A/N: Sorry guys this is a little later than I planned but I have had an incredibly busy week and I am currently surviving on 4 hours sleep a night. Put I really wanted to post this chapter so I hope you enjoy it.
The pause lasted for a minute a Severus' brain was caught between the truth and a lie.
"Yes," he said finally "yes I love you". He pulled away from her and went to turn away.
"Severus please," she ran around the coffee table to be beside him. She looked upwards and brown eyes met back. "I love you too". His attitude changed in a second he grabbed the sides of her face forcing her to look upwards at him.
"You can't no one loves me. No one I am alone in this world". He growled the word before turning around. "People do not love men like me they run away they fear me and they hate me no one loves me. "
"Don't you dare turn your back on me Severus Snape you try to tell me what I feel you have no ideas. How much I love you how much it hurts to see you hurting and aloof how much it hurts to see you-"
"From a distance," he finished much calmer.
"Yes," she said.
"Well you don't have to know anymore," he smiled. "If for some unknown reason you want me I am here Hermione Granger utterly yours and devoted to you however I will continue to do it from a distance."
"Why?"
"Because you have had to much alcohol if you think you want me in your life". She threw her arms around his neck.
"I want you ,"she whispered. "I want you in my life to talk, to laugh and to love. Don't you deprive me of that because you have a martyr complex."
"I do not have a complex Hermione but no woman has ever chosen me never glanced at me."
"Have you considered I am different?" She asked angrily.
"Yes," he smiled slightly "I have always known you were different."
"Then trust me," she smiled "please."
"Trusting doesn't come easy to an old spy."
"Less of the old," she smiled. He smiled too it was weaker than hers but it was a smile. Hermione leant forward and kissed him on the lips full and hard with desperate passion. They tingled with anticipation and desire. Both pulling away gasping for air.
Hermione pulled her old professor's robes forward as she yanked him into the bedroom.
"Miss. Granger you don't have to sleep with me it doesn't prove anything."
"I am not doing it because I want to prove something have you considered that I might desire you, lust for you hope I would get pleasure from this."
"No," he said frankly "but I don't need to be your first."
"Then it might please you to know your not as green as you think I am."
"Yes the Wesley boy of course."
"And others if you think you are getting someone else's seconds professor then please say so."
"I prefer experience Hermione you know what to do and in my opinion care more for your own pleasure than your partners. There is nothing as hot as a pleasured woman."
"That may be the sexiest thing I have ever heard you say." She whispered in his ear.
"That is the sexiest thing I have ever said". He smiled placing her on the bed. She pulled him down beside her and they began to kiss feverishly.
Ginny Potter looked at the map projected on her wall.
"I believe you and Ron owe me 10 galleons each". She said to her husband who was stood beside her.
"There is no way they've begun and consummated a relationship in less than a day," Harry said.
"The magic says otherwise," Ginny smiled "I told you she liked him and Draco said he liked her we just needed to lock them together."
"But less than 12 hours obviously Hermione moves faster than I thought. You know what horrid mental image I don't care anymore just take the money if I never have to think if my best friend and my old teacher having sex. "
Ginny smiled at her husband. "I can obliviate you."
He returned the smile "its ok Gin just promise me no more matchmaking".
She smiled "I won't".
Harry raised an eyebrow "promise Gin."
"I can't I may have set up your best friend slash my brother up. Harry took his head in his hands just please do not say with who. I don't need to know."
"That I can promise." she smiled.
