3:27 A.M.... Hermione Granger had just woken up from a nightmare that had featured her Potions teacher. 'Sort of scary to be dreaming about him' she said to herself.

In the nightmare... She was being chased around by huge spiders, and being deathly afraid of spiders, all she could do was scream and cry at the top of her lungs for help. All of the sudden, he burst in through the dungeon doors to say, "Arachnai Chivdias!" and the spiders disappeared. Snape came over to her assistance, and helped her up from the floor and gave her a heart of chocolate and told her to eat the chocolate. Hermione ate the chocolate and then Snape leaned down and touched his lips to hers.

Back to present time... 'Extremely scary to dream about him.' she stated again to herself. After efforts of trying to go back to sleep, Hermione just got up out of bed and went ahead and got ready for the day. As she showered all she could think about was Snape. 'I wonder what his hands feel like?' she thought silently. 'I can't beleive I just thought that. I'm in love with him!' she said silently. "Since the year is going to be over and I'm graduating in six days, I should tell him how I feel." She said to the mirror. Hermione decided to do just that.

Hermione took a very long time to get ready, making sure she looked perfect for him. She formulated her plan of telling him and maybe seducing him while she got ready. 'Okay. I'm going to tell him now. It's 4:34 in the morning, but I bet he is grading finals.'

After a long walk down to the Potions classroom Hermione stopped into bathroom to make sure that she looked as perfect as possible. She slowly opened the door and walked into the classroom. "Professor? Professor Snape? Are you in here sir?" She called out into the empty classroom. There was no answer. 'I wonder where he is?' she asked herself. Hermione saw a door that was slightly ajar. Being her curious self, she walked over to the door to open it, but it wouldn't open more than it already was. She tried a couple of spells to get it open, but none of them worked. Finally, she tried a very complex spell and tried again to push the door open more. The spell had worked, so she quietly stepped into the threshold of the room.

There lay Professor Severus Snape on his bed with a book in his hands, sleeping! 'He looks so much less defensive and mean while he's asleep.' She thought. She crept quietly into the room and looked at the sleeping form of him. Hermione picked the book up from his hands and looked at it. She turned the cover over to see the title. There was no title, so she opened the book and looked at the page he was on.

"May 6, 2001... I have to get over her. She'd never look at me any other way than as her professor. Gods, I'm in love with her. Her name makes my heart beat faster. Hermione. How I love her so," Hermione stopped reading and could do nothing but stare at him. 'OH GODS!!!' she screamed to herself, 'Professor Severus Snape is in love with me!' She replaced the journal and bolted out of the room.

Severus Snape woke up to the sound of boots clicking on the stone floor away from him and out the door. He looked down to see what he was holding in his hands and saw that the ink writing had been smuged by a fingerprint. It was not his fingerprint. 'Who has been down here? They read the journal! They probably know about my infatuation with Hermione Granger!' Snape yelled at himself. 'What am I going to do?' He thought.
