When morning came Hermione lay in Snape's arms. No light came into the room since there was no windows and Snape had little to worry about. When Hermione woke she found him watching her.

"Severus.." She smiled as he jumped slightly not knowing she had woken. He smiled down at her.

"Yes?" Hermione chuckled.

"I wanted to tell you something." Snape looked at her wondering and waiting. Hermione smiled. "I found a cure. Well, its not a full cure. But you wont thirst for blood and your aging will continue as it did before you changed. Even though it will start from where it is now you wont turn into an old man or anything the minute you take the potion, if you do. And you wont be weakened by anything vampires are or anything like that."

Snape could have cried. Just like always Hermione had shown him what she could do and he was grateful.

"I will take it, love." Hermione hopped out of the bed, not caring that she was nude. Rummaging in her bag she pulled a small vile from it. Walking back over she sat beside him.

"Here.." Snape took it from her and looked into her eyes.

"Thank you Hermione." With this he took the top off and downed it. Snape could feel the changes almost instantly. His body stayed the same, but he felt the thirst leave him and his aging process returned to normal.

Hermione watched and waited. When the change was over her looked up at her, his eyes normal as was he. Of coarse he still have fangs but that was to be expected. Every thing had stayed the same except that now he no longer had the thirst or any vampiric weaknesses.

"Hermione..it..it worked." She smiled and hugged him.

After a while both grew hungry and Hermione summoned some food. Snape ate more then he though he would, missing all the great foods of the human world. Soon it was dark again and both were laying in bed holding one another.

"Severus, stay here in the school. Become a teacher again." Hermione whispered against his chest and he smiled.

"I plan to. But what will you teach?" Hermione giggled.

"Transfiguration. I will become head of Gryffindor." Snape laughed.

"And I will return to my old job?" He laughed but stopped seeing Dumbledore.

"Actually that's what I had in mind. Miss Granger only guessed you would." Snape sat upright.

"Albus!" He looked pissed but then he leapt out of the bed and hugged him. "Its great to see you!" Hermione laughed as Snape retreated to hide himself under the covers looking embarrassed.

"Well..umm yes. Its good to see you as well Severus. I hope you will return to your old job. But I will leave you to alone. I didn't mean to intrude. But I needed to speak with Miss. Granger. It can wait till tomorrow though. Goodnight." With this he left and Hermione couldn't help but laugh.

"Honestly I was wondering what had gotten into you when you hugged him, considering that you are naked." Snape glared are her and tackled her down into the bed.

"Well, you are as well." He kissed her with a smile.

The night passed quickly and the day was fresh and new. Hermione sat at the desk in the potions class with Snape standing beside her waiting for everyone to come in.

"Good morning class" the class answered sleepily. "Ahh yes the normal I see." She chuckled. "Well, pretty soon you wont be so sleepy. I have someone to introduce you to. Everyone this is Professor Snape. He will now be your new Potions teacher. I am moving to another class room to teach Transfiguration."

The class looked horrified having heard of Snape from their parents. Snape only smirked as he watched them.

"Thank you Professor Granger. I can take it from here." Hermione headed for the door leaving. But she watched through it as Snape started teaching the class. He was himself again. And she was happy to have him back. He glanced her way and winked as he yelled at one of the students for making a mess. She only chuckled and headed for her new class and room.
