Chapter One:
"Miss Granger, will you please stop falling asleep at my worktable?"
Severus Snape put on his snarkiest voice, as he had no intention whatsoever of revealing to Hermione how affected he was by the sight of her, drowsy and beautiful, in his personal lab.
"Severus, really." Hermione was not quite asleep, simply resting her head on her hand and yawning occasionally. "When will you stop calling me "Miss Granger" as if I am still a student, and start calling me Hermione like the rest of the staff?"
Since becoming Snape's assistant at the beginning of the school year, Hermione had gotten used to calling her old professors by their first names, and they her, but not Snape. No, he insisted on calling her Miss Granger, and never, ever calling her by her first name. Never.
"Never. Now please, if you find my talking about the proper way of chopping the moonflower so boring, by all means fall asleep right here." Still in snarky mode, Severus concentrated on the flower, not on how fetching Hermione looked when she was annoyed and sleepy.
"Fine. I'll head off to bed then shall I, Professor Snape?" Hermione imitated his moody tones, and was rewarded with a scowl from him.
"Yes Miss Granger, that would be wise, especially seeing as being tired seems to make you act even more like a petulant child than normal."
"Petulant, oh really? WELL, would a petulant child storm out and slam the door?"
She did just this; aware that she was indeed acting like a child, but uncaring when she heard an answering chuckle from Snape from the other side of the recently slammed door.
Hi kids, i would really appreciate some feedback, if only a few words. I'm new to showing people any of my writing, and i'd love to hear what you think, or listen to any advice you may have...
