The next day found them outside trying to feed some birds.

'There something sweet and almost kind. But he was mean and coarse and unrefined and now he's dear. whyI didn't see it there before? Did he just start to show it?'

Hermione smiled as Severus tried to feed the birds but the keep flying away. Hermione walked over and helped him touching his paw, she gave him a small smile.

Severus was stricken by a sudden thought. 'She just looked at me and when she touched my paw she didn't look revolted... no it can't be. I'll just ignore it, but then nobody ever looked that way at me before.' Severus glanced sadly at Hermione. She was playing with birds, he shook his head looking down for thinking foolishly, 'She a beautiful, kind, smart, loving person, and I am just a monster. Stop thinking foolishly.'

'New and a bit alarming, who'd have thought that this could be? True, that's he is no Prince Charming. But there's something in him that I simply didn't see." Hermione smiled playing around as she threw a snowball at Severus, knocking him down.

"Your, going to pay for that witch." Severus growled with teasing tone.

"Come get me." Hermione smiled sticking her tongue out as Severus made a snowball, as the House Elves smiled watching close by.

"Well who'd have thought." Lou said happily as he watches on with Tippy.

"Who'd who have guessed that they come together on their own."

"We will wait at see a few days more,"

"there'll be something there that's wasn't there before." The two sang together as they happily dance.

Some time later, Severus and Hermione laid on a couch by the fireplace as they both read the House Elves watched with grins. A little while, Severus heard Hermione's soft snoring. Setting his book asigne Severus walked over to her taking his cape off and wrapping it around her. He also carefully pulled a strand of hair from her face and puts it behind it ear. Severus stared sadly at Hermione sadly sighed, knowing she deserve so mush better. He mentally hits himself for falling for someone knowing full well he doesn't deserve her kindness. Severus slowly walked out of the library and glared at his House Elves.

"Shouldn't you be working?" Severus glared.

"But master what if she is truly the one that's can break the spell?" Tippy asked happily.

"Wrong, its just Superman Syndrome, nothing more." Severus said coldly.

"Superman Syndrome? What's that's?" Lou asked puzzled.

"Its falling for someone who saved for life." Severus said, glancing at Hermione sadly. "This will pass, soon she will hate and be disgusted by my appearance again." He stated, knowing it's best to realise the painful truth now instead of a getting his hopes up.

"But, Master. We see you like her." Tippy said sadly.

"No I don't." Severus said lying. He wasn't going to confess his feeling and have Hermione laugh at how pathetic he is, or worse pity him. "I don't feel anything, and I will not say a thing. She is a young, strong, intelligent, brave, independent, passionate woman, and I'm just a monster. We will ignore this and carry on same as always." Severus said coldly as stalked up to his room.
