A/N: I came across this story and although I don't know if it's still being read/updated, I thought I'd give it a go.
The next few days were filled with an awkward, tension-filled silence between Hermione and himself. Severus vacillated between worrying how to make things right with the witch so he could eventually have his way with her and simply wishing to have the whole essence cleansing out of the way so he could be rid of her and her aggravating Veela influence on him. As a result, he shut himself up in his lab for three days straight, only venturing forth when he was desperate for food and sleep and certain that Hermione would already be in her room, probably asleep.
Unbeknownst to Severus though, Hermione wasn't asleep. Instead she waited up each night until she heard his footsteps going down the hall towards the bathroom and then shortly after to his bedroom. She wasn't sure why she did it. After everything that happened and several days distance to think about it, she still didn't know what to make of the whole affair. Was she hurt that he invaded her privacy in such an intimate manner? Absolutely. But did a part of her perhaps know or at least suspect that he would do it anyways considering his Slytherin nature and previous life as a spy? Yes, probably so. What truly shocked her, now that she had time to think on it, was his own offering up of his private life to her viewing. Never would she have expected that from the cold hearted bastard he was always assumed to be.
By the fourth day, Hermione was fed up with his avoiding her and her confrontational nature came to the fore. She waited until lunch time before knocking on the door leading to his labs. There was a long stretch of silence where she was certain he was ignoring her, but just as she raised her hand to knock again, the door opened. Severus peered out at her, the door barely cracked, perhaps waiting to see if she would attempt to hex him again.
"Can we talk?," she asked him. He hesitated a moment before stepping back and opening the door fully to allow her entrance.
"Actually, I thought we could talk over lunch. I've thrown together some sandwiches in the kitchen."
Severus nodded and followed her down the hallway towards the kitchen, taking a seat at the rickety old table in there. Hermione poured them both a glass of pumpkin juice and grabbed the plate of sandwiches off the counter, before taking a seat across the table from him.
She had planned this out in her head half a dozen times and never quite figured out exactly what to say to him. In the end, she decided she would just wing it and say what was on her mind. But now that the moment had come, she found herself nervous with butterflies taking up residence in her stomach. Stalling, she grabbed a sandwich off the plate and took a bite, avoiding Severus' gaze as he stared at her curiously.
Slowly, he copied her movements, grabbing a sandwich and taking a bite. He eyed her over the table, wondering what she had to say, or what she was avoiding saying, rather. His patience wore thin as she finished her sandwich and grabbed another off the plate. "You said you wanted to talk, Miss Granger," his tone clearly implying his waning patience.
Slowly she set the sandwich back down and raised her gaze to finally meet his eyes. "Don't do that. Don't revert back to calling me 'Miss Granger' just because we're fighting. I'm not your student any more and I don't appreciate being treated like one. I'm not someone you can just boss around any more. And I won't be one of those women you just use and throw away either. I may be significantly younger than you Severus but that doesn't mean I'll be a pushover for you. And you can't just avoid me when things get tetchy between us. I just..." Hermione stopped, took a deep breath and let it out in a sort of deflated sigh, shifting her gaze to the table top. "Well... anyways, that's pretty much all I wanted to say. I'm not mad any more, but I'm not happy about what you did either." Slowly she lifted her eyes back to his, curious as to what his reaction would be to her declarations.
Severus stared her down for a long moment, running a finger over his bottom lip in contemplation. Things weren't turning out as he expected with the young witch, but if there was one lesson he learned as a spy, it was how to be adaptable. "I understand Hermione. I can't change what's happened, but I can promise to respect your privacy going forward."
"And me Severus. It's not enough to respect my privacy, you need to respect me too," Hermione stated quietly. If they were going to work together going forward, she had to be able to trust him again and she couldn't do that if she were constantly on her guard around him.
"As you say, witch," he stated quietly, tilting his head in acquiescence.
Hermione gave him a small smile, pleased that their argument was over with and they could get back to working on her Veela problem together. Severus stood up abruptly and headed for the door to go back to his labs. As he reached the entry way, he stopped and looked back at her. "I could use your assistance with the next stage in the process, if you would care to accompany me." Hermione gave him a full smile this time and got up to follow. Severus turned to walk through the door, chalking up the pleasure he felt at seeing her smile to the Veela part of her affecting him.
