CHAPTER 28: Evening Appointments







Severus looked over at the clock sitting on the corner of his desk and the corner of his mouth lifted. He began counting the seconds as the second hand ticked towards eight o’clock. Every evening at exactly eight, she would visit him. He set his quill down and leaned back in his chair. Just as he knew she would, she came bounding through the door at exactly eight o’clock.







She slammed the door behind her and hurried across his office to plop herself unceremoniously in his lap and wave a piece of parchment at him excitedly. Severus wrapped his arms around the agitated witch.







“You could try knocking, I could have been in with a student or overseeing a detention you know.” He groused. “And what is that infernal piece of parchment you are waving about?” He asked, snatching it from her hands and reading over it.







“I aced my N.E.W.T.s!” She said excitedly. “I got the highest marks in over fifty years! And the headmaster offered me a job assisting in the library for next term. Do you know what that means?”







“You will actually be spending all of your time in the library now?” He asked sarcastically as he laid her scores on his desk and bent his head to brush his lips over hers. “I am proud of you, Hermione, though I had no doubt you would excel.”









“Severus, I get to stay at the school…I wont have to find somewhere to live, I can stay here and I can be with you.” She said happily, her arms tightening around his neck. “We don’t have to be separated again.”









“I never planned for us to be.” He said softly. “However you will need to tell the headmaster that your services will only be available on a part time basis.” He said.







“Why is that?” She asked, pulling back to look at him in confusion.









“You will be attending University and will need time for classes and your studies, as well as time for me.” He said, shoving her unruly curls back over her shoulder.









“Severus, my parents are gone and so is my ability to afford University.” She said sadly.









“I am not the poor man I once was, Hermione. Years of careful spending, investing and successful research into various potions has left me in a rather favorable position financially. I will be covering your tuition and expenses.” He said.







“No, I can’t let you do that, Severus, it isn’t right.” She said as she tried to slip from his lap. “It will cause people to gossip…”









“People be damned, Hermione. You will be attending University in the fall and no one will say anything about it. There is nothing wrong with a man paying for his wife to further her education.” Severus slid his hand to the back of her neck.







“What will people think…” She stopped suddenly and gasped. “Wait…did you just say wife?” She asked, her eyes wide.









“I did.” He said. “I believe I told you I would marry you after graduation.”









“But that was then; you were trying to get me to stay with you!” She said, her eyes filling with tears. “You really want to marry me?”









“As soon as possible if you will have me.” He said. “But before you answer, think about it. Your friends will not be happy and yes, there are going to be a lot of people who will take issue with us given I was your teacher and am technically old enough to be your father. I will not get any younger, this face and this body will continue to age, Hermione. Before you answer me, think about whether you can handle all that comes with agreeing to be my bride. It is fine if you feel you are too young to be a wife, I will wait.”









“My friends will get over it and others can kiss my arse and shove their opinions. I love you. I thought you beautiful as a boy, I think you beautiful now and I know I will still feel the same fifty years from now.” She said, her eyes filled with love and happiness. “If it were anyone else I would say I was too young, but that is only because I know with everything I am that it is you I am meant to be with. Yes, I will marry you, just tell me when.”









“You will want to plan a ceremony….” He stopped when she began to shake her head.









“Nothing big, just us, maybe a few guests….small and simple and soon.” She kissed him softly and smiled, her body trembling as she was filled with a euphoria she could not contain. “So we are…betrothed?”









Severus gave a soft laugh and reached into his top desk drawer for a small velvet pouch. He untied the little strings and tipped it over until a small gold band, elegantly engraved with a glittering diamond set on it, fell into his palm. He slid it onto her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it softly.







“Nearly ten years after you left, my mother became ill. She gave this to me, it belonged to my grandmother Prince…she told me to find you and give it to you when I made you my bride. I couldn’t bring myself to obliviate her memory of you either, and she stood by her belief that you were the only one for me. I am sorry that she could not be here to see that she was right.” He said, wiping the tears that spilled down her cheeks.









“I’m sorry too, I adored your mother.” She said softly. “What about…him?” She asked, her face twisting in disdain.









“Dead shortly after I blocked him from the house.” He said. “Hermione, I promise you I will never raise a hand to you in anger, I swear it on my very soul.”









“The thought never crossed my mind.” She said, smiling down at him. “What about our children?”









“Children? Do you want children?” He asked.









“Not right away, but yes, I would love to have a family with you.” She bent her head and nibbled on his ear. “I can’t wait to start practicing.”









“Hell, you are trying to kill me aren’t you?” He muttered. “I will be nothing like my own father, I promise you that.”









“Good…kiss me.” She breathed against his lips. He tightened his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her to him as he kissed her softly, their lips meeting, parting slightly as their tongues touched then danced sensuously together. Her fingers began to deftly unfasten the buttons on his coat, then the shirt beneath until she was able to slide her hands inside to smooth over his hot flesh.









“You are trying my patience witch.” He growled when her fingertip skimmed his nipple and he felt a jolt run down his spine. She let her lips glide over his chin and along his jaw, down the tight line of his throat to suck softly at the pulse pounding at the base. She could feel him, hard and eager beneath her bottom, his hands moving down her back to knead her bum as she shifted in his lap. She stood slowly and Severus looked up at her, confused and a little disappointed to lose the contact with her.







She pushed her foot between his and tapped his ankle slightly with her toe encouraging him to open his legs as she stepped between them. She removed her robe and dropped it to the floor in front of her just before she fell to her knees upon it.







Black eyes glittering with passion stared down at her as she slid her hands up his thighs, kneading gently before she finished with the buttons on his coat and shirt. She shoved the fabric aside and stared at his stomach appreciatively. It wasn’t as hard as it was when he was young, but it was still tight and well defined. He was still very much a wizard in his prime and she was hungry for him. She knew he wouldn’t agree to make love before she graduated but she needed him, needed the intimate connection, the pleasure they could share.









Severus knew he should stop her, she would graduate the following day and he would no longer be restrained by his morals, she would be his for the taking and he planned on taking her over and over and over again. Thank the gods it would be summer break. He intended to be locked up inside his house with the witch for days. All thoughts of calling her to a halt vanished when she leaned forward and pressed her open mouth to the front of his trousers and blew, her hot breath washing over him in a teasing caress beneath the fabric.









She heard him growl and immediately she set to work on the fastenings of his trousers. She whimpered in frustration as she worked his clothes past his hips and freed his erection from its confinement. She wrapped her fingers around him and ran her tongue over her lips, wetting them as she leaned forward and without warning slid her mouth over him.







“Son of a….” Severus hissed, his body curling up and over her, his hands tangled in her hair. He expected a few tentative kisses, gentle swipes of her tongue and the light stroke of her hand; he had not been prepared to be engulfed in the tight, wet heat of her mouth. She sucked him hard, her mouth sliding along his length as she bobbed her head over him. “Damn you….so good…” He groaned, he tightened his hold on her hair and began to thrust into her mouth gently, careful not to gag her. “I won’t last…” He growled, his body beginning to shudder when she doubled her efforts, sucking him harder, taking him deeper, her hand rolling his balls gently. “Hermione….I’m going to come…” he said in warning, giving her the chance to release him. She opened her mouth wide and took him as deeply as she could before closing her lips tight around him and sucking for all she was worth. With a hoarse shout he convulsed, shooting inside her throat again and again as he shook with the force of it.









She continued to lick and suck gently on him until he slumped back in his chair. His hands released their nearly painful hold on her hair as she tucked his now softening penis back into his clothes and climbed up into his lap. She pressed her face into the side of his throat as he stroked her back, his eyes closed. After a few minutes he shifted, forcing her to look up at him. He stared into her eyes, his thumb brushing over her bottom lip.









“You are better than I recalled.” He said, causing her to laugh.









“You never let me do it much before.” She said. “You were always too impatient to get inside me to let me do it. I like it you know…taking you in my mouth…it excites me.”









“Is that so?” He asked. Severus swiveled the chair around to his desk and the corner of his mouth quirked in a tiny grin. “I seem to recall a treatment for that condition…a favorite of yours if I remember correctly.” He said, lifting her onto the edge of his desk. She chewed on her bottom lip as she watched him push her skirt up. “You know I can see straight up your skirt in class.” He said, running his fingers over the damp crotch of her light green knickers. “The best part of my day is when I get to discover just what color your knickers are.” He said as he pulled the material aside and looked at her glistening, swollen sex. The sweet scent of her arousal reached him and his mouth began to water. He traced the smooth slit with his index finger, parting her and spreading the slick fluid gathering there in her excitement. She bucked against him when he brushed over her clit and he pressed into her belly with his other hand to hold her still.









“Severus…” She whimpered his name and he smiled then slid his finger inside her tight passage causing her to groan loudly.









“Tomorrow. Tomorrow you graduate and I can have you.” He whispered harshly and slid another finger alongside the first then began to thrust them in and out of her. She moaned and fell back onto the desk, her head rolling back and forth over the surface as he stroked her. The wet, sucking sounds of his fingers sliding through her sex were embarrassing yet exciting at the same time. “Right here is where I want to be.” He said, flexing his fingers. “This is where I belong.” He sat back in his chair and moved forward. He removed his fingers and placed his hands on the backs of her thighs, pushing them up and out, opening her wide to his gaze. “So fucking pretty.” He growled just as he leaned forward placed his open mouth against her aroused flesh.









She cried out sharply, her back bowing as he licked and sucked without quarter. His tongue moved over her and thrust inside her as she writhed against his mouth.







“Hold your legs.” He lifted his head briefly to order. She grabbed the back of her knees and did as he said, nearly screaming when he used one hand to part her folds and the other to fill her opening with his fingers. He sucked on the turgid bud of her clit and thrust his fingers inside her, twisting them with each stroke until her thighs began to tremble and she screamed in her pleasure. Her entire body shook with the force of it. Severus eased off of her, unwilling to part from her until the last little quiver had faded.







She was stretched out on his desk, panting, sweating, and exhausted. Severus righted her clothing and pulled her into his arms, cradling her against his chest as he settled back into his chair. She sighed, trembling with the aftershocks of her pleasure. Severus couldn’t help the smug grin on his face as he turned and kissed her forehead.







“Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.” He whispered. “But for now, you need to get back to Gryffindor tower, it is nearing curfew.”









“How do you propose I manage that now that you have stolen my ability to walk?” She groaned in protest and wiggled in his arms. Severus gave her backside a hard swat and released her, pushing her from his lap.









“Get out.” He chuckled. “Get some rest, because you will not be resting for some time after tomorrow.” He said, reaching into his drawer and shoving a phial of pink liquid into her hand. “Drink this before you go to bed.”











“What is it?” She asked.









“Contraceptive potion, we were dangerously irresponsible previously and it is a miracle you didn’t conceive. I want you to myself for awhile witch, so drink the potion.” He said.







She smiled and pulled the stopper then swallowed the sickeningly sweet potion in one sip. She licked her lips then handed him the empty phial.









“Goodnight, Severus.” She whispered, pressing into his front and kissing his chin. “Sweet dreams.”









He watched her walk out of his office, her discarded robe draped over her arm and allowing him to admire the gentle rocking of her hips as she moved. He fell back into his chair, sated yet still hungry for her. A feral smile began to spread, just a few more hours and she was all his.
