The Scientist
Chapter 3 of 6
neelixA short account of how Hermione became aware of Severus.
ReviewedAfter they had shared their first kiss, Hermione and Severus had spent the rest of the day ensconced in an armchair beside the fire in his private quarters. There had been quite a bit of snogging, most of it initiated by Hermione, and quite a bit of not talking and staring into the fire.
Severus hadn’t really known what to do next. His instinct had told him that dragging her to his bedchamber and ravishing her on his bed might not be the thing to do at that moment. And because he knew he shouldn’t do it, it was all he could think about. Her breasts had been squashing softly against his chest each time Hermione had moved in to kiss him, and the aroma from her hair had made him want to keep her curled up on his lap for the rest of his life. No food or drink would be necessary. He had all he needed, right there.
*******
The week after the first kiss had been exquisite torture for Hermione. Her head had been full of thoughts of him, and when she closed her eyes at night, the taste of him had flooded her senses and pooled between her legs with a deep, throbbing ache. But he had made no move to entice her into bed, and she had started to doubt herself. She knew that she aroused him. The evidence was clear whenever they had retreated to his chambers at the end of each day and curled up in what had become their chair. At times, his erection would be tenting his trousers before he reached for her and pulled her into his waiting arms.
Hermione had taken to pleasuring herself more and more to relieve the tension, and the frustration had driven her mad with longing. The weekend had seemed the ideal chance to fulfill both of their needs, but he had kissed her goodnight and wished her a good weekend, with no thought of them spending any time together.
Hermione had spent the weekend in tortured agony and missed Severus every minute.
And so it was, on a certain Monday morning in the dungeons, she had set out to seduce a Potions master.
*******
Severus had berated himself constantly for not asking her to visit him over that weekend. It had been on the tip of his tongue, but he knew that if they had hours of free time to spend with each other, he would have given in to his baser instincts. For some reason, he had always wanted this thing with Hermione, whatever it was, to be different.
He hadn’t counted on the witch herself taking matters, literally, into her own hands.
He had been sleeping when she entered his bedchamber, and her polite cough had woken him with a start. He had turned abruptly, pointing his wand at the interruption, and she had giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.
Severus always slept naked, and the bed sheets had tangled between his legs as he twisted towards her. It hadn’t taken him long to realize that up until that point, his bare buttocks had been facing the door.
‘How long have you been there?’ he had murmured with a low growl.
To give Hermione her due, she had had the decency to blush to the roots of her hair before she lied.
‘Not long,’ she had replied before nibbling on her bottom lip.
‘But long enough to enjoy the view?’ he had said with a smirk.
Hermione had burst out laughing and covered her face with her hands.
‘Did you want something?’ he had whispered quietly, and Hermione had peeked at him through her fingers to make sure he wasn’t a towering inferno of rage. Once she had been sure of him, she had stood tall, dropped her hands by her sides and walked towards him where he lay.
‘You, Severus,’ she had whispered, and tears had sprung into her eyes. ‘I love you. I want you.’
Severus had stared as the meaning behind her words permeated his sleep-fogged brain. His eyes had softened as he looked at her, and with a slow, deliberate shuffle, he had made room for her in the bed.
******
Although she had had some experience pleasuring her own body, and knew which bits went where, Hermione was still technically a virgin at the time. Still, she had thrown herself enthusiastically into proceedings, and had explored his body thoroughly with her small, deft fingers. She had weighed his testicles experimentally, rolled them between her fingers and thumbs gently, and grinned sexily at the moan that escaped from Severus as she brushed his glistening cock with her breasts. Her vagina was throbbing and she could feel her labia plumping up with desire for him, and when his hands delved between her thighs, Hermione had known she had officially died and gone to heaven, or wherever naughty witches go to when they die.
She had caressed him, touched him with feather light fingers, and eagerly licked whichever bit of him had been in front of her as they rolled around his huge bed. And as his mouth sought hers for the umpteenth time, he had flipped her onto her back and pinned her with his legs.
‘You are tormenting me,’ he had hissed at her, then chuckled at the gasp that escaped her mouth as he travelled down her body with his lips, kissing and sucking each nipple, lingering as he nuzzled her pubic hair and then plunging in, tongue first, lapping and licking and generally driving her mad with lust.
She had orgasmed almost immediately, and before she realised it he had positioned himself above her, nestled the head of his cock between her still-pulsing lips, and slowly, gently, but with a determined look on his face, Severus Snape had claimed Hermione Granger as his.
*******
Severus had almost missed breakfast in the Great Hall that day, and even the Slytherin students had giggled as he strode past them, resplendent in his teaching robes, his boots thumping down hard on the tiled floor, and his hair in a mussed up mess on his head where he had forgotten to tame it.
Minerva’s eyebrows had shot up beneath her hairline as he sat down gracefully beside her, and with a discreet flick of her wand, Severus’s hair had righted itself without him ever knowing.

I'd say that NSS's attempts to make you a better writer have succeeded, you're one of those authors i always stop to read, no matter what the description of the story is, because I've enjoyed everything you've written. This was no different, and I loved the wedding scene at the end. So sweet.
Baaha ha ha, he caught her out! Kiss please!!
So beautiful!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I adored seeing the way Severus was with Ceris on her wedding day, ‘Just remember what I said, Ceris. You will always have a home here, whatever happens.’ My father told me the same thing on my wedding day.I'm so glad that he could identify with the look on Albus' face when he saw how he looked at Ceris as her father walked her down the aisle. He knew by the tears in Albus' eyes that his precious daughter would be in good hands.
At the wedding reception, a slightly drunk Severus was clearly still enamored of his bride. I'll bet some of the guests suspected what was on their minds... all that hip grinding would not go unnoticed. And if they hadn't noticed the growing ardor of Severus and his wife, they certainly did when the Snapes shared a searing kiss. All the catcalling and yahooing didn't faze them... they had other things on their minds.I chuckled when Carly winked at her mother when told that she and her father were leaving... and that she and her siblings did not need to hurry back.Thank you for such a happy and heartwarming story. I must have needed some "happy thoughts" this afternoon because reading your tale has really put a smile on my face.Beth

Bless you. You write very nice reviews and make me smile a lot!
Real Life had got in the way of my reading this and then I did the unthinkable and forgot about it! What a fool I am. When I stumbled upon this again today, the first thing I did was kick myself in the arse, and then I started over at chapter one!This is such a lovely chapter. It has made me smile and thank God that I found the story again. Your Severus is the most wonderful husband and father anyone could have!His reactions to his adored wife as she carried their children were perfect, and I liked bath time and the way they would watch for the baby to move a foot or an arm.
His insistence that he would be in the room when his wife gave birth to his children just melted my heart, and I laughed out loud when Hermione winked at the mediwitch when Severus wasn't looking. Seeing how the new father responded when he held his son for the first time warmed my heart.All four of their children were completely loved, and they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were the center of their parent's world. The new home that Severus and Hermione found on the outskirts of Hogsmeade became a place filled with joy. It was a very special moment for Severus when he realized that his wife had unconsciously used Legilimency to let him know that she was "glad I found you, too." It doesn't get any better than this!Beth

There is something amazing that happens inside a reader when they find a story that suits them. I am very glad that for you, one of them was written by me!I loved writing The Scientist - It was inspired by the Coldplay song, and intended as a one-shot, but it just grew. I esescially love writing Severus with children, too. Thank you so much for the loevly comments x
I've only just come across this and really loved it - it's adorable! How lovely to find something that's truly 'romantic' and gives Severus not just a little bit of love but a whole lifetime of the happiness he deserves!Well done for writing and sharing :-)

My grandparents had that kind of relationship, even at the end of their lives. I think we all envied it, in spite of the smirks. Thank you for this lovely story and the nice memories of my own that it produced.

Thanks for the review... I love to see people who are passionate about each other, and I think my SS/HG always are!

ha... thanks!
I L.O.V.E. this story! A wonderful break from the heart-wrenching, trying-to-read-through-tears stuff. You got the characters spot on... well spot on according to what's in my head at least. And their kid marrying Harry's kid... in any other story it would have been terribly cheesy, but here, it's perfect!:D Keep up the excellent work
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
Thanks! It was just a little thing buzzing around my head and intended as a one shot... trouble is it ran away with me and even I wanted to know...what happens next? lol... thanks for reviewing.

*sniffles* That was so beautiful! From Severus almost crying in front of his daughter (makes me think of my wedding and my own sniffling father) to the perfect end, in which you can just feel how much they love each other. This was a wonderful story, from start to finish. Do you have any plans for writing any more sshg?
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
ahhh thanks! I loved writing this you know. I do love a bit of warm and fuzzy. I have written quite a few ss/hg stuff and most of it is posted on aff.net because I dont have an active beta. However, I do intend to post more here. Thanks for asking :)
Response from kizzy7 (Reviewer)
Is aff.net fanfiction.net? Alas, I have yet to venture into ff.net. I mostly just read here and ash and owl. Maybe I'll go look, however...

Great chapter. I thought it was really cute. Keep up the good work!~Jen
This story is a nice sweet balance to the other dark, melodramatic stories about our favorite pair (don't get me wrong I like melodrama too!) It is just so Disney sweet I want to sing ...and they lived happily ever after!! Yay.I love, love, love it!!!
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
Oh good grief... you'll be getting them singing that annoying song from High School Musical next!! I know it's fluffy but Disney?? arrrghhhhh..... *ponders whether to include a kidnap scene in next chapter*
Response from geomancer (Reviewer)
Sorry, it was wrong of me to compare to Disney, there was plenty of lovely sex that would never be found in that kind of story.Hey, though, wouldn't it fun if there was a High School Musical kind of challenge? You know, Magical European Boarding School Musical! Could be a fun thing!!
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
Don't apologise! Your review made me laugh out loud... but that challenge.... Harry and Ginny dueting beneath Hogwarts Tower... Severus and Hermione avoiding each other until they realise they're in love... It might have legs! lol

I like the pregnancy bit where she would go into his classroom for a cuddle. Can just see the glare!
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
Ha! I liked that bit too - I had to draw on my own experience of pregnancy, where sometimes the only thing that works is reassurance from your man!

Oh, I simply love this story! You have such a wonderful, beautifully elegant way with words, neelix. I absolutely adore happy, fluffy stories, that just focus on severus and hermione, happy and together without some gruesome, unfortunate twist! And I always feel that there are not enough of these types of stories around. Happy, happy fluff!!
Response from neelix (Author of The Scientist)
oh wow! What a nice review! Thank you so much. I agree with you, Hermione and Severus deserve to be happy... why should some grumpy old hard done by ex-Death Eater come along and spoil it? Glad you're enjoying this - the last chapter will be up very soon!
