DISCLAIMER- I own nothing, not even Snape

Chapter 1

Hermione had been playing about with her time-turner absent-mindedly while studying, not really realising what she was doing. Then suddenly, the whole world was spinning. She landed in a patch of grass in a place that certainly wasn't Hogwarts.

"Oh Merlin! How many turns did I go back! And why did it change where I was, it never does that!" Hermione said.

She saw a newspaper stand and ran over to grab a paper. The date on it read 17th July, 1983.

"Oh, shit!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Excuse me; I do not think that a woman such as yourself should be so angry at a muggle newspaper" a familiar voice said.

Hermione turned, and her suspicions were confirmed, it was Snape.

"Snape!" she said, happy that she wasn't completely alone.

Wait a minute; Snape had called her a… woman? Strange.

"And might I ask how you know my name?" Snape enquired.

Hermione realised she couldn't explain anything; it would meddle too much with time. She settled with the excuse, "I… recognise you from when I was at Hogwarts. You were a few years above me."

"Well in that case, please call me Severus, we are equals. Well, not if you were in Gryffindor." Severus said.

Hermione thought that she would be better off to stay on his good side, but she refused to be a Slytherin, so she said, "Oh no, I'm a Ravenclaw girl. I guess you're a Slytherin? Wait, how did you know I was a witch before I said where I knew you from?" she asked.

"Your wand is poking out of your back pocket, and yes, I was in Slytherin" said Snape.

"You are observant. Interesting how you noticed my BACK pocket." She winked at him.

Oh God! She was flirting with professor Snape! That time turner must have done something to her head. Though he did look handsome…

Snape was blushing furiously, and said "I… well, I apologise".

Hermione was in shock. He really was checking her out! This had to be some weird parallel universe. Snape does not check people out, ever. Not her, anyway.

She quite liked the idea of him looking at her though, oddly. She reached out and touched his arm and said, "Don't apologise, I was only messing around".

"Would you like to get something to drink, like a coffee? You look tired if you don't mind me saying" Snape said.

"I would love to" said Hermione in response. She really was exhausted.
