The Phantom of Hogwarts

AN: I'm still broke and own nothing. No wizard here yet either. Come Professor Snape (for some fiction to life) or Teller (for a real life person) I can be really amusing if you give me a chance. Please some one.

--------------------------------- Down in the Dungeons that evening ----------------------------

"Albus, I can't believe you are allowing this. She's a student…"

"But you love her." Albus said sitting in Severus Snape's study.

"Yes, but that's beside the point."

"Beside the point…. Really I doubt Miss Granger would like to think of the experience she had last night as that. She probably found you to be quite charming, which Severus, my boy, you can be when you stop being such a bastard."

"Albus, she is how many years younger than me? Almost 20 years." Severus bellowed.

"Now that is no reason to go break her heart. Look at Minerva and myself we are whole 60 years apart and age and that hasn't stop us at all."

"But she's my student."

"And was Minerva's headmaster when we started dating."

"Albus, do you have a rebuttal for everything I'm going to say?"

"Yes, my boy, I do. I've been thru this same line of reasoning and I've found to just let the heart rule and all the problems will be solved."

Severus sighed at this comment and sat down across the chair from Albus. "She is supposed to see me again later this evening." He said placing his head in his right hand.

"Well then, I should allow you to get ready to wine and dine her. Make her some dinner, Severus, and give her a chance to steal your heart. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't." Albus said as he was leaving Severus's quarters.

------------------------------------------------ Date Time ---------------------------------------------

Hermione slowly walked down to the dungeons. In all honesty she really didn't know where she was to meet Severus. So she thought she would check the potions classroom and his office to find him.

While Severus was lighting the candle on the dinner table he just transfigured he remember that he didn't tell Hermione where to meet him. Shit. He quietly swore to himself. I should probably go to my office and hope she shows up there to find me. As he walked to his office, taking down and putting back up the wards that existed to his private quarters, he thought, I can't believe Albus is supportive of this. I must be losing my mind that he's accept this as valid behavior Then again he and Minerva… His thoughts of how insane this situation was were cut off the moment he laid his eyes on the sight of Hermione. She was dressed in a simple black dress, which was underneath her school robes. Her curly chocolate brown hair was gently pulled back with several curls falling out at random. She looked like an angel to him. A complete angel.

"Hello." He caught her attention as he spoke with a husky voice.

"Hi." Hermione responded quietly. "I didn't know where I was to find you so I assumed your office was a safe spot to wait." She blushed when their eyes met.

"I'm sorry I should have give you better directions on where to find me. That is my fault completely. But we have found each other so all is well." He walked over and took her hand gently to lead her back to his quarters. They walked down the endless tunnel to get to final entrance to his quarters. Severus spoke a quiet word and the door opened to him. He took her school robe and hung it next to his overcoat on a hook, which was next to the door. "Please make yourself at home." He led Hermione into the main room of his quarters. Hermione eyes widen to see room nearly covered with books and full of color. Three brightly colored chairs where placed by the fireplace, which was roaring with a warm golden fire. Plush blue rugs were place strategically over the stone floor to provide a warm stepping for bare feet to walk on. Hermione could imagine Severus walking around the room barefoot in black dress pants and white shirt while trying to find a book to read.

"Stunning." She said after taking everything in.

"Not really, but it's home." Severus answered her. "I've made some dinner if you like so we can sit and talk."

"I would like that." Hermione responded.

AN: I know I'm mean and am leaving this chapter off at a weird spot but it's finals time at school and I must study. I decided to right a quick chapter to take a break from Orgo Chem so here it is.
