A/N: This is written for The "365 Days of Drabbles" Challenge. This is a challenge to write a drabble or one-shot a day for 365 days. Each day will have a prompt that is to be used that day. Most of these will revolve around Sevmione. If you don't like the pairing, don't read. They won't be in any particular order. The prompt for day 7: Breakfast.
Breakfast
Hermione walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. She glanced up at the staff table as per usual. Hagrid waved and Professor McGonagall nodded. Professor Snape glared straight ahead.
Hermione returned the greetings of Hagrid and the Headmistress before sitting at the Gryffindor table and serving herself breakfast. Ginny sat down across from her and started talking about some of the latest gossip she had heard. Hermione tuned her out and chanced another glance at the staff table. Snape was looking down at the Gryffindor table. He nodded almost imperceptibly, but Hermione caught it. She hid her smile behind her glass of pumpkin juice.
"Are you even listening to me?" Ginny's voice pulled Hermione back to what was going on in front of her.
"Sorry, Gin," said Hermione. "I was thinking about my schedule for the day."
Ginny sighed, but easily accepted the excuse. She continued prattling on and Hermione did a better job of pretending to listen.
Hermione went about her day as normal. That evening she went down to Professor Snape's office as per usual. She had started going down to help him as a teacher's assistant. Soon they had started to become friends and later they had become lovers. Hermione was an adult and if anyone found out about them, well, they had a contingency plan.
"Good morning, Hermione." Snape woke her gently from her slumber. He always woke her before the rest of the castle so she could sneak back to Gryffindor tower.
"Mmm. Good morning, Severus."
"It is about time for you to be getting back to your own bed, love."
"But I'm so warm here." She burrowed under the blankets.
He pulled the blankets unceremoniously off of her. She groaned. "Fine. I'll go back to my own room. Just know I'm not happy about it."
Snape watched her dress and walked her to the door to his chambers. He leaned down and gave her a lingering kiss.
She grabbed the lapels of his bathrobe. "I'll see you at breakfast?"
"Of course, Hermione. Always."
With one last kiss she cast a Disillusionment charm on herself and went back to Gryffindor tower to await the dawn and breakfast.
