"This has to be a sick twist of fate" Hermione thought to herself "SOMEONE REALLY HAS IT IN FOR ME!" She screamed in her head as she paces her class room instead of preparing herself for the upcoming classes tomorrow.
Suddenly there was a knock on her class door. "I thought I might find you here" Said a beautiful voice. "OH MY GOSH!" She screamed in her head "C…cccome o…on i…i…in. Hermione stuttered. He chuckled and smiled a genuine smile at her. She smiled softly. No matter how hard either tried, they to fight their feelings they just couldn't. "So Severus did you need something In particular?" Hermione asked sheepishly "Well…" he said quietly blushing "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry if the casting upset you. And I'd be fine with asking Albus to change it." "Oh" "If you don't mind my asking, did it bother you? She replied "Um well I don't really know the musical…so no I guess not. He replied. Hermione looked a little happier and that just made Severus smile. "Oh wow" Hermione thought. His smile made Hermione want to melt. She walks over toward him smiling, but tripped and fell… right into the arms of Severus Snape. "Are you ok?" he asked concerned "I… um… I'm fine." She said blushing but he didn't look convinced nor did he let go. "Hermione? Why did you look so upset today?"
She hesitated, "I'm sorry I'm prying." Severus said sadly. "No its fine, I just thought you might be upset… you know because Sandy and Danny are a couple." "Oh so you were upset… for fear of me being upset?" He asked raising an eyebrow causing Hermione to blush again. "Kinda." She said sheepishly realizing Severus still had not let go of her.
"So I take it we don't want to change the way of the play?" Severus asked. "I'm fine with it if you are. But we will have to kiss in this musical." She replied
"Ok"
It was a simple answer so to prove his point he slowly lowered his face to hers obviously giving her plenty of time to pull away but instead she leaned in and brushed her lips against his softly but lovingly.
She now did pull away from him… he expected to be smacked… hard. But he didn't feel any pain, no just a hand softly stroking his cheek and a tender simile on his Hermione "My Hermione? Where did that come from?" he asked himself.
He smiled as well and pulled her to him and into a loving embrace. "MY Hermione… MY Sandy"
