When Love Is Real

Nightmare from the dungeon

Hermione Granger, has been asked officially by Professor Minerva Mcgonagall to teach at hogwarts as the potions teacher, because Professor Slughorn has decided to spend his retire time.

Hermione accepted that job happily because finally she found a job. Harry has married with Ginny, Ron with Luna, Hermione is still a single girl.

"So, for your first time to teach, i know you're really good at all, you're gonna sleep in the dungeon," said Prof Mcgonagall to her in Headmaster's office.

"Dungeon ? That Prof. Snape was using for his chamber long time ago?" Hermione asked

"Yes, don't worry, everything's okay, the chamber has been left for the last 19 years, Prof. Slughorn refused to sleep there,"

"But, i meant, it's hard to me not getting sunshine all over the year," Hermione answered

"No, dear. It's okay. You're just gonna stay there while you want to sleep in the night," Mcgonagall answered.

"Honestly, professor, i didn't wanna sleep where prof. Snape used to sleep," Hermione said honestly.

"What's wrong with that?" Asked Minerva in a curious voice.

"I just didn't like him,"

"Oh Hermione, i thought you could forget what he has done to you, we knew that he is the hero, and he won't be angry if you sleep in his old chamber, his portrait even didn't show up in Headmaster's office, as you could see, he has gone somewhere, no one knows," Answered Minerva in a soft voice.

"Okay, i will take it, and, goodnight professor," said Hermione politely as she stood up from the chair.

"Don't call me professor, just call me by my name, now you're my colleague," said Minerva.

"Okay, " she answered shortly

"Goodnight too, Hermione," Minerva smiled and Hermione left the office.

She entered the dungeon and saw all the thing from 21 years ago never changed. But, when she got to Snape's old chamber, she found that chamber seemed like never touched for a thousand years, because it was really a mess chamber. Hermione believes that Snape was the last one who slept here, in her fifth years, 21 years ago.

Then she realised that some things untouched for years ware still there. There was Snape's book upon the table, and a wardrobe, Hermione opened the wardrobe and found an old pyjama, it was grey, and that was Snape's.

Suddenly, she smelt something. It smells like Snape's body, like a bitterness and old shoes from that pyjama. It means that pyjama never touched by someone else for years. Hermione set that pyjama and some Snape's old clothes in a place, then she tidied up that room, placed her clothes in the wardrobe and then she laid on that bed.

The Potions Master's scent still smelled in that room even he has left it for 21 years. Hermione could not sleep well, but finally she could after she was too tired of thinking.

"Miss. Granger, what are you doing in my chamber?" A sarcastic voice whispered in her ear. She recognised that voice. It was her potion master's.

"Professors Snape, I'm sorry, but Minerva asked to sleep here," she answered as she saw that man. He is Severus Snape. Standing on the corner on the chamber, wearing black cape as he wore the day he died. He was thinner from the last day Hermione saw her, and even paler.

"Really?" The man didn't make a move.

"But professor, you died, didn't you?"

"That's none of your business , and yeah, i died. But, this chamber is mine,"

"Professor, why don't you show up in the headmaster's office?"

"The Insufferable know it all doesn't stop asking questions even after all this time, eh?" He answered sarcastically.

"But, professor?"

Hermione didn't remember what happened next because she was waken up by a sound. Oh, her muggle watch. It was 06:25. It's almost breakfast time. She took a bath and dressed, then joined the others.

During the breakfast time, she couldn't stop thinking about her dream last night. It was about Professor Snape. He looked so real, and it felt like that's not a dream. The man was standing on the corner of that chamber.

"Hermione dear, how was your night?" Minerva asked in a tender voice, Hermione's imagination broken. She realised Minerva paid attention on her.

"Yeah, it was nice," she answered. At first, she planned on telling Minerva about her dream, but she called it off.

"How was that chamber? It was long time ago since my last time visited it," Minerva asked again.

"It was nice," Hermione answered and took a ship for her juice.

"Well, you could bring prof. Snape's old clothes to me and we will get rid of it,"

"Oh, i just let those clothes there, they didn't disturb me anyway," said Hermione lazily.

"Oh okay dear, now where's the first class you take?"

"My schedule for today is in the first year students,"

"Do your best, girl," Minerva stood up and left the big hall. Hermione finished her breakfast, as she saw Draco sit next to professor Hagrid.

"Draco, are you teaching here?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm the defence against the dark teacher, I've been working here for the last two years," Draco answered calmly.

"I thought you might work for the ministry,"

"The ministry doesn't accept the former death eaters, so my dad asked me to work here, and Minerva agreed," Draco answered.

" 'Mione, how is Harry?" Hagrid asked.

"I thought he is fine, i didn't accept any letter from him since the last summer, he is busy with his job,"

"Oh, I'm just missing him," said Hagrid.

"So am i, and I'm gonna go to class right now, my first time to teach the students, see you guys next time," Hermione stood up and went to the class.

"So, this is your first year, we are gonna make the cure for boils, and i hope you can brew it nicely," she said as she saw a little girl with no friend.

"What's your name?" She asked the girl

"Penelope, professor," she answered.

"Now, you can brew your potion, i will help you," Hermione said smiley and the little girl looked excited.

"Thank you, professor,"

"Anytime,".
