A/N: In this story Hermione is 17 years old, finishing her last year in Hogwarts and so are Harry and Ron. The generell Rating of the story goes for some graphic language and mentioning of violence later, this part however is completely innocent. Enjoy!


Ronald Weasly made the mistake of peeking at his best friend Harry Potter one to many times and couldn't surpress something like a snicker. He was trying to pay attention which was always a good idea in Snape`s potion class if you didn`t fancy spending the evening down here again due to some detention and that was for sure not the case with him. Probably for nobody.

He looked around and his eyes rested on his friend Hermoine Granger. Well maybe she. Usually she was busy taking notes as Snape drooned on about the potion of the week but right now she sat in her chair next to a slowly panicing Neville Longbottom, her half raised quill spilling dark color on her parchment and seemed to be lost in thoughts. No dreams. Her eyes seemed to follow the tall and dark clad form of Snape through the room and a dreamy smile lit her features.

Shuddering the red haired boy turned his head again to Harry. It looked like she was sorrowly enjoying herself but not really because of the gained knowledge these two hours meant but because she actually enjoyed seeing Snape.

How sick is that?

 Snape was mean, always trying to deduct points from Gryffindor and his hair was greasy. What could Hermione possibly see in this old git?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

`Why had she never noticed?` was all the while rambling through Hermione`s head. Noticed how handsome her potion teacher was. How much the black hair and wardrobe complimented his pale skin and how tall he actually was. How much his dark eyes seemed to invite you to sink deeper and deeper.......

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

„Miss Granger!" He tried to give his voice a most intimidating sneer to get the obviously deep in thoughts girl to notice him

Startled brown eyes and a quick blush was an indication that he had been successful. Merlin, the girl was most infuriating at times. And what was she looking at? She couldn't be possibly looking at him with these dreamy far away expression?

„Mis Granger, while I understand that maybe the subtle art of potion making maybe down right boring for some dunderheads I would appreciate if you at least appeared like you pay attention. Having to ask you a simple question more than three times is a clear indication that you are not." His breath was warming her left ear as he hissed. „Twenty points from Gryffindor for not paying attention."

As he turned away from her table he almost thought he saw her shudder and then it appeared again- the dreamy smile directly into his direction.This know-it-all can`t be looking at me. She wouldn`t, surely. Would she?

Another quick glance told him she was. What was he to do about this girl? Should he talk with her? Confront her with the suspicion that the she had a crush on him. She was only 17 so and so far; not many girls had fallen for him- at least no students. Try as he might he wanted to make it as easy for her as possible. Why was that? She was a Gryffindor. Why did he, Head of Slytherin, care?
