Hermione Granger was sitting in the drawing room of Grimmauld Place pondering the question of love. She was seeing Severus Snape on the sly for months now but she was not sure if she loved him. When he joined her she asked him "Do you love me?" "Yes" he answered without hesitation" "How did you know that you loved me?" the witch replied " I knew I loved you when I realized that I could not live without you" replied the wizard. Hermione pondered this and realized she loved him as well for she too could not live without him.
