"What was that all about?" Ron asked. Hermione had just gotten back to the common room, still a bit shaken from being yelled at.
"What do you mean?" She countered, as Ron gave back her bag.
"You just dumped your bag on me without any warning and no explaination of where you were going," Ron explained, "and I want to know what's going on."
"Nothing's going on," Hermione snapped. "I just was doing some research for Herbology, thats all."
"Fine, don't tell me." Ron fumed, and stomped out of the room.
"He's only worried about you, Hermione." Harry said, once Ron had gone. "He is your friend, after all."
"I know," Hermione sighed, sitting in front of the fire. "Will you tell him I'm sorry? I just was thinking about something and he broke my concentration." Harry nodded, and went upstairs after Ron.

When Severus had finished crying, he headed back to the castle and to his room. He felt very tired all of a sudden, and wanted to sleep.
He continually dreamt about Draco. Every time, Draco would be just within an arm's reach, and then he'd disappear. Every time, Severus would wake up suddenly, and cry himself to sleep.

"Draco died yesterday." Ron said to Hermione, as they hurried to Potions. He had forgiven her, and they were talking again. "That might have somthing to do with what you saw yesterday."
"Yeah, everyone knows Malfoy was Professor Snape's favorite student." Harry agreed, "Some people said there was something more between them." Hermione wrinkled her nose at Harry's suggestion.
"Besides, what do you care?" Ron asked, "He'd do anything just to get the three of us expelled!" Hermione nodded, but the fact that she had seen the Potions Master cry made her want to believe that maybe he wasn't as horrible as her friends thought.

Severus was glad when class was finally over, so he could finally be alone. Except one student wouldn't leave him by himself.
"Miss Granger, leave my class room, now!" He shouted, expecting the same reaction he had recieved earlier. Hermione looked frightened, but she didn't move. Finally she headed towards the door, but before she left, Hermione turned towards him.
"I just wanted to say I was sorry about Draco..." She whispered, looking at her feet. "Even if he was a teacher's pet... and even if you don't really like me and my friends much." With that, she left.
Severus didn't know how to react to it. She had offered sympathy, but insulted Draco at the same time. He decided it would be best to ignore the incident, but he couldn't. What on earth could have motivated Hermione to do such a thing?

Okay, okay, I know. No HG/SS romance yet. Please be paitent, it will happen... eventually.
"Why did you leave me?" he asked hoarsly.
"I was afraid. We can't let anyone know about us." Severus whispered quickly. "I had to make it look like I don't care too much." Draco nodded, and smiled again.
"It was nice to see you one last time, Sev." He murmured back. Severus took Draco's hand, and Draco squeezed lightly before sighing. His face went slack and his head fell over. Severus sat there for awhile before he could finally stand and coldly informed Madam Pomfey of the situation.
Severus hurried out of the castle, silent tears falling shortly after he exited Hogwarts.

Hermoine finally caught up with Professor Snape, and was surprised to see him crying.
"Professor? Are you--" She began, but he turned quickly and snarled at her.
"Stupid girl!" He hissed, "Can you not see I want to be alone?" Hermione shrank back and hurried back to the castle.
