Disclaimer: I'm not gonna do these anymore, JK doesn't care, I don't own
Harry Potter. We're good, right? And if its really so necessary, look at
the first chapter.
A/N: Thank you to all of my reviewers, I love you all! Just to let ya know, yes, I do plan to destroy the ring. ;) And now for a complete change of events, the story.
"Oh stop groaning, it looks good." Hermione said as Severus emerged once again decked up in highly uncomfortable Muggle clothes.
"I'm sure it does. Let's just get some and go." He said acidly.
"Fine." Hermione said huffily.
As they left the mall Severus tried to get Hermione to talk to him, but she would not oblige.
Once they got back to her Grandmothers she dragged him up the stairs to her bedroom. As soon as she closed the door behind him she turned upon him.
"Don't you *dare* do that again. You embarrassed me in front of my entire family! Severus, I honestly thought I loved you for about a week. I just realized it's impossible to love you because you can be such an overly conceited bastard that I just want to-!" He interrupted her.
"Hermione. I swear, I'm sorry. It won't happen again. If you just give me another chance, I'll make it better. But if you don't want me here, I'll apparate as close to Hogwarts as I can immediately."
He began to leave as she hadn't said anything for nearly ten minutes.
"Stay, Severus." She said quietly, so quietly that he had to do a double take.
"What?" He asked, slightly skeptical.
"Stay." She said again, a normal volume this time.
"Thank god! I thought you were just going to let me walk out of here." He said, visibly relieved.
"Just! Don't do anything like that again." She said, warning creeping back into her voice.
"I won't. I have a question though," She cocked her head at him, "Do you still love me?" He asked hesitantly.
She paused again, "Yes . . ." She said slowly.
"Ok, now, what *are* we going to do with all these clothes, hmm?" He asked, a manic glint coming into his eyes.
"No, Severus." She said sternly.
"Damn. I thought I had you that time!" He said.
"I know. Come on, we have to go downstairs or Gran'll be wondering where we are." She said.
"And back into the pit we go!" Severus muttered under his breath as they walked down the stairs together.
"I heard that." Hermione whispered to him as they entered the kitchen.
It seemed that the Granger family had ideas of their own for that particular day, and they spent it swimming in one of those gloriously large public swimming pools.
They spent far to much time there, and, Hermione and Severus both came out thoroughly dunked, and exceedingly happy.
One van-trip later, they all found themselves back in the many- leveled house that belonged to elderly Mrs Granger.
"Severus." Hermione said suddenly, "You don't have to stay. You can go back to Hogwarts."
He looked completely shocked, "Hermione, the Dark Lord has captured you once, correct?" She nodded, obviously bewildered, "I would not risk giving him another chance to get his hands on you." He said.
"I'm glad you take that look on it." She said, looking around to make sure no one was watching, before wrapping her arms around his waist and placing a gentle kiss upon his lips.
"I love you Hermione." He whispered into her hair.
"I don't doubt that Severus. But I will always love you more." She said, the smile evident in her voice.
"Is that so? I think that I would love you more as you mean more to me then the world." He said, trying very hard not to smile, and not entirely succeeding.
"HERMIONE LYNN GRANGER! GET OUT OF HIS ARMS RIGHT NOW!"
Uh oh. Hermione thought, it seemed as though they had been spotted by one of her over protective Uncles.
"And you! If you so much as a one FINGER on my niece again, I will personally see to it that you are convicted for sexual harassment!" He yelled in Severus's direction.
"Hermione . . . Help!" Severus exclaimed as Uncle Stew came over and started threatening him more.
After about ten to twenty minutes of it, Severus got fed up and used a silencing charm. Hermione immediately cast the counter curse, freeing her Uncle from dead silence. Severus therefore cast Stupefy upon him and the Full Body Bind on Hermione. When he finally released them Hermione seemed ready to hex him into a million slimy pieces.
"I guess I will head back to Hogwarts then." He muttered, and moved towards the stairs.
Hermione followed him up.
He came to his door and walked inside, again, Hermione followed.
"What?" He finally snapped.
"Severus, do you think we are in a relationship?" She asked in a deathly quiet voice.
"I suppose so, why?" He said warily.
"Than you should be smart enough to tell that this is the end of it! It's over! I never want to see you again. Ever! Now go." She said, trying very hard to hold back tears, which came anyway.
"Hermione-."
"Go! NOW!" Hermione yelled at him, in a wonderful impersonation of Professor Severus Snape, Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He apparated immediately, leaving a sobbing Hermione behind him.

Hermione stayed at her grandmothers until very early July. She had received one owl from Severus containing part of the Muggle song, I'd do anything. It read like this:
Hermione, I know very well this is a Muggle song, but, as it is your background, I figured it would fit in. Besides, they have a impeccable knack with hitting reality. Please read it.
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many thing were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
There, I've said what I needed to. I love you, Severus
She, in turn, sent him back Muggle lyrics. Hers read:
Severus, Since you started it, I will finish it. This is one of my recently acquired Muggle favorites, please read.
Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued
in a trap trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fucking hates me
trust
she fucking hates me
I hope you like it. I hate you, Hermione
He got the point quickly, and backed off. As the days went by she had urges to go back to the castle. She resisted them. Eventually though, she sank into a lonely depression.
Soon though, she would receive a letter that would change everything.
A/N: Ok. I know its kinda short. I've got the next chapter coming and it'll probably be up soon. Like ten minutes after this one. HAPPY NEW YEAR By the way. It's kinda two in the morning here, but I'm still typing. Lol. I'll update soon. And don't worry, I've got it all planned. ::Taps fingers together evilly and grins just as evilly.;)::
