The Seaside Retreat

Chapter 24... The Dress

Hermione and Ginny met up at the entrance to the Great Hall and prepared to leave. Naturally the fiery red head took the lead, and checked the list she had compiled of all the shops they should visit that day, determined to take care of almost everything while they were out. At the last minute Hermione had decided to invite Millicent along so she could pick out her dress for the wedding as well. Both girls were thrilled to have been asked to participate in the ceremony, and were willing to do whatever it took to make Hermione the pampered bride to be.

They set out on their excursion chatting the entire way to Hogsmeade, where the first bridal shop was located. Hermione confessed that she would have love to have the boys included in the ceremony, but she didn’t think they would appreciate being “bridesmaids” the girls all laughed at this picturing all of them standing behind Hermione looking awkward in violent purple strapless dresses coming just below the boys hairy shoulders. They each took a moment to rid their head of that particular image, and stepped into the first shop.

Ginny was already marking the shop off her checklist and whispering timelines to Millicent. Hermione took a deep breath and stepped forward to begin rifling through racks and racks of beautiful gown. The salesperson was no where to be found when she had made her selections to try on, and so she left the gowns on the counter and hurried to the next shop with the girls, while Ginny made a note on her list to return there late if she hadn’t found what she was looking for.

They had to floo to the next shop, and after a quick bite to eat at the three broomsticks they were on their way once again. The shop they had flooed into was easily three times the size of the previous store and Hermione quickly headed over to where he size was hanging. She picked out four dresses to try, some very expensive, and within a moment a sales girl was with her, taking the gowns and leading her to a dressing room on a raised platform. The girl showed Hermione the proper garments to wear under each dress and shoved the other two in the room with her so they could help her dress.

The first dress, a beautiful strapless was stunning on her, but the large skirt was a bit overwhelming on her small frame, so she put that one back and looked to the next one. This one both girls had to help her into, because it was skin tight and though it again looked stunning on her, she was sure she would pass out before she got down the aisle from oxygen deprivation. She knew she had only tried on two dresses so far, but Hermione was beginning to wear herself out already, and was infinitely grateful that she at least had magic to help her out of the dresses, she couldn’t imagine doing this the muggle way.

By the second dress in the fifth store Hermione swore she would pick the next gown she tried on, just so she could sit in a chair and watch Ginny and Millicent struggle in bridesmaid’s gown for the next two hours. As if she had read her mind, Millicent stepped up to Hermione with another dress, and a bottle of pepper up potion. After she was assured she could imbibe without endangering the babies, she threw back the potion, changed into the next dress, and feeling infinitely better stepped out of the dressing room in a gorgeous gown with smoke coming out of her ears. Despite the smoke, it was a lovely image and Hermione was instantly sure she had found THE dress.

The dress wad made of an ivory fabric, it felt almost satiny to the touch, but it felt and looked much heavier. It had a small sash across the top which fell off the shoulders, leaving them bare and continued down to her waist in a boned corset style top. The top ended in a v beneath her belly button which seamlessly flowed out to the full skirt and small train at the back. When Hermione turned to the girls with a huge smile she was shocked to see that they both had tears in their eyes. If anything confirmed that she had to have this dress that was it. They brought her choice to the counter and asked the salesgirl to show them similar styles in bridesmaid’s gowns.

Ginny and Millicent each selected several gowns they liked, but in the end Hermione saved them the trouble of arguing over which ones they like best by picking for them. Ginny, as the maid of honor would be wearing a silk gown in pale gold that looked stunning with her hair and complexion. It had a wide scoop neck in front that continued around back, dipping low and stopping just above the swell of her buttocks. The skirt was long and clingy and flowed smoothly over the ground ending in a train a bit shorter then Hermione’s. Millicent’s dress was the same design, but in a beautiful navy blue that made her looked striking with her dark eyes and high cheekbone.

Hermione insisted on buying the girls dresses for them to say thank you for being in her ceremony. The three were ecstatic at having those chores finished, and they decided to grab a drink and a snack before heading the florist and finishing the final arrangements. The girls were all happy to sit and relax for awhile, and Ginny was very happy to be able to cross off a large portion of her list, but when she looked at them time, she threw money on the table for their pumpkin juices and ushered them to the florist for the appointment.

By the time the girls reached Hogwarts, they were all exhausted and Hermione was trying to convince Ginny to go into wedding planning as a career. Their purchases were being flooed to Hermione’s room for safekeeping, so they headed strait to the great hall for dinner laughing and planning all the way.

While dinner was winding down, the seventh years were surprised to see an enormous group of owls heading towards them. When they dropped the letters in front of them, Hermione was stunned to see the ministry seal on them.

“Our NEWT results? Already? Oh Merlin, I thought we would have at least another month to wait, it’s only been a week!” Hermione was clutching her letter tightly and breathing heavily, close to hyperventilating. She didn’t care what she said before about not being worried about her NEWT scores, right now they were all she cared about.

Ginny was the first to respond to her, and answered her questions in a soothing voice while rubbing her back lightly. “Honey, it’s alright. Seventh year students get priority over the fifth year OWL results. Besides, look around, there certainly aren’t as many seventh years as there previously were. That must make everything quicker to grade.”

“Of course, you’re right Ginny. Will…. Will you do me a favor?”

“Absolutely Hermione, just let me know”

And with that Hermione turned her large eyes on Ginny and with a pleading look handed her the unopened letter. Ginny nodded her head in understanding and quickly unrolled the scroll. Her eyes met Hermione’s briefly before she broke into a wide smile and announced she had received an O in everything, and had some of the highest scores in Hogwarts history. She had even beat Severus’ potions score by one point with the extra credit she had received from the examiner. She jumped from the table with a smile, grabbed the letter from Ginny, and headed to her rooms to floo down to Severus and show him her results.

He of course had watched the entire play by play from the head table, along with the other Professors who had all rolled their eyes when they saw her nervously hand the letter to Ginny. As soon as she took off, he excused himself to head back to his rooms, knowing she would be flooing into his rooms soon.

As usual, he was correct and not five minutes after arriving in his quarters, Hermione stepped through the floo. She bounded over to him in three large skips and thrust her letter in his face. Before he could actually read any of the result however, she had thrown herself forward and kissed him soundly then proceeded to inform him of her very lucrative shopping excursion, and that all they had left to do was ready the invitations to be sent out after graduation. When she finally stopped rambling long enough to take a breath Severus jumped on the opportunity and read her results.

He, of course, had no doubts about her abilities, and knew he was in very real danger all along of losing his title at the potions score. He had hoped she would score a tad lower then him, or perhaps tie his score, but alas it wasn’t to be. Oh well, if you can’t beat her, marry her. Still, just for the fun of it, he put on a stern and disbelieving face.

“Miss Granger, haven’t I told you before that I am the boss, the superior if you will, in this relationship. I can’t go around being made a mockery of because my little girl of a fiancée had outscored me in my own field.”

At first Hermione was appalled at his attitude, how dare he talk to her in such a way? She was quite ready to tell him off when she saw the mischievous twinkle in his eyes. It wouldn’t have been noticeable to anyone who didn’t know him well, but she picked up on it quickly and managed to school her features into looking passably remorseful.

“I am so sorry Professor. I don’t know what came over me, it will never happen again.”

“That’s right it won’t, but I don’t really believe you have learned your lesson. I think a punishment is required.” With those ominous words, he casually flicked his wand in Hermione’s direction and had her jeans and blouse changed into her school uniform, though a bit tighter and shorter.

“Oh, so that’s how he wants to play this out, does he” She thought. She stepped timidly forward and sank down to her knees, assuming her “punishment” would be to give him head. His eyes widened slightly for a moment, and he looked terribly tempted to release himself and thrust into her wet little mouth, but surprised her by shaking his head and pulling on her arms roughly to get her to stand again.

“No Miss Granger, as tempting as it is to let you suck me off, that wouldn’t be much of a punishment now would it? I know how wet you get when you have my cock in your mouth. No, No, No, that won’t do at all.” He sat himself of the ottoman and beckoned her to him.

“Now, remove your knickers” when she began to hike her skirt up and pull them down he was quick to chastise her. “No Miss Granger, do it slowly.” When she complied to his demands and slowly and very sexily slid her barely there knickers down her legs and stepped out of them, it took every ounce of his self control not to groan and rub his throbbing cock through the fabric of his trousers.

“Walk to me now, and I want you bend over my lap.” She raised an eyebrow at this demand, but when he looked at her sternly she complied easily enough. She warily lowered herself onto his lap and jumped slightly when she felt his long fingers slide her skirt up around her waist. He slipped one finger inside of her and when he pulled the digit out to find it soaked, he placed it in front of Hermione’s lips and groaned when she took it into her mouth and licked him clean of her juices.

“You are a dirty girl, dirty and too fucking smart for your own good” he growled and brought a flat palm down against her butt cheek. She jumped in the air, but immediately settled back down and tensed, waiting for the next slap. She didn’t have to wait long, as he continued to slap her ass until it glowed red, and finally, when she couldn’t hold it in any longer, Hermione began shaking. The hand immediately stopped, and Severus was quick to find out if he was too rough and had actually hurt her, but before he could raise her off of him, she surprise him. Taking great gulps of air, he was quick to realize she was laughing, not crying and when he quirked an eyebrow at her she responded quickly to the silent question. “I am so sorry for ruining the moment Severus, but all I could think about was saying ‘thank you professor, may I have another?’”

Before she could move he had slapped her ass one last time and replied “yes you may have another, cheeky little witch”. They both laughed, but it was quickly cut off when he slipped his fingers in her wet little slit again. They were both getting warmed up again, when a knock sounded on the door to Severus’ chambers. Groaning in frustration, and beginning to think that tonight wasn’t mean to happen, he rose and crossed to the door to see who his visitor was.

Hermione heard hush voices then silence, and was therefore surprised when Ginny matched into the dungeon rooms and looked to be fuming.

“Um Ginny darling” Hermione started “I don’t mean to be rude, but when I said I was going to show Severus my scores, you knew that was code for I was coming down here to fuck him right?

Ginny looked momentarily abashed before she replied. “I…yes…I did know that, sorry you two, but Harry and I have just been fighting over something incredibly stupid, something about quid ditch, you wouldn’t care, and I needed to go somewhere to fume. Umm, not to play dumb, but you weren’t wearing that uniform when you left dinner.”

Just realizing what she had on, Hermione smile saucily at Severus, who looked more then a bit embarrassed, and responded by turning around and lifting up the back of her skirt, showing Ginny her red bum. Ginny turned to Severus with a naughty little smile, then returned her full attention to Hermione once again.

“Hmm and how did fucking cause your ass to redden? Does Professor Snape need glasses? Did he miss?” By this time Severus was mortified, but figured he would give it a chance to unfold naturally, after all the last time she was here, he was privy to watching two young beautiful girls go at it while he was allowed to fuck one of them.

“No silly, Severus has no problem in that department, I was just getting a detention. The Professor was disappointed that I had beaten his NEWT score in potions, and he gave me a spankin’.”


It was then that Ginny surprise them both by dropping to her knees and giving each one of Hermione’s butt cheeks and open mouthed kiss. She then stood and looked to Hermione with look that Severus had gotten all too familiar with, after all he had taught to Weasley twins for six years.

“Hermione, I don’t think it’s fair that he punishes you for doing so well. I think that you need to show him who’s boss. Maybe we should punish him.”

“Ginny, you are so smart. I don’t think I have ever agreed with you more. Severus” she said sharply and turned to face him “you certainly are in for it now.”

With that said, Severus found himself strapped to the armchair and his clothes mysteriously vanished. He gulped nervously, his Adams apple bobbing, but the strength of his erection belied his willingness to be punished.

The girls were quick to shed their own clothes, and they turned to each other each watching Severus out of the corner of their eyes while they leaned in to kiss. Their tongues dueled, and hands explored fleshy breasts and soft skin. Severus was watching the two of them, mesmerized at the sight of his beloved throwing herself so passionately at another woman. The objects of his fantasies turned towards him and sensually walked over to where he was tied; dropping to their knees and each wrapped a dainty hand around the base of his shaft, pumping him up and down while they kissed.

He honestly wasn’t sure how long he could continue like this, and was sure he would lose it when they began fingering each other and licking his shaft up and down, their tongues occasionally touching. Each took turns sliding him into their mouths and it wasn’t very long before he was thrusting against the bindings once again trying desperately to convey his need to them. They ignored him completely (that must be the punishment part) and continued at their own pace for awhile. Finally they took pity upon him and sped up, sucking him harder while their hands continued to touch each other, though now with more need. He came with a shout, spraying the girls with streams of thick creamy cum.

They released him from his binds and all three scourgified themselves before they dressed. They once again, walked Ginny to the door, who looked as though she was ready to forgive the boy who pissed her off, and walked out the door, turning to the couple at the last minute with a troubled look.

“You know I really enjoy that, but I really should stop. It’s not quite fair to Harry, and I do love him.” Hermione looked alarmed at this statement and was quick to reassure her.

“Ginny Love, we enjoy that too, but we love you and don’t want you to be uncomfterable. Of course it won’t happen anymore, now go to Harry and tell him how much you love him. And for god sakes don’t get into anymore fights over the Chudley Cannons.”
