A/N: Okay! I haven't written in a while because a small little thing called LIFE got in the way. I'm really sorry! But, it happens you know. But, hopefully I will have another chapter by Thursday. I'm not going to thank the reviewers individually but I am going to next chapter though. I will thank you all though! I will answer the number one question. Yes I am going to finish this story. So never fear! Not much dialogue in this chapter though, more descriptive, and this isn't in all detail but this is rated R.
"Hermione!" Hermione whipped her head around and glared towards her best female friend. "Excuse Me, Professor Granger." Hermione watched as Ginny Weasley corrected her self, blushing red as her hair. Hermione smiled at her friend to let Ginny know it was alright.
"Professor Granger, I need to speak with you privately." Ginny looked at Hermione with a look and the tone in the voice that spoke out loud -I-Need-to-Talk-to-You.
"Sure Ms. Weasley why don't you come by my office when you get a chance." Hermione hoped Ginny was getting the hint. Ginny smiled and Hermione knew Ginny did get the hint.
Ginny walked into the Great Hall and Hermione decided to go to outside. It was the middle of October, it was fall and that meant the perfect weather. It was the perfect weather for her, the perfect weather to think, and her favorite walks around the lake.
Hermione walked out side of Hogwarts and felt the cool breeze fly through her hair. For some reason she felt like crying. As she walked against the wind the cool breeze teased her eyes, making them watery. She thought about the kisses she shared with Severus. Hermione did not speak with Severus alone since her birthday, unless at staff meetings. They had passed each other in the hall and after a couple of glances around Hermione had walked closer to him and they had leaned so close as if to kiss, but with just a brush of the noses, with the noise of the kids coming from dinner they leaped aside and walked into different directions.
Hermione settled herself against a tree facing the lake but secluded to the school's view. Closed her eyes, and allowed another cool breeze to flow through her long wavy hair; she could feel her hair rap around the round tree. Hermione let a tear fall and then soft lips kissed her face. Hermione eyes snapped open to see Severus Snape kissing her tears away.
"Hermione." She looked up at him startled at the softness but yet firmness in his voice.
"Severus, I've been so busy. I wanted to go see yo- oh." Hermione was cut off with Severus soft lips kissed down her face to her lips down her neck. Severus loosened Hermione's teaching robes and Hermione helped him. Severus caressed Hermione's curves through the fabric of her clothes. Starting to remove Severus robes she couldn't help but feel that this was right.
She was outside, it was fall, her favorite season, the wind was cool, but with the heated passion that she was experiencing with Severus was no match. She looked up as Severus was trailing kisses down, down, and further down. The moon was a beautiful crescent; few stars were around the moon, allowing the moon to have its beauty on its own.
Both, Hermione and Severus, were now with out their clothes and Hermione was straddling Severus. Soon after several kisses Hermione felt Severus enter her, and couldn't help but let out a small moan, and bit down on Severus shoulder to cut it off. She didn't want to attract any attention towards the two. The two began moving as one and Hermione noticed how they no longer cared bout attracting any attention as their grunts, and moans grew louder as they came, and shuddered as one. Hermione lay on Severus panting relaxing. Without covering themselves they laid there with the nice October breeze blowing against them. The breeze cooling the heated sweat that came from them making love.
Soon Hermione dressed Severus by hand. Buttoning every single button, smoothing out every crease, and stealing kisses on him when she could. He didn't return the stolen kisses on his behalf, but that was expected, he was Severus Snape. Severus did not redress her in return but when she did put on her teaching robes over her muggle clothes he did kiss her neck softly before he buttoned it, concealing her usually milky but now heated, skin.
Hermione and Severus walked into Hogwarts; the students were all in bed in time for curfew. Well the ones that weren't rebellious, anyway. Severus went down to his dungeons with only one word to Hermione "Hamlet." Hermione nodded understanding him. Walking towards the sixth floor Hermione was lost in her thoughts of what she thought was a passionate night she had so far had with Severus. Taking a shower, and changing into a silk tank and silk pants, crimson and gold, of course, she walked back down towards the dungeons, faced the painting of Salazar Slytherin and said Potions. Walked into Severus bed chambers, moved back the canopy and climbed into bed next to Severus. She hadn't expected him to hold her, but he did move close to her enough to let her know that he was there for her. They slept through the night and eventually Hermione felt Severus hold her. She smiled and dreamt of the future of what she wished to come.
