Love’s Journeys

Chapter 8- A Peaceful Moment for Everyone

Severus gently laid Hermione on his bed. He leaned over her closing his lips over hers. Hermione tangled her fingers in his hair as she felt his tongue enter her mouth and begin stroking and dancing with her own. Severus’s hands began roaming her body as Hermione’s did the same.

Severus pulled away for air and began assaulting her neck with soft gentle kisses. Hermione moaned from somewhere deep in her throat. At the same time her soft hands reached up to remove his robes, leaving Severus in only his black trousers and a white long sleeve shirt.

“You are over dressed for this little party Miss Granger. I think a wardrobe change is in order.” Severus said huskily as he began to undress the young woman beneath him.

Hermione started to unbutton his shirt when his hands stopped her. “No. This is about you my dear. Let me pleasure you Hermione.” Severus whispered.

Hermione smiled up at him and nodded. ‘Oh how I love this man. Always thinking about me before him.’ She thought as Severus continued removing her clothes. Within a minute she was left in nothing but her green and silver bra and thong set. “I take it my darling Slytherin likes his surprise?” Hermione asked seductively.

“You are very wicked Hermione.” Severus whispered before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss once more.

While their lips made love to each other his hands once more began to roam over her luscious body. Small moans and sighs of pleasure were heard from both Hermione and Severus as the kiss continued. Severus reached under her and quickly undid and removed her bra tossing it somewhere behind him. He began kissing down her jaw line and continued down until he reached her beautiful swanlike neck. Hermione moaned as she held his head at her neck while feeling his left hand at her breast and the right moving down toward her thong.

“Oh Severus. I’ve missed feeling your hands and lips.” She sighed as Severus’s lips began moving toward her right breast while his hand was playing and stimulating her left breast.

“I’ve missed being able to give you pleasure my dear.” He whispered before covering her breast with his mouth.

Hermione groaned and arched her back off the bed slightly. Within the next second she felt her thong being removed and dropped to the floor. Hermione arched her hips toward him as he switched breast between his lips and his hand. Severus began teasing her womanhood by nearly rubbing his fingertips against the soft golden curls between her legs.

“Severus. Stop teasing me. Please. Touch me.” Hermione growled as her hips bucked toward his fingers.

“Oh? You mean you want this?” Severus asked as he slid one finger as deep as he could within her.

“YYYEEESSS!” she hissed.

Severus smiled. Knowing that she was all his and that he was bringing her this kind of pleasure made his cock twitch slightly from its confines in his trousers. He gently slid a second finger in her which caused a moan to escape her lips. Severus moved his lips back up to her lips. Hermione rocked her hips against his probing fingers while sucking and nibbling on his lips and tongue. Sighing and moaning into their kiss.

Severus moved his thumb up to begin caressing her clit, causing her to squeal with pleasure at the initial feel of his thumb on her. He began moving his fingers quicker in and out of her while increasing the pressure on her clit. A few seconds later he felt her inner walls clench around his fingers and she all but screamed into the kiss. He gently removed his fingers from her while she calmed down. Before Severus could react she quickly rolled him onto his back. In a few second his shirt was unbuttoned and removed from his well defined chest and broad shoulders and joined her clothes on the floor.

“Now, it’s my turn to pleasure you my dear Slytherin.” She said as she began kissing down his neck.

Severus just closed his eyes at the feel of her soft lips caressing his skin. She slid her lips across his chest, teasing his nipples as she did so. As she was doing this, her hands were undoing his belt and unsnapping the button to his trousers. She moved down his lean body. She paused at the waistband of his pant to look up into his face while she unzipped his pants. Seeing his face masked in pleasure made her heart swell. With his pants undone she took her time sliding them down and off. As she crawled back up his body she drug he finger nails along the muscles of his legs.

“Oh Hermione. You are so beautiful.” Severus sighed feeling her hands rubbing up his thighs.

Hermione giggled as she reached for his boxers and quickly pulled them down and off. Before he could say or do anything she let her tongue flick slowly across the tip of his hard member causing Severus to shudder at the sensation beneath her. Hermione smiled as she slowly took the tip into her warm, wet mouth. Severus wrapped his fingers in her hair and moaned loudly. She twirled her tongue around him again and again. Then Hermione began to lower her head taking more of his length into her mouth.

“Oh gods. Hermione…that feels so good.” Severus groaned as he tossed his head back against the pillow underneath his head.

Hermione reached her right hand up to gently massage his balls. Hearing his moans and soft whispers of encouragement gave her power. The power to turn the vile Potions Master of Hogwarts into a quivering pile of mush with her kisses. Severus knew if she kept this up he wouldn’t last too long and wanted to be deep within her when they both found release. He reached down and pulled her head and hands away from his aching member.

“Darling, that was amazing, but I want to be buried deep inside you when we come.” He whispered when he saw the confused look in her eyes when he stopped her.

Rolling them over he gave her sweet center a few licks and thrusts with his tongue before moving over her. Gazing down into her gorgeous brown eyes slowly slide his penis into her.

“Oh you’re so tight Hermione.” He breathed as he was buried to hilt deep inside the woman he loved.

“Oh Severus.” Hermione groaned as she felt every inch of him slid into her.

Both stayed still enjoying the feel of being joined as one once more. It had been well over a month since their last time together, but now it was like the first time all over again. Hermione moved her hips against him and he took the hint.

“My darling…sweet Hermione…I love you.” Severus whispered as he thrust slowly and lovingly into her.

“Severus…I love you…too.” Hermione replied as her hips rocked against his thrusting hips.

Their lips met once more in a fiery kiss as their movement became faster and harder. Hermione raked her finger nails down his shoulders and back leaving trails in their wake. This elicited a growl from deep in Severus’s throat.

“Severus…right there. Harder…please…Severus.” Hermione cried.

“Hermione… god you’re sooo…tight. You feel…so…good.” Severus groaned.

Moving their hips faster and faster they both came within minutes screaming out each other’s names in absolute pleasure. Severus waited a minute before he could pull out and roll of her.

“That was amazing Hermia.” Severus sighed.

“You are wonderful to me Severus.” Hermione whispered as she rested her head on his chest. The worries and fears of the past few months forgotten as they basked in the aftermath of their lovemaking. “Will it always be this way Severus?”

Severus could hear the slight nervousness in her voice. “Oh Hermia. You have nothing to worry about. I’m never letting you go. You are my salvation form the darkness of my past. You taught me how to live again. I could never repay you for that. I love you.” Severus kissed her sweetly and reassuringly.

Hermione smiled and snuggled closer to him and fell asleep. Severus held her tightly to him as he too fell into a peaceful sleep.

“Where’s Hermione?” Ginny asked Ron and Harry as the three sat in the Gryffindor common room.

“She’s recovering.” Harry said.

Ginny was told that Hermione had been injured by Malfoy but wasn’t told the whole truth. “Oh. I haven’t seen her in over a month. I was worried about her.”

“She’ll be at dinner tonight.” Ron said as he smiled at his sister.

Ginny nodded as she curled up on Harry’s lap in front of the fire place. Ron just shook his head and smiled. At that moment Lavender, Ron’s girlfriend, entered the room.

“Hey Ron.” She said sweetly as she leaned down and kissed him.

“Hi honey. Where have you been?” Ron asked as he pulled her down onto his lap.

“Library. I still have to finish that damn essay for potions that’s due on Monday. It’s finally done though. Oh, congrats on winning the match against Ravenclaw today.” Lavender said.

“Thanks.” Harry, Ron and Harry said.

“Hey, it’s almost time for dinner. Let’s go get something to eat.” Ron said as the four rose to their feet and headed toward the Great Hall for dinner.

Just as Ron, Lavender, Harry and Ginny sat down Hermione walked into the hall. As she made her way to her friends the other Gryffindors kept stopping her to tell her welcome back. Finally she made her way to her seat between Harry and Ron.

“Welcome back Mione.” Ginny said as she hugged Hermione.

“Thanks. Hey! When did you and Lavender start dating?” Hermione exclaimed as she saw Ron and Lavender’s fingers interlaced.

“About a month after school started.” Ron answered.

“That’s great!” Hermione said as she hugged her two friends.

Hermione sat with her friends and joked around like old times. It felt so good for her to forget the threats that were still very real. Up at the staff table Severus smiled slightly as he watched Hermione joking and laughing with her friends.

“She looks happy.” Sirius said smiling at Severus.

“Yeah. It’s good to see her happy again.” Severus said wistfully as he watched his girlfriend’s face light up with laughter.

“At least she has her friends and her…lover…to help keep her mind off of things huh." Remus said grinning.

“Our personal life is none of your business Moony.” Severus said blushing slightly as he thought of their lovemaking that afternoon.

“I do believe we have embarrassed the potions master Moony.” Sirius said grinning like a court jester.

“I think you’re right Padfoot.” Remus said grinning just as big.

“You two are terrible. You foolish gits.” Severus grumbled concentrating on his food.

Remus and Sirius began laughing at the flustered state of Severus Snape. Their laughing caught the attention of Hermione, Ron and Harry who glanced at the staff table and saw the scene. They too began to laugh quietly as they saw the slight reddish tint to Severus’s cheeks and Sirius and Remus laughing. Once dinner was finished Hermione walked with her friends to the common room to get caught up on everything that had happened while she was recovering.

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

Two hours later she and Harry were walking toward her and Neville’s common room. “How are you feeling Hermione?” Harry asked.

“Fine, now that I’m fully recovered.” Hermione answered.

They stopped in front of the portrait leading the Head Boy and Girls dorms when Harry pulled Hermione into a tight hug. “I’m so glad you’re all right. We’ve missed you. I swear to you we will stop Malfoy and you will be safe to live your life without fear.” Harry whispered as he held his best friend tight.

Hermione hugged Harry just as tight as she felt tears start to form in her eyes. “Thanks you Harry. Well, I better go. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Hermione said as she released Harry and kissed his cheek.

She entered her common room and headed for her bedroom. She grabbed the few things that she would need then walked over to her fire place. She grabbed a bit of floo powder and said “Severus Snape’s Room” then vanished in green flames as she was transported to Severus’s rooms. Hermione came out in Severus’s bedroom, put her things away and headed into the sitting room. She found her darling Severus sitting in a chair staring into the fire. She quietly walked up to him. Once behind him she began to massaging his shoulders.

“I was wondering when you were coming here.” Severus said as he leaned back into the chair.

“I was visiting with my friends. Trying to remember what it’s like to not be in fear. To try and gain back some sense of normality.” Hermione said.

Severus reached up and took hold of her hand and pulled her around to the front of his chair where he pulled her down on his lapresting his head on top of hers. “I know. This will be over soon. I swear to you Hermione.” Hermione cuddled into his warm embrace. The couple sat like this for a while before Severus noticed Hermione was starting to fall asleep in his arms. “Love, let’s go to bed. You’ve had a long day. You still need your rest.” He said gently as he kissed her hairline.

Hermione nodded. They rose to their feet, holding hands entered the bedroom, changed for bed and climbed under the covers. Before Severus turned out the lights he set up the wards around his private chambers then pulled Hermione close as they both drifted to sleep wrapped in each other’s loving embrace.

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

“Albus, what do we do? I know that Severus has set up wards to protect them in the dungeons and Harry and Ron are escorting Hermione to all her classes, but there are still too many opportunities to which Draco Malfoy can capture her.” Minerva said.

“I know. Even with the added security here at Hogwarts I still fear for her and Severus’s lives. Draco has made it clear he wants Severus dead as well as Hermione.” Albus sighed sadly.

“All we can do is wait, which is the hardest thing to do.” Remus added.

“Remus is right. Damn! I wish there was something more we could do to protect them!” Sirius cried slamming his fist on the arm of his chair.

“Calm yourself Sirius. Losing our tempers now will help no one. We must all trust in Hermione’s courage, Severus’s intelligence and the Order and the Ministry’s abilities of tracking to catch Draco Malfoy and protect Hermione.” Albus replied calmly. Sirius, Remus, and Minerva nodded in agreement. “It’s getting late. Let’s call it a night. We all need some sleep.”

The three teachers nodded, said good night and left the headmaster’s chambers. Albus opened his window to check on Hermione and Severus. Albus smiled as he saw them sleeping peacefully wrapped in each other’s tight embrace.
“May whatever gods are listening, may they watch over you my children.” Albus prayed quietly. He closed the window and turned in for the night.
