Chapter Two:

Turning from the window and walking over to the desk were all her homework lay Hermione slumps down, in sadness. "Goodness I'll never get anything done this way," she says quickly. Glancing at the entrance of the common room she slams her book closed in frustration and heads for the dungeon. Muttering under her breath she quickly walks thru the halls until she comes to the potions classroom.

Knocking swiftly on the hard wooden door, she hears a faint enter from the other side. "Professor I was wondering if you could spare a moment of your time." She said softly. "Yes Miss. Granger what is it; I am a very busy man." the Professor said briskly. "Well professor I know your not my head of house and all , but I don't this Professor McGonagall would be the right person to talk to about male problems and well the headmaster ,is not very umm well you get the picture don't you ." Hermione asked. "Unfortunately Ms Granger I do." He sneered. "Yes well Professor I was wondering if well you could tell me the best way to end a relationship with out losing my best friend." She said. "What not happy with Potter?" He asked shocked.

He couldn't believe that she asked him how to break up with Potter, him of all people. The thought of this beautiful girl being with another man, no correction not a man a mere boy infuriated Severus to no end. I have watched and waited for nearly 7 years for this slip of a girl to forget Potter and be mine and her she was asking for my help breaking it off with Potter. That boy didn't deserve this young beautiful woman in front of him. He watched Potter when he didn't think anyone was watching he saw the way Potter was always looking at that Ginny Weasley girl. She was not even a sliver of the woman Hermione is. He treats Hermione like an old shoe, the boy was a fool, and if Hermione was his he would treat her like the goddess she is.

"Well Ms. Granger I don't really have much experience with this type of situation you realize. Maybe you should sit Mr. Potter down and just explain to him that you and he are good friends but as for more its just not working and you think he would be happier with someone else he has his eye on and that you want to remain just friends." Snape said quickly trying to get her to leave before he jumped on her like a hunger animal. "Um yes well that's just it I've tried to talk to him before and he's always to busy with something else to listen." She said biting her lip nervous around Snape. Thinking to her gads he's handsome. "Well if Mr. Potter can't realize what he has well then he's a fool and I for one wouldn't take you for granted." Severus said before he realize what he had said. "Do you mean that Severus?" Hermione asked with hope in her eyes.
