Hermione brushed the soot from the fire off her robes, and looked up to find herself face to face with Severus. He looked angry, though she didn't know why, because he couldn't possibly know what had just happened back at the burrow, could he? she gave a smile that wasn't returned, causing an edgy feeling to reside in the pit of her stomach.
"Severus, you look upset. What's wrong?" Hermione questioned him, slicing the silence with a knife, but the tension wasn't released.
"I've been waiting for you all day. I was worried. Where have you been?" Snape responded, quite coldly, or so Hermione felt, picking up on the icy tones in her voice, the ones that she remembered from school, when he had called her a 'know-all' and a showoff.
"At the burrow, with Ron, on business for Dumbledore." Hermione frowned. What was the big deal? He was mad because she had left Hogwarts?
"Is that why your lipstick is all smudged?" He turned from her, blood rushing to her face, a chill running down her spine.
"Oh...no, that was just me, when I was going through the floo network," Hermione shrugged it off, with a little laugh, but her heart was pounding with nervous anticipation.
"Don't lie to me!" Severus snarled at her, "I'm not a child, and I wasn't born yesterday! I saw you kiss him!" Hermione's heart stopped, there and then and she turned to face him.
"You saw?" she meant to ask, but it came out as nothing more than a whisper.
"Yes, I saw!" He growled, his face looking angrier by the second, facing terror in hers.
"But, if you saw, you would have seen him kiss me, not the other way round!" Hermione recalled suddenly. "He initiated it and you would have seen that, so why are you angry?"
Snape glowered, "Because you are still mine!"
"I'm not yours though!" Hermione's voice became high pitched and of a more audible volume, "I'm not a possession, something that you can buy, or not share as you wish. I'm a human, Severus, with feelings, and thoughts, and above all, friends! Friends that aren't just you, face it!" and with that, Hermione stormed out of the room, leaving Severus shocked, but aware he had made a big mistake.
Hermione tossed and turned in her bed, regretful of what she had said to Severus but she knew he fully deserved it. What exactly had happened at the burrow though? Hermione still wasn't sure. Was it just the hormonal imbalance of the reunion or repressed feelings? 'Please just let it be stupid feelings that go away, please!' she thought, looking a the grey, stone ceiling about her, cold and unwelcoming at the minute, but usually full of character, a sense of belonging. Hermione had never belonged less, to the room, the school, or to any specific person.
Back at the burrow, Ron cursed himself, Hermione, Harry and Snape all in turn. Himself, having kissed Hermione, and her for having triggered these feelings, Harry, because he caused this, and Snape for taking the woman that he wanted but couldn't have. Harry wanted them to work together but how could they now that this had happened?
"You're such a fool, Weasley. You could have held back, but no, you had to go and kiss her, didn't you? You brought this on yourself!" He muttered, kicking himself. He didn't notice his younger sister at the door, smiling sadly, having only realised his feelings, that she had been taken by a man that he hated.
