Severus's pov

The summer was rough. I was in St. Mungo's for the most part for my snake bites from the Dark Lord's bloody snake. Then I drank away most nights thinking; 'Why did Potter and his friends save me?' I was utterly confused at the whole situation.

Today, the students come back. I helped with the last part of the rebuilding, and it looks as good as new.

Taptaptap

I walked over to the window to see my new friend, Hermione Granger's owl, Eddy. I took the letter, gave the owl a treat, then shood it away. I opened the letter.

Dear Severus,

I went to the doctor to get the results of the blood test I took last week. My white blood cell count was low, so they took another test. Severus I have a type of cancer called Lukiema. I have six months maybe a year to live. I had just began a new friendship with you, and now it's ruined. I'll see you later today at the feast.

Hermione Granger.

What, she was dying? I have to tell her, I have to.

Hermione's pov

I boarded the train and pulled Ginny and Harry into a cart and locked the door.

"Mione, why are you acting so weird?" Asked a anxious Harry.

"Yeah, you seem a bit jumpy." Ginny said, sitting down next to Harry.

"This won't be easy to tell you because you might not understand. Well you might Harry. I have a muggle disease called Lukiema, it's a type of cancer. I have six months, maybe a year to live." I said through tears.

"Oh Mione! I'm so sorry!" Said Harry. Ginny was crying.

"How long have you known?" She asked.

"Since yesterday." I said. She just nodded. It was going to be a long day.

We arrived at Hogwarts and I was so tired. When we walked into the Great Hall, I saw Severus and remembered the letter I had sent him. He looked rough.

"Excuse me guys, I'm not really hungry. I'm going to go to my room." I made eye contact with Severus's beautiful black eyes, and walked out. As soon as I got to the RoR, I heard footsteps.

"Hermione." He said and then engulfed me in a hug. I have to admit, he smelled really nice. I've liked him since fifth year, but I couldn't tell him. Student-Teacher relationships are against school rules.

"Hermione, I'm worried. Why didn't you eat tonight?" He asked, not letting go of me.

"Lets go into the RoR before someone sees us and gets the wrong idea." I said. The big doors appeared and I walked in with Severus close behind me.

"Hermione, you need to eat. Its not good for your cancer." He said.

"I'm not hungry, plus the medication I'm on won't let me eat, I just throw it back up." Speaking of throwing up, I had to. A bucket appeared and I threw up into it. I felt Severus's slender and cold fingers on my neck and I felt him hold my hair back. I threw up three more times, even though I hadn't eaten anything.

"Do you want to see Madame Pomfrey?" He asked. I just shook my head.

"She wouldn't know what to do." I said. Magic born people don't know what to do in cases like mine, that's why I came back to Hogwarts. I guess you could say to spent the last few months with my friends before I die.

"Hermione, there's something I need to tell you." Severus said calmly. I got nervous, but I think I knew what it was about.

"Yes, Severus?" I said as calmly as I could. He looked me dead in the eyes and took my hand in his.

"Hermione, every since you and your friends saved me, and you came to visit me in the hospital, I think I've grown to like you." He said.

"Severus, I know. We're friends-" I was interrupted by him.

"Not like friends Hermione. More than friends." He said as he looked out the window.

"Severus, I have something to say as well. I like you too, but Student- Teacher Relationships are strictly forbidden." I said.

"Well, no one has to know." He said, and this surprised me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"If we do peruse a relationship, no one needs to know." He was right.

"You're right." I got up and walked over to the fireplace. I felt him walk up behind me. I turned around and I felt his soft lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him back. He broke the kiss and I stood there with my head on his chest.

Well, there you go! The confession and the kiss. Hope you liked it and new chapter up later. Bye!!!
