Living Chapter 9
Harry, Ron and Ginny looked worried the second they saw Hermione. She had seen this look from her friends many times before, especially since the war had ended. As she came into the Great Hall for lunch she quietly sat down. Her eyes did not stray towards them or up at the teacher's table. Professor Snape was coming into the Great Hall the same time as Hermione. She tried very hard to not even glance his way. She had a secret now and had to keep it that way. She didn't always like to keep things from her friends, but she had done it before. For one thing, Ron and Harry would be distraught if they knew that she and Snape were involved in any way. Ginny, the always-optimistic romantic, would be pleased to know that there was something there between the two of them.
Hermione slowly ate her lunch, trying to still her shaking hands as she picked up her glass of pumpkin juice. It would do no good to try and explain anything here to any of her friends. She did notice that Snape was also quietly eating his dinner. When were they going to meet next? She wished that they had been given more time to discuss what was happening between them. Professor Flitwick turned towards Professor Snape and was discussing something with him. Snape looked very distracted as he sat there taking a quick peak down at the table. Hermione caught his eye and grinned at him and Snape gave a quick shake of his head signally her to stop. Flitwick looked down at the Gryffindor table to see where Professor Snape's attention had wandered off to. Snape looked back at Flitwick hoping that he hadn't noticed Hermione's interest in him.
Hermione was busy eating when Ron piped up loudly, "Bloody Hell Hermione! What is that thing on your neck? It looks like a love bite." Everyone at the table turned to look at Hermione. She reached up and slapped her hand on her neck.
"It's nothing Ron, just a bug bite."
"That must have been one big bug Hermione." Neville was blushing, as her looked at Hermione, who was still holding onto her neck for dear life.
Ginny was grinning from ear to ear. She was the one who really knew what was going on with Hermione and her "problem" with Professor Snape. Looking up at the head table she saw Professor Snape looking down at her. His characteristic cocked eyebrow was raised as he held back a grin. Hermione wanted to go up and slap the almost grin off of his face. If she had realized what he had done, she would have put a glamour on to cover the offending bite mark. She decided to quickly eat so she could leave the Great Hall. She stood, with her head held high, and marched out the door.
She would be having a chat with her Professor about discretion. After all, he was the teacher and she was the student. He should have known better.
Later in the day, Hermione sat alone in the library. She was trying to think of a way that she and Severus could communicate secretly. Using owl mail was not going to work for them if they were going to have a relationship. Hermione had been looking through many spell books to find a solution. She wished that she could use her method of using a charmed galleon, but those who had been in the DA would recognize it for what it was. It needed to be something that wasn't so obvious that others would ask what it was. What was something that both of them had around them every day? Hermione's hands reached up to finger the locket her parents had given her on her last birthday. In some ways, it had become her worry stone. Whenever she needed to solve a problem, she would rub her locket in her fingers and it helped her focus on the problem at hand. She looked down at the locket and smiled at the easy solution before her. She would charm the locket for her, but would have to think of something for Severus. Hermione tried to remember what he wore every day. Of course his black trousers, vest, suit coat and robes were not helpful. Maybe a pair of cufflinks? There had to be something else that would work. She thought back to earlier when they had been out by the lake. As they had been hiding in the tall grass, Severus had held her hands in his and on his right hand, he had worn a ring. She hadn't noticed it before during class, so maybe he didn't wear it at all times. This was proving to be a bigger problem than she had hoped for. Taking out a clean piece of paper she started to pen a note to Severus.
"Will you please meet me at 7:00 p.m. where we met up before? I must speak about something important to us.
Sincerely, You Know Who"
Hermione stuffed her things into her bag and started making her way up to the owlery. It would have been easier to borrow Ron's owl, but he would have wanted to know to whom she was sending a note. As she made the trek to the owlery, she contemplated what had happened today. Was this all really worth it? Being sneaky had not always been her favorite thing to do until her fifth year when Umbridge had been terrorizing Hogwarts. Yes, of course this was all worth it with Severus Snape as the grand prize. It was time to think about herself and not always taking care of her friends. For so many years it was worrying about Harry, Ron and the Order that had consumed her thoughts. Looking for the Horcruxes had been the breaking point for her. She needed to finally realize that it was her time to live and be happy.
Finding a large white owl, she slipped the note onto its leg. There was a tinge of sadness as she thought how much this owl looked like Hedwig, Harry's old owl. It had been so hard for Harry to lose his familiar. It had happened the night the Order had been moving him to safety, away from the Dursleys. She petted the owl, "Thank you and wait for a response." Hermione stood watching as the owl flew gracefully through the sky.
Professor Snape sat in the Headmistress's office as she warbled on about the many problems that were already beseeching Hogwarts, and the new school year had just begun. Trying to feign interest, his mind wandered to Hermione. Speaking of problems, his was in the form of a beautiful nineteen-year-old girl whom he couldn't resist. Hermione had said that she would think of some way that would make meeting and sending messages easier. For their sakes, and their budding relationship, they had to come up with a plan. Minerva would have a fit if she knew what he wanted to do to her golden head girl. A picture of Hermione stripped naked and bound to his bed made Severus squirm in his seat. Lost in his daydream he didn't notice the white owl that flew in and landed on Minerva's desk.
"Severus, it appears as if you have a message." She said in her distinctive Scottish brogue.
Severus looked up to see the large, white owl sticking it's leg out to him. He tried to take the note without his hands shaking. He had a feeling who the note was from. He could not let Minerva read the contents of the note or give away that the note was of great importance to him. He leaned back in his seat and unrolled the note.
"Will you please meet me at 7:00 p.m. where we met up before? I must speak about something important to us.
Sincerely, You Know Who"
Severus quickly shoved the note into the pocket of his outer robe. He clasped his hands together and looked at the floor.
"Bad news Severus?" Minerva looked at him bordering on the edge of nosiness.
"No, it was nothing Minerva." Severus tried pulling himself together to befit the demeanor of a former spy. "I must be off to supervise detention of bungling students." He jumped up and almost ran out of the door.
"I don't know what you are up to Severus Snape, but it better have nothing to do with dark magic or wanton women." Minerva spoke to herself while putting her glasses on.
She turned to the white owl that was still sitting on her desk. "I will be keeping my eye on that one. He always seems to find a way to get himself into trouble." The owl hooting in return, turned and flew away out the window.
"I think I am done. I am heading back to my room." Hermione rose and grabbed her bag.
"You're leaving before dessert?" said Ron with a mouthful of chocolate pudding. "You never leave before you've had something sweet."
"I'm not in the mood tonight." Hermione noticed the way that Harry and Ron looked at one another. Harry looked suspicious and Ron just looked confused.
Hermione left the Great Hall and started toward Gryffindor Tower. She didn't get far before she was pulled into a deserted classroom. Whipping her wand out she aimed it at her attacker.
"I don't know what you are…" lips closed over hers and a strong arm pushed her up against the wall. They tasted familiar as they pressed harder onto hers. The large hands soon wandered up her sides to grasp onto her breasts, massaging them.
"I thought that you needed something to distract you from your dunderhead friends in The Great Hall that are consuming more food than they should."
Severus's hands smoothed again down her sides and went under her jumper. His fingertips found her sensitive nipples and circled them over and over again. A loud moan came from her and Severus quieted her with his mouth over hers.
"You need to not let your passion give us away." He said as he nibbled at her lips. His tongue slowly licked along her mouth before he pushed in and deepened his kiss. He lifted her up placing her thighs around his waist. He pressed her back into the wall while grinding himself into her. "Gods, do you know how much I want you?" his deep voice whispered into her ear sending shivers down her spine.
"I can feel how much you want me, you don't need to tell me." Hermione could feel Severus getting harder and harder as he held her tightly to him. His fingers lightly brushed along her neck and his lips followed.
"Don't you want to hear what I figured out?" Hermione tried to get his attention but to no avail.
"Bloody Hell woman! I do not care a damn what you figured out. All I care about is devouring you right now in every way possible!" His words were not sharp, and came out more as a desperate plea. His hands were now running up her thighs heading for her core. His fingers brushed over her lacy knickers feeling the wetness seeping out of her. Severus's long fingers slipped underneath the lace and rubbed along the fine hairs covering her sex. They nimbly found her slit and circled her clit with the copious juices spilling out of her. The moans escaping Hermione's voice only added fuel to the fires bringing his cock to life.
"Hermione? Hermione?" the voice calling Hermione's name was drawing closer. She jumped out of Severus's arms.
"Damnation! Who is that?" Snape curled his lip and looked like he wanted to hex whoever was interrupting their tryst.
Hermione tried to straighten her clothes and smooth down her hair. Hermione went to the door and swung it open peeking out down the hall. Ginny Weasley came bounding up to her. "I wondered where you were, we have all been looking for you. You have been acting very strange today."
Ginny pushed her way into the room and came to a stop when she saw Professor Snape standing there, leaning against the wall, arms crossed.
Ginny smiled, "Oh, I understand now; no explanations are needed." Ginny kept leering at her Professor and Hermione.
Leaving the wall, Snape came to stand next to the young women, "What do mean by that Miss Weasley?" He tried not to give away how nervous he was by Ginny's line of questioning. "Hermione, what is she going on about?"
Hermione nervously fidgeted with her skirt, not wanting to meet the eyes of her potential lover. "She knows…about…"
"She knows about what?" Snape screamed, making both Hermione and Ginny jump. "I want an explanation and I want it now!" He made both of them feel like they were firsties again.
Ginny looked at Hermione with wide eyes. She tried to speak, but then shut her mouth quickly when she looked at Hermione who was shaking her head "No".
"Severus…" Hermione went and placed her hand on his arm. "Ginny knows about us and how I have been attracted to you for a long time." Severus stared coldly at Hermione, lips pursed, but still listening.
The silence hung in the air like fog on a winter day. Snape was thinking hard about how to react to this revelation. His first thought was to obliviate Miss Weasley and Hermione then slink back to the dungeons. His second thought was to just obliviate Miss Weasley, and then to chastise Hermione. His third thought, was to make Ginny Weasley take a wand oath, and never to discuss any of this with anyone else. His third thought won out in the end.
"Ladies, please take a seat so we can discuss our current dilemma." Both Hermione and Ginny hurried to sit down not taking their eyes off of their professor. "No one else can know of Hermione and I being…involved."
Ginny piped up, "I don't see what the problem is. After all, Hermione is of age. "
Severus rolled his eyes at her ignorance, which didn't surprise him from a Weasley.
"She may be of age Miss Weasley, but she is still my student and I am still her teacher."
"Ginny, this has to stay a secret so Professor Snape doesn't lose his job." Hermione was close to tears. This had been one of her greatest fears of people finding out about her and Severus.
Severus looked at Hermione and noticed how upset she was becoming. He didn't like having to deal with a tearful witch, even if it was his witch. Severus really liked the sound of that, his witch. He went to stand behind Hermione and placed his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them softly. Hermione leaned back into his touch, closing her eyes, and loving the feel of his strong fingers massaging out her worries.
Ginny's eyes showed her surprise at her Professor's actions. She had never, ever, seen him display any type of gentleness towards someone. This showed her, that he truly was into Hermione as much as she was into him. There was a seriousness between the two of them, saying that this was real.
"I need something from you Miss Weasley." Snape stopped his ministrations and pulled up a chair to sit in front of both girls. "I need you to take a wand oath with Hermione that you will never tell anyone about my involvement with Miss Granger." His black eyes bore into both girls as they sat in stillness. Neither one of them daring to look at the other.
Severus pulled out his wand and held it in front of Hermione and Ginny. Ginny looked at the wand, then she stood holding out her arm to Hermione. Then Hermione extended her arm out and clasped Ginny's arm. "Miss Weasley, are you sure that you are ready to make The Unbreakable Vow? This is not something to take lightly."
Ginny was hesitant for only a few seconds, and then taking a deep breath she answered, "Yes, Professor Snape, I'm ready."
"I will be your bonder," Severus said, "Please kneel and keep your hands clasped." He stood over them placing the tip of his wand on their linked hands.
Hermione spoke first, "Will you Ginny Weasley, promise to not speak to another living soul about my relationship with Severus Snape?"
"I will" said Ginny.
A string of flame came out of Snape's wand and wound around the hands of the two friends.
"And will you, to the best of your ability, do what is needed, to help keep my growing relationship with Severus a secret from all others, especially here at Hogwarts?"
"I will," said Ginny.
A second cord of flame shot from the wand, interlinking with the first, to make a glowing chain.
"Lastly, will you be a messenger between Severus and me, possibly putting yourself in trouble with Headmistress McGonagall, in order to keep this relationship clandestine?" Hermione said each word slowly and distinct.
"I will," Ginny answered for the last time.
The third wisp of flame shot from the wand, twisted with the others, and bound itself solidly around their clasped hands like a cord. Snape lifted his wand and secured it away.
Hermione and Ginny dropped their arms. They smiled, and threw their arms around each other hugging.
"Thank you so much Ginny. " Hermione wiped the tears that were sliding down her face. "I love you for taking this risk for us."
Ginny could also feel tears running down her face, "You are welcome. You know that I would do anything so you can be happy."
Snape stepped forward and squeezed her arm in thanks. Ginny jumped into Professor Snape's arms, almost knocking him over. Hermione just laughed at the look of astonishment on his face.
"You are welcome. " Snape set her down, red-cheeked, and turned to enclose Hermione in his arms. He reached up to smooth his hand down Hermione's face, ending by her lips. He leaned in to kiss her, pressing deeply, and not stopping until he got his fill.
Ginny screamed and clapped her hands, jumping up and down. "I just love romance. I will leave the two of you alone." Ginny waved and left the classroom, making sure to shut the classroom door.
"Well, we have found our way to send each other messages. Now we are on to our next dilemma, where are we going to safely meet? Then we need to think about…"
Hermione spoke so fast, Severus didn't have a chance to speak, so he did the only thing he knew would shut her up, he kissed her, again and again and again.
That's it for now. Please review and let me know what you thought about this.
