Snoring Beauty

Summary—What would you do if you fell in love with someone? What about if they didn't love you back? What if it got even worse from there on? In this parody of Sleeping Beauty, Severus has secret feelings for our favorite bushy-haired bookworm. What will happen when she discovers his feelings, and, in the process, unearths his heart? Please R&R! THANKS!

Chapter one: Prologue. Severus Snape was a man in his late thirties.

He had black hair that most people considered greasy, and I suppose it was.

He cared nothing about his appearance, and spent most of his days terrorizing the students he taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was around six feet, give or take an inch or two.

He had eyes as black as the robes he was so fond of wearing.

He enjoyed potion making, reading, and taking long walks alone -Mind that I said 'alone'- He never had any friends that he could honestly say he had ever really wanted to be around.

They were all the same old drawling gossiping professors who only cared about their own pathetic social lives.

He hated Hygiene and considered the word as bad as any his students could possibly say, if not worse.

He was a wealthy man, if you considered the worldly things in his life.

He, in fact, had more money than the well-known Malfoy family, but he kept that small fact hidden; as well as with anything about himself that was anywhere near pleasant.

He loved his solitude greatly.

He wanted no one.

He needed no one.

Or so he thought.

At least he had thought so until SHE came to the school.

Yes, everything was fine and dandy until then.

Until then, he had been perfectly content to sit alone and read during what little spare time he had in-between classes, lesson plans, grading, eating, sleeping, socializing, (unwillingly, but all the same) taking off house points, giving out detentions, fulfilling detentions, and taking seconds to breathe in-between it all.

But then Hermione Granger arrived at Hogwarts.

She was sorted into Gryffindor without a second glance from Severus.

What did he care?

Nothing.

But as the years passed by, and Hermione Granger grew from a silly little girl into a brilliant young woman, he learned that he in fact, DID care.

A LOT.
