Highland Rose
Chapter 5
Hermione sat at the breakfast table with her parents and Uncle. Gwen, Drustan, and Dageus all shared a knowing look as they watched Hermione quickly eat her meal. Finally Dageus broke the silence.
“All right lass, what’s the rush?” He asked.
“What do you mean Uncle Dageus?” She replied.
“Look, for the past week you’ve been hiding somewhere around the castle, and now all of a sudden you’re eating your breakfast as if you have somewhere you have to be. IS there somewhere you have to be?” Dageus questioned.
Hermione paused; she didn’t really want to discuss this topic. She was still trying to figure out her relationship with Severus, she really didn’t want her family butting in. However she was raised in a very open and honest family even though she didn’t want to admit to it: beneath it all she knew that they just wanted her to be happy they weren’t trying to interfere.
“I…I can’t tell you. Not yet anyway.” Hermione answered after a moment to figure out her answer.
“Does this have anything to do with Severus honey?” Drustan asked.
Hermione just looked at her father with a surprised look, answering him she simply sighed and nodded her head.
“I figured. We know there is some sort of connection between the two of you. That’s why the three of use are leaving for a week. So you two can work out whatever this is.” Gwen explained.
“Great, I thought you were Druids, not cupid.” Hermione said sarcastically.
“If there is anything at all between you two, just let it come. Don’t fight it. Your father and I did for too long.” Gwen advised.
“I’ll remember that mum.” Hermione said.
Gwen nodded. Hermione finished her meal, wished her parents and Uncle a good day, then left the dinning room. She made a pit stop at the kitchens to pick up the picnic basket she had ordered last night, then she headed out to the stables. She found Severus waiting with Ares and another horse named Argo.
“Ready for a tour of the grounds?” Hermione asked hesitantly as she approached.
“Ready and willing.” Severus answered with a smile.
They climbed onto the horses and Hermione led him towards the rolling hills of the property surrounding the castle. As they rode away, Remus stepped out from behind the barn wearing a smile.
“Well done Severus. Well done indeed.” Remus chuckled to himself as he turned and headed for the loch.
************************************************************************
“Where are they?” Sirius grumbled several hours later as everyone was sitting down to dinner.
“I think we should go ahead and start without them.” Gwen said with a smile.
“I agree. I saw Hermione and Severus head out on two horses this morning with a picnic basket.” Remus agreed.
“You saw what?” Sirius asked astonished at the laid back reactions of the adults around him.
“Ah, Hermione, Severus, there you are. We were just wondering where you two had gotten off to.” Dageus said as Hermione and Severus came walking into the dinning room.
“Sorry we’re so late. We were out riding and time got away from us.” Hermione said.
“That’s understandable. Now, that everyone’s here, let us eat.” Drustan replied as he nodded to the pair.
Hermione and Severus shared a small smile as they sat side-by-side and began eating. Dinner passed without incident. Unless you count the glares that Sirius kept sending toward Severus.
“So, what did you two do all day?” Sirius asked, the hostility evident in his tone.
“I just showed him around the grounds and we talked Sirius. Why?” Hermione answered.
“You two were gone for a long time. Something could have happened to you.” Sirius replied.
“I wouldn’t have let anything happen to Miss Granger Black. I was brought here to protect her just as you were. I would die before I let anything happen to her.” Severus shot back.
“All right you two, knock it off. Sirius, I don’t like that you are insinuating that the Professor would let anything happen to me OR that he would do anything to hurt me. Professor, you’re acting just as childish as Sirius. Now, can we all finish our meal in peace please?” Hermione stated as she fixed Sirius and Severus with a determined stare.
“Fine.” Sirius growled.
“I’m sorry.” Severus whispered.
“You’re forgiven.” Hermione whispered back with a gentle smile.
Dinner continued without incident. After dinner, Severus and Hermione retreated to the library. Sirius on the other hand, stormed out of the castle. Remus quickly followed.
“Sirius, what is it?” Remus asked as he spotted Sirius standing near the fountain in the front courtyard glaring at the library window.
“How can she stand to be around him? He’s a complete and utter bastard!” Sirius growled as he pointed to the library window, where he saw Hermione and Severus sit on one of the sofas.
“Perhaps they understand each other. Maybe she sees more to him that the rest of us can‘t see.” Remus suggested.
“She deserves better than him.” Sirius grumbled.
“Oh? Don’t you think Hermione should choose who she wants to be with?” Remus asked stressing her name to try to get his point across.
Sirius just glared at his friend and stormed back into the castle. Remus sighed. In two days, Dageus, Drustan, and Gwen were leaving and it would be only himself, Sirius, Severus, and Hermione. He just hoped Sirius didn’t do anything foolish during that time.
************************************************************************
In the library, Severus held Hermione as they laid on the sofa reading. They both had grown very at ease with each other over the hours they had spent together earlier that day. During their ride, the two had just talked. He told her stories of his childhood, his mother and how she wanted him to be a strong Druid. Hermione spoke of her own family and childhood. How she loved being outdoors and picked up the Druid magic very quickly. She snuggled deeper into his embrace and sighed.
“You okay?” He asked.
“Hmm? Yeah, I’m fine. Just thinking about something my mother said this morning.” She answered.
“What did she say?” He questioned.
“She told me that if there was anything between us to not fight it. Apparently she and my dad did when they found out they were soul mates.” She replied.
“I didn’t know your parents were soul mates.” He said in surprise.
“Yeah. I guess it runs in the family.” She chuckled.
“Yeah, I guess so.” He laughed.
They finished reading their books, got to their feet, turned out the lights, and headed upstairs to their rooms. At Hermione’s bedroom door they stopped and faced each other. Severus leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers in a tender kiss.
“Sleep well Hermione.” He said.
“You too Severus. I’ll see you in the morning at breakfast.” She replied with a smile.
He took her hand, gently kissed it, then headed off to his own bedroom. Hermione entered her room and got dressed for bed. A bright smile graced her face. As she slept, she dreamt of the day that this war with Voldemort would end and she and Severus could look toward the future and try to build a life for themselves. Together.
