The Half-Blood Prince and the Pure-Blood

Chapter 4

It had been two weeks since Minerva had found Albus’s journals. She had finally found his pensives. As she watched the pensives, she realized that Severus and Hermione hadn’t betrayed anyone at all. They had simply been following a plan set by Albus.

“Something wrong Minerva?” Albus asked as he drifted into another portrait in the sitting room.

“Why? Why didn’t you tell us what you, Hermione and Severus were planning?” Minerva asked wearily.

“Because we couldn’t. The less people that knew, the safer and easier it would be.” he answered.

“Albus, the entire Wizarding world is searching for them. They are to be tried as traitors when they’re found.” she said.

“That’s why you must take my journals and pensives to Rufus Scrimgeour. As well as show them. You are the only one who can clear them Minerva.” Albus said.

“What makes you think that Scrimgeour will believe me? Even if I were to show him all of this?” she asked.

“Rufus knows, as does anyone else, that pensives can’t be tempered with. Also, my journals are charmed so that only I can write in the,. Plus Rufus will believe you.” he answered.

Minerva sighed. She quickly waved her wand and magically sealed the journals and pensives in one of the cabinets then headed to the Ministry of Magic. She hoped that the pensives and journals would be enough to call of the search for Hermione, Severus and Draco. She made her way to Scrigmeour’s office. She reached the door and knocked.

“Enter!” Rufus called out.

Minerva entered. She found Rufus sitting at his desk scribbling at a piece of parchment. Minerva walked over and sat in one of the chairs across from him and waited patiently.

“Aahh. Minerva, how can I help you?” Rufus asked.

“Hello Rufus. There’s something at Hogwarts I think you should see. It’s important and involves Hermione Granger, well Hermione Canton, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy.” Minerva answered.

This got Rufus’s attention. He sat his quill down and looked up at Minerva. All he did was stare at her. There was complete silence in the room for nearly ten minutes. Finally he spoke.

“What did you find?” he asked.

“I found proof that they aren’t traitors. If you’ll come back to Hogwarts with me, I’ll prove it.” she answered.

Rufus nodded. The two got to their feet then went to the fireplace. They arrived in Minerva’s office a few seconds later. They then proceeded to Albus’s quarters. Minerva unsealed the cabinet and removed the relevant pensives and journals.

For nearly six hours Rufus went through the journals and watched the pensives. Once he was done he simply sat in one of the chairs trying to sort out all he had read and seen. Minerva poured him a glass of Brandy, which he took very gratefully.

“Dear Merlin. We had everything wrong. What do we do?” Rufus asked.

“Rufus, whatever we do, we can not blow their cover. Albus, Hermione and Severus had this planned from the beginning of last year. You must tell the Ministry. Perhaps we could occasional leak out false sightings to the Daily Prophet.” Minerva suggested.

“Yes. That would work. I will call for a meeting of the Wizengamot immediately. I must borrow these. I would like very much if you would be there to show them all what you have showed me today.” Rufus said.

So the next day Minerva and Rufus presented the evidence to the Wizengamot. After six hours, Rufus stood and addressed the court.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as we have all seen and heard, Hermione Canton, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy are innocent. They were simply following a plan that had been put into motion by the late Albus Dumbledore.” Rufus said.

“What do we do?” a witch asked.

“We recall all Aurors. The Daily Prophet must never know until He-Who-Must-Not Be-Named is defeated. Occasionally we shall give the Daily Prophet false sightings of them.” Rufus answered.

“Yes! These three are heroes!” a Wizard called out.

The Wizengamot all began cheering in unison. Minerva left an hour later and hurried to 12 Grimmwauld Place for the urgent Order meeting. Every member was summoned and present. Even Harry who was still searching for the last two Horcruxes.

Minerva wasted no time in showing them as well as reading them Albus’s pensives and journals. Once they had heard and saw everything, the guilt and anger at their quick judgment set in. These emotions hit Harry the hardest.

“I can’t believe I doubted them! Shit! Ron knew!” Harry yelled.

“Harry calm down.” Remus said.

“No! Ron knew what was going on! Or at least part of it! Albus’s journals and pensives proved that!” Harry cried.

“Mr. Potter, calm down. You weren’t the only one at fault. We all were. All we can do is hope they will forgive us.” Minerva said as she placed her hand on Harry’s shoulder.

“What do we do?” Tonks asked.

“I will owl a letter to Hermione and explain everything. I hope it will not endanger them.” Minerva answered.

“It won’t. Right before Ron returned home to the Burro before he died, I caught him hiding a letter when he thought I was asleep. It had to have been from Hermione.” Harry said.

The meeting dispersed. Minerva returned to Hogwarts, quickly wrote a letter to Hermione and Severus, drank a glass of Sherry and then went to bed, falling asleep the second her head hit the pillow.

“No Draco. You don’t add the asphodel until the next step.” Severus said.

“Sorry.” Draco replied.

Draco and Severus were in the basement working on a potion, while Narcissa and Hermione were in the library having tea. Suddenly an owl flew in with a letter. Narcissa removed the letter.

“It’s for you and Severus.” Narcissa replied.

“Thanks.” Hermione said.

She took the letter and opened it. A few minutes later her face broke into a huge smile. She then faced Narcissa.

“Quick, go get Draco and Severus.” Hermione said.

Narcissa got to her feet and hurried to the basement. Draco and Severus had just finished their potion lesson when Narcissa came running downstairs.

“Hermione sent me to get you. She got a letter and she seems happy about it.” Narcissa said.

The three hurried back upstairs to the library. Once everyone was seated Hermione began to read the letter out loud.

“Dear Hermione and Severus,

I have just come from meeting with the Wizengamot and the Order. I have finally found Albus’s journals and pensives. I am so sorry we didn’t believe or listen to your side of the story.

I went to Rufus Scrimgeour. He has officially called off the search for you two and Mr. Malfoy. Of course the Daily Prophet will receive false leads. They won’t know the truth until the war is over.

The Order and I sincerely hope you three can come to Headquarters. We would love to be able to apologize to you in person.

Write in response if you can. Please let us know that you are safe and sound.

Minerva.” Hermione said.

Everyone was silent. No one knew quite what to say. Severus took the letter from Hermione to read for himself. Draco and Narcissa read the letter over Severus’s shoulders. In a little shock themselves.

“Wow. What do we do now?” Draco asked.

“Severus, you’ve known McGonagall longer. What should we do?” Hermione inquired.

“Minerva has always been honest. If she did find Albus’s journals and pensives, then she means just that. Same with wanting to apologize.” Severus answered.

“Then I’ll write her a letter. I’ll tell her that you and I are being summoned in two days. The next day, the four of us will go to Headquarters. Then we can tell them what we know.” Hermione said.

The others nodded. Hermione sat at one of the desks and immediately wrote a response to Minerva. Once finished, she whistled and her owl Artemis landed before her. Hermione gave the owl strict instructions, then watched the owl fly off.

“It’s time we do today’s training.” Severus said.

Two days later Severus and Hermione made their way into Riddle Manor. This meeting was only for the Inner Circle. Hermione took her seat beside Voldemort. Once everyone was gathered, Voldemort spoke.

“My most faithful. We gather today to make plans for our final battle. We will attack two places simultaneously. Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.” Voldemort said.

The Death Eaters began to murmur amongst themselves. Hermione and Severus shared an unnoticed glance. Voldemort called for silence and began speaking once more.

“Myself, Hermione and Severus will head the attack on Hogwarts. Hermione, who should lead the attack on the Ministry?” Voldemort asked.

“Hmm. I think Bellatrix should head the attack. Under her should be Alecto and Amycus.” Hermione answered.

“I agree.” Voldemort said as the three said Death Eaters bowed their heads in appreciation.

The meeting continued for another hour. Finally Hermione and Severus were allowed to leave. It was well after midnight when they returned to the house. Draco and Narcissa were already asleep. The pair quickly made their way to their bedroom at the back of the house.

Once in the darkened room, they were in each other’s arms. Their lips locked in a heated kiss. Hermione withdrew her wand and a few waves later, the room was locked and silenced. The sounds of cloth ripping and landing all around them echoed throughout the room.

“Oh god! Severus!” Hermione moaned as they fell to the bed.

Severus had two fingers thrust deep into her pussy while sucking at her left breast. Hermione thrust her hips against his pumping fingers as she held his head against her.

“Oh Hermione. Your pussy is so wet. You want me. Don’t you?” Severus sighed.

“Yes. Yes I want you.” she sighed as he thrust his fingers harder and faster.

“Tell me what you want Hermione. Tell me now.” he demanded.

“I want your cock! I want that hard, large, beautiful cock buried in my pussy! I want you to fuck me!” she cried as her hips began moving faster.

Severus moved his other hand up and began to finger her clit. Hermione quickly came around his fingers. Before she could even come down from her high, Severus waved his hand. Silk ribbons attacked themselves to her ankles and wrists.

“Oh Severus!” she cried as he immediately thrust into her.

“Hermione! Sweet Jesus!” he growled as his cock buried itself deep inside her.

All Hermione could do was lay back and enjoy the pleasures Severus was sending through her. Severus began thrusting into her. Hermione threw her head back and gasped.

“You’re so deep. Yes. More. Harder.” she moaned.

“Hermione. Oohh. You’re pussy feels so good. Oh god.” he groaned as he began thrusting harder.

“Let me…oh yes…ride you. Please.” she begged.

Severus wasted no time in releasing her. They rolled over so Hermione was now on top. Hermione began to grind her hips against his. She arched her back as she rocked, ground and gyrated her hips. Taking him in deeper and deeper it seemed.

“That’s it baby. Take that cock. Aahh yes. Fuck my cock. Ride me good.” he sighed as he tossed his head back against the pillow.

Hermione got off him and moved so she was now facing toward his feet. She grabbed his calves and began riding him even harder and faster.

“Severus! So fucking good!” she cried.

“Ugh. Yes. On your knees. Now!” he commanded.

She wasted no time. Once on her knees he began pounding into her while slapping her ass, causing her to cry out in pleasure. Grabbing a handful of hair, he forced her head back. He slammed his lips over hers. Her right hand found her clit, which was soaking wet with the juices flowing from her pussy.

“Hermione! I’m gonna come!” he growled.

“Then come! Shoot your load deep in my pussy!” she moaned.

“Oooohhhh! Hermione! Aaahhh!” he roared as he came.

“SEVERUS! OH GOD! AAHH!” she screamed.

Both laid on the bed completely spent. Somehow they managed to cleanse themselves and the bed, then moved up to the head of the bed. They were asleep within minutes.
