Here You Come Again

A/N: This was written for my wonderful friend and beta Kizzy7 as a gift for her recent birthday. Kizzy is intruiged that a lot of my stories are inspired by the music I have been listening to, so to make her smile, I did this Dolly Parton inspired thing. Even I was shocked at how the lyrics worked with the story in the end!

Please Note: It is NOT meant to be too serious - it's really to poke some friendly fun at the whole fandom.I have tried to include as many SSHG cliche's as I can. I hope it at least makes you smile!

Thanks to sshg316 for looking this over and dealing with errant commas and shocking grammar.




1.Here You Come Again

'Here you come again,
Just as I've begun to get myself together.
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger'


Dolly Parton.


The door opened swiftly, and Severus looked up from his careful stirring with a raised eyebrow and a scowl ready for whomever had dared to interrupt his brewing without prior notice.

'Granger,' he growled softly from between his gritted, uneven teeth.

Hermione flashed him a bright smile. 'Good to see you too, Severus. Good holiday?' She turned from him as she removed her outdoor clothing.

'It must be snowing,' he mused, staring at the damp, melting flakes that clung to her curls and fell as insignificant drops of water as she loosened the ridiculously long lurid pink scarf from around her neck.

'It's just started snowing,' Hermione said with a touch of joy in her voice.

'I'd never have guessed,' he retorted, 'Ten points from Gryffindor for stating the bloody obvious.'

'Full of Christmas cheer then?' Hermione snapped. As Severus looked up from his brew, he noticed with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and also, dammit, his nether regions, that she was standing legs akimbo with her hands on her hips.

'Was it Christmas? Never noticed,' he said blandly.

'Why can't we ever have a normal conversation?' Hermione sighed with sad resignation. 'You could have said, 'Yes, I had a lovely holiday, and how was yours, Hermione? Did you receive any nice gifts?', but No! Always with the sarcasm and the quick retort. For fucks' sake, Severus. We have worked together in this lab for the past three years. I had thought we might even be friends by now.'

Without waiting for a response, Hermione walked into the inner office to gather her paperwork for the day, leaving Severus standing open-mouthed and staring after her.

The two week Christmas break had always been a torturous drag. Now it was even worse, because Hermione always left him behind.

'Fuck it,' he muttered.
