Anyways, I will try to update faster. It's just with school starting and its so stressful. Holy mom! We ALREADY have homework! And we check out all our books at the same time. Do you know how heavy those books are?! Ugh and there was such a long line. Then I went to my locker and I started to cry and then I laid down and died. *insert violin music*

*Ahem* Sorry about that. So, yeah! Here's the next chapter and I will try as hard as I can to update faster. Promise!

"You know, I'm not even sure what we did." said Ron. Him and Harry were still confused about the fight earlier with Hermione.

"Girls." Harry said. "Probably that time of the month."

"True."

The two boys sat outside, staring into space, being confused. They hadn't gotten in a fight with Hermione since 3rd year. But, that was her fault. Even though she was just being a good friend and looking out for Harry and she thinks of her best friends' safety before sports!! God, those two could be such...guys!! (A/N: Sorry, it's just always bothered me.)

"Maybe we should apologize." said Ron.

"Yeah, she is our best friend." Harry agreed. "And now your girlfriend."

"So should we do it now?" Ron asked.

"No. We have to let them have their time by themselves. You know how girls are." Harry said.

Ron nodded.

"So, when do we go talk to her?" asked Ron.

"I dunno, she's your girlfriend!" said Harry.

"Well, it's I still don't understand her!" Ron said, making it sound so obvious.

Harry sighed. "Yeah, you're right."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, back in the common room, Hermione sat thinking. What had just happened? Was she imagining Snape back to normal or was it real? Hermione sighed. He was such a hipocrit! Maybe he was just acting like that because they were in the hallway with a lot of people. Who knows.

Hermione looked at her watch. Ten after six. "Crap. Dinner already." Hermione sighed and reluctantly left the common room. She walked into the Great Hall and was looking for a place to sit when she saw four hands waving frantically and two boys calling her name. They were Harry and Ron. She smiled at how good of friends she had and went to sit by them. They both greeted her warmly, gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"We're sorry Hermione." said Harry.

"Yeah, we didn't mean to make you mad." Ron said, putting an arm around her.

"It's okay you guys. I'm just a little stressed." Hermione told them. "I shouldn't have gotten that mad."

"So anyway, now that that's over..." Harry said, smiling. They all laughed. It was so good to have friends like them.

The trio sat down. Ron grabbed a huge piece of chicken and took a bite out of it. Hermione laughed and took a piece herself. As the boys started talking about Quidditch, she got to thinking. Last night, Snape told her to get out, but he didn't remind her to come back tonight. But, he was being very nice to her in the corridor. Hmm, maybe she should skip tonight and see what happens. What is he going to do? Give her a bad grade? She didn't really care about grades right now, if you can believe it. All she cared about what getting away from Professor Snape.

So after dinner, she went back to the Common Room with Harry, Ron, and all of her other friends. They were talking and playing a very interesting game. It was sort of like charades, only for students and teachers. It was all going very well, until McGonnagal came up to her.

"Ms. Granger, Professor Snape would like to see you in his office." Hermione just nodded. When she got out in the corridor, she threw a little fit because she did NOT want to see Professor Snape today. She WANTED him to leave her ALONE!

~*~*~*~*~*~

'Why did you make me call her up here?'

'Because, the girl!'

'But she's had enough!'

'I call the rules here! You just stand by and let it happen!'

'No! This girl is a very intelligent girl and I wont let this happen! Go away!'

'I can't go away, Sevvie (A/N: Sevvie! Haha! *ahem* sorry). I am you.'

Severus covered his ears and and bent down on his knees. "NO YOU AREN'T! GET OUT OF MY MIND!"

'Severus, I'm not the only one that can hear you. People will think you're crazy.'

"I DON'T CARE! LEAVE ME ALONE! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione stood at the door, and was just about to knock when she heard something peculiar. It sounded like Professor Snape- no it WAS Professor Snape!

"I DON'T CARE! LEAVE ME ALONE! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

She was just about to turn and leave, when she heard something else.

"PLEASE! GO AWAY! GET OUT OF MY MIND!"

'What the fuzzy is he doing?' She decided to be brave and knock on the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Professor Snape's head snapped up. A knock at the door.

'Well, it's time Severus.' the voice told him.

He shook his head frantically. "No…please...Don't...not again..."

'You know I have to. Let's go...'

~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione jumped when the door abruptly opened. Professor Snape stood in front of her, face stern, back straight.

"Ms. Granger. Come in." Snape said. When Hermione stepped in, she heard the door close as fast as it had opened.

"So, um, Professor McGonnagal said you needed me. What did you want?" Hermione asked.

Professor Snape walked to the front of the room, stood by a desk, and pointed to it. "Sit."

Hermione controlled her anger, as she hated how he was basically treating her like a dog. She did as she was told, but with a constant glare on her face. Snape kneeled down until he was face to face with Hermione. She looked down. It was hard to look at him. He smirked and lifted her chin up, but her eyes did not look at him.

"I should not have to remind you to come here." said Snape.

"But last night," she tried to ignore his fingers moving uncomfortable under her chin, "Last night, you said get out. And I- I didn't know if.." her voice trailed off. She was getting drowzy...

Severus smiled as he saw her face relax and her eyes flutter to stay open.

"I told you," he said, "I should not have to remind you. You should automatically know."

Hermione started - or tried, rather - to say something, but she couldn't get it out. When Snape's hand left her chin, her head almost fell over. Hermione leaned back, and closed her eyes. Severus stood up straight and watched her.

"Hermione..."

'Oh no…no, no, no. He's playing that game again...' Hermione thought.

"Hermione."

She looked up at him through bleary eyes and he grinned.

"Say my name."

"Severus" she said.

"Get up." Hermione got to her feet, stumbling a little. Snape walked behind her and but his hands on her shoulders. He had a firm, but not uncomfortable grip. Suddenly, she felt his whispers in her ear. "Say it again."

"Se-Severus..." Hermione said. She could barely get anything out. His hands slid down to her elbows.

"Again."

"Severus."

His hands slid down farther until his hands were on her hips. His whisper rang through her ears. "Say my name again, Hermione."

"Severus." Hermione didn't know what to do. Part of her was saying 'Get away from him! Now!' and the other part was saying 'Stay! He'll kill you if you do anything!'

Hermione felt the feeling come back, only it was stronger. She stumbled and almost fell, but Snape's grip was too tight, so she found herself pretty much leaning against him. Hermione felt lips on her neck, and the feeling was too much for her. She moaned, wanting to get out of this place as fast as possible.

Suddenly, Snape's and Hermione's heads snapped up. The feeling was gone, and so were Snape's hands from her hips.

"Hermione, leave. Now." Severus said, quickly.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"JUST GO! QUICKLY!" he yelled. Hermione didn't know what was going on, but she didn't need telling twice. She dashed out of the room, but right before she left, she heard Snape fall to the floor, muttering something.

When she got out into the corridor, she leaned against the wall, sliding down. Her face was in her hands, and she heard someone coming. She didn't know who it was, but for some reason, she thought because she couldn't see them, they couldn't see her. But, they could see her. Whoever it was kneeled down and put their hand on her shoulder.

It was Draco. She knew it at once, because he was covered in that scent he always had. She took her face out of her hands and looked at Draco, who smiled sympathetically. She hugged him, and held him tightly. He hugged her back, talking to her soothingly.

"Shhh...It's okay...it's okay...it'll be over soon...don't worry...it's okay..." Finally, after it seemed like hours, they broke apart and their faces were dangerously close. Draco couldn't help it, he brushed his lips across hers. She liked it, but she pushed him away, softly.

"I'm sorry, I- I can't. I have Ron...I'm sorry-" Draco shushed her with his hands.

"It's alright, I understand. I'm sorry, I-I don't know what happened." he said. Hermione smiled. "You have so much going on right now, you don't need cheating on your boyfriend added to the list." They stood up together and hugged.

"Thanks, Draco. I'll see you tomorrow." she kissed his cheek before leaving and Draco watched her until she disappeared in the darkness.

Draco touched his cheek. "If only I had been first..." with that, he turned and walked toward the Common Room.
