Sigh :( I was reading and I saw the time I have an hour to get this up before my deadline is over so I have to stop reading now and start writing. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS:) I am very happy that people are actually reading them! Before I start writing I have a question for you good little readers! How many of you do what I do (skip to the bottom of the chapter and read the last few lines then start it up and read to get to that point)? Anyone? Just curious!


"Severus!" Hermione screamed chasing after Severus who was striding up the stairs in a fast pace. He wouldn't turn and kept walking straight heading for an unknown destination.


Severus rounded the corner stopping on the stairs.

It had been exactly 2 hours since Hermione and him had been in the room together he wondered how often the stairs went up and down. Every one-hour? Every two hours? Who knew? He wanted to test his theory. Not to mention plot revenge against Black, he thought to himself.

The stairs lurched upwards and kept going. His theory had been proven correct now to get Black! He knew he should have waited for his friend….. his only friend… Hermione. But he wanted sometime to be alone to rant and rave in peace before the girl came to try and calm him down…. Or at least that's what he thought she would do. What he hoped she would do….


Severus rounded the corner Hermione following him about 10 feet back. She rounded the corner and didn't see him anywhere.

She heard something moving overhead and looked up. Sure enough the stairs were rising again to the little room, no doubt with Severus on them.

She sighed and sat down. She would just have to wait for them to come back down and then wait again for them to rise.

(brain dead………) (Brain wave!)

While Hermione sat on the platform waiting for the stairs to come back down she had a sudden thought. She had been meaning to find Professor McGonagall and confront her about her "financial" problems at home.

Lies lies and more lies! Hermione didn't want to lie to her mentor of seven years but she was not sure how Professor McGonagall would react if she walked in and said "Hello Professor I'm Hermione Granger I come from the future!" She would be sent straight to St. Mungos if she said that.

Her best bet was to get help with her finances and after a while of interacting with Professor McGonagall she might tell her, but only if she were sure that her mentor wouldn't want to interfere with the time line or think she was a raving loon….

Her first priority was helping Severus at the moment because of the way Sirius had treated him. If she didn't know what a wonderful person he would turn out to be she might just jinx him all the way to Tim Buck Two!


But sadly she had no idea when the stairs would be coming down maybe in an hour? Yes that seemed reasonable she would check back in an hour. Until then she set off to find Professor McGonagall.

Two floors and 10 classrooms later Hermione found McGonagall and confronted her.

"Professor?"

"Yes Miss… I believe you're the new student? Granger is it?"

"Yes, ma'am"

"Well Miss Ganger is there something I can help you with?"

"Well… You see Professor I am having some erm… financial difficulties with getting supplies and what not for classes. I was wondering if there might be some way you could help me?"

"Certainly Miss Granger I can help you!" the kind woman stated with a smile.

"Oh thank you Professor!" Hermione was missing her schoolbooks very much even if the library offered the same books it just wasn't the same.

"Hmm… Let me see come by my office tomorrow morning before breakfast and I will get you set."

"Yes, thank you" Hermione smiled at the older woman. She couldn't wait to get back to her Professor McGonagall in the future…. Err.. present? Her present their future or….


She gave up trying to figure it out as she headed back towards the stairs. It had only taken her 30 minutes 25 to find her Professor and 5 to talk with her. By the time she got back it would be around 48 minutes and time would most likely be up, after all she had to count the time she had spent waiting and wondering if she should go looking for McGonagall.

(Sorry about the time going so fast one hour in and only like a half a page but I want to get to the good part :) )

Hermione got to the stairs just in time. As she headed up and up she wondered what she would find waiting for her in the little room.


Severus Snape was an evil genius! He had thought up a plan and was working on it.

What was the one think Sirius Black was know for? His good looks and his appeal to the women of Hogwarts. Severus wondered briefly if everyone in Hogwarts needed glasses but dismissed the idea to get back to work on his potion.

No he wasn't going to change Sirius appearance or anything like that. No Severus wanted people to recognize him.

Severus wanted to scare Sirius for life. And the best was he could think of was putting a very very Strong love potion into his drink. The love potion wasn't just a typical love potion Severus had designed it special to last for a very long time and only on a particular group of girls, Slytherin girls.

Severus knew Sirius would never forgive himself if he had been snogging a Slytherin girl. And so Snape was creating the potion that would make all Sirius dreams come true, or rather nightmares.

The potion was specialized so that as soon as it was drunk it would take effect. Sirius would walk over to the Slytherin table and snog every girl there for 5 minutes then move on to the next. The girls got what they wanted and Sverus got what he wanted revenge.

The potion was complete. Severus bottled the potion and labeled it as "Revenge." True it was naasty, cruel, and evil but…like he said before he was an EVIL genius.

Just in case something happened to the potion Severus went to work creating another one of the same degree. You could never be to prepared he told himself as he was about to add the part which would only make it for Slytherin girls, as the door creaked open, a sign which meant two things. One the door hadn't been used in ages and two Hermione was here.


Severus scooped up the potion into a vial completely forgetting to add the last part. Setting the vial on the table he walked towards the couch.

"Severus I am sorry about what happened at dinner but its curfew you know we should leave here it is nine." Hermione said thinking about the last time she had been out at curfew with Severus Snape the last time she had been home….in the right year.

"One the stairs are gone most likely leaving us stuck for another hour and two who cares about the curfew when your happy plotting revenge."

Hermione giggled inwards about how different the boy who sat in front of her was from the man she knew him as. Had she been home she would have been in detention but here and now she was sitting on a couch with Severus Snape laughing inwardly.

"You know Severus you're an excellent dancer," she said laughing a little.

Severus gave her a small smile and went back over towards the potion station.

"Not to bad yourself.." he muttered.

"Severus what are you planning on doing to Sirius?"

"My plan is to scare him for……" Hermione interrupted Severus suddenly

"Your potion it's going to…." The last word was lost as glass shattered on the floor and pink and red smoke filled the room and the minds of Severus Snape and Hermione Granger.


Coughing violently Hermione shooed away the last bits of smoke using her hand as a fan.

Then suddenly she saw the boy….. no man across the room smiling at her with a pink blush to his cheeks.

(WARNING: if you have Laughaphobeia the next part is not for you)

Severus saw the beauty across the room she was breath taking and smiling at him. He blushed smiling back a girl smiling at him he was on cloud 9.

Hermione stared at him smiling

He stared back smiling

She took a step forwards causing him to blush

She saw him blushing and blushed

"Hermione you look like a tree standing in the sun your bushy hair like the dead leaves swinging from the branchs!"

She smiled at him and took another step forward.

"Severus darling you look like a great dark mountain in the grass your great nose like a lend protruding outwards!"

Another step forward

"Let me count the ways your mind can count my many flaws!"

They were together at last right in front of each other each staring into the others eyes.

Severus leaned down and Hermione leaned up and they kissed. Pulling away Hermione was caught with a fit of giggles and Severus with a violent cough.


Severus would later on never admit that the reason the potion had such a weak affect on them was because there was already a mutual attraction.


They stared at each other reciting poetry and mindless dribble to each other for 3 hours.

Then Severus talked.

"Hermione I love the way your eyes sparkle when your intent upon finding something out. Just like that day in the library"

"And I love the way you can look mad but really be laughingbehind your eyes. I noticed it when I first met you."

Severus again closed the distance between them only this time embracing her. She hugged him back leaning her head on his chest while he laid his head upon hers.

Both were unaware that the potion had worn off 3 minutes before.
