Chapter 7
For the remainder of the day Hermione just was so depressed, that she didn't know what to do with herself. Hermione anxiously looked at the clock almost unable to bear the pressure of what she had heard Severus say. She just wanted to go be alone for once without of the distractions of anything else. Hermione wanted to go right up to Severus and tell him that she was in love with him and she wanted him to be with her and not whomever the other woman was he was talking about. She just wanted to at least be able to have the satisfaction that Severus wasn't seeing anyone and it was ok to want to be with him forever. But Hermione knew she couldn't just go up to Severus and tell him this. She knew consequences that would come if she did tell him and he didn't feel the same way. Hermione thought about it and she didn't want to ruin her clean reputation just for a crush. Hermione just wanted to make every dream she has come true.
At lunch Severus came over to Hermione and stood tall and cold looking.
"Miss Granger, I would like to see you in my classroom after you are finished with you're lunch. I need to talk to you about something rather important."
"All right Professor Snape. I'll be there directly after lunch." Hermione said with a puzzled look on her face.
"What was that about Hermione?" Harry asked
"I'm not quite sure but I'll find out quickly enough." Hermione replied staring at Severus as he walked away.
After Hermione finished her lunch, quite quickly, she walked down to the Potions classroom. When Hermione go to the classroom she walked in slowly. Hermione wanted to break down and cry when she saw him because she knew that this couldn't be anything more than just a teacher wanting to talk to his student.
"Professor Snape?"
"Yes Miss Granger?"
"You wanted to see me?"
"Oh, yes I did. Could we go somewhere that isn't so in the open?"
"I guess we could"
"All right, good." Severus led Hermione down a long, cold and musty passageway that finally ended in a dungeon with chains on the walls. There was a chair and a couch and a bookcase filled with books.
"This is where I come when I need to really think. Nobody knows about this place. I come here to be alone. Not ever Professor Dumbledor knows about this place." Severus said turning to look at Hermione.
"Well it's nice." Hermione said looking around.
"I brought you down here to tell you something." Severus said with a quivering voice.
"Well what would you like to ask me?" Hermione asked thinking about what he could be asking that could be so horrible that he needed to bring her to a secluded place.
"Um... Well I brought you down here to tell you... The girl I was talking about in my classroom when you walked in wasn't a girlfriend of mine. I'm not seeing anybody."
"Ok, then who was it if it wasn't a girlfriend? I mean you don't talk about someone like that unless you are so in love with them you lose yourself in the love."
"It was you I was talking about Hermione. YOU, only you."
