Dumbledore had finally agreed that Severus could visit you at your (now shared) home in Spinner's End an extra night a week. Being newlyweds, the old headmaster didn't see how he could refuse (and with your sneaky letter of encouragement to let his Potions Master out of the castle, he felt he had no choice but to agree.) Unlike normal professors, Snape was the head of Slytherin house. He took pride in his work at Hogwarts and often stalked the corridors at night to throw out detentions should he find a misbehaving student. This meant it was difficult for him to leave the school during term time, usually only being able to escape for a day at the weekend if his work permitted him to. Homework and grading was a killer. So to have this midweek pick me up, was refreshing. For both you and Severus, even if he didn't admit it.
Wednesday was the perfect day. Slap bang in the middle of the week. It meant there was only two or three days until you saw him again, regardless of what day he came on the weekend. Plus, now that Dumbledore had cleared the professors schedule from 5pm, all Severus had to do was travel outside of the large Hogwarts gates and apparate straight to you. Which is exactly what he had done today.
The 'pop' of his apparition was always music to your ears, you scrambled off the couch to meet him. Ever the gentleman, always turning up in the hallway as if he had just innocently walked through the door. You never spared a moment to wonder what it would be like to marry someone who came home every night, you appreciated time alone but it meant you appreciated time with your Sev even more. He was placing his cloak on the stand by the door as you leaned against the doorframe with your arms crossed and a massive grin on your face.
As soon as he turned to see you, your arms stretched out to greet him with a tight hug. Severus smiled. Right on cue, as always, you were there waiting for him. Not that you'd dare be anywhere else.
"I found out-" You cut him off with a small kiss, "today that you sent a letter to Dumbled- Are you just going to keep- Right, kissing first."
You couldn't keep from smiling as Severus' palm rested on your cheek, his other hand on the small of your back to keep you close to him, as he gave you the long sweet kiss that you craved. Severus was quick to leave you standing there though, with a pout on your face, walking into the sitting room and taking a seat on the new two-piece sofa you purchased together a short while ago. You were quick to join him, flicking your wand towards the door so that two steaming cups of tea came floating in from the kitchen. You had already boiled the water prior to his arrival and it was now warm enough to sip as you threw your legs over Snape's lap and laid your head against his shoulder. He caught his cup in his free hand, the other holding you against him, whilst you grabbed yours and held it tightly with two hands to let the hot china warm your hands.
Conversation flowed freely between the two of you for a while. Innocently enjoying each others company, relaxing and being close to one another. Severus placed his cup on the small table beside him and you surrendered your own to him so that he could do the same with yours.
"It feels like you've been here for hours," You mumbled as you buried your face into his neck, hugging him.
"Time flies." Severus mused.
You lifted your head up so that you could send him a smile. He touched your chin gently to guide your face towards his, so he could press his lips against yours.
You loved Wednesdays.
