Happy Christmas

Hermione woke the next morning and noticed Severus had gone. There was a noise coming from the living room and so she assumed the must be in there. Unable to deciedde if she was ready to face him Hermione lay in the bed wondering what had gone so wrong. She was used to cutting she had been doing it for over a year, she had never gone to deep before and why did he have to find out.

Severus was in the living room drinking coffee. He had the television on because unlike what most people think of severus he dislikes quiet. He only requires it in his classes because if people are not paying attention disasters can happen. As he put his coffee on the table he began to wonder on what he could do next. Although he would never admit it to anyone he cared for the little Griffindor. The fact that she cut herself in his room scared him. If she wasn't worried he would find her she needed help. Severus knew if he told anyone she would never forgive him. There was also a small part of severus that would never be able to forgive himself, so he had to decide what he was going to do. As he moved his leg he knocked his coffee over.

Hermione heard a crash from the living room. Without another though she ran in afraid something had happened. After living under the treat of Voldermort the slightest thing often made Hermione afraid. Granted not without good reason she remembered her last Christmas with her parents. As usual she had her head in a book in the living room. while her parents was in the kitchen making the diner. Hermione heard a crash in the kitchen but though noting of it until she found she felt fear as she looked up from her book she was surrounded by hundreds of death eaters. Without a though she touched her book mark as was teleported back to Hogwarts. She had never thanked Dumbledore for that emergence portkley as she always felt guilty that she should of done something more. Pulling her self from her thoughts she couldn't help but laugh at the sight before her.

Severus snape potions master of Hogwart grease git extordinare was in his living room. Jumping up and down trying to stop the burning. As he spilt coffee all over himself. Hermione also couldn't help but notice that he was not wearing his normal robes but instead muggle jeans and tshirt. Her mind though how come she never noticed his muscles before? "Would you stop staring miss granger and give me a hand." Then she though there's the old snape. "Cleanso." With one wave of her wand the coffee was gone.

Severus fell back onto the couch and mumbles something about how he could have done that. Hermione however stood in the doorway. "please take a seat miss granger I think we have somethings to discuss. " Carefully hermione sat down on the seat waiting for Severus to say something. "I am not going to pressure you into telling me anything. I will not tell you what your doing is wrong tell anyone else if you don't want me to. However I do need you to come to me if you are feeling down." Severus voice was low and smooth his words was soft and held no menacing under threat that it often held in class. Severus's eyes where staring at hermione begging to be let in. " I also know that I can't hold you here captive." Though his mind was telling him that this would be a great idea. "I would like you to trust me miss Granger."

For a long time Hermione said nothing. " Thank you sir. I understand that as I am your student you feel it best to look out for my welfare. I would also like to say I have always trusted you. Even when you where mean in class and when you where dressed as a death eater kneeling before Voldermort. Even when in I was in hospital and you was set as my guard. However you can do noting to help me. Also I know that you would tell nobody about what I do because if you did I would never forgive you." And with that Hermione walked out of snapes room.

Well what did you think read and review.
