A/N: This has spoilers for HBP. All characters belong to JKR. I just like to play with them. No one has beta'ed this for me. Characters might be a little OOC, but this is my imangination at work. SSHG.
Chapter 1
Why does he do this to me? All he has to do is glance towards where I sit. Not even the boys here at school can do that. I think I'm falling in love. Yes, me- Hermione Granger in love with Professor Severus Snape, Potions Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hermione Granger was sitting by her best friends Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, otherwise known as the Golden Trio. All three of them were starting their seventh and final year at hogwarts. Professor McGonagall stood up to welcome students to another year. Soon after she finished, food appeared on the tables, astonishing the first years. "Well isn't it the Potty, Mudblood and the Weasel. I'm surprised you even came to school after last year." drawled Draco.
"Mr. Malfoy, being Head Boy means setting an example for the younger students. Start acting like you should and I won't have you stripped of your duties." came a voice silkily from behind.
"Professor Snape, sir, I didn't see you." Draco replied backing away. He hurried off and left the Great Hall. Not long after Severus strode away as well.
"Harry, what did the Sorting Hat say this year?" Hermione asked as the three of them decided to go back to their common room.
"You didn't pay attention, 'Mione? What were you doing?" Harry replied, looking surprised.
"It said something about even with a new headmistriss, Hogwarts will not be overtaken." Ron interjected.
"That explains why it was so quiet before they began calling the first years. I was thinking about the last six years and what we've gone through." The three of them continued walking back to the Gryffindor common room.

What am I thinking? Everything would be against us. She probably hates me because of what I've done. I've fallen hard and fast. I'm in love with Hermione Granger, current Head Girl from Gryffindor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Severus sat in his quarters nursing a glass of firewhiskey. The Welcoming Feast had been very somber. He had, in fact, not heard a single word that was said but noticed when Draco was starting a fight with the woman he loved and her friends.
Suddenly, he stood up and stormed over to the fireplace. Grabbing a small pot, Severus took a pinch and threw it on the flames in the fireplace. Calling out his destination, he stuck his head in and told the woman on the other side that he needed to talk.
Moments later Severus was pacing Minerva's office. "You say you have a problem? tell me what is and we will come up with a solution." Minerva said.
"I've fallen in love with someone and I don't know how to tell her."
"What's her name?"
"It's Her- It's Miss Granger!" Severus replied while throwing his hands in the air.
"She was here not to long ago with the same problem. I told her to go talk to the person. Now I have other things to do, so can I have my office back? Go pace yours if you must pace. But walk back through the castle."
Severus walked out of the office and started heading down to the dungeons. As he was walking there he was thinking. Rounding a corner, he stopped suddenly."You!"
