Chapter 22
“Mama,” Sebastian called as he slowly walked towards Hermione with both hands on the couch, supporting himself.
Hermione smiled at Sebastian with her arms out stretched out to him beckoning him to come towards her. “Come to Mummy Bastian.”
Sebastian squealed as Hermione took him in her arms, and hugged him.
“Who’s all walking now on his own?” Hermione asked proudly. She kissed Sebastian on his cheek and ruffled his soft black hair. Soon enough, she let Sebastian stand next to the couch again as he tried at attempt to walk back the other way. Hermione moved herself towards the other end of the couch and watched him walk towards her. She quickly glanced outside the enchanted window and watched the snow fall.
The end of November had arrived sooner than she had expected. Thankfully, there were no Death Eater crimes that had happened since the digging of Voldemort’s grave. However, Hermione was having another problem to deal with, and it was becoming more problematic as time passed.
Ever since that night when he first slept in her bed, there was more times in which he did sleep in her bed. Never though had he slept in her bed alone, with her. She couldn’t help but just imagine how it was to just wake up in his arms.
The longer they lied and pretended to be a couple in front of others, it hurt her. It was like she was living a double lie. Lying to the world with faking a relationship, and then lying to herself, expecting some truth out of the lie when she knew that there was nothing. When she was alone, she would cry by herself, not knowing what to do.

“How are things with Hermione?” Lucius asked as he sat down on one of the chairs in front of Severus’s desk. They were both in Severus’s office right behind the potions classroom.
“Not always good,” Severus sighed as he massaged the bridge of his nose. He just finished teaching a Hufflepuff and Slytherin class, and there was a mishap as always. Just thinking about it was giving him a migraine.
“In what ways?”
Severus leaned back on his chair and looked at Lucius. “I don’t understand it. Sometimes she seems well, and other times, she doesn’t seem well, and distances herself from me. Her behavior has been getting somewhat odd that she even cries.”
“Cries?” Lucius frowned. He didn’t like the sound of that.
“I try to ask her what her problem is, and if she wants to talk to me,” Severus explained. “But nothing. She just says that everything is peachy, and that she’s just emotional.”
“Doesn’t sound like her,” Lucius said as he thought to himself. “Has there been problems that I do not know of? There are no Death Eater issues coming around so she shouldn’t be too troubled over that.”
“I do not know women really,” Severus sighed. “Hermione most of all.”
Lucius smiled at himself when he thought of an idea. “Severus,” he started, “why not take Hermione out and help her get her mind of things? Maybe even cheer her up and take her to her favorite restaurant?”
“Her favorite restaurant?” Severus frowned. She never told him that she had a favorite restaurant. She loved to cook he kenw as she had cooked for them a few times. Never was she picky with her food either, and ate almost everything that was served to her without complaints.
“It’s a French restaurant in South Kensington, not far from the house that I had purchased for her,” Lucius said. After the attack, the house’s damages had been fixed. Never though had Hermione returned or mentioned it to Lucius. He didn’t know what to do with it, but just kept the deed in her name just in case she wanted to keep it. After all, he did but it for her. “They serve superb dishes. She always orders the French onion soup and the rack of lamb there. You’ll have fun, just the both of you.”
Severus raised a brow up and then asked, “Just the both of us?”
“Yes,” Lucius answered. “You might need some quality time. Take this weekend off, and stay at the house if you want. I’ll take care of Sebastian.”
“And just what are you trying to imply?” Severus questioned very slowly.
Lucius shrugged. “Can’t the both of you just spend some time alone, and out of the wizarding world for a while. I know Hermione needs the escape, why not join her? You are saying that she is quite emotional, and is crying. Spending time in South Kensington will do the both of you some good. Bookstores, schools, restaurants, the culture—it’s what the both of you enjoy.”
“You’re playing match maker just like Draco,” Severus said as he narrowed his eyes at his friend.
Lucius just smirked. He’d just been caught red handedly. “You and Hermione are just blind and can’t see what each of you have for each other.”
“We aren’t blind, everyone else is just daft,” Severus countered. “And she doesn’t love me.”
“But you do her?”
“I highly doubt she’ll return her affections to me,” Severus said.
Lucius smiled, “So you’re not denying that you love her.”
“No. I am however denying the fact that she will never return her affections to me. She would never love me after what happened in the beginning.”
“And with what you have formed together since you spent a lot of time together. What of that?”
“It’s just caring Lucius, nothing more,” Severus answered as he shook his head. He didn’t want to talk about the possibilities of them actually being in love and together. It was impossible, and it hurt him the more he thought about it again and again. Thanks to Lucius, he was just making things worse for him.
Lucius stood up and straightened his robes. “I will send the address to you as well as the keys to the home. Give it a try Severus and actually date her. Do not be surprised if she will return your affections because I’m sure she will.”
