Ch 18 Are you happy now
CH 18 ARE YOU HAPPY NOW
Hugs to Zephyr
You know where the thanks are if you want them!
I know it\'s short, the next one\'s coming!!
Not mine, Hers.
“Now,
Don’t just walk away,
Pretending everything’s okay,
And you don’t care about me,
And I,
Know it’s just no use,
When all your lies become your truths
And I
Don’t care”
-Are you happy now, Michelle Branch
Nobody saw anything of Severus or Hermione all day on Saturday.
Dumbledore took this as a good sign as he hummed to himself on the way to dinner; they had obviously sorted out their differences and were probably working on D.A training together.
He walked along the back of the head table smiling at the teachers already seated and sitting himself. There was still no sign of his favorite soldiers, but he was sure that once they turned up it was going to be a very pleasant evening.
Hermione was standing in the entrance hall, looking out onto the grounds. It was still raining and she was reminded of lying naked in the middle of the storm last night, with the school potions master deep inside her.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t done it before, and she had never been like other woman, wanting love and commitment and children. When she wanted sex she took it. But at least she thought about whom she wanted to sleep with in advance. She didn’t think she could have stopped herself last night if her life had depended on it. Just the thought of him inside her again was causing her stomach to tremble.
Their phone sparring while she was in Ireland had left her wanting more, and if the team hadn’t been attacked by surprise during the last call she probably would have told him how much she enjoyed them
(Snap out of it woman, if you want him, go and get him.)
She shook the thoughts away. She had slept nearly the whole day away, only to wake to the thousand questions in her head.
Why did he run off? What could possibly come of this? Well, she would just have to play this one by ear and, if it came to it, blast his doors off later.
The second bell rang, signaling that if you wanted dinner, you’d better move it.
\"No time like the present, girl.\" She said to herself and ran down the hall to the great hall.
Severus had woken up about half an hour ago. He felt like shit, as he knocked back a hangover cure and set about putting his rooms to rights. He had no idea what to do about Hermione.
Last night it had seemed so clear, just go and talk to her.
Today, however it seemed like the hardest task in the world. He thought about the feel of her body, wrapped around his. Her sweet mouth. He could feel himself growing hard at the thought of her.
(Stop this. She is nothing more than Lucius Malfoy’s sex slave. You are better off on your own,) said the deatheater’s voice in his head.
He walked into his lab, planning on getting some brewing done when he heard the second dinner bell ringing. As if in protest, his stomach groaned loudly.
\"Oh all right.\" He said taking long strides out of the room.
Everyone was settled in the great hall, eating and chatting with friends when the doors burst open on either side of the hall and Hermione came storming in one, with Severus storming in the other.
The hall went silent, as everyone in the school now knew about the animosity between them, after the incident in the office.
As she strode purposely past the Gryffindor table to the front of the hall, she heard one of the students snicker to his friend.
\"Look its Batman and Batgirl!\"
She looked up and saw that Severus had entered the hall, robes flying in much the same way as hers and was making his way past the Slytherins to the head table.
( All he needs is a mask.) She sniggered to herself and then realized that they were talking about her as well.
\"Ten points from Gryffindor, for lack of respect for your elders.\" She threw over her shoulder at the offending pair.
Severus reached the head table first, and sat right at the end as usual, meaning she would have to sit between him and Professor Flitwick, who was deep in conversation with Professor Sprout.
She apologized to Dumbledore as she passed him and sat down next to Severus, who was looking intently at his roast beef dinner. She called for her own dinner and they sat in silence. Finally, when Hermione could stand the tension no longer, she spoke, still looking straight ahead.
\"I think that you and I need to talk.\"
He frowned for a moment. He wasn’t ready to talk to her yet, if ever, and if he did, he wanted to do it on his terms.
\"Unless it is about Mondays defense lesson, I cannot imagine what you and I would have to talk about.\"
\"Really?, I think it would be pretty obvious, Severus.\"
\"Not to me Hermione, I have nothing else to discuss with you.\"
\"Fine, fine. How about this. I stand up right now in front of all these people and tell them, how I got the fuck of my life from the potions master last night, yet today he won’t talk to me about it.\"
He turned to look at her. She was still eating and looking straight ahead as if she hadn’t said anything.
\"Then I would suggest that you don’t forget to tell them that the Potions master also got ‘the fuck of his life’ as you so eloquently put it, but he won’t be blackmailed, even by a beautiful auror.\"
The words had escaped his mouth before he could think about them. Silently cursing himself, he carried on eating and hoped she hadn‘t heard.
She dropped her fork and it clattered onto her plate, causing a few people to look up, then resume eating.
\"Oh Severus, you can be such a charmer at times,\" she said sarcastically. \"However I have nothing to lose, and if you refuse to speak to me, and I promise I will mentally scar every student here by giving them a blow by blow account of what happened last night, and trust me when I say blow by blow.\"
\"I am quite sure that I have warned you about the perils of threatening me Hermione. In fact I think that you have experienced the consequences first hand.”
\"Fair enough,\" she said standing and clearing her throat to get everyone\'s attention. \"Good evening to you all. I have something to tell you all, about what myself and Professor Snape were doing last night.\"
She turned to him and raised one eyebrow.
He had thought she was bluffing, but now, \"Sit down, Hermione, tonight will be fine.\" He said through clenched teeth.
\"We were just putting the final touches to the sixth and seventh year defense lessons, which officially start on Monday with both of us, and I would like to apologize for the delay\"
The students and faculty looked at her a bit strangely, then continued with their conversations.
She smiled and sat down to continue her meal. When she had finished, she turned to directly face him; he was watching her carefully, leaning back in his chair with a glass of wine in his hand.
He raised the glass in a mock toast, letting her know that she had won that round, but his eyes told her that there was another battle to be fought, and she had the strangest feeling that, whatever happened tonight, it wasn’t going to end well.
Let’s hear it for the girls!
PotionsMistressM ; Thank you, it’s one of my favourites too, and seemed to fit the mood, and we all know that Sev is kidding himself. But will he tell her?
Deb ; You are right of course, it is not a bad thing to beg!! and I love ya for it!but you’ll just have to wait and see what happens!!
Kate ; wouldn’t I?, I can, at times, be cruel and unusual!! You’ll see!
Red Writing Hood ; Just a tad bit? You ain’t seen nothing yet!!
Fish ; Ooh, I love Southend, I got my first tattoo there,14 years ago, Eek! You’re a diamond too hon!
Fish (again) ; Chopstick as a wand? I like the way you think!! and seagull feather, Inspired!! I can hear your strange music from Watford, tell the potatoes they are slightly out of time with the rest of the band!!
Shem ; So by ‘deranged pretty boy’ I take it you don’t like Lucius!! Never fear my love, it is all in hand (literally!!) and I’m sure that Sev Jr will get his own way in the end! He always does when he’s here *wink*
Nevillus ; Thank you for reading it all in one sitting, I bet that was hard going! 29yrs difference! I thought that the 13 yrs between me and my partner was big, you go girl, the older ones are always better!!
Cookie ; Good point, but I thought that Sev would be to angry to cast one and Hermione would want to listen to if sif she could find out what was wrong. I also have a soft spot for Lucius, but not in this story!
Daxi ; Thanks. I’ll see what I can do about that happy ending!!
Marine ; Again I say, I am sometimes cruel!! Hoped you liked this chapter, please don’t paint your cat!!
Estrilda ; Aah, but what will you do once we reach the climatic end? I may not write anything else! I would write faster but 1) have a job that keeps me out a lot and 2) Have hit a dead end at chapter 28!!
Big kisses to all my reviewers, as always, you make the effort and it always prompts me to write more!!
Thank you
