Chapter 14
Finding and Loosing
Hermione walked through the Gryffindor common room when Ron and Harry cornered her. Before this she had had plans on meeting Severus at his office, he had no idea on what his young little girl friend was planning I can assure you. However as was mentioned earlier Harry and Ron put a bit of a damper on Hermione's plans.
Ron grabbed her shoulder and pushed her up against the wall while Harry pointed his wand into her ribs.
"Harry James Potter, you remove that wand from my rib cage this instant or if you had any plans on reproducing they will be out of reach. If you catch my drift. And Ronald Weasley you take your grimy callused hand off of my shoulder this instant or you will share in Harry's painful fate," Hermione hissed in a rather Snape like manner. 'If he were here right now he'd be laughing. Merlin how I love that laugh,' Hermione thought to herself.
"I will not move my hand, Hermione, until you tell us what exactly has been going on between you and that greasy-bat!" Ron was clearly serious about this and there was no way in hell that either of them were moving until they got exactly what they were looking for… exactly.
"Ronald, honestly your tactics are a bit juvenile don't you think. If you wished to know what exactly is going on between Severus and I you just should have asked. I would have told you."
Harry and Ron gave Hermione looks of utter bewilderment as they loosened their grips on either Hermione or their wand in Ron's case both.
"You… you would have?" Ron asked.
"Of course she wouldn't! Ron if there was anything going on between them Hermione would have the brains enough to not tell us anything. For Merlin's sake, she's been through a war she knows when to tell what to tell and when not to tell what should not be known."
"Severus and I are seeing each other," Hermione stated in a rather matter-o-fact manner. This caused the boys to completely let go of Hermione and take a step backwards. "Yes, that's right. Your bat of the dungeons is my Romeo or rather I should say my Phantom. And now if you will excuse me I was only just about to go and see him so that we could snog each other senseless."
The boys couldn't move they only stood where they were stock still as Hermione walked away and out of the portrait hole. She had only one person on her mind… Severus the man she planned on staying with for the rest of eternity, for she was sure that he was the one she was destined to be with until the day she died.
He was sitting at his desk when a soft knocking awoke him from the trance he was in.
"Who is it?"
"'Say you love me every waking moment… Turn my head with talk of summer time.'"
Severus opened the door for Hermione. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room. "Severus, Harry and Ron know about us that is."
He let go of her small hand. "What do you mean they know."
"I mean they know that we are together and they probably realize that there is no tearing us apart. I love you and I don't care what they think. I love you with all my heart and soul and you're the only person that I could ever see myself with… ever." They kissed and Hermione felt him tangle his large hand in her mass of curls.
"I love you too, Hermione."
That night Hermione slept in the same room as her love. That night Hermione lost something in Severus Snape's rooms that no matter how hard any one looked for they would never be able to find it.
