AN2: Hey all! All the chapters are written. The next few are really short and I already know how I'm going to do the update, so it should be over soon. Sadly, but at the same time, not. :D I never thought I'd finish it. :D Also, when I say REALLY short... I mean REALLY short. The next 3 updates will be teeny. So, just be prepared. Chapters 17 and 18 are longer and then this fairy tale ride will be over. Will it be a happy ending? Will it be a sad ending? Who knows! Lol. Right now I'm taking a short break before deciding if I'm going to continue with I Spy or A Mask of Gold first. Hmm. :D But, for now... I dine on Chinese food and watch some movies. BTW, everyone... feel free to add me on Facebook, I always post updates there. Search 'Mallow Cakes'. I'm the only one with a picture. :D Keep smiling!
Severus woke up the next morning ready to give Hermione her book andto be able to forget everything that happened with them between the pages and to never think about the events that it had caused ever again. Ready didn't mean that he wasn't still having flashbacks of her naked body on his, but he was at least going to do his best to pretend he was ready to forget it all.
He strode to the Great Hall, his cloak billowing ominously around him as he walked. He was back in his place of power. No one to see him at his weakest anymore. He kept his head held high as he walked past the Gryffindor table only to notice that Hermione wasn't sitting at her normal spot. He raised an eyebrow as he stopped and stood within ear's reach of Weasely and Potter.
"I'm telling you, Harry." Weasley was saying, "I've never seen her act like that. She didn't say hello to me or anything. She just walked right past me."
"Are you sure, Ron?" Harry replied, "Maybe she just went to the library to study. N.E.W.T.s are coming up soon, you know."
"This was different. Even Hermione doesn't skip breakfast. You know how serious she is about health. She was sniffling about and saying something about going to see Myrtle."
"Myrtle, Ron? You're mad! Hermione wouldn't go see Myrtle for no reason. No one would."
"I know what I heard, Harry."
"Maybe we should go check on her."
"I think she wants to be alone right now."
Severus had heard what he needed to hear. He wasn't going to skip the chance to get this over with so he turned on his heel and headed straight to the second-floor girls' lavatory.
When he got there, he knocked quietly on the door. There were sounds of movement inside and then a faraway familiar voice telling him to come in. When he did, there was no one in sight, just the long rows of stalls and sinks.
He walked slowly down the center, listening for where she could be when he heard a slight sniffle somewhere to his left. Glancing farther into the room he could make out her shoes in a stall.
"Hermione, is that you?" He cringed at the use of her first name. He couldn't take it back now.
"P-p-professor Snape?" Her voice was stiff as she answered.
"Yes."
The door to the stall opened slowly and she walked out, holding her head up. Her eyes were rimmed with bright red but it was clear that she was trying to hide that she'd been crying.
"While we're in this school, you will address me as 'Miss Granger', you bastard." She said calmly, folding her arms across her chest.
"I suppose I deserved that."
"You suppose, do you?"
"Okay, I did deserve that, but I didn't come here to fight."
"What did you think we were going to do, Severus?" She slung his name at him, "Certainly not a repeat performance."
"No." He knitted his eyebrows together.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to return you book." He said, lamely, handing the book to her. He felt like he was back in the book and young again. Like he was being scolded by his mother.
"Oh." She said, softening her stance and taking the book from him, "Fine, I've got my book. Now, leave."
"Hermi- Miss Granger," He corrected himself when her eyebrow shot up, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry that I acted how I did after... after what happened. But, you must understand that what happened shouldn't have. I was the adult and I should've acted like an adult. I'm your teacher and I should've protected you. Yes, even from me, and I didnt I."
"That's why you acted like a prat? You're my teacher? Are you kidding me? First of all, I don't think it was your decision. Secondly, you're not going to be my teacher very much longer. I thought you cared about me!"
"I..." do. He finished in his head. No, he couldn't let her know. It wasn't right. He had to let her live and chase after boys her own age, "I, um, that's the other thing. The potion, Miss Granger. It was a lust potion and a powerful one at that. I think the side effects still haven't worn off."
"You mean to tell me I won't feel like this forever?"
"Like what?"
"Like my heart's been ripped in two?" She started crying. The tears had finally broken through.
Snape's heart skipped a beat when he saw the pain he was causing her, but he had to be strong.
"No," He said, swallowing hard, "You won't feel like that much longer." He lowered his head and tuned to walk away.
"Severus!" She called after him, "Severus!"
He stopped without turning to look at her."
"I can't do this!" She cried, running after him and stepping in front of him.
His eyes were closed and he refused to speak or look her in the eyes.
Without another thought she kissed him as hard as she could and just for a moment... one brief and shining moment he kissed her back.
He realized where he was and what was going on and immediately pulled her off of him and swooped out of the room. His cape wafting around him, he rushed to his bedroom. He obviously couldn't trust himself to be alone with her.
