“Enter,” Severus called.
The door opened slowly, to let in a blushing Hermione Granger. “G-good afternoon, sir,” she said as she approached his desk.
“Afternoon, Ms. Granger,” he answered her neutrally. He smirked slightly when she startled and looked up at him. When she didn't say anything right away, he spoke. “Are you just here to stare, or did you have something to say, Ms. Granger?”
“I- Well, no, I wanted to- well,”
“Ms. Granger.”
“Thank you, sir,” she finished hurriedly.
Severus frowned. Sometimes Hermione seemed very sensible, for her age. Other times...“For what, Ms. Granger?”
“You...you fixed it,” she said quietly. “I- I mean him. Harry.”
“I assure you, Ms. Granger,” Severus told her wryly. “I did not 'fix' Harry.”
“You didn't?” the girl asked, sounding confused, “Then who did? He's happy again.”
Severus shook his head. Silly girl. “Very well, Ms. Granger. In that sense, yes, I did 'fix' him.” Finally, he smiled. Hermione's eyes nearly bugged out of her head. “I am glad that he is happy.”
“What'd you do?” she wanted to know.
“Harry has not told you?” He wasn't actually particularly surprised. It had been a very emotional and personal conversation for both of them, and Harry was not one to crow news at the top of his lungs as Ronald or Theodore might.
“No...should he have?”
“As usual, that is his choice. I will allow him the time to tell you, or not, as he wishes. If you know what is good for you you will not pressure him.”
“Y-yes sir,” Hermione answered him.
“Good. Now allow me to return to my work, please.”
“Yes sir.”
