Guess Who 2
Chapter 2 of 2
DawnEBIt grew a bit.
Three more lots of 100.
Reviewed"Mr Weasley?" enquired Minerva, indicating the garish card in Hermione's hands.
Hermione frowned. "Actually, no. This was from Ron." She pushed forward a large card that featured an animated scene of Cupid attempting to hit a large red heart with his tiny arrows while Ron flew about in his Quidditch uniform using his Keeper skills to repulse them. He had obviously failed to realise the significance of Cupid's Darts.
Studying the unsigned monstrosity in her hands, her thoughts drifted sadly to what kind of token the darkly fascinating man beside her might have sent, if only he had been inclined.
Hermione let out a heavy sigh of frustration. Severus looked up from his steaming mug. "Still fretting over that thing, I see. I really don't see the problem. Surely the point is for it to be anonymous?"
"Actually, I think the point is that you should be able to guess who sent it. That way you can indicate if the sentiment is reciprocated, or pretend ignorance if it isn't." She saw a look of surprised understanding pass over Snape's face for the barest moment.
"I... see," he said slowly, frowning at the card, and Hermione felt a twinge of.... hope?
Snape saw the smile and sideways glances Hermione had been giving him.
He thought he was being so clever, sending the card and watching her suffer in her need to know who had sent it, but it seemed as if his lack of experience in Valentines tradition was going to backfire on him. She knew he'd sent it. Trouble was, he wasn't sure anymore why he had, or how he wanted her to react.
Deep in cogitation, he froze when hands covered his eyes. A soft kiss was bestowed on his cheek followed by a whispered, "Guess who."
He smiled.

Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)

One word - Spinster 
Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)
Hmm, touché...except I've given you MORE chapters--and each chapter was more than just a handful of 100-word vignettes. (Very good vignettes, I will admit...)~Lotm
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
Well, a girl can try :)
What a wonderful little ending. Thank you so much for writing just a bit more.
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
I just couldn't resist Thanks for the reviews
Severus is a sneaky devil! Indeed, no one would ever guess that such a schmaltzy card could ever come from a Slytherin -- let alone the Potions Master! That sounds like a card worthy of a Hufflepuff, if you ask me -- and actually, even though I'd still appreciate the gesture, a card like that would nevertheless offend my sensibilities! I mean...kittens and a cupid and a furry pink heart?? One, maybe (and I do mean maybe) -- but not all three! A very cute little vignette -- any hope of seeing a sequel from Hermione's point of view? I think it would be interesting to see her reaction, even if she didn't manage to figure out that the card is from Severus...
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
I think the response has just been validated 
Oh. My. Dear. God. *screams and runs for cover...where her laughter is carefully muffled in a red satin, ruffle-trimmed, heart-shaped pillow, bwahahahahaha*~Lotm
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
hehe. Thanks :)
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
hehe. Thanks :)
I loved Ron's card.
LOL, oh that's cute. I hope you write other side of this Valentine.
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
Funny you should mention that...
Response from ancientgirl (Reviewer)
Yay! I'll keep my eyes open for that one!
Nice twist at the end, and I love twists! I also like how you used precisely the amount of words it took to get your point across.
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
Thanks. I enjoy the challenge of drabbles - makes you think more about the words and how you use them :)
lol. Nice.
And here I was thinking it was something some idiot student had had the not so bright idea to give to him...
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
Hehe, no, just a touch of Slytherin sneakiness.
Bwahahahahah!!!!! Tooo funny!! Love it!
Response from DawnEB (Author of Guess Who)
Thank you :)
