'KNOCK KNOCK'

"Mia dear, 7 o'clock on the dot, come in I just ordered dinner" Solana said happily

"Hi Solana are you sure professor Snape doesn't mind be being here?"

Solana was about to answer when a voice cut in

"It wasn't like I got much choice on the matter, but no Miss Granger I do not mind, it is just for a night"

"Well dear brother it is just for a night, that is until you get together or Married"

Hermione blushed and the Potion Master suddenly had a dreadful cold, Solana rolled her eyes at the both.

"Look dinner is here" Solana said to take the couple out of there misery.

..............................

Hermione was nervous, Solana had been called away some where for a few minutes leaving her all alone with the potion Master, maybe the word nervous was to simple for what she was feeling.

Severus was uncomfortable, what the hell did Solana think she was doing leaving him alone with the know-it-all, he didn't know what to think of Miss Granger, all he knew was the feeling he was feeling for her, were making him feel uncomfortable.

"Hermione" Hermione Granger said to the silent Potion Master

"Yes Miss Granger that's your name" he was looking at her like she was crazy

"I know that" she said annoyed "but please call me Hermione, Miss Granger start to sound annoying after a while"

"Fine"

Silence surrounds them until,

"Severus"

"What?"

"Miss-Hermione you may call me Severus"

"Okay -Sev-Severus-"

The room for the second time was silent until,

"When will we get back to the potion -Severus-?"

"Am not sure -Hermione- but now is not the right time to start again, maybe in a few days?"

"That's all right with me, you, you're the main teacher, I mean it is your project first"

"Yes -Hermione- your right on that account"

Once again the room was silent until,

"Hermione save me a dance"

Hermione head shot up like a bang

"Su-re Severus I would be honoured"

The male in question snorted, the female rolled her eyes

"MIA, SLEEPLY TIME NO BAGS TOMORROW!" Solana bounced happily into the room, and at the slight of them stopped suddenly

"Man the sexual tension radiating off you two" pause "What -are- you doing?"

"Nothing Solana. Talking. Now your right we don't want bags under our eyes tomorrow, sleep time, good night Severus"

"Good night Hermione, Hermana"

You could hear Hermione and Solana footsteps going down the hall way too her room, then a voice could be heard

"Hermione, Severus, what -have- you -two- been -doing-"

Severus shook his head

.............................. The girls had as soon as they woke up began upon getting ready, Hermione was sure they didn't need the long but Solana had replied 'A high class girl always takes a day to get ready, and anyway you want to look good for -Severus-' one statement in the sentence made her be able to spend the whole day getting ready, who knows which one.

Severus didn't see either oh the girls until a few minutes before he was set to leave to go to the ball, he was waiting for them.

Solana was the one he saw. ..............................

"Sevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv you have to go now, me and Mia are going to make a grand entrance so no one and I mean no one can see what where wearing till we take off are capes, and anyway don't you want to be there on time?"

"My dear Hermana 'The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it'"

"Whatever Sev just go"

"Okay, okay I am going"

..............................

"Where are they?" Harry Potter demanded his girlfriend Ginny "Where's Mione, she should be here by now"

"Chill Harry, they will be here soon"

Ginny Weasley was getting sick of her boyfriend, he always seemed to be talking about Hermione, liked he wanted to go out with her, there was only so much she could take, and it wasn't much more.

Harry potter was annoyed the greasy git had come but without Hermione, which then again was probably a good thing, but he wanted Hermione, for more than one reason.

Ron Weasley didn't know what to think, he had liked Hermione practically forever, and he knew she didn't like him, but he hoped that within time she might change her mind, but know that it seemed she wouldn't and even more that Harry seemed to like her, he just didn't know what to think.

..............................

"Ready Mia"

"Sure Solana"

'The doors to the great hall opened, and they entered'

Everyone looked at them, Solana knew that she was beautiful, Hermione felt beautiful; there was a difference, but not much.

There capes danced lightly along the ground, two pops in front of them showed house elves waiting for there capes.

Solana untied her and let it fall to the ground for a house elf to pick up.

There were gasps from the men and women of the room when they saw her dress.

Severus narrowed his eyes at the dress and the men staring at it.

Hermione slowly took off her cape but gave it nicely to the awaiting house elf, the reaction she got from everyone was the same, except Severus, he quickly sat down, legs under table, and hoped no one noticed.

Only one did, the old man smirked, and his eyes twinkled ..............................

It was nearing midnight and the ball was coming to an end and Severus Snape walked across the dance floor to claim Hermione Granger in the last dance, but there first.

"Hermione would you give me the honor of this dance"

"Sure" The men surrounding who had been asking for the last dance, including Harry and Ron frowned

The music started,

'Its one thing to ask

why do we break up

have you ever

or wondered why it is we fall in love

can you tell me

do you know what it is you're looking for

why do we need

can you tell me why I care

how is it that we heed that voice that says

I want you there

'Severus hands tightened on her waist, and Hermione arms tightened around his neck'

thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

and thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

'Hermione looked at him, her eyes begging him to meet her eyes to see inside them'

in a single moment you might be perfect

and see in a window of my life

but how much

how much more would I get to see

what would I strive to hide

now there will be no compromise

so take it in your stride

I believe you love with a smile

'He meet her eyes, and was shocked at what lay in them, and even more shocked when he realized that his own eyes returned the same thing'

thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

and thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

'Hermione gasped, the look in his eye it reflected her own, like, no love, was it possible'

Look into my eyes

eyes there's no loves sacrifice

for it has helped us to grow

and am sorry I know just how far I have to go along

'There eyes had meet now there lips nearly were, just a little bit closer'

thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

and thanks you've been fuel for thought

now am more lonely than before

but that's okay I've just really made another stupid love song

'The whole hall was staring at them, they didn't notice, there lips were closer, they meet'

I've just really made another love song

just really made another love song'

'THUMP'

Severus neck snapped back at the force of the punch Harry Potter had just given him, his wand was out in a second, and the next second there was a frog on the floor.

Severus grabbed Hermione room and they exited the room, they went down to his chambers, they needed to talk. ..............................

..............................

What Sev changed Harry into isn't important it was just the first thing that came to my mind after peacock, frog seemed better.

Okay you should know I am not trying to make a likeable OC am just trying to make an OC that helps there relationship

The song is called 'Love song' by 'Amiel' it's great.

*SPOILER* Honestly I think there moving to fast, but I hate those stories where, Sev doesn't think he's good enough, so who know but I do think it's moving to fast, but I'll give you a spoiler, although Hermione thought she saw love in Sev eyes she only saw like, he's attracted to her but doesn't yet love her, she does however love him, but not much through, I think Hermione would be faster to fall in love, but she also is because now her family is gone is wants someone, and Severus doesn't seem the type to fall in love over a couple weeks, no he'll take longer

Okay so I realized the addresses for the 'dresses' didn't come out last time, so this time I am hoping they will, but mostly I really want you people to see Severus's mothers wedding dress.
