Will You or Won't You?
"Severus?" Hermione couldn't stand the suspense.
"Yes?"
"Aren't you…" She couldn't complete her question.
"Today was enough."
"But…it's not legal…"
"Hermione, even if they do realize, they won't instantly whisk you away to Malfoy's side."
Hermione sniffed, wishing she wasn't showing such weakness.
"There's time enough for that later."
"Later?"
"Much later. Don't fret."
They were silent for a moment.
"Thank you Severus. You're so kind." Hermione's tears came again.
Severus sighed. He knew it would be up to him to make this work. "I know you are probably repulsed by me but… if you'd like…"
"Yes?"
"I could…hold you."
I hope this isn't too OOC. I changed it a bit to make it less so.
Hope you liked. :D
