I do not own the "Harry Potter" series or any of the characters. Only the story idea is my own.

Severus felt guilty. It had been only a month since Draco had died, and yet he had found himself daydreaming about someone else already. He always kept a picture of Draco in the inside pocket of his robes, and he took it out now.
"Forgive me, love," Severus whispered. "I know you would want me to move on with my life. It's just..." He sat on his bed, and looked away from the picture. It was almost as hard admitting his transgression to the picture as would have been if Draco had been there in real life. Several moments passed before Severus could get his voice again.
"It's just I've fallen in love with someone...you wouldn't aprove of." Severus finished. He knew that would make Draco curious, and he looked at the picture again. "It's Hermione Granger."

Hermione felt even more uncomfortable in Potions than usual. She wasn't sure if it was the fact that she had offered sympathy to Professor Snape, who had hated her and her friends ever since they started Hogwarts, or if it was his sudden change in attitude towards her. Either way, she couldn't bear to look at Professor Snape all during class.
When class was finally dismissed, she hurried to gather her things. She began to walk towardsthe door with Harry and Ron, when she felt a slight tug on her bag, and turned around.
"You dropped something," Lavender Brown explained, "I was just putting it back in your bag for you." Hermione smiled and nodded, relieved. She had thought for sure she had gotten detention for not paying attention in class.
But then again, why hadn't she?

*That Night*
Hermione had opened her bag to get her homework after dinner, and found a annonymus note asking her to go outside. At first, she decided not to go, believeing it to be a practical joke of Lavender's. It was Ron and Harry's curiosity that had changed her mind.
"We can all three sneak out under Harry's invisibility cloak," Ron planned, "And while this mystery person comes out to meet you, Harry and I will remain hidden so that we can make sure you're all right."
So here she was, freezing cold, and wondering how much longer until this person came to see her.
~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~
Severus couldn't bring himself to go out and meet Hermione. He still felt guilty, as if Draco was holding him back. He took out the picture and sat on the bed.
"I love her, Draco." He whispered, "Please, just leat me move on. You'll always be special to me, but I want to be with Hermione now." Severus felt as if a weight had been lifted from him, and he headed outside.
~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~
"Let's go inside." Hermione whispered. "Their not coming." She went over to the tree where she had taken off the cloak, but before Harry could get to her, she heard someone clear their throat. She turned quickly to see Professor Snape and looked down at her feet, expecting the inevitable.
/Miss Granger, 25 points form Gryffindor for breaking curfew. Now get back inside./ She thought.
"Miss Granger," Professor Snape began, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"What?" She demanded, and was certain she heard some movement that could only be Harry and Ron.
"I believe you recieved my note?" He asked calmly, and she nodded. "I have something that I've been wanting to say for awhile."
"And that is?" Hermione asked hesitantly, expecting detention. Professor Sanpe stepped closer and kissed her on the lips. Hermione stumbled away, and fell on her bum.
Kneeling next to her, Snape leaned close and whispered, "I love you."
