Chapter 2: I'm going with HER!
"I'm glade you decided to go after all," Albus said.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go," Hermione Granger answered.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"You're not going?" they said in unison. Snape and Hermione's relationship had NOT improved since she was a student. Being a professor just meant that she didn't have to put up with his snide comments in silence.
"I'm afraid I can't. Something came up," Albus answered.
"Why do I have to go with HER?" Snape sneered.
"It's not like I want to go with you either," Hermione shot back.
Snape narrowed his eyes and glared at her.
"Yes, yes. You're going together. Now shake hands and make up."
They just stared at each other.
"I said SHAKE HANDS!"
They both shot him dirty looks and reluctantly shook hands.
Hermione shivered. She had a secret crush on Snape, too bad about the personality. No one knew about it and she intended too keep it that way. She figured if she really got to know him and got him to trust her then he could get over his pride and have feelings for her; that's why he didn't have a partner - everyone thought he was just mean. But not her. She knew it was just a mask... or barrier if you will. That he couldn't act like he fancied anyone because he didn't want to be hurt. She couldn't help being turned off by his disinterest in anything living sometimes. It was childish to think she knew him but Hermione didn't see it that way.

As the weeks went by, they became friendlier.
As the months went by they became friends.
By the end of the school year they had a tight mutual friendship.
Snape had learned to respect Hermione. He even like her too, but he was damned if he would admit it.
(Won't bother with a long speech because it'll just end up like that anyway)

All the students had now gone home for the summer. Hermione was on her way to the dungeons when she crash into something hard. It sent her flying backwards. When she sat up she realised that she had bashed into Snape and knocked him over.
"Sorry," he said and got up.
"It was my fault," she said as she took his outstretched hand and pulled herself up. He pulled her at the same time and she crashed into his hard chest.
She froze.
He moved back.
"Sorry," he repeated.
"No problem. So, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?"
"Shopping - duh!"
"What?"
"You have to buy muggle cloths. Didn't you think that it would be a bit suspicious if you walked around a muggle area in the sweltering heat while wearing your heavy robes!"
"Of course I did," he snapped.
"Lets go then."
"Now?"
"No, a week on Tuesday. Of course now, silly."
He glared at her last word and she smiled sweetly back at him.
Okay, that was short but I have started typing chapter three. It always looks like more when you have it hand written. Oh well. Next chapter they go shopping.
