Here it is – the big finale. Sorry it's really short, just didn't think I could cope with more drama. Thank you all for reading I hope you are all happy with the ending, much love and all that and I'll see you all next story (once I figure out what it is hehe). I may even consider a sequel, but I need to play about with that see if it would work xxx

Hermione woke up the next morning feeling a little disoriented at first. She looked around Snape's bedroom, taking it all in. It was a decent sized room with the four-poster king sized bed in the middle of it. There was also a wardrobe, a fireplace, a bookcase and a door through to the bathroom. There was also no Snape in it. Hermione got up and walked into the bathroom where she washed and brushed her teeth. When she walked back into the room with a soft green towel around herself she found Snape sitting on the bed with a huge smile on his face. He had next to him a small blue dress which had short sleeved and a bow around the middle. It was adorable really. Hermione walked over to Snape, dropping her towel on the way, and sat down on his knee. "Good morning Severus," she said.

"Good morning Hermione," he replied. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her small naked form close to him. Hermione smiled as she felt him start to get hard again. "You'll be the death of me girl," he smiled as he pushed her back onto the bed again.

About an hour later they were both dressed, Snape in another black shirt and trousers, and Hermione in the dress. Hand in hand they left the room, Snape leading the way. The castle was still deserted but it wouldn't be for long. In just two more days the Hogwarts express would return, bringing back all the students. Snape took Hermione through the entrance and back down to the lake. "This is my favourite place in the whole castle," he explained, "I used to sit here when I came to school here, and I have seen you here looking so beautiful." Hermione blushed, not knowing what to say. She held his hand a little tighter, still radiating love towards him. Snape stopped walking and looked down at her. She really did seem to be glowing, her cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were sparkling, the ripples of the lake reflecting in them. "Hermione, I have brought you here for a reason," he said, dropping to one knee, "I was wondering if you would do me the honour of becoming my wife and making me the happiest man who ever lived."

Hermione was in shock, she couldn't even think of words to string them together. She dumbly nodded her head, and Snape swept her into his arms. Finally she managed to utter a "yes!" and found herself being passionately kissed my Snape again. He reached into his pocket and brought out a tiny silver ring with an emerald on it, and placed it onto her finger before kissing her again.

"Severus!" Came a sharp voice, making both Hermione and Snape leap out of their skins.

"Oh hello Lucius," replied Snape casually.

"After all that has gone on recently, you can't seriously be kissing a student again," sneered Lucius, clearly thinking kissing Hermione would be far beneath him.

"Nope," Hermione replied, looking fondly up at Snape, "he's kissing his fiancée."
