Chapter twelve
It had been five days since Hermione's arrival; she was currently a summer guest of the fat lady and Gryffindor tower. Hermione had fully recovered from her injuries but was still a bit jittery around anyone other than Snape, She and Snape had formed a quick but unbreakable friendship which neither Hermione nor Snape, particularly, wanted too lose. This strong bond, as none other than Dumbledore new of the Soul mates link, greatly angered Sirius Black, for why did Severus Snape deserve Hermione's Friendship and kindness? But was it the only reason that Sirius was furious at this bond?
The other professors were not so blind, they could see something other than friendship being formed between the two hurt souls and were pleased as they both deserved a lot more than hurt in their lives. But…
"Albus, don't you think it's a bit… injudicious to let them become so close?" whispered McGonagall as they watched them talk and laugh together,
"No I'm afraid I don't Minerva…"
"But surly student-teacher relations…"
"Have no place here when I am headmaster, especially when it comes to two people who have been hurt deeply whether they be professor and student I really don't care, as long…" continues Dumbledore with a sly smile,
"As they are respectful to the other occupants of this castle and are discreet about what they do."
"ALBUS!!" cried McGonagall drawing attention to their conversation but not including Hermione and Snape who were busy with their own.
"Yes Minerva?" asked Dumbledore amusedly,
"Well… they… wouldn't, Severus…"
"Is a man Minerva," he pointed out mildly but firmly,
"But surely Albus you wouldn't allow that sort of behaviour between a sixth year student and a thirty seven year old man?!"
"Minerva, by wizarding and muggle laws Hermione is of age and can choose to do what she wants and with whom that activity occurs with, both she and Severus will make the right choice and I believe that they will be very happy. You should also remember that Severus would make the right decision, and respect this castle and it's occupants, as he would not want the public's attention. I also believe that he would never hurt Hermione through friendship or love."
"Your right of course Albus, as you always are but if he does hurt her he will have a lot of people to answer too, especially Mr's Potter and Weasley, who are like a pair of very protective brothers towards that girl, I believe that Mr Weasley is more protective of Hermione than his own sister." Declared McGonagall.
"Your right, your right" chuckled Dumbledore as the pair rose to exit the great hall as was Remus and Sirius, who was staring daggers towards Snape much to the amusement of Remus.
Hermione and Severus remained seated, still quietly talking and laughing oblivious to their surroundings and that they were now alone.
Hope it's not crap if so please tell me I won't mind, well it most probably will but hey least it serves as a review.
