She smiles back *Wow he is so cute*. Snape proceeds with talking about organizing the potions. He sits next to Hermione and all thoughts stop. She looks up at him. "Severus I am in love with you," she blurts out before she can realize what she said.

Hermione just stared at him waiting for him to explode. Severus's heart was racing **I can't believe it she has the same feelings I do, but it is wrong it is so wrong but it feels so right** Severus's thought was interrupted by Hermione, "Professor please say something."

"Please call me Severus," he began, "Hermione I have to admit that I to share your feelings." Hermione was so happy. **I can't believe this he feels the same way I do. ** He continued, "But this situation is rather he was lost for words. "Yes I feel the same way but maybe if we took it slow?" she suggested. Severus nodded and said, "Yes, yes I think that would be best."

Hermione was the happiest person in the world she did not think anyone could be as happy as her, little did she know the man sitting next to her was happier.

After a couple moments of silence Severus began talking again. "Hermione I expect that you do not tell anyone about us." "Oh no, I will not tell anyone I want to keep you all to myself," she said blushing. "Yes, well," he coughed trying to hide that he too was blushing. "In public we act if there is nothing going on and you will be treated as you always have been." She nodded.

"What about in private", she asked a little scared. "Oh much different", he said smiling. They continued talking for a while. Well Hermione it's getting late you better get back to your room before anyone suspects anything." She stands up and walks to the door with him behind her. "Have a nice night", he said as he kissed her on the check. She blushed and said the same as she walked out the door.

Hermione practically ran back to her room. She mumbled the password as she rushed into the common room. "There you are" Harry said turning to her. "Want to play some wizard chess" Ron said examining the board. "No, I'm exhausted I'm going to go to bed". She rushed up to her room and shut the door.

Severus cleaned up the tea and headed to bed. As he climbed into bed he thought about what had just happened. "I can't believe she has feelings for me." "Goodnight love." Severus fell asleep for the first time in years with a smile on his face.

As she was getting ready to go to bed she couldn't help but smile. She climbed into bed and before drifting off to sleep she mumbled, "Goodnight Severus."
