A/N: If you haven't read the 6th book or know what happens you might want to find out before you read this chapter.

A/N: this chapter is longer than the others because it has song lyrics.

Time went my so fast from that point on. Hermoine spent as much free time with Snape in the room of requirements. In there they talked about what they had done over the summer, and why in the world Snape killed Dumbledore. Snape told her about the unbreakable vow and how it was either Dumbledore's life or his, and although his decsision made her sad she was semi happy that he hadn't taken his own life. He described how he and Draco spent their summer hiding for the dark lord, now that they were trying to be on the good side and everything. He said he spent a month in the United States.

A/N: Where he was locked inside a cage along with captain hook in some girl named Caitlyn's closet.

She told him about the destroying of Horcruxes with the Order and Snape happened to know where the remaining one was. Hermoine had to tell Harry of the discovery when she got back. But the thought hit her… how would she tell him how she got the information, seeing as how he had no idea about her relationship with Snape.

The next day it would be christmas so they exchanged their gifts that night. Snape gave her a red and gold heart locket, inside It was half green and silver, and on the other half it said, "on the outside I may be a gryffindor, but my heart belongs to a slytherin." She loved it so much, because it was true the only person she ever love had been in slytherin. She gave him her gift it was a box engraved with "You've gained my trust others will follow." It was getting late and she had to go so Ron, Harry, and Ginny wouldn't ask to many questions about where shes been. I mean seriously how many times would she be able to pull off the "I fell asleep in the library" excuse.

The next day it was time for a traditon they had started to years earlier while most of their friends had been away at their parents houses. It was the annual karaoke contest. This years judges included Mcgonagall, the fat lady who left her portrait to judge, and Snape. First up was Ron who sang "Dreaming of a White Christmas" this was the third time he sang this song at karaoke night. Up next was Ginny and Harry singing a duet, the song was "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You" by Nsync. A few of the teachers went including the new defense against the dark arts teacher named professor unopouff

A/N: yes I know the name is corny but I couldn't think of anything else.

Finally Hermoine went and her song was dedicated to Snape but only she knew it, she began singing.

"Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

Outro:
If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby"

The crowd gave her a standing ovation and she obviously won. After she won, it was a ritual to interview the winner. The judges asked her questions about where she found the song, did she want to be a singer when she grew up. But the final question shocked her.

"Ms. Granger… is this song dedicated to anyone in specific?" asked Snape. She glared at him, he knew the anwser, why must he torture her like that?

"Well, professor I can't say its dedicated to anyone, because I am not pining for anyone right now." Anwsered Hermoine. "I must go now, I have to "study" in the library." With that she walked off and a few minutes later she was outside the room of requirements. Snape walked up to her and they hurried inside.

"You know the song was dedicated to you." She said.

"Of course it was." Responded Snape, "I just wanted to see what you would say." With that they hopped onto the couch that was inside the room and started making out.
