(Hermione's dream)

Hermione glided down the staircase in a silk green ball gown. She looked about twenty five years old. She looked down at a tall figure at the bottom. She reached the bottom of the stairs and took his arm. She smiled up into the face of Severus Snape. Surprisingly, he smiled back at her. They walked together into the Great Hall.

In the Great Hall, all the tables were pushed back, to make way for the students. Professor McGonagall came up behind them suddenly.

"Oh, Hermione! I mean Professor Granger," Minerva said proudly winking at her, "The ball is going to be a hit!"

"Thank you Minerva!" Hermione said gratefully, "Has the band arrived yet?"

"They are just practicing behind the stage right now," Minerva explained. She looked over at Severus and smiled, then moved towards Hermione's ear.

"Have fun," she teased. Hermione rolled her eyes and walked over to the stage. She picked up a microphone.

"Good evening students and teachers. I would like all the students to come out onto the dance floor while I introduce our special guests," Hermione announced, "I am proud to present…THE LIBERTINES!" The students screamed and ran out onto the floor. Hermione walked off the stage and back over to Severus.

"You always had a way with words," he murmured into her ear. Hermione giggled.

"Would you…umm…care to dance?" Severus asked nervously.

"I would be delighted," Hermione replied, curtsying. Minerva and Albus watched from the other end of the room. Minerva smiled at Hermione.

"I've never seen Severus so happy before…" she trailed off. Albus quietly agreed as he sipped his drink.

Severus led Hermione down onto the dance floor. He swept her into his arms as a slower song came on. They danced until midnight. Then, first and second years were sent off to bed. Hermione was starting to get tired. At around three in the morning, the band packed up and went home.

"Would you like a drink?" Severus asked quietly.

"Yes please," Hermione answered.

"Hermione!" Minerva called.

"Yes?"

"I think it's about time to send the other students off to bed," she said, looking around at the half-asleep students in seats.

Hermione walked back onto the stage one last time and told the remaining students to go to bed. After the teachers had ushered them out the door, Albus called all the teachers up to the front.

"I would like to congratulate Professor Granger for organizing this event and making it a complete success," he croaked loudly. The teachers turned towards Hermione and clapped. Severus almost giggled when she blushed. Actually, it came out more like "Ahgmmm" in a really girly way. This made all the teachers turn from Hermione, to Severus. He was extremely embarrassed.

"I think we should all go to bed now," Albus quickly interrupted. Severus walked Hermione back to her quarters. She opened her door and looked back at him.

"I had a great time tonight Severus," she murmured into his ear.

"That's good, because I was hoping you would accompany me to the Ministry dinner on Friday night," he announced.

"I'd love to!" she replied enthusiastically and hugged him closely.

"I love you," she whispered into his ear.

"I love you too."

She pulled back from him and kissed him passionately. Severus moaned into her mouth as she put more pressure. She forced his lips open as her tongue found it's way inside his mouth. Their tongues battled as the kiss became deeper. Severus pulled away for just a moment.

"Should we take this inside?" he asked cheekily, cocking one eyebrow. Hermione giggled as he swung her over his shoulder and carried her through the door.

(End of Hermione's dream)

"So that's why you've been so nice to him!" Ron yelled as soon as the dream ended.

"You like Professor Snape!" Draco exclaimed and started to laugh. Hermione scowled at him.

"Where is Professor Snape anyway?" Seamus asked suddenly. Everyone looked around the room in confusion.

Meanwhile, Snape was in his room. His heart was pounding and he couldn't think straight.

"I hope they didn't notice me leave," Snape hoped, looking down at his raging erection, "What is this girl doing to me?"

He tried to calm himself as he checked his watch. He almost had a heart attack when he realized it was seven o'clock. He checked himself over again and walked back to the students in the next room. They all stared at him in shock as he walked in.

"What?" he snapped.

"Sir… your umm…your fly is undone," Hermione stuttered, her face turning red.

The End.

Notes: I think you will all know what Snape did there! LOL! Hope you liked the story Pleas R&R!
