"Come on, it's one dance. What's the worst that could happen? I mean Professor Sprout is dancing with Neville."
"First off, I don't dance."
"I heard otherwise from a blond-haired ferret-faced Slytherin."
"Second, you are my student."
"So? It's not like I'm asking you out on a date."
"Third, you dislike me greatly."
"Harry and Ron dislike you greatly. I have always admired you, sir."
"One dance, Miss Granger," he finally agreed. She smiled allowing him to lead her onto the dance floor. Draco had been right. Professor Snape was quite a dancer. Hermione made a mental note to thank him for this information.
The song ended and Professor Snape made his way back to the head table.
"You two would make quite a pair," Professor Dumbledore commented. Snape choked back a laugh.
"She's a student, Albus."
"Not for much longer. She's applied to take her N.E.W.T early."
"And you're point?" There was no way he could honestly be suggesting...could he?
"It means, if you want her, make a move before Potter or Weasley does, Severus," Professor McGonagall muttered nearly rolling her eyes. "We all know how you've been looking at her." Snape narrowed his eyes watching the Weasley boy step on Hermione's toes in an attempt at dancing. He glanced at Albus and Minerva.
"Just don't...you know before she passes her exams." Severus rose and strolled the middle of the dance floor, students parting in his wake.
"May I cut in, Weasley?" Ron's face paled as he quickly stepped aside. Hermione blinked for a second.
"May I have this dance, Miss Granger?"
"I thought you said you didn't dance, sir."
"Yes, well, certain things have come to my attention."
"Ahh, that would change things, now wouldn't it?" She smiled at him as he twirled her across the dance floor.
"Besides, it's not as if I'm asking you out on a date...yet."
