Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I know that you know this by now. I own nothing, J.K.Rowling owns everything. I own the plot ONLY!
A/N: I am so sorry that this took so long to update. I have been editing all of the chapters and am currently doing like 4 other WIPs. I also did a few One-shots in between. I'm sorry. It's not like that many people reviewed but for those who did, I apologize.

Later that night Hermione decided she needed to talk to Severus. She was about to leave the common room when she was confronted by Ron.
"What are you up to?" Ron asked.
"Nothing," Hermione spat. "Why are you always so suspicious of me? What did I do to have you be so mad at me?"
"I'm not mad!" said Ron, getting redder by the minute. "You're always gone and I want my best fiend back!"
"I'm still your best friend!" said Hermione, who was now shouting with Ron. "Just because I want to take responsibility and study for..."
"Don't give me that bull shit! I know you haven't been studying! You've been sneaking around...with someone...with someone you shouldn't be sneaking around with!" said Ron, shaking with fury.
"That is rubbish! You have no fucking idea what you are saying!" said Hermione, getting angry for the sudden attack.
"I'm sorry damnit! I'm sorry. It's just...I don't want to lose you as a friend. We never spend time together anymore," Ron said, going slightly pale and flustered. "I miss you. Harry misses you. Everyone misses you and you're never here. We're scared."
"I can handle my life, Ron," she said, though not so angry. "I'm still your friend. I'll always be...but I have to go."
"Can't you at least tell me where?" Ron asked.
"You wouldn't understand," she said, tears forming on her cheeks. "I love you and Harry and I want you two to be my friend. I have to go..." she said and then left the common room, leaving Ron just standing there watching her.

Hermione ran outside and sat down against the wall to cry. She didn't want to see anyone anymore. She loved Severus, but she loved Harry and Ron too.
"Oh God," she said out loud. "What am I going to do?" She eventually cried herself to sleep, only to be found a few hours later by Severus.
"Hermione...?" he asked gently. When she didn't respond, he carried her to his room and laid her down in his bed. She woke up an hour later.
"Where am I?" she asked. "Severus...Ron...Harry?"
"It's me, Hermione. I found you outside. I want you to take this potion and get some sleep," said Severus.
"No. I need to talk to you...I think we need to...we need to...oh, I can't do it, damnit!" said Hermione, bursting into tears again.
"Shush, calm down and sleep."
"NO! Can't you hear me? Ron knows something is going on," she started and Severus visibly paled. "He has an idea at least. I don't want either of us to get in trouble."
"Hermione Jane Granger, listen to me. I love you more than I have ever loved someone and I'll be damned if we have to end it," said Severus.
"I love you too Severus," said Hermione before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
