Hermione opened her eyes. What was that noise? She heard it again. It was the chimes to alert her that someone was outside her chambers.
Hermione lazily got out of bed. What time was it? Being in the dungeon and without windows left her clueless as to the time of day. She went to the stone wall, which was the exit, and tapped on it with her wand.
Hermione narrowed her eyes.
With a wave of black, Severus stepped passed her and entered the room. The archway closed and Hermione turned around to face him.
"Good morning, love." He greeted her. When she didn't respond he went to her kitchenette to fix a cup of tea.
Severus eyed Hermione warily. "Did I wake you up?" He asked.
"Did I wake you up!" She spat. "Does it look like I've been up for an hour or even up for five minutes?"
He gave her an amused look. "What, dear lady, is your problem?"
Hermione slumped onto the couch. "I'm sorry, Sev." She said and smiled sheepishly. "I was up all hours wandering the corridors because I couldn't sleep."
"Anything bothering you?" Severus asked.
Yes Hermione wanted to say to him. I am a lonely stupid girl who is fearfully falling in love with her best friend who just happens to be twenty years her senior!
But all she said was: "No, Sev. Don't worry. I'm just tired."
"Exhausted is more like it." His lips curled into a smile.
"Good thing today's a Saturday then, isn't it?" She said, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes." He said and gave her a reprimanding sort of look. "Now you get back to bed, Miss Granger."
She smiled sleepily. "Yes, professor." She said, but made no attempt to move from the very comfortable couch.
He put his teacup on the coffee table and picked Hermione up. "A couch is no bed."
He carried her to her bed, peeled away the covers, and tucked her in.
She thanked him in a whisper without opening her eyes.
He smiled back. "I'll return for you in an hour or so," He said to her. "I'll come with food. I have to talk to you about something."
"Sure…whever," [sure…whatever] she said in a sleepily slurred voice.
Severus Snape looked upon Hermione Granger with a smile and left the room.
