A few weeks later Hermione was once again hold up in the library reading book on magical pregnancies. She had taken it upon herself to do the proper research she knew Helaine wouldn’t even think about doing. She was so immersed in the book she was reading that she didn’t hear someone walk up behind her.



Severus Stood behind her for a while just watching her little movements as she read. He wondered to himself how he never noticed how beautiful she was before. Whatever the reason behind his misjudgment it didn’t matter now he wanted her and he would have her. He crept up behind her a little more until her could feel the warmth of her body through his clothes. Hermione nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt his warm hands on her bare shoulders.



She spun around sharply ready to yell at whomever it was that scared her, only to come up short when she saw it was Severus. He stared at her flushed face for a moment and smiled. He loved the way she would light up whenever she looked at him.



“Bloody hell Severus you scared me.” She said in breathless amusement. He didn’t respond, he just pulled her closer and took a breath of her sweet floral scent. He needed her close, he felt alive when he held her like this. He hadn’t felt something like this for another person in so long that the very notion of loving her scared and excited him all at once. After a while he pulled away but not before he nuzzled her neck with the tip of his nose.



Hermione shivered at the contact; whenever he touched her she felt as if all her nerves were exposed. It took her breath away when he would stare at her with a look full of promise and desire. Before she knew what was happening Severus had lifted her off her feet and placed her on top of the table. Their lips meet in a passionate and hungry kiss. Hermione felt her head start to spin so she pulled away; she smiled at Severus’ slightly flushed cheeks.



“Well hello to you Severus.” Hermione said with a giggle. He smiled at her not releasing his hold on her.



“Sorry about that, you just looked so good I couldn’t resist.” He told her. Hermione blushed and looked away. She turned back to look at him when she felt Severus’ fingers under her chin coaxing her head up.



“Your beautiful Hermione don’t ever forget that.” He told her before he claimed her lips again. This kiss was different it was still passionate but there was a small hint of something different; an emotion neither of them could recognize.



Before long Severus couldn’t take any more. He needed to feel her skin to touch her everywhere and anywhere he could. He quickly did away with the ties that held her dress closed, exposing her creamy skin. He gazed hungrily at her pert breasts. He lowered his head and nipped at the skin on her collar bone.



Hermione gasped and wrapped her legs around Severus’ waist pulling him even closer. Her head fell back as he continued his ministrations. Hermione felt her arousal increase tenfold. She grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him back up to her lips. She kissed his lips, gently biting his lower lip; he moaned into her mouth. Hermione needed more; she needed to feel his skin against hers.



Hermione began to unbutton his shirt, quickly becoming frustrated by the numerous buttons. She gripped the fabric of his shirt in her hands and pulled scattering buttons everywhere. Severus growled at her forcefulness and kissed her harder. Just as he was about to rid Hermione of the annoying bra that was in his way he heard Bellatrix calling from the other end of the library. He quickly pulled away and cast a few charms that righted their clothes and fixed their hair. Hermione looked at him confused until she heard her aunt’s voice.



“Well it seems we are interrupted yet again. Meet me tonight in my quarters, we can finish where we left off.” He told her before he disappeared behind one of the book shelves.



Hermione jumped down from the table just as Bellatrix rounded the corner. She looked over at her aunt trying to look as innocent as possible. Bellatrix looked around the little space for a moment as if she were confused.



“Is everything alright Aunt Bella?” Hermione asked. Bellatrix turned to her with a frown.



“Who else was in here with you? I thought I heard you talking to someone.” Bellatrix asked. Hermione had to fight to keep the blush from showing on her cheeks.



“It has just been me in here all afternoon. Well come on I’m starving.” Hermione grabbed Bella’s hand and pulled her out of the library.



Meanwhile in another part of the castle Tom was sitting in his study going over some reports from his death eaters. His eyes had begun to feel heavy and the words on the parchment where blending together. He put the paper work aside and settled back into his chair and before he knew he had dosed off to sleep.



When Tom opened his eyes he was still in his study. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Suddenly there was a loud knocking on the door. Tom got up and walked over to it ready to curse whoever was on the other side. His subordinates knew not to disturb him while he was working. When he pulled open the door he saw Severus standing there looking worried his hands were covered in blood.



“My lord it is time Helaine is having the baby.” Severus told him. Tom paused for a moment, this couldn’t be right he thought it was too soon for her to have the child. Without another word he a Severus left the study and raced for his bedroom.



When he entered the room the scene before him made his heart stop and his blood run cold, there was blood everywhere. He looked toward the bed and what he saw nearly killed him. Helaine was lying there covered in blood and pale as a ghost, he knew she was dead. He was on auto pilot as he walked over to the bed; he sank down on his knees and pulled her lifeless body close to him. He let out a cry so full of anguish that the heavens themselves wept for him. He screamed until his voice ran out all the while holding on to Helaine.



Tom awoke with a start; he was still in his study. He was panting and covered in sweat. He let his head fall into his hands to wipe away the weariness. This was the second nightmare he had and they were getting worse. He hadn’t told Helaine about them because he didn’t want to worry her. He knew the dreams stemmed from his nervousness about becoming a father, he was determined not to dwell on them.



He got up from his chair and quickly left the study, no longer wanting to be alone. He went straight to his bedroom where he found Helaine curled up by the window with a book. He stood there for a moment just watching her. She was so beautiful and she was his and he would do whatever it took to keep it that way.



“Are you just going to stand there staring at me all night or are you going to come over here and give me a proper hello?” Helaine asked pulling Tom out of his reverie. He smiled and walked over to her claiming her lips in a brief kiss. He gathered her up in his arms and kissed the top of her head. Yes he thought he would do whatever it took to keep her.
