Chapter 18- Night Before the Mission
The week of the mission flew by. Sam was kept in the dark about everything. Severus had brewed the power stripping potion, with the help of Petunia. They had also found out Petunia was a member of the Order and would be disguised as a level two Death Eater along with Tonks.
It was the day before Halloween. Luckily it was a Saturday. Hermione spent the whole day with Severus, Remus, and Harry. Sam was in his rooms preparing for the next night. Hermione was scared. Even more than when she went to give the potion to Voldemort.
“Hermia, let’s go to London. Just the two of us.” Severus suggested.
“Sounds good. I could use some fresh air.” Hermione agreed.
Severus and Hermione headed for the gates and apparated away. They appeared in an alley in downtown London. Severus transfigured their clothes and cautiously, they entered the busy streets. Severus led Hermione towards the shops across the street.
“I thought some shopping might help you relax.” He said as she looked at him in surprise.
“I never pictured you the shopping type.” she giggled.
“I’m just full of surprise my dear.” he said with a smile.
The two entered several shops. The first ones were clothing shops. There Hermione bought a few pairs of black and blue jeans, some long sleeve shirts, as well as some tank tops. The next shop sold goth and punk style clothes and accessories. There Hermione bought a bracelet that had metal spikes on it and a belt to match.
“Just in case.” she said in response to the questioning gaze Severus was giving her.
After that, they decided to get some lunch. They entered an Italian restaurant and were quickly seated. As they sat at their table Hermione pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.
“When did you start that?” Severus asked as he too took one from the pack and lit it.
“My last year at Hogwarts. I find it helps calm my nerves.” Hermione answered.
“That it does. But it is a nasty habit you know.” he said as he took a drag.
“What’s it going to do? Kill me? Wizards and witches are immune to the diseases caused by smoking and drinking.” she stated.
They placed their orders and started talking. Not about the mission, but about their future together. They talked about marriage plans, children, and what they would do after Draco was caught and punished.
“Have you thought of a date for the wedding?” Severus asked as they ate their meal.
“Not really. I mean we haven’t even told anyone yet.” Hermione answered.
“We’ll tell them after this mission is done.” Severus said.
They ate the remainder of their meal and dessert in a comfortable silence. Severus paid the bill, took Hermione’s hand in his and led her back outside. The final stop was a jewelry shop.
“Severus? What are we doing here?” she asked as they entered.
“Why, getting you your engagement ring and buying our wedding bands. I want you to pick what ever you want.” he answered.
“Oh Severus. You’re good to me, you know that.” she said as she brushed her hand against his cheek.
“May I help you?” the man behind the counter said.
“Yes. We are picking out our wedding bands and her engagement ring. Price isn’t an issue. What ever she want to see or get.” Severus answered.
“Of course. This way.” the man said with a smile.
For over an hour Hermione and Severus stared at rings. The two settled on the wedding bands pretty quickly. A set of platinum bands inlaid with rubies and emeralds. Her engagement ring took a little longer though. Finally Hermione found the perfect one. A 1 carat diamond solitaire.
“It is a perfect match for you miss.” the man said.
“He’s right Hermione. It’s perfect for you.” Severus agreed.
After buying the rings, which all fit perfectly, they left, with Hermione wearing her new ring. They made their way to a nearby park and sat on one of the benches. Hermione leaned against him as he held her close.
“I love you Severus.” she said.
“And I love you Hermione. So very much.” he replied.
“I’m scared. About tomorrow night. What if something goes wrong? What if Sam and Erin are working with Malfoy? What if something happens to you?” she asked.
“Sshh. Everything will be fine. Petunia and Tonks will be right there with you and the rest of us will be right outside. Everything will be just fine. I promise.” he answered as he kissed the top of her head.
They sat there for an hour before heading back to Hogwarts. They arrived just in time for dinner. Sam sat beside Hermione while Severus sat on the other side. Hermione pretended everything was fine, but in truth she was uneasy about him being that close to her.
“Something wrong Hermione?” Sam asked.
“No. Well, yes. I’m just nervous about tomorrow. That’s all.” Hermione answered.
“You sure?” Sam asked.
“I’m sure. Besides, by this time tomorrow, all my problems will be over. One way or another.” Hermione answered.
After dinner Hermione and Severus made their way to her rooms. While they were there, Harry was meeting with Albus, Remus, Tonks and Petunia. They were meeting to go over the plan one last time.
“Hey everyone. Thanks for meeting me. Now, Tonks, how many Aurors will be there?” Harry asked.
“100. Kingsley, Arthur and Albus personally chose them.” Tonks answered.
“Perfect. Severus and Remus will be with me and Albus hiding in the woods behind the manor. Aunt Petunia, you and Tonks will be covering Hermione inside. If anything goes wrong get her out of there. I don’t care about Sam, just Hermione.” Harry instructed.
“Don’t worry. Hermione said she would be placing a spell on Sam so he couldn’t give her away.” Petunia said with a smile.
“Good. Now, let’s all get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.” Harry said.
Everyone said good night and headed for their chambers. Back in Hermione’s room Hermione and Severus were just climbing into bed after having a nice hot bath. Severus held her as she rested her head on his bare chest.
“I’m surprised Mr. Peterson didn’t notice your ring.” Severus said.
“Me too. In fact no one noticed. I think we were all a bit preoccupied about tomorrow.” Hermione said.
Severus leaned over and kissed her. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him over onto her. Slowly they removed what little clothing was between them. They were now flesh against flesh.
“I love you.” she whispered.
“And I you.” he whispered.
Their lips met in a tender kiss. No words were needed. They made love slowly, tenderly, and passionately. It was hard to tell where Severus started and Hermione ended. They were not only one heart and soul, but for this night, they were one body as well.
“Severus.”
“Oh my beautiful Hermione.”
For hours it seemed they moved as one. Slowly building up each other’s climax. There was raw power and emotion pouring from both of them. Stronger than anything either had felt before. Hermione and Severus seemed to melt into one another as their climaxes reached their peaks.
“HERMIONE!”
“SEVERUS! OH GODS!”
Both collapsed to the bed, their energy spent.
“Wow. Talk about near earth shattering.” Hermione sighed.
“Yeah. Once this is over, I think we need to talk to Albus. I mean, every time we make love, we feel this raw energy. It’s strange.” Severus said.
“I agree. But for now, let’s just sleep.” she whispered as she snuggled against him.
Severus waved his hand and the lights went out and he and Hermione as well as the sheets were clean once more. A few doors down Sam was pacing his sitting room.
“Tomorrow. Tomorrow she will be mine, Snape will be dead, as well as that bitch Erin. Then my plan can finally move into motion.” he said out loud.
