Seduce My Father - Complete
Safe Measure
Severus and Hermione wasted no time entwining themselves in a display of heated passion. The witch had been craving his touch with much intensity since the last time. It felt like ages since the first night of virtually everyone else's detention. The two of them laid naked in his bed; their limbs weaved into one another's.
"So... I have to ask... Adrien dared you to seduce me?" Severus asked with a slight smile.
"Well... Sort of... Being himself, he offered to pay me off as a bet, but I knew he was joking. At first he voiced that the idea to him was rather "disgusting" but being that Adrien likes a good laugh, he went with it." Hermione replied.
"I don't know if I've ever been glad that Adrien can't mind his own business when it comes to me."
"You're his father. He wants to see you happy. I believe that's why he took the initiative to speak for you to Professor McGonagall."
Severus and Hermione laid in silence for a while longer, when a thought crossed his mind.
"Adrien will never get old." he mused.
"Is he... Immortal?" Hermione asked, the question having been burning at her for a while.
Severus shook his head. "No, I don't believe that he is... Immortal, but... He could very well live a lot longer than the average wizard. It makes me sad, really..."
"Why would that make you sad?"
"Well, because... Think about it." Severus rolled onto his side to face her, propping his head up with his hand. "Vampires for instance, are very lonely creatures, and they become cold after eternities spent in solitude. Do you know why?"
Hermione nodded. "Because... They've watched everyone that they love die."
Severus nodded. "What's going to happen to him when that happens? Me, you, Luna. Even his soddy friends like Draco."
"Do you think he's realized all of this yet?"
"Nothing really gets past Adrien. He's too damn smart for his own good at times."
"Do you think it eats at him?"
"If it does, he won't ever show it, will he? Even if it doesn't eat at him, it does eat at me. Very much so."
"I know you're blaming yourself for what he is, Severus, but you can't. And think about it... Like I read in your journal, 'Where would he be if I decided to change things? Would he be the same brilliant boy that he is, if I could take things back?' It doesn't do to dwell on the past. Adrien is one of the strongest people I've ever met, and I know that with his quirky sense of humor, and his ever evolving intellect, he will find companions long after we are gone." Hermione said, nuzzling into Severus's hair.
"By the way, you smell fucking amazing." she breathed against his neck, causing tingles to shoot up his spine.
When he shivered visibly, Hermione did the thing Severus hated the most. Tugging the sheet down from his side, she ran the tips of her fingers, feather-light up his skin. Severus jerked out of her reach and quickly moved from the bed causing Hermione to collapse in a fit of laughter trying to reach for him.
"Ugh. You witch." Severus picked up a pillow and playfully smacked her with it. "Ten points, yet again from Gryffindor for tickling the fucking Potions Master." he growled, but laughed in spite of the momentary annoyance just as a knock came at the door.
Hermione automatically stopped laughing, and the two hurriedly dressed before Severus pulled the door open.
"Interrupting?" Adrien asked with a raised brow, clearly amused.
"No..." Severus replied slowly, crossing his arms.
"There's a... Bit of a problem..."
"What sort of problem." Severus stated, rather than asked.
"Supposedly Ron knows. I don't know how. Either he nicked Harry's map at some point, or Harry told him, one of the two."
"And?"
"Eh... I don't know. Supposedly Harry's asked him to keep quiet, but Luna says she doesn't trust it, as he has been known to get a little testy with Harry."
"Right now, I think we'll leave it be. Albus and Minerva know, so it's not as if it really matters. The year will be out soon, and there's no reason to fret."
"Or I could just scare the living fuck out of him." Adrien smirked, desperate to have more fun.
"No. No... Using Dartagnan again would be much too risky. Then they will really think that I've been keeping a pet Panther."
"They already do." Hermione lauhged.
"Well... Perhaps Weasley will keep that in mind then."

"How does Ron know, Potter?" Adrien asked, causing Harry to wince at Adrien's use of his surname. He didn't ever call him "Potter."
"I don't know. Honestly. I know there's no way he could have looked at my Map, I've kept it on me at all times, and besides... Ron isn't very subtle. But.. Oh fuck." Harry said, taking off his glasses to rub his face with his hands.
"What?" Hermione and Adrien asked in unison.
"Ron's always telling me I talk in my sleep. What if I said something that may have given it away?"
"Okay so... He only thought he knew then... But then you fucking cemented it by telling him not to say a word! Ugh, Harry, you really are fucking horrible at tact." Adrien sighed, crossing his arms. Harry looked rather intimidated by the tall dark looming figure of Adrien Snape at that point.
"If it's any consolation, I don't think he'll say anything." Harry said.
"What makes you think that?"
"Because, he's fucking terrified of getting eaten by Snape's 'imaginary' pet Panther." Harry smiled wide. "Be honest though, what is the deal with Dartagnan? Was it a conjured animal? I mean, second year during dueling club, Draco fired a snake at me right out of his wand."
Adrien and Hermione laughed.
"Yeah, sure, Harry. We all rallied together and made an elaborate plot to scare the fucking living shit out of Malfoy. Or piss, rather." Adrien burst into laughter.
"Who conjured it then?"
"Who else would have done something that fucked up?" Adrien laughed even harder.
"I should have known." Harry said, shaking his head. "You two really are quite evil together." he said gesturing between Hermione and Adrien.
"Why yes,... Yes we are. So you let Ron know that he isn't to say a word, or that Panther will be coming back."
Harry nodded. "Fine then. I'm sure he'll keep his word though. Honestly."
"Just for safe measure." Adrien winked.
