Chapter 6: Drama! I Love It!
Hermione and Severus had both given up trying to get out of his rooms. They had been stuck in there for several hours and now both were sitting on the couch reading. Hermione on one end sat with her back to the arm and her legs stretched out in front of her. Severus was on the other end with his legs on top of the coffee table in front of him. Severus felt his stomach growl and he looked up at the clock. It was nearly twelve. Perhaps he should make some lunch.
"Hermione would you care for something to eat? . . . Hermione?" He looked over at her and saw that she had fallen asleep. He smiled inwardly. She's so beautiful when she's asleep, he thought. Don't start to fall for her again Severus, she'll be leaving again soon. He pulled a blanket over her and went into the kitchen.
Hermione stretched and blinked as she awoke. She sat up and looked around for Severus.
"Dammit!" she heard coming from the kitchen. She got up and headed to the kitchen.
"Severus what's wrong?" Hermione sounded very concerned.
"Nothing. I just cut my hand on this damned knife." He was holding his left hand tightly.
"Let me see it." She walked over and grabbed his hand.
"Ow!" He flinched.
"Sorry. Do you have any peroxide?"
"Peroxide . . ." he repeated.
"It's used to clean wounds. It's a muggle thing."
"I know what it is; I am a Potions master," he said sternly.
"Sorry, it just sounded like you didn't know."
"There should be some in the bathroom."
"I'll be right back." She left and came back with a large brown bottle and some cotton balls. She poured the peroxide onto the cotton and gently touched it to his hand. He winced.
"Oh stop. Even Emma doesn't flinch anymore." He scowled at her and she just grinned. After a few seconds she wrapped the cut in a magical waterproof bandage.
"All done."
"Thanks," he said quietly.
"Would you like a juice box for being a good boy?" She laughed.
"What the bloody hell is a juice box?"
"Oh something that the Severus Snape doesn't know?"
"Very funny. Thank you though." She smiled.
"You're welcome." She stared into his eyes and he stared back into hers. She was about to move closer when he spoke.
"Um, would you like some lunch?"
"Yes thank you; but don't cut yourself again." She sighed and sat at the table watching him cook. When he set the plate in front of her she raised her eyebrows and looked up at him.
"Grilled Cheese?"
"What? I can eat muggle food? This just so happens to be my favorite childhood food."
"Sorry, it's just I never pictured you as a grilled cheese eater." He smirked and sat down.
"Do you realize that you keep saying you're sorry? Or is it subconscious."
"Sorry," she laughed. "Last one I promise. I guess I didn't realize it."
"No it's fine. It's quite amusing actually."
"I'm glad that you find my embarrassment funny."
"I always have Hermione." He smirked and she smirked back. She took a bite of her sandwich and nodded.
"Pretty good. You know this is one of Emma's favorite muggle foods too. She's a lot like you. Every day I notice something new that reminds me of you."
"Is that a good or bad thing?"
"Right now it's looking pretty good." He smiled. Hermione stretched out her legs but accidentally bumped into his. She didn't realize that it was Severus' leg and started rubbing it with her foot, thinking it was a leg to the table. He raised his eyebrows and when Hermione noticed his facial expression she immediately stopped.
"That's not the table leg is it?" He shook his head and she pulled back instantly.
"I'm s . . . ok no I'm not. And again you think my embarrassment is funny." He stood up and walked over to her. He took her hand and pulled her up so that she was inches away from him. She still had to look up as he was much taller than her.
"What else am I supposed to think? When you're embarrassed your cheeks get all red." He cupped her face with one hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb. "Your eyes narrow." He ran his finger over her eyes shutting them. "Your breathing rate increases." He ran his hand down and drew patterns on her chest. "Your lips part." He brushed her lips with his thumb. "And you look simply stunning." She opened her eyes just as he covered her lips with his own. Hermione almost collapsed. He put his arm around her back and pulled her closer. She put her arms up around his neck. Without breaking the kiss he pulled her into the bedroom. He pulled her shirt over her head and she undid his belt buckle.

Emma walked up to the Gryffindor common room after lunch. She had a free period. She sat on the couch and stared into the fire. Suddenly Dumbledore came though the portrait smiling.
"Emma, I just wanted top inform you that your plan is working brilliantly."

Hermione and Severus were lying on the bed with the blankets half covering them. Hermione had her head on his chest and Severus was rubbing her back. Hermione looked up at him and he kissed her forehead. Suddenly they heard a knock at the door. Severus groaned.
"Must be the spell is gone. I better get that."
"No stay here," Hermione said.
"I have to get it, it could be Albus." He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He walked out to the door. Hermione wrapped his blanket around her. When she went out into the living room she saw a tall blond woman at the door. Hermione went over to the door, ducked under Severus' arm so that she was standing in front of the woman. The woman was almost as tall as Severus.
"Hermione, why don't you go wait in the bedroom." Severus said, suddenly sounding serious. Hermione ignored him.
"Hi I'm Hermione, who might you be?"
"Hermione…" Severus was starting to sound desperate.
"I'm Olivia," the blond woman said.
"Hermione, please go inside."
"You must be an old friend of Severus'. So how do you two know each other?"
"Well I'm his wife."
"Ha that's funny I thought you said you were his wife."
"I did." Hermione's mind went blank. She went back into the room ignoring Severus' pleas to talk to him. She picked up her clothes and put them on. Severus came back into the room and grabbed her arm.
"Hermione please listen to me."
"Don't touch me Severus!" She went into the spare room and grabbed a bag. She started putting her things in it. Severus followed her and grabbed her hands.
"Hermione would you please stop and listen to me. I can explain."
"Don't fucking touch me! How could you do this to me? To our daughter? I told you . . . I told you I would never love another man as long as I live and what do you do? You go and get married! I loved you! And then if that wasn't good enough you act like nothing ever happened when I come back here. Why did you sleep with me if you were married? You know what I don't want to know. I need to get out of here." She walked out of the room and left, slamming the door. Severus groaned and turned to Olivia.
"Did I come at a bad time?" Olivia asked.
"You think!"
A/N: Muahahahahaha I am soooooo evil and I love it!
