A/N: I hope the last chapter wasn't too dramatic for you! Oh well, R&R!
When Hermione got to the Dungeon, she saw Snape sitting on his desk, reading. She turned around, as quiet as she could so he wouldn't notice.
"Ms. Granger!" Snape yelled, "Sit." Hermione did as she was told, in the back of the room, "Closer Hermione," Snape said. Hermione walked to the front of the room and sat in the front row. Snape got off the desk and put his book down. He stood in front of Hermione but she didn't look up. She looked down at her desk.
Snape looked down at her, with an evil grin on his face. "Hermione," Snape said. Hermione closed her eyes real tight and still did not look up. He knelt down right in front of her and lifted her head up, "Hermione." Snape said again. She slowly opened her eyes as if scared of what she would see.
"Yes, Professor?" Hermione said, feeling the cold hand under her chin that would have felt so warm yesterday.
"There's not need to be scared Hermione," Snape said, softly.
"Well I already am," Hermione said. Snape chuckled softly.
"Stand up," Snape said. Hermione stood up. "Put your arms to your side." Snape walked around her, observing her. She stood straight up, but trembling. Hermione felt Snape's hands on her robe.
"Professor? What are you doing?" Hermione asked.
"Lift your hands up," Snape said. Hermione did as she was told. He lifted the robe up off her and threw it on the table. He continued to walk around her, but stopped when he was standing in front of her. "Take off your vest." he said. She did and she put it beside her robe.
"Professor, I'm not exactly sure what you're doing." Hermione stuttered.
"You don't need to know." Snape said, staring at her chest. Hermione noticed this and became very uncomfortable. Snape looked up and Hermione and started to circle her again. "Why have you stopped answering questions in my class, Hermione? No one else seems to know the answers except for Draco Malfoy." Hermione didn't say anything. She just looked straight ahead. "Hermione?"
"I don't know." Hermione said.
"You're scared of me now?" Snape grabbed her waist from behind her and Hermione gasped. "Come back tomorrow at the same time. I mean it." said Snape. Hermione nodded, but Snape didn't let go. Hermione stood still wanting to get out of there until finally he let go. Hermione picked up her clothes hurriedly and ran out as fast as she could. When she got to the common room, she sat down at a table with Ron, Harry, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Fred, George, and Lee.
"Hey Hermione!" Ron said.
"Hermione, why aren't you wearing your robe and vest?" Harry asked.
Hermione had completely forgotten to put her clothes back on!
"I-uh...I just took a shower and forgot to put my robe and vest on," Hermione said.
"But Hermione, your hair isn't wet," Ron said, feeling it.
"Yeah...because...I dried it." she told them. They just took that as an answer and left it alone. They didn't want to push her too far.
"I'm going to bed," Hermione stood up and grabbed her things. She kissed Harry on the cheek and then Ron, but stayed a little longer for his. "Good night."
Once Hermione had gotten out of ear shot, the boys all laughed at Ron.
"Good going Ron!" Fred said.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ron, blushing still.
"Oh come on! You know what we're talking about!" Seamus said.
"Yeah, you have liked Hermione since the first time you met." Harry said. Ron opened his mouth to object, but George spoke first.
"And you always get that look on your face when she comes around." said George. He imitated Ron.
"Just like when you fell for that girl, Tina, that turned out to be our cousin!" Fred laughed.
Ron banged his fist on the table, "YOU TWO SAID YOUD NEVER MENTION THAT AGAIN!" This just made the boys laugh harder.
"So, do you admit it?" asked Seamus, raising an eyebrow.
"Admit what?" Ron asked, innocently.
"Liking Hermione!" Harry said.
Ron looked at all the boys' eager faces and sighed. "Fine." he said, "I like her." The boys laughed and cheered.
