AN: Snape's POV.
After I comforted Hermione, I ushered her out and Year 6 Potion Class began. I barely remember the class, as I was busy thinking about Hermione and how she thought she was possessed.
"Professor Snape?" Hermione called, I looked at her, her hand was up.
"Yes, Miss Granger, may I help you?" I asked.
"Yes, Professor. I think the instructions on the board are wrong." Hermione stated.
She may like me, but she still doubts me. I thought.
"You have thought wrong." I said coldly. "Detention tonight Miss Granger."
"Yes, Sir." She said and went back to her potion.
For the rest of the day I could not stop thinking about her. Her eyes, her hair, her lips. As her detention time grew closer, I felt worried. Should I wash my hair? I decided against it, I would be trying too hard.
She arrived on time, as always. I could not help but notice the black eyeliner she had applied, just for me.
"Hello Miss Granger." I said.
"Hello Professor." Hermione said.
"Call me Severus, Hermione." I told her sternly.
"But Sir, you're my Professor!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I know, Hermione please, just call me Severus." I pleaded.
"Ok Severus." She said. The way she said my name sent a shiver down my spine, a good one.
"Come here Hermione, I want to tell you something." I said, leading her through the door to my chambers.
"Sit." I instructed, and she followed.
"Hermione, I have to tell you… I am sorry. I lied to you, about the night you had detention. Please let me tell you what really happened." I told her all about the night I found out her secret, I even told her what Dumbledore had said.
"Severus, it's Ok. I want you to know that I love you… wait you already knew that." Hermione giggled.
"I love you to my Hermione… I love you too." I told her, as she jumped into my arms and gave me a huge hug, followed by a soft kiss on the lips.
The next days dragged on in darkness, the fact that our love was forbidden made things much harder. Dumbledore sees everything, there was no way to keep it from him.
I gave Hermione a detention a week, in hopes that our love would be able to fit everything into an hour. Hermione was an excellent kisser, she knew how to take it slow. Whether or not she learned this from Ron I don't know.
