Disclaimer:
I do not own Harry Potter or the song Sometime Around Midnight. All rights got toJ.K Rowling and the band The Airborne Toxic Event. I make no money from the writing of this story.
Ch 2
A/N: Inspiration struck me at work. I’ve wanted to use this song for a story for a while but didn’t know where to start. So here’s my best shot.
Italics= flashbacks
Warning: non DH compliant, meaning Snape is alive.

Snape’s POV
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
It was a half an hour later and she still hadn’t made an appearance. I was beginning to wonder if she had left when I caught sight of her again. It would appear that she saw me too, because she started to walk towards me. The room had started to spin a little, a fact that I would have liked to contribute to the drink in my hand if it had not only been my second one. I was tempted to flee from her approaching figure but then I looked into her eyes and I was frozen where I stood. When she finally made it near me, through the crowed room, she said,
“Hello Severus, how are you,” then she leaned in and hugged me. I was so shocked I didn’t respond at first, but then my brain kicked in and I wrapped my arms around her small frame. As I stood there, hugging her, I inhaled deeply. She still used the same perfume and that took me back to another time.
It was four years prior, at the beginning of the war. We had been seeing each other in secret for a few months. I was someone else when I was with her, I was the man I wanted to be, not who I was expected to be. She knew this and reveled in it. When she was not in class, in the library studying, or helping the those dunderheaded boys, she was with me. We spent as much time in my bed as out. We talked and connected and made love. I would hold her in my arms for hours. There, with her, I felt complete. But I had left her, I had to, to protect her. Only she hadn’t seen it that way.
I held her a moment longer than necessary. It felt good and I didn’t want to let her go. I don’t know if she noticed, but whether she did or not she didn’t say anything. When I let her go she pulled back slightly, smiling, and looked me in the eyes.
“It’s nice to see you again Severus,” she said still standing quite close to me.
“Hermione, always a pleasure,” I responded, I couldn’t keep a smile from my face. I can turn my cold mask of indifference on many people, but not with her, not ever. “What have you been up to” I asked, hating myself for making small talk.
“Oh nothing much. I’m working at the Ministry in the Wizengamot as a junior member of the council” she replied. “Are you still teaching at Hogwarts?”
“Yes I am,” I said, “Draco Malfoy is apprenticing with me,” I added.
“Oh, what an honor for him,” she said with a smile. We stood there in silence for another few moments before she said, “Well I must be going. I have to find my guest, he must have wondered off.”
“Of course, I’m sorry from keeping you from your date,” I said quietly. I couldn’t keep the hint of sadness that crept in my voice. I hated myself for it.
“It’s been so wonderful speaking with you again Severus,” she said while staring strait into my eyes. Before I could figure out what was going on she had leant up and placed a soft kiss on my cheek. She pulled back slowly and said quietly, “Good bye, Severus” and walked away with out looking back. I couldn’t look away from her retreating form. Finally, when she had been swallowed up by the crowed, I forced myself to walk over to the bar and I ordered another drink.
And so there's a change...
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
I sat at the bar for the remainder of the night downing several more drinks in the process. Draco came to find me some time around one o’clock to tell me he was leaving to ask if I needed help getting home. I responded with an annoyed look and a role of my eyes. Every once in a while, while I was staring out in the crowed, I would spot her talking with someone or dancing with the young man she had apparently came with. Every time I happened to catch a glimpse of her I couldn’t help the memories that came flooding into my mind, memories I had kept at bay for a long time.
It was a night close to the end. We were lying in my bed after a very satisfying encounter. I was holding her against my body and she had fallen asleep in my arms. All I could do was gaze at her while she slept in my arms. Over come with emotion I bowed my head to place a light kiss to her forehead. “I love you Hermione,” I had said quietly into her ear. She had surprised me when, sleepily, she replied, “Love you too Severus.” as she snuggled closer to me in her sleep. I couldn’t help the swelling in my chest at those words and I fell asleep with her in my arms.
If I had known then, that it would be one of the last times I would have her in my arms I wouldn’t have let go. I let go of these thoughts and ordered my fifth drink of the night.
