The Half-Blood Prince and the Pure-Blood

Chapter 1

Hermione Granger, 6th year Gryffindor prefect, Harry Potter’s best friend and girlfriend of Potions Master Severus Snape, sat with Severus in his sitting room in the dungeons of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was mid-March now. The war against Voldemort was in full swing.

“I can’t do this Hermione. I just can’t.” Severus said as he sat on the sofa with his head in his hands.

“Yes you can. There’s no other choice. I know this is hard on you. It’s hard on me too. There’s nothing we can do to change what has to happen.” Hermione said gently as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

“But how can I kill him? I told Albus I didn’t want to do this anymore. Then Albus told me I had agreed to do it and that was all there was to it.” Severus said sadly.

“Darling, we have to go through with this. Do you have any idea how hard this is for me? I can’t tell Ron the whole truth and I can’t tell Harry a damn thing.” she said.

“I didn’t even think. I’m sorry Mia. It’s just…this is the hardest order I’ve ever had to carry out.” he replied.

Hermione leaned over and kissed him. Severus grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. The kiss was rough and passionate. Both desperately trying to forget about the mission they were tangled up in.

“Bedroom. Now.” she hissed.

Severus gathered her in his arms and made his to the bedroom. Once inside he threw her onto the bed. With the flick of his wand, he locked and silenced the room. He then returned to Hermione. Clothes were ripped off and thrown around the room. The two quickly lost themselves in each other’s passion. Forgetting the war, their mission, forgetting everything but one another.

“Hermione.” he sighed.

“Severus. Oh god.” she moaned.

Severus quickly thrust into her. Hermione threw her head back and arched into him. Severus groaned as he began to nip and suck at her neck. Their lovemaking was often times rough. Much like tonight. Hermione used her weight to roll them over.

“This is what you want. Isn’t it?” she whispered as she rocked her hips foreword and back hard and slowly.

“God yes.” he moaned as he thrust hard into her.

Hermione began to ride him hard and fast. Taking his hard dick deeper and deeper into her wet pussy. Severus sat up, wrapped her hair around his hand, jerked her head back and attacked her neck once more. Hermione let out an undistinguishable sound.

“Oh Hermione. That’s it. Fuck my cock. Ride it.” he hissed as he bit into her shoulder.

“Aaahhh!” she cried.

They rolled over once more, changing positions. Severus began to pound into her. He had her legs together and over his shoulder.

“Yes! Oh god! Fuck!” she screamed.

“You’re so tight. So fucking wet. Ahhh.” he moaned.

Severus put his right hand between them and began to finger her clit. This move sent Hermione’s body into sexual overdrive. Her inner muscles began to clutch his dick harder and harder with each thrust.

“Oh! Yes!” Severus cried.

“Oh Severus! I’m gonna…oh yes! AAAAHHHH!” Hermione screamed as her whole body locked up.

“YES! OOOOHHHH!” Severus roared as her emptied his seed deep inside her.

The two sank to the bed gasping for air. Hermione summoned her wand. She did a quick cleansing charm on them and the bed and extinguished the lights. Severus pulled the sheet and comforter up over them.

“You know you shouldn’t be here. You should be in your dorm asleep.” he whispered.

“I know.” was all she said.

Severus kissed her forehead, pulled her against him and the pair drifted off to sleep. March turned to April, April to May and May to June. On June 1st Hermione sat at the lake watching the water wash over the shore.

“Hey.” Ron said.

“Hey.” Hermione replied.

“What is it? Did you and he have a fight?” Ron asked.

“No. Look, this plan is coming to an end. Tonight. Whatever happens, remember I love you and Harry. And please don’t hate me.” Hermione answered.

“Mione, I could never hate you. Look, I know whatever it is you and him are doing is dangerous. Just promise me you’ll be as safe as you can.” Ron said.

“I will. After tonight him, Draco and I will be on the run for a while. I’ll write when it’s safe.” she replied.

“It’s bad isn’t it?” he asked.

“Yes.” she answered.

“Be careful. Tell him I said for him to take care of you and himself. I know him and I don’t get along, but you two love each other, so I’ll accept it.” he said.

“I will. Well, I’ve got to go. Take care and tell Harry I love him. Please watch over him.” Hermione said as she got to her feet.

“I will. I love you and be careful.” Ron said.

Hermione and Ron hugged each other tightly. Hermione the returned to the castle. She carefully made her way to the Room of Requirement. She quietly entered.

“Is everything ready?” Hermione asked.

“Yes.” Draco Malfoy answered quietly.

“You all right?” she asked.

“No. I can’t do this Hermione. I just can’t.” he answered as he dropped to his knees.

“It’s going to be fine. Just follow the plan. I’ll be right there. I won’t leave you and neither will Severus. Just remember the plan. All right.” she said as she knelt beside him and wrapped her arms around his shoulder.

The day wore on. Harry had taken off with Albus Dumbledore searching for one of the Horcruxes. That gave them till dark. Hermione was with Draco while her fellow D.A. members were searching the castle as Harry had asked them to.

“Silence!” Hermione yelled.

All the Death Eaters fell silent. Hermione wore solid black. Her hair pulled into a low pony tail, with the tail part wrapped in a black leather clip. She wore knee length black heeled boots.

“Now, you all know the plan. You are here to make sure no one stops Draco. Now, let’s move.” Hermione ordered.

Then chaos appeared. The D.A. members began fighting the Death Eaters. Soon the Order of the Phoenix arrived. Hermione made sure she kept her hood up so her face was hidden. When she spotted Amycus, Alecto, Fenrir and Gibbons head up to the Astronomy Tower, she knew it was time.

‘It’s time. God forgive us.’ Hermione thought as she made her way up the spiral stair case.

Hermione made her way to the door. She stood there and listened. She had to wait for the perfect moment to enter the room. She prayed Harry would one day understand and forgive her.

“I’ll do it.” she heard Fenrir Greyback snarl.

“I said no!” shouted Gibbons.

“Stop!” Hermione yelled as she burst into the room.

Everyone faced her. She knew Harry was there under his cloak somewhere.

“I’ll make sure it’s done. You four leave us.” Hermione ordered.

“You aren’t running this show.” Fenrir snarled.

“Don’t push me Greyback! You four leave! Now!” Hermione yelled as she threw her hood back.

Everyone but Greyback began to move to the door. Hermione and Greyback were locked in a staring contest. After five minutes he gave a snarl and left, the other three following on his heels. Hermione spun around and faced Draco and Dumbledore.

“What the hell are you waiting for? Kill him.” Hermione hissed.

“Hermione? Why?” Albus asked quietly.

“You should know. It’s your fault. After all, you killed my birth parents. Because of you I was raised by those fucking muggles!” Hermione answered angrily.

“Your real parents?” Albus asked in confusion.

“What? Don’t remember those you kill personally? Does the names Regina and Lawrence Canton mean anything to you?” Hermione demanded.

“Hermione listen to me. Your parent’s death was an accident. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Albus said.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Liar.” Hermione laughed evilly.

“Listen to me…” Albus started.

“Save it for someone who cares. Kill him Draco. Now!” Hermione ordered.

Just then the door burst open. There stood Severus holding his wand. Hermione turned and faced him as he approached her and Draco.

“Severus.” Albus said quietly.

“Where the hell were you? Draco doesn’t seem to have the balls.” Hermione said.

“Severus…please…” Albus pleaded.

Severus looked on with a look of disgust. He pointed his wand at Albus.

“Avada Kedavra!” Severus hissed.

The curse hit Albus in the chest. The force of the curse caused Albus to fly through the air. Hermione, Severus, Draco and Harry watched as Albus’s body flew out the window and disappeared into the night.

“Draco, get out of here. Now.” Hermione said.

Draco turned and ran. Hermione and Severus shared a saddening look then ran as well. They caught up with Draco at the bottom of the stairs. It was chaotic. Everyone was fighting. Hermione and Severus grabbed Draco by his arms and ran.

Hermione and Severus held on tight to Draco as the three ducked and dodged curses and spells while leaping over bodies. Five minutes later they reached the main hall. Hermione knew Harry would catch up. They had to get outside and fast. Suddenly they reached the grounds. They heard Harry fighting with Gibbons behind them. They had just passed Hagrid’s hut where Hagrid had just emerged. A few seconds later they head Harry’s voice.

“Stupefy!”

The spell missed Severus and Hermione by inches. Severus and Hermione pushed Draco foreword but turned and faced Harry.

“Run Draco!” Severus yelled.

Hermione and Severus faced Harry. The three drew their wands simultaneously.

“Cruc…” Harry started.

Hermione and Severus blocked the curse, which knocked Harry backward. Gibbons yelled a curse and Hagrid’s hut ignited in flames. They heard Hagrid bellowing about Fang. Harry tried to yell the Crucations Curse but Hermione and Severus blocked the spell again.

“No Unforgivable Curses from you Potter!” Severus yelled.

“Incarc…” Harry yelled, but Severus deflected it.

“Fight back! Fight back you cowardly…” Harry screamed.

“Coward, did you call me Potter? Your father would never attack me unless it was four on one. What would you call him I wonder?” Severus yelled.

Harry yelled curse after curse, but both Hermione and Severus, blocked them. Suddenly Harry fell to the ground yelling in pain.

“No! Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord, we are to leave him. Go! Go!” Severus yelled.

Harry continued to try using spells he had found in his potions book. Hermione and Severus continued to block them. Suddenly Severus blasted Harry back. He and Hermione approached Harry. Severus began screaming at Harry that he was the infamous Half-Blood Prince. Suddenly Buckbeak attacked.

“Aahh! Severus! Let’s go!” Hermione screamed as she grabbed his arm.

The two ran away as fast as they could. Finally they were off the grounds and Buckbeak was flying back to the castle. The pair stopped and caught their breath.

“You’re hurt.” Severus said as he grabbed her arm.

“Not here. They’ll find us. Let’s go.” Hermione replied.

The two held hands and apparated away. They knew Draco would be back with his mother. Their orders were to make sure Dumbledore died then return home till they were summoned. They arrived at Spinner’s End. They knew that Wormtail was gone, so they were alone.

Severus used his wand to quickly heal their wounds from Buckbeak. Once healed Hermione went into the kitchen. She returned ten minutes later to find him on the couch with his head in his hands. She sat the tea on the coffee table and sat beside him.

“I…I…can’t…believe I killed Albus.” Severus said brokenly.

“Sshh. I know. I know love. This was hard on both of us. But Albus told us to do this. I know that doesn’t help much.” Hermione whispered.

“What…are we…going to do?” he asked.

“I have an idea. You just have to trust me. Do you?” she answered.

Severus nodded. Hermione poured them both a cup of tea. They spent an hour in the living room drinking tea. They then headed upstairs. They got undressed and climbed into bed.

“Hermione, I love you.” he said.

“And I love you. I always will.” she said.

Severus rolled over. He leaned down and gently kissed her. The kiss was full of emotion. Love, regret, fear and uncertainty. Hermione returned the kiss, trying to reassure him. They came apart for air. The couple held each other tight and close. Both unsure of what the morning would bring.
