Chapter 4: Talk
"Hermione, what is going on? Tell me, you know you can talk to me gurl, if it's about some guy....I promise not to say a word to anyone!" Ginny pleaded as she let go of my arm, she had managed to drag me all the way to the portrait in front of our dormitories.
"Let's go inside first." I said, glancing around nervously at the thought of someone overhearing us.
"Alright...Mahogany." The portrait swung itself open to Ginny. We both turned and walked inside it, heading for our rooms, as soon as we got there, I went over to the bed, and sat down, wrinkling the sheets as I decided to lay down instead. Ginny stood by one of the beds, leaning on it.
"I...well...you're not gonna like this....." I started, turning red like a cherry, "Um...you see..."
"Spit it out girl!"
"IreallylikeprofessorsnapeIjustrealizeditafewdaysagoanditsreallystartingtogettome." I mumbled incoherently.
"What? I managed to hear something about Snape? I didn't catch the rest." Ginny chuckled.
"I really like professor Snape, I just realized it a few days ago, and it's really starting to get to me." I slowed my talking down so she would understand.
"O.............um......geez.....I had a sneaky suspicion that you did, but I didn't know for sure."
"Was it that obvious?" I blused yet again.
"Yeah, especally when you were trying to stare nonchalantly over in his direction at the table." Ginny snickered.
"Oh, shut up!" I laughed, my embarrassment ceasing.
"So, when did you start to like him?"
"1st year, didn't really start to realize it till a little while after." I admitted.
"Damn...so...what are you going to do about it?"
"I have no idea, try and forget it I guess, Snape would never view me as anything more than a student, a Gryffindor student no less." I sighed.
"Aww don't say that, you never know, a lot of people would surprise you...Draco for instance, I never thought I'd be calling him my boyfriend, but here he is now, teamed up on our side. Some people do change, you never can tell." Ginny said.
"True true, I see your point." I smiled.
"So, when do you have detention with old Snapey, eh?"
"Ginny! Gosh, hehe, tonight at 8."
"Oooo, sounds like a date to me." She smirked.
"Shut up!" I playfully smacked her, we ended up bursting into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
