In case you need to be told…. I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters… all J.K. Rowling's, and unlike Ms. Rowling I'm not being paid for my brilliance

JUST A SMALL FAVOR

The man in the corner booth choked on his drink as the brunette made her way to the bar. 'No, that couldn't be her. She can't be here' he thought as his glance left the woman's face. 'And bloody hell! She can't be dressed like that!'

Severus Snape gave the woman another once over….. Tamed yet still wavy chocolate locks 'must be a new addition', honey eyes full of intelligence and determination. He gasped as he took in her attire-- a glittery backless top and tight leather pants topped off with stilletos.

'What in the world happened to Hermione Granger?'

Evidently Snape wasn't the only one who noticed-- several men were gawking and one was bold enough to join the brunette at the bar. Snape's eyes narrowed as the man leaned in and placed a hand at the small of Hermione's back before whispering in her ear. He watched her smile and turn to follow the man to a booth not too far from the one Severus sat in.

Not wanting to let her out of his sight, Snape moved to another table closer to the couple. The sight only confused him more. Hermione and the man were in a passionate embrace until she threw him off of her. Snape watched as the man pushed himself back onto Hermione and slipped his hand under her shirt.

'What the hell? Why isn't she fighting him?' he thought as Hermione made no attempt to get away. Before he knew what was happening she locked eyes with him and he bolted to her. Her eyebrow shot up as he reached to remove the man from his exploration of Hermione.

"Hey what's the big deal?" the man asked as Severus threw him out of the booth.

"Back. Off. Now!"

Sensing defeat the man rejoined the crowd. Snape turned back to Hermione who merely smirked at him.

"We need to talk".

"Why? Jealous old man?"
