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."
The next morning Hermione woke and felt better than ever. She dressed and headed down to the common room where Harry and Ron were waiting. "I am sorry about last night you guys but I was tired," she said while they were walking to the Great Hall. "It's ok Hermione we understand," said Harry. "Yeah anyone who has to spend time with Snape is aloud to be moody and unhappy," Ron chimed in. They final arrived at the Great Hall and took their seats. Harry and Ron began talking about Quidditch and she let her eyes roam to find Severus. Hermione looked up to his seat but he was not there. She felt panic come over her.
It was a Saturday so there were not any classes. "I have to excuse myself, I'm not feeling quit well", Hermione said as she fled the great hall. She was in tears running down the hall not knowing where she was going. She didn't notice but Severus was coming down the hall. She proceeded to keep running but he grabbed her and she let out a squeal. "Shhh, what's the matter", Severus said in a low whisper. She looks at him and all she can manage to say is you and breakfast. He takes her back to his chambers to calm her down.
"Hermione, please calm down," he pleaded. "I am sorry it just scared me." "I am not going anywhere I promise." "I wish we could go out like normal people," she said. "Yes a courtship would be very nice." "But we can't," she trailed off. "No we can not," he said firmly. "How about after I graduate?" she asked. "Yes I see no problem then," he said. "Well that is just a few weeks away," she smiled up at him.
"I know," he says with a somewhat dark voice as he approaches Hermione. She just smiles. "Wound you like to have a seat on the couch?". She sits down and he sits beside her just taking in her smell. He has his nose in her neck smelling her and she giggles. "Sorry you just smell so good". "Oh you smell very pleasant to", she said blushing. "How would you like to have lunch down here, you just need to think of something to tell your friends why you were gone", Severus said. "I would love to", she said very quickly.
Severus disappeared and a few minutes later returned with trays of food. "If you would follow me my love." She follows him to a little table. He puts down the trays and pulls out her chair. "Thank you," Hermione said. He then took his seat. They enjoyed their little lunch and talked about many things. Hermione told him all about her life and the things she enjoyed to do. She felt his foot on her leg and she looked at him and smiled. "I better get going Harry and Ron are probably flipping out." "Yes I guess I have had you to myself for long enough," he said smiling.
He walked her to the door, "I will see you later Hermione." She reached up and gave him a little kiss on the check and then he hugged her. "Hopefully not to much later," she said smiling as she walked out.
