Summer Love

Chapter 6

“Okay. I want details. What’s happened between you and Snape?” Pansy demanded.

“Dish it Mia.” Millicent added.

“Fine. What do you two busy bodies want to know?” Hermione sighed.

“Have you slept with him yet?” Pansy asked.

“Yes.” Hermione said.

“Is he good?” Millicent questioned.

“Oh god is he ever.” Hermione answered in a blissful voice.

“Better than Ron?” Millicent asked.

“Yes. Not that Ron was bad. Ron was very good, but I guess Severus has a little more experience than Ron had.” Hermione answered.

“Where was your first time with Severus?” Pansy asked.

“Against the wall of the pool.” Hermione said with a roguish grin.

“Oohh! You go girl!” Millicent said.

“Wow. Draco and I have never done it in a pool. Is it good?” Pansy asked.

“Oh yeah. Of course there was also his shower, the bedroom, and a lot of other places around the house.” Hermione answered.

The girls were laughing as they entered the mall. They walked around the different stores. Trying on clothes, and talking about their guys.

“I swear Balise is losing his touch.” Millicent said as they sat drinking soda.

“What do you mean?” Hermione asked.

“He used to be really and I mean really into foreplay. But now, he’s not. I don’t know what to do. Let alone what to say.” Millicent answered with a sigh.

“Oh Milli. It can’t be that bad.” Pansy said as she and Hermione wrapped their arms around her.

“Have you talked to Balise about this?” Hermione asked.

“No! I…I can’t tell him this!” Millicent cried.

“Of course you can. That’s part of being in an honest relationship. You talk to each other.” Pansy said.

“Pansy’s right. Especially when you make love. You need to tell each other what you like, what you want and what you don’t like.” Hermione added.

“So you think I should tell him?” Millicent asked as she looked at her friends.

“Yes.” Pansy and Hermione answered.

The three hugged, finished their drinks and finished their shopping. Their last stop was Victoria’s Secret. Pansy picked out a red silk bikini panty and bra set. Millicent picked out a pastel blue teddy with matching thong. Hermione kept her purchase secret. The three returned to the car and headed back to Paradise Manor.

“How do you think your aunt and uncle are getting along with the guys?” Millicent asked.

“I bet they’re getting along just fine.” Hermione answered.

“Hopefully Crabbe and Goyle haven’t made fools out of themselves.” Pansy said.

Hermione pulled into her driveway. They could hear laughter from the kitchen and chatter from the backyard.

“We’re back!” Millicent called out.

“Hey. Did you have fun?” Severus asked as he kissed Hermione’s cheek.

“Sure did. How’s everything here?” Hermione answered.

“Fine. The food will be ready in about ten minutes.” Chris replied.

Hermione, Pansy and Millicent put away their bags and helped the others finish the food and set the picnic tables. Ten minutes later everyone was seated and began eating. The meal was filled with laughter and talk. Everyone talking about their lives. Sharing stories of their childhoods. Hermione laughed and talked with everyone else, but as she did, she watched Severus. She couldn’t remember when, if ever, he had looked so at ease.

“Now, I believe it’s time for some of that delicious looking chocolate cake that Marianne brought.” Severus said with a smile.

“Yes. Besides, Severus here has quite the sweet tooth.” Hermione said.

Everyone laughed as Severus got to his feet and headed inside. He returned a few minutes later with the cake and a knife. Marianne had the honors of cutting the first piece.

“Well, it’s getting a little late. It was nice to meet all of you. I hope we can do this again soon.” Marianne said.

“Yes, we must get together again soon.” Chris added.

After saying good bye, Chris and Marianne left. The others stayed outside for a while longer. Crabbe and Goyle made a bon fire and were fighting over a bag of marshmallows.

“You two are hopeless.” Millicent laughed.

“He started it!” Crabbe yelled.

“Did not! You did!” Goyle cried.

This caused everyone else to laugh even harder. For over an hour they sat around the fire talking and roasting marshmallows. An hour later they extinguished the fire and headed inside.

“Guys, we’re gonna take off. We have to be up early.” Draco said.

“Yeah. We promised my mum that we’d go with her to London.” Pansy added.

The couple said good bye and headed for the car. The others sat in the living room while Crabbe and Goyle fought over the television remote. They finally gave up when a large fur ball with legs landed on Crabbe’s head before jumping onto the couch.

“Well hello Crookshanks.” Hermione said.

“I see you still have this four legged animal.” Severus said as he watched Hermione scratch the familiar’s head.

“Yes. I guess he finally found me. Whenever we come home he likes to explore my house. I guess he decided to come over and explore your house.” Hermione replied.

“That animal better not destroy anything. Do you understand me feline?” Severus hissed as he pointed his finger at the cat.

Crookshanks sniffed at Severus’s finger. After a few seconds, Crookshanks started to lick at his finger. Hermione began to laugh.

“It will take more than that to scare him.” Hermione laughed.

“How ‘bout this?” Goyle asked.

He got to his feet, turned his back to Hermione, Severus and Crookshanks, dropped his trousers and bent over.

“Aahh!” Severus yelled.

“I’m blind!” Hermione cried.

“OUCH!” Goyle screamed.

Everyone burst out laughing as Goyle grabbed his ass, tried to run away but tripped over his trousers that were still around his ankles, and fell flat on his face.

“Your damn cat bit me!” Goyle yelled.

“Well, you shoved your ass in his face.” Hermione laughed.

“Be glad it’s nothing more than a little nip. I still have the scar from where he bit me four years ago.” Sirius said.

“Good kitty.” Severus said as he scratched Crookshanks head.

“Very funny.” Sirius said with a scowl.

They all decided to watch one of the dozens of movies Severus had. They all unanimously agreed on Rosemary’s Baby. Everyone sat around the living room engrossed in the movie. Hermione was cuddled up in Severus’s arms with Crookshanks sitting on her lap on the couch. Remus and Sirius were curled up on the love seat. Millicent and Balise were also curled up in the large arm chair. Crabbe and Goyle were laying on their stomachs with a large bowl of popcorn.

“Hey you two, we need to get going.” Balise said as he threw one of the sofa pillows at Crabbe and Goyle.

“All right.” Goyle said.

“Okay. We had fun today.” Crabbe added.

“It was great seeing you guys and meeting your aunt and uncle. We’ll talk to you guys later.” Millicent said.

The four said bye and headed for Balise’s car. Once gone, Sirius cleared his throat. He took a deep breath before he spoke.

“Guys, there’s something we need tot ell you.” Sirius said.

“What is it?” Hermione asked.

“It’s about Harry.” Remus replied.

“What about Potter?” Severus questioned.

“Lately he’s been talking in his sleep. After leaving Hogwarts, he came to live with Remus and I. The last few days we’ve been finally been able to make out what he’s been saying.” Sirius answered.

“What has he been saying?” Hermione asked.

“He keeps saying she will pay. She will pay. It wasn’t until last night we knew who ’she’s was. He said your name Hermione. Do you have any idea why?” Sirius explained.

“Y…Yes. He…he blames me for Ron’s death.” Hermione answered.

Severus held her close as she trembled slightly. Remus and Sirius paused before they spoke again. Neither wanting to tell her the next part.

“Hermione, Harry has been plotting to hurt you. His plans also include killing anyone who helps you as well.” Remus said.

“Have you two told anyone else about this?” Severus demanded.

“Yes. We went to Albus yesterday. We waited till we could actually make out his words. Albus said for us to tell you and watch over Harry.” Remus replied.

“Hermione, Severus, Harry has become violent. The other day he drew his wand on Remus after he hit me upside the head with an empty bottle of Fire whisky and Remus tried to tackle him. Ever since, Remus and I have kept our bedroom door locked and warded. Albus even added a few of his own wards.” Sirius added.

“What? Has Potter completely lost his mind!” Severus yelled.

“That’s what Albus and Minerva think.” Remus replied.

“How do you know…he…didn’t follow…you here?” Hermione asked.

“He was passed out drunk in his room when we left. Plus, we locked and warded him in his room before we left.” Sirius answered.

“Okay, how do we protect Hermione?” Severus asked as he held her.

“Albus simply said to place wards around your house and Hermione’s. As of now, Harry doesn’t know that the two of you are in love. We are hoping to keep it that way. Albus is going to try and speak to Harry tomorrow and hopefully take him to St. Mungo‘s for help.” Remus answered.

“All right. Thanks for telling us. Once you get back, tell Albus I would like to talk to him tomorrow after he talks to Potter.” Severus said.

“Will do. Now we better head home. Hopefully Harry’s still asleep.” Sirius replied.

Remus and Sirius hugged Hermione, shook Severus’s hand and left. Hermione was now scared. Severus returned to her side and pulled her into his arms once more.

“My nightmares are coming true. Harry will find me. I know he will.” she said quietly.

“No he won’t. Albus won’t let him hurt you. Neither will I. As long as I can help it.” Severus said quietly.

They held each other for quite some time. Crookshanks even showed his support by curling up in his owners lap. The couple finally headed up for bed, after putting food and water out for Crookshanks. They fell asleep holding each other as tightly as they could.
