AFTERWARDS

Hermione was sitting at the staff table in the Great Hall, picking at her food half-heartedly with her fork. Minerva glanced at her in concern. She was very fond of the girl and worried about her. She knew she must miss her parents dreadfully and had hoped the job at Hogwarts would be a helpful distraction. Today, she looked so sad, Minerva’s heart went out to her and her eyes filled up a little.



Severus walked slowly into the hall and glanced up at the staff table, his eyes lingering on Hermione who was still staring at her plate, her head resting on her hand, her face pale. He needed to get her alone but it would be difficult under the watchful gaze of their colleagues.



Hermione didn’t notice Severus arriving until she felt his billowing robes pass behind her seat. She dropped her fork in shock, breaking her reverie. She tried her best to keep her concentration on her food, which she started to shovel into her mouth.



‘Severus…’ Minerva turned to face him. ‘I am worried about Miss Granger. She seems so out of sorts today.’



Severus made pretence of glancing in Hermione’s direction before answering.



‘She looks a little tired. Perhaps I have been working her too hard with the potions stock?’



His stomach was in knots, Hermione did look dreadful and he knew it was because of his insensitivity.



‘Perhaps, but I think it is more than that. She trusts you, Severus; you seem to have a bond since she saved your life. Speak with her, gain her confidence. She needs a friend, with her parents still missing.’ Minerva sniffed a little and wiped away a tear.



‘Poor child…’ she whispered as she looked across at her again.



Hermione could feel Minerva watching her. She carefully placed her fork onto her plate and stood up from the table.



‘If you will all excuse me…’ She spoke quietly and looked at Minerva, smiling slightly before leaving the table and walking quickly from the Great Hall.



Severus watched her leave and it took all of his will power not to call after her and beg her forgiveness.



*********



Hermione lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She had cast a charm and was watching a deep pink rose open and close above her. She missed Crookshanks and wished he was here to provide some comfort, but a hospital was no place for a cat so she had left him with Harry and Ginny until she could find a better solution.



She heard a tapping at her window and looked across her room to see a small tawny owl tapping the glass, a small parchment wrapped in green ribbon tied to its leg.

Reluctantly she walked to the window and the owl flew in and landed on her mantle, hooting softly. Hermione untied the parchment and opened it quickly. It was from Severus.



‘Hermione, I would request the pleasure of your company as soon as is convenient. Please reply with the owl. Severus.’



Hermione scrawled a quick reply, ‘On my way’, and tied it back to the owl, stroking his feathers in thanks before he flew out of the window.



Hermione decided to walk to the dungeon, not knowing if their floo’s were still connected. It gave her time to think. She was desperate to see him and try and make things right and resolved to tell him just that



By the time she reached the dungeon, her heart was pounding in her ears. She didn’t have time to knock on the door. Severus had been waiting for her and had the door open as soon as his wards detected her approach.



Hermione gasped as she saw him, pain was etched on his face, his eyes deep with unspoken emotion. He grabbed her hand a pulled her into the room, waving his wand to ward the door as he walked her purposely into his private quarters. He didn’t stop at the sofa as she expected him to do but marched her into his bedchamber, flicking his wand quickly, closing and warding the doors, closing the floo and casting a silencing charm over the whole dungeon.



‘Severus.. what…?’ Hermione started to speak but he silenced her with a kiss, deep and probing, wrapping his arms tightly around her. She sighed and kissed him back eagerly, flicking his tongue with her own and moaning as her desire started to build.



Severus ran his fingers through her long hair and cupped her face with his hands, crushing her lips with his, sucking at her tongue and thrusting his own into her mouth, exploring and tasting every delicious inch of her. He pushed her legs apart with his knee and thrust his hardness against her thigh. He heard her gasp and moved his hand to cup her full breast through the fabric of her shirt. He was gratified to find her nipple hard and traced the outline of her with his fingertips. Hermione grasped at his robes and pushed them off his broad shoulders. They pooled at his feet and she was nimbly opening his shirt with her fingers when she pulled away from his amazing lips in exasperation. Reaching into her pocket she grabbed her wand, stared into his eyes and flicked it quickly. Severus was naked and beautiful in front of her and she wanted him, God, how her body screamed for him!



She turned her wand to herself and he fell onto her nakedness with his hands, caressing her back, stroking the soft roundness of her buttocks. He bent his head to her neck, planting small kisses along her throat. He moved his wet mouth to her breasts and she arched herself towards him as he licked and sucked her nipples. Her hand reached downwards to grip his cock. She could feel moisture on the tip and moved her crotch closer, rubbing his hardness between her wet folds as her hand moved quickly up and down his thick shaft.



‘Oh Gods…’ Severus moaned and pushed Hermione back onto his bed. Hermione licked her lips as he laid himself over her. She opened her legs wider and pushed her willing pussy over his throbbing dick. She brushed his chest with her hands and lifted her head to take his nipple between her teeth. She bit gently and he growled deeply before plunging into her wetness.



‘Oh my God, Severus!’ Hermione cried out as he entered her, stretching her, not waiting before he withdrew and thrust himself firmly into her again and again.



Severus groaned as he thrust, she felt so wet and tight and looked so incredible. He felt his orgasm build and stopped thrusting, holding himself inside her as he felt her vagina pulsing against him. He laid his head against her throat and licked her soft skin. ‘Hold on to me…’ he growled in her ear.



Hermione moaned and wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck as he kissed her fervently, tongues colliding, gasps coming from both of them. Gently Severus rolled onto his back, twisting Hermione so she was nestled on top of his dick, her breasts pushed firmly against his chest. Hermione moaned at the different sensation she was feeling and she kissed him, thrusting her tongue deeply into his mouth as he pushed his pelvis upwards gently. Something inside her was on fire; the position of his dick was stimulating something she had never felt, something exquisite. Her pussy was dripping juices over him and he groaned, he knew it would be long.



‘Sit up, Hermione, I want to watch you fuck me…’ He whispered sexily in her ear.



‘Oh yes…’ She gasped and slowly raised herself so she was sitting prettily on his cock. She could feel his thick length pushing open her nether lips and it was the best feeling in the world. Gently she sat herself further onto him until she encased the whole of him inside her tight sheath. ‘Oh fuck…Severus…’ She moaned and threw her head back, her vagina tightening against him. She moved her legs so she was gripping his thighs with hers and began to move on top of him, withdrawing him to his tip before thrusting him firmly back inside her. They were both gasping with pleasure. Severus watched her, her full breasts with their delicious nipples erect and begging to be touched, and the top of her pussy glistening with juices, her clit poking forwards slightly, engorged with desire. He moaned and closed his eyes, taking one hand and placing it over her breast and moving the other to her wet pussy. He rubbed his thumb over her pulsing clit and pulled at her erect nipple with his fingers, squeezing and tweaking firmly. Hermione cried out and began to thrust him deeper and deeper into her wetness.



‘Oh fuck!! Severus!!! I’m coming … oh my goddess….’ She tightened around his length and he couldn’t hold back. She felt him stiffen inside her and screamed as she came, over and over again.



‘Don’t stop, Hermione… oh fuck!!! Yes…oh fuck….’ He thrust his pelvis upwards to meet her movements and rammed hard against her cervix as he exploded inside her, thick streams of come pulsing from him as she slowed her movements and collapsed onto his chest.



They lay there gasping, sweat glistening against their skin, Hermione rested her forehead against his, her eyes closed, trying to catch her breath. Severus stroked her back and wrapped his arms around her waist before turning them both onto their sides, his softening cock still nestled inside her as they entwined their legs.



‘Look at me…’ He spoke gently and Hermione opened her eyes. He stared into them and saw her soul laid bare, his for the taking.



Hermione looked into his eyes. She was burning inside for him, her vagina was still throbbing from hr orgasm and she thought she could lay here forever and never need to eat or sleep as long as she had him between her legs. His eyes were dark and full of emotion. She wished she knew what he was thinking.



He leaned towards her and kissed her lips tenderly, not taking his eyes from hers.



\'I love you, witch…’ He whispered softly.
