Hermione's POV
There I was staring at him again, I prayed he wouldn't notice me. I couldn't help it though, it was so hard to not think about him. Almost everything I did, I pictured him with me. I don't know why I want him but I do and that is all I know. It's so hard to not get lost in his eyes when I look at him, they take me to a whole other world. Even though I love him, he would never love me, he barley knows I exist. Every time I try to say anything, he ignores me as though I'm a bump on a log. Everyone would think it strange that I love him but I cannot help what my heart wants, but nobody could ever know.
"Miss Granger?" I looked up to see those cold yet beautiful eyes staring into mine.
"Yes sir?" I answered slowly and quietly. Slowly Professor Snape approached my desk until i had to strain my kneck to see his face.
Bending down he said, "I have asked you a question and you ignored me. Why?"
"Sir-I-I'm sorry but-I didn't hear you." I saw him smirk at the fear in my voice.
"It seems that you were sleeping during my class." His lips curled as he spoke.
"NO! No sir I would never."
"See me after class," Snape stood up and walked back to the board to continue his lesson.
"Miss Granger you have been very unlike yourself the last month. Is something bothering you?"
"Well sir," I was trying to think of an excuse quickly, "The OWLs are coming up next week and I guess I have just been staying up studying to much lately."
"I understand completely, Miss Granger. You can go." I turned to leave when he spoke again, "Oh, Miss Granger don't stress yourself too much, I would hate to have to give you a detention for daydreaming in class." I walked out of the room smiling.
"So what did Snape say Hermione?"
I couldn't concentrate, I was too busy thinking about Snape, again, "Huh-oh sorry Harry, I was in space."
"It's O.K. I asked you what Snape had to say."
"Oh, not much he asked me why I haven't been paying attention lately and told me he'd hate to give me a detention but if he caught me daydreaming again he would."
"Wow, you got off lucky. If it would of been Ron or I we would of been in huge trouble."
What Harry said got me thinking about why Snape didn't give me a detention. If it would have been anyone else they would have been screwed for sure. I mean he gave Ron a months detention for accidentally throwing up in his class. After all of these years could Snape actually like me?
