Exasperation
By: The Duck
A/N: OK, this is my response to the WIKTT Picture Challenge more specifically to HowlingMojo's great picture entry entitled Inner Snape. It was such a wonderful picture I just had to write a little drabble about it. Let's see how many words a picture is actually worth.

************
Hermione was fed up, plain and simply. All day she had dealt with the incessant questioning and constant dribble of her so called friends. Ex- Friends was more like it.
Draco Malfoy, her ex boyfriend, and very soon to be Deceased Ex- Boyfriend. Was glaring at her in a very jealous fashion. She didn't know how it happened but somehow the secret relationship between herself and Potions Master Severus Snape had now become Hogwarts most popular gossip subject.
This was the reason Hermione found herself sitting in the library with Harry Potter on her right and Draco Malfoy on her left. Both standing over her giving disapproving looks. Draco because he was out of his skull with jealously and Harry because he had developed a protective Big Brother Complex.
"He's too old for you!" Came from the right.
"I'm a so much better choice." Came the voice from the left.
It had been going on all afternoon, they had practically been stalking her since they found out.
"He's greasy and crabby and Hermione you're making a mistake."
"He's …SNAPE!" For goodness sakes.
"I never thought I would say this, but…well said Draco."
Draco nodded his head pompously. "Thank you, Potter."
Hermione snapped the book closed in irritation as she rolled her eyes at the way the two were trying to make her see the light. She pushed back her chair from the table and left the library with both boys following her like a couple of lost puppies begging for a bone. Turning a corner she saw a black figure heading down the hall towards her. She came up to him a little bit faster and wrapped her arms around his waist and laying her head on his chest.
Draco was glaring with pure venom at Snape. While Harry had his arms crossed across his chest his lips pursed in a very McGonagall like stance. The bickering started almost immediately the boys both pouncing on Snape with their verbal daggers. Hermione groaned into his chest and yelled still not moving her head.
"Would you all please, SHUT UP."
Everybody went silent in shock, not many had ever heard Hermione yell or get extremely pissed off. At this new silence Hermione got a dreamy smile on her face and sighed happily.
"That's better." She said snuggling into him even more. Hermione seemed to be completely oblivious as to what her body was doing to him at that moment. He wanted nothing more than to take her in his arms and kiss her absolutely senseless. Filled with irritation at the boys for their annoying behavior toward his lover. Snape did the only logical thing he could think to do.
He gave them The Finger.

A/N: Yeah, I know silly, stupid, short. But hey I needed to get rid of it. Any comments very welcome!
