1 Potions isn't the Reason
A/N: I told you all that this chapter would be out before the weekend. Well guess what? It is the weekend! I have really good reasons though. First off I am suffering of severe Writer's Block in both fanfiction and school-wise (which isn't good at all.). Next is that I had a test in every subject you could think of. I had to study like for a full day if you counted up my hours together. Finally I had to read a biography of J.K. Rowling, The mind behind it all. I kinda related my life to hers and it ain't that different. This story isn't about me or Jo, it's about Snape and Hermione (basically) falling in love. Well let's hop to it then!
I had to sleep off this nonsense. I do not have a "thing" for Ms. Granger. I think it is just in my head. I must've been well crossed between my letter and Ms. Granger or something like that. That must be it. It was only a cross. Hermione and I only have a relationship between the tutoring. No romance involved. None whatsoever. That's what I dread most.
I was now asleep without any worries of Ms. Granger. I was dreaming the black pitch darkness as I always have until a blinding red light came. I saw my Hogwarts school crush- Lily. I was crying in my sleep practically. I saw those brilliant green eyes and her freckles that were on her soft cheeks and nose. I then saw her smile. I always fell for that smile. I was now crying for sure.
The face started changing. The red hair was gone and replaced with brown hair. I saw the emerald eyes turn to soft cinnamon, the freckles were gone but one thing wasn't missing. The smile. I never noticed how the two women both had the same exact smile. I then started to think. Maybe Hermione is the one I love. Maybe more than Lily. All I saw was Hermione. Those slender curves of her body made her quite sexy. I had to see her again.
I woke up with no red eyes but I could see the tear residue on my robes. I got up and saw my face in the mirror first thing. I saw how my hair was so unclean and now I did know why everybody called me "greaseball" in my years at Hogwarts. I looked very pale as if I was one inch from death. My skin looked as if it was a shrunken head's skin. I got up and did what I thought was necessary. Change my look.
I took off my robes and went in the shower. I took the forgotten shampoo in the corner and took some out. I put some on my head and started to scrub. I transfigured a few tiles into a mirror and still saw that the regular- amount of shampoo wasn't enough to make my hair clean. I washed my hair 3 times before I was satisfied. I then looked at my face. It looked very sallow and I knew that I couldn't get it the way I wanted to naturally so I just conjured a little rays and at least got a bit of a tan.
I knew whom this was for. Hermione. After many hours arguing (including sleep)
I didn't go to the great hall for breakfast because it took me long enough to get my new look correct. All I could think about is my first class. It was Monday. I was eager to see Hermione but I just remembered that I dismissed her from all classes except Fridays. Yet something regenerated my mind. I was going to see her tonight, alone.
All classes were shocked at my new appearance. Students talking even the female professors were giving me looks. Not like the ones I had in school but the one Potter (A/N: Sevie is referring to James Potter. Not Harry.) got from the female population. He could have taken anybody. Maybe Arabella Figg or Aphrodite Centra but no. He had to take the girl of my dreams. Who I worshipped and god forbid I practically had a shrine of her.
I went to my final class of the day. This was 6th year double potions Slytherin with Gryffindor. The students of course heard the shocking rumors but I believe both Gryffindors and Slytherins dropped everything, even their mouths. I gave them my usual death threat glare and they knew that my personality hasn't changed. Little do they know, I have changed. From outside to in.
I got in a cleaner set of robes when it was about time for Hermione to be in the Great Hall. I combed my hair for the fourth time and set off. I walked down the hall in a bit of a rush. I had to see those cinnamon eyes again. Those eyes were filled with the same sweetness as the sugar. All I want is to get lost in those cinnamon pools and swim in them till eternity is over.
I had the Great Hall in sight. I then saw Hermione, her back facing me, and I heard her ringing laugh. Her laugh was beautiful and full of life. I then was thinking why was she laughing so joyfully? A body moved up from the table and I knew who it was. Draco Malfoy. Hermione was flirting with Draco. After everything that was going through my head something even worse happened.
Draco held Hermione in his arms and pulled her towards him. They locked lips together but it seemed much more than that. Hermione closed the cinnamon pools and poured them into Draco's soul. I should be there. I should be there holding her and feeling the warm liquid filling my heart. I wanted to kill myself.
I then got a hold of myself and went to where the horrible action was taking place. "Ms. Granger, I believe it is time for your tutoring..." I was then interrupted by the one I now hated most, Draco.
"Please Professor, I can tutor Hermione. I believe I am top of the class." Draco said in a pleading voice. I knew what I wanted to say but something totally different came out.
"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger is learning more advanced potions that you could only dream about. Plus I know that you are not top of the class since Ms. Granger beat you in the contest." I saw Draco's expression. It was a mix of embarrassment and anger. "And let me add this as well Mr. Malfoy, after the action that you and Ms. Granger have taken part in I do not feel safe leaving you two together and alone in a room." Now Hermione was blushing. I finally got to the point where Draco couldn't even argue back.
"Yes, Professor. I understand." Draco finally forced out. He let go of Hermione's hand, which made me feel relieved, and let her come to me. I motioned Hermione to follow me and she did so. It was like I was the ruler and she, the slave. Did I always act like this? Acting powerful and unjust? Why am I thinking this now? Why? All these questions popping in my head? What is a man to do?
"Sorry Professor. Draco was there and we started talking and-" I turned around and took my hand up to show her to be quiet. I already knew the story. I heard it before. It actually happened to me once. I can only remember so well.
*~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~*
I went to the Slytherin Table doing my homework in the Great Hall. Everybody hated me in my house so I decided to start doing homework in my dorm, which was no different then doing it in the common room, or the Great Hall. A girl then came into the hall crying silently. I knew she was crying because of the sparkling water going down her cheeks and the red in her eyes. I got up from the table and abandoned my homework.
"Hello. My name is Severus Snape. What's wrong?" I rushed it a bit but the face came in contact with me and smiled. The red in her eye was going away a bit. I smiled back, not showing my teeth though.
"My ex just played a horrible trick on me." She started. I finally knew who this was. This was Lily Evans. She was James Potter's old girlfriend. After a year relationship together James dumped her and the school is still talking about it till this day.
"You mean James don't you?" I said. She shook her head yes. We talked until a teacher came in and said ten more minutes then it is lights out. I loved Lily from that point when she started talking. Lily said she was really cruddy at potions. I offered to tutor her and she agreed. Everything was great. Then I took the move. I kissed her. She didn't let go or anything. She stayed there with her eyes closed.
"Lily! What the hell have you done to her slimeball?!?" James shouted.
*~*~*END OF FLASH BACK*~*~*
Hermione and I were in the potions room finally. The room was ready for a perfect tutoring session, cauldron, ingredients, and even a few bottles for Hermione if she wanted to bottle some of her work. All I needed was the courage.
"Professor, I left my book in my common room. Can I." I interrupted her once more. I finally had the courage to tell the young child. If only I was younger.
"You won't be needing you're book tonight Ms. Granger. Did I say that my nephew is coming for a visit to Hogwarts tomorrow?" I said this in a totally different personality.
"You have a nephew? Wait. This will interfere with tomorrow's tutoring lesson, will it?" I shook my head no. The cinnamon pool eyes were more beautiful than ever. I needed to kiss her more than ever at this moment. I had to control myself though.
"I do have an important engagement for tomorrow night so he will be tutoring you instead of me. Very sorry about this on such short notice but I am lucky for my nephew to be here." Hermione looked as if she was disappointed of some sort. I was excited to see this look of disappointment. Yet what does a look of disappointment mean? Now I am scared.
"I believe your nephew is as good as you in potions." Hermione said in a voice that I never heard before. I dismissed Hermione off and onto bed with her pass. I cleaned the classroom up and went to my bedroom. I took out a cauldron and "Junggeselle Mischt". I knew exactly what I was going to do.
A/N: Okay. I hope I settled your cravings for a longer chapter. A fanfic author can only do soooooooooooooo much though. The note above was like written last week but the Snow Ball (our school's winter dance) was that Friday and I am in swimming and had a swimming meet this weekend so you see how hectic my last two weeks have been? LoL! O great now I have the freakin hiccups! Well I better hurry up with the spoilers now don't I? Well here they are.
Spoilers:
*Hermione falls in love with a certain person and it sure ain't Malfoy.
*Snape's nephew is named Seth.
*Hermione is defiantly learning too much and I can assure you it isn't in potions.
*Much Much longer chapter next time!
*~*Be a responsible reader and review this story or else you will die under my wrath! LoL!*~*
