Dear Readers-
I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed yet again, because you all kick major ass. :)
Anywho, I uploaded Chapter 7...And this will be chapter eight!
Chapter 8
Hermione had felt that a great load had been lifted off her chest and spent the rest of the day packing up her things from her room. By the end she had a neatly, but heavy, trunk that she needed to take down to her and Severus' room. She said a few spells and had a smaller version of her trunk that she could carry in her pocket.
She left Gryffindor Tower without much hassle. Most students were out at the Quidditch pitch for the Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw game.
Hermione quickly walked down to the dugeons and waited for Professor Snape, "Correction," she thought, "my husband," to come back to his office.
Snape, on the other hand, was waiting for her to leave his office. He knew that he should go out, ask about whatever she wanted, and just get rid of her. He should. But he wasn't. Not until she was gone.
Hermione wasn't sure how long she had been sitting and waiting, but she was getting sleepy and wasn't sure if she'd be able to stay awake any longer. She knew that Severus wasn't at the Quidditch game. She had heard Slytherins coming down the hall, and it had been quite awhile since then. She then decided to let go and sleep. He'd have to come out sooner or later.
Severus had started to read some piece in the Daily Prophet when he went to see if his wife was still in his office. That she was, but Hermione was asleep. Severus, then, went back to his article, but found he wasn't as able to concentrate.
Right, then, as if Dumbledore knew he needed to talk to someone, Albus appeared in Severus' fireplace.
"Severus, dear friend. Some of the Gryffindor's are wondering about Hermione's disappearance."
"And you were wondering if I knew anything about it. Yes, I do. She is out in my office asleep," he said without even thinking about it.
"Ah. Now, what else is on your mind?"
"I've been a horrible bastard most of my life. To almost every person I've met."
"Not horrible, just unfriendly. Unsure of what they are."
"Albus, just let me finish. I need to say this all at once, or I won't make it."
"Certainly, Severus, continue."
"I've never found a love. I've never even known someone I could count on as a friend. Not even through schooling at Hogwarts. Now, I've got someone who may not be a willing friend, but could be a friend. And I'm pushing her away. I watched her sleeping peacefully several minutes ago and realized that I could be married to something much worse. I could be stuck for the rest of my life with an over weight, ignoramus, french whore. I'm not trying to go spiritiual, or change on anyone here. But I think I should let her in."
"Into your rooms? Or into your heart? This is something you need to ponder Severus. And this is where I will leave you." With that, Albus disappeared from the fireplace. And Severus went to let her in.
