Petals

Chapter Three

You were wide awake trying to go back to sleep from your nightmares. Hagrid has fallen asleep long ago. You think of the children and Severus wondering if they were slumbering. You rubbed your stomach thinking of a conversation you had with Professor Sprout earlier who was concerned you're already forming more children. You weren't sure if you want more than three, bur of course, you would of accept them. You wonder if Severus would try to accept them as his own for you know the first time was a mistake. You smile at the thought of the man glad he did for he was such a caring father. You slide your hand under you pillow thinking of your mother's demand as you reveal the cigarettes. You think about the danger knowing it was a serious situation, but why no out of all time? Why in the hell did you mention Voldemort? It basically sent Dumbledore into a panic at the fact he was alive and with a God. You couldn't blame him for you've always found him unstable even when you stayed with him as a child. You don't remember how he found you, but his smile imprinted on your mind never having anyone look at you that way before. You grinned slightly him never disappointed when he saw you those few years he took care of you. When you were found by Chiron, he took you away though you had fought to stay. You've only seen your father for small instances then usually in his wrong doings. You hate him though for his crimes and have no desire for him to be around your children.

You make your way out the house as you decided to break your non cigarette break. You don't know what's really pushing you to smoke, but it was enough. You took a long drag thinking of your mother again her being the reason why you started to begin with. You change your thinking process back to Severus wondering once again if he was up. You shyly decide to visit not wanting to be alone. You make your way into the castle quietly having known where he slept because of something years back and a letter. You didn't knock as you make your way in realizing you had an anxiety deep down inside and needed a release. You stop youself looking down at the cigarette in your hand and realized you're trespassing into the room of your children's father. You must be under a spell or potion cause you've gone absolutely insane. Something draws you forward as feeling a heat between you legs. You slip into his covers nipping at his neck. He moans slightly in his sleep as you continue to suck on his neck. You slip your hand down his pants gently rubbing his cock as he finally wakes grabbing at his wand. You felt it pressed up against your throat biting you lip. Severus seen the familiarity in your eyes realizing you're bewitched. He attempts to perform a spell to erase the magic, but you whined not wanting this to end. You kissed him as you got on top of him rubbing against his member. He grabs at your hips knowing it was so wrong, but it felt so right. Suddenly, with a snap of a finger, you blinked  realizing what you were doing. You pulled away turning around once you notice someone else was in the room. The lights turned on revealing no other than Aphrodite.

" Taking advantage of a helpless woman. For shame Severus, and I had actually betted against it."

You get off of Snape covering yourself as if you were naked. Why had she done this? To embarrass you? Snape apologizes to you, but you stay quiet wanting to erase what just happened. Your opinion of him completely changed not realizing he was breaking within. You asked what she wanted finally gaining your voice back.

" I wanted you two in a room together, so we can talk. I'm doing this under many eyes, so I had to be discreet about it. Many wouldn't of agreed with what I had just done, but I'm sending children out to die while you shack up here in peace. Do you know that they're trying to formally draft you? I would of waited if it wasn't for the first seige coming soon. I need a Earthquaker and a witch, and I get what I want. If you deny me, I will involve your children. I have my way around flowers, you know?"

" Fine. I'll go."

" Oh, we're not done. Believe it or not, we're discussing what we should do with these... children. Pan has discussed that they're stronger than they should be. We might have a problem."

" Then take away their immortality like you did me."

" Already did. It didn't seem to make a difference. We're not sure what to do yet about it, but we'll let you know when we do. For know, we'll have to stop what's going on in that belly of yours like so."

You suddenly grasp at your belly yelling out. Snape wraps an arm around you asking if you were okay. You say nothing as your stomach glows in response lightning suddenly shooting back at Aphrodite in response. It barely missed nor did it scare her. She sat back in her chair sighing.

" We'll, that's a problem."

" I need a smoke."

You get out of bed grabbing the pack out of your back pocket.

" But what about the baby?"

Aphrodite says sarcastically.

" It literally just survived you. I think they'll be fine."
