Love's Journeys *COMPLETE*

Chapter 23- A Late Honeymoon


Hermione and Severus appeared outside a beautiful beach house. There were roses of every color in a garden off to the left and a grove of trees off to the right. Hermione and Severus entered the house. They placed their bags on the floor next to the door. Inside was absolutely stunning.


“Wow! This place is beautiful.” Hermione gasped.


“I agree. Now, let’s explore the house.” Severus said.


Hermione nodded and hand-in-hand they explored the house for an hour. They found an extensive library, Jacuzzi and sauna, a large dining room, cozy living room and a beautiful and very large master bedroom with a bay window and gorgeous view of the water behind the house.


“Now, what do you think of this bedroom Mrs. Snape?” Severus asked wrapping his arms tightly around his wife’s waist.


“I love it. The bed looks rather inviting, don’t you think?” Hermione sighed as she leaned against his chest.


The bed was a king-size four poster with sheer ivory colored drapes that encircled the bed. Hermione spun around in his arms and pulled him down to kiss him passionately and softly. Severus kissed back and tightened his hold on her. They began moving back toward the bed. Severus reached up and pushed the bed curtains away and they tumbled down onto the bed. Hermione crawled back onto the bed while Severus drew the drapes around the bed. Using his wand he magically caused their clothes to disappear.


Severus climbed up her body gently rubbing his hands along her body as he did. Their lips caught each other in a soul searing kiss. Hermione threaded her fingers in his hair. Severus’s fingers were tangled in her brown locks and holding her neck. They pulled away only when their lungs screamed for oxygen. Severus looked down at his panting wife underneath him.


“Now, I want you to lay back and enjoy what I’m about to do to you. Oh, and roll onto your stomach.” Severus whispered.


Hermione shivered at the sound of his velvety voice and complied with his demand. Severus flicked his wrist and a bottle of lavender smelling massage oil. He removed the lid a poured some into his hands. Rubbing his hands together he moved down to where Hermione’s feet were. Severus began to rub his oil covered hands over her delicate feet. Slowly rubbing them firmly over each toe and her heel. He moved up one long slender leg. Gliding his fingers in gently circles as he went. When he reached the point where her leg attached to her round bottom he moved to her other leg.


“Mmmm. That feels good.” Hermione moaned as Severus’s soft fingers slid over her smooth legs.


“I’m glad you like it my dear. There’s more where that came from.” Severus whispered.


He slid his hands up over her firm round bottom. Hermione sighed at the feel of his hands on her derriere. Up his hands moved to the small of her back. Firmly he pressed his fingers into her tanned skin. Hermione sighed as Severus’ soft fingers caressed her skin. Her body was immediately relaxed as well as being quickly turned on by the feel of his hands on her body. Severus by now had reached her upper back and shoulder blades. He massaged her shoulders, brushing her hair away from the skin as he did. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss against the exposed skin at the nape of her neck.


“Turn over.” Severus breathed into her ear.


Hermione rolled onto her back. Her eyes were glazed over as she watched her husband move down her body to work on her feet once more. He paused to add more oil to his hands. He once more massaged her toes and foot then up one leg. Hermione whimpered as he bypassed the apex of her legs and moved to work on her other leg. As he passed over her thigh she squirmed in anticipation. Once more he bypassed her junction. Severus smiled wickedly as he saw the pure lust in her eyes.


Severus continued to move his hands upward. Over the curve of her hips, over her flat taunt stomach, then up to her left breast. He heard Hermione sigh as he took hold of her breast and gently kneaded and caressed her left breast. He then moved over to her right. Hermione was in pleasure heaven. She desperately wanted his lips and tongue on her but had to settle for his hands and fingers. Severus moved his hands over her shoulders and up to her neck.


“Did you enjoy that my dearest wife?” Severus asked huskily.


“Yes. But I want more my dear, sweet, loving husband. Much more.” Hermione answered seductively.


He raised one black eyebrow at her as she leaned up and pressed her lips to his. Slowly she slid her tongue across his lips asking for entrance. He quickly granted her that entrance. Their tongues began an erotic dance that was all their own. Severus laid his body atop of hers. The feel of her beautiful body under his, the delicate aroma of the lavender mixed in with her own scent was overloading his senses. He wanted her to consume him.


“Hermione, I love you. So much.” Severus sighed.


“I love you too Severus. Make love to me. Make us one.” Hermione whispered into his ear.


Severus slid his hand down her body to her womanhood. She was wet and ready for him. He slipped two fingers into her slowly. She moaned deeply as she arched her body into his. Once she was ready he slid his cock deep and slowly into her.


“Oh Merlin’s robes! You are so tight Hermione.” He groaned into her neck.


“Severus!” Hermione sighed as she felt him slide inch by inch into her.


Once buried to the hilt he stayed still. Just savoring the feel of her tight passage wrapped tightly around his throbbing length. After a minute they began to move slowly as one. Their lips came together once more. The kiss was slow, gentle and sensual.


“Severus…you are…so…good to me.” Hermione gasped as his lips traveled down her neck.


“Oh Hermione.” Severus growled as her legs wrapped themselves around his waist, trapping him tightly against her body.


Their bodies began rocking together as one. Hermione’s fingers slid over his shoulders, down his back and took hold of his ass. Pressing him further into her. Severus was in heaven. Pumping in and out of her when he felt her lock up around him.


“Severus!” Hermione cried.


Severus still his movements and waited for her climax to wash over her. Once she relaxed in his arms he began moving once more. Quickly he rolled the over to where she was on top. Severus reached up and took hold of her breast as she began to ride him.


“Oh Hermione. My goddess. You are so good.” Severus moaned as he threw his head back against the pillow.


“Severus. You feel so good. So hard…and deep…Ooohhh…inside me.” Hermione gasped.


Hermione leaned down and captured his lips. Their tongues tangled with each others. His soft hands moved up her body to tangle themselves in her hair. Both groaning into the kiss.


“Hermione…get on your…knees. Please.” Severus pleaded.


Hermione moved off him and got to her knees. Severus moved behind her and slid deeply into her from behind.


“Severus!”


“Hermione!”


At this new angle Severus was able to get in deeper than before. Hermione reached up and took hold of the headboard. Severus began kissing on her neck and shoulders. Hermione leaned against his firm chest. She turned her face toward his and their lips locked once more.


“Oh Merlin…Hermione, I’m…so…close. Tell me…Ooohhh…your…close.” Severus begged into her ear.


“Yes! God Severus…Harder…deeper…I’m so close. PLEASE!” Hermione cried.


Severus began to slam into her harder and as deep as he could. Their cries of passion mingled, the aroma of the love making filled the room.


“HERMIONE!” Severus screamed as he spilled his seed deep inside her.


“SEVERUS!” Hermione screamed as she locked up around him and felt his seed shoot into her.


They both leaned against the headboard to regain their breath. Finally Severus pulled out of her, causing them both to groan. They curled under the satin sheets, wrapped in each other’s arms and drifted off to sleep.


************************************************************************


Draco Malfoy was fuming. “Damn! Where did that traitor and that damned mudblood go! After that article, surely he would not be allowed to leave.” He had opened the window to check on them but could find them nowhere. Not in London, Not Hogwarts, not Hogsmeade, not even at Diagon Alley. It was like they had disappeared off the face of the planet. “You can’t hide forever. I will find you both. And when I do, Severus, you’ll watch as your dear little whore bleeds to death in front of your eyes. Then, it will be your turn.” Draco sneered as he began searching for them one last time.


************************************************************************


It was a beautiful sunrise. Severus lay in bed holding his sleeping wife tightly in his arms. ‘Finally, no more hiding our marriage or our feelings around each other. Plus we have the love and support of 9 of the greatest friends we could ever ask for. How did I get so lucky? I have the world’s greatest and most beautiful wife. Along with 9 of the greatest friends I could ever ask for. Even though 4 of them are students, they are still the best.’ Severus thought. He leaned down and kissed Hermione’s forehead.


Hermione began to stir. Her eyes opened and she saw the most wonderful sight in the world. Her husband looking down at her. His eyes shining with love and adoration.


“Morning Mr. Snape.” She said smiling,


“Morning yourself Mrs. Snape.” Severus replied grinning.


They stayed there in each other’s arms for about an hour. Then an owl flew through the opened window and dropped a copy of the Daily Prophet in their laps then flew away. Hermione quickly opened it to the front page.


HOGWART’S TEACHER CLEARED OF ACCUTATIONS BY MINISTRY OF MAGIC.


Severus Snape was accused of coercing seventh year Hermione Granger into marrying him. After a hearing yesterday headed up by Minister of Magic Arthur Weasley Severus Snape has been cleared of all charges.


“I wish to offer my sincerest apologies to Severus Snape and his wife Hermione Granger Snape. The two were married over New Year’s but of their own free will.” Arthur Weasley was quoted at the Ministry of Magic yesterday after the hearing.


The Daily Prophet wishes to apologize as well for running the story without having all the facts in. This reporter was present for the hearing yesterday. After witnessing the action between the couple it was proven that they are very much in love and very happy.


It has also come to our attention that one Draco Malfoy has been targeting the couple. It has been reported that Malfoy has kidnapped and almost killed Hermione Snape. He has been after the couple since school started. We here at the Daily Prophet are asking for the public’s help. If anyone out there has seen or knows where Draco Malfoy is please alert the Ministry of Magic at once. He is extremely dangerous.


On a final note I would personally like to wish the best of luck to Mr. and Mrs. Severus Snape. May they have a bright and happy future.

“I can’t believe it! No more hiding our marriage or our feelings!” Hermione squealed as she threw her arms around his neck.


“I know. Finally we can have a normal marriage. Plus hopefully the public will help and we will be able to find Draco.” Severus sighed as he hugged his wife.


The Snape’s slipped into robes and headed for the dining room. They found a delicious breakfast waiting for them. They sat down and ate in a comfortable silence. Once breakfast was finished they dressed in swim suits and headed out to the water for a morning swim. They swam, played and flirted. By late afternoon they were laying on a hammock under the shade of the grove of trees.


“I don’t want to go back tomorrow.” Hermione said sadly.


“I know. I wish we could stay here, but we have to go back.” Severus sighed.


That night they made love clear up till dawn. Their love making wasn’t only confined to the bedroom. They tried the Jacuzzi, the sauna, the living room, the water and even the garden.


************************************************************************


“Hermione, wake up love. We have to leave.” Severus whispered as he tried to rouse his sleeping wife.


“Hhmm. Just five more minutes." Hermione mumbled.


“We have to go. Let’s get a shower and then head back.” Severus said.


“Alright. Alright. I’m up.” Hermione grumbled.


She climbed out of bed and together they made their way into the large bathroom. Under the jets of the warm shower they made love again. Once they climbed out of the shower they dried each other off.


“I’m so going to be walking funny for a week.” Hermione said.


“I know my dear wife is not complaining.” Severus teased.


“No. I’m just going to be receiving some really funny looks next week. Especially sitting on those seats in the classrooms.” Hermione said smiling back at him.


They dressed and packed their things. At around 4 in the afternoon they both took hold of the seashell and said, “There’s no place like Hogwarts.” In an instant they were transported to Albus’s office.


“Welcome back. Did you enjoy your vacation?” Albus asked.


“Yes. The island is beautiful. So was the house.” Hermione answered.
