Severus stood in the doorway of the Burrow as he watched Oliver leave with his daughter. Then he thought back to what she had just said. She had said 'see you tomorrow.' Then it clicked.

"I hope to Merlin that she comes back tonight." Severus thought to himself.

"Severus we were just about to start a game of chess would you like to play?" called Arthur Weasley from the house.

"Sure Arthur." Said Snape

"What are you worried about?" asked Arthur looking at Snape's face which Arthur thought that he could see the slightest phase of emotion cross his face.

"Nothing. What makes you think I'm worried?" Snape said defensibly

"Well you looked a little down that Hermione left the first night that you came back." Said Arthur quietly not wanting Snape to blow up at him.

"Well I am a little disappointed that she didn't want to stay here instead of going out with Wood." Severus spat out the last word as if it were poison.

"Well she said that she hadn't seen him in a couple of months so I guess its only natural to want to go out seeing that she would see more of you than she would him." Said Arthur rationally.

"I suppose you're right." Sighed Snape

"Come on let's see if you can beat Ron in chess he has set quite the record as of lately." Arthur was trying to get Severus to take his mind off of things.

While Snape was badly beating Ron in chess at the Burrow, Hermione and Oliver were enjoying themselves at the movies.

"I still don't understand what is going on in this movie." Whispered Oliver into Hermione's ear.

"Then when we have a weekend alone we shall watch the first two that way you can understand what's going on." Said Hermione. She didn't mind having to rewatch the beginning of the series of Narnia because she loved the books so much so she thought that Oliver would like something that he could somewhat relate to seeing as there was magic and strange creatures.

Once the movie was over, Oliver took Hermione to a little café that was not too far from his flat.

"So did you enjoy the movie?" asked Hermione when Oliver came back with their coffee.

"It was good but I think that you will have to show the first two." Said Oliver with a smile.

"I would like that." Said Hermione. Sometimes he just made her melt.

"Oh bloody hell! Oliver exclaimed as he looked down at his watch. "Your dad is gonna kill me if I don't get you home in time!" Hermione just laughed.

"Im not sixteen Oli. He's just gonna have to deal with the fact that I'm not a child anymore." Oliver didn't look to convinced but he let it go once they resumed their conversation again.

Around two o'clock in the morning Hermione returned to the burrow.

"I had a really great time tonight." Said Oliver as he leaned himself against the doorpost.

"Me too, next time maybe next time we could…" Hermione was cut off bye Oliver's lips.

"Okay you two that's enough!" Came Snape's gruff voice. They broke apart emeaditly.

"Dad!" came Hermione's voice but it wasn't in a surprised tone it was more in a 'I've been standing here this entire time' tone.

"Dad please go back to bed. I'm just talking with Oliver." Hermione mustered all of her Gryffindor courage. She had a feeling that her father wouldn't like the way she had just talked to him.

"At two o'clock in the morning?" Snape asked angrily

"I should go." Started Oliver feeling uncomfortable.

"No, Oli you can stay right here." Said Hermione grabbing his arm. While Snape just glared at him.

"No it's ok love, I'll be back tomorrow anyway because the guys and I are going to have a match out in the back. I'll see you tomorrow. Night Professor." Snape just nodded at him and then he turned to leave

"Fine, night Oli." Hermione said going to give him a hug. Oliver lifted her chin and gave her a quick kiss before he left.

"Night love, sweet dreams." With that he waved before he dissaparated.

Hermione turned around to glare at her father who looked like he was going to get ready for bed.

"How could you do that?" Hermione asked

"Do what? You're only…"

"I am twenty-two years old father! I am not a child so stop treating me like one!" then she stormed off to go to her and Ginny's room.
