Come away with me in the night…

Her body spoke these words to him as they lay together in bed, merely resting, with the sound of their breathing the only music. Her hair smelt of faint honeysuckle, so pleasing to a nose so used to the harsh smells of herbs and solutions.

Come away with me and I will write you a song…

The curves of his body spoke these words to her, his soft skin so pleasant to her touch. His arms around her made her feel so safe, and protected. Nothing could harm her, nothing else mattered, when she was in his arms.

Come away with me on a bus…

Nowhere else was as comforting to him as the spot next to her. As long as he was there, he was happy. As long as he was there, he was content. As long as he was there, he was… free. Utterly, and completely.

Come away where they can’t tempt us with their lies…

Many had told her that she was foolish to be with him. They said he was too old, she told them age didn’t matter. They said she didn’t know love, she told them it was him. They said she was crazy, she said she was…crazy in love, that is.

And I wanna walk with you on a cloudy day…

His one hand slipped from her waist. It slowly mapped the curves and crevices of her body, ending at the sheet on her other side, his arm resting lightly on her waist. Her skin, as pure as fresh snow, resting on the top of the most beautiful of mountains.

In fields where the yellow grass grows knee high, so won’t you try to come…?

She couldn’t help but smile at the touch of his gentle caresses. Her hand slowly rose, her arm bending until her own hand rested on top of his. As she gently, lovingly grasped it, her head tilted skywards to look tenderly up at him.

Come away with me and we’ll kiss on a mountain top…

He could only gaze upon her with the same tenderness. As his hand curled up around hers, he leaned forward only slightly to place the softest of soft kisses upon her lips. His eyes slid closed as he did so, even though she still remained beautifully etched in his gaze.

Come away with me and I’ll never stop, loving you…

Bliss. That’s what his kisses were to her: bliss. She gratefully accepted it, just as she gratefully returned it. Her own eyes slid closed ever so slowly, never wanting him out of her sight.

And I wanna wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof…

Slowly, reluctantly, he pulled away. A trail of kisses was what he sent down her cheek, her jaw, her neck, and finally did the trail end at her shoulder. His head slowly fell back to the confines of her hair, where he inhaled deeply.

While I’m safe there in your arms, so all I ask is for you…

The ghost of a purely happy smile graced her lips at his kisses. Her head slowly turned to relax back into her other hand, so comforted by his touch was she.

To come away with me in the night…

His hand slowly worked its way towards the sky. His fingers traveled lightly over her stomach, pausing to take a detour around her belly button. His hand then finally came to a rest on her other hip, gripping it so lightly, so gently.

Come away...

“I love you,” Severus murmured into her hair.
“I know,” Hermione whispered, her way of saying that she loved him too.

...with me.
I've decided a while back to take songs and write Harry Potter-based stories from them. This is the very first, since it kept running through my head. The song is Come Away With Me by Norah Jones, one of the most lovely songs I've ever heard. While I listened to it, I could just imagine Severus and Hermione resting in bed together, just enjoying one another's company...and this popped out.

It's done in a format I've never really tried before, what with the lyrics from the song puncturing the flow of paragraphs. At first I was going to write this only from Severus' view, but as soon as I did the second paragraph, I knew I had to add Hermione in it. I'm really, really happy about how this turned out. It's got to be one of the softest pieces I've ever done. Enjoy. =D


The next piece I shall be writing in the series is a Narcissa / Lucius story, which I'm pretty excited about trying. I've never written about those two, so it's quite a change for me.

I truly like this little story.... It's such a tender moment between Hermione and Severus and the song fitted so well...
