Apprentice

A/n: So I'm happy today :D Its hot, like 102 degrees right now…but I live in texas so its alright. Im updating because im sunburned ): Ugh. ANYWAY you guys don't care. So this chapter is dedicated to Gringotts713I hope you enjoy it! Oh before I forget, I get the same question a lot "Why does Harry mad at Hermione?" Well he isn't mad at her. He feels guilty for not stopping Ron and is afraid to talk to her.

Hermione looked at the book on her dresser, it remaindered her of him. She had finished reading it about an hour ago, it was now one in the morning and she could not sleep. She decided that she would return the book, maybe a walk would make her tired. She slipped out of bed, in blue shorts and a black tank top and walked to the dresser and cradled the book to her chest. She walked out of her quarters and down the hall and stopped at the potion's classroom door. She opened it silently and walked in. She stopped and dropped the book loudly, with a bang.

"What are you doing up at this time Ms. Granger?" Snape questioned, looking up from his desk.

"I couldn't sleep…" She whispered.

"So you come to the dungeons?" His eyes bore into hers, she bit her lip. His eyes snapped to the lip caught between her teeth.

"I was returning the book." She bent down and picked it up, walking up to the desk, her bare feet making a patter sound as she walked on the cold stone.

He watched her as she walked up to him, he had never seen her dressed as such, well except for that day. Her pale legs glowed in the moonlight as she walked closer and closer to the desk.

"And I wanted to check on my potions."

"I stirred them an hour ago." He looked back down at the essay's he was grading.

"Why are you up?" She sat down in a desk in front of him.

"The same reason you are."

She glanced at the large stack of papers. "Would like me to help?"

He glanced up, as if debating and handed her half of the stack. She smiled and picked a quill up from his desk and began to read through the third years essay. She frowned as she read through each one. None of her stack had earned a Satisfactory yet. Her eyes began to droop as she got half way through her stack. Her eyes began to close as she read through another essay until finally she laid her head on the desk and fell asleep, breathing lightly.

"Ms. Granger are you done…." His voice softened as he glanced at the girl. Her face was relaxed and her lips were slightly parted.

In this moment, Severus was torn, carry her back to her room and be done with it, or lay her on the couch in his living room. He decided the right thing to do was take her to her own bed and let her sleep. He slowly stood up and walked over to the sleeping girl. He slowly leaned her back and bent down and wrapped an arm around her legs and one behind her back. He lifted up slowly and carried her to the door and out into the hallway. He walked to the painting of the back knight.

"Pixie sprouts." The knight raised his sword and shook his head. Snape's eyes narrowed, she changed her password?

She had indeed changed her password, the very same night.

Snape sighed and walked back to the dungeons and into the door that led to the lab. He walked by the table, then the bookshelf and then stopped in front of his door. Was his room clean? He scoffed, what was he a teen haphazardly throwing clothes under his bed five minutes before a girl came over? He was a grown man and he was going to act like one damn it! He opened the door and kicked it open and walked into his quarters. For a slit second he questioned what McGonagall would think, she was legal after all. Even though he was years older than her. If he confessed his feeling would that be an issue?

He shook his head, he was not confessing anything. He walked to the large couch and gently laid her down and walked to a closet and picked up a blanket and a extra pillow and made sure she was comfortable. He looked at her one last time and walked back to his classroom to finish grading essay's.

Hermione groaned and rolled over. She moaned in pain as she hit the floor and she sat up quickly. "Where am I?"

She rubbed her eyes and slowly stood up and looked around. She didn't know where she was, but where it was it was nice. She walked out of the living room and into another room. She looked around the large room and noted the king sized bed, the cover a deep black. Her eyes widened when she saw the initials engraved in the comforter.

'This is his bedroom. I must have fallen asleep.' She looked around, she knew she probably shouldn't be in here.

"Ms. Granger. Why are you snooping around my things?" She gasped and turned around. He was standing in the door way.

"I'm glad your awake, its noon."

Her cheeks heated up and she mumbled an apology. He turned and walked out of the door way and into the living room. She started to walk out and stopped noticing a shelf full of books. She walked closer and gasped.

"Muggle books?"

She heard footsteps and looked at him, he had taken his jacket off and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt. She smiled at him and walked put quickly. "Im sorry. I didn't mean to snoop."

He followed behind her as she walked out of the rooms and back into the classroom. 'Im going to change and ill be back."

"There is no need, I have to take a trip away for a few days." He looked at the girl, her smile faded.

"Oh. Okay…where are you going?"

"I have to collect more ingredients and few other things."

Hermione nodded. "Well…I will see you in a few days…."

"Goodbye Ms. Granger."

Hermione walked out of the classroom, why did she feel so sad? Snape watched her walk out and frowned. He walked back into his room and started to strip his clothing off. He then walked into the bathroom and starred at himself in the mirror. He frowned at the sight of his slightly bigger nose and his pale complexion. He turned away and got into the shower. He scrubbed his body hard, until it burned. He watched as the suds washed into the drain. He sighed and got out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed. He walked out of the bedroom and to the living room and stepped into the fireplace.

"Diagon Ally" He disappeared.

Hermione sighed and sat on her bed, bored. The day had flew by in a haze. She wondered what he was up too and if he was thinking of her. She sighed and laid down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

She missed him, and it had only been a few hours.

Severus Snape was miserable. He laid on his bed in a house at spinners end staring at the ceiling. He was many emotions to be specific. Anger being the more dominate one. He was angry because he knew she would not be happy, he was angry because he felt venerable, he was angry because he cared.

But most of all he was angry because he missed her.

An: Okay well it was really hard for me to write this. I kept getting distracted, it was just a short fluffy chappie. I hope you like it, review please!
