Silence
Madam Pince glanced over at Professors Granger and Snape, sitting at a small table in the far corner of the library. Through the quiet she imagined she could hear the faintest scratch of quill on parchment.
Always together, those two. Last week in the staffroom, and Hogwarts duty, and tonight...I wonder if they… No. Surely not. She's so young and vibrant; he's so austere, so cold.
Satisfied, she returned to her task.
Looking up again when a slight movement caught her eye, she witnessed Severus gently caress Hermione's cheek.
"Come on, witch," he broke the silence. "Time for bed."
