Your POV

Sitting at my desk I nibble on my lip, Severus was doing a small grocery run for me as I needed a few things for dinner. Thinking now would be a good time to reply to Minerva's earlier letter. Grabbing a pen I sigh gently as I look at the page.

Minerva

I've spoken to Severus and although he does want to come back to Hogwarts, come back to being a teacher, he's worried. When I asked why he told me that he's worried what others will think, that everyone won't understand why he did what he did. When it was in Dumbledore's plan.

I was able to ease him a little, I think he needs a visit before the term starts and I might be able to get him to go. I'm sure he misses you and could use a little more support than just me. We should have an opening here soon and we can go to the castle before the new term starts so you can talk to him more about it.

Potions Professor

Hearing the door open and shut I smile as he's home already. Getting up I whistle for my own owl and he lands at the window. Smiling gently I pet his head.

"You know where this is going, Dusty"

Taking the letter from my hand be takes off and heads to Hogwarts. Watching him fly for a moment I head down the stares to see Severus. He's in the kitchen with the various groceries on the counter.

He has his back to me as he looks at something for a moment. Walking over quietly I put my hands on his back and he jumps. Giggling as he turns around he wraps his arms around my waist as he leans down to kiss me. Humming into it I smile at him as he raises a brow.

"I sent the letter back to Minerva. I have an idea if you'll humor me."

Furrowing his brows he sits in a chair as I hold his hands.

"I think we should visit the castle before the term starts. I think it'll be good for you"

He hums gently as his thumbs rub across my knuckles. He looks at my hands for a moment. His fingers gliding over the ring he gave me. A small smile comes to his face as he sees it, the same ring that's never left my hand since he put it on.

"That sounds like a good idea. When did you want to go?"

"We have an opening here soon that we could take. I think it would be good for you to see Minerva since it's been so long."

He narrows his eyes at me for a moment before smiling gently.

"I'll make sure everything is ready"

Smiling wide I kiss him again, he pauses for a moment before he leans down to return with a slower and deeper kiss as he keeps me close to him.

Cupping his face with my hands I smile gently as I pull on his hair slightly. He makes a small noise as he puts his hands in my hips.

Wrapping my arms around him I smile gently as he kisses my jaw and my neck.

"Severus, not in the kitchen"

He chuckles as his wand comes out of his sleeve. Flicking it at the windows in the kitchen the curtains close and he pulls me down onto the floor.

His hands roam my body as I close my eyes. Biting my lip slightly as I realize it had been a minute since we've been intimate.

Which is mostly on my part since I've been worried of his recovery and I haven't been wanting him to overexert himself and lose his progress.

His hands grab my hips hard as he pants slightly. The breath already out of him as he fiddles with my pants. Reaching my hands to his I get his attention.

"Easy, let me help"

He nods as I unbutton the pants and he can take them off. He throws them somewhere before he leans back towards me. Putting my hands on his shoulder I smile at him before kissing him again. My leg finding his hips as I wrap them around him, pulling him into me.

His breathing changes as he grinds against me slightly. His hands dancing over my body as he lifts my shirt to get to the soft skin underneath. Shivering a little he chuckles at me as I feel my face light up.

Rubbing small circles here and there with his hands he finds the area that's gone without his touch for months. Bucking my hips into his hand he chuckles at me as he smirks.

"Interesting reaction"

Shaking my head gently I look at him as he watches me for a moment. His hand rubs my folds through my underwear as he watches me. I squirm slightly as he does which only makes him smirk more.

It wasn't long until I was soaking from his teasing and not able to handle more. He had pulled away from me to get himself ready as he grabs my leg to put it over his shoulder.

My heart fluttering at the sight of him above me. He smirks to me for a moment as he rubs against me again. Pushing in after a moment as we both give a satisfied noise.

Pulling him into me as his hands support his weight i kiss his chest gently, nibbling here and there as he leans down to get a better angle. Bouncing against him as I hold onto his arms, biting my lip as I close my eyes. His breath on my neck as he nibbles on it here and there. Leaving a few marks as he does.

"Severus~"

He shivers at the sound of his name. He gives a slight gruff noise as he continues his motion. Holding my hand over my mouth as he gets a new angle after he shifts his weight slightly his hand reaches for my wrist to move it.

"What have I told you about that?"

Whining gently as I try to contain my voice he gets me to look at his dark eyes.

"You do not get to deprive me of your touch and your noises anymore. I want to hear you"

Gasping gently as he flicks his hips at me, getting a little harder as he does. I give into him as he hums in my ear. His hand hooking my knees as he pushes my legs back, my arms go above my head. He looks down at me as he sits up and smirks at his latest handy work. Arching my back slightly as I get closer and closer he leans down to kiss me. Suppressing the noises that he wanted to hear only minutes before.

Finishing together we pant as he looks at me his hand brushing some hair from my face as I look at him. He kisses me again.

"I love you, so much"

Smiling I cup his face. "I love you more"
