Hermione lay awake on her bed in the Head Girl dorm. She couldnt take it any more...she had to see him, to feel his touch on her again... But he didnt want her... he couldnt want her.
Hermione re-played the evenings event in her head.
----------
"But why?!?!? You said that you loved me!!!! You said that you'de never leave me!!!"
Hermione sobbed at the former Hogwarts potion master.
"Hermione, under stand this: I cant be with you. Im too old, and your too innocent. I have a bad past... and I dont want to get you involved..."
"Severus , dont you understand I dont care!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!"
The potion master put a look of sorrow in his face. He looked as if he was deciding to say something.
"But Hermione I-I- dont love you..."
Hermione looked at him in shock.
"Thats not true... that Cant be true..."
She was in denial.
Severus looked at the young witch. He couldnt do it anymore, he couldnt hurt her.
"Its...over Hermione."
With that he walked out of the Head Girl common room.
----------
Hermione had crawled into bed and had not gotten up sense then.
The pain that she was feeling was dreadful. She missed his warm body by her side. She missed the way that he would say "I love you"
Hermione began to cry into her pillow.
She would never hear him say those words again.
-----------
Severus was sitting behind his desk, thinking about her.
He always thought about her. About how perfect she was, about the way that he had finally found someone that loved him.
But it was too good to be true.
Just as soon as he thought that they would be together for the rest of their lives he had to end it because of Luius Malfoy.
Because of stupid Lucius Malfoy and his stupid threats.
"Im going to kill her you know." Lucius said to him.
"Im gonna kill her innocence and teach her what a true man is." He gave Severus that evil and sick smirk of his.
"What are you talking about Lucius?" He had asked.
"You know perfectly well Severus. Im talking about that mud-blood Granger."
Severus couldnt stand that. He had to protect her. And if protecting her meant having to break her heart he was going to have to do it.
But now that plan was back fireing. Because he had not only broken her heart but he had aslo broken his own heart.
But she wouldnt take him back now. Not after all the things that he had told her that evening.
He had told her that he didnt love her... But that was a lie.
He loved her more than he loved his and the the whole wizarding worlds live.
He couldnt take it any more. If he was away from her one more minute he would go crazy.
Severus stood up from his desk and made his way to her room.
------------
Back in her rooms hermione had finally gotten up from bed.
She was going to shower and do the only thing that made her feel better...study.
Just as she was about to open the bathroom door there was a soft knock on her door.
'Who could it be' the Head Girl thought.
She walked towards the door.
"Who is it." She commanded
"Hermione, its me..."
She recognized that voice anywhere, it wa Severus.
She automaticlly opned the door.
He was standing there...he was really standing there.
As though accostumed Hermione launched forward and kissed Severus.
He did not protest but issed back.
After several long moments of kissing, Severus picked Hermione up and took her toward her bed; shuting the door behind him.
He gently lay her on the bed looking deep into her honey eyes.
"I love you Hermione" he said softly, barley a whisper.
"I love you too Severus."
And that night Hermione and Severus made love like they'de never made love before.
