Hey, I eventually got another chapter up. I'm sorry it's not longer, I've
been inundated with coursework. I will update again soon hopefully.
Thanks to the three people who have already reviewed, I really appreciate
it (
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 2: A refreshing swim
A notice soon went around to all the pupils in the choir informing them of the newly proposed trip. Hermione was ecstatic; at last the choir was going to get a chance to perform properly in proper venues rather than at Hogwarts' feasts or in Hogsmeade.
Harry and Ron, although they were also in the choir, had not yet heard about the trip and so were mildly baffled to see Hermione so excited about anything other than work.
'Professor Snape's taking the choir to New York!' she yelled as she ran over to great them, 'We're going to New York!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Easter-New York
After many rehearsals and a long trip via portkey, they eventually arrived at the hotel. As it was a hot day and they had two hours to spare having already unpacked, Hermione, Ron and Harry headed for the hotel's luxury swimming pool.
Hermione was the first out of the changing rooms, and realised that they obviously weren't the first to think about swimming. At the far end of the swimming pool, moving gracefully just below the water was Professor Snape.
Her breath hitched in her throat as she caught sight of him. She never realised how much his billowing robes hid, for underneath them was a slender, well-toned body marred only by the criss-cross of white scars that covered his pale skin. His hair, which she had once thought greasy, now flowed through the water like silk blowing in a light breeze.
He reached the end and grabbed onto the side as he eventually came up for breath, having swum the length of the pool in one breath. He spun around and was about to start swimming again when he caught sight of Hermione.
Before either one of them had had the chance to say anything Harry and Ron came pelting in from the changing rooms, running past Hermione and bombing into the water, disturbing the near-still water into a myriad of splashes and ripples.
'10 points from Gryffindor' Snape yelled as Harry and Ron surfaced again, 'can't you read the sign, it says 'No bombing''. Any new feelings for Snape that Hermione may have had were squashed immediately as she was reminded of the Snape she knew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, now if you like the chapter then press that little button that says review to tell me, 'cause I'd love to hear from you as this is my first fic so I need a little encouragement. If you didn't like it then tell me too, and tell me how I could improve it. Please, pretty please!
