Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I don't own Harry Potter, if did I would hire Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Tom Felton, the younger version of Harrison Ford, and Christian Coulson as my personal "slaves".

~Chapter 1: God Damn Albus~

"Staff, we will be having a Christmas, Chanukah, Ramadan, Kwanza, and etc. ball! The teachers must go with a student as a little joke!" Albus chuckled to himself, but I found it hardly amusing, "Minerva you will have to go with the Head Boy, Draco Malfoy, and Severus you will have to go with Hermione Granger, the Head Girl!" Minerva looked at him, as if to say this was a bloody bullshit, or hopefully. I, myself had a look of pure horror and disgust upon my face, God damn Albus!

"But Albus, you must be joking, right?!?"

"Severus, my dear boy, I am not. Does that bother you?" His eyes were twinkling behind his half-moon glasses.
"No... not at t'all." I said through gritted teeth. I rose to walk out of the staff room, without being excused. My silky black hair moving violently. I have to go with a fucking bloody mudblood! Why the hell do I? Why can't Minerva???

"That is all. I can not wait until Sunday, as should you! You may go!" I wasn't listening; my thoughts were too focused on the fact I had to go with a bloody know-it-all.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, Severus, but we can go now..." Minerva said rather sharply. I just replied by cursing under my breath. "Sorry, Severus, I didn't catch that."

"Grrrr..."

"Now you're beginning to sound like Sirius Black! I will not tolerate you stupid behavior with Hermione! If you do anything to her, I won't wait one bloody day to blast you to smithereens!

"Yes, Minerva. Whatever you say..."

"You weren't listening to me! What did I say?" My patience was thin and about to snap. I just wanted to strangle everyone and especially Minerva and Albus.

"I do not have time to play such foolish games... GET OUT OF MY WAY MINERVA!!!!!" She looked rather offended, but knew better. Minerva quickly got out of my way. Everyone who annoyed me usually did not stand a chance against my rage.

"Yes, 'your highness'" Her voice was dripping with sarcasm. I just rolled my eyes and passed her. Later that day Dumbledore announced the 'thrilling' news.

~Regular POV~

"... and the teachers must go with a student," he chuckled to himself lightly, "The Head Girl must go with the Head Boy's Head of House and visa- versa!" Hermione' and Draco's jaws dropped simultaneously. It was a rather funny sight.

"WHAT?? WHY US???? ARRGHH!!!!" they said in unison, "You must be joking, sir?"

"No I am not," Dumbledore said matter-of-factly. Draco and Hermione's eyes widened at this comment and sat down with an attitude. "Tuck in!" The golden plates filled with food right before their sight. Severus looked grudgingly at Dumbledore and then at Hermione. Minerva was looking more up tight also. Dumbledore on the other hand was quite amused.

"I'm so sorry, Herm!" Harry said sympathetically, yet sarcastically, "You have to go with a greasy old git, while Ron and I get our pick of hot students from the -whole entire- student body! So sorry!"

"Whatever... this really sucks!" Hermione got up and slammed down her fork. Both students and staff were staring at her. She stormed out of the gigantic doorway, slamming them as she left. Everyone knew where she was going, the library. She spent all her time there.

Draco couldn't take the taunting from his peers also, so he strutted snobbishly out the hall. Instead of the library he went to the kitchens to snag a few desserts before going to the Slytherin common room. Meanwhile Hermione was reading a book, a few tears rolling down her smooth cheek. She did not want to go with Snape, he would just make her life more of a living hell than it usually was. She heard footsteps coming closer towards her, she just ignored them and kept on reading. A silky, sinister, yet sexy voice intruded on her thoughts.

"I'm sorry that you have to go with me, Miss Granger, but it is just another one of Professor Dumbledore's twisted plans. He had means of getting you and me 'together', in a weird sort of way. I am sure he didn't want Professor McGonagall to be with Malfoy, just you and me. You will still have to call me sir..."

He stopped abruptly when he saw Hermione's face. It was tear soaked. It was round and mature. Her eye's sparkled in a suggestive way that made Severus felt a tightness in his "netherlands". Her lips were full and naturally red. He began to lean towards her. He brushed his lips against hers, sending jolts of electricity down her spine. He then leaned in to intensify the kiss. He suddenly realized what he was doing. He was KISSING a STUDENT! He got up and ran, robes billowing after him. He left a rather unhappy Hermione.

SS/HG... one of my favorites to read. So unSnape-like! Him running away! Tut tut!
