My Pupil and I, VII
Chapter 17 of 26
FicklePenA romantic drabble series based on Hermione Granger and Severus Snape’s relationship post-war.
ReviewedVII.
They were conversing quietly when he noticed her gaze straying to the hidden photograph beneath his pillow.
His breath caught in his throat as she frowned and reached for it, no doubt believing it to be a piece of rubbish left by one of the nurses.
He could do nothing to stop her: he hadn’t told her that he could finally move his hands. He didn’t know why, but buried deep within his subconscious, he was concerned that if Miss Granger did find out, she would declare her job complete and leave, never to return again.
And so he watched with growing horror as her delicate fingers pulled the photograph away, ready to crumple it, until her eyes froze upon the waving image of a pretty, young woman.
A woman with deep red hair and eerily familiar eyes.
There was a terrible moment when he thought she would laugh at him. Or cry.
Of course, she did nothing of the sort.
Instead, she placed the photograph back beneath his pillow and calmly informed him, in an oddly tight voice, that she had forgotten to do something incredibly important.
And then, she was gone.

AN: Again, apologies to all! Thanks to everyone for sticking with me, I know it's annoying when authors don't update. I seem to be making a habit of disappearing, but I will finish this even if it kills me. On an exciting note, I got an offer to study Japanese at university! (still holding out for my first choice uni) YAY!

Yes, Miss Granger, do tempt him.
It would be a wonderful thing for him to lift his hand and gently touch the tip of her nose. Now we'll see if he accepts her challenge.
