And again, tears come to my eyes.
He takes my chin in his hand and raises my head so my eyes will meet his. "Why would someone as beautiful as you want to commit suicide?"
"I can't take all this pressure anymore. Being a muggle born, being counted on to do all my work and know everything, and what am I supposed to do when I get out of here. I don't know what to do, and the only solution I see is death."
"You can't do that Hermione. Not when so many love you."
"Like who?"
"Like me for instance."
I look him in the eye, searching for some sort of joke. I can't see anything, but I still don't believe him. I look away from him and let my tears spill out of my eyes.
He picks me up in his strong hands and carries me to a room with a queen-sized bed. The bed has dark green sheets and blankets on it. He lays me down on one side. He walks to the other side and takes off his black night robe. I watch him as he strippes down to just boxers. Then he climbes in bed next to me.
"Go to sleep Ms. Granger, and we will talk more in the morning." He whispers into my ear. He pulls a sheet over both of us.
I was kind of nervous that he would take advantage of me and start making out with me or something, but he was very understanding and just rolled over and let himself fall asleep, his beautiful hair falling over his face. I lay in bed and just watch his back heave up and down in a calm motion. He's so sexy in his boxers and bare skin.
This was the best. Sleeping in the same bed as Snape, his back towards me. You could see his muscles in his arms and back. Why had I never noticed his muscles before?
Those damn robes, I thought as I watched him exhale.
After about another half hour of watching him, my eyes fluttered shut and I drifted off into sweet dreams.
I was shaken awake by a pair of slender hands. My eyes sprang open and Snape was standing over me, still in his boxers.
"Get up Hermione. Get out of here." He says anxiously.
I hop out of his bed.
"I can't get dressed so quickly." I say. He points his wand at me and mutters something under his breath. I look down at myself and see that I am in my Hogwarts clothes and my hair is normal. He points the wand at himself and he is in his robes and his hair is the same as always.
"Now go!" he says.
I'm about to run out, but decide to stop and give him a kiss. I kiss him on the lips and speed out of the dungeons.
I enter the Great Hall to see Professor Dumbledore already sitting at the staff's table. He looksat me and summons me with his finger. I gulp as I walk up towards him.
Take it easy, I told myself. He doesn't know anything about last night.
"Yes sir?" I ask, standing in front of the staff table.
"I heard from a certain someone early this morning that you were roaming the school last night. Am I correct?"
At that moment Snape comes in through one of the back doors. He stops dead in his tracks and gives me a frightened expression.
Dumbledore turns to look at him. "Can I see you both in my office after breakfast?"
My knees feel as if they are going to give out. I nod and head back to the Gryffindor table.
