Someone You Loved

Chapter 15

Sunday Morning

Hermione woke before Severus and rushed around the apartment getting the twins breakfast, bathed and dressed ready for their Sunday lunch with the Malfoy's.

Severus awoke to find his bed empty and the sound of his children's laughter. Severus got out of his bed grabbing his black silk dressing gown and made his way to the living room.

'I look pretty.' Piper shouted as she twirled around in her new light pink dress.

'You're beautiful my darling.' Hermione said as she pulled Piper to her. 'And you my favorite boy are handsome.' She said holding both children in her arms.

Hermione began to tickle her two children taking in the delight of their little laughs.

'Good morning.' Severus said as he looked on a Hermione and the children.

'Daddy!' Piper screamed as she launched herself Severus.

'Good Morning.' Severus replied as he kissed his daughters cheek.

'Do you like my dress Daddy?' Piper asked showing Severus her dress.

'It's lovely.' He replied setting her down. 'And you look very nice in your new clothes Silas.' Severus said opening his arms for his little boy.

Silas walked into Severus' arms wrapping his arms around Severus' neck. Severus placed a kiss to his son's head.

'Now you're up Mr. sleepy, can you watch them whilst I get myself ready?' Hermione said standing up from the floor.

'You should have woken me up.' Severus advised her.

'You needed your sleep.' She replied. 'Give me an hour.'

Hermione made her way into Severus' bedroom and through to his bathroom. Hermione ran herself a bath and lowered herself into the warm bubble bath.

Hermione laid back in the bath allowing her anxieties of the day ahead to wash away. She found herself nodding off but was suddenly awoken by a little person getting into her bath.

'What do you think you're doing?' Hermione said opening one eye to find her naked son sat in her bath.

'I wanted a bath.' He replied smirking, just like his father.

'You already had one this morning.' She said smiling at her son.

'I wanted another.' He replied smartly.

The door suddenly crashed open to find Severus stood before them.

'I think you lost one.' Hermione said smiling up at Severus as Silas moved towards Hermione cuddling up to his mother.

'I thought we agreed to let your mother have some peace and quiet.' Severus said kneeling down before the bathtub.

'It's okay Severus.' Hermione said stroking her son's cheek. 'It's rare I get a bath to myself without one of the twins joining me.'

'Come on Silas, let your mother relax.' Severus said grabbing the black fluffy towel.

'I'll be out in a second darling.' Hermione said kissing Silas' head. 'Mummy needs to wash her hair.'

Silas stood up with the support of his mother and found himself wrapped in a towel by his father.

Severus took his son out of the bathroom leaving Hermione alone again with her thoughts.

Hermione washed her dark hair before she got out of the bath.

As she made her way into Severus' bedroom she found the twins now both in their underwear sat waiting for Hermione.

'Looks like mummy will have to get you both dressed again!' Hermione said as she smiled at the twins lying out on the bed.

'I'm sorry Hermione.' Severus said standing in the doorway. 'They run rings around me.'

Hermione smiled as she took in Severus' appearance. He looked worn out already and had only been awake an hour.

'Why don't you start getting ready.' She said to him as she started to brush out her curls. 'I'll get the twin's sorted….again.'

An hour and a half later, Severus, Hermione and the twins were ready for their Sunday lunch with the Malfoy's.

With the twins now re-dressed in their Sunday best and Severus dressed in his formal black robes, the family made their way to the floo in Severus' office.

Severus stood with the twins waiting for Hermione to join them before they made their way to Malfoy Manor.

'I'm ready.' Hermione sighed as she stood in front of her children and Severus.

'Mummy.' Piper squealed. 'You look sooooo pretty!'

Severus turned and looked at Hermione who stood in front of him. There she was dressed in a beige tuxedo dress that highlighted her small waist with the belt. It framed her breasts perfectly and showed only the slightest bit of cleavage.

Severus looked down Hermione slowly taking in her appearance. He noted the sling back heels she was wearing and that they matched her dress perfectly.

'Is this alright?' Hermione asked looking at Severus who was staring at her. 'Severus?'

'You look beautiful.' He replied.

Hermione smiled at Severus. She moved her curls away from her face and blushed slightly.

'Sure this is okay for lunch?' Hermione asked.

'Perfect.' He replied taking in her beauty.
