Thou Shalt Not Ask Questions One Does Not Wish to Hear the Answers To
AN: Sorry all, but it’s here. It had to happen, you know it did, I knew it did, but still…Sorry!
Also apologies for the short chapter but I wanted to get this over with quickly.
Thou Shalt Not Ask Questions One Does Not Wish to Hear the Answers To
Another bloody staff meeting. Albus seems to love forcing us all to sit through these mostly pointless, definitely mind numbing gatherings. Personally, I think the man has a Slytherin inside him.
On the upside, I have Hermione to think about. Somehow she has managed over the past few months to weasel her way into my heart. Frankly, I never thought I would ever be stupid enough to let anyone get in there. Now I think I was stupid to ever have thought that. Every moment with her is precious, every conversation, every word and every touch. The end of the year is drawing close, only a week away now, but I try not to dwell on that. I really don’t know where that will leave us, once she graduates and is gone from Hogwarts.
“It appears,” the headmaster drones on, “that house points this year are at an all time high.” Albus’ eyes are suddenly on me, giving me a quizzical look. “Appears Severus must be in a good mood this year.”
The rest of the staff attempt to muffle their snickers, except McGonagall who doesn’t even try to hide her exuberant laughter.
“The students must be doing something right by you this year, Severus,” Albus goes on with a gleam in his eye. Just drop it now, old man.
Hooch snorts. “One of them must be doing something all right.” She gives me a nasty look, which thankfully the headmaster seems to miss. Bitch.
“Ah, Mr Potter acting a little more to your liking this year? Or is Longbottom a tad more competent?” Dumbledore asks humorously. The man really must work on his sense of what is comical.
“Something like that,” I reply, giving Hooch my best sneer.
Thankfully the meeting is soon adjourned and I make my escape from that cesspool.
I haven’t the vaguest what has happened to the past week. Hermione has spent nearly every night in my quarters – in many ways I am beyond caring if we get caught. I know the end is nearing, she’ll go away to university, meet a handsome young man much more deserving of her and I’ll resort to my usual self-loathing, nasty ways. Story of my life, I swear. Too bad for the little Gryffindors next year.
Hermione arrives at my quarters at around 8’o clock. It really has become a bit of a ritual for us. Luckily I’m on bed check this week, and as far as I am concerned Hermione has been just where she is supposed to be every night – curled up in my bed, next to me, sleeping peacefully after almost endless shag sessions. My rooms are going to be so lonely without her.
We spend the evening talking about everything but her departure tomorrow. Finally, however, after hours of meaningless chatter about books, her classmates and her exams, Hermione breaches the taboo subject.
“I was thinking,” she says very slowly, glancing quickly at me from under her lashes, then refocusing her attention to her hands, “I might get a place in Hogsmead and find a job there.”
What?
“And what about your studies?” I ask. Surely she is not going to throw all her efforts, all her intelligence away.
“I don’t know,” she mutters. “Oh, Severus, I don’t know what to do! I so desperately want to go to Uni, but I just as desperately want to stay here with you!”
Wow! She would be willing to do that for me? Christ, as flattered as I am I cannot allow her to give it all up for a life with a greasy git like me. We sit there silently for a long time, both mulling over the options in our minds. Mine is completely made up – I don’t deserve her and she deserves so much more. She has her life ahead of her.
Quite suddenly Hermione jerks her head up and looks me straight in the eye. “You decide.”
Great. I know there is no option. I can’t do this softly. This has got to end right now.
“Go.” My voice comes out very quietly.
“Sorry?” she asks, but I can tell from her eyes which are now brimming over with tears that she has understood exactly what I mean.
I really have to find that nasty, bastard Severus and get him to do his bloody job. “Get out of here! LEAVE!” Ah, there he is. Pity, part of me would’ve really liked it if he’d just stayed away a little longer.
She sits there staring at me looking completely shocked. Christ, girl, just get out of here now before I give in and get down on my knees and beg you to stay! Get out get out get out!
I give her a decent glare just to top it all off. I really am a bastard – however this time it is for her own good.
She slowly rises from her seat, picking up the book she used as an excuse to talk all evening. Merlin, Hermione just leave before I break down.
“Really?” she squeaks at me, obviously choking back tears. “After everything you are just going to chuck me out?”
“GET OUT!”
Her tears spill over and she flees from my rooms. She slams the door shut behind her and all I can hear for a very long time is the echo of the door hitting the frame through my empty quarters. It isn’t the only thing that feels empty. My heart, which had opened up and expanded to accommodate her, is suddenly a vast gaping void.
I am a bastard – if only now to myself.
Big thank yous to…
Shem – I will not be held responsible for your laundry! Lol, thanks! Flattery will get you everywhere, my dear. Big apology for the break up, but it had to happen so they can get back together and have even more fun!
Lily Malfoy – mm, yeah, I had to endulge in some choccie myself after that. Found Cadbury Cream Egg in cabinet downstairs, thank goodness, and am now thinking that Sev and cream egg filling would be even more tasty…. ;)
Deb – Thank you! Mm, Strawberries! YES! Strawberries and chocolate cream eggs, that’s it! Perfect combination!
Seva – SORRY! I had to break them up! However, promise it won’t be too long before they’re back together! And yay, I kept them in character! Thank you!
Jen – Okay, when you put Hooch like that, she isn’t so bad! And the possiblilities of that whistle…tell yer what, when I get a chance I just might write a Snape/Hooch/Herm fic. Bet she’d be a bit of a demanding one in bed too…
Lizski – Thank you!
MaddyRiddle – Sorry for not updating on whispers. Between all the downtime that site seems to have and the lack of interest I thought my stories rose there I had kind of given up, but today I have managed to upload most of the new chapters before it stuffed up on me! Thank you so much for your review!
Also apologies for the short chapter but I wanted to get this over with quickly.
