Disclaimer: I hate these things and this will be my last one until the last chapter but yeah I still own nothing. Hope I wrote this enough times.
AN: Once again I must thank my reviewers. Also I would like to say that I am sorry for the fact that one reviewer seems to not like my story much but it is my first story and I am trying. As for Hermione being over her parents no such thing has happened. It is still the same day that she found out about them being dead. It just hasn't really hit her yet that they are gone. As for Ron's part she hasn't forgotten about him either. She has had a lot of time to grieve over Ron. Four months actually. And as for Snape and Draco being nice to Hermione I am not sure how book six will go but from what I have heard about it I am hoping that something like this for Draco being nicer to Hermione would come around. I am sorry that this story seems like that and will try to do better in the future. Sorry this A.N. is so long, I'll just have to make the chapter longer to make up for it. Oh and before I forget purplewonder love your reviews and the help you give me in them but I have to ask, who's Fred?
I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was kissing my Professor. Not just any Professor but Snape. What was I thinking? I know what he was thinking. I could feel what he was thinking with the way I was sitting. I pulled back and looked at Severus. I couldn't believe that he could kiss like that. I was breathing a little heavy. "Hermione, what was that for?" He asked looking me in the eye with his cool black eyes. "Professor, I like you too. I've wanted to tell you for a while now. I just didn't know how." I looked at Snape and smiled. "I messed up didn't I?" I didn't wait for an answer but stood up and walked out going to my room and locking the door. I fell onto the bed and thought about all that had happened that day.
It was only lunch time and already I had found out that my parents were killed, I was engaged to someone I didn't even like, and I had kissed a Professor. It was beginning to look like a very bad day. I pulled a pillow towards me and hugged it to my chest. I sat there for a few minutes before putting the pillow over my face and screaming into it. I threw the pillow across the room and broke a picture of Ron that I had put on the dresser.
I rolled over in the bed and started to cry. Why did my parents have to die? Why did Ron have to die? Everything was going wrong. I had to marry Draco at the end of the year and there didn't seem to be any way out of it.
I stood up tears still running down my face and walked towards my dresser and picked up the broken picture of Ron. He was waving up at me smiling. I got a smile on my face and fixed the picture. I sat it back on my dresser and walked over to my night table and picked up a picture of my parents. It was a muggle picture so they weren't waving or anything. They looked so happy. Her mom was hugging me and her dad was holding me close to him. I started to cry again harder then before. I couldn't believe that they were really gone. The last 7 years I had barley seen them and now I regretted it. I heard a knock at the door out in the living room. I heard Snape answer it and a man's voice. I was unsure who's. I went to my dresser and grabbed a tissue and wiped my face and eyes.
I walked into the living room and saw Lucius standing with Snape. "Oh good god, do you ever go away?" I said walking into the living room and sitting on the couch. I crossed my arms in front of me and looked up. "Well what kind of greeting is that for your father in law?" Lucius said walking towards me.
Snape grabbed his shoulder. "I don't think she needs any of your shit today Lucius." Snape walked around to the front of Lucius and pushed him back a little. "No Severus I actually want to hear what he has to say," I said standing and sitting Snape now. "Now please enlighten me on how I should treat a father in law," I said crossing my arms.
He started to walk towards me but then stopped. "You should treat him with respect and kindness," he said looking at me with gray pricing eyes. "Well if you find me a father in law that disserves to be treated like that you come back and let me know," I said sitting on the couch. Lucius walked closer to me and grabbed me by the caller of my shirt. "Now you listen to me young lady, I will not put up with such disrespect from you any longer. You will either learn to listen or you will regret it!" He said yelling right in my face as Snape was holding his arm to try and get him to let go. He dropped me and I landed hard on the ground. I pulled out my wand and pointed it at him. "You will not threaten me sir. If you think I am afraid of you think again," I said watching him closely. He started to walk closer to me.
"Hermione stop you don't know what you are doing," Snape said walking towards me. "Stay out of this," I said rather more harshly then I had wanted to. I watched as Lucius came close to me and grabbed my wand arm. I switched my wand to my other arm and touched it to him and yelled, "AMBURO." He let go of my arm and let out a scream as his shoulder and arm started on fire. I looked over at Snape and then walked to the other side of the room and leaned against the wall and watched as Lucius continued to be on fire. "Amnis," I heard Snape say and watched as water poured on Lucius and stopped the fire.
"Where did you learn that spell?" Lucius asked looking at me with anger in his eyes. "I taught it to myself, like you said I am the brightest witch of my age." I stood up straight and walked towards him. "Next time you touch me, it will be worse," I said as I walked away back to my room.
I went to the bed and sat on it. I lied down and curled up into a ball and cried thinking about everything that had happened today. My parents were killed by my soon to be father in law and he thinks that he dissevers to be treated with respect. He was out of his mind. I was out of my mind. I couldn't believe I had kissed a professor. I was still unsure if that was even what the professor had wanted. I heard a knock at my door but did not go to answer it. I heard it open and saw a shadow on my wall from the person. "Hermione, are you ok?" Snape said walking into the room and sitting on the bed. I put my head up and let my legs go and turned to face Snape. I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and gave a small laugh. "Do I look ok to you?" I asked.
"Hermione I know this is hard but you have to remember that I will get you out of this," Snape said putting his hand on my cheek and wiping away more of my tears. "Thank you but you really don't have to. I think I actually have plan. I can't explain it right now though. I am sorry about earlier. I hope I didn't make you angry." I got off the bed and walked over to the dresser to grab a new shirt. I watched as Snape stood and walked towards me. He bent his head in close and kissed me on my lips. He pulled back a little and said, "Believe me Hermione if it wasn't something I wanted I wouldn't have kissed back." He let me go and walked out the room. I heard him leave the chambers to go to his class since the lunch bell had now rang. I quickly changed shirts and ran out of the room. I grabbed my bag and went into the hallway.
I quickly checked my schedule since I hadn't gone to classes the day before and was unsure of what I had. Double Transfiguration, one of my favorite classes. I walked into the class and saw Harry sitting at a table and walked over to sit next to him. "Hey," I said not looking at him. "Hermione what are you doing here? No one is expecting you to go to class today you know. You're really pale Hermione," Harry said looking at me. "Yes I know no one is expecting me. I can't keep skipping classes. I missed all of yesterday to help Snape with that potion so I figured I better go today. Don't worry Harry I'm alright." I looked at Harry for the first time since I sat down.
"Harry what happened to your face?" I asked noticing that he had a huge black eye. "Oh this, it's nothing. I just got into a fight with Malfoy," Harry said touching his cheek. "What why did you and Draco get into a fight?" I asked holding Harry's face and looking at his eye. "Umm to be honest I know what his dad did to your parents and I really don't care what anyone thinks Draco knew something like that would happen if he complained long enough that he wanted you for his wife." He grabbed my hand and held it in his for a few minutes. I looked around the class and noticed all the other Slytherin's sitting at the tables. "Harry where is Draco?" I asked looking at him again. "Ok now Hermione don't get mad but he is in the hospital wing. I sort of broke his arm," Harry said fidgeting.
I looked at Harry with my mouth open. "Harry how could you?" I said laughing so he would know I wasn't mad. "How did you break it? I mean since when does Draco Malfoy fight physical and fair for that matter?" I looked into Harry's green eyes and watched as his face turned from a frown into a smile when he realized I wasn't angry with him. "Well actually I came up behind him and twisted his arm. I heard it snap but I didn't think anything of it at the time. I have a month's detention for it. Draco has a week for punching me in the face before he left." Harry gave a laugh as Professor McGonagall walked in.
The bell rang four hours later and Harry and I went to the Great Hall to get dinner. As we walked in I saw Draco sitting at the Slytherin table with his arm fixed. "I better go see how Draco is. Thanks again Harry," I said squeezing Harry's arm and walking towards Draco. I saw Crabbe and Goyle watching me but did not worry much. I sat next to Draco with my arms on the table. "How's your arm?" I asked him hoping he wasn't still angry. "Its fine no thanks to Harry. He started it I swear," he said holding up his arms. He looked back at Harry and glared. "I know he told me what happened. How's your eye by the way? Does it still hurt?" I said touching his cheek. "Well you touching it doesn't help any that is for sure. Anyways it's fine. Thanks for giving it to me. I heard what happened with my father. I can't believe you started him on fire. What did you do that for?" He asked looking at me angrily. "Well I told him not to touch me or think I was afraid of him. Not my fault he didn't listen to me," I said standing up. "I'm going back to my table. I'll see you later," I said as I walked back over to my table and sat next to Seamus.
"Hey guys, did I miss anything?" I said as I started to get food. I looked back at the Slytherin table and saw Draco looking over at me. I gave him a smile and went back to my food. "Hey no, what was all that about Hermione?" Ginny asked looking at Draco and then back at me. "Oh it was nothing. I was just asking him what he was thinking when he punched Harry in the face," I said eating some of my chicken. I looked over at Harry and smiled. Ginny looked over at Harry and then back to me. "Is there something going on that I should know?" Ginny asked moving closer to Harry. "No, Harry can tell you about it later," I said. I had finished eating and saw that Draco had left already. "I think I'm going to head to bed. I've had a long day. See you guys tomorrow," I said standing and walking out of the Great Hall.
