Walking After You

Chapter Sixteen

~~~~~~~~~~

Disclaimer: see chapter one.

Just a note: I'm getting rid of "I Will Remember You." I'm sorry. I haven't updated that story in one month and I don't really know what to do with it. If anyone wants to take it over or steal my idea, by all means do so; just tell me so I can read it! I really don't know what to do with it. The idea was good to begin with, but I have no plot; heck, I don't even know what happened to Severus or how he got back! Oh, well. All's well that ends well.

Severus Snape rolled over and groaned a very irritated groan.

"Why me?" He asked the ceiling. "Why the hell does it have to happen to me?" He roared.

There came a knock at the door. Severus growled.

"Umm, I think I'll answer that." Hermione Granger got off the bed and put on her bathrobe. "I think everyone in this house prefers to live…"

Severus narrowed his eyes at her maliciously.

Hermione smiled sweetly at him.

"Uncle Severus?" Came a muffled voice outside the door.

Hermione opened the door and found Snape's youngest niece. "Oh! Hello, Hermione!"

"Good morning, Elisabeth."

"Um, Grandmum wanted me to tell you and Uncle Severus that it's almost time for breakfast."

"Thanks Elisabeth. We'll be down soon."

The younger girl nodded and turned to leave. With that, Hermione shut the door.

"I'm not hungry." Severus muttered from his place on the bed.

"That's really too bad, Severus." Hermione murmured into his ear as she layer down next to him. "They'll become suspicious if you don't show."

"They have every right to be,"

"Whatever, Severus. I'm gonna be in the shower."

Severus looked after her as she walked into the bathroom. Hermione turned around to look at him and he raised his eyebrows suggestively. She closed the door and his eyebrows dropped. Oh well, its not like she locked it. With a smile he got off the bed and walked towards the door.

"Well, I guess I'll see you around, huh, Hermione?" Harry Potter said to his best friend, his eyes on the floor.

Hermione Granger laughed at her friend. "Are you going to miss the ground much, Harry?"

Harry looked up, his cheeks rosy. "Sorry, 'Mione. It's just weird."

"I know Harry, but I'm still your friend, right?"

"My friend who's dating my former teacher." Harry said with a wry smile. "I'll see you soon, enough Hermione."

They embraced each other. "Happy Christmas, Harry." Hermione said with a smile.

"Happy Christmas to you, too, Hermione."

With a pop, harry disapparated.

"Uncle Severus, wake up!" Elisabeth's voice rang throughout the corridor. "You too, Hermione! I know you're in there."

Severus groaned.

"Uncle Severus!" The heavy wooden door swung open.

"Elisabeth!" Hermione exclaimed. "WE could have been—"

"Having sex, I know, but you weren't." Elisabeth said lackadaisically. {hehehe, big word}

"Hold your tongue, young lady!" Severus snarled.

"Oh, Uncle—"

"Elisabeth." Severus said in a low growl.

"Sorry, Uncle Severus." She squeaked out. "Umm, Christmas morning, hurry down." The young girl hurried out and closed the door.

it doesn't mean you have to have sex.

"Oh! Are you doing magic? Let's see then!" Hermione Granger said pretentiously.

"Sunshine daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" Ron Weasley waved his wand; nothing happened. He turned to Harry Potter, his new friend, and shrugged.

"Are you sure that's a real spell?" The young girl smirked. Well, it's not very good , is it?"

"You're a little scary sometimes, you know. Brilliant, but scary!"
