Hermione Granger whipped out her wand as the lights came on and multitudes of people shouted Happy Birthday!!
She stared in disbelief at the balloons and brightly coloured streamers around her and promptly burst into tears.
Strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist, and callused hands stroked her back.
What's wrong, love, don't you like it? Severus asked, his silky voice low.
Severus Snape, you are unbelievable, she replied, sniffling
His mouth followed the trail of her tears from her cheeks down to her lips, and as he kissed her he realised just how lucky he was to have her.
