Chapter 6: The Whole Story

When Severus got out of the shower, he noticed that Hermione still wasn't back. He got dressed and left his room. He decided he would go see her. He knocked on the door and heard Draco's voice.

"Come in," Draco said without getting up off the couch. Severus walked in the door and said hello. Draco said hello back and then with out Severus having to ask, he called for Hermione.

"Hermione! Get your cute butt out here!" Draco yelled, making Severus scowl at him. Hermione emerged from her room but didn't see Severus.

"Yes Draco?"

"Your boyfriend's here," Draco said, making Hermione blush. She turned to Severus.

"Thank you Draco," Hermione said in a sarcastic tone. She went over to Severus, took his hand and led him into her room. Draco smirked and watched her. Once they were alone Hermione turned to Severus.

"I thought it would be better if we had some privacy."

"So he knows?"

"Draco?" Severus nodded. "Yes he knows. I didn't tell him, he figured it out on his own. But we don't have to worry; he's not going to tell anyone. And speaking of people finding out, I told you that I wouldn't get you in trouble. Well this, what we're doing, could get you, and me, in trouble. But mostly you."

"I know, but I am willing to risk it." Hermione smiled. He took her hand and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around his waist and felt a sudden moment of déjà vu.

This was all so new yet it seemed so familiar. She still couldn't get over the fact that she had gone back in time and fell in love with a seventeen year old Severus without even knowing it. She smiled thinking about the dreams she had had about him and her. She particularly enjoyed some of the more detailed ones. The ones that she wished she could be doing right now. You could if you wanted to, said a little voice in her head.

She looked up into his eyes and smiled. She leaned up and gave him several small kisses. After each one she pulled away as if trying to tease him but would then lean against him again. Finally he was getting frustrated and pulled her into a deeper kiss. She smiled but allowed him access to her mouth. She pressed up against him and heard him moan. Without breaking the kiss she took his hands and placed them on her back. Her shirt "accidentally" slid up a few inches show that he was touching her skin. He slid his hands up slowly and rested on her ribs. This had caused her to shiver. She slipped her hands beneath his enormous teaching robe and slid it off.

"That's much better," she said as her hands roamed his upper body. She could feel his lean muscles through his shirt. She gasped as his hands made their way up her back and then back around to her stomach. All of a sudden Draco came bursting through the door.

"Hermione…whoa!" He stopped as soon as he saw Hermione and Severus. Severus quickly removed his hands from under her shirt and stepped away from her. Hermione's face was red from embarrassment. "Sorry to interrupt but Ginny's here to see you Hermione. I just wanted to make sure she didn't walk in on…well this actually."

"Thank you Draco. Tell her I'll be out in a moment." Draco smirked and left. Hermione sighed.

"Sorry. I can't just send her away. So I guess you have to go."

"All right." He kissed her good bye, grabbed his coat off the floor, and left. Hermione followed a few seconds after him and found Ginny sitting on the couch. She was looking from the door, where Severus had just left, to Hermione, with a very suspicious look on her face. Finally she had a realization and grinned. Hermione tried not to smile and looked around the room, anywhere but at Ginny. Ginny stood up, grabbed Hermione's arm and dragged her into her room.

"Aren't you supposed to be at Quidditch?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Don't try to change the subject, Hermione. Why was Snape in your room? And why, when I told Draco to get you, did he come back and say that you were 'preoccupied' with something?"

"I don't know."

"If you're going to lie to me Hermione, at least make sure that your clothes are on straight." Hermione looked down and saw that her shirt was twisted. She straightened it and took a deep breath.

"Would you like the whole story?" Ginny nodded grinning.

"Ok…" Hermione told Ginny all about how she had gone to Severus' rooms and he had kissed her. She told Ginny about how he was the one in her dreams and that it had all been real.

"And you can't tell anyone. Promise?" Hermione said when she had finished her story.

"I promise. So does anyone else know?"

"Draco does. But just you and him."

"You told Draco before you told me?"

"Well Draco sort of guessed. And he also sort of helped."

"Ok well at least I'm not the last to know. So have you two had sex yet?"

"Me and Draco!" Hermione almost choked.

"No! You and Snape."

"No. I just don't think I'm ready. I want it to be perfect."

"How much more perfect could it get? You have been in love with him for ages and now you find out he's been in love with you for twenty years."

"I don't know Gin. I don't want to get him in trouble."

"I think if he cared more about his job than you, you wouldn't be in this position in the first place." Damn Ginny was right. She wanted to sleep with him yet she didn't want to. Maybe she was just scared.

"I guess. This is just all so overwhelming. I don't want to rush into anything."

"That makes sense. Especially since he's a teacher. I just want you to know that I'm here for you. If you ever need to talk, I'm here."

"Thanks Gin," Hermione said smiling.

"And when it does happen, I want to be the first to know," Ginny added. Hermione laughed.

"Ok Ginny, you'll be the first to know."

"Good." Hermione got up and walked Ginny out of the room. As Hermione was about to shut the door, Dumbledore appeared.

"Professor! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

"That's perfectly fine Miss Granger, may I come in?" Dumbledore asked. Hermione noticed he was smiling and his eyes were twinkling more than usual.

"Yes of course. Come in." Dumbledore looked around the common room.

"This is a very nice room. I haven't been up here in ages. Do you mind if we go some place more private? I have something I wish to discuss with you."

"Sure, we can go in my room." Hermione was very suspicious but led him into her room anyways.

"Miss Granger I would like to talk to you about your relationship with Severus." Hermione's heart stopped. Oh God, he knows. Kiss you future good bye Hermione, she thought.

"My relationship with Professor Snape?"

"Yes. I am certain that by know he has told you about his past."

"Yes he has."

"And I am aware of the events of last night and this morning." Here it comes.

"You are?" He nodded.

"Look Headmaster, before you fire him and expel me, please let me explain." She paused half expecting him to expel her on the spot. When he said nothing, she continued. "It's all my fault. I was the one who went to him. You see I liked him and I just wanted to tell him. Please if anyone deserves to be punished, it's me, not him."

"Who said anything about punishment Miss Granger?" Hermione was confused.

"What do you mean? I thought you came here to expel me for have a relationship with a teacher."

"No, no, Hermione. I think that what you and Severus have is real. I'm not one to deny true love, even if others forbid it. I also think that you will be good for him. Especially after what you two have been through. Even if you don't remember it. That was one of my worst mistakes. I should not have done that to either of you."

"Sorry but what does my not remembering, have to do with you?"

"Well I'm the one who made it so you wouldn't remember. I didn't want to alter the future. But then I found out about the relationship you and Severus had and I realized my mistake. So I found a way to get that ring, which he had given you, and I made sure that you would somehow get it as a child. I also charmed it so that you would have dreams of what had happened between you and Severus. I had hoped that this would make you remember. Severus was miserable without you Hermione. I'll never forget the first time he saw you, when you arrived here at Hogwarts. He smiled like neither I nor anyone else had seen him smile before." Hermione was smiling.

"I just wanted to let you know that I approve. I would just like you to be careful around other students and teachers, because unlike me, they might not be as understanding."

"Thank you so much Professor. You don't know how much this means to me…to us."
