"Hello Ms. Granger." Said a mysterious voice and at once she turned around and saw the black-haired professor who had aged a lot since the end of term last year.
"I…uh…your…uh… back?" gasped Hermoine as the words sputtered out of her mouth.
"Now, Ms. Granger I hope you will keep this meeting between us until classes start tomorrow, or else you will have detenion for the next three Saturdays with me cleaning the potion scum from last year."
"Okay, professor my lips are sealed, but I think I should get something out of this deal." She stared into his eyes which unlike the rest of his face didn't seem to have aged at all she she last gazed upon during defense against the dark arts last term.
"Okay Ms. Granger, what do you want?"
"Severus. Please call me Hermoine, and why didn't you write over the summer, I really missed those letters."
"What did you except me to do, blow my cover just so I could write you a letter. I am sorry babe but I didn't want to go to Azkaban and not see you even longer, plus me turning good and all has led Voldemort to believe I will spill his secrets." With that he lifted his cloak sleeves and showed that the dark mark had been remover.
"Ok well if you put it that way, I forgive you now please can we kiss, I mean I defended you to all my friends not knowing you were even here, and you don't even hug me when you see me."
"Listen Hermoine, Mcgonagall doesn't trust me as much as Dumbledore did, so we must act like we aren't together."
"But Sevvie I am of legal wizarding age, they know that so I can have an adult relationship, my parents met you and loved you and they know you're over 18, it doesn't matter anymore. I just want you and that's it!"
"Well we still must conceal the relationship we have, people may not understand it."
"Please like they still believe I like Ron… eww. What I wonder is how they were so clueless about our relationship even after we spent all that time together at the orders headquaters. Well I'd better be off, they might start worrying where I am, see you in class tomorrow. I love you!"
"I love you to baby." With that they kissed and walked off in their separate directions her to the common room and him to the dungeon, even though he was tired, her words kept him up all night. He had never felt this way before about anyone and he was glad she was the one to have the key to his heart.
Hermoine had arrived into the common room at around 10 of 11 and everyone had went to bed except for Ron and Harry, whose lips were stilled blue from kissing Ginny most likely.She walked right past and was about to climb the stairs to her dorm when…
"I don't think so miss, what have you been up to this late." Asked Ron.
"I fell asleep at the library looking up things to be prepared for class tomorrow. I have a feeling there's going to be a surprise tomorrow, wonder what it'll be." With that she walked off into the girls dorm and fell asleep with thought of Severus' and her lips touching at last after 3 long months.
The next morning they had potions first thing and Harry, Ron, and Hermoine walked down to the classroom. Harry and Ron had been expecting professor Slughorn to be there because when they walked in the door and saw Snape their mouths literally sank to the floor. All Hermoine could do was laugh and they took their seats. Without the rest of the students Snape quickly gave a wink to Hermoine and the class began.
He explained to them that the reason he was back was because he had to kill Dumbledore due to an unbreakable vow he had with Draco's mother. He never meant to just the urge was to strong. Once he and Draco disappeared from Hogwarts territory they apparated to some cave in Scottland and were doing fine until a reporter discovered them and they left, they had been hiding in the room of requirements up until last night. However unlike Snape, Draco joined the darkside once they got back, but he forgot to mention to Voldemort where Snape was.
With that they began their lessons they were to all create a polyjuice potion and in 6 months they were to transform into the person on the right. Hermoine raised her hand.
"Um excuse Professor Snape but there is no way I am going to transform into Harry for even a minute, I like being a girl."
"Yes, I know you don't want to change into Mr. Potter over there, but if you don't wish to fail this class I suggest you do." Anwsered Snape and with that they started to make the potion.
