Hermione's world had always been in black and white. She had never known why though. Her parents had taken her to many doctors to try and figure things out, but to no avail. Her world continued to be black and white.
She had often longed to see the colors, just as her parents did, just like everyone else. But she couldn't. No matter how hard she wished the black of the sky never turned blue.
Before her twelfth birthday an old lady, professor Minerva McGonagall had said that she was called, she had finally found out the truth, the reason she only saw two colours. The reason she was different and why she could do weird things happen.
She was a witch. That was why. She was part of a Magical Community where everyone had a soulmate and everyone saw in black and white, just like her, before kissing for the first time one's soulmate. After the first kiss shared with your one true love,you can see the wonder of the colours.
Hermione had been excited to find out all that, the only drawback was the fact that you had to kiss your soulmate on the lips to see the colours. True love's kiss, the most powerful magical of all. The professor had said that she shouldn't worry since she would be instantly attracted to him.

But she had retained, not wanting to scare him away. Little had she known that he had felt the same. After working together for months to get Hogwarts back to his former glory, he had asked her out.
That night had been magical. He had taken her to the Astronomy tower and they had had a picnic under stara. They had talked a lot. And after he had told her everything about his life and she about hers, they had bent simultaneously into a kiss. It had been...she had no words to describe the feeling.
And her whole world was full of colour.
She had found her soulmate that night, the one and only Severus Snape..
