Sorry for the wait, Hope this is worth it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter....

Hermione Grangno Hno Hermione Snape sat in her new chambers, married but somehow alone. True to his words Severus married Hermione that very night. Joined in the bonding ceremony by Albus, Minerva acting as the only witness to the union.
Looking around her new home Hermione noticed that true to their reputation the house elves had already moved her belongings. Walking around the living quarters she noticed in the sitting room her books were now lined with Severus\' on his large bookcase.
Turning her attention to the room next door she walked through and noticed that another dresser had been added to the room which now held her clothing. Walking over to the closet she opened the door to reveal her dress robes hanging appropriately next to
her husbands black robes. Sighing once more to the lonliness of the chambers she moved back toward the living room. Immediately after the ceremony Severus had excused himself to his private labs, reassuring Hermione that he would be home shortly, he just
needed to retrieve something from his private stores in his lab. That was only 15 minutes ago. To Hermione however, it felt like a lifetime. Deciding that the stress of the iminent weding night activities that were sure to occur tonight was causing a much despised
bout of anxiety of being intimate with a man, regardless of the fact that he was her husband and the minor detail that she was in love him, which eluded even his attention. Shruging her arms and deciding to wait no longer for her missing husband Hermione made
her way to the bathroom, sure that a nice hot bubble bath was exactly what she needed.


The first fact that Severus realized upon entering his chambers was that Hermione was no where to be seen. Looking around for a moment Severus shrugged to himself and called to her. \"Hermione\" Severus called. Upon hearing no response he became worried. Moving
towards his bedroom, he realized that while her dress robes that she wore to become his wife were strewn across the room, she was nowhere to be seen. Making his way back across the living area his hand came to rest upon the knob of the bathroom. Opening the door and
stepping through the hot fog and steam Severus was shocked to find his new wife naked and relaxed in the deep bubbly water of his tub. Seeing that her eyes were shut in deep relaxation Severus did the only thing he could think of. He crpet out of the room, his new wife
none the wiser that she completely took his breath away with her beauty.


Cathching his breath on the other side of the door, Severus grasped the vial in his pocket, rotating it through his fingers. He had retrieved three potions for tonights activities. The first a contraceptive potion for Hermione to take. The second potion a lust potion, for as much an
arrogant bastard most people took him for, he was self consious of his looks. He did not have to worry about Hermione becoming aroused, the potion would handle that. The third potion was the one that worried Severus the most. This was for him, or more appropriately it was
one gift he could think of giving her. Before taking her virginity, a precious gift, he would give her his own gift -- truth. retrieving his wand from his sleeve Severus began to check the rooms for spells. Smirking when he found the charm he was searching for. Flicking his wand again he
changed his bed sheets to a deep crimson, and set candles around the room. If it was the last thing he could do he would make this night special for her. Hearing the bathroom door open he walked into the living area to find Hermione in his robe.
\" Sorry about the robe, the house elves have yet to move mine to the bathroom. \" Hermione spoke shyly.
\" It\'s alright. Everything I own is yours now. You are my wife.\" Severus spoke stepping close to his wife. Pulling her towards him Severus bent to her ear and began to whisper.
\"I checked the rooms, It appears that someone has placed a spell on my mirrors that allows them to see what we are doing. I checked the charm and luckily enough they cannot hear us unless we are in fornt of the mirror. To be safe though whisper anything that might compromise
our situation. Also I have two potions for you. The first is a contraceptive potion. The second is an arousal type of lust potion. When you are ready you may retire to the bathroom to take the doses. Before then however I have something I wish to share with you\" Severus said as he
placed the two vials in Hermione\'s hand. Hermione turned her eyes
to her new husbands face. Smiling she pulled him into a lingering kiss.
\"I don\'t know about you, but I am curious to what you could possibly want to share with me? Hermione questioned playfully.
\"Hermione, I want to give you a gift. You are blessing me with the gift of your virginity. The only gift I have to give you is myself, truthfully and honestly. Which is why I brought this. \" Severus said as he placed a third vial in her hands
Inspecting the vial Hermione let out a shocked gasp.
\"Severus, I know what this is. This is Veritaseum. \" Hermione spoke bewildered at Severus\' actions. Smiling down at Hermione, Severus held his out toward her. \"Trust me please Hermione.\"
\" I trust you,\" Hermione said as she reached out and took his hand allowing him to lead them to their bedroom. Hermione could not contain her gasp of surprise. The sheets were changed to a deep crimson, for her pleasure no doubt, and candles provided the room with a beautiful glow of light.
\"Severus, It is so beautiful. Thank you.\" Hermione said as she leaned in quickly kissing him full on the lips.
\"Not as beautiful as you Hermione.\" Severus spoke as he removed the vial of veritasium from his robes. Removing the stopper he drank the vials contents. Enough veritasium to be effective for no less than 3 hours. Looking Hermione directly in the eyes he plopped down on the bed.
\" Ask me anything you wish, the truth is yours.\" Severus spoke quietly hoping this was the right decision.
