Chapter six
Yes I Meant It
Minutes latter they stepped away from their embrace only to look at each other for a moment. Then as if gravity called them together they kissed. It wasn't staged as Hermione had demonstrated earlier, but a real kiss. A slow lasting kiss that would remain etched in both of their memories. It was becoming a bit passionate when the door of the class room opened. However, they did not hear for they were too busy.
Someone cleared their throat from somewhere neat the door and Snape and Hermione parted.
"We… we were just practicing the kissing scene. After all it is only two scenes away from Point of No Return," Hermione offered as an explanation to who ever it was.
"I would prefer, Hermione, if you left me out of what ever you to be doing," said Ginny Weasley from the door. "Professor Flitwick wants both of you back in the teachers' lounge we are going to practice a few more scenes."
Hermione looked at Snape and he nodded. They both followed anyway. Ginny's back was to them and Hermione and Snape were mouthing different words to each other. Hermione was the first, "Did you mean that kiss?"
"Of course."
"Really?"
"Yes, Hermione, I meant that kiss."
"That wasn't just practice for the stage one?"
"No it wasn't. Stop worrying."
"I will."
"Did you mean that kiss?"
"Yes, I did."
"Good."
They turned a corner and were at the door to the teacher's lounge. Ginny opened the door and they entered.
"Okay I want every one to gather around and we are going to try the sequence to Hannibal," Flitwick said and everyone did as they were told.

Hark to our step on the ground!

Gentlemen, gentlemen...

Monsieur Lefevre, I am rehearsing.
Blaise Zambini:
Monsieur Reyer, Madame Giry, ladies and gentlemen,
Please if I could have your attention, thank you.
As you know, for some weeks there have been rumours of my imminent retirement.

McGonagall:
Christine Daaé, promising talent, Monsieur Firmin, very promising.
Harry:
Daaé, you say? No relation to the famous Swedish violinist?
McGonagal:
His only child, orphan at 7, when she came to live and train in the ballet dormitory.

An orphan, you say!
McGonagall:
I think of her as a daughter myself. Please, gentlemen if you would step this way.

The trumpeting elephants sound, hear, Romans, now and tremble!
Hark to their step on the ground, hear the drums! Hannibal comes!
Romilda:
All day! All they want is the dancing! Well, I hope your new patron is as excited by dancing girls as you two. Because I will not be singing!
Harry:
Monsieur Reyer, isn't there a rather marvelous aria for Elissa in Act Three of "Hannibal"?
Romilda:
Yes, but I have not my costume for act three. Because someone not finish it!
Draco:
Perhaps if Signora...
Romilda:
Yes...Yes...Monsieur Reyer?
Dean:
If my diva commands.
Romilda:
Yes I do.

Senora.
Romilda:
Maestro.

"Scene," piped a little voice and everyone left.
If you liked the chapter leave a review if not leave a review. I like them even the not so nice ones. They're all okay. For about the next four chapters or so they should be coming out in quick succession but then the process will get slower, 'cause after like chapter 10 I don't have eany more already typed chapters so bear with me.
