This is a little thing i whipped up while trying to watch a movie with my brothers. I was SO bord. But back on subject, i hope you enjoy, read and review and all that stuff.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling has that honor. If i did i would own Severus and that would ROCK OUT LOUD!!!
Hermione dashed up the steps of Hogwarts, eager to begin her 7th year at her favorite school in the world. Next to her was her best friends Harry and Ron. They were flanked by their girlfriends of course making it hard for her to possably be happy when they were walking around with them, making her feel worse by the second about her boyfriendless possision.
"Hey Hermione were are you going?" Harry asked while Ginny snuggled against his chest lazily. Hermione almost gagged.
"For a walk Harry. You know where the Common Room is without me." Harry looked taken aback.
"Miss Granger!!" came a loud yell and she watched her Potions Master step up to her. "Miss Granger Headmistress MaGonagal would like to see you." Hermione looked surprised for a moment.
"Yes sir, lead the way." Snape lead the way and she fallowed quietly behind him. Once they reached the office she saw her favorite teacher and head of house. "Headmistress MaGonagal how nice to see you!" Hermione smiled at her.
"Yes hello Miss Granger. I was wondering, you have a band of sorts and we were hoping that you would do us the honor of singing a song for the come backs and the 1st years." She watched Hermione's face as it became shocked.
"I guess I could. I mean they have been wanting to do a gig for awhile now. Sure." Minerva clapped her hands in exitment.
"Very good. Now Severus could you please acompany Miss Granger to her Common Room." She asked and Hermione cut in.
"Um actually Headmistress. I was going to go for a walk then meet up with the others." Minerva nodded.
"Alright then...Severus i must insist that you go with her."
Snape looked displeased for a moment and nodded. "Very well Minvera. After you Miss Granger." he motioned for her to go threw the door to leave.
"Yes sir." she stood and left the room and waited for Snape at the bottom of the stairs.
Snape finally came down and nodiced the distracted look on Hermione's face. "Shall we go Miss Granger or can i call you Hermione?" he asked and Hermione smiled politly at him.
"Hermione is fine sir, and yes we can go now." she moved to the courtyard and out onto the lawn leading to the Quitage stands.
"Is everything alright Hermione? You seem a little down?" he looked at her with curiousty in his dark eyes. She looked surprised that he would even care and sighed.
"It's just hard sir. Harry and Ron have girlfriends and I'm just known as that girl that helped Harry Potter defeat Lord Voldemort." she gave a disheartend sigh.
"Hermione I don't know why you weren't granted most of the credit for the defeat of Dark Lord. It's my understanding that you came up with plan to kill him in the first place." he gave her an interested look as they climbed the steps of the stands.
"Yes I did, but that doesn't matter at all to them. Hell they wouldn't have passed half of their classes without me!" she snarled with tears in her eyes. "When they want their homework done and that's it." she whipped the tears away from her face angrly.
Snape gave her a sympathetic look and said "I know. Will you be alright Hermione?" he asked her, the look in his eye concerned.
"Well it would be nice to talk to someone who's smarter than most of them are. I'm so sick of talking about something and them giving me a blank look." she shook her head and ran up the steps as fast as she could.
He chuckled and fallowed her to the top.
"Really? Look I know that i haven't been very pleasent to you in all the years that you've come to this school Hermione but if you ever need to get away from those brain melters you call friends that you've been hanging out with these last years, I am here for you." he gave her a small hopeful smile.
She smiled at the idea of having someone smart to talk to. "I'd like that very much sir." she though for a moment. "Do you think I could call you Severus now?" she gave him a sheepish grin. And he smiled at her.
"Of course Hermione. I was wondering if you would like to help me with a few potions this year? Your the best student in my potions class and there is no one else I could think of that I would like to help me. It would get you away from those two dumbasses." she lauphed the brightness of her usual self returning to her eyes. And he was never so happy to see it in his life. A depressed Hermione wasn't the Hermione he was used to.
"I'd like that very much Severus." she smiled at him and he felt happy that he could do something to make her happy.
"So... Hermione what would you like to do now. We still have at least an hour until we need to go to the Great Hall." she smiled thoughtfully.
"I guess we could go meet up with the band practice with them for awhile. If you want to that is."
Severus smiled back at her, the look so good on his face and a little werid consitering she had only seen him glare at her for six years. "I would be honored to join you for a little while before i must report back to Minerva." Hermione stood up.
"Well what are we waiting around here for?" Severus chuckled and stood up as well. She grinned at him and ran down the steps. "Can't catch me Severus!" she called to the Potions Master and he let out a loud lauph.
"You want a bet Hermione?" and he took off after the young Gryffandor.
She giggled and ran faster. Severus fallowed behind her, quickly gaining on her. She squeaked when he caught her and they tumbled to the ground, lauphing the whole way.
He smirked down at her. "See told you i could catch you." she glared playfully and stuck out her tongue. He lauphed again and Hermione pushed him off of her sho she could sit up. She smiled at him and shook her head.
"Damn i didn't think you could run so fast." he smirked.
"Well i obviously proved you wrong." she nodded.
"Yes you did, but it took you awhile." he rolled his eyes at her and stood. He extended a hand to her and helped her to her feet. She smiled at him and moved some of his raven hair from his face. She was ultimatly surprised when she learned that his hair wasn't greasy at all, it was shinny and soft, slipping easily between her fingers. Severus smirked at her and returned the favor by placing a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Hermione i don't know why you don't have any kind respect. You are worth so much and can do so much more then those dorks. I hate that i've been so cruel to you these past years. Is there anyway i can make it up to you?" he asked
Her eyes went soft on him and she smiled. "If you let me be your apprentice sure. I have always wanted to help you with potions." he grinned at the idea.
"I would love that Hermione i'll talk to Minerva and we'll see." she smiled and they headed up to the school, both thinking of how wonderful the year had started.
