AN2: In celebration of me completely finishing this fanfiction today. COMPLETELY... I'm going to post another chapter this week. I will post probably the next three chapters over after the weekend, all through next week... since they are really short. Then I'll post the last two chapters the 2 weekends after that. Or something. You'll see. Deal with it, yo. Lol. Off to rewatch Tangled and The Runaways. They are my two current favorite movies if anyone cares! Ta!
MISS Granger, you will address me as Professor Snape while we are on school grounds. Now, I will see you tomorrow in potions class, I have some things to care of.
Hermione's mouth quickly fell open; the sudden change in demeanor shocked her into silence.
"The door is behind you, Miss Granger." Severus said harshly.
Hermione was looking at her feet now, "Professor Snape," She said quietly, "I'm sorry. I'll see you in class tomorrow."
Not only was Hermione completely devastated, but she was confused too. Had she said something that made him angry?
She slowly replayed the events of everything in her head, trying to figure out where it had gone wrong.
She turned to leave the classroom, leaving Snape with the book in his hand to study the potion that had leaked onto it. Absentmindedly, her hand went to her throat and she realized she still had the necklace he had bought her. Tears threatened to come, but she managed to choke them down.
Nothing had gone wrong. She knew he had feelings for her. She could tell. Maybe he didn't like how strong she'd come on.
Thoughts whizzed through her head quicker and quicker. Was it bad? It wasn't her first time. She wasn't bad. How dare he! Was he just using her? Was it a spell? Was it the potion that had spilled on the book? What was it that made him change so suddenly?
She made her way to her dorm with the tears fighting to spill from her eyes, but she wouldn't let them win. All she knew was these next few days would feel like she was dying. Her heart and stomach both ached with longing as she got to the portrait of the fat lady, trying to forget the fairytale she and Severus had woven for themselves within the book, a fairytale that did not have its happy ending.
'Way to let her down easy, Severus' the professor was telling himself as he tried to concentrate on the potion on the book, 'I obviously didn't know how to handle that.'
He laid his head in his palm and sighed.
"Oh, Merlin, what have I done?" He spoke out loud, "I want to blame this on the potion, but it wasn't. It was me. It was her. It was the way she made me feel. How could I have been so weak? She's just a child."
The potion, as he found out, had somehow been a transporting potion with some time travelling qualities. Nothing even remotely hinting at a love or lust potion. At least if he had something magical to blame it on he wouldn't have felt as bad.
Why had he slept with a student? Why would he put his job... or his heart... on the line like that? Had she really wanted it? He was the adult. He was supposed to protect the students, not sleep them. Oh Merlin, what if he had taken her virginity?
This wasn't the time to think about these things. After a nightcap and a good night of sleep he would return the book and let her know that he was sorry that he pushed himself on her. Also, that it could never happen again. It would be hard on him too. After all, they had gone from such a close relationship back to a student/teacher capacity... it was going to be hard on the both of them. She didn't need an old man pining after her.
To be fair, he didn't need a young school girl lusting after him either. He was going to have to set this straight. No matter how beautiful the schoolgirl was... or how smart... how funny... how interesting... no matter how much he wanted to be with her at the moment... it would prove too hard and he had to do the right thing.
Hermione was now in bed, but she couldn't make herself sleep no matter what she did.
'Maybe he was just doing the right thing', she thought to herself, 'Maybe he doesn't want me to have to worry about him while I'm finishing up the school year. Still... he didn't need to be such an asshole about it.'
She turned over in the bed and wrapped the blanket closer around her. Crookshanks jumped off the floor to snuggle beside her and went back to sleep himself.
'I wish I could fall asleep that easy.' She thought glumly, 'I guess I'll just deal with everything as it comes. Ignore him and pretend nothing ever happened... pretend that that wonderful, life-changing event didn't take place. Pretend... that that wasn't a fucking revelation.'
She wanted to scream into her pillow. It was too much.
Severus had had his nightcap now and was lying down in his bed. His bed for the first time in a long time, even though in reality it hadn't even been a day. No one would ever know that anything had gone on between him and Miss Granger.
'Hermione.' he thought bringing a small smile to his lips, 'Heeeer-miiiiio-neeee.' He let her name trail off in his head. He had to admit he had it bad, but it was for the best. No more of this. It was time to grow up and get some rest.
'I'll be damned if I start writing our names everywhere with little hearts all around it. Imagine. Me? Doodling on a bloody scroll... Mrs. Hermione Snape. Preposterous!' He laughed to himself at the thought and then immediately frowned, 'What an ass I am.'
He turned in the bed and watched the full moon out the window stare back at him as he drifted off to sleep.
