Short and sweet, slightly OOC but who cares, right?
'Severus?'
Hermione was stood in the doorway of her beloved's study, unsuccessfully trying to get his attention.
'Severus?'
Still nothing. Time to take action! Striding over to where he was sat at his desk she perched her bottom onto the parchment on which he was marking. Leaning back in his chair he sighed heavily. 'Hermione, I really need to finish these assignments - what is it?' She was swinging her legs and with a miscievious glint in her eye said, 'I have something to ask you.'
'Well then I assume it's a matter of importance?'
She slid of the desk and straddled his lap, sliding her arms around his neck. 'You could say that. Do you know what the date is today?'
Distracted by her lovely body pressing against him he answered, 'Yes February the 29th, why?'
'And do you know what that means?'
He gave her a confused look.
'Well it means I get to ask you this...will you marry me? She had to suppress the urge to giggle when his mouth fell slightly open, fearing it might ruin the moment. But then that fear crept in properly at his lack of response. Her face fell.
'I'm s...sorry, I just thought...' as she made to stand up he pushed her back down by placing his hands on her hips. The next thing she knew his mouth was on hers. Slightly confused it took her a few moments to respond. When he ended the kiss she saw the gleam in his eyes.
Taking a deep breath she said, 'Is that a yes?'
'Completely. I've wanted to ask you that for a long while myself.'
'Then why didn't you.' She knew the answer when he lowered his eyes. 'You thought I'd say no?'
'Not just that...you're more than I deserve.'
She cradled his face between her hands. 'If I thought that, I wouldn't be here.'
Thanks to everyone who's reviewed my stories so far, they've all been really positive and I love you for it! I try and churn out one short story a week. This one wasn't due for a few days but who gives a stuff.
