Chapter 25 of Kitten

"Ginny, I can't believe you!"

"Ron, keep your voice down!"

"I won't! This is insane! Can't any of you see the total insanity of this! Hermione in love with Snape! It's disgusting! Why the bloody hell won't any of you get that through your heads that this is SNAPE we're talking about!"

"I know what your talking about, Ron, but-"

"But nothing! Ginny! Hermione is in love with SNAPE!"

"I'm aware of that! But what you won't become aware of is the fact that he loves her just as much!"

"...that's sick, Ginny. That greasy bastard isn't capable of love. It's a foreign word to him. He's just some disgusting child molestor who's somehow convinced Hermione that she loves him... and you know what? I don't even want to think about this anymore. This is seriously scarring me for life. You go ahead and think whatever you like, but until you guys all come to your senses don't talk to me anymore. I'm through with this."

Ginny glared at his back as he left the empty classroom they had been talking in. She huffed in frustration as he slammed the door. He was just being difficult. She had thought maybe she could talk him around, telling him of her discovery of Snape's love etc etc, but it turned out that he was even more hard set on hating the potion's master than she even was. At least she was able to admit defeat and accept the obvious! Boys! Honestly!

Huffing once more in a very Mrs. Weasley like manner, she followed her brother out, going to the Gryffindor common room.

Lesson 4

"I spoke to McGonagall today, Miss Granger," Severus said indifferently to the student working in front of him.

"Yes?" she said, focusing mainly on her potion. A particularly nasty one involving the curing of overgrown cursed body parts. She sat before her cauldron as her professor stood over her, watching her progress.

"She says you are taking extra classes with her now. She would not say what, but I cannot imagine what else you need for your medi-witch course that would demand more extra classes. When do you plan to sleep? Or eat for that matter."

She smiled at him. "I'm studying to become an animagus," she said simply. His eyebrows raised, expecting a further answer. "I'm going to become a cat."

She smiled at him at he froze, an unintelligable look coming over his features. He did quite know how to react to that. His kitten...

"Well, Miss Granger... that's... uh..." over come with emotion, and unable to express the right words, he pulled her close to him. A quick embrace, she didn't even have time to react, and she was back in her place and he turning away to his desk. He hadn't known whether to laugh or cry. But her went for the former. A smile broke out on his face.

"Miss Granger," He said, chuckles bubbling strainedly from him, as if his throat was unused to the foreign action, "You really are to much." She was wonderful, she knew just where to hit him, knew what buttons to push to bring the best from him.

She smiled fondly at him and returned to her potion.

He watched her exit the classroom, a blissful look on her face and his stomach twisted in anger. It really did sicken him, it drove him into a rage. What was she thinking? Who knew just what went on in their cozy little "potion lessons."

She was supposed to be his. Everyone knew it. They had been destined to be together ever since they had first met.

So why was it that she was betraying him like this?

But she wasn't to blame. He shouldn't be feeling angry at her... it was Snape. His blood boiled as he thought of the Potions Master. Yes, that was it. It was all Snape's fault. He had tricked her somehow. In some way he had tricked her into thinking she loved him. It wasn't Hermione's fault. It was Snape's. And somehow... sometime... he would get his revenge on that man.
