Reunited
We met in the local pub. Hermione sat beside me and accepted my drink offer.
I wondered if I would leave without her.
"What happened to you Severus?"
Bah, there was no time for that! "What did Weasley say?"
She sighed heavily. "He's not happy but he understands. Ours was no great romance, only friendship." Her eyes burned into mine. "I missed you so much Severus."
I was free then to take her hand, in more ways than one. Her small hand in mine felt so cold.
"This feels right."
"It is right." Hermione passionately assured me.
We slipped upstairs.
Together at last. I wonder what did happen to Severus. ;)
Only one more chapter to go! Oh no!
