Perceptions versus Reality
"Was it as disgusting as you thought it would be?" Severus remarked to a still perched on his lap Hermione.
"Severus, if I thought it would be disgusting, I wouldn't have asked."
"True enough."
"You have such a low opinion of yourself…" Hermione berated him, her embarrassment gone.
"I believe it is usually the other way around- others have a low opinion of me."
"Well, I don't." Hermione countered.
"Indeed?"
"Severus… you practically – you did rescue me, and we work well together. Of course I like you."
"Indeed." Severus mumbled before kissing her once more.
He just couldn't help himself.
