The next day Harry left to go visit Lupin and Tonks in their new London flat and to celebrate his holiday with those people he considered family. Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny stayed at Hogwarts because Hermoine's parent were on vacation in the Bahamas and Mr. And Mrs. Weasley were visiting Bill and Fleur. So they were left on their own in the Gryffindor common room. Instead of playing wizards chess with Ron, Ginny and Hermoine went up to the girls dorm to chat.

"So Hermoine have there been any boys who have stolen your heart recently?" Ginny asked.

"No, unfortunately we all can't be as lucky in the love department as you… now can we?"responded Hermoine.

"Well apparently not, but I would have thought you would have at least had one boyfriend since last year."

"There is this one guy I really like… he's tall dark and mysterious. I never would have thought in a million years that I would like someone like him, but I do and I don't know what to think."

"Why don't you go for it then, what's the worst that could happen?"

"Okay, but what if he's not in my league?" Hermoine was enjoying herself she knew she had already found the love of her life and he loved her back. It was just that Ginny was not going to find out for a while.

"Why is he not in your league? Is he older than you?"Hermoine hesitated. "Oh my god! He is isn't he? I knew it!"

"Now Ginny, you can't tell anyone if I tell you who it is. Got it?"

"Ok, I will even perform an unbreakable vow." With that they started the process.

"Are you ready to find out?" Ginny shook her head in agreement. "Its professor Snape."

"Oh ok… wait WHAT?"

"You didn't know? We have been dating since my second year."

"Isn't that illegal?"

"Not if my parents don't mind, and in the wizarding world I am legal now."

"Yeh, but isn't the legal age in the muggle world 19 or something."

"It's 18, and I only have like a year left so we are going to wait till then to do anything serious with our relationship."

"Like what would consider serious?"

"Marriage… something like that… I mean it's in our future and we are looking forward to it, but not until I'm legal in both worlds."

"So is that where you got that mysterious locket from?"

"Yes, it was a christmas present."

"Thought so… so what does he think about your parents being muggles?"

"Suprisingly he accepts them, despite his Slytherin nature, and I love him for it."

"Well what if he didn't"

"I don't know, I mean that's a major piece of my life, like I'm a witch and everything but I still do most of the things that muggles do."

"And he excepts that… aw how sweet, I wish I could find someone who is that accepting of me."

"You have though. Harry loves you for you."

"Oh yeh… I forgot about him lol." They started laughing. Which turned into a pillow fight, so obviously they ran downstairs and started hitting Ron with the pillows. They brought down an extra for Ron, and for the next hour feathers flew and when they were done the gryffindor common room looked like a chicken coupe.

Three days later all the other students returned to Hogwarts, and classes began again. Hermoine and Ginny became closer, and they began hanging out the remaining time hermoine had left after classes and "Snape" time as they called it. To Hermoine life was perfect. Perfect boyfriend, perfect best friend, perfect friends.
