A/N: HP and "Something There" aren't mine. They're J.K.'s and Disney's.

Well, who'd have thought?

Well, bless my soul

Well, who'd have known?

Well, who indeed?

The night Snape and Hermione acted on their feelings toward one another, the night of the End of the Year Ball, their disappearance from the Great Hall did not go unnoticed. If they thought they could escape the dance without someone noticing, they had another thing coming.

The first person, of course, to notice was Albus Dumbledore. He turned back to Severus to resume his rant about the Ministry, but he wasn't there. Dumbledore looked around quickly, and saw neither Severus nor Miss Granger. Suddenly a thought struck him. He chuckled and shook his head. Not a chance, he thought to himself. But even as he thought that, he remembered the look in Severus's eyes when he had pointed out how lovely Miss Granger was looking tonight. Severus wasn't looking at Miss Granger as a student. He was looking at her as an equal—as an adult… that he was attracted to. Merlin's beard! Dumbledore thought. He walked briskly over to Professor McGonagall and pulled her aside.

"Minerva. We have to talk," he whispered.

"Albus, not here," she said breathily, "the students will see!" Albus blushed.

"No, not that, Minerva," he said, winking, "we'll save that for later. Right now, I have to tell you about Severus," he said quickly, making sure no one was listening.

"Where is Severus, anyway? I haven't seen him for awhile," she said, looking around. At that moment, Ron ambled over to them.

"Excuse me, Professors, but have you seen Hermione? She was just talking to you a few minutes ago, Headmaster, but I haven't seen her since," Ron said.

Albus glanced at Minerva, who put her hand over her mouth and gasped. Ron looked at her, startled.

"What's wrong, Professor?" he asked, completely clueless as to what the two of them were on about.

"Oh, nothing, Mr. Weasley. I just remembered I have some urgent business to take care of, with, er, Professor Dumbledore," she said quickly, "I'm sure Miss Granger will turn up," and with that, she drug the Headmaster toward the door. Ron sniggered. Urgent business… like what, snogging? Dumbledore and McGonagall thought that no one knew about their little secret, but naturally, that meant everyone did.

On their way out the door, Minerva caught the attention of Hagrid, who was eating cake in the corner with Neville, and Professor Lupin, who had been invited back to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Hagrid and Lupin made their way to the door, only to be pushed out it by McGonagall.

"What's going on, Minerva?" Lupin asked, stumbling over the door facing.

"Yea, Profess'r, wha' in the world?" Hagrid mumbled, his mouth full of cake. Dumbledore just grinned.

"We have a new couple on the scene," Dumbledore said, gesturing at the door to the empty classroom where he was sure Hermione and Severus had gone.

Lupin shrugged. "And this concerns the faculty.. why?" he said, confused on what the big deal was. Hagrid just stood there, unsure of why he was supposed to care.

"Well, it concerns the faculty because one of the parties involved is a faculty member," McGonagall said exasperatedly, as if Hagrid and Lupin were supposed to read her mind.

Lupin's eyes widened. "What do you mean one of the parties involved? Who's the other party?" he asked, narrowing his eye.

"Why, our very own Potions Master," Dumbledore said quietly, so the sure-to-be-snogging couple wouldn't hear them.

"SNAPE!?" Hagrid said in a whisper. Dumbledore and McGonagall nodded.

"If Snape is the faculty member… then who's…" his voice trailed off.

"Think about it, Remus," McGonagall said. "What girl has been helping our dear Severus after class for extra credit she does not need? What girl came into the ball tonight with Ronald Weasley but is now nowhere to be seen?" Lupin suddenly realized.

"Hermione Granger!" he exclaimed, exchanging shocked glances with Hagrid.

"Miss Granger, indeed," Dumbledore said, smiling.

"You aren't concerned about this?" Lupin asked. He was asking all the questions; Hagrid was speechless.

"Of course not. I've seen how happy Severus has been the past few weeks. Everyone has. She's about to graduate, I say we let them be. And you, my most esteemed colleagues? What do you think?" he asked, looking all three of them in the face.

"Well, we aren't going to stop them," Minerva said concededly.

"Severus has been rather agreeable here lately," Remus agreed.

Hagrid just nodded, he couldn't say a word.

Dumbledore chuckled. "Let's make sure it's them in this room, shall we?" With a flick of his wand, he muttered an incantation and the door to the room disappeared, and the four professors peered in.

Sure enough, there they were. Hermione leaning against the wall with her arms wrapped leisurely around his neck, Severus's arms around her waist, snogging away.

"Well, who in the world woulda known it?" Hagrid finally said, finding his voice.

Dumbledore and McGonagall smiled. Lupin laughed and started to walk away, tripping over Hagrid's large foot and falling to the ground, making a spectacular racket. Severus and Hermione broke apart, looking at the four professors in front of them in horror.

"Professor Dumbledore… McGonagall… Hagrid… Lupin???" Hermione exclaimed, watching as Hagrid picked Lupin up off the ground.

"Albus, I—" Severus said, not knowing where to go with his words. Dumbledore shook his head.

"We thought this would happen eventually. Severus Snape would find love. And if it's with a student, so be it. She's graduating in a week. This will be kept between the six of us until then, agreed?" Severus's mouth dropped open, shocked at the accepting looks he was receiving from his colleagues.

"Agreed," Hermione and Snape said together. They ventured over to the other four, and they all put their hands on top of one another's.

Everyone else removed their hands, leaving Severus and Hermione's pressed together. They looked at each other, then back to the other four.

"You do know I know everything, right, Severus?" Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling. They all laughed.

And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

It's so peculiar.

There may be something there that wasn't there before.
