"Hello, Patty," Snape sneers.
Hermione shakes her head, rolling her eyes. "No, this is Patrick."
Snape crosses his arms, ignoring the Irishman who had a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
Hermione turns back to Patrick. "I'm really sorry. I'll talk to you later."
Patrick nods and leaves, seeming really scared of the tall, dark, scowling man.
"So, you finally chose someone. I have to say, he's not much better than Weasley."
Hermione does her best not to laugh. "First of all, Patrick is a co-worker. That's all he is. Even if I was interested in him, I don't think he'd ever return the interest. He's in a very committed relationship with a nice man. Second of all, I have chose someone as a matter-of-fact, someone who I love deeply. Third of all, are you jealous? You really have no reason to be."
"Why's that?"
Hermione steps closer so her chest rubs against his crossed arm, and he takes a shuddering breath. "Because I choose you. I had a crush on you when I was in school. That's why I never gave into Ron's advances. If you'll have me, maybe we can make it work."
Severus drops his arms. "I'm not a nice man," he warns.
"I know," Hermione reassures him. "I still love you, though."
A hand caresses Hermione's cheek, and she tilts her head, leaning into the gentle touch. "You really want me?" he asks wonderingly.
"Kiss me and you'll find out how much I want you."
Severus leans down and claims her lips.
Hermione whimpers as his lips move over hers, arousal shooting through her as his arms wrap around her, pulling her impossibly close to his hard body.
"Severus," she whispers as he breaks the kiss they can breathe.
"Hermione, I love you."
Hermione smiles brightly, her hands clutching his shoulders. "I love you, too."
His lips claim hers again and everything falls away as they lose themselves in each other. That is, until a very angry, "What in the bloody hell is going on?" breaks through the fog.
