I walked through the dark empty corridors looking for any students that were up and snogging. I hated walking around in the dark by myself, but it was kind of nice to be alone just to think. And now my thoughts were strangly taken by a sneering potions master. The hot kind.

I heard a someone walk behind me and I turned around and cast a lumos.

"Snape? What are you doing here I thought you only checked the corridors on fridays" I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Obviously not since someone changed the schedule" He said and I just nodded and started to walk again, why was my heart beating so hard against my ribs?

"What are you doing?" Snape asked and I turned around.

"I'm patrolling"

"Why are you in this corridor? This is where I was supposed to check" He said and I frowned.

"No, I'm having this corridor and outside ravenclaw"

"That's where I'm supposed to walk" He said and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well I'm not moving"

"What makes you think I would" He said and swept past me. I resisted the urge to throw a hex at him while his back was turned and started to walk down the hall as well. The things Celeste had said about him bullying me to get my attention atually started to make sense. I glanced up at him and saw him watching me as well and he quickly looked away. Intresting...

A move behind us made us both turn around fast and we had both drawn our wands and we were standing even closer now than before.


"So I may have taken the wrong hallway" I lied and stepped into the light of their wands so they could see that it was me. Seeing them standing so close made me wanna jump with glee and at the same time wanting to turn around and run away before they started to do things a daughter really didn't want to see. I looked between them just to make them aware of the situation.

"Did I interrupt something?" I asked and raised an eyebrow at them. They looked at eachother and stepped away quickly, mom was blushing and dad moved his head a little so his hair covered the other half of his face.

"Absolutely not, what are you doing here?" Dad asked and I shrugged and tried to look as innocent as a slytherin could.

"I guess I took the wrong hallway, I have only been here for a day after all" I said and mom nodded. "But how come there needs to be two people watching this hallway?" I asked, like I didn't knew that. I was after all the one that had changed the schedule.

"We just made a misstake. I will go and watch another corridor and you will too and then you may go to bed" Mom said and I nodded and walked away. It felt just like when she used to send me to bed when I was little...Only I had always hugged her before I left.

I felt a stabb of sadness and I blinked away the rising tears. This was ridiculous, I was going to see mom again. Not Hermione Granger who I would see tomorrow, I would see my mom Hermione Snape again soon.

Soon...


The next day...

I walked into the staff room much earlier than usual, wondering why the old fool had put the meeting so early this evening. But no one was there except Granger. She sat reading a book wearing muggle jeans and a black simple sweater and a pin holding her hair up in a messy bun. She looked up at me when I walked in.

"Do you know why the meeting is placed so early tonight?" She asked and walked over to the table and took a glass of fire whiskey.

"Do I look like the crazy old man whu runs the school? No, I don't. So I can't possibly know that" I said and turned to her again. She rolled her eyes and slammed the book shut and walked over to me standing much closer than we had ever been.

"Would you just stop trying to piss me of, I know why you are doing it and would rather you to be more relaxed" She said and reached behind me to get a glass of whiskey herself. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Really? And why do I try to piss you off?" I asked and she smirked.

"I think you know that" She said and drank a little from her whiskey. Damn she looked hot. Her lips were slightly parted and the witch looked like the most experienced seductress in the world. Her eyes were almost black in the light of the fire and candles.

"Then I might as well ask why you always try to annoy me" I said and she looked at me.

"I'm trying to annoy you? I don't know what you are talking about" She said and I drank from my whiskey as well. Her eyes stopped at my lips for just a split second, just a bit closer...

"I think you do" I said and we just stood there looking at eachother for a moment. For just a breif second I saw her gaze move down to my lips and then up to my eyes again. I followed the line of her pink lips with my eyes and then met her gaze again.

So close...


I opened the door to check if they were there and that one of them had not fled through the floo or something. What I saw made me react almost the same as when I met them in the hall the other night. It looked like they were about to kiss and when I walked in they jumped away from eachother and that dreamy look they had had in their eyes dissapeared and was insted changed to embarrassment.

Fuck fuckity fuck! They had been so close! Why stupid idiot me did I have to open the stupid bloody fucking door? I stood looking at them for maybe three seconds too long.

"Oops" I said and closed the door again. I leaned against it and wanted to slam my head against the wall. Like they were seriously going to dare to kiss now.

"Well that was impressively stupid of you Celeste" I could hear Sebastian say in my head and I groaned. Then I saw Uncle Harry walk towards me with Sprout and Flithwick and I walked aside so they could open the door. There was no risk in them seeing mom and dad kiss now anyway.


Celeste closed the door again and I glanced at Snape. He wasn't looking at me, he was avoiding my gaze totaly. Damn I had been so close to kissing him! I wanted to kiss him...Say what? There was an awkward silence and then Harry and Flithwick stepped inside and I smiled at Harry and walked over to him and started talking.

He smirked at me. "What have you done now Hermione?" He asked and I blushed.

"Nothing" I snapped and he smirked even more.

"Really?"

"Harry James Potter if you don't shut your mouth-"

"I get it" He said and smiled and he glanced over at Snape and then back at me. "You naughty girl" He said and Flithwick looked at me in confusion. I then saw Celeste walk into the room and as soon as she did she sat down on one of the chairs and avoided any eye contact possible. I needed to tell her that she couldn't tell anyone what she had seen. I glanced over at Severus and saw him try to get eye contact with Celeste as well. I had almost kissed the man!

I didn't know if it was a goof or a bad thing. But I wanted to at least try to do it again, without an apprentice walking in on us.


I walked out from the meeting and started to walk to the room I had. It was rather nice that I didn't need to share a room with the students since I was only an apprentice.

"Celeste!" I jumped and screamed as two voices called my name. I turned around and saw mom and dad stand behind me. The two of them glanced at eachother like they didn't really know how to deal with me while the other one was there.

"People are you trying to scare me to death?" I asked and mom smiled apologetically while dad just raised an eyebrow at me. "What do you want?" I asked and they glanced at eachother again.

"You can't tell anyone about what you saw earlier" Mom said and I raised an eyebrow. Mom looked at me in confusion and then looked up at dad. Shit! I looked exactly like him when I raised an eyebrow like that! I looked normally at her and she looked back at me.

"And what did I see?" I asked and mom blushed and dads eyes narrowed at me.

"Nothing" He said and I nodded.

"Then I can only tell nothing" I said and smirked. "Is that so bad?" They both just looked at me and I nodded and turned around.

"You better get a room next time though" I said as I walked away. And god I really hoped they would get a room so I could go home!


I looked up at Snape who just looked after Celeste. I wanted to kiss him again, but would he let me? Snape glanced down at me but quickly looked away when he saw me looking at him. We stood there waiting for the other one to do something, but neither of us dared.

"I have exams to grade" He said and then walked away and I fled as well.
