Part Thirty-Six: A Dream?
Hermione stretched slowly. Her bed was so warm and cozy. If only she could stay in it all day and recover from her cold. Hermione sighed and took a deep breath through her nose. In fact, she felt her normal self.
"Hmm…" Hermione vaguely remembered seeing Severus but he wouldn't have stopped by, would he?
As she sat up, Hermione noticed a bottle of Pepper Up potion on her nightstand. He had been here.
Hermione smiled. He really was wonderful.
But as she stood up, she remembered that she had done something terrible last night.
She had actually sneezed in his face. How embarrassing. Poor Severus…
Hermione chuckled as she shuffled to the kitchen. You couldn't say he wasn't stoic no matter what the situation.
As she was pouring herself some coffee, Hermione noticed a note sitting on the countertop.
Sick Invalid-
I highly suggest using the potion beside your bed next time you feel ill. Perhaps then you will avoid projecting unwanted attention upon your professors. I do not want to make a habit of playing mother.
S.
Hermione grinned to herself. She doubted whether Severus could ever really be mad at her. Oh, he tried to be, but it wouldn't work. She knew better.
Hermione finished the rest of her coffee and decided how best to make use of her day off. If she wanted to carry out her plans, she better get going before others decided to start their day.
……..
It's been soooo long. I honestly can't apologize enough. Blame college- it's stopped pretty much everything in my life. ;)
I've got half of the next chapter written too, so hopefully that will be up soon. It's a bit longer than this.
I miss you guys heaps so leave me lots of comments so I'm not so lonely anymore. ;)
