Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns everything and everyone. I am so sorry that I couldn't write chapter 5 sooner, but I had a french student and my aunt's staying with us for 6 weeks. So Sorry. I love writing these stories and I love to hear what you think of my stories and let me know if I can make anything better. Enjoy!
"Snape can never stop our love. He still loves me!" Hermione said after decoding a letter from Alden.
"Maybe you should try and talk to Snape" Harry suggested.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Snape probably just wants what's best for Alden and Snape does think that I'm a know-it-all mudblood" Hermione said sadly.
Both Ron and Harry winced at Hermione calling herself a mudblood. "Your NOT a mudblood, Hermione!" Ron stated.
"You're a great person, Hermione" Harry said.
"Yeah, ok. We'd better get going to class, though." Hermione said.
"Ok" Ron and Harry said in unison.
When they stepped into Potions class, Snape was quietly sitting at his desk and Alden was nowhere in sight, but there was a slight scratching of a quill sound coming from behind Snape's closed office door and Hermione knew that Alden was behind that door.
Before Snape started the lesson, he went into his office and had a little chat with Alden before they both came out for today's lesson. "You can rejoin your class today, but you'd better behave, son. And, I'm assigning you a partner, Parvarti Patil. Now, come" Snape said to Alden.
Snape and Alden returned from the office and Alden took a seat next to his new partner, Parvarti. He sat down with a thud and leaned back in his chair to a comfortable position which looked quite cool. A sneer appeared on his shadowed, dark face as he looked at his father. Then, he chanced a quick glance at Hermione.
Hermione suddenly felt like there were eyes on her so she looked around with her eyes and spotted Alden staring at her, so she smiled at him and he winked back at her.
After Snape explained the lesson for today, the student broke off to go to work on their luck potions. Alden and Hermione were on opposite sides of the dungeon and Hermione was working with Lavender Brown.
After about 5 minutes, Alden dung into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment and his wand. He pointed his wand at the paper and whispered " Wingardium Leviosa" and the paper floated swiftly about an inch above the ground underneath the desks and flew straight up Hermione's cloak and into her pocket. Alden turned around and started tying his shoes and then got back to work.
Hermione was mixing her potion quite carefully because she was hoping that she could get lucky with the luck potion. She suddenly got an itch on her leg because it felt like a spider had just crawled up her leg. When she pulled her hand back, she felt that her pocket was full of some parchment. She pulled the contents out of her pocket and saw a crumpled piece of paper. She opened it and sighed with relief as she noticed it was from Alden.
Hermione,
I have to be quick, so I be vague. My plan is to talk to my father after class today and try and talk some sense into him. And, if that doesn't work, I'm writing to my mother. She'll understand, but she might embarrass me because when my older brother told my mother that he was in love with a girl, she thought it was 'cute'. I'd better stop before my father catches me.
Love,
Alden
Hermione felt warm inside with love for Alden and almost started giggling out loud when she read that his mother might embarrass him and that she thinks relationships are 'cute'. She turned around and looked at Alden.
Alden, having been mixing his potion at an angle, saw Hermione reading his letter and saw her turn around a smile at him and he smiled back her.
When class was nearing the end, Hermione and Alden started slowing down so that they would be the last ones in the dungeon. Snape noticed what they were doing and tryed ushering Hermione out of the dungeon, but Hermione started repeatedly yelling that she wanted to talk to him.
"Fine!" Snape snapped," Alden, Hermione, come into my office."
Alden and Hermione grinned at each other and entered Snape's office together. When they entered the dark office, Snape started pulling the two chairs that were in front of his desks to the opposite sides of his desk.
"Alden, that side, Hermione, over there. Now, sit." Snape directed them to each of their seats.
"Now, what is it you want to talk to me about?" Snape sneered.
Alden and Hermione's eyes met for a moment and then Alden spoke. "Well, we wanted to talk to you about us."
"I see" Snape said blankly.
"I wanted to let you know that your making me miserable by keeping us apart and that I would be very happy if you would let us be together. I understand that you only want the best for me, but making me happy is part of doing what's best for me. You love mother, don't you?" Alden explained.
"Of course I love her" Snape stated.
"Well, I love Hermione like you love mother. Can't I have someone to love too? I'm not a kid anymore"
"Of course your not a kid, but couldn't you love someone better?"
"BETTER?! She's perfect for me! We have love for each other and that's the imortant part. Plus, she's very clever, gifted, intelligent, sophisticated, responsible, fun, and beautiful. How much better can you get than that?"
"Well, ah, she has muggle parents"
"Muggles aren't primitive, you know"
"We know more things than they do, though. We're just better"
"We don't know how things work in their world and they don't know how things work in our world, so we're evenly good"
"They don't even know that we exist"
"They have what are called fantasies and fairytales"
"Well, they're not sure if our world is real or not. They don't have any proof of our world, but we know that their world real"
"Some muggles know about us like the Hermione's parents and there's probably other muggles that have a witch or wizard for a child"
"Alden, I have business to attend to, so I don't have time to argue with you. Your just not going to win, so I'm going to have to ask Hermione to leave"
"Yes, sir" Hermione said as she stood up and walked slowly out the door.
"Why can't you ever be nice?!" Alden yelled at his father as he stormed out of the door.
"Get back here, Alden! You must be escorted by me!" Snape said after him with no luck. Snape clinched his fists and went onto his work at his desk.
* * * * *
Alden caught up with Hermione and told her that he's going to write to his mother during lunch. "Will you come with me to the owlery after our afternoon classes?" Alden asked Hermione.
"Yeah"
"Great. I'll meet you in the entry hall after our classes"
* * * * *
When Alden's morning classes were over, he headed for the Great Hall to start writing a letter to his mother:
Dear Mother,
I have a problem. Father and I have been fighting because I'm in love with a sweet, smart, clever, responsible, beautiful girl and father doesn't want us to be together because he think's she's a know-it-all and she has muggle parents. Father has been making me miserable and all I want is to be with my Hermione. My grades haven't been so good since father started controlling my life and my grades were perfect when Hermione and I were together because she's taught me so much and has helped me to better manage time so that I get my homework done and have plenty of time for relaxation. I love her, mother. Please help me.
Love,
Alden
After Alden wrote his letter to his mother he put it a decorative envelope and planned to seal it later in his afternoon class of Divination because he knows that there are plenty of candles that he can use to seal his envelope with hot wax.
After his afternoon classes, he headed for the entry hall so that he could meet Hermione there. When he reached the entry hall, Hermione was already waiting for him since she had just come from herbology and he came from astronomy. When he came up to Hermione, he took her hand and kissed her on the cheek. After, they went to mail his letter to his mother hoping that his mother would resolve this problem.
SecretRose: I am so sorry that I haven't had time to write the fifth chapter sooner, but I have time now and I'm going to get started on chapter 6. Please review and please let me know what you think or what I can improve.
