Chapter 5

When Hermioone walked into Potions class for the first time since last year, she had an abundance of feelings and she didn't know what to do with them all. She had the tiniest smile on her face that wasn't very noticeable because Hermione didn't want Severus to know about her undying love for him. Severus gave Hermione a glance when she walked in. Hermione wondered what Severus could be thinking when he gave her that look. It was a look almost of love, happiness, and wonder. Just then Hermione thought, turning away from Severus,

'My goodness, Severus looked at me. Does he suspect that I love him? I hope not. Wait, maybe I'm just being paraniod about this.'

Just then Harry walked into the classroom. Harry looks around for his friends. Finally he spots Hermione and he smiles quite oddly and walks over to Hermione. He sits in the chair right next to her.

"Hi Hermione." Harry said staring at Hermione.

"Hello Harry." Hermione responded rolling her eyes as her turned away from him to read.

"I have a question for you Hermione." Harry said as his voice quivered.

"What would you like to ask me Harry?"

"Well, um... would you um.... Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Harry asked shying away.

"Well, um... I'll tell you what. If you could give me just a day or two I could be able to give you a better answer. I just need to think about it for a few days."

"All right, that is fine."

Just then Professor Snape started his lesson. He acted like himself all accept one aspect, he wasn't picking on Hermione at all. Everyone else got the usual insults or the usual teasing accept Hermione. Severus ended class with the usual thing and everyone just piled out of the room to get to their next class.
