A few days passed and I spent them with Neville and Draco when they had the time. I wondered the castle when classes were on, spending a lot of my time in the library. The headmistress didn't hesitate when granting me a visitor pass and said I could stay as long as I wanted. Four days was the maximum usually but she said it didn't apply to me. I wasn't allowed to eat in the great hall during meal times but I could do pretty much anything else. I hadn't seen Snape at all and honestly I was grateful, I didn't really know what to think of him at the time and I wouldn't know what to say if he spoke to me at all, even though it was unlikely he would.
Draco had managed to find my luggage, it was still in the potions classroom but was neatly stacked by the door on the inside, as if awaiting collection. I was just glad he hadn't chucked it.
“So I was thinking...” Draco started. Here we go, I thought. Here came another of Malfoy's theory's about Snape. I wanted to roll my eyes, I looked over at Neville who did that for me. As much as he agreed Snape probably loved me he was getting equally tired of Draco's words about the dungeon bat.
“Draco...” Neville said.
“Wait, just hear me out.” Both me and Longbottom sighed but gave up already. “He thinks you and Neville are creaking bed springs right?” I burst into laughter in the middle of the library.
“Oh Draco... But yes, that's what he said, in a less colourful way.” I giggled some more before getting back to my book.
“Then I think you and Neville should like, make out, right in front of him to see what his reaction is.” Before I had the chance to, Neville started choking on thin air. I just looked at the blonde.
“Excuse me?!” Neville yelped almost instantly. He was beating me at all my reactions today, I needed to keep up.
“No, wait. Don't dismiss it so soon. This could work! Hermione don't look at me like I've started growing mushrooms out of my nostrils. Just think about it...” He was slightly frantic but had a determined glint in his eyes which made me think that no matter what I or Neville said, we were going to end up doing it.
“It's a terrible idea.” I said finally and looked back at my book.
“She's right, I'm not kissing her.” Neville added and looked back at his paperwork.
“Jeez, ouch Nev, be gentler to me. I'm scarred!” I chuckled at his horrified expression.
“No! That's not what I meant! I meant... I meant like... You are kissable 'Mione, just not... You know...” He stammered and mumbled trying to find the right words without being insulting. I laughed and reached over.
“It's okay, I know what you meant.” I grinned at him, he relaxed a little. After several more attempts to convince us to change our minds, we finally managed to dismiss the idea from Draco even though I was sure we wouldn't at one point.
Me and Neville walked together back to his chambers, we were silent.“You know I'm starting to think it's a good idea.” He stated as we trundled along. I wanted to gape.
“No offence to Draco but he's not the brightest bean when it comes to certain things. I really don't wanna start hatching plans to get with Snape. What makes him even think I want that. I just want my job back.” I whispered the last part.
“You and I both know that's a lie. It's written on your face how you really feel, I can't believe you don't even know.” Silence passed.
“How do I feel then?” I asked and looked at him, hopeful that he could shed some light.
“You'll figure it out.” He smiled and grabbed my hand as we walked. It was past curfew and everyone was in bed. It was dark in the halls and we walked along, me holding a flame in a jar. It was just bright enough to take the edge off the blackness but not bright enough to disturb the sleeping portraits. He stopped me suddenly and looked around before extinguishing my small light and plopping the jar on the floor. I couldn't see a thing all of a sudden and panicked.
“Neville-”
“Relax, I just figured we could go for a practice run before the real thing so that it's not so weird...” He sounded embarrassed and I wanted to cringe. Was I really going to kiss my best friend in the world? My best gay friend?
“Neville, this is silly...” I whispered, not really sure why, I mean we were alone. He laughed knowingly.
“I haven't kissed anyone since Luna, sorry if it sucks.” I felt his breath in front of my mouth but couldn't see a thing, not a single thing. I yelped a little when I felt his lips on mine, they were still for what felt like minutes, the type of kiss that one would give their grandma when they're a child. Then he pulled away slightly and sighed awkwardly before wrapping his arms around my torso like he did on many occasions and landing his lips on mine again, this time they moved and mine moved with them, it was strained and so uncomfortably awkward that I wanted to scream, laugh and hide under the floor tiles all at the same time. He pulled away again, this time I sighed.
“I can't be convincing, it's just too weird...” I confessed to the blackness. I heard his embarrassed laugh.
“Yeah I know... I feel the same. Sorry 'Mione... Maybe just think I'm someone you fancy, it's dark after all... Unless I'm really that much of an awful kisser.” He trailed off a little. Maybe I was thinking too much about this, if anything it was harmless, and it was dark. I reached out, trying to feel him and my hands came in contact with his shirt and I yanked him forward. I wasn't half as graceful as he was and missed his mouth but I eventually got there in the end. It started out as awkward as the last one, then I let my mind wonder to something else, nothing too specific, my lips moved gently, his moved too. I thought of random attractive faces, dark hair, my tongue reached out and met his lip and he jumped. It's not Neville, it's not Neville. I told myself as he gave me passage and rubbed our tongues together, he wrapped his arms gently around me, groping my ass and tilting my head back for better access. His tongue explored my mouth gently as our movements became softer and our bodies less tense. I held the shirt and my mind replaced it with dark robes with lots of buttons. I panted out and whimpered when I flashed to the alley way, his hands on my hips, shuddering as he emptied in me. I groaned and knotted my hands in his hair. I wanted him. Our kiss deepened and became more heated, somewhere in my mind a little red light went off. I felt a hard object against my stomach and made a lewd sound before I got gently pinned with my back against the wall.
Out of no where a bright blinding light came into view and I stared right into Nevilles dazed face. It took us both a second to really focus on eachother before in unison our eyes widened and we jumped so far away from eachother it might have been offensive if we didn't know any better. Before I had the chance to register that side of things, I snapped my head towards the random light right beside us. Without even having to guess I knew who it was, the dark hair and hook nose gave it away and I blushed before even realising why. You were just thinking about him, while kissing your best friend. Which by the way was way more than it should have been. I closed my eyes, really wishing the world would swallow me right then and there so I wouldn't have to deal with it, ever.
“Well, well...” The dark wizard whispered, looking from my shocked blushing face to Neville's. We bore the same expression of horror but I think it was from what we just did rather than being caught, but Snape thought it was the latter. “What do we have here?” Usually when he spoke that way he had an air of amusement about him, it was a terrifying spectacle, this time however his face was hard and untelling. I was panting and my body was on fire, I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about that considering who had actually made me that way but the reason behind it was stood right there, wearing black robes and a sour expression. I wanted to jump his bones and that realisation alone made me feel a bit dizzy. Neville coughed and straightened himself out.
“Professor.” He greeted curtly as though he hadn't just witnessed us practically dry humping eachother in the middle of a school. I patted down my clothes and straightened my collar before standing next to my best friend.
“Evening Professor.” I added. If he caught us I was going to go all the way with this. I held Nevilles hand, it was sweaty, as was mine. Snape looked impassive and uncaring.
“Miss Granger, having sex in the middle of a corridor is a terrible idea but I can't imagine you having any more self restraint. I'm surprised you even waited until it was dark.” He drawled. I'm surprised my jaw didn't made a sound as it slammed right into the floor.
“W-what?” I stammered.
“Mister Longbottom. Lewd intimate activities such as this outside of your personal chambers could cost you your job. You understand this don't you?” He said to Neville, who took his words better than I did. He looked at him levelly in the eye.
“Yes, sir. I do.” He said stiffly. I closed my eyes. Shit. This was so messed up. Snape looked like he was about to leave. “Since I might lose my job anyway I just wanted to say, sir. How dare you speak to her that way.” He added. I snapped my head at him with wide eyes. What was even more surprising was how calm he looked, he just berated the darkest wizard still alive today and he didn't look half as terrified as I felt and it wasn't even me who said it. When I noticed Snape's expression my heart sank through the floor to meet my jaw and I sorely wished it would take me with it. He's gonna die. He'll be killed, he's dead, gone forever. My mind raced as the potions master came nose to nose with him.
“How dare I?” He seethed. I watched the exchange, heart hammering away in my chest, so hard I thought I was going to fly away.
“How dare you.” Neville repeated his words, scowling directly at the wizard. I had to hand it to him, he was so brave I wanted to kiss him all over again for his valiancy. I knew then that sure, what just happened between us was really weird but nothing would break up our friendship. As over reacting as it sounded, he was willing to potentially die at the hands of a former death eater for me and that was enough. I tugged on his hand.
“Come on Neville.” I was gentle with my words, watching Snape like he was a wild animal about to kill his prey.
“She's an amazing person, you'll regret throwing her out.” He added while I slowly dragged him away.
“That's enough.” I said and tugged him harder.
“She's the only one capable of filling in for you and you know it.” He raised his voice back at the surly man and I shushed him and dragged him further out of sight and around the corner. We waited there for a few seconds as we saw Snape's lumos go out, we didn't hear or see anything else for a few minutes. After I deemed it safe I turned to him in the dark. Not even sure he was where I thought he was and just whispered angrily into the blackness.
“Are you crazy?!” Nothing answered me back and I gently withdrew my wand and flicked a lumos, I knew it would disturb the paintings but I left the jar back there and I wasn't inclined to go back for it. When I saw Neville he was looking at his hands and they were shaking.
“Oh my God, did I just do that?” He looked up at me and he looked a bit paler than he ought to have done. I assumed that maybe it only just hit him, the realisation of what just went down. I smiled at him calmly and took his hands.
“C'mon, we need to get back.” I spoke to him on the way back about him losing his job over me.
“I don't regret it, 'Mione. He had no right.” He looked straight ahead, a hardness in his face that I only noticed when he was hurt by someone else. I felt my heart swell a little. “I love you 'Mione, like my sister...” He paused. “... I'm sorry about earlier.” I didn't even need to think for a second and I already knew what he was on about. I shifted awkwardly when we stepped inside his room. We stood in inflated silence for a minute too long before he said; “I was thinking about Draco.” When I looked at him his face was almost scarlet and his eyes were so tightly shut I only saw his eyebrows. An excited laugh bubbled up in my throat before I could stop it, this was new.
“D-Draco? As in Draco Malfoy?!” I screeched. He covered his hands over his face and shook his head.
“How many Draco's do you know?!” He said to his hands. I was giggling now, all that awkwardness was gone thanks to one little admission. I had to stop, he looked like he was going to pass out with the blood in his face. He sat and I joined him and held his hand.
“I'm sorry to say this Nev but I was daydreaming about Snape. So I suppose we're both guilty. Sorry for fantasising of other men while snogging you, love.” I giggled and squeezed his hand, he giggled back.
“You realise it then?” He asked.
“I think I already knew.” I said a little grim.
“That kiss doesn't change anything, right?” His face was worried. I just smiled.
“Nothing is ever gonna change us, Nev. I love you.” I kissed his cheek.
“I love you too, sis.” He smiled. I smirked at him and his faltered.
“Draco huh?”
“Urgh.”
“I don't know whether to be thrilled for you or offended that you thought I kissed like a man...” I giggled. His face was sheepish.
“You don't, you're too soft and smell sweet... Was still nice though.”
“Nice enough for... Umm...” I laughed when he blushed more.
“Can we never mention this again? Ever?”
“Sure thing... You know you have to tell Draco.”
“... I know.”
“Draco huh?”
“Shut up.”
…
“Don't say it.” He added.
…
…
…
“Draco...”
Neville threw a pillow at me and I squealed. I knew everything was going to end up okay, even if we both ended up jobless we'd have eachother and I realised I never wanted to be alone again.
