A/N: heres the next chappie. Now there is only a subtle hint in this chapter of the plot twist. I didn't want to give it to you all at once.

chapter six

On Monday Hermione woke up and jumped in the shower. Wow what a weekend. After their little incident Saturday morning, Hermione and Severus couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other.

Yes it was great wasn't it? Hermione was so startled, she almost fell out of the shower.

Severus you scared me.

Sorry love. So you were thinking about me again?

Maybe. She grinned. Were you that guy from this weekend or was it a different guy?

Very funny. What are you doing?

Taking a shower.

Mmm. I wish I could join you.

You could you know. We have a little time before breakfast. You could floo to my room.

My my who knew that a little book worm like you could have a sex goddess living inside her.

Well maybe I was just waiting for the right man to awaken her.

And might I be that man?

I don't know. Why don't you come and find out.

Severus walked to his fire place and grabbed some floo powder. He stepped in and said Head Girl's room. He walked over to her bathroom and opened the door. He took off his clothes and stepped in, pulling Hermione close to him and kissing her.

Thirty minutes later Hermione was in her robe looking for something to wear. Severus walked out of the bathroom still naked. He walked up behind Hermione and put his hands around her waist and kissed her neck. Just then they heard a knock at the door. Severus whispered something and when Hermione turned around he was gone.

"Severus!" Hermione whispered.

"I'm right here. I'm just invisible." She heard him from right where had had been before. Hermione walked over to the door and opened it.

"Ron! Hi. What are you doing here?"

"Well when you didn't show up for breakfast I thought something was wro…are you ok?" Hermione couldn't stand still and was mumbling something.

"Stop it." She whispered. "What? Oh I'm fine. I just woke up late is all. Don't worry, I'll be at class on time."

"Ok. So umm see you then I guess." Ron walked away looking very confused. As soon as he left, Hermione turned around.

"What the bloody hell did you do that for? He could have noticed." Severus came back into view and threw his hands around her.

"He didn't notice anything. And besides I thought you liked it when I did that?"

"Well I do but not when other people are around." She grinned and threw her arms around his neck. "I see you are getting a little excited."

"Just a little. Nothing a little fun wouldn't fix." She kissed him and smiled.

"Sorry but I have to get ready for class and so do you. So for now…" She looked down. "Down boy." She grinned and walked over to her closet. Severus, looking frustrated, grabbed his clothes and flood back to his rooms.

Hermione walked to Herbology and found Harry and Ron waiting for her.

"Hey Hermione where were you this morning?" Harry asked.

"Oh I just woke up late, that's all."

"Oh ok." Harry and Ron walked into class ahead of Hermione whispering something. Hermione sighed. Boys. She walked in and sat next to Draco, who had unfortunately been paired with her.

"Good morning class."

"Good morning Professor," said the class in unison.

"Today you will be assisting me in weeding out the green house. I have noticed some weeds appearing and I don't trust any of the other grades with them, as some are very dangerous. Now all of you have several pots in front of you and your partners. There are also different books on identifying weeds. If you are not sure if the plant is a weed, please look it up in the book or ask me. I do not wish to lose some of these plants seeing as there are very valuable ones here. You may get started."

Hermione reached out and pulled a pot close to her. Draco was talking to Pansy and not doing any work.

"Draco, just because you are head boy and I am head girl and Sprout seems to think we should be partners, does not mean that I am going to do all the work."

"Yes professor," Draco said sarcastically. He turned to a pot and began picking at a rather ugly plant. Every few seconds he would look up at Hermione and she was beginning to get annoyed. Finally she couldn't take it anymore.

"Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Her curly hair had fallen in her eyes. She tried to brush it aside but it refused.

"No. Your face is perfect." He reached up and slid the piece of hair behind her ear and went back to work. He didn't look at her the rest of the class.

What the hell? He's up to something I know it. I'm going to find out what it is.

She returned to her work but kept an eye on him the rest of the class. Thankfully he didn't do anything else. After class she had a few hours to herself. Her Care of Magical Creatures class had been canceled because Hagrid had gotten bitten by one of his 'pets' which he had said to be 'perfectly harmless' and had to be rushed to St. Mungo's. She layed down on her bed but was interrupted by a knock at the door.

It's probably Severus wanting a shag before class. I swear that man never tires. But it wasn't Severus at the door.

"Ginny! What are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to you. You've seemed…different lately." Hermione tried to suppress a grin but didn't succeed very well. Ginny walked past Hermione and over to the fire place.

"So how are you? I mean really."

"I'm fine Gin. I swear. There's nothing wrong."

"You promise?"

"Yes Ginny. Everything is great." Hermione thought for a moment. "Well there was one weird thing that happened today but I wouldn't call it a crisis or anything."

"Well what happened?" Hermione told Ginny about her encounter with Draco in Herbology.

"Hermione are you blind?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Can't you see that he's in love with you?"

"What!"

"Haven't you noticed how he hasn't called you mudblood once this year? Or how he is always staring at you? Everyone knows it."

"I didn't know. Why hasn't anyone told me?"

"Because it was kind of obvious. We all thought you knew."

"This can't be happening."

"Why is it so bad? It's not like you have a boyfriend or anything." Hermione opened her mouth to speak but turned away from Ginny.

"Hermione Jane Granger!"

"Yeah?"

"You do have a boyfriend don't you?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?" Ginny screamed and Hermione smiled weakly.

"So who is he? Anyone I know?"

"Well…yes you do know him."

"So who is it already? Tell me before I die of anticipation." Ginny was grinning.

"Well…" She's my best friend. So if I tell her she won't get mad. Right?

A/N: Will she tell Ginny?
