How could he say that? Hermione would never forget the harsh words Snape uttered when her teeth became ten times longer than usual.

She cried herself to sleep.

In the morning she arrived first to class as usual, but refused to meet her teacher's eyes. Nevertheless, he bent down close to her ear.

"I meant what I said." Hermione gasped. "I didn't see any difference. Your beauty is not characterized by your teeth. Besides, I find them unique." Then he stood up and resumed his vigil at his desk.

Hermione knew she couldn't hate him. She loved him too much.
