Severus walked up to Hermione's room and knocked softly

on the door. Without waiting for her to answer he turned

the knob and pushed the door open.

He started to say that he had her book, until she turned

around and he got a proper look at her. He felt the scowl

leave his pale face as he saw what she was wearing. Her

hair which had been mousy and frizzy was smooth, shiney

and curled down her back. By the looks of it she had only

just removed her red robe and beneath it she wore a thin

green cotton nightgown with thin straps of grey. Taking a

quick survey of the room it was obvious that she hadn't

changed the Slytherin colors as he suspected she would

have already done.

Hermione raised an eyebrow at him and he came out of his

stupor immediatley. "Your book was dropped when your

stuff was moved in." he said pointedly, dropping the book

on a nearby trunk. He turned and left, shutting the door

a bit too hard behind him.

"Ooookay," Hermione shrugged and continued climbing into

bed. She pulled the Slytherin blanket around herself, called a

spell to extinguish her lights and fell fast asleep.

Severus was pacing in his room.

"What the hell are you thinking? She is a student. You aren't

allowed to think that!" he growled at himself.

//Not just a student,\\ his mind countered. //She is your wife.\\

"No. She is a student that was tricked into becoming that. She

didn't do it of her own free will." he growled back.

//Just give it up Sevvie ol' boy. You know you thought she

looked sexy in your House colors. Admit it.\\ his brain teased.

"No." Severus bit back. "I refuse to accept what my mother has

done. It was wrong of her to force me together with a student."

//Do you think you could have gotten such a beautiful maiden on

your own? Come on, admit it. She was so hot standing there in

that thin green night dress. Why, you could even see how... cold

she must have been in it. And her hair, did you see how it shone!

Didn't you want to touch her?\\ his mind taunted him.

Severus' nostrils flared as he willed himself not to think of

Hermione in that nightgown. It was useless. He couldn't help it.

He knew that everything his mind was telling him was the truth,

since it was his own brain telling him so.

The Potions Master stripped down to his underwear and climbed

into his huge, empty bed. What would it be like to have that bed

filled with a beautiful, intellegent brown haired girl? No! He may

think that she was all those things, but she couldn't share his

bed. Then his mother would win. He loved his mother, but he

just couldn't be with a student. It wasn't *right*.

He fell asleep thinking to himself, "Flobberworms, flobberworms,"

over and over again.

(a/n: kinda like "think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts!")

-----

Hermione awoke slowly and opened her eyes. She stared at the

unfamiliar ceiling in panic. //Where am I?\\ she bolted upright.

//Oh. Right. I am in my... husbands chambers now.\\

Hermione picked up her wand, "Accio Diary." The muggle-styled book

zipped through the air and landed on her lap. She put her wand down

and grabbed a muggle pen from her nightstand.

Dear Diary, something horrible happened yesterday. Snape's mother

came to me with a parchment that she said was from Dumbledore

about my new room. She said that I had to sign it so I was able to have

the room. I signed it right away of course. Without reading it. I

am too trusting I think. Turns out, it was a *marriage contract*!

Can you believe it?! Now, I am *married* to Professor Snape. Legally!

For one year!! As if that isn't bad enough, we can't just live like

we were before and pretend we aren't married... His mother put a

clause in the contract saying that we *have* to live together. And

worse... we *have* to do everything in our power to try to produce

a grandchild for that... that monster!

I don't want to have sex with my Professor! Ugh, he is like... thirty-

seven years old! Almost twenty years older than me! This isn't FAIR!

I don't want to lose my virginity to him.

I have to get ready to go to breakfast, so I had better stop writing

now. Hermione... is it Snape now? *shudders*

Hermione closed the book and put it and the pen on her nightstand. She

got up and foregoing a shower this morning, dressed in her uniform. She

sat at her mirror and carefully brushed her hair. Deciding to tie at least

some of it back, she reached for a small wind up jewelery music box that

her grandmother had gotten her for her birthday many years ago.

She tied back the upper portion of her hair with a silver spring clip

that had a blue and green rhinestone dragonfly on it. She pulled two

small locks of hair from the clip near her ears and another from above her

right temple. There. That looked better.

Then Hermione slipped into her polished black shoes, picked up her black

book bag and headed to breakfast.

Fweee :D I tried to post this last night... but something weird happend

to my phoneline. All of a sudden, my custom AOL sound goes "good, go

away, get lost". That is the 'log off' sound. I was like, "huh?" I flipped back

over to the AOL window (I always use IE) and clicked 'sign back on'...

It reported that the modem couldn't detect a dial tone. Strange. I am the

only one home!

I picked up the phone in my room and all I heard was this staticy fuzz.

I went into the living room and picked up the other phone. There was nothing.

Ok, so I went outside and looked at the part of the wall where the phoneline

enters the house. It appeared that the phoneline that went to our half of the

house (we are in a duplex) was snipped! All our little wires except one!

I thought right away that the neighbours had done it cause they are stupid

jerks that don't like us... For no reason. Heh, they are the ones that make

constant noise, do drugs and we suspect the girls that come over are the few

hookers we have in these parts... Cause... why else would they come over? just

for drugs and money I think. Anyhoo, I was gonna wait for my roomates to come

home and show them what the phone line looked like, but they were really late

and I ended up just going to bed. But when I picked up the phone this morning,

there was a dialtone. Ooookay... that is good though.

I still think they tried something because the line wasn't snipped the last

time I saw it.

Once again, thanks for the reviews!

Calliandra: She was already in her nightie, but I wanted to wait until this

chapter to mention it.
