Epilogue
Chapter 8 of 8
JTBJABHermione and Severus spend some quality time at the house in France...
ReviewedDisclaimer: Potterverse is not mine. The plot, however, is.
Hermione smiled happily, stretching out on the decking and letting her skin soak up the sun’s rays.
“Severus, could you put some sunscreen on my back, please?”
“Of course.” Moving from his comfortable position in the shade of the house, he settled next to Hermione’s warm body. Untying her bikini strings at her neck and back, he squirted some lotion onto his hands and warmed it before starting to apply it to his wife.
“Mmmm… thank you.” Sighing, Hermione wriggled slightly, causing her bikini top to shift and uncover her left breast; too relaxed and drowsy to notice, she squealed in surprise when Snape tweaked her nipple.
“No,” he whispered into her ear, rolling her over till she was on her back, “thank you.” Positioning his knee between her legs, he lowered himself onto her before letting their lips crash together, revelling in the feel of his wife’s arms as they wrapped tightly around him.
The End

Cute little ending. I think this could have also been a nice longer story, but it was good this way too. Wonderful job.~Jen
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Ah that's the problem with exchanges... having time limits restricts what you can do... just look at FATLITW - I started that in 2004!!!! Lol :DI'm glad you liked the ending though :D And thank you for reviewing!
What??? Only one more chapter? You must be kidding. I'm so sad because I really enjoy this. But as I suppose all will be well in the end, I can't really complain.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
I'm sorry... but at least its complete... right? :D Oh, and you'll like the last chapter :p apart from maybe its length... (its in the queue)
Yay, that is sooooo sweet! I like it!!
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
:D Thank you for your review!
lovely update. thanks
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Thank you... and the next chapter should be up any day now :D might even be tonight if the admins are kind to us :p
Well, Hermione, Bill, and Charlie had a wonderful lunch, and the young men obviously gave her the encouragement she needed to think about her situation as "much bigger than Molly's feelings. Even bigger than hers. It was about building a future, and being happy."Very good advice! Very good chapter!Beth
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Thank you... on both accounts :D
She's really dense. Is it because she's drunk that she's being so obtuse? Does Severus deserve such a woman if she can't even see the forest for the trees?
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Lol that is the question isn't it.... does she deserve him? Hmmm... surely one of us would be more deserving!!! ;p
She's abit on the dense side these days. But it makes for a good story.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
We can all be dense at times... which can be amusing to watch... and look back on... but also frustrating! Thank you for reviewing!
Awww. poor Hermione. She must feel so torn. If only she knew that it is Severus who's in love with her. I'm looking forward to reading more.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
She should have asked him... I mean, he's not a brother to her...Thank you for reviewing!
OMG! I'm glad I never had to be subject to a truth or dare spell! That was an awesome idea though. I hope it helps Hermione realize that she's got the hots for someone (our snarky professor!) Thanks for the update! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Thank you :p I had originally wanted there to be a few more personal questions to add to some fun... but decided that as amusing as Hermione's embarrassment would be, it would detract from the story :( oh well, I'll just have to use that in another story, lol!
It was awesome that the boys took the situation so well. But Molly seriously needs a foot up her bum if she keeps this crap up! Thanks for the update. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Most definitely... but then we all know that Hermione can handle herself with Molly if she really has to.Because even if she loses the house... she's not going to stop wanting to marry her off :SThank you for reviewing!
~smiles~ Sometimes, the truth is so obivous that you don't see it. It should be interesting when it comes to her out of the clear blue. Loved the chapter.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Thank you :D It's always the "head desk" realisations that are the most amusing... or the most traumatic...Next chapter will be up asap!
Might have known it wouldn't be that easy.:)
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Lol... could you expect anything less from our duo?Thank you for reviewing!
Anonymous
*giggles* Yeah, well, the obvious can be so unobvious... ;o)
Author's Response: Exactly :D
Thank you for reviewing!
everyone else had been such a close friend from such a young age that they were more family than husband material.
I don't think Severus fit in that description. Surely she forgot to thin about him.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Ah, but we always hide from ourselves our deepest longing... :( Poor Hermione.Soon though, his words will come back to her. For her to read his letter in desperation.Thank you for reviewing!
For someone so bright, she can be quite dense... Lovely chapter though!!
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Indeed! As can we all ;pThank you for reviewing!
How funny that Mollly is so eager to get Hermione married to one of her sons, any son at all! I had to stifle my laughter so as not to wake anyone!
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
I've come to the conclusion that Molly is mildly insane :DThank you for reviewing!
Dammit, Molly! MYOB already! Once she's run through all of her sons, who can she throw at Hermione next? Curious to see how soon she takes Snape up on his offer, next chapter maybe <hint, hint> ?
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Maybe... or maybe not... you'll find out soon *evil grin*Thank you for reviewing!
that is so molly!! well done and i look forward to the next chapter. thanks so much
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
I'm glad you think so :D Next chapter should be up soon!Thank you for reviewing!
Oh, Molly! Poor Fleur, Molly would be the mother in law from hell.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
The mother-in-law you love to hate... and hate to love *grins* my feelings towards her are no way based on my Grandmother at all... nope... nobody I know at all ;p
Nice Job!! Keep up the good work!
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Thank you for reviewing! Next chapter should be up asap!
Looking forward to more of this wonderful story. Although I have the urge to write a story where someone slaps the crap out of Molly. What an interferring hag. lolMore soon please.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
*grins* Please do, I'd love to read it. Lol.I feel for this story, that it would be much better revenge for Hermione to ignore her help in so much as to put her sons off and for her to eventually end up with... well... you'll see. (Although it's pretty obvious ;p)More up soon!
I enjoy this immensely but I do miss Severus a lot. When is he going to propose. I hope immediatly after she tells him Molly's sheme to marry her to one of his sons at any cost.
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
It couldn't possibly be as simple as that.Or could it?!*giggles*
Is she noe finally desperate enough? Or are you going to pull some other bloke from your hat? This is such a fun story, I can't wait for more!
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Now, I hadn't planned on it... but I guess I could just list the entire order, maybe set up an Order meeting for her to go around. But I think that would get a little tedious of her response of "Sorry, I really don't think we'd be compatible." With the various inner thoughts. Lol. Although I imagine for some characters, that could create quite an interesting outcome.
Great update! Molly's letter should terrify anyone who had even the sligthest interest in any of her sons to hide and/or run far, far away:-))
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
Hermione should accidently send it to Rita Skeeter... lol... although I'm sure if she did, it would still end up with her worse off. I can see it now... "Potter's Muggleborn friend so desperate for love, she begs Weasley Matron for one of her sons" ROFLMAO
Wow, Molly leaves no stone unturned does she? I suppose it a way it's flattering that someone wants you as a part of their family that much, but really! And you just know if she's sticking her nose into Hermione's business this much now, it would be ten times worse if she actually did marry one of the many Weasley boys...Well, all of the eligible (and several of the ineligible) men are systematically being ticked off of the list-- how soon before Hermione opens Severus' "letter of last resort" that she's holding onto?
Response from JTBJAB (Author of Bound)
I think I would have run a mile after reading her letter... but then I would have already opened Severus's letter... so there you go. Hermione is just too easy to manipulate sometimes :S
