Chapter 4
Hermione didn’t want to wake up just yet, she felt safe and warm in her love’s arms. She hated the thought that in a few hours she would have to leave the little flat once again and go back to the cottage in Hogsmeade. However, now she knew that one day, in the not too distant future that when she looked up at Hogwarts, Severus wouldn’t be there. He would be thousands of miles away, in Spain. She had some hard thinking to do, and a decision that was a long overdue.
She felt Severus stir behind her and knew that he would soon be waking up. He wants to have a family with me. Hermione smiled as she remembered the words he words he spoke the previous night. She tried to picture a life with Severus, days spent in research together, nights spent in his arms, and perhaps a child or two in the not too distant future. To her it was an idyllic picture and one she so wanted to have for her own. The arm around her tightened and she felt him place a kiss on her shoulder.
“Good morning, love.”
“Good morning, did you sleep well?”
“I always sleep well when I have you next to me. Have you been up long?”
“No,” Hermione said as she turned to face him, placing a kiss on his lips, “Would you like a cuppa?”
“Yes, please.”
“I’ll be back in a moment,” she said as she sat up and bent down to retrieve her robe from the floor.
Severus watched her walk away and his thoughts wondered back to last night and their ‘talk’. He hoped she would choose to leave with him he would miss her desperately if he had to leave her behind here in Britain, only seeing her maybe, once a month.
********************
Hermione set the water to boil on the stove while she set-up the teapot. She didn’t want to leave here today, but if she didn’t show up at the Burrow, Molly would go in search of her. Well, at least Harry, Ginny, and their kids will be there too. Harry…Gods. Harry would take her leaving Ron about as bad, if not more so, then Ron!
Flashback
“This is going to be fantastic, Hermione. Ginny and me, Ron and you, we’ll be like one big happy family! Our kids will grow up together…”
“Whoa, Harry, we haven’t even discussed having children yet. We can’t afford to have children right now, I’m still in my apprenticeship, and Ron is still in Auror training.”
“Well, once you’re married you can give up the apprenticeship, Hermione. I mean you won’t need to be a Potions Mistress. Mrs Weasley says being a Mum is a full-time job in itself. Where would you have the time to work too?”
“I am NOT giving up my apprenticeship, Harry, no matter what anyone says. It’s something I have always wanted and I don’t care what ‘anyone else’ thinks about it.”
“I’m sure Ron won’t mind your completing your apprenticeship, by then he’ll be a full Auror and making enough so you two can start a family. You know I’ve always thought of you as the sister I never had, Hermione, but now with you marrying Ron we’ll really be related.”
“Yes, Harry, it’ll be wonderful.”
“Hey, maybe you and Ron could live with Ginny and me at Godrics Hollow, you know, until you two can afford a place of your own. I know living at that Burrow would put a crimp…”
“Excuse me? Who said we would be ‘living at the Burrow’?”
“Uhh, Ron…and Mrs Weasley, I mean even you said you two can’t afford to have children yet. This way the two of you could save some money.”
End Flashback
Hermione shuddered as she remembered the two years of living at the Burrow. Constantly being under the ever ‘watchful eye’ of her mother-in-law. The so unsubtle hints about how they shouldn’t wait too long to have children. The constant criticism and unasked for ‘advice’ about how she could be a ‘better wife to her son’, and Ron just sitting there silent while his mother’s mouth kept going on and on. Unless of course it was a criticism about him, then he’d say something!
Hermione poured the hot water into the teapot and placed the lid on top. While the tea brewed, she put some biscuits on a plate and set it on the tray. A nice quiet morning, having tea and biscuits in bed…Ron would never do that, for one, he had to have a huge breakfast every morning.
”My mum makes a hearty breakfast every morning for my dad, it’s what a good wife does, Hermione.”
Pushing the thoughts of Harry, Ron, and the Weasley’s out of her mind she focussed on the wizard awaiting her in the bedroom.
She entered the bedroom, the tray floating in behind her as sat next to him and allowed the tray to settle down on the small nightstand next to the bed. She took the plate of biscuits, placed them on the bed, and then proceeded to serve the tea.
“You spoil me terribly, you do know that don’t you?”
“Of course, but it’s my prerogative to do so!” Hermione smiled at him as she hand him the cup.
“So, what are your plans for the day?” she asked.
“I suppose I should go to Diagon Alley and replenish some of my stores that are beginning to go low, perhaps stop by Flourish and Blotts to browse a bit.”
“I don’t look forward to my day at the Burrow,” she sighed, “I just hope Harry and Ginny’s children keep Molly occupied enough so she’ll stay out of my hair today.”
“She’s still giving you a hard time?”
“Every chance she gets. I swear the woman isn’t happy unless she has her nose in every aspect of her children’s lives. I’ve been tempted a number of times to invite her to watch to make sure Ron and I are ‘doing it’ to her satisfaction.”
Severus laughed and blanched at the thought. He tried to keep thoughts of Hermione in bed with Weasley as far from his mind as he could, but the image of the look on Molly Weasley’s face being issued such an invitation was just too funny to ignore.
Severus reached over his lover and placed his cup and the plate back on the tray. He untied the sash to her robe and began kissing her neck.
“Perhaps I can give you something to think about while you’re stuck at the Burrow today,” he said as he took her in his arms and eased her back down on to the bed.
Hermione spread her legs invitingly for her lover as he eased down upon her, kissing her neck, lips, shoulders, breasts, awakening her need to become one with him, again. The two lovers kept the world outside their little flat at bay for a little while longer.
