Love me like you never said you would

Ch.2 Dreaming



It was just a normal day. But Hermione could tell that wasn't true, there was something different about today. She could feel it in her bones, that warm feeling that sent chills down her spine. Maybe today was that day. The day that she would spill out her feelings to him. Put her heart on a platter infront of him. How she wanted him to accept her, to return those lust filled dreams that she was tortured with each night. She had to tell him today, while she still had the courage to do it. She prayed with every fiber of her being that he felt the same way. She didn't want to think about what would happen if he didn't feel the same way. She wouldn't be able to handle the rejection. Hermione was going to tell him today, she had to.

Entering the Great Hall that day felt different. When he glanced at Hermione it felt like a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He didn't know what that feeling was, but he wanted it more often. Maybe that was someone's way of hinting that it was time. When he looked at her again, her face was lit up by one of her smiles. She looked so happy. He wanted to make her feel like that. He wanted to make her smile. Today was the day he has been waiting for forever.

Hermione was sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room that night. She debated whether or not she should go to the dungeons. She wanted to tell him, she really did. But she didn't want the pain that would come with the truth. She finally gave in and walked out the portrait hole. "Come on Hermione, you can do this." She kept telling herself.

Before she knew it she was infront of his door, holding out her hand, ready to knock. She screwed her eyes shut and knocked. She could have sworn that he was right next to it, because it automatically opened.

"Are you going to stand there and stare forever or do you want to come in?" Snape eyed her. She just nodded and walked into the room, suddenly feeling the cold overwhelm her. "Are you alright Hermione? Do you want a blanket or something?" "No, Im fine." She watched him for a moment. "You called me Hermione." He laughed. "Well, that's your name. Isnt it?" She turned red. "Yes, but you usually call me by my last name." "Do you mind if I call you Hermione?" Her name sounded so beautiful when he spoke it. "No, I think it sounds good coming from you." She turned away from him after realizing what she said.

"There's a reason why im here." He reached out and turned her towards him. He softly caressed her cheek, she closed her eyes and leaned into his touch. "I have something to te-" She started to say something but was quickly cut off by his lips on hers.

She would have melted into a puddle if he hadnt wrapped his arms around her just then. She felt her knees give out, but he didn't let her fall. He backed her up into the stone cold wall, his lips never leaving hers. Hermione could have sworn that she was dreaming, and if she was she never wanted to wake up. She broke from the kiss and he growled in disapproval. "I-Im sorry, I cant do this." And she ran out of the room.

A/N: This chapter is kinda stupid. I wrote it really fast. So don't complain! And I changed it a bit. It sounded really stupid before. Thanks to Archergrl, Keraki, and Auror Lupin.
