Epilogue
The potion couldn’t have been more successful. New couples in their first serious relationship benefited greatly. Veteran married couples used it to add more adventure to their sex lives. It was carried by every apothecary in England.
Hermione and Severus moved in together six months after they took the potion themselves. Hermione had been spending so many nights at his house, and working in the labs that eventually they just decided to live together.
They sat on this night, reading letters that had come in from the potion’s users. It warmed Hermione’s heart to see how many couples benefited from her and Severus‘s work.
“What is it?” Severus asked as she chuckled while reading a letter.
“These two lost their virginity to each other and as expected it went bad,” she explained, “so they heard about the potion, tried it and as expected, it helped out immensely. He says he had no idea she needed the things that she needed and he made sure she had it the second time.”
“Good.” Severus said, looking up from his own letter. “Young men need to be more educated when it comes to women.”
“I agree.” She folded the letter up again. “What about that one?” She asked, looking at his focused eyes.
“It’s from a man in Scotland. He had been thinking of cheating on his wife.” Severus answered in a soft voice. “For a long time he felt as if she didn’t want him. She was distant and rarely sought him out or initiated anything physical. He knew she felt something for him, because she was the first to defend him, and was always supportive of his feelings and decisions and was in everyway the devoted wife.”
“Did he have an affair?” Hermione asked, sincerely hoping they had learned of the potion in time.
“No he didn’t. He read about the potion in a periodical and went looking for it. I took some persuading, but he convinced his wife to take it with him. He says that he never realized how insecure she was. She was frightened that he would think her a whore if she asked him for what she wanted.”
“How could she think that?” Hermione asked, shocked.
“Douglas admits he is negligent in paying compliments and making her feel valued. When he took the potion, all he felt was her desire to be told she was wanted. Nothing more.”
Hermione was speechless. “To have that much need for something so simple.”
“He feels the same way. He says he spent many hours just speaking into her ears.
“I hope she feels more reassured.”
“She does, according to Douglas. She is more demonstrative now, reaching out to touch him, kissing him at random times, he says she even initiated sex not to long ago.” Severus said with a smile.
“She gained her confidence.” Hermione said rising from her chair. “I’m going to start dinner.” She told him.
“Do you want help?” He asked.
“No, you cooked last night. I’ll do it tonight.” She leaned over and kissed him before moving to the kitchen.
She had begun a salad and was taking chicken out when she heard Severus behind her. “You are not going to believe this.” He said with a huge grin. She looked behind her to she him holding a letter in his hands.
“What is it?” She asked, still unwrapping chicken.
“We received a wedding invitation.” He told her, not looking up from his reading.
“We’ve received invitations from many people Severus, what makes this one different?” She hadn’t stopped making dinner and was now in front of the stove.
“Because this one is from Alan and Emma.” He said simply.
“What?!” She dropped the pan and went over to him taking the letter. With a teary eye she read Emma’s words.
‘Hermione and Severus,
We wanted the two of you to know first, as it was because of you both that we have this news to share. Alan and I have decided to get married. We would very much like for you and Severus to stand for us as we marry. It would mean so much to us.
The ceremony will take place the first Saturday in June, in the flora and fauna gardens near Wiltshire. We eagerly await your owl.
With Love, Emma and Alan’
“Oh Severus,” she gave in to emotion and hugged him, “they’re getting married.”
“Yes, I read the letter as well.” He returned her kisses.
“I’m so happy for them.” She said moving back to cook again.
“So am I love, so am I.” He told her, joining her in the kitchen.
“I will send an owl in the morning.” She said, as they cooked together. “I know they’ll be happy.” She was riding on the euphoria.
“Yes, I agree. They make a fitting pair.”
As they dined Severus thought of Hermione and he own place in his life. She was special to him in so many ways. He needed her, both the potion and Hermione herself had assured him of that.
He was glad that Emma and Alan had found a passion for each other and he wished them every happiness. He wanted that same happiness for himself. Did that mean he wanted to marry her? He didn’t know. He was once again unsure of how he felt, but this time he was confident in his confusion. There would be time to talk about marriage. There would be time to talk about the future. Hermione would always talk with him. She would always be there for him.
