Hi, I'd love to read something from your Severus/Hermione wips- n.2. I haven't read any Harry Potter fanfic in years! :-) :-) And Happy Birthday! :-)

Hi Kristina!! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!! ♥ Here’s a tiny snippet from a Severus/Hermione A/B/O AU fic where Hermione’s a Hogwarts Professor, and Severus has asked her to join and help him in gathering some rather…unique potions ingredients in the Forbidden Forest.

“As I’ve mentioned before, Professor Granger,” Severus’ eyes gleamed, and Hermione’s heart attempted to leap straight out of her chest when she noticed the corner of his lips twitch up into what she knew was a smirk, “should you wish to, you may call me by my given name.”

His voice seemed to drop as her name fell from his lips, and as his dark eyes remained fixed steadily on her, Hermione felt a very familiar warmth begin to coil deep in her stomach.

Before Hermione could force out some sort of intelligent reply, or yet another reminder that Severus was still welcome to use her given name as well, the alpha spoke again, this time, with a raised, questioning brow. “Shall we enter my quarters? There are a few things I must gather before we leave on our excursion to the Forbidden Forest.”

“Oh, of course,” was Hermione’s quick reply. Yet the second it dawned on her that she was still standing before the door to Severus’ rooms, blocking their entrance, she felt her face flame slightly before she gave a sheepish smile and took a few steps to the side.

In reply, Severus’ eyes glimmered with amusement before he looked away and moved to reach for the door. Once the door was pushed open, Severus walked inside and Hermione hesitantly followed after him. It was the second she noticed the door close behind her that the omega felt her heart begin to race.

#2!!!!!

Hi QDrew! Thank you so much for sending in an ask!! ♥ Here’s a tiny preview from yet another Severus/Hermione A/B/O AU, this one’s set during Hermione’s “8th” year at Hogwarts, where she ends up becoming Severus’ T.A. in Potions.

As the two walked nearly side-by-side, Hermione was keenly aware of her racing heartbeat. Though she forced her eyes to look ahead of her, it took every ounce of her self-control to stop herself from tearing her gaze to the side, to stop herself from gazing at Severus’ profile. 

Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see the alpha’s hand by his side, his pale skin in stark contrast to the black of his robes. Something in her yearned to reach out and take that hand in hers, to feel his warmth completely envelope her hand as they walked down the halls together. For them to stand even closer together so that their shoulders and arms would brush against one another with each and every step they took.  

“Miss Granger,” his deep voice jolted her from her thoughts, “we are here.” 

Feeling her face heat in embarrassment for getting lost in such thoughts about the alpha, that was standing no less than a meter away from her, Hermione looked away and followed Severus as he opened the door to his quarters and walked inside. 

A pleasant silence filled the room after Seveurs shut the door and Hermione slowly made her way towards the chair she’d usually occupy when she was in the alpha’s sitting room. 

"Tea?” the alpha asked as he watched the omega take a seat. 

Hermione offered Severus a small, grateful smile. “Yes, please.”

Without another word, the alpha turned and left. 

Once Severus was out of sight, Hermione closed her eyes, took in a deep breath of air, and allowed herself to take in the soothing, familiar scents of the alpha’s sitting room.
