Chapter 4
********
Snape and Hermione walked up to Gryffindor in silence. Both were pensively thinking about that happened in the dungeon. Hermione was confused, but not ashamed of what she had done. There was something that she felt when with Snape, something she couldnt describe, something that she had never felt before.
Hermione wanted to hold his hand, but it was tucked tightly at his side. Hmph, she thought. She looked over at him, and his dark hair was in his face. All she could see was the tip of his nose. When they finally arrived at Gryffindor, Hermione said the password. She said goodbye and was about to leave, when Snape pulled her from the back, and turned her to face him, and without pausing he pressed his lips to hers. She melted in his arms, as he ran his hands through her hair. As quickly as he had embraced her, he let go. Hermione was reluctant at this, but she let him. 'Ill see you in Potions, Hermione Granger,' Snape said as he turned and walked away. The sound of him using her first name startled her, but she liked it. 'Same to you, Severus,' Hermione called, and he turned around, but the look on his face wasnt unhappy; Hermione thought she could see a hint of a smile. She smiled brightly, and went into her dorm.
'Why are you so late! You missed dinner!' said Lily, sitting at the couch infront of a blazing fire. Hermione went and sat down next to her, her body sinking in the overstuffed couch. She couldnt help smiling. Lily had a suspicious look on her face.
'YOU WERE WITH SEVERUS! I KNEW IT!' Lily laughed and she hugged Hermione tightly. Hermione laughed too.
'Yes, I was with him. He showed me something, but thats not important. Lily, I really like him, alot. I dont know why. But I must tell you something. You wont believe me, but I must tell you,' Hermione started to say. Lily nodded, urging her to go on.
'I-Im from the year 2001. Dumbledore brought me here to 1973, thats why I looked at you so funny that time. Its because I really had never seen you. Except in pictures,' Hermione said. Lilys look was confused.
'But you came here a day before that,' Lily said. Hermione nodded. 'You saw me the day before, when you first came here a day before.'
'That was all Dumbledores doing. He must have put a remember spell on me, so I would forget about that. But do you believe me? Even ask Dumbledore,' Hermione said, hoping Lily would believe. Lily smiled widely.
'Thats wicked! So, you must know my future, and my future with James!' Lily said, holding onto Hermiones hands.
'Yes, but that I can not tell you. Let me just say that I saw your picture from my best friend, Harry Potter,' Hermione said, trying not to say anything about Voldemort and all of that. Lily looked ecstatic.
'Also, Lily, theres something else. Snape-er-Severus I know from the future. He is my Potions teacher here,' Hermione said nervously. Lily got wide eyed and her jaw dropped.
'Severus is your future Potions teacher, Hermione? Wicked! I bet it was a shock for you to see him now, rather, in the past, when hes your age!' Lily said, and Hermione nodded.
'Yes, I know. But hes alot better looking than I expected him to be. Alot better. But I know Dumbledore brought me back for some reason, and maybe it was to make Severus happy,' Hermione said, and looked into the fire.
'I see what you mean. That is probably why. Is Severus really that bad in the future?' Lily asked.
'Yes! He is rotten, mean, critisizing, all of it. He seems very lonely and reserved. Maybe Dumbledore thought he could use a lift, and I was the perfect one for the job,' Hermione said, shrugging. 'But, I am more than willing to do anything that involves Severus!' The girls laughed. Lily sighed.
'I have to go to sleep, Hermione. Ive got to get up early,' Lily said as she got up and left. Hermione nodded, and yawned, and followed into her own dorm to sleep.
