Hermione yawned as she leaned her forehead against the window on The Hogwarts Express. Ron and Neville were to her left and Harry and Ginny were sitting opposite them. Hermione was more tired than usual. She had spent the last three nights, and the better part of each day, with Professor Snape. She had not planned to spend the night right before school started with him, however, but could not refuse him when he appeared at her door. She had not expected to see him again before getting to school, but there he was, ranting about how “Minerva’s faculty meeting went on for too long” and that “he’d be damned if he was going to let Hermione spend her last night home alone.” He walked inside and swiftly pulled her into his arms. He inhaled her scent deeply and let his nails dig into her flesh as he held her. Naturally she was excited to see him, but surprised that he had apparated all the way back to London.
Hermione felt herself melting into his touch. Her breathing hitched as his hands began tickling the sliver of exposed skin above the waistband of her pajama pants. She pressed herself against him and his other hand found its way into the curls at the nape of her neck. He gripped a fistful of her hair and tilted her face upwards to look at him. He kissed her passionately before taking her to bed, where he lost himself inside her over and over again. She too, was heady and disoriented by the time the sun was beginning to peak over the horizon and they were both utterly spent.
Now, she was returning to Hogwarts and fighting very hard to keep her eyes open. Harry and Ginny were having their own conversation, and paying no attention to their companions in the train car, when Luna spoke.
“You didn’t sleep well, did you, Hermione? Are you ill?” She asked.
“No, Luna, but thank you for asking. I just had trouble falling to sleep last night,” she explained.
“Yes it is difficult to get a good night’s sleep when there are so many other fun things to do in the night,” Luna said. Hermione eyed her quizzically, but Luna had already opened her copy of The Quibbler and resumed reading.
Once they arrived all returning students were funneled into The Great Hall for the welcome feast. News had traveled and most of the seventh years knew that The Golden Trio and other members of Dumbledore’s Army were returning to Hogwarts, but some of the younger students seemed caught unaware. When Harry, Hermione, and Ron sat down at Gryffindor table there was plenty of whispered conversation around them.
Hermione tried to keep her attention on her friends and not on the surly man in a black frock cloak sitting atop the high dias Headmaster McGonagall approached the podium to address her students.
“Hello and welcome to Hogwarts,” she bellowed. “Words cannot adequately expressed how happy I am to welcome you all to this school. Hogwarts has a long and complicated history, but I truly believe we are fortunate in having the opportunity to bring this school in to a bright future.Thank you to all of our returning students, and we are excited to have our new first years as well. You have all joined us at a pivotal time in Hogwarts’ history. This leads me to my first celebration. We have some familiar, but nevertheless surprising, faces among us. Before we get on with the feast I am honored to welcome back our ‘super seventh year’s,’ if you will. Please rise.”
Harry was the first to rise, but after a quick glance Hermione and Ron stood beside him. The Great Hall erupted with applause and Hermione could feel blush creeping over her face. She chanced a look at Professor Snape and could see that he was staring at her. The slow and deliberate applause he was giving them was covertly shaded by his typical sardonic grimace. When the applause died down, the standing students sat.
“These students will be spending the semester at Hogwarts in an effort to help our school progress into this new chapter! We are very fortunate to have them. Additionally, please welcome back the members of our teaching staff. Hagrid will be returning to his post as Care of Magical Creatures Professor, Professor Flitwick is teaching charms, and Professor Snape is returning to his potions post, as he truly is a master of this science and art.” Headmaster McGonagall continued to reveal the other teaching posts and new staff members, but Hermione tuned out after hearing Severus’ title. The small nod of the head he gave the students in acknowledgment of his role made if difficult for her to break her eyes away. She was dying to know what he was thinking at that moment.

Truthfully, as Professor Snape sat atop the dias, he could do nothing but covertly glance at Hermione. He was pretty positive that she hadn’t seen that he was looking at her, but he couldn’t be certain. Hermione looked tired, he observed, and he smiled inwardly when he thought about why she was so tired. He allowed a small chuckle to escape his lips when he saw her stifle a yawn with the back of her hand.
He realized he wanted nothing more than to walk up to her and touch her. He wanted to bury his hands in the curls at the back of her head and hold her tightly as he tilted her head up to kiss him. He wanted to hear her whispering his name between her deliberate breaths. Hell, he just wanted to let his hand graze the small of her back as he walked passed. Hermione was of age, but now she was his bloody student again, which complicated things. He was bitter knowing that, because she was back at school, their relationship would be deemed as improper. If she was in University though, or back at her flat in London, he might not be so remised at letting their relationship be known.
Relationship. He rolled the word around in his brain. What was this relationship? What could this relationship be? Did she know how to classify whatever this was? There was one thing he knew for certain, however. He needed to figure out some way to keep her close.
He chanced another glance in her direction. God damn it she was beautiful. She looked up and their eyes met briefly. Professor Snape quickly looked away. Yes, he needed to get to her somehow.
