Birthday and Letters

'Professor Snape...Professor! Professor can you hear me? Sir, its Hermione Granger...sir please can you hear me!' Hermione shouted at her unconscious Potions Professor.

'Hermione, he's gone.' Ron said as he tried to pull Hermione away.

'No! He's got a pulse Ron! We can't just leave him here.' She said as she searched for his pulse Severus's wrist.

'Hermione we have to go. Voldemort could come back. We can't stay here.' Harry said as he walked towards Hermione.

'We have to take him up to Hogwarts. Madam Promfrey will be able to save him. Please Harry...he's done so much for us we can't just leave him here to die alone.' She said as tears escaped her eyes.

'Can you apperate him back to the castle and then meet us at the black lake?' Harry asked.

'I think so.' She said. 'I'll try and be as quick as possible. Stay together.'

Hermione grabbed hold of the Professor's arm and apperated as near to the castle as possible. She managed to apperate to the entrance but just as she was about to cast a charm on the Professor to take him to the Hospital Wing she saw Death Eater's approaching.

She couldn't have them find her or the Professor. If they saw Severus they would finish him off for being a traitor and if they saw her she'd be killed. She grabbed hold of Severus's wrist again and appearated to Hagrid's Hutt. She pulled him into the small Hutt and placed him on the sofa.

There was no way she could get to school without being caught but the Professor needed help. She grabbed her wand and cast her Patronus to notify Poppy and Professor McGonagall that Severus was alive and needed help. She prayed they would come and help him.

Hermione looked at the Professor and again tried to get him to wake. She put her hand onto his cheek and softly called his name again but nothing arose him.

'I'm sorry I have to go.' She said to him although she was sure he couldn't hear her. 'I'll come back and see you if...if I survive this.'

She leant forward and placed a kiss on her Potions Professors' cheek and stood up. 'Please be alright.' She said and then she rushed out of the Hutt and apperated to meet Harry and Ron.

'Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Hermione, Happy Birthday to you!' voices sang as they walked into her room holding a birthday cupcake and some presents.

Hermione turned over onto her back and sat up yawning. She smiled as she saw her house mates in the Pyjamas singing to her. When they finished she thanked them and blew out the one candle on the small pink frosted cupcake.

'We got you a few things.' Alyssa said as she sat down on Hermione's double bed.

'You didn't have to.' Hermione said as Alyssa passed her a wrapped up box.

'Of course we did.' Alyssa said. 'This is the last birthday we'll share to together here in New York of course we want to make it special. Now open that up; it's from Dan and I.'

Hermione unwrapped the box and smiled as she saw the name of her favourite boutique written on the box. She opened the box and smiled as she pulled out the grey and one dotted scarf.

'Guy, you shouldn't have. This cost way too much.' Hermione said as she held the scarf.

'Between two of us it was nothing and anyway you only turn twenty one once or twice in Kyle's case but only once for the rest of us. We knew you liked it so we were happy to buy it.' Dan said smiling as he leant over and kissed Hermione's cheek.

'Thank you.' She repeated again.

'And this is from me.' Kyle said as she placed a small rectangular box in her hands. 'I hope you like it.'

'Thank you.' She said as she unwrapped the box to find her favourite perfume. 'Kyle! Thank you.' She said as she leant up and hugged him. 'Thank you, all of you.'

'Your welcome.' Alyssa said as she hugged Hermione. 'You've got a few packages in the living room from your friends back home. We're going to make you breakfast and you can open your presents.'

'Well aren't you all spoiling me today?' Hermione said as she got out of bed and grabbed her dressing gown.

'Well when it's my birthday I expect the same thing.' Alyssa said as she ushered the boys out Hermione's room.

Hermione walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa where her a small pile of presents were laid. Hermione took one of the presents and opened the card which was attached to it.

Dear Hermione,

Happy Birthday! Wish you were here so we could celebrate together but when you're home in December we'll go out and celebrate.

How are you? How's everything there in the New York? Ginny and I want to come out in early December to do some shopping for Christmas, maybe we could all go out then?

Everything's fine here. Job is going well, I really love being an Auror. Ginny is busy doing her degree; we hardly get to see each other with our different shifts but everything's fine with us.

I'm thinking of proposing...don't tell Ginny though. Of course I'll have to ask Arthur's permission first but I think her parents would be happy with us getting married. At least if we were married, Ginny could stay over well if were married we'd live together.

I have to go now, got work. Look forward to hearing from you, it's been a while.

Love Harry.

Hermione smiled as she read the letter. Harry and Ginny would be the perfect couple; in all honestly she was jealous of their relationship. She wanted a relationship like theirs; she wanted a man who loved her like Harry loved Ginny. She hoped one day someone would come along.

She opened the small present from Ginny and Harry and smiled as she held up a black jumper which she had mentioned to Ginny that she liked when she went home for the summer. It was perfect and would go well with her new scarf too.

She picked up the next card and opened it and quickly read the message.

Hermione,

Happy Birthday Old Girl!

Love

Ron.

PS: I owe you a drink when you come back to England.

Hermione rolled her at Ron's letter; typical Ron. Ron was more bothered these days about who his latest lay was than his friends. Harry had nearly given up on his friend if it wasn't for the fact that he was Ginny's brother.

Hermione opened a further two more presents. One from Molly and Arthur a lovely hat and mittens and then a book from Minerva. Both had written her small letters and she would have to write back tomorrow.

She looked at the last present on the sofa beside her and wondered who it was from. She picked it up and opened the card attached to the present. It was wrapped in brown paper not very festive for birthday wrapping.

She opened the letter and read:

Hermione,

I thought I would send you a book which I found helpful in my third year of University. This book will help you with your own projects and your final exams.

I have spoke with Minerva about you becoming my apprentice after you complete your degree as I expected she was most happy to have her little lion back where she belongs. She was overjoyed with the thought of another Gryffindor in the castle.

I have requested from your Professors to see your final exam papers and assignments so I can see how you work nowadays; it has been a while since I have taught you after all.

I hope the book is enjoyable and helpful Ms Granger. I hope to see you when I visit New York again in the near future.

Yours Sincerely

Severus Snape.

PS: Happy Birthday.

Hermione smiled as she read his letter; he wrote to her just like he promised. She opened the package and smiled as she saw the book. She opened the first page and saw an inscription written on the inside.

Severus Snape 1981

She fingered the inscription and smiled. She would have been about two when he was at University. That made him nineteen years her senior.

'Hermione, breakfast.' Kyle shouted from the kitchen which made Hermione break her train of thought.

Hermione made her way to the kitchen and sat down at the small table and smiled as she saw the table full of Hermione's favourites; fruit, yogurt, croissants and muffins.

'Tuck in.' Alyssa said as she reached for some fruit.

After breakfast, Hermione got in the shower and got ready for the day. She left her hair to curl and then got ready. She dressed in her new Jumper and scarf and pulled on her skinny jeans and placed her feet in red ballet flats. She grabbed her black Mac coat and her black leather bag and made her way to her potions class with Dan.

They walked over from their flat to the main building for their lecture. They got their ten minutes before the lecture was due to start and sat down in their usual seats. Hermione took off her coat and got out her note pad and the book that Severus had sent her.

'What's this?' Dan asked as he picked it up.

'A birthday present from Severus.' She said smiling.

'Snape? Professor Snape? The one who came here a few weeks back?' he asked.

'Yes that one. He offered me a position after I finish my degree. I'm going to go back to Hogwarts; I might even become the Potions Mistress there.' She said smiling.

'Well it seems this Professor wants you around.' Dan said smirking. 'Seems he likes the younger woman.'

'It's not like that.' She said as she shook her head. 'He used to hate me. Use to call me a know-it all and before you say I am I'm not. You're just as smart as me. Severus use to belittle me. I was a Gryffindor and he was the Head of Slytherin. Slytherin's hated muggleborns.'

'Are you saying he hates you then?' Dan said.

'No, he was just a harsh and strict teacher.' Hermione said. 'He wasn't always fair.'

'Sounds like a bastard.' Dan muttered.

'He could be but he was different when we went for coffee. He spoke to me like an equal not a student. It was very nice of him to send me that book; it was his you know. He used it when he was doing his degree.' She said smiling.

'Good Morning Class.' Professor Glover said as he walked in.

After their lecture, Dan took Hermione to her favourite cafe for lunch. The two of them ate lunch together and then made their way to their charms lecture. After an hour lecture both Dan and Hermione returned home.

Tonight they were going out to Hermione's favourite restaurant and then were going to Kyle's bar. As soon as they got in Hermione started to get ready. The table was booked for 7pm which gave Hermione three hours to get ready. In the early years she wasn't too bothered about appearance but now she took pride in getting ready and dressing up.

Hermione had another shower and then put on fresh make up. She went for a smokey eye look with nude lips. Thanks to Ginny she now owned a bunch of make up and knew how to apply make up perfectly. Hermione then focused on her hair, tonight she wanted to straighten her hair; she didn't do it often because it took so long.

Once her hair was straightened she then went to her wardrobe and picked out her new dress she brought for her birthday. The dress was cream with pleats and synched her waist perfectly showing off how tiny it was. She teamed it with black lace heels; it was the perfect outfit. She had found the dress in Muggle London when she had gone shopping with Ginny for Harry's birthday present.

She grabbed a small black clutch bag, purse, camera and lip-gloss and her Mac coat and was ready to go. She walked into the living room to find Dan and Kyle drinking a beer each and waiting for the girls.

'You look lovely.' Dan said as he looked at Hermione. 'You'll definitely pull in that dress.'

'Thanks...I think.' Hermione said as she sat down in the arm chair.

'I'm ready.' Alyssa said as she rushed out her bedroom wearing a rather risky red dress.

'Are you missing something?' Dan asked to which Alyssa looked around as if she was. 'I meant the other half of your dress! Short enough for you?'

'It's hardly short.' She said motioning to her dress which finished near the top of her thighs showing off way too much leg.

Dan rolled his eyes and stood up. 'Right let's go then.' He said as he walked towards Alyssa.

Kyle and Hermione stood up with them and the four of them made their way towards the City Centre. The first stop was Hermione's favourite restaurant; they had booked a table for seven o'clock. They ate at the restaurant and then went onto bar next door where Kyle worked. Kyle had managed to get them a private room in the VIP section and the four of them got drinks in and sat on the round sofa table.

'This is amazing.' Hermione said as she kissed Kyle's cheek.

'Glad you like it.' He said as he put his arm on the back of the sofa. 'Now tell me, which bloke should we try and pull.' Kyle was an open gay and he and Hermione often went out together on the 'pull' as such. 'He looks yummy.'

'He's totally gay so he's yours.' Hermione said laughing. 'I'm not bothered with pulling I just want a good time with you guys.'

'So you want this Professor then?' he asked.

Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at Kyle. 'There's nothing going on. I went to coffee with him because Professor Glover asked me to because he knew we knew each other from Hogwarts. We just had coffee and talked.'

'And he walked you home after your shift.' He said. 'I saw you together.'

'He walked me back because he had time before his Portkey activated.' She said. 'He was doing a gentlemen thing to walk me home.'

'He sent you a book for your birthday.' He said smirking.

'Actually he sent it to me to help with my final year. He asked me to be his apprentice if I get the right marks.' She said. 'He doesn't like me Kyle.'

'But the question is do you like him?' He said.

'No...Maybe. I find him strangely attractive.' She said. 'I had a crush on him in my sixth year but I haven't really thought of him well not since he came here.'

'So you've been thinking of him then? Come on Hermione admit it you like your old Professor.' He said.

'Okay.' Hermione said as she downed a shot. 'I think I fancy Severus Snape.'

'There that wasn't so hard.' Kyle said as he smiled.

Hermione and the others stumbled back to their flat in the early hours of the morning. All of them fell into the rooms feeling slightly worse for wear. Hermione fell onto her with her dress and shoes still on.

She kicked her shoes off and pulled her dress over her head. She stumbled across the room to her desk where she had put her birthday cards and letters. She picked up the letter from Severus and read it again.

She sat back down on her bed and laid down with the letter in her hands. She held it to her chest like she was holding onto Severus. She sighed as she closed her eyes. He would never want her so she would have to dream of what it would like to be with him.

She went to sleep in the early hours of the morning dreaming of a tall, dark, handsome Potions Master.
