Fighting For True Love

Chapter 9- Love Rekindled

Hermione stared into the sitting room. The room was covered in dozens of candles and dozens of roses, lilies, and gardenias. On his desk was a box. Hermione turned to look at Severus.

“Open it Hermione.” Severus whispered.

Hermione walked over to the box. She took a deep breath then opened the box. Inside was a wooden box. With trembling hands she removed it. Slowly she opened it. Inside lie a set of wedding bands. They were silver. One was incrusted with rubies and its twin was incrusted with emeralds. Hermione turned her tear filled eyes toward the love of her life.

“I had these made right before we left for Rome. Yours is the one with emeralds, mine is the one with rubies. Hermione, I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you and our friends. I want you to become my wife more than anything. Now, read the inscription on your ring.” Severus said.

Hermione took the ring in her hand. It read:

Hermia, my love, my life and my salvation. I love you. Forever and always. Severus.

“Oh Severus.” Hermione whispered as she hugged him tightly.

Severus held her tightly to him. He loved this woman more than his own life. He would die to save her. He reached down and raised her face toward his. Slowly he kissed her. Hermione melted into his arms. She wanted to feel him against her. To hold her. To love her.

“Severus, make love to me. I want to feel you. I want you to let me know everything will be alright.” Hermione whispered.

Severus didn’t say anything. He simply gathered her into his arms, walked to the bedroom, locked and silenced the door and then placed her on the bed. He used his wand to remove their clothes. He leaned over her and kissed her once more. This kiss wasn’t gentle. It was filled with a hunger for each other. Filled with a fire that was inextinguishable. Hermione threaded her fingers in his ebony hair. Severus moaned into the kiss.

His lips trailed a path down her neck. Hermione sighed. Oh how she had missed this. His left hand began to massage her breast, while his lips moved to capture her right areola in his mouth.

“Oh Severus.” Hermione sighed as she arched into his touch.

Severus switched breasts. His right hand slid down her body. As it slid over her growing belly he paused. He left his hand there for a moment, feeling their child move within her. His heart swelled at the feel of his child growing inside her. He slowly moved his hand down further. He stopped it just as he reached her brown curls that hid her center.

“Please Severus. Don’t stop now.” Hermione pleaded.

“As you wish.” Severus whispered.

He kissed her hard and passionately as he slid a finger deep into her. Hermione moaned from the back of her throat. Her body was quickly being engulfed in the flames that only he could start.

“Hermia, you are so tight.” Severus whispered.

“Severus.” Hermione sighed.

Severus smiled as he added a second finger. Hermione’s body arched at the sensation. Hermione reached down and took hold of his hardening member. Severus sighed in pleasure as her tiny hands began to stroke him.

“Hermione. I love you. I love you so much.” Severus whispered as he pumped his fingers in and out of her.

“Oh Severus. And I love you. Oh that…feels so…good.” Hermione moaned.

She tightened her grip on him. Severus began pumping harder and faster. Within minutes she was coming around his fingers. She let out a cry of pure passion.

“Now. Oh I want to feel you in my now. Please.” Hermione begged.

Severus withdrew his fingers and moved over her. Her belly was getting larger but it wasn’t too large just yet. He slowly entered her. Inch by inch he slid in. Finally he was buried to the hilt in her. Both moaned as they became one. Severus leaned down and kissed her. Hermione arched her hips toward his. Severus groaned. He began to move in her. She was so tight around him. It was pure heaven.

“Gods above Hermione. You feel so good.” He moaned.

“Merlin’s beard. You’re so hard. I want you deeper. Oh gods…yes.” She cried as he pushed in as deep as he could.

“Roll on to your side my love.” Severus whispered as he pulled out of her.

Hermione did as he said. Severus spooned in behind her. He rubbed the tip of his penis against her wet clit. Hermione threw her head back against his shoulder and moaned in pleasure. Severus then thrust in hard and deep.

“Severus!” Hermione cried.

Severus began to pump in and out. His hands moved to cup her breasts. Hermione was on cloud 9.

“Severus…oh Severus…don’t stop. You feel…so…good.” Hermione cried.

“So do…you. Hermione…my…love. I love…you. Oh gods…you’re…a…goddess. A goddess Hermia.” Severus growled.

“I’m gonna…gonna…SEVERUS!” Hermione cried as she came around his hard throbbing member.

“One more my darling. I’ll come…with you.” Severus gasped as he began to move harder and faster.

Hermione was bucking back against him. Just when she thought she couldn’t come a third time, Severus shifted his angle.

“OOOOHHHH!” Hermione cried.

“Hermione…I’m so close.” Severus moaned into her ear.

Hermione couldn’t answer. She was so lost in the feelings of having her lover buried in her once more.

“HERMIONE! OH HERMIONE!” Severus yelled as he spilled his seed deep inside her.

“SEVERUS! OH GODS!” Hermione screamed as her body went rigid with her orgasm.

Both lay there gasping for air. Severus slowly slid from her. Hermione somehow managed to move into his arms as he rolled onto his back. They remained that way for an hour. Just holding each other.

“I’ve missed you. I thought we had lost you.” Hermione said.

“I know. When I returned I knew something was wrong. I couldn’t remember things. I didn’t know what was wrong. It wasn’t until that first memory flash that I knew things weren’t adding up. I swear Hermione, I will make it up to you. And to our friends.” Severus promised.

Hermione snuggled deeper into his arms. Within minutes she was asleep. Severus looked down at her. He held her tight. His left hand rest over her stomach. He felt the child within kick against his hand.

“I promise you, you will never want for anything. Never. I will always love you and protect you. I swear I will.” Severus whispered to his and Hermione’s child.

He too was soon sound asleep.

“Hey, where’s Mione?” Ron asked as he, Draco, Ginny and Harry entered the Great Hall for dinner.

“I don’t know. I know she had an appointment with Poppy this afternoon.” Draco answered.

Harry looked around. His eyes fell on the staff table. Everyone was there, except Severus.

“Hey guys, look. Severus isn’t here. He’s always at dinner.” Harry said.

The other three looked up at the table. Sure enough the potions master was gone.

“Do you think he’s remembered? Maybe he’s with Hermione.” Ginny said.

The others shrugged their shoulders. They ate their dinner. After they finished they headed back to Gryffindor Tower. As they reached the stairs Minerva stopped them.

“Albus wishes to see you four. Follow me please.” she said.

The four followed Minerva to Albus’s office. After they were seated Albus spoke.

“I have good news. Severus has regained his memories. It appears that Lucius used some old magic to block Severus’s memories of him and Hermione. She is with him now. Once he remembered everything he broke down. He couldn’t believe the way he had treated Hermione and you. He will need your help. He has been through a rough couple of months.” Albus said.

“Of course we’ll help him. He couldn’t help what happened to him. It’s not his fault.” Ron said.

“Ron’s right. The only person to blame is that fucking bastard Voldemort.” Harry snarled.

Harry was angry that Voldemort had stripped Severus of his memories. He was beyond relieved that Severus had been given his memories back.

“Yes, you are right. Now, the four of you head back to your rooms. And Draco, I believe Hermione will be staying with Severus till Sunday night. So don’t wait up for her.” Albus said.

“Yes sir. Good night.” Draco said.

The four left the office. Minerva stepped up beside Albus and placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Albus, what is going to happen when Voldemort realizes Severus has his memories back?” Minerva asked.

“I don’t know my dear. I just don’t know.” Albus answered.

Back in the dungeons Severus and Hermione were sitting in his sitting room before a roaring fire.

“Hermione, the next time Voldemort calls me I’m not going.” Severus said.

“What? Severus, if you don’t go he’ll know you are a spy.” Hermione said.

“And if I do go he’ll kill me. It’s over. Besides, we have another spy within the inner circle. I can’t tell you who. It would be too dangerous if I did.” Severus said.

Hermione sighed.

“Have you told this to Albus?” Hermione asked.

“No. I will tell him tomorrow.” Severus answered.

Hermione rested her head on his chest. She was scared. Scared about what would happen when Voldemort realizes that Severus was back and that he was a spy. She shivered at the thought.

“Hey, let’s get some sleep. Don’t worry about a thing. I will not leave you and our child. Everything will be fine.” Severus said.

They made their way to the bedroom. They stripped off their clothes and climbed under the covers. Severus held her close and tight. Once he was sure she was asleep he sighed.

‘I’m scared too Hermia. I don’t know what will happen. I promise nothing will happen to you. I will protect you. Even if it means my own life. I love you and always will. No matter what happens. I will always love you and our child.’ Severus thought as he softly began to rub her belly.

He slowly drifted off to sleep. His dreams were filled of images of him and Hermione watching their children play. Of the two of them growing old together.
