Enter Stage Left
Chapter 3 of 10
tobeactingHermione continues to sulk and Severus gets some unwanted advice.
ReviewedHermione realized the irony of her pouting after being called a child. He could be so stubborn and so pompous. Surely her hair wasn't the true reason for him denying her access, but what could it be? He had been something reminiscent of a friend. What changed? She couldn't think of something she said that could be taken as an insult. Perhaps it was simply one of his infamous mood swings. . . . It just seemed different. Hermione bit her lip contemplating the intricacies of Severus Snape's subconscious: an activity that would make a girl so lost that she would certainly have a migraine afterwards. What could she do?
Beginning to get worried about his hair freezing, Severus was about to go in when he saw the original know-it-all Gryffindor loping towards him. "Go away, Lupin."
"I saw the argument you had with Miss Granger."
"You and half the school," Severus scoffed.
"It was a low blow to blame her hair. Especially when you aren't an expert in good hair care."
"Yes, let me take advice on my hair from a werewolf."
"Severus, I am only trying to help you. You don't have many friends, period. Why push someone away who is actually asking to spend time with you?"

Lovely story - I like the moving back and forth between Hermione and Snape.
YES! YES! YES! at last, my God he's hard work, but so worth it.
Well don't just sit there in a stupor girl, don't let him just kiss and run, get after him and snog him into submission ,
Someone needs to lock these two in a room , and let them fight untill they come to their senses, and admit they love eachother.
Hermione, take the compliment as an apologie, it may be as good as you get.
Severus quite the marksman, he never misses ,he always shoots himself in the foot.
Poor Severus, in the hands of yet another well meaning Griffindor.
To right Remus, it was a very low blow. 
Somehow I don't think Hermione's hair is the problem, something else has gotten under Severus' skin.
Ignoring Severus sounds like a good idea, but it's easyer said than done.
Hermione is no better than Severus.
Yes! Courage and persistence pays off in the end.
this was truly deelightful. of course they would both be utterly obtuse.
They were a bit slow, but they figured it out. :)
Well, they got there in the end. It's amazing what silly little arguments can reveal.
Thanks for sharing!
Well, I think that should make things obvious to her now. Wow on the kiss, it says way more than words.
Oh jealousy and self-denial!
Oh silly, oblivious woman! I love that Ginny knows and knows Hermione should, but doesn't. The not so subtle hint still went partially over her head, as her subconscious is trying to reveal it to her. Well done!
Wow, Severus participated and let Hermione know her intelligence wasn't a motivator for his denial.
Ah, to the crux of the matter. At least he's admitting to himself that he likes her.
He he he, "manipulative" Remus sounds quite fun. He see's what Severus and Hermione don't see, doesn't he? (Gah, that sounded quite convoluted, didn't it?)
Ahahah. The letter to Ginny is so realistic! Love plans between girlfriends. I can see myself in that situation ^^
Intriguing start to your story. (Off to read more.)
This is a very nice ending. I'm glad you found it in you to finish this little tale.
Cute, thank you!
