Ten Years- Part 9

The summer seemed to fly by for both Hermione and Severus. The weekend before school started Hermione went by to see Severus. On Monday she would be leaving for the start of her world tour about the potion. As she entered the school, she came face to face with the ghost of Albus Dumbledore.

“Hermione! How nice to see you.” Albus greeted.

“Hello Albus. Have you seen Severus?” Hermione said.

“Yes, he’s in his office. I don’t believe he’s set up a password yet.” Albus answered.

“Thank you.” Hermione replied.

Hermione made her way toward the Headmaster’s office. She walked up the staircase and knocked on the door. After hearing Severus call for her to enter, she slowly walked in. She smiled as she saw him sitting behind the desk writing quickly on a piece of parchment.

“Hello Severus.” she said.

Severus looked up and smiled. He put the quill down, got his feet and walked toward her. Gently he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. It had been nearly a month since they had last seen each other.

“Hello Hermione. I’m so glad to see you.” he said.

“Same here. I figured, I would spend my last free weekend with you. I’ll be leaving Sunday night and returning to Rome. I head off for Paris first thing Monday.” she replied.

“Then let’s not waist a single moment.” he said as he swept her into his arms and carried her to his bedroom.

It was dinner when they finally emerged from his office. They sat with the faculty and had a wonderful dinner. The other professors were happy for all of Hermione’s success and that she and Severus had finally found one another.

“I bet you’re excited about this Hermione.” Filius Flitwick said with a smile.

“I am. The only downside is that Severus and I won’t get to spend as much time together as I would like.” Hermione said.

Just then a group of owls flew in delivering the Evening Prophet. Everyone took their copy and begin flipping through. Suddenly Remus spit his wine out. Everyone stared at him with curious expressions.

“I don’t believe this!” Remus exclaimed.

“What is it man?” Severus asked.

“Listen to this. Famous Harry Potter and his wife divorced. Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived and seeker for Britain’s Quidditch team announced this morning that he and his wife of five years, Kelly Thompson, have officially divorced. This is the first time in nearly thirty years that a Wizarding couple has filed and been granted a divorce.

“When asked why, Potter had this to say, ‘After five years of marriage, Kelly and I agreed that things just weren’t meant to be. I was gone all the time and she was often left alone. It finally became too much for the both of us. We decided it would be best if we parted ways now, while we were still friends.’ Potter and the Quidditch team had won the World Cup just three days ago. The Wizarding community wishes the best of luck to Mr. Harry Potter in the future.” Remus read out loud.

“Something about that doesn’t seem right.” Hermione said.

“What do you mean?” Vanessa Sinstra asked.

“I know Harry. Even though all of this fame has gone to his head, it’s not like him to just up and divorce a woman. Even if it was that witch.” Hermione answered.

“I agree with Hermione. Something is strange about this.” Remus said.

“Well, it’s not our business. Potter has made a choice. He’s an adult now. He has to deal with his choices.” Severus said.

“Severus is right. There’s nothing we can do about it.” Pomona Sprout added.

Dinner continued. After dinner, Severus and Hermione went for a walk around the lake. They stopped and sat on the pier staring out over the water. Hermione let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong Hermione?” Severus asked.

“Just thinking about that day.” Hermione answered sadly.

“I see. It was hard on everyone. Especially you and your friends.” Severus said gently.

*Begin Flashback- 10 Years Earlier*

Severus and Hermione were still standing guard over the Great Hall. The sounds of the battle echoing throughout the castle. Neither one knowing what was happening. Both praying the light would win. Just then Remus came running up.

“Severus! Hermione! Albus wants you outside now! He’s asked me to take over.” Remus gasped.

Severus and Hermione wasted no time. They took off running for the grounds. As they ran, they saw bodies of the Death Eaters littered all around them. They quickly spotted Albus standing with Ron, Harry and Draco. The two ran full speed toward them. Just before they reached them, Lucius yelled the killing curse. It hit Albus square in the back.

“NOOOO!!!!!!! AVADA KEDAVRA!” Hermione screamed.

Lucius hit the ground dead. Hermione rushed to Albus’s side. Severus knelt there, holding the body of his mentor, tears falling unnoticed down his cheeks. Ron and Draco were in shock and Harry was livid.

“VOLDEMORT!” Harry screamed.

Everything seemed to freeze. Voldemort turned and faced Harry, Ron, Draco, Hermione and Severus. An evil smile was on his face.

“Well, well. It seems Potter is all alone.” Voldemort laughed.

“He’s not alone.” Severus said as he got to his feet.

Hermione, Severus, Draco and Ron stood beside Harry. All five of them had their wands out and pointed at Voldemort. Voldemort too raised his wand. Before Voldemort could blink, the five of them together yelled the killing curse. The five spells hit Voldemort. In an instant, Voldemort exploded. The war was over. Voldemort was gone for good.

*End Flashback*

“That was probably the worst day of my life.” Hermione said sadly.

“I know. Potter still blames me for not being able to save Albus. I know he wishes that it had been me that died.” Severus said.

“Oh Severus. I’m glad you lived. If you had died, so would I. I wouldn’t have been able to go on if you died.” she said as she placed her arm around his shoulder.

Severus and Hermione sat there just holding one another. Two hours later they returned to his chambers. That night they slept. Just holding each other closely and tightly. Both grateful they had survived.

The next day, Hermione and Severus spent visiting with the other professors as Severus made sure they had everything they needed. The last professor to visit was Remus. They found him sitting at his desk, his record player playing a Mozart record softly as he read Shakespeare.

“Oh, Severus, Hermione. I’m sorry. I was just caught up in this play.” Remus said as he finally noticed them.

“Which play?” Severus asked.

“A Midsummer’s Night Dream.” Remus answered.

“That’s one of my favorites.” Hermione said.

“We just stopped by to make sure you had everything you need for your classes.” Severus said.

“Oh yes. Would you two like to join me for tea?” Remus asked.

“We’d love too.” Severus answered.

The three headed for Remus’s chambers. Sunlight poured in trough the large open windows. Remus quickly made and poured them each a cup of tea. Once seated he spoke.

“I received an owl from Sirius last night.” Remus said.

“Oh? What does the old mongrel have to say?” Severus said jokingly.

Severus and Sirius Black had finally managed to set aside their differences and were kind of friends now. After the death of Albus, the two wizards decided to at least try and put their past behind them.

“Well, he says that Harry stopped by a few days ago. Here, read the letter. It might be easier that way.” Remus said as he reached into his robes and pulled out the letter and handed it to Severus and Hermione.

Dear Remus,
Harry stopped by a few days ago. I could tell something was wrong, but didn’t give it much thought. Not until the other night. I began hearing him mumbling to himself. I can’t really make out everything he says though. I did make out Snape…Hermione…revenge.
I think you should warn Hermione and Severus. I saw the article in the Prophet last night. I don’t think Harry is completely stable right now. I could just be overreacting, but I’m not taking any chances. Also, tell Severus congratulations on becoming Headmaster. Talk to you soon.

Sirius

Severus and Hermione handed the letter back to Remus. They were a little surprised at what they had just read.

“What do you think about this Remus?” Severus asked.

“I don’t know. Sirius wouldn’t have written about this if it wasn’t true. You two know he loves Harry like a son. If he’s truly worried about Harry then I think you two should watch your backs. We all know how Harry can be when he uses his magic to it’s full potential.” Remus answered.

Hermione and Severus stayed and chatted with Remus for a while longer before they returned to Severus’s rooms. Once there they sat on the sofa and just relaxed. Forgetting about Harry, the other professors in the castle. Forgetting about everything but each other.

They decided to have dinner in Severus’s rooms. Trying to enjoy the last few hours they had left together. After dinner they sat by the fireplace and talked about their future together.

“I’m going to miss you Hermione. This is going to be so hard to do.” Severus said.

“I know. Listen, we love each other right? We can make this work. I promise.” Hermione said.

Severus gathered her into his arms and kissed her. They quickly lost themselves in the kiss. He rolled over so that she lay there beneath him. Hermione wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders. Loving the feel of him on top of her. Hermione used wandless magic and their clothes vanished and reappeared folded on the sofa.

“Anxious?” Severus asked.

“Yes. Now shut up Severus.” Hermione hissed.

Hermione slammed her lips against his and rolled them over. Hermione began to rock her hips against his slowly hardening dick. Both began to moan and sigh as their bodies began to heat up with love and passion.

“Hermione. Mmmm, you feel so good.” he sighed.

“So do you. Ohhhh. Now Severus. I want your hard dick in me now.” Hermione ordered.

Severus wasted no time. He rolled them over once more and slammed his hard cock deep inside her. Both gasped as they came together. Severus began thrusting in and out. Hard, but slow strokes. Hermione was on cloud nine.

“Severus. Your cock feels so good. More.” she moaned.

“Gladly. On your knees. Now.” he hissed.

Hermione moved to her hands and knees. Severus grabbed her hips and once more thrust hard and deep inside her. Hermione screamed out her pleasure. As he thrust foreword, she thrust back. Both moaning and sighing as their movements became rougher. Severus got them to their feet, withdrew from her and spun her around.

“Tell me what you want Hermione? Tell me.” Severus demanded as he tangled his hand in her hair and pulled her head back

“Fuck me Severus. Fuck me good and hard.” Hermione hissed.

Severus grabbed her and hoisted her up into his arms. Hermione wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his waist. He still kept his hand tangled in her hair. He then slammed them against the wall. He then thrust hard and deep into once more.

“Yes! Just like that! More! Oh god!” Hermione cried.

“That’s it! Oh yes. You like that don’t you? Tell me!” Severus hissed as he bit her shoulder.

“Yes! Oh I love this! Fuck me Severus! Yes! So hard! So deep!” Hermione moaned.

Severus began thrusting harder and faster. Pinning her against the wall. Hermione knew she would be sore and probably bruised in the morning, but of well. She was enjoying every moment.

“Severus!” Hermione cried as she grabbed his hair and pulled.

“Oh Hermione! Yes! Come on my cock! Now! Ohhhh! Come for me Hermione! Come now!” Severus cried.

“Yes! Severus! Oh Severus! Aaaaaahhhhh!” Hermione screamed.

“Ugggghhhh!” Severus yelled.

They slid down the wall to the floor grasping each other as their bodies still twitched in the aftermath of their climaxes. They didn’t move for a good five minutes. When they were able to move again, they slowly made their way to the bathroom for a nice shower. After their shower they climbed into bed.

Severus woke up as the sunlight poured into his bedroom. He rolled over to hug Hermione and he found her gone. He sat up and where she was when they fell asleep there was a letter written to him. He picked it up and read it.

Dearest Severus,
I’m sorry for leaving like this. I knew if I waited until tonight, I would not be able to leave you. Please forgive me. Once I reach Paris, I will send an owl to et you know I arrived safely. I will write to you as often as I can, floo when I can and visit when I get the chance.
I love you. I will use the memory of last night to sustain me till we can see each other again. I love you so much and will miss you more than anything. Tell everyone good bye for me and that I will write to Remus soon.

Love always,

Hermione

Severus sadly read the letter. He understood why she left this way. Because he knew if she had waited he would not have let her leave. He read the letter a few more times before he decided to get up and start a new day.
