Echoes of the Soul

Hermione woke slowly and gingerly moved her arms.



‘Oh gods….’ She groaned. They were killing her. She looked around the room. Severus wasn’t there. She lay still, gently rubbing her shoulders and carefully moving onto her back.



Severus opened the door and peeped around it. When he saw she was awake he approached the bed and looked at her.



‘Good morning.’ He smiled softly.



Hermione looked at him. ‘Hi.’ She said, but she didn’t smile at him. She was in agony and it was all his fault.



Severus reached into a small drawer in the locker by the bed. He pulled out a small phial and handed it to her. ‘Drink this. It’s for the pain.’



Hermione didn’t question him, she just unstoppered the bottle and drank it down in one. Gratefully she felt the pain disappear and she smiled at him as she handed him back the phial.



‘Thank you Severus.’ She looked at him and their eyes met. Hermione glowed as she saw the love he felt for her in that one glance and she held her arms open to him. Relief washed over his face as he lay beside her, resting his head on her breasts gently. Hermione stroked his hair, letting her fingers trail through the silky strands. She pondered the previous night and how he had been with her. She knew he must have seen some awful things as a Deatheater and that perhaps that had fired his imagination a little. She was more concerned about her own reaction. She had totally loved it, giving up control to him. Despite the pain she had actually enjoyed being tied up too. She blushed at the memory of it.



Severus took her hand in his and stroked her fingers gently. She had surprised him last night. If she had been extremely distressed he would have let her go immediately but he knew, could see on her face, that she enjoyed it. He had never fucked a witch so willing, so able to come for him. It was love, he knew it, that deep bond, that utter trust in another person, so she was able to give herself to him completely and still love him afterwards. He was in awe of what they shared.



Severus kissed her hand gently. ‘I love you, Hermione.’ He whispered.



‘Show me…’ She said softly.



Severus raised his eyes to hers. She was burning with passion for him, the memory of the previous night had her wet, her pussy throbbing.



‘Are you sure? I thought you would be exhausted.’ He murmured.



‘I need you, Severus.’ She stated simply.



Severus divestoed his clothing and climbed into bed, pulling her close and kissing her tenderly. Her tongue sought his and probed gently as she sighed and pushed her breasts against his chest. Severus ran his hand along her back and cupped her buttocks, his fingers slipping between her legs and dipping slowly into her sex. She was literally dripping and he gasped at how ready she was for him. He rolled her onto her back and kissed her neck, moving softly to her breasts, laving her nipples with his tongue and feeling her shudder. Slowly, he slipped his thick length into her, hearing her gasp and then sigh with pleasure. He laid himself on top of her and began to move slowly, keeping his thrusts soft, not want to penetrate her too deeply. Hermione clamped her pussy around him and moaned as she felt him brush her clit with each stroke. Gods this felt good.



Severus moved a little faster, the soft caresses of her wet sheath were driving him insane as he pushed his purple head in and out of her vagina. She was tight and hot and the whimpering noises she had started to make were sending him beyond any way of controlling his body. This witch wanted him and he had never felt so desired.



‘Gods Hermione… I’m so close. Come with me, my love…’ he rasped at her as he felt himself start to stiffen.



Hermione was bucking her hips upwards and lifted her knees to grip his thighs. They rocked in harmony, slowly at first then increasing the pace. Severus threw his head back and pushed himself into her fully, restraining himself form ramming her hard into his bed, which was what his body was craving for.



Hermione cried out. ‘Oh Severus! Now…come now!’ She shouted and shook violently under him, pushing upwards with the force of her orgasm and forcing him deeper into her willing quim.



‘Oh gods, Yessss…..!’ Severus exploded inside her, his buttocks quivering and his thighs shaking, his back bucking as if he was riding an unruly horse as he emptied every last drop of his orgasm inside her. He gasped at the intensity, his eyes closed as he stayed inside her. She wrapped her arms around him and held his head to her breasts.



‘I love you too, Severus…so much.’ She sighed and he smiled against her flesh. He kissed her gently and moved his head to her mouth, probing her soft wet orifice a little before pulling away and rolling off her.



He gazed at her for a second and smiled. ‘I’ll be right back, my love.’



Hermione smiled as he climbed out of bed and walked naked from the room. He was tall and slim and from behind, she could see the clearly defines muscles in his buttocks, his slim waist and his tight, strong shoulders broadening a little. He was so gorgeous and no one would ever see him like this but her. She felt very smug suddenly and started to laugh to herself. How lucky was she?



Severus returned carrying a large tray piled high with breakfast. Hermione grinned and sat up in the bed, hooking the bedclothes tightly under her arms. He laid the tray beside her and threw on his shirt and boxers before sitting by her feet.



‘I think we need to replace some energy.’ He smiled at her.



‘I am so hungry, I could eat a hippogriff…’ she grinned at him and grabbed a plate, piling it with pancakes, strawberries and some natural yoghurt.



‘You need to keep up your vitamin intake too so I added a vitamin phial to your pumpkin juice.’ He took a plate and started to eat.



‘Does sex deplete your body of vitamins then?’ She asked him, her eyes wide as she waited eagerly for more knowledge. Severus stared at her. She hadn’t remembered she could be pregnant. His face fell.



‘You just need the vitamins, Hermione.’ He stated and she shrugged. ‘Eat up; I want to show you something. Oh, yes… you dropped this last night too.’ He handed her Albus’s book.



‘Oh my god! I totally forgot about that! That’s why I came back last night, I wanted to show you this… I couldn’t believe it…..’ Hermione grabbed the book and opened it at a marked page, handing it to Severus.



His face blanched a little. This book had been disillusioned by some very powerful magic. He examined it slightly and noticed Albus’s handiwork and grinned. Not such a slow old man, he knew Hermione would believe anything provided it was in a book. He began to read the page she had marked. The paragraph detailed the story of Selene and Annalin and their parents Iydella and Rasari. It was cleverly done, inserted between paragraphs about children remembering events from past lives and the scientific study of soul travel and reincarnation. Most of the book was probably rubbish, but the chapter about Selene and Annalin was almost verbatim the story Albus had told Severus, minus the need for a child to seal the deal. Severus put the book down and smiled at her.



‘Oh.’ He said.



Hermione looked at him. ‘Oh? Is that all you can say? We have been having dreams about these people and now I find out they really existed and all you can say is OH?’



Severus looked at her amused, then waited. It didn’t take her long.



‘You KNEW!’ She cried out. ‘You knew, all along, but you didn’t tell me!!’



‘You wouldn’t have believed me.’ Severus answered her softly. ‘And I didn’t know all along. Albus told me a few days ago.’



‘Albus? He knows about the dreams? Oh my god…’ Hermione blushed deep scarlet.



Severus chuckled. ‘I think Albus is the reason we had the dreams, or Fawkes was anyway…’



Hermione stared at him. ‘Tell me everything, don’t leave anything out. Otherwise that little ‘tie me up and fuck me’ session will be your last, Severus Snape!’ She spat at him.



Severus stared at her. He was scared she meant it and he had plans in that area. ‘Fine. Get yourself comfortable, this may take a while…’



***



The remains of their breakfast sat untouched on the tray on the floor. Severus had his arms around Hermione as she laid her head against his chest. Tears were falling down her face and he stroked her hair softly.



‘Are you OK my love?’ He murmured.



‘I think so. A little overwhelmed. I can’t believe we were searching for all those years and it’s taken until now to find each other. I always knew there was something missing in my life, Severus. And all along, it was you.’



‘I feel the same. When you were my student, I always felt myself drawn to you and couldn’t understand it. Now I know why.’ He kissed the top of her head gently. Hermione snuggled closer to him and smiled.



‘Can you cope with more revelations, witch?’ he asked her softly. She needed to know everything.



‘There’s more?’ Hermione gasped.



‘This is different. Get in the shower and wash that amazing smell of sex off yourself, then come and meet me in the lab.’ Severus kissed her once and left the room, taking the tray with him.
