Chapter 15- The Truth About Sam

Hermione walked over to Severus and smiled at him.

“You might want to get comfortable. I think just your boxers would be perfect.” she said as she quickly kissed him and entered the bathroom.

Severus smiled as he began to undress. Once down to his boxers he propped himself up against her headboard and waited. Five minutes later Hermione came out wearing a sheer emerald green robe. Severus watched in fascination as Hermione slowly let the robe slide down her body.

Severus felt his cock spring to life at the sight before him. There stood his beautiful Hermione wearing a black leather corset, split crotch thong, garter belt and black stockings, along with black heeled shoes. He swallowed hard as she approached the bed.

“You like?” she asked.

Severus could only nod. Hermione climbed on the bed and straddled him. She then captured his lips in a passionate kiss. Severus wrapped his arms tightly around her and held her a close as he could. As the kiss wore on Hermione began to wiggle against his hardening member.

“Mmmm. You are such a little minx. I believe you were sorted in the wrong house.” Severus sighed as he began kissing down her neck.

“I believe so too at times.” Hermione moaned.

Severus quickly moved Hermione to her back underneath him. He continued to kiss his way down her body. He nipped at her nipples through the corset, eliciting a sigh from Hermione. Down he went, his hands massaging her breasts through the leather. He finally reached her thong.

He slid his tongue out and licked her once. Hermione moaned and arched toward him. That was all he needed. He then thrust his tongue deep inside her. Hermione tangled her fingers in his hair. She loved when he was like this. Compassionate yet demanding at the same time.

“Severus! That feels so good!” she cried as he began licking and sucking her clit, while alternating thrusting his tongue in her.

Hermione began to buck against him. She was rapidly losing control. After a few more quick thrusts and a few licks she was coming into his waiting mouth. Severus licked her clean then began to kiss his way up her body. She leaned foreword and kissed him. She reached down and took hold of him.

She pushed him onto his back and began to kiss down his body as he had down hers. When she reached his boxers, she swiftly pulled them off and tossed them behind her. Before he could blink, he was engulfed in her sweet, warm mouth.

“Hermione.” Severus moaned.

Hermione began sucking and licking harder and faster, as well as massaging his balls. She knew he wouldn’t last long if she kept that up much longer. She wanted him buried deep inside her. She continued her ministrations a few more minutes when Severus pulled her away.

“As much as I enjoy that, I would rather enjoy fucking you right now.” he whispered as he pinned her beneath him.

“Please do.” she whispered.

Severus kissed her as he plunged inside. Hard and deep. The couple groaned in ecstacy. The froze for a moment before he began to move. Tonight he was going to be gentle as well as rough. He began to thrust slow and deep, causing her to make deep noises from the back of her throat. She was so wet and tight around him, he was in heaven.

“Severs...so good.” she moaned as the thrust even deeper.

“My darling Hermione. So sweet.” he whispered against her neck.

Hermione locked her legs and arms around him. He felt so good in her arms. She never wanted to let him go. Severus then changed pace. He shifted his angle slightly and began to thrust hard and fast.

“Oh Merlin!” she cried.

“Like that?” he asked.

“Yes! More!” she begged.

“On you knees and grab the headboard.” he ordered.

She quickly did as he said. He then thrust roughly into her. She cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain. This was a side she could definitely get used to. With experienced hands he undid and removed her corset. Then he began to massage and pinch her breasts and nipples.

“Yes! Oh Severus!” she cried.

“Hermione!” he cried.

He slid his hand down and began to finger her wet clit. This sent Hermione’s emotions into overdrive. Just when she thought she was going to come, he stopped and slowed his movements. Hermione rested her head against his shoulder.

“You feel so good Hermia. I love you. SO much it hurt sometimes.” Severus whispered as he slowly fingered her clit and began to thrust harder once more.

“I love you too. Oh gods above.” she moaned.

He was so close and knew that she was too. He quickly sped up his movements. Hermione and Severus both began gasping. As he thrust foreword she would thrust back. Within seconds both were coming as one.

“HERMIONE!”

“SEVERUS!”

Hermione sagged against him as he gently eased them onto the bed. Slowly he withdrew from her. With a flick of his wrist they were clean of their lovemaking and tucked under the blankets in each others arms.

“Marry me.” he whispered into her ear.

“Yes.” she whispered back.

They shared a sweet kiss and then drifted off to sleep. As they slept they held one another tighter than ever, both afraid of what the morning would bring.

As the sunlight poured into her room Hermione awoke with a smile. Severus had actually asked her to marry him and she had accepted. She snuggled deeper into his arms and smiled. Severus began to wake as she did.

“Morning. Mrs. Snape.” he said.

“Mrs. Snape. I like that sound of that. Mr. Snape.” she said.

He kissed her lovingly. Not quite believing she had actually accepted his proposal. Together they got out of bed and into the shower. After they were showered Severus flooed to his room to change and Hermione headed downstairs for breakfast.

“Morning Hermione.” Remus greeted, while Harry waved.

“Morning. It’s a beautiful morning isn’t it.” she replied.

“Someone had fun last night.” Harry said as he took a bite of his eggs.

Hermione merely smiled and poured her a cup of coffee. Five minutes later both Sam and Severus entered the hall. Sam sat next to Harry while Severus sat beside Hermione.

“Morning Hermione. Sleep well?” Sam asked.

“Morning. I slept great. You?” Hermione answered.

“I slept all right. So, are we going to work on that potion today or what?” Sam asked.

“Actually, Severus is going to brew it. I thought that today you and I could go over the game plan. That way, there will be no mistakes.” Hermione answered.

“Sounds fine to me.” Sam replied.

After breakfast Hermione and Sam headed for the library while Severus headed to his office to get ready for his classes. He didn’t like the idea of Hermione alone with Sam, but knew in order for their plan to work, he had to trust Hermione. He entered his office and found Kingsley waiting on him.

“Kingsley, what are you doing here?” Severus asked.

“I have that information you asked about.” Kingsley said as he pointed at a thick file on Severus’s desk.

Severus walked over and picked up the file. He flipped through it. It told of his family’s history, his school records as well as his current job and life style. He was about to turn the page when something caught his eye. It was a report against him by the American Ministry of Magic.

“Is this legitimate?” Severus asked worriedly.

“Yes. He does have the Dark Mark. Seems he received it his 6th year at Salem Academy. He told the American Ministry that he had no choice. However, I have spoken to a few of my contacts there and they say that is a likely story. It seems that this Samuel Peterson is like Lucius. Well connected and with money.” Kingsley answered.

“Come on. We have to tell Albus. Now.” Severus said.

Severus quickly wrote a note and pinned it his door for his classes. He and Kingsley hurried to Albus’s office. They found Harry and Remus were there.

“I’m glad you two are here. We have a problem. Harry, go get Hermione from the library. Do not let Samuel Peterson come here. Tell him it’s Order business. Hurry.” Severus ordered.

Harry didn’t hesitate. He ran to the library. He found Hermione and Sam in the back. He walked over and tapped Hermione on the shoulder.

“Hey Harry.” she greeted.

“Hey. Albus needs you in his office.” Harry said.

“Okay. Sam, you continue to go over this and I’ll be back soon.” Hermione said.

Sam nodded as the two left. They hurried to Albus’s office. Once inside Severus rushed to her side.

“Are you alright?” he asked.

“I’m fine. What is going on?” she answered.

“I was looking through the file Kingsley gave me. Samuel Peterson has the Dark Mark.” Severus replied.

“What?!” Everyone cried.

Severus handed Hermione the file, while everyone gathered around her. Sure enough, there was a picture of Sam with his sleeve rolled up and the mark on his forearm.

“Oh my god!” Hermione gasped.

She suddenly felt sick. Her legs began to shake and finally gave out. Harry quickly caught her and sat her on the couch. Severus was at her side in a flash.

“Oh my god. To think that all this time I was around him. Hell I even kissed him. I just can’t...” she couldn’t even finish the sentence.

“There, there. It’s alright. I won’t let him hurt you.” Severus whispered as he held her close.

“What do we do?” Remus asked.

“We can’t let him know that we know this. Remember, him and Hermione are going into Draco’s lair on Halloween, which is in less than two weeks.” Harry said.

“I’m not letting her go in there now! Absolutely not!” Severus yelled.

“There’s no time to change the plan. I need you to brew the power stripping potion. Sam thinks we’re using a different potion and won’t know the difference, till it’s too late.” Hermione said.

“I’m not about to let you go in with a known Death Eater. For all we know, he could be working with Malfoy.” Severus pleaded.

“I have an idea. What about if we send Tonks in with them. We have secretly caught a Death Eater. Tonks could use her abilities to make herself look like the Death Eater. She could watch over Hermione.” Kingsley suggested.

“That will work. Contact her and let her know of the plan.” Hermione said.

“Okay. Anything else?” Kingsley asked.

“Yes. Could you also do a check on a woman named Erin Jacobs? She’s the editor of the newspaper I work for in San Francisco.” Hermione asked.

“Of course. I’ll have the information in a few days. Until then, good bye.” Kingsley said as he flooed back to the ministry.

“I have to get back to Sam. We can’t let on that we know anything. Everyone has to play their roles right.” Hermione said.

Everyone nodded. Hermione got to her feet and headed back to the library. Harry and Remus returned to their classes, while Severus returned to his private chambers. He was scared to death. Scared of the plan and what would or could happen to Hermione while she was with Sam.

“If anyone is listening up there, please. Please let Hermione come out of this unharmed.” Severus whispered.

For the first time in twenty years Severus cried. He only hoped that the gods and goddesses above and luck were on their side.
