Chapter 1 The Beginning

'How the hell am I supposed to get his attention!' Hermione thought annoyed. It was the middle of potions and she'd been trying to get his attention all class. 'Bloody dungeon bat would you notice me already' She was getting desperate, she was seriously considering messing up her potion just so he would look at her, but she couldn't do that could she? Very soon a divious plan was forming in her mind. If he wouldn't take notice of her appearence (she'd been shortening her skirt gradually over the last week) then she'd have to make a mistake in her potion. Quickly she slipped an extra ingrediant into her potion knowing what it would do. Her potion change from the lavender it had been to a sickly green. His head snaped up to look at her. 'YES' she silently cheered. 'Finnaly'

Stalking over to her table he growls, " Ms. Granger do you wish to blow up your class mates because that is what will happen if you continue to be so careless." With a snarl on his face her vanished her potion. "You will stay after class to disscuss your punishment for you incompitance."

Cleaning up the rest of her stuff Hermione began to think that maybe this wasn't such a good idea. ' What am I going to tell him. I don't make mistakes like this. Shit why didn't I think this out. What the hell am I going to do?' The rest of the class passed by in a blur and before she new it the class was over. She still didn't have an explination. 'What am I going to do?'

The class room cleared of the last of the class, with Harry and Ron bringing up the rear. They cast looks over their shoulders that asked if she wanted them to wait outside for her. She shook her head and turned back to face their professer.

"Ms. Granger come here," came Snapes voice from behind his desk. She trudged up to his desk, still trying to find an explination for her mistake. She reached his desk and stared down at her feet.

"Look at me Ms. Granger," he commanded. She looked up slowly. "Can you please explain to me why you made such a stupid mistake? I'd expect a mistake like that from Potter or Weasly, not you."

"I..I...I...don't know sir," Hermione stuttered.

"Your lieing Granger. Now tell me why you added an extra ingrediant to your potion."

"I can't sir."

"Now why can't you Granger?"

"I...I...I..."

"Spit it out girl!" Snape snapped.

"I..I..did it to get your attention, sir."

"What this? You did it to get my attention. Now why would you do that Ms. Granger?"

'Fuck what do I say now? I can't tell him the truth, but he'll know if I lie. And if I don't tell him he can just look into my mind and find out. What am I going to do.' Thought Hermione franticly.

"The clocks a ticking ."

' I have to tell him.'

"Sir, the reason I wanted to get your attention is...that I have...a...crush on you," she confessed, heat rising to her cheeks.

"Well that took you long enough. Ms. Granger I have known this fact for several weeks now."

"What!" spluttered Hermione.

"I was simply waitting till you mustered up that legendary Griffindor courage, and took some form of action." he told her smirking.

'What! He knew all along? FUCK!'
