight, nearly expelling his length from her. They both cried out and shuttered to a stop, gasping for breath and curling up in each others arms.
Before they completely drifted off to sleep, Severus took a deep inhale of her hair, wrapping his arm around her to hold a full breast and said "I'm sorry it wasn't more. I love you, Hermione. I'll worship you tomorrow, my sweet. And for the rest of our lives." He whispered against the shell of her ears. "For now, rest," He said, pulling the sheets over the both of them, before completely falling asleep, not to be recovered until at least the next afternoon.
