"Severus, leave," Hermione repeated, trying to convey how serious she was without words.
"Hermione, I'm not leaving."

"Now will you leave?" Hermione whispered nodding her head pointedly towards the doorway.
Hermione sighed with frustration when Severus actually smiled. "No," he repeated, as if he was merely taking on a challenge not signing his own death warrant.
