Chapter 8

Hermione awoke to find Severus’s arms wrapped tightly around her. She sighed and slowly turned in his arms so she was facing him. He looked so peaceful as he slept. She reached out and brushed a lock of hair from his face.

‘He’s so handsome. I love him so much.’ She thought as she watched him sleep.

Carefully, so as not to wake him, she slipped out of bed and headed for the bathroom. As the hot jets of water washed over her body, she thought about what would happen when she returned to Hogwarts.

************************************************************************

Severus slowly awoke and found himself alone in Hermione’s bed. A second later he heard the sound of the shower. He smiled as he stretched and got to his feet. Quietly he entered the bathroom. He stealthily snuck into the shower and began massaging her shoulders.

“Ohhhh! Jesus Severus, you scared the hell out of me.” She gasped.

“Sorry love. I didn’t mean to.” He said with a smile.

Hermione just giggled as she began to relax under his talented fingers. She felt all her worries wash down the drain as Severus slowly took the sponge and began washing her back and shoulders.

“How did you sleep?” He asked.

“Wonderfully. You?” She answered.

“Perfectly.” He whispered.

************************************************************************

An hour later they exited the shower. Hermione was wearing nothing but a towel, while Severus had redressed. She walked him to her door, where they shared a loving kiss. Slowly they parted.

“I’ll see you later this evening my Queen.” He whispered.

“I know you will.” She said saucily.

Severus laughed as he walked out of the room. Hermione giggled as she re-entered her bedroom to begin getting ready for the ball.

************************************************************************

Four hours later Severus stood downstairs beside Adrienne, wearing the robes that showed his new position as body guard to the Queen. He looked around and quickly spotted Lucius Malfoy and his family. Severus’s eyes locked with Lucius’s. Hatred reflecting in both men’s eyes.

“You all right, Severus?” Adrienne asked.

“I’ll be fine. I just spotted Lucius Malfoy is all.” Severus answered.

“I see. Don’t worry. Voldemort probably already knows about her being Queen, as well as, you being her body guard.” Adrienne said calmly.

Severus just nodded. After all, what else could he do?

************************************************************************

“Now presenting, her Royal Highness, Hermione Granger de Bourbon.” A man announced.

Severus and Adrienne looked up at the stairs. Severus stopped breathing once more. He watched as an angle came walking down the stairs toward them. Hermione’s hair flowed in waves of curls and intricate knots and braids over her shoulders and down her back.

The dress she wore was made of the finest white silk. The bodice was covered with gold and silver stars and moons. It showed off the curve of her breasts tastefully. The bodice flowed into the skirt. It was full and was decorated with Celtic knots around the hem and delicate rose adorned the skirt itself.

“Good evening grandmother. Severus.” Hermione greeted as she approached them.

“Your Highness.” Severus said as he bowed and kissed her hand.

Hermione smiled lovingly at him as he looped her arm with his. The couple followed Adrienne toward the throne, where Hermione would officially be made Queen. Hermione held her head high as she and Severus passed the guests. From the corner of her eye, she took in his appearance.

The dress robes were made of the finest black China silk. A blood red sash was draped across his chest with a badge that marked him as her personal body guard. His hair was pulled back into a sleek pony tail. He looked so handsome. Just like her, he held his head high. As if he was royalty. If Hermione had her way, one day, he would be.

“Your Highness, please step foreword.” Roman said with a smile.

Severus helped her step up onto the raised daises that the magnificent golden throne sat on. Severus placed Hermione’s hand into Roman’s as she stood in front of the throne. Hermione turned and faced the guests gathered before her, while Roman took the crown and held it over her head.

“Do you solemnly swear, to rule our kingdom with grace, fairness, and justice? To lead our people into the future and guide us in times of darkness?” Roman asked.

“I solemnly swear to rule with grace, fairness, and justice. To lead our people into the future and guide them through times of darkness.” Hermione swore.

Roman gently placed the crown on her head. Hermione then sat gracefully upon the throne. Roman once more faced the crowd.

“I present to you, Her Royal Majesty, Hermione Granger de Bourbon!” Roman said with a brilliant smile.

The guests all began to clap and cheer. Hermione smiled down at them and bowed her head. Her eyes then locked with Severus’s. She smiled brightly and winked at him. He returned her smile.

************************************************************************

“May I have this dance?” Lucius asked.

“Of course Mister Malfoy. Excuse me Madame Bones.” Hermione answered.

Lucius extended his arm and led her out onto the floor. As they began to waltz, he pulled her close so no one could hear their conversation.

“You are no match for the Dark Lord. He will take over your kingdom.” Lucius whispered.

“We’ll see about that Lucius. You see, I know you killed my parents. I will take great pleasure in seeing you pay for your crimes. Tell your pitiful little Lord, that the rules to this war have just changed.” Hermione hissed.

“Ha. Ha. Keep telling yourself that Your Majesty.” Lucius said.

Lucius bowed as he exited the dance floor. Hermione just glared evilly at him. Once he was out of sight, she spun on her heel and went to find Severus. She found him talking with Albus and Minerva.

“Ahh. There you are. We were just talking about you my dear.” Minerva greeted.

“Well, I need to talk to you three and my grandmother. In private.” Hermione said.

Severus went to find Adrienne, while Hermione lead Albus and Minerva toward the nearby library. A few moments later, Severus and Adrienne joined them. Hermione jumped right in and told them what had transpired between her and Lucius.

“This will most certainly mean, your spying days are over my boy.” Albus sighed.

“Yes.” Severus agreed.

“What now?” Minerva asked.

“Well, Hermione told me she was going to bring back the old punishments. We’ll see how Voldemort likes that.” Adrienne answered with a smile.

The five talked a few more minutes before they returned to the party.
