Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Only J.K. Rowling does (because she is awesome).

Author's Note: I wrote this story along with my good friend GlaudioseGodesss =)


The Kiss

The air was turning crisp with the autumn's return to the year. The corridor was empty, with no

students idly wondering. That is, apart from one Gryffindor fifth year, walking swiftly with a book in hand.

Her nose pushed into it's pages, soaking in the words greedily. She didn't hear or see anything, as she was

intently reading the book. Yet on the other side of the corridor steps were being made by the very man most

shuddered away from. Severus Snape neither noticed that he was about to walk into the young girl, nor did

he seem to comprehend where his feet were leading him at all. His thoughts were clouded by his worries.

The collision was painless; the shock was huge. Hermione didn't feel anything but a warmth that

flooded her heart. All warmth was emanating from one single place, where both lips of Severus Snape and

Hermione Granger touched. Hermione didn't move, she stayed where she was, the same could not be said

for one Severus Snape. He pulled away from her, only letting their eyes connect for a second, before

jumping to his feet. Without offering her a hand to get up, Severus Snape walked away; his stride seemed

rushed. He left Hermione sitting on the floor, lightly tracing her lips. Confusion did not nearly come close

enough to how she felt.
