Enjoy!

A knock on the door brought him out of his musings, he wasn't in the mood for company going to the door with the intention of telling whoever it was to get lost. When he opened the door he found Draco standing on the other side.

"What do you want?" Severus asked in a tone that would tell most anyone that he was in no mood for company.

"Well hello to you too, I was out today so I went by the school but they said you had come home for the weekend so I thought I'd see if you wanted to get some lunch."

"Not really, if that is all….."

"What's the matter?" Draco asked quickly before the door was shut in his face.

"Nothing that you need….."

"Don't give me that, what happen?"

Severus walked away from the door knowing that Draco wouldn't leave until he got an answer, sometimes the boy was more trouble than either of his parents ever thought of being.

"So what happen?" Draco asked as they walked into the sitting room.

"What makes you think something happen?"

"Oh I don't know, could be that you look terrible. So what gives?"

"Nothing."

"Don't give me that, something is up."

Severus sat down before finally saying,

"I went to see Hermione last night about filing a grievance against Kaseload."

"I thought you had done that weeks ago."

"I was busy, so I went to see if she would file a joint complaint since we were the two most affected by his lies."

"Let me guess, it didn't go well."

"No it didn't."

"What did you expect?"

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Just what I asked, did you think that you'd show up and all would be forgiven? I heard some of the things you said to her at times, it's not going to be easy."

"I thought I would make more headway than what I did."

"It's going to take time, if you are not willing to invest it then I suggest you forget her."

"Who's side are you on?"

"Yours, but you would have to see yourself from where I am. If seeing her is going to upset you this much then….."

"Stop, I don't want to hear it."

"All I'm saying is…."

"I've made up my mind, I'll do whatever it takes. It's just going to take longer than I thought."

"How can I help?"

"Excuse me?" Severus couldn't have been more shocked if the dark lord had come dancing through his sitting room dressed in drag singing Sweet Transvestite.

"What? I can see, I know somewhere deep down she has cared for you for a long time or she wouldn't have spent all that time sitting with you while you were in a coma at St. Mungo's."

"What?" Severus asked a little too loudly.

"You didn't know this?"

"Of course not, why would she do that?"

"You'd have to ask her."

"I will, if she ever allows me in her house again."

"She will."

"How do you know?"

Draco had no intention of answering that question, there was no way Severus or Granger could ever know that Potter and him had taken upon themselves to get these two stubborn people back together. There was also no way he was going to be the one to tell him that he was there the night she had the last miscarriage or what he did. So he went with his original question.

"How can I help?"

"I have no idea."

"You know grand gestures would work wonders."

"I'm not going to….."

"I know you're not one for them, but that only means it would mean a lot more coming from you."

"I wouldn't know where to begin."

Draco shook his head, how did someone become Severus' age and not know how to get a woman. Of course he knew the answer to that also, Lily Potter. Well maybe now was the time for a crash course in how to woo a woman.

"If your serious, start with a clean slate." Draco said.

"That's what I was trying to do."

"Well with your history it's going to take longer than a day or two."

"I've been trying to work up to seeing her for four years now."

"But still you have to give her time to use her mind on what you divulged to her, I take it that's what you did."

"Yes."

"What did she say?"

"Something about not being able to hear anymore today after last night and this morning. She asked me to leave so I did."

"Did she leave an opening for you to see her again?"

"She said she would contact me, though now that I think about it she left the wizarding world."

"She still talks to Potter, I'm sure she has access to his owl."

"I suppose."

"You know once you tell her everything you want to your going to have to listen to her."

"I already have, too some of it anyway. I would have never thought she could be so…."

"So like you? You taught her well."

"I suppose I did, it's what I taught her that makes me wonder about myself."

"So change."

Draco made it sound so simple, but wasn't that what he was trying to do?

"I've been trying to."

"I know, but it's going to take time. Hell you treated her badly for five years, you cannot undo that over night."

"I beginning to find that out."

"Good, now how about some lunch?"

Author's Note: Comments really do make me smile and brighten my day.

The song Sweet Transvestite is from the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show, which in my warped sense of humor I found funny and that Severus would know about this movie being raised in the muggle world. If anyone is interested there is a link in my profile to the clip from the movie on youtube. Honestly, after seeing that movie I could never see Tim Curry the same way again. I always have flashes of seeing him in drag and makeup singing this song, which in turn has me LMAO.

Also I wanted to let you know that I have a couple of Severus/Hermione videos on youtube, the link is in my profile.
