Star Crossed Lovers

Chapter 1

“God it feels good to be back at Hogwarts.” Sirius sighed.

“Sure does.” Severus added.

The sun was just setting as Severus and Sirius walked across the grounds heading toward the castle. The two had been gone for five months. Shortly after they reached Wales, Death Eaters had attacked Order Headquarters. Severus had feared Hermione had been hurt, but was relieved when Albus informed them no one was hurt. Headquarters was now temporarily at Hogwarts till the start of the new school year in September.

“Welcome back.” Harry greeted from the large double doors of the castle.

“Thanks.” Sirius said.

The three entered the main hall. From the corner of his eye, Severus spotted Hermione hiding in the shadows. He needed to get away from Potter and Black.

“Black, Potter, I’ll catch up with you two at the meeting. First I need a hot shower.” Severus said.

Harry and Sirius nodded and headed upstairs. Once he was sure they were gone he hurried to his wife. He gathered her in his arms and held her tight and close. Just savoring the feel of her in his arms once more.

“I’ve missed you Hermione.” he whispered as he pulled back to look at her.

“There were whispers that you’d been killed.” she said worriedly.

“I’m all right. It feels like we’ve been apart for a lifetime.” he replied as he leaned down and kissed her.

Hermione returned the kiss but pulled away after a few seconds.

“Wait. Not here.” she said.

“Yes, here. I’m tired of all this deception. I don’t care if they know we’re married.” he said as he pressed his forehead to hers.

“Severus, don’t say things like that.” Hermione pleaded fearfully.

Severus sighed and pulled her into his arms once more. Hermione let out a ragged sigh and wrapped her arms tighter around his lean waist.

“Are you all right? You’re trembling. What’s going on?” Severus asked as he took a step back from her.

Hermione took a breath then spoke.

“Something wonderful has happened Severus. I’m pregnant.” Hermione answered with a smile.

Severus was in shock. A million thoughts and feelings were running rampant in his mind. He was thrilled, worried and mainly frightened. Frightened if someone found out. Mainly Albus or the Death Eaters.

“That’s…Well, that’s won…That’s wonderful.” he said with a smile as he hugged her once more.

“What are we gonna do?” she asked fearfully.

“We’re not gonna worry about anything right now. All right? This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life.” he answered and held her tighter.

A few minutes later he kissed her lovingly and they parted ways. Severus went to his chambers and grabbed a relaxing shower. He couldn’t believe that Hermione was in fact pregnant with his child. He was so happy.

‘I’m going to be a father! I never thought I would have this chance.’ He thought still in shock at the wonderful news.

After he showered and changed into clean robes he headed for the Great Hall for the Order meeting. He walked in and found Hermione sitting with Molly and Ginny. He took his seat between Sirius and Remus a few seats away.

“Let us begin. Sirius, Severus what have you found?” Albus asked. Severus rose to his feet.

“They have in fact set up another base. Black and I counted at least 50 to 100 Death Eaters there. We also discovered a few werewolves with them as well.” Severus reported as he sat back down.

“Snape and I also discovered that Voldemort himself came and oversaw the remaining set up of the base.” Sirius added.

“This is not good. Remus was able to bring back the potions texts and ingredients from my friend in France. Hermione, have you managed to make any headway with it?” Albus asked.

“Yes sir. The potions text was easy to translate. The only problem is, the potion will have to be modified to take into account Voldemort’s reptilian nature. That is where I am running into some difficulty.” Hermione answered as she slowly sat back down.

“Severus, tomorrow morning I want you to help Hermione with this problem. For now, let us eat.” Albus said.

The tables in the hall instantly filled with food. Severus watched as Hermione laughed and talked with Molly and Ginny. She was radiant as always. He couldn’t even tell that she was pregnant, which was a good thing. Albus would get suspicious if Hermione was showing.

Hermione finished her dinner and excused herself. Half an hour later Severus followed. Albus had said we would not be staying at the castle and would be returning in a few days after he finished his business in Dublin. This relieved Severus. After all, Hogwarts was Albus’s domain. Not much went on within the castle the man didn’t know about.

That night Severus leaned against the wall as Hermione stood on her balcony, wearing her light blue nightgown coming her hair. From where he stood he could just make out the outline of her growing stomach. She had informed him when he reached her chambers that she was five months pregnant.

“Severus, I want to have our child in Italy. I inherited a cottage from my aunt. It’s in the lake country. I could have our baby there. No one would know and we would be safe. After all, Albus has been talking of sending me away before the battle happens. Perhaps I could get him to send me early. I could set up the baby‘s room. I know the perfect place. The room facing the gardens.” Hermione said wistfully as she combed through her hair.

“You are so…beautiful.” Severus said.

“It’s only because I’m so in love.” Hermione replied with a smile as she turned to face him.

“No. No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.” Severus said with a chuckle.

“So love has blinded you?” she asked.

“Well, that’s not exactly what I meant.” he replied.

“But it’s probably true.” she said as she placed her brush on the dresser and walked into his arms.

Severus stood there holding his beautiful wife. Just grateful they were together once more. He swept her into his arms and carried her to the bed. Gently he laid her against the pillows. Hermione flicked her wrist and both were naked.

“Severus, I have to feel you. Please.” she whispered.

Severus didn’t speak. He leaned down and kissed her. Hermione wrapped her arms around his shoulders and tangled her fingers in his hair. Severus slid one hand down her body, paying extra attention to the slight bulge of their child growing within her. His fingers brushed against her curls at her center. She was already wet and waiting for him.

Ever since he had held her and kissed her in the hall when he returned, he had a hard-on. Severus moved over her body and slowly slid his dick into her wet pussy. Hermione moaned into the kiss as he filled her.

“God Hermione. It’s been so long.” he moaned.

“I know love.” she groaned.

Slowly Severus began to thrust into her. Hermione eagerly met his thrusts. It had been so long since she and Severus had made love, that she knew nether of them would last long. Hermione began to move her hips faster, trying to give him more encouragement.

“Oh Severus. Let go. Please. Fuck me my husband.” she purred as she sucked on his earlobe.

“As you wish my wife.” he growled.

Severus began to pound into her. Hermione cried out in the thoroughs of passion. Severus was glad he placed a silencing spell on her chambers. He began kissing and nipping at her neck. Hermione moaned and arched into him.

“Severus! Oh yes! Don’t stop!” she cried.

“Never! Oh Hermione!” he moaned.

They were now thrusting harder and faster than ever. Both clutching at each other. Both wanting to reach sweet release together.

“SEVERUS! OOHH! YESSS! YESSS! AAAAHHHH!” Hermione yelled as her world exploded.

“OOOOHHHH! HERMIONE! OH GOD! HERMIONE!” Severus cried as he went ridged above her.

The two collapsed on the bed gasping but satisfied for the moment. With the wave of his hand and they were cleaned. Hermione put back on her nightgown while Severus pulled on his pajama pants. They climbed under the covers and gathered each other in their arms and sighed.

“This baby is going to change our lives.” Hermione whispered.

“Hermione, our baby is a blessing. Everything is going to be just fine.” Severus said softly.

The pair quickly fell asleep. As they slept Severus’s ability of premonition kicked in in his sleep.

*Severus’s Premonition*

Hermione was laying on her back, her face contorted in pain. He could tell she had been crying.

“Severus, help me.” Hermione cried.

Then Remus Lupin’s face came into view. He was brushing a wash cloth along Hermione’s forehead and began talking in a calm soothing voice. The crying of a baby could be heard in the back ground.

“Save your strength Hermione. It’s going to be all right.” Remus said.

“I can’t.” Hermione whispered.

Hermione gave a few ragged breaths then went limp. Her head falling softly to the side. She was dead.

*End Severus’s Premonition*

Severus sat up gasping. The cry of the baby, his and Hermione’s baby echoing in his mind. He was drenched in sweat. He looked at his side and saw Hermione laying the sleeping peacefully. Severus tossed back the covers and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He placed his head in his hands and took a few deep breaths.

Severus got to his feet, grabbed his dressing gown and walked out of the bedroom. Hermione woke up and saw Severus exiting the room. She got up and followed him. She found him standing on the balcony staring at the stars.

“Severus, what is it?” Hermione asked.

“I had a premonition Hermione.” Severus answered.

“Bad?” she asked.

“Yeah. It was about you.” he replied.

“What did you see?” she questioned.

“I saw you in labor. I saw Lupin there and heard our baby. I then saw you dying.” Severus said, his breathing slightly labored.

“Oh Severus. It was just a dream.” she said as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

“I’m not going to lose you Hermione.” he said.

“I know. Let’s go back to bed love.” she replied.

They walked back into the bedroom. Hermione fell asleep once more. Severus stayed awake a little longer and held Hermione tighter and closer than ever. His left hand rubbing circles over her stomach, hoping his vision didn’t come true. Slowly he drifted off to sleep once again.
