Hermione woke up in the morning and couldn't remember why she had such a
feeling of dread in her stomach. Then she remembered last night. 'How could
I have been so stupid!' she thought, 'He probably doesn't even like me like
that and I just had to go up and kiss him! Even if it was just on the
cheek! I'd better find him and apologize.'
She got dressed and headed down to breakfast. When she got there she saw that Harry and on were already eating. 'That's a first' she thought to herself.
"Hello," she sighed sitting down in her usual spot.
"Hello," they answered at once.
"What happened yesterday after your detention?" Harry asked her, "You just ran off to your dorm without saying anything."
"Yeah and you left without saying anything either," Ron said crossly.
"Well with you begging me to tell you why I was so excited I was afraid you would stalk me. And as for after wards, I'm really sorry for not talking to you. I was really tired and all I wanted was to go to bed and-" she stopped talking at that moment because she had just spotted Severus entering the Great Hall. "I've gotta go. I'll see you in potions." She ran to were Severus was and pushed him out of the hall.
"Hermione- what are you doing?" he stuttered as she pushed him.
"We have to talk," she said shortly.
"Alright then. Don't push. Where should we go to talk?"
"Let's go out onto the grounds," she said now pulling him towards the doors.
"Alright, I can walk myself you know."
"Not if you don't walk fast enough!"
Severus chuckled and stopped pressing his feet into the floor so she couldn't move him.
"SEVERUS!!!" she yelled at him in frustration.
Severus chuckled again and walked along to the doors. When they got outside, they walked to the lake and sat down.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Severus said good naturedly.
"Well, I, um, wanted to say sorry about kissing you last night," she looked into her lap expecting him to laugh at her.
"Why are you sorry?"
She hadn't expected that. "Well... It was right out of nowhere! I just... well... er... thought you wouldn't... um... like me doing that..." she ended lamely.
Severus was silent. Then he said quietly, "Actually, I did like it."
Hermione stared, "What?"
Severus looked at her. "I really like you, Hermione. Not like a friend like, but a really like," he siad sincerely.
Hermione continued to stare.
"I'm sorry. I'm rambling now aren't I?" Severus looked away. Or he tried to, but he suddenly felt a soft hand pull him to face Hermione. She then pulled his face towards hers and he felt soft lip against his. At first he was shocked, but then he kissed back. He put his arm around her waist as the kiss intensified.
Hermione didn't know what had made her kiss him. She had been so shocked and happy that he had really liked her back that it had seemed like the right thing to do at that moment.
They were interrupted when they heard a beeping and Hermione ignored it at first, until she realized it was her watch alarm. She pulled regretfully away from Severus.
"Oh, my gosh! It's time for class!" she exclaimed.
They stood up and ran towards the castle Hermione in the lead. Severus finally just slowed to a walk. It didn't matter if he was late, he was the teacher. He watched as she ran up the stairs and into the Hall. She had kissed him. Wow! He felt good! Maybe he would give the students a free day.
