I would like to give a big shout out to my fabulous beta ScarletQuill for being superb Xx

It was around eleven pm by the time Severus had finished marking the papers at Hogwarts, he flooed wearily back to his study in the house he shared with Lucius and Draco. As soon as his personal house elf Gerty heard the floo activate, she'd popped into the room with a mug of dark, rich hot chocolate made just the way Severus liked it topped simply with a swirl of single cream to enhance the taste and left on the table beside the armchair her master favoured before popping back out of the room again till she was needed next.

Severus sank gracefully into the old dark green leather high wing back chair grateful for the fact that his house elf knew his needs better than he did at times and sipped the rich flavoursome drink thoughtfully, he placed the drink back on the table and removed the note from Hermione from his pocket.

Dinner, Leaky Cauldron 7pm?

Hermione.

0779410407

He was so lost in his thoughts of Hermione that he didn't realize that Lucius had entered the room and had read the note over his shoulder till he commented on it.

“That was incredibly fast work old boy, not that I blame you Miss Granger has definitely grown into a beautiful swan in the five years she's been away” Lucius said slyly as he sat in the chair opposite to Severus.

“We are merely catching up without the interference of everybody else, as you're well aware we were friends before she left” Severus replied calmly sipping his drink.

Lucius said nothing but merely arched a pale blond eyebrow at his friend.

“You do realise that has absolutely no effect on me don't you?” remarked Severus smoothly.

Lucius smirked “Tell me Severus, how did Hermione's delightful wiggle effect you? Because I have to say I rather enjoyed it and to be perfectly honest I wouldn't mind seeing more of it”

“And you're telling me this why?” Severus asked in clipped tones.

“Well seeing as you're such good friends with her, I was hoping that you could put in a good word for me at your little tété a tété tomorrow”

Severus bit back the retort that he wanted to say and instead said simply “If the conversation allows it then of course Lucius, but if you'll excuse me it has been a rather eventful day and I have another early start tomorrow”

“Of course old chum, I'll leave you to it” and Lucius left Severus and his hot chocolate alone for the night.

Severus stared into the warm brown depths of his mug, a little voice in the back his head telling him that it reminded him of the colour of Hermione's eyes, he snorted softly to himself if Lucius thought he would be getting anywhere near Hermione than he was sadly mistaken because there was no way that he was going to lose her a second time, he drained the lukewarm dregs that were in the bottom of the mug and went to bed unable to stop thinking about the witch who had evaded him for five years and whose kisses were like a heady drug that left him dreaming of more.

The following day Harry walked into the office carrying two mugs of steaming tea and found Hermione absent mindedly staring out of the window with a soft dreamy look on her face.

“Penny for your thoughts?” He asked putting one mug next to her mouse and then taking care not to spill the other as he perched on the corner of her desk.

“Damn it Harry! Haven't I told you not to go round sneaking up on people?” Hermione exclaimed once her nerves had calmed down.

Harry grinned “It's not my fault you were daydreaming about a particular tall, dark and handsome wizard we both know. Which by the way I'm still waiting to hear how it is you managed to snag and bag him in such a short time frame.”

Hermione smiled as she remembered her first kiss with Severus, as first kisses go it was perfect, not that she was complaining about the other kisses as they were amazing too, not to mention that surprisingly firm arse that given the right opportunity she would be quite happy to bite “Hmm I wonder if he's a brief or boxer man or maybe he goes commando” she thought to herself.

“Hello earth to Hermione, honestly if it was that good maybe we should wait until after work before you give me all the juicy details. Now what's the plan of action for today.”Harry said clicking his fingers to get Hermione's attention.

“Sorry Harry, I've already talked to Luna this morning and arranged for her to run a full page spread on the club plus the insertion of our standard free drinks voucher that can be used in either club. One of us needs to head to St Mungo's to check on Celeste, and then I've got all the bar and waiting staff coming in at three for final checks and run through of what is expected of each of them.”

Hermione's phone trilled as it announced an incoming text message, she quickly flipped it open and glanced at the brightly lit screen.

7pm. S

Never had such a short message brightened Hermione's day so quickly, she flipped her phone shut and just shook her head at Harry's questioning look.

“What about the security, what have you arranged with Draco?” she asked hoping to get the attention off her.

Knowing that Hermione would tell him everything when she was ready he just answered her question “Draco is sending his top team over sometime today, I thought that perhaps we could have a staff party so that everybody can get to know one another, what do you think?”

“Sounds like a plan, however I'm busy from seven till about nine or ten tonight but I will be back. Do you want me to go to see Celeste?”

Harry shook his head “No it's okay, I'm going to read her the riot act and offer her a final ultimatum about whether she wants to work here or not, however it may mean that we have no singer tomorrow night.”

Hermione cast a warming charm on her mug “Well we'll cross that bridge when it happens, I'll let my boys know in case they need to find another singer in the near future”

The office phone rang and Harry answered it.

“H and H Entertainments Mr H speaking how may I help you?....Okay, now is fine just send them over....I'm busy this afternoon, but I'm free tonight....I'll tell you what why don't you floo over about eight and after we've finished up the paperwork we can perhaps catch the last half of the game that's on tonight...Okay, see you then” he hung up and got off Hermione's desk.

“Who was that hun?” Hermione asked as she powered down her computer.

“That was Draco just letting us know that our security team will be with us shortly, and he has some more forms for us to sign so he's bringing them over later”

Hermione stood up and walked to the office door and as she passed Harry she nudged him with her elbow “I wonder if he's this hands on with all his clients or just the ones he likes”

Harry rolled his eyes and flashed a cheesy grin at his best friend “Who knows but I'm not complaining, he is a rather tasty bit of meat”

Hermione started laughing “You are such a tart Mr Potter!”

Harry bowed low as he opened the door for her “And yet you love me anyway” he gave her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek “Okay sweetie you rally the troops, I'll go to the hospital and we'll catch up later”

Leaving Harry Hermione made her way to the staffroom and was relieved to find every single member of staff ready and waiting for her orders.

Six hours later found Hermione waiting nervously at the bar in the Three Broomstick, nursing a half empty glass of cranberry juice, she flipped open her compact mirror and was checking that her makeup still looked fresh when a silky voice in her ear caused her to almost drop it.

“You look perfect Hermione”

She spun round on her barstool, looked up into Severus's dark eyes and smiled warmly “Why thank you kind sir, would you like a drink or are you ready to order now?”

“Actually I was hoping you wouldn't mind if we reconvened to the Three Broomsticks as unfortunately Minerva has demanded that I'm on call tonight regardless of whether I have previous engagements or not, I took the luxury of booking her private room so that we wouldn't be interrupted” he brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed her knuckles, his tongue flicking against her soft skin.

He smugly registered the flicker of lust in her eyes as she slid gracefully off the barstool, her body just millimetres away from his.

“That sounds delightful Severus” Hermione said unconsciously biting her bottom lip “Although I'm afraid you'll have to take me in a side along apparition as it's been far too long since I've been there”

Severus offered Hermione his elbow and led her to the apparition point taking delight in the way his arms felt wrapped around her, he quickly whisked her away.

After enjoying a pleasant meal filled with talking and laughter they went through to the bar for drinks, on his way back from the toilet Severus stopped at Rosmerta's Jukebox, deposited a few coins and pressed the buttons for his selections before walking back over to Hermione and held his hand out for her.

“Would you care to dance” he asked as the opening bars to Ask me by Elvis Presley began playing.

Hermione allowed herself to be pulled up from her chair and into his arms, she listened to the words of the song. He held her close as they swayed together on the small dance floor.

“Ask me if I wanted to caress you

And I'll confess

Ask me if I'm longing to possess you

I'll answer yes”

Severus lowered his head till his mouth was close to her ear “I chose this song because it sums up how I feel about you Hermione”

Hermione's heart started racing and she opened her mouth to reply, when placed a finger over her lips.

“I don't expect you to say anything now, I just wanted you to know how I felt” He removed his finger from her lips, replaced it with his mouth and kissed her deeply.

They were interrupted by the Minerva's soft Scottish brogue coming from her cat patronus

“Severus I'm terribly sorry to interrupt however an incident has occurred between two of your fifth year Slytherins, I require your presence back at school immediately”

“Blast that infernal woman” he ranted in his head “I apologise Hermione as you can see there's no rest for the wicked”

“It's fine, I've got to be getting back to the club anyway as there's still a lot of last minute checks before tomorrow's big night, you will be there won't you?” she asked just a touch nervously.

“Severus smiled at her “I wouldn't dare miss your big night, besides Lucius had already threatened to drag me there” as they walked to the apparition point a thought occurred to him “Do you need me to apparate you back to Diagon Alley?”

“No it's okay, I didn't really need your help getting here I just wanted to feel your arms wrapped round me” she winked and blew him a kiss before disappearing with a soft pop.

Severus chuckled to himself at her rather Slytherin tactic before making his way back to Hogwarts.

A/N: The song Ask me is sung by Elvis Presley and the lyrics are by Songwriters: Weisman;Wise and I would definitely recommend that you listen to the song on you tube because they don't write love songs like this any more.

I love romantic Severus he is such a doll, the next chapter sees the start of opening night and lots of fireworks. So reviewing and feeding my plot bunnies will get the chapter out quicker.

Her Royal Goddess enters her palace of love and call for her favourite slave.

Me: “Pet I left you in charge of finding out who my loyal readers would like to see perform next, What did you find out?”

Severus: “You've had a lot of interesting demands from your readers Mistress”

Me: “Oh?”

Severus hands Her Royal Goddess a list with names on.

Me: “You're very popular pet”

Severus: “As always it is my honour to serve you, however may I make a small suggestion”

Me: “You may”

Severus: “I think that maybe we should offer more exotic entertainment to your readers”

Me: “You maybe right, good thinking my pet you will be amply rewarded for this brilliant suggestion”

Okay lovely readers your choices for entertainment is either Hagrid, The Twins, Kingsley or Flitwick, tell me who you want and which song you'd like to see them undress to.

As always much love to you all

Her Royal Goddess Xx
