The Forbidden Crush
Chapter 2
Hermione walked into the classroom and as she expected he wasn't here yet and she was the first one to arrive. She chose her favorite seat in the center front on the right. It was the closest to his desk. Soon the rest began arriving last to come in were Ron and Harry. Ron sat next to Draco with whom they became friends with after the war and as usual Harry sat next to her. Draco sat behind her, they figured if the 2 of them had themselves near Harry and Ron that maybe they could help them do better and not be so idiotic especially being this was Snape's class.
And right on cue on the hour the door sung open and Snape barged into the room with his robes gracefully billowing out behind him and abruptly stopped in front of the class near her. She took in his wonderful small of parchment, musk, and she heard his voice. He told them to write down the instructions and ingredients for the Amortentia potion and retrieve the ingredients. She let her quill do the work and looked at the board and grabbed the ingredients she needed. She then helped Harry find what was needed as he looked lost in the supplies closet. She brewed her potion all the while stealing quick glances at Snape. After she finished she went to steal another glance to see he wasn't there and then as she went to back up bumped into somebody. She turned around to realize it was Snape. He opened his mouth and began to speak.
"Your potion seems to be satisfactory Miss Granger" he then walked to the front of the class and spoke again " When you are all done with your potions you are dismissed and I expect a full scroll essay on exactly how and what you used to brew your potion, What the results were, and if you brewed it correctly what you smelled and what each smell means to you".
When she heard this she put her head down allowing her hair to fall over her face to hide her blushing cheeks. Hermione was afraid he might figure her out with this essay, What she smelled was his scent. She realized Harry asked her something and turned to him and asked him to repeat the question.
"Are you okay 'Mione? You seem down." he said quietly so nobody else could hear.
She straightened herself out and mustered up her best friendly smile. "I'm fine Harry, I'm done with my potion so I'm going to go get started on my paper now. I'll see you later Harry."
She turned to Ron and Draco and said her farewells to them and stole once last quick glance at her Professor and accidentally made eye contact with him then turned away and left the room as quickly as she could.
