Hermione walked through the corridors. She turned around a corner and bumped into someone. "Oh sorr-'"She stopped talking when she saw it was Severus. She smiled at him. "Hey." 

He smiled. "Hello. Where are you going? Ah, the library." 

Hermione narrowed her eyes. She was a good Occlumens, but Severus still got into her mind. "Yes. And can you stop doing that? It's quite irritating when someone reads your mind you know." 

He smirked. He looked sooo adorable with that smirk on his face, that Hermione just wanted nothing then kiss him. Wait, what? 

His smile grew bigger. "Kiss, huh?"

 Hermione blushed. She was sure she looked like a tomato. She immediately shoot in defense. "No! I-I..I was thinking sarcastically." 

That was a very lame excuse and she knew it. 

"I don't think you thought sarcastically, sweetheart." 

"Well, I'm pretty sure I was thinking sarcastically."

He smirked. "Really? Let's find out." 

Hermione's eyes grew big. His face came closer and his lips touched hers.

Hermione woke up with a fast beating heart. She closed her eyes again and let out a breath. It hadn't been real. She felt odd. Why did she dreamed this? And why did she feel so.. happy? 

She tried to shake it off and fall asleep again, but it wouldn't happen. She sighed. She stood up and walked out off her dorm. The common room was empty. She slipped out off the common room too and past the Fat Lady. She watched her with an not-understanding look, but didn't say anything. 

Hermione decided she just needed a walk. It was night, so she would have to watch out for Filch. The castle was quiet. Everybody was asleep. It was peaceful. She already calmed down a bit. She continued to walk undetected for fifteen minutes or so, when she suddenly heard a sound behind her. She spun around and looked through the hallway, searching for any sign of Filch or Miss Norris. 

The first thing she saw was a candle dooming up, quickly followed by the face of Severus. 

Great. The person she tried to escape from, had found her.

 "Hermione?" He asked sleepy. "What are you doing here on this ungodly hour?" 

She moved uncomfortably at her spot. "Nightmare..?" She mumbled. 

It wasn't nightmare, she was quite sure of that, but what else did she had to say? Hey Sev, I dreamed about kissing you. I felt a bit strange and decided to take a walk in the middle of the night. 

No way. 

His face turned concerned. "Are you alright? Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked worried. 

She smiled weakly. "I'm fine." 

His face looked already a bit happier.

 "But I don't wanna talk about it, okay?" 

He nodded. "Of course." 

They stayed silent for a few minutes before Hermione spoke. "What are you doing here?" "I'm on patrol now." 

It became silent again.

 It was quite awkward.

 "Well, uhm.. I think I can go back to my dorm now." 

He nodded. "I will escort you, if it doesn't bother you." Hermione smiled. He was such a gentleman. Severus smiled too. 

Hermione wondered if he had read her mind again. They walked in silence. When they arrived, Hermione smiled at him. "Thanks for bringing me." He returned her smile. 

"No problem." 

Hermione pressed a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight, Sev." 

She walked into the common room, leaving a shocked Severus and a squealing Fat Lady behind her.
