"Severus!You know you can trust me. I could help you"Hermione said looking at him.

"I know. You are my safe rock. My everything. And I am afraid that I will lose you"

Hermione slapped him.

"You know I would never to do this. That you would never lose me. No matter what happens. No matte what you say. Even if you push me away. Or better said if you try to"

Severus put his hand over the red mark on his face

"You slapped me!"

"Yes, I did"she answered with a smirk."I wanted to make you see reason, because I am never letting go. I new to know what has happened, what it's bothering you. What the Headmaster had done this time. Or what he had not"

Severus felt a wave of gratitude and love wash over him. He couldn't believe that this amazing creature was his. That Hermione, the ever loyal one would betray anyone to be with him and that she was determined to not letting anything break them apart... He was astounded by how fortunate he was and how much he loved her.

He wished he was a better person, that he could offer her more than he had, he wished the best for him, but well he could not. He didn't have much. He couldn't offer her anything. Just his heart and that she had stolen it a long time ago.

He had tried to push her away, Severus smiled remembering her steady and determined face when she had told him that he would never succeed in his doing no matter what he did. Even if he hurt she would stay for him. She had made him see reason.

Of course he would have never hurt her,but back then she did not know. She knew now. And she did not abuse the power she had over him. She was a person, in fact she was the only person he trusted with all his heart. The only one for him.

His rock. She supported him with everything. It wasn't easy to be with him. It wasn't easy to be his friends, proof that he was a very difficukt men was the lack of said friends. Beside Albus and Lucius he had none. But Albus despite of the fact that he did care for him, the old man cared very much;he alsowaa using him as a spy and Lucius...Lucius always did what suited him best. He cared for Severus, but not as much as for Cissa and Draco. And Severus understood perfectly. After all he would never love, could never love anyone more than Hermione. Lily was a ghost of the past long gone

And all thank to Hermione who had managed to get through him and who had proven herself to him. She was his everything.

So he would tell her what Dumbledore had asked of him. She was a reasonable person, she would hear him out..

"Albus had asked me to kill him"he said staring in her eyes.
