Without further ado, the next installment of Sweeter & Sweeter is released. This progresses the series a bit more. Enjoy!
I don't own Harry Potter!
The hospital was empty. Nearly everyone had been released. Except for Severus Snape. He had watched each day as Madam Pomfrey allowed another person to leave to hospital wing with a herd of family members to take care of him. Nobody had come to visit him in the four days he had been away after the two weeklong coma he had been in.
He wasn't surprised.
What did anger him was the looks of lingering pity in the eyes of those around them. Potter had told the Dark Lord all about Severus' pitiful obsession with Lily Evans and Hermione Granger after her. Everyone had known when the Quibbler had published the article with photos only a week and a half ago.
They whispered in front of him, "Hermione Granger? She's half his age. Such a pity. He's so crotchety that…"
On the fifth day, something he didn't expect to happen, did.
She appeared.
He had slept soundly, due to the potions he had taken only hours before. When he woke, golden brown hair was nuzzled into his side. Slowly he came to realize there was in fact an entire body huddled onto his bed. He also noticed that he had moved over to allow the body enough space to sleep. And the body had curled against him in a crushing but loving hold.
His first reaction was to lie his head back down. This had to have been a dream. If it was, it was a very good dream, and he did not want it to end in the least. However, an hour later when he rose again to find the frame of Hermione Granger still curled in his side he found himself extremely confused.
She awoke.
"Professor?" She whispered hoarsely before clearing her throat.
It was now or never.
Dumbledore had said that the sorting hat had sorted too early. He was right.
It was now or never.
"I love you," he blurted before he could stop the words from tumbling from his mouth.
Her big caramel eyes widened as She blinked at him.
He cursed his tongue. He shouldn't have said anything. Of course She did not love him back. And of course She already knew he loved her. The whole bloody wizarding world knew!
She smiled.
FUCK! She's going to laugh at me!
She leaned into him and before he could figure out what she was planning, she had pressed her lips against his in a kiss. She moved Her lips against his, trying to coax him into kissing Her back.
She pulled away a few seconds later and put Her delicate porcelain hand to his cheek to brush his hair behind his ear. She moved in closer, and before he knew it, She was sitting in his lap.
"Professor, I love you too."
