Chapter 11: Early Dismissal
************~*~************


The next morning found Lissa snuggled in Severus\'s arms as he held her possessively. She thought about the night before and all that had occurred. So much had happened in so short a time! She and Severus had been talking fndernder a month and he decided that he wanted to marry her. She prayed to every god and goddess that might be listening that he would not regret that decision.

She moved a bit needing to go the restroom and his hold tightened briefly before letting her go as he turned on his back. She went to do her business and took a brief shower while she was in there. She stepped out and glanced in the mirror, the white gold collar gleamed there in the ligHis.His. His wife. His possession. She smiled as she lightly touched the collar. Most would never understand. Their loss, she retrieved a brush and brushed out her hair as she thought. He did *have* to marry her. He knew this. Didn\'t he? She looked at her left palm that held the cut still. The pain had turned erotic when he licked and sucked at the wound. A free spirit. Huh? Yes, she supposed she was. She also suspected she was a bit of a freak as many of her friends would term it.

It would do him and his ego a lot of good for him to have something that was not shared. She would be his alone...he needed that and she had no desire to look elsewhere. She went back into the bedroom still naked and looked down at his sleeping form. He looked so peaceful, rested and happy. Ah...but not for long! She had tasted what he had to offer and was greedy for more. He really should not have aroused this beast in her. A feral smiled spread across her lips.

Quietly, gently with a great deal more patience than she thought she had, she tied him spread eagle to the posts of his bed using her stockings, scarves... whatever she had available and handy. She was afraid of tying the knots too tight and as a result hurting him...so she tried for snug. She crawled between his legs and nuzzled his cock with her nose at the same time drawing in the scent of them both that still lingered there.

Her left hand slipped beneath his right cheek caressing as she began licking lightly licking up the length of his shaft.

Severus was having a lovely dream. Soft hands fluttered over his skin and a wet little tongue licking him. He tried the reach down to cup himself and woke with a start. \'Why that little minx.\' He thought as she took the head of his cock in to her mouth. He couldn\'t stop the moan that escaped his lips or the bucking of his hips trying to bury himself into her mouth.

She was not about to let him have his way entirely yet. She backed away until his movements ceased. Watching him she almost purred when he stopped and looked down at her. Then she began again, fingers splayed over the muscles of his upper inner thighs, and her tongue licking it\'s way up his shaft again ever so slowly.

\"Melissa? What do you think you are doing?\" Severus ground out. He wanted so badly to have his hands on her, to flip her over on her back and to bury his cock into her little cunt. \"Untie me, witch.\"

Her hands were massaging his legs and buttocks as her mouth applied it\'s own magic to his sac taking first one side and then the other into her mouth very gently while managing to suck them much to his pleasure.

\"I don\'t think so Severus Snape. I have you right where I want you and you\'ll stay there till *I* set you free.\"

Severus pulled slightly at one of his wrists and smiled when he felt the bonds give a bit. He would let her have her fun for now but he would get his revenge later.

\"Yes my dear I suppose you do have me at your mercy. Be gentle.\" Hoping to Merlin in his greatness that she wouldn\'t.

She looked at him suspiciously. He was giving in too easily and she knew better than to trust him like this. Oh no, the boy definitely had something planned. Seems she was going to be punished for her impertinence. She smiled hoping that was the case.

She then took the swollen head of his cock into her mouth very gently teasing the tip with her tongue before suddenly plunging him down her throat to the hilt before drawing back up slowly sucking hard as she went while lightly raking her teeth over his sensitive skin. She may have been a virgin but she had been taught how to do *some* things.

Severus smiled and relaxed. Loving the feel of her mouth on him. He had dreamed of this for so long. Real life was so much better than his hand. He felt his balls tighten and a tingle began to fill his cock.

It was time he thought. He quickly ripped his wrists and ankles from the stockings and scarves, and was over her.

He entered her with a quick thrust finding her more than ready for him. He pinned her hands at the sides of her head. Severus felt her tightening around him as her eyes started to flutter shut, \"Look at me.\" He commanded softly. \"I want to watch you come for me.\"

Her eyes opened at his gentle command and locked with his. Her heart felt as though it was about to exe, oe, or fly away and she whimpered while biting her bottom lip.

“I have you where I want you and I am taking you. Do you like that? I think you do. I think you want to be the one bound in silken ropes having delicious things done to you and have no way to stop me from having my way with you.\" He whispered these things to her keeping their gazes locked.

Her breathing was ragged as he spoke her truest desires and needs. She knew all this to be true and hoped that she was what he wanted and needed in a lover. She felt so exposed and vulnerable that she again began to close her eyes to hide from him that which was in the deepest part of her. To acknowledge these things to herself was one thing, for him to speak them was another. She hadn\'t felt so vulnerable in all her life and it frightened her.

\"You won\'t hide from me. Open your eyes.\" He wanted to claim her again to possess her very soul. She was his mate, his lover, and his woman. \"Do you understand? You are mine. Body, heart, and soul, as you have mine. Say it. Say that you belong to me.\"

She opened her eyes locking gazes with him again as she whispered. \"All that I am and all that I have is yours... body, heart and soul. I belong to you Severus Snape. No regrets.\"

That was it. She committed her soul to him and had no second thoughts other than to wonder what was wrong with her that she had no qualms.

At her words his pace sped up holding back only until she joined him in pleasure as he emptied himself into her. He gathered her into his arms and held her tightly.

He glanced at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for lunch. \"Darling we should make at least an appearance at lunch today.

\"Forgive me, Severus. You set me free actually...it\'s just...\" She was unsure how to proceed.

\"You can tell me anything. You know that.\" Severus placed a kiss at her temple.

\"Am I...What...Do you think I\'m freaky or a pervert?\"

\"Darling,\" Severus chuckled, \"If anyone here is a freak or a pervert it is me. I am the one that runs around in dark robes and a mask scaring people.

\"I was simply told that people who act like I want to are.... well twisted. I don\'t *feel* twisted. I feel free with you... Are you sure I\'m not a pervert?\"

Severus pulled back a little and looked her in the eyes. \"Darling, you are not a pervert. Wanting roughness, bondage, is not sick or depraved when you share it with someone who desires it as well. With someone who loves you.\"

Lissa kissed him just as her stomach gave a loud growl. She drew back giggling. \"Thank you love and it seems as though lunch would be a good idea.\"

************~*~************

Ron sat between Harry and Hermione at their table in the Great Hall. \"Wonder if the bat will make a showing?\"

\"Good question.” Harry agreed. “He didn\'t show up for breakfast and I am curious about the woman that stepped through.\"

\"Yeah.... had to import a female for Snape cause the ones around here knew better.\"

\"Stop it you two!” Hissed Hermione. “We don\'t even know this female however.... I overheard Malfoy say she was a female version of Professor Snape.\"

\"Bloody Hell! That is what we helped bring through??\"

After a quick shower together and dressing Severus and Lissa walked hand in hand into the Great Hall. Severus had difficulty keeping his scowl on his face as the students began to stare and whisper. He knew what they were thinking.

\"The Greasy Git has gotten himself a woman. Oh, my lord.\"

\"Probably Imerio\'ed her.\"

He heard them all. And all he wanted to do was smile.

Lissa had no such impulse. She heard them as well and smiling was not on her list of things to do at the moment so gave a very chilling glare to one of the more obvious gossipmongers as they made their way to the teacher\'s table. It had not even occurred to her that they made a matching pair as both were dressed in black.

Albus and Minerva looked at each other lips twitching from withholding smiles as they turned again to watch the couple advance. Lissa looked very much like Severus glowering as she was. Severus however looked very pleased with himself.

\"Ah, here you are.\" Albus said magnanimously, then her turned to the students. \"Your attention please, it is my great pleasure to announce that our Potions Master has gotten married. May I present Melissa Snape.\" There was polite applause through the hall and a few cheers coming from the Slytherin table and surprisingly the Trio as well.

Lissa allowed a small smile as she bowed slightly to the assemblage mostly deferring to Severus.

\"Severus, Melissa, if you would be so kind as to meet with me after our meal. I believe that we have quite a lot to discuss.\"

\"Of \'course Albus. \" Severus said before holding Lissa\'s chair for her and finally seating himself.

The meal continued without incident although Draco sought his teacher\'s eyes for news on how last night had gone. Had she given in like so many others? Or did she surprise people?

Severus met Draco\'s questing eyes and winked. He knew the boy would seek him out sooner or later for the story.

Soon enough they were again passing into Dumbledore\'s office. Lissa was taking every opportunity she could to touch and brush against Severus that she found or could create.

Albus shook his head and cleared his throat. Severus was likely going to need some time to get used to her. The girl was absolutely giddy around him.

\"Yes, Albus?” Severus asked as innocently as he could.

Severus steepled handhands in front of him and began to rub one forefinger down the other.

Almost as if on cue Alistor Moody walked into the office. \"Ah Alistor! Welcome! Allow me to introduce you to Melissa Snape. Melissa.... Alistor.\"

A smile lit Melissa\'s face as she smiled at Moody and extended a hand and rose. \"I am most pleased to meet you Alistor Moody.\"

Moody\'s magicye wye was twisting and turning in its socket before fixing upon Lissa. \"So this is the girl?\" Moody said in a gruff voice.

\"Good day to you as well, Alistor.\" Severus said acidly not liking the way the Auror was acting. The Auror was usually short but today he was bordering on rude.

Moody ignored Severus and continued on as if he hadn\'t spoken, \"Well, let me see it.\" Moody fixed her with a stare.

\"See \'it\'? I\'m confused. What \'it\'?\" Her confusion was evident on her face as she tried to think about what he could be referring to. The journal? That was in her rooms with Severus’. Why would she carry it with her?

Moody stepped forward and grasped her wrist in his.

Severus shot to his feet. \"Moody, get your hands off my wife.\"

She did not resist understanding now what he meant. She rolled up her sleeve for him instead.

Moody\'s magical eye swung toward the potions\' Master. \"Snape sit down. Before I hex you there.\"

Severus returned to his seat with a snort and glowered at the man who dared put his hands on Lissa.

\"It\'s alright Severus.... really. He just wants to take a look is all. Moody this would have been easier if you had been a little more clear when you said you wanted to see it.\"

\"Should have been obvious.” Moody growled. The eye was roving her arm as he touched and prodded the mark there. \"Have you felt anything from it?\"

\"It was only put there last night so.... no.\"

Moody dropped her wrist abruptly, \"Now you boy.\"

Severus frowned ns pushed up his sleeve to let the Auror look at the changed Mark.

Considering this and her reaction at lunch Albus was mildly surprised that she reacted so well to Moody. Upon seeing the mark changed on Severus he rose to view it as well.

Severus noticed that Alistor\'s eyes widened a bit and swiftly met his.

\"It seems I have made a change in status among the death-eaters. Voldemort declared me his right hand.\" Severus said evenly.

Albus looked grave as he received this news. \"Did Riddle say why he wished to bestow this \'honor\' upon you?\"

\"Why? It seems that between the vapor delivery agents I created for him and taking a powerful wife I have finally proven myself to him but no he didn\'t say specifically. Melissa\'s mark is married to mine. All Death-eater wives have them. It gives the Death-eater certain controls over his wife.\"

\"Has she been told what they are?\" Albus asked quietly.

\"There hasn\'t been time as yet, Albus. Mainly it ensures that she cannot say anything to the authorities, with our her husband\'s knowledge. The mark can also be activated to act like an Imperious casting. Certain members use this quite often.\" Severus sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

Lissa came over to Severus\'s chair letting her fingers run lightly through his silky strands in an effort to help provide comfort.

\"I\'m sorry love I should have told you sooner.\" He took one of her hands an kissed her palm.

\"Why are you worried? It matters not to me. I would never willing disobey you anyhow. I swear that you are the only one I have ever given *that* vow to!\" She smiled, her other hand massaging his scalp gently.

Severus leaned into her touch. Only to be brought back to reality by a disapproving cough from Moody. \"Be that as it may give us your report so I can be on my way I have other things to today that to watch the two of you get mushy over one another.”

Severus gave his report explaining the events of the previous night glossing over the performance they had to give but going into great detail of Lucius\'s poisoning.

Albus raised an eyebrow. \"Really. Alistor, when you are done I have an experiment I wish you to be here to witness if you would.”

\"I believe I have what I need. Keep me posted boy, you are in a great position now.\" Alistor said coming as close as he ever had to a compliment. Turning to Albus he raised an eyebrow. \"What is it Albus?\"

Albus took Moody aside for a moment to speak with him quietly. \"I have explained to you how they met and that she seems to have a greater talent in psionics than magic. Magically she is simply not that strong. Watch this experiment. If I am right then she is more powerful than thought and it also becomes a concern.\"

Turning again to the couple Albus looked to Severus. \"My dear boy, if you would, a simple charm please.\"

*Foolish wand waving. * Severus thought. He dug his wand from his pocket and pointed his wand a crystal paperweight on Albus’s desk and muttered \"Engorgio\". The crystal grew to twice its original size.

\"Now...return it to normal size.\" Albus waited till he\'d complied. He retrieved the crystal and placed it on the floor. \"Now, Lissa as you have before... pour your power into Severus as he performs the spell again.\" Albus nodded to Severus.

Severus looked curiously at Albus and complied. Feeling Lissa in his mind and her power seeping in to him he muttered, \"Engorgio\". Severus\'s eyes widened when the crystal grew to the size of an ottoman.

\"Ah...thank you Severus and now if you wouldn\'t mind returning it to normal now.\"

Alistor Moody had never seen anything like it. His magically enhanced eye was moving wildly as he watched Snape cast the charm to return the crystal back to normal. Granted Snape was powerful in his own right but this was nothing short of amazing.

Severus \'s blood ran cold. If Voldemort realized that she could have this effect on him they would be in danger. Severus would at least. Voldemort would want to bind her to himself.

\"Can she do that for anybody or just Snape?\" Moody posed the question that Severus had been dreading.

At this Lissa spoke up. \"I believe a lot of it has to do with how I feel about the person and how much and badly it\'s needed at the time.\"

Albus looked at Moody. \"Care to conduct an experiment or two on your own Alistor?\"

\"I think I should, this could prove useful.\" Alistor mused. \"Com\'ere girly, let\'s give this a try.\"

Lissa walked over to Alistor. Severus was not happy about this therefore she was not sure what she should feel about all this.

**Try your best, Darling. I will get over it. ** Severus sent the thoughts to her knowing that she needed her encouragement.

**You\'re not happy and a bit afraid. **

**Darling, ** Severus sighed. **I\'m not happy but if this helps defeat Voldemort it must be done. **

**As needs be love. I will try to make sure you\'re proud of me. We\'ll make it through. **

\"Well, Mr. Moody.... what do you need?\"

\"You are the expert, just do whatever you do with Snape.\" Alistor caught himself, \"You know what I mean.\"

Lissa laughed. \"Yes, I know what you mean. Just cast your spell.\" Lissa smiled.

Severus watched closely as Moody cast the Engorgement charm.

Lissa, encouraged by Severus\'s words and knowing that it may help end things faster poured herself into Moody\'s spell.

Severus was surprised again when the crystal grew to about the size of a dinner plate not as impressive as when she lent him her power but an improvement nonetheless.

Albus was thoughtful and trieth hth her assisting him in the same spell. There was very little improvement if any with him so thinking she may be tired he again had her assist Severus with the same results with him as before. So...she was not tired. She was apparently correct. Which meant that she cared very much for Moody but not himself. Interesting. Albus was not offended at this. She was much like Severus. He would have to speak with Moody about that point.

Albus was about to dismiss everyone so he could speak with Moody alone when a figure stepped out of the fireplace having just floo’ed in.

\"Black!?\" Severus said, \"You are supposed to be dead.\"

\"Sorry to disappoint you Sniviellius. Albus where is...” Sirius never finished because he was backhanded by a very furious looking female he had never seen before who also seemed more than willing to beat him to death at the moment.

Severus smiled then started to laugh.

“Never. Ever! Call him that again! Ever!\" Lissa was breathingd and and desperately wanted to beat the crap out of him.

Black just looked from Severus to Lissa with a very confused look on his face.

\"Sirius Black, meet my wife, Melissa Snape.\" Severus said evening trying to contain his amusement.

Sirius\'s looked blankly at Severus for a moment before blinking. \"Wife. You have a wife. How did you manage? Imperio?\"

Lissa\'s fist connected with his nose this time instead of a slap. She was also rapidly losing the battle with her rage.

With blood pouring from his nose Black started backing up as she came at him not caring what Albus thought at this point.

Severus quickly stepped up to her and wrapped his arms around her. \"Black unless you wish to be more bloody than you already are I suggest you stop insulting me.\" **No, darling you cannot kill him, make him ill be my guest but don\'t kill him. **

Albus looked at Severus. \"Calm her down or get her out of here while we get this settled. Young lady this is most inappropriate behavior that needs to stop this instant!\"

Lissa whirled on Albus still angry but slightly calmer. \"I notice that you haven\'t brought Sirius to task over his insults to Severus. You didn\'t at HQ and you certainly didn\'t seem to when they were teens! Care to discuss inappropriate behavior with me?\"


Alistor Moody mumbled something about needing to get back to the Ministry; quickly grabbing some floo powder he was gone.

Blackaineained some of his cockiness as he stopped the blood flowing from his nose. \"Seems to me young lady that you\'re only managing to stay in this office by Albus\'s good graces...else you wouldn\'t even be here.\"

Lissa looked at Black a moment. \"Sirius Black the only reason that you are here at all is the fact that your mother never learned to swallow.\"

Black stood speechless for a moment before reaching for his wand.

\"Enough!\" cries Albus. \"That will be quite enough out of both of you!\"

**Darling, calm down. ** Severus said to Lissa. **We can get Black later. **

Black put away his wand still glaring at Lissa. “It figures he would marry someone as foul tempered as himself.\"

\"Sirius Black,\" began the headmaster, \"as much as I hate to admit it.... Lissa is correct. I have let you insult Severus too many times and worse; let you get away with it. I am glad to see you still breathe but quite frankly I am not sure for how long if you persist in pursuing a childhood rivalry that should have died long ago.\"

Severus couldn\'t help but think that it was too little too late but he kept his thoughts to himself.

\"Severus.... I wished to discuss with you enrolling Lissa in Hogwarts as a student. She would start out as a first year and need to follow said rules with a few exceptions, as she is a married adult. Still she needs to be educain tin the ways of the wizarding world and I think it would do her a world of good. If...she can refrain from punching those who anger her or poisoning them.\"

\"With the first years? Are you mad Albus?\" Severus said not believing what he was hearing. \"Are you going to sort her as well? Make her move into the dorms?\"

\"Severus, I would not dream of separating you two but she needs to learn and if she is going to reside in this school anyway she might as well get an education while she is here. Besides... I think we already know what house she belongs in though... I am curious to see what our sorting hat would say about her.\"

Severus sighed knowing that the argument was over before it began. \"It is her decision of course though it will create talk. I don\'t even want to think about how we explain it to Voldemort.\"

Lissa considered. \"You are both correct of course. Why don\'t I get tutored during those times when the teachers have a free period? Severus although very competent wouot bot be able to teach me everything and there would be gaps in my education.\"

Severus was happier with this idea. He didn\'t think it was appropriate for a 23-year-old woman in a class with 11 year-olds. It would definitely be distracting in his already difficult potions classes.

“Very well then. If you would make the arrangements Severus after your afternoon classes?\"

\"It would be my pleasure. I really should be going, my class does start soon.\" Severus turned to leave. At the door he turned and pinned Sirius Black with a glare. \"I wouldn\'t cross my wife, Lucius Malfoy is leaning that lesson now. Don\'t believe me? Albus will give you the details I\'m sure.\" Severus swept from the room feeling better than he had in a while until he remembered that his afternoon class was Double NEWTS level Potions with Slytherin - Gryffindors.

**Severus? ** Lissa trailed behind him. **Are you upset with me? I\'m really very sorry and I don\'t mean to be so much trouble. I also hate to ask but.... is there any way I could stay with you during class or would I be in the way? **

**Darling, we have to do something about this paranoia of yours. ** Severus smiled at her and gave her a kiss. **How about this... Unless I tell you that I am upset with you everything is fine. I did love that you broke the bastard\'s nose. Thank you that is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. As much as I would love to keep you with me. I fear that you would be a distraction for the seventh years. I will give you some books and you can start youudieudies. If you have any questions you know you can ask anytime this way. **

**Sorry...I\'ll behave. I\'m also glad you approved. I\'ll leave you be now as I don\'t wish to be viewed as a clinging vine. Take care of your classes and I will see you this evening. **

Severus gave her a basic potions text to read before he returned to the classroom to face the Class that he was thankful that this was their last year. \"Good afternoon. You will be brewing Illuminus Potion today. Turn to page 145 in your text once you have read the method and the accompanying notes you my retrieve your ingredients and begin.\"

Lissa began reading her textbook mentally comparing this to what her own studies had taught her. This kept her occupied till she fell asleep on their bed...books still opened to about halfway through. Nearby her journal laid on the bed and when she shifted in her sleep her hand fell resting on the cover.

Soon she began to dream. In her dream she danced for Severus, sensuously moving before him...teasing him with every gesture and movement she made.... bells tinkling softly at her ankle. Suddenly he growled and yanked her to him, pinning her arms to her sides...his eyes glittering down into hers.

Severus was grading poorly written essays at his desk. He was looking up every few moments to sweep the classroom with his eyes. He felt a tug at the corner of his mind. When he found it he was in the middle of his sleeping wife\'s dream.

* His lips crushed hers as she responded brazenly...desirous of lustful passions. His hands held her head still as he exposed her throat where gleamed his gift to her. \"Mine!\", he growled as his teeth lightly nipped at her flesh here and there making her writhe and whimper in his arms. Oh how she wanted more but wanted him in control and would not try to rush things...not yet. *

Severus smiled and his hand stole down to his cock. Using the desk to shield his movements he rubbed himself surreptitiously through his pants enjoying the rough feel of the fabric against him.

*He pushed her down to her knees where she undid his trousers, knowing this was what he wanted. She did this slowly blowing against the material until he was exposed to her. She smiled as she freed his fully erect cock from its confines arailrailed the tip of her nose up his length as she inhaled his scent. Once she was at the tip she gave a light k ofk of her tongue on the tip of the head. She showered him with kisses, caresses and licks until he was painfully engorged and straining. He\'d had enough then as he directed her head so that she slid the length of him into her mouth. *

Severus shifted in his chair. He was rock hard and he could do nothing about it. There was an hour left of the seventh year class. He thanked Merlin for the robes he wore that effectively covered his condition.

*Slowly he began moving in and out of her mouth as her tongue swirled around him and applied firm pressure to the most sensitive areas. She could feel his pleasure and it thrilled her to know she could do this to him! His movements became quicker as the pleasure built till he suddenly pulled her close spilling his seed down her throat. She managed to swallow it all and smiled as he withdrew. She\'d pleased him. *

He caught himself just before a moan escaped his lips and looked over the class eyeing the students. His eyes met the very amused ones of Draco Malfoy.

*He wasn\'t done with her though and pulled her up to kiss her again, plundering her soft mouth till she was breathless and weak from lack of air. There was suddenly a bed that he pushed her down on...commanding her not to move. She was very still as he began to undress before thinking the better of it. \"Better yet...undress me.\" She rose and began to undress him slowly with trembling hands. Her hands inedined though her touches were light and sensuous. *

He couldn\'t take much more of this.

Malfoy\'s lips twitched as he raised his hand. \"Sir? Professor Snape?\"

Severus looked up sharply, \"Yes, Mr. Malfoy, what is it?\"

\"Sir...I\'m not.... feeling very well. Could you escort me to Madam Pomfrey?\"

Harry and the others wonder what this was all about. They knew there was not a thing wrong with Malfoy. So what was he up to now?

Severus\'s eye twitched as the images from Lissa\'s dream spun through his mind. \"Of course, Draco. Please Longbottom don\'t blow up my classroom. \"

Severus put a hand on Draco’s shoulder and guided him out the door.

*Her nails raked his skin lightly as she removed his shirt with agonizing slowness. He grabbed her wrists. \"Witch! You tempt me far beyond what you should. Perhaps I should teach you who is really in charge here.\" She gasped as he grabbed her and held her to him. \"As you wish, my love.\" He smacked her lightly. \"Try again, pet.\" She gasped for it had stung a bit and then moaned. \"As you wish, Master Snape.\" *

Draco looked at his teacher. \"Whatever is the matter, Professor Snape?\"

His eyes danced with mischief.

\"Draco, don\'t push your luck. I am not easily amused at the moment.\" Severus ground between clenched teeth.

Draco turned serious. \"So what *is* going on and she she resist him?\"

\"Draco, come see me after dinner. This conversation is not pole, le, now. You are free to go find someone else to torment.\" Severus turned on his heel and went back to the classroom leaving a stunned Draco behind. Upon entering the classroom Severus dismissed the students telling them that they would complete their potions at the next class. Murmuring a stasis charm over the bubbling cauldrons he slammed in to his private rooms. He made a beeline for the bedroom and found his sleeping wife. He removed her clothes with a flick of his wand and pushed the books onto the floor.

*She was released to continue in her task and she resumed without her former teasing. She uncovered his pale muscular form, feasting her eyes with great delight. He was beautiful! Again he pushed her onto the bed but this time watching her as he began to tie her to the bedposts as she had him earlier that morning.
\"
\"Melissa! Wake up!\" Severus growled shaking her as he pulled his clothes off by hand. He climbed on to the bed and shook her again.

\"Umm...Severus? What\'s wrong? I was having the best dream... Are classes over already?\"

\"No they aren\'t, you witch. I know exactly what you were dreaming I dismissed my class a full hour early, do you know what that means my dear?\" Severus said.

Lissa thought quickly and her eyes widened. \"Oh Severus.... I am so sorry.\"

\"Show me just how sorry.\" Severus ground out.

\"How would you like me to do this?\"

\"You are a smart woman, you\'ll think of something.\" He leaned his naked body back against the pillows.

\"Smart maybe but.... you’re the one in control or has that changed?\"

\"You are the wench that got me in this situation get me out of it or if you prefer I can go take a cold shower?

\"Wench! I like that!\" She chuckled and crawled up to his mouth and kissed him a long, slow, exploring kiss while her hands explored his body yet again... nails lightly tracing old scars long healed.

Her head dipped down then to his nipples tracing them with her tongue and nipping them lightly occasionally while her fingers traced down his stomach.

She came back up to nuzzle his neck biting him gently at the crook between the shoulders and neck then sucking softly at the area. Her hips moved back and forth over his erection teasing him but not letting him inside her.

\"Stop teasing wench,\" Severus said to her putting his hands on her hips ceasing her movements. He slid smoothly inside of her and groaned. \"So tight.\" He watched her head fall back and her spine arch. He moved his hands to her breasts, and grazed his nails over her nipples.

She moaned as she slid into her. \"Now who needs to work on their patience?\" She rose up pulling him almost out of her teasing him even more as she moved up and down over just the tip of his cock. She impaled herself on him fully before pulling up and teasing him again.

Severus groaned, he reached up and pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. He took her position to his advantage and flipped her over on to her back. He started to pound into her then pull back out achingly slowly, over and over.

\"Ooohhh Gods yes! Severus.... please, yes!\" She whimpered then bringing her hips up to his with each thrust. \"Gods! Please Severus... let go your control and possess me!\" cri cried this out in her frustration, her fingers and nails digging into his back.

Severus obliged her and ruthlessly fucked her. This moment wasn\'t about love it was lust and possession pure and simple.

Every coherent thought in her mind left as he fucked her and she loved every single moment of it. She screamed her pleasure to him as she came hard on him and soon was reduced to the raw throated growls of her baser animal nature.

He couldn\'t hold back any longer and when she clenched around him he spilled, filling her. He collapsed over her still joined with her trying to remember how to breathe.

After a few moments she had gathered enough breath to speak again. \"On.... second thought.... I am...not so sure...I am sorry about...the interruption.\"

\"Wench,\" was all he could say. He groaned as he heard a voice calling from the other room.

\"Severus? Severus Snape answer me now or I am coming down there.\"

\"Who in the world....\"

Poppy had such an impeccable sense of timing. \"Poppy if you come down here, I will not be responsible fhat hat you will see.\" Severus called.

\"Gods! What does she want?\" Lissa groaned as she tried futilely to move and gave up when it took too much effort.

\"Are you all right Severus? Come here where I can see you.\"

\"Why would she think you weren\'t?\"

Severus sighed and heaved himself up and shrugged into a black robe. \"I dismissed class early. Something I have only done once before.\"
