Chapter 20 of 26
FicklePenA romantic drabble series based on Hermione Granger and Severus Snape’s relationship post-war.

He didn’t know who was more surprised upon her return. Miss Granger or himself.
Over the next hour, she read to him in an increasingly stilted voice.
It pained him to see her floundering.
“–I apologise, Miss Granger,” he interrupted, no longer able to tolerate the farce of companionship. “My words were uncalled for and I… I sincerely regret them.” Apologising had never been his forte, and even now he found the words difficult to articulate.
She stopped abruptly, staring at the pages before her with frighteningly blank eyes.
Severus awaited her judgement, uneasiness simmering in the pit of his stomach.
“I believe my name is Hermione, sir,” she responded quietly.
His gaze flew towards her, disbelief warring with hope.
Miss Granger – Hermione’s – lips twitched, heralding the beginning of a secret smile.
A smile that put all smiles to shame.

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.
I love this story! Thank you for this update.
