The tent was whipping around Hermione as the wind hit it from all different sides. It was the fifth day of this damn storm and she had been sick of it the day it started, which was the second day they were there. She and Snape stood awkwardly outside under a tarp to make plans, but after looking at his information they saw that they would be unable to do anything until after the rain stopped. Thier first plant was perfectly named: Aftaran, which more or less translated to "After Rain", so they would have to wait for the storm to be over and then go hunting for the plant, they both woke up at all hours of the night to make sure it was either still raining or not because this plant could only be pick within six hours after the last rainfall and then it would go back in to the ground until after the next rainfall.
Snape was patient through the days that went by too slowly, he would study more information, look up stuff on potions that interested him. He never looked bored or annoyed and there was never any question about if he was thinking of what he could be doing if he was home. Hermione on the other hand thought that she was a patient person until the rain started but now she was pretty sure that she was gonig insane, she thought of Harry and Ginny, she thought of Luna and what she may be doing at that moment and when she didn't want to she always found herself thinking of Ron and Lavender and how happy they always seemed, Ron proudly showing off his pregnant wife that should have been her, Lavender with her hand on her swollen belly her skin glowing, the smile seemingly permanent on her face. These times were the only times that she was happy for the crashing thunder that made it impossible for Snape to hear her sobs in the middle of the night.
"BLOODY HELL!" Snape screamed from the otherside of the campsite. Hermione came running out to see that her former potions master was half stuck in his tent and the backside of the tent was caught in what looked like a raging river, the tent was being held to the ground by half of Snapes body and the spike that was hammered in to the ground.
"Oh My God!" Hermione screamed "Severus, are you okay?"
"Hermione" He said, grabbing the tree next to him and pulling with all his might "I need help" Hermione stopped thinking and just hopped in to action, she grabbed his hands and pulled as hard she could. It took more then one pull to get him out. Then while he was trying to catch his breath Hermione reached in to his tent and pulled out everything she could before she watched it be swept away in a sea of white water. She took a deep and calming breath before turning to look at Snape, he was standing watching his tent disapear in to the woods he seemed okay but Hermione noted his shaking hands and the way he repeatedly licked his lips.
"Are you okay, Snape?" She asked quietly.
"I think so" He told her, his voice shaking slightly "It just happened so fast, I was almost asleep and I heard this rushing but just figured that it was far enough away that it wouldn't bother me, then it happened"
"I saw that" Hermione said moving closer to him and then without any warning laughter bubbled up her throat and almost strangled her in its attempt to come out and then it managed to get out and she was howling with amusement. Snape did not look amused in the least.
"And what" He snapped "Is so funny to you about this situation, Miss Granger?"
"I'm s-s-s-s-sorry p-p-professor" Hermione gasped holding her side, the laughter wouldn't seem to stop "I-i-it's not funny at all I know"
"I could have died" He snapped, but instead of making her feel bad it made her laugh louder and harder "What the bloody hell is so funny about that?"
"I was just thinking about the way you looked when I came out of the tent" Hermione started to laugh again "You are hanging out of the tent holding on to a tree screaming for help...I-i-im sorry" She broke off laughing again. Hermione looked at him hoping to find a little understanding there, she was surprised to see him smiling reluctantly and then something that she was sure she would never see, he actually started to laugh with her.
When they had stopped laughing they sat in the rain completely covered in the mud and looked at eachother. Hermione knew that she was going to have to share her tent with him now and even though she was nervous about wondering if she snored or talked in her sleep she was excited by the thought of having him so close to her.
"I'm going to need to sleep with you, now" Snape said, then turned a little red when he realized how that came out "In your tent" he added quickly.
"I know" Hermione told him, she looked at the small one person tent and sighed it really was late and they needed to sleep no matter how uncomfortable they would be in eachothers close company.
"I sleep on the right" Hermione told him "You can have the left"
"I usually sleep on the right, Miss Granger" He told her.
"Too bad" Hermione smiled sweetly "I bought this tent there for it is my rules we’ll be following, Snape"
"Well..." He started.
"Fine, if you want to fight with me then you can just sleep out here!" Hermione snapped, she turned on her heel and walked in to her tent making sure to take the right side of the tent. She was almost asleep when she heard Snape come in and lay down, he was grumbling under his breath but was otherwise quiet.
The next morning Hermione was awoken to the sound of breathing and more rain. She sighed, she was starting to smell like a sewer and wanted nothing more then to take a nice hot bath with so many bubbles that you would not be able to find her. She shimmied her hips lightly and heard a soft moan come from behind her. She opened her eyes slowly, a shy smile forming on her lips as she turned her head to look at the man behind her. Snapes eyes were closed, his long black lashes rested lightly on his cheekbones, his mouth looked soft and the angles of his face that usually looked so harsh looked soft and vulnerable now. Hermione closed her eyes and turned her body so that she was facing him and then she opened her eyes to narrow slits and watched as he slept, his deep breathing and calmed body. His arms were around her now and he held her so close it was as if they were lovers and when he awoke he would take her before they even go out of bed. However, she knew that would not happen, he saw her as a pain in the ass know-it-all and nothing more. With an evil grin she brought her knee up to gently rub against his groin, she smiled when she heard his breath catch and she closed her eyes lightly again, leaving them open just enough to be able to watch him. His eyes opened and looked at her, she prayed that he wouldn't be able to tell that she was really awake. He watched her for a little while and she 'innocently' brought her leg up again, he shifted closer, put his hand on the back of her knee and brought it closer to him. Hermione almost smiled but thought better of it.
"You know Miss Granger" He whispered in her ear "If you wanted to feel it, you could have asked"
"WHAT?!" Hermione gasped, in her speed to look at him she brought her knee up again only this time it was too hard and too fast. He bent forward in pain tears automatically springing to his eyes.
"You....bitch" He gasped.
"I'm soo sorry" Hermione said quickly, unthinkingly reaching her hand down and rubbing the spot she had hit.
"Miss..." Snapes voice was a few octives higher then usual and it was then Hermione realized she was practically giving her ex-professor a hand-job "Granger" He finished
"Oh. My. God." Hermione gasped looking in his face, it was slightly red, he didn't look angry but then again why should he? he was just getting a bloody hand-job "I am so sorry, Professor...I...I" Hermione stood and ran from the tent and the safety of the rainy forest.
