Notes: Very first Hermoine/Snape. And first Het in a long time.

Hermoine sat on a bench out side the school in the courtyard. She watched the other students and teachers frolic about with their significant others. Even Ron was sitting by the roses with his girlfriend. She had no clue where Harry and Draco went ever since Lucius went to Azkaban Draco had been nicer and much more friendly with everyone. He and Harry joined forces and became Hogwarts number 1 couple.

After the fourth couple walked by her and disturbing her from her reading Hermoine stood an stormed away from the gardens.

“Disgusting! That’s what it is. Castle’s going to be flooded with all the sobering that’s going on around here.”

Hermoine had no clue where she was going to go. The dorms were filled with sap! The Great Hall was filled hearts and candy.

Smiling she said aloud, “Snape’s rooms.” She took off down to the dungeons.

Severus sat in his overstuffed chair reading a new potions book. He had given advice to the author about what to write. Even if he hadn’t wanted to admit it to the others it really was a good read. It even had potions from the oldest known potions master, Dr. William Christopher.

There was a knock on the door and it made him growl low in his throat.

“Whose there?”

He heard the young woman’s voice that haunted his dreams since she had come of age and before that at times. “Come in.”

Hermoine stood outside of Snape’s living quarters. She hesitantly knocked on the door. When she heard his bellow she answered in return, “It’s me. Hermoine.”

Opening the door when she heard him say ‘come in’.

“Hello Professor. How are you today?”

Severus answered gruffly, “I’m fine. If you’ve come to get me to go up to the Great Hall you can just forget it. All of this Valentine’s Day rubbish.”

Hermoine smiled, “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Severus looked at her inquiringly.

Hermoine sighed, “All of this Valentine’s Day stuff is getting to me.”

Severus smiled his usual half smile, which looked more like a grimace, “You may stay but don’t make a habit of it.”

Hermoine smiled, “Thank you.”

Severus nodded and put down his book, “I have a potion to brew.” He picked up his tea and left the room.

Hermoine looked at the book Professor Snape had laid down. Curiosity got the better of her and she picked up the book. “Wow this isn’t even in print yet.” She picked it up and started reading.

Before she knew it she was laying on the small couch in her muggle sweats. ‘Fascinating.’

Hermoine read for what seemed like hours. When she heard a small explosion.

Jumping up she ran to the closed door.

Xxxxxx

Severus set a side his tea and got out his ingredients he needed to make the potion Dumbledore had asked for. It wasn’t a complex potion so he could get done in no time.

Starting the base brewing he added the first few ingredients. They needed to simmer so he decided to look in on Hermione.

Opening the door a crack he saw her laying on the couch reading, his book, ‘She’s very pretty.’

He almost slapped himself for thinking like that. ‘She won’t want anything to do with someone like me.’

Going back into his lab Severus mixed the rest of the potion but he was a little sidetracked with his thoughts of Hermione.

Severus finished putting the ingredients into the bubbling kettle. He only made one mistake he miss read a bottle. Instead of brewing the sweetener potion Dumbledore wanted he was making ‘lose your inhibitions’ potion.

Still unaware of the mistake Severus breathed in the smoke and got light headed. Suddenly he got the weird feeling that he had to kiss Hermoine now. Fighting the feeling he didn’t see the potion bubble over.

When it exploded it knocked him against the wall.

XXXXX

Hermoine pushed open the door and sniffed the air. She felt funny like she wanted to kiss Snape. She had thought about it for a while but now it seemed like it was the right time.

When she saw Snape lying on the floor she rushed over an knelt beside him, “Please be alright.” She leaned down and kissed him.

Severus woke up slightly and opened his eyes. He saw Hermoine kissing him. ‘Oh my god!’ He did what he wanted to he kissed her back.

When the kiss ended they both looked at one another.

Hermoine smiled, “I’ve always wanted to do that.”

Severus frowned, “Really?”

Hermoine nodded, “Yeah and for some reason I just had to do it now.”

Severus smiled an actual smile; “I was thinking the same thing when the potion exploded.”

Hermoine helped Severus stand up. “I want to kiss you again.”

Hermoine and Severus stood in the smokey room kissing for what seemed like forever when Severus pulled away, “The potion.”

Hermoine frowned, “What?”

Severus moved away from her but pulled her with him. “Help me look over these ingredients. I was making that sweetening potion.”

Hermoine nodded and looked over the list of ingredients then at the bottles. “Professor…”

Severus shook his head, “When we’re alone call me Severus.”

Hermoine smiled, “Severus I found it. You used orange blossom instead of orange peel.”

Severus nodded, “That’s why this happened!”

Hermoine frowned and looked at the floor, “What do you mean?”

Severus raised her chin with his finger, “I wanted it so badly. See I accidentally brewed a ‘lose your inhibitions’ potion. See that’s why we kissed we both wanted it. We were just acting it out.”

Hermoine smiled and kissed him again, “I’m glad it’s Valentine’s Day.”

Severus laughed, “Me too. It drove you down here.”

Hermoine laughed, “Let’s clean up then maybe we can go get some of that “special” lovers chocolate you made for the adults.”

Severus grinned wickedly, “We’ll use a cleaning spell so we can get to the chocolate.”

Hermoine kissed him again. She was beginning to like St. Valentine’s Day.

The End!
