"Bloody Prat!" Hermione muttered as she walked into her office in the back of her classroom. It was Thursday. The eighteenth and tomorrow, Friday, she would be twenty-one. The 'bloody prat' she was referring to was Severus of course. The reason for this was because he had referred to her as Miss. Granger or Professor Granger whenever he had to be somewhat civil to her. They just had a staff meeting and Severus had told her to go grade papers because there was important matters to discuss. She was inducted to the order she didn't need to be kicked out of the room. 'Bloody hell, the over-grown bat needs to go run in with a banshee.' Starting to grade the papers, she realized she was in no mood for it.

Hermione walked towards her rooms, stopping on the third floor she was sort of heart-broken that the youngest Snape wasn't there to jump in her arms, and give her a little boost in the mood department. Hermione hadn't heard from her friends since their last meeting, and was feeling extremely aggravated with receiving no owls. Hermione changed her robes and climbed into bed, after entering her chambers.

The next morning, Hermione dressed, walked into the library and did a little 'light-reading', leaving to go into the Great Hall for breakfast she was a little peeved that no one had the nerve to say "Happy Birthday Hermione" or "Happy Birthday Professor Granger". No, she received slight nods from the students and the Professors. Everyone was chatting as if it was any other day. Well, that was just peachy with her.

Suddenly, Madam Pince threw herself in the Great Hall doors and screamed

"Headmaster! The Books! My Books! What happened to the wards for my library!"

Hermione felt her stomach drop. No, this had to be a joke. Rushing hurriedly with the other professors to Madam Pince.

"Madam Pince, what is wrong my dear?"

"Albus, how could you not know the wards went down in the library!?"

"Madam Pince, I was just in the library the wards were still up." Hermione stated.

Madam Pince turned around and gave Hermione a look as if she had caused what ever had happened to her precious books. " Granger! Albus! Fire her immediately she destroyed my books!"

Then she fell to her knees and started crying. Hermione was very close to doing this herself. Hogwarts was one of the top five libraries in the world. Hermione suddenly began running to the library. It was her birthday this wasn't supposed to be happening she was going to wake up and the library was going to be fine, people would remember her birthday, and Severus might talk to her.

She could feel her eyes watering, she was rapidly blinking her eyes so that tears wouldn't fall, cheeks were tinged red, lips swollen for biting them. She was a mess. Hermione threw the library doors open and started crying immediately.

There were all her friends with banners around the library saying "Happy Birthday 'Mione!" Trying to wipe the tears away she was smothered with hugs by Ron and Harry.

Wiping the tears from her eyes she hugged most of the order, and was pushed into a chair where packages and envelopes were waiting to be opened. All were addressed to her. Hermione couldn't help but let tears fall down her eyes.

Hermione didn't know but Severus Snape was watching in the corner of the library. Watching how the people she loved most were by her side. Her face was bright, pale, with tinged rosemary cheeks. Swollen lips that opened with bright beautiful white teeth, with a voice that emitted with cheerful laughter. How could anyone not feel attracted to someone who was beautiful and intelligent at the same time. He watched as the party went on for hours. The headmaster had cancelled classes for the day but, the students were rest assured on Monday the classes would be extended for the lack of class today. Soon people were leaving and he watched as Hermione had a house-elf, Dobby, take her presents to her rooms. Soon he watched as Hermione hugged her two friends and walked with them to the gates.

Severus stood watching out of the window as she waved bye as they apparated. Hermione walked around the lake once with a dream-like expression on her face and walked into the doors of Hogwarts.

"Granger."

"Snape." Hermione s face had went into a cold icy stare rather then the beautiful relaxed face.

"Your present Professor Granger." Severus placed a rectangle box in one hand and then pulled another box out of his pocket and placed it on top of the rectangle.

Hermione was looking at the package when she looked up, she saw Snapes robes hug the corner he had just turned.

Hermione walked to her rooms and enlarged the rectangle box. Removed the gold ribbon, which she was surprised since it was a Gryffindor color, and took off the top. Twenty-one red roses were lying on top of black ruffled paper. Hermione took the other box she enlarged it to the regular size which was the shape of a rectangle. An envelope. Hermione ripped it open and read very simple words.

You are twenty-one, make your decisions wisely.

Hermione smiled and pulled the roses out, smiled and walked into her grand bathroom for a long hot bath.
