A/N Well guys, my boyfriend has been leaving me at home for the last few days, so I am able to update more often than I expected. I am thankful for the reviews. I won’t lie… Writing this story has been making me nervous. I have never written a fanfic before and wasn’t sure if it would be good. I’m glad you’re all enjoying it. Here’s more for you :)
Chapter 5
Severus woke early that next morning. He was anxious about today. He wasn’t quite sure why he was so wound up about Hermione Granger seeming to have feelings for him, but he was and he could not wait for Potions class today.
Meanwhile…
Hermione was getting ready for the day thinking about what she was going to do about telling her professor that it was she who risked her life just to save his. She was trying desperately to manage her locks of curls that would never behave. Finally she caved in and used a spell to manage them into a bun. She finished up by gathering her robe and her books and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast.
During breakfast she kept glancing up at the teachers table and then she would stare off into space. Ron and Harry were talking to Neville about his progress in Herbology. He was very much excited as he had just received an owl from Professor Sprout about a confirmed apprenticeship with her. It was official, Professor Dumbledore’s signature was written at the bottom of the scroll. No one even bothered with Hermione. No one, however, except one professor. He was staring at the Gryffindor table trying to drown out the drolling noises coming from Professor Trelawny and Madam Hooch. He didn’t see why they had to bring their relationship issues to breakfast with them. His main focus at the Gryffindor table was indeed Hermione. She looked different today, somehow. He kept noticing she would move her head to turn this way and he would look down and watch her through the hair that fell into his face. Was she looking at him? But then she would just look back at her food. She wasn’t really eating, just moving things around on her plate. Severus believed that was a sign of nervousness. What could she be nervous about? She was so bright and so intelligent, and brave. What in the name of Merlin could have her acting so differently? He was not sure but he was determined to find out. With that thought he left the staff table and headed to the dungeons. Hermione snapped out of her daze when Harry tapped her arm and told her it was time for Potions class. She gathered up her things and followed him and the others down to the dungeons.
Snape had all the students turn in their essays about potions effects on different genders and then set each of them brewing a special love potion. Yes, it was the same one Professor Slughorn had the 6^th year students brew two years ago, however it was not him evaluating it and he wanted to see if the students were able to brew it to his standards and not to Slughorn’s. While normally he had them all work individually, this time he had decided to pair them up. He was not about to let the students choose their own partners, so he paired them up himself. However this particular class had an odd number of students. As he knew Hermione was the only one in this class who already knew how to brew an exceptional potion, he singled her out and left her wondering why she was not only not paired up with anyone, but why she was also the only student who was not going to be brewing the love potion today. He asked her to go wait up by his desk for instruction as he got the others started on their potions and made sure everyone had the necessary ingredients. She did as she was told.
After he made his trip around the room checking on his students, he walked back over to his desk and set a small ward so the others would not be able to hear him talking to her. “You are not going to be brewing a love potion today Miss Granger.” He said quietly. “Why is that Professor?” She questioned. “Because I have something else I need your help with today.” He replied. “I would like your help renewing some of my personal stores.” “Oh, like what, if you don’t mind me asking.” “I do not mind, Miss Granger, as you will need to know anyway. The first potion I would like for you to start on is dittany.” She looked at her professor with wide eyes. ‘Does he know?’ She thought. “Alright, Professor. Where would I find the recipe for that potion?” She asked. “Actually, I have it on a piece of parchment.” She looked confused. He then explained. “I have slightly altered the original recipe to make the potion take effect much quicker and to be much more effective than before. You will find everything you need behind that door.” He said as he pointed to a small door in the corner of the room that she had never noticed before. “Only you are allowed in there Miss Granger. I shall give you the password and you shall keep it to yourself. Failure to do so will result in greater punishment than you could imagine.” “I understand Professor. I shall not share the password with anyone. I promise.” “Very well Miss Granger. The password is Bright Eyes.” A password he had set that very morning before class. “I will inform you, that due to the closeness of that door to some of the students in the back row, there is a silencing spell the begins right at the corner of the desks, so there is no need to whisper once you are past that. I assure you, no one will hear the password when you speak it. I also ask that you do not tell anyone about the assignment you have been given. To all others around you it will simply look as though you are brewing the same thing they are, just by yourself.” “Yes Professor, thank you.” And with that she headed back to the small door at the back of the classroom. Once past the desk she turned around to look at her Potions professor who nodded. She spoke the password. “Bright Eyes.” The door opened and she walked in. Inside that small door was a huge room full of ingredients and everything was properly labeled and wonderfully organized. She looked at her parchment and quickly grabbed what she needed and went back to her table. The door closed itself behind her. She knew just by looking at that room that she was very much going to enjoy working with Professor Snape during the internship if she were to receive it.
By the end of class everyone was finished with their potions, including Hermione. One by one the students turned their vials in. Snape graded each one based off the color and scent of each one. He was surprised at how well all of his students did. After each potion was handed in and graded the students whom it belonged to were dismissed to their next class. Hermione knew that she possessed a much different potion than the others and so she waited until the very last pair of students turned theirs in and received their grade. She then walked up to Snape’s desk with her potion in hand. “I appreciate you doing this for me Miss Granger.” Snape said to her as he reached into the second drawer of his desk. He then pulled out a knife. “What are you doing Professor?” Hermione asked with a very concerned look on her face. “I am about to test out your potion Miss Granger.” He then took the knife and put a rather large gash in his opposite hand. “Professor are you ok?!” Hermione almost shouted. Snape opened the vial and dropped but two drops of the dittany onto the cut, and as he knew it would the wound sealed up with immense speed and with no soreness left in his hand. “I am fine, thank you Miss Granger. You have brewed an exceptional dittany potion. I thank you for your assistance.” “You’re welcome Professor.” She was shocked at how fast her potion worked to heal his hand. “I must say Hermione, this is much better than I anticipated,” he fibbed. Severus knew that any potion the young girl brewed would be extraordinary. “Please be expecting an owl within the weeks end with an official apprenticeship offer from me.” Hermione was shocked. She hadn’t expected a confirmation so soon or at all really. “Thank you Professor. That means so much to me!” She said very happily. “Yes, well go on to your next class, you don’t want to be too much later than you already are.” He motioned that it was safe for her to leave. “Professor…” She was terrified as to his response to her next words. “Yes, Miss Granger?” “I was wondering if I would be able to come by your classroom this evening after supper to talk to you about something?” “Miss Granger, I have already told you that you will be getting an official invitation to be a potions apprentice…” She cut him off before he could say anything else. “No, Professor, it’s not about that. It’s about something else.” She spoke quickly. “Very well then, if you wish to come by and speak with me I shall be down here at 7 o’clock this evening working on grading some first year essays. You may come by then.” “Thank you Professor. I will be here at 7.” With that she ran out the door to her next class before anything else could come walking out of her mouth.
‘I wonder what else that girl could want to talk about without others listening.’ He thought to himself before heading into his sitting rooms waiting for his next class, which wouldn’t be for another few hours.

TBC…
I didn’t want too much going on in this chapter. There was already so much happening. The next chapter is probably going to be much longer. As you all have been waiting for it will be the chapter when Hermione finally tells her secrets to her professor. Will Severus have something to tell Hermione as well? I guess you all will just have to wait to find out.
