Chapter 4: Sudden Proposals and A Safehouse
Hermione just shrugged her shoulders and walked to the dungeons. 'If he gets hurt, he gets hurt! I can't help it if I have feelings for someone else!' She sat down behind Snape's desk. Bored out of her mind, waiting for Snape, she opened a drawer of his desk. There were many sheets of parchment in this drawer, many of which had her handwriting on them. They were her 'love notes' to Severus. 'He kept these?' Hermione's eyes welled up with tears at the thought of him keeping her letters. She picked up a few to read them. She lifted the rest of them up out of the desk. The dates on the letters dated all the way to the middle of her fifth year. When she looked back into the drawer, she saw a small, black velvet box. Hermione picked up the box but dropped it back into the drawer due to the silky voice that spoke from the doorway. "Hermione?"
"Severus…what's - "
"I figured…" he made his way to where she was standing. "that maybe after this whole mess with the Dark Lord and Potter was over…that perhaps we could get married." he explained, slipping the ring onto her ring finger. "That is," he glanced into her eyes. "if you want to."
"Of course I do, Severus!" she squealed happily, standing on her tip toes to kiss him.
There was a loud 'hem hem' at which both Hermione and Severus turned to the doorway to see Draco Malfoy sporting as smirk.
"Yes Draco?" Hermione asked.
"We should be going. Potter will be down here any second to kill us." Draco cautioned.
"Alright. I owled my mother earlier. She owled me back saying that she will be waiting for your arrival. Also that your mother is already there." she looked to Draco. "Before I can come to check up on you two, I have to go to Bill Weasley's wedding. Then, I'll stop by. Be nice to my mother, she won't tolerate your sarcasm. Be careful, both of you. I love you, Severus." she blurted quickly.
"I love you too, Hermione." Severus breathed, taking one last look at Hermione before running out of his office and out to Hogwarts grounds.
