She glared at him. "You shouldn't be here."

"Hermione," he said softly, walking towards her.

She backed away, her eyes never leaving his.

He kept coming forward, she didn't move, her body stiffening at his close proximity. He stopped directly in front of her and reached out. Gently he cupped her face with his hand. She closed her eyes instinctively and leaned against his hand.

"You shouldn't be here, Severus," she repeated though unconvincingly.

"There's something you need to hear."

Opening her eyes, she looked at him. "That doesn't mean you should be here. Don't start something you can't finish."

"What if I want to finish it, Hermione?" His piercing eyes held hers captive in a moment of silence.

"I didn't if you wanted to; I said you couldn't. There's a difference," she whispered in a soft voice.

"Not to me," Severus leaned down and stopped where his lips was a mere inch from hers. She could feel is hot breath on her face, she closed her eyes again to relish in the nearness. She leaned forward, making him back up so that their lips didn't touch. Part of her wished he wouldn't stand so close. "Love, don't you—"

She cut him off, pulling away abruptly. "We can't do this. We can't—" The tears that were building in her eyes choked her for a moment. "You can't be there. We can't together."

"We are together." He didn't allow her to respond, and closed the small gap between them. The kiss was passionate, and long, neither one of them wanting to break it. Severus pulled away reluctantly and looked in her eyes. "Run away with me."

Hermione felt at a loss for words. She could tell he meant that, and it scared her that she wanted to say yes.

"I can't run away with you, Severus," Hermione whispered, tears filling her eyes.

"Why not?" he asked in a voice that was both confused and amused.

"I have duties. Obligations. Friends. I have a life here, I can't just up and leave it."

"Even to be with me?" he prompted.

"Even to be with you."

Silence fell between them. Hermione felt as if her heart was breaking bit by bit as the impact of her answer began to show on his face.

"I'm confused," he admitted. "How can your friends be obligations?"

"I didn't say that! Don't twist my words!"

Anger that the question had caused disappeared as quickly as it begin. "I'm sorry, Severus."

He leaned down and kissed her on her forehead, a sexless kiss. "I know. I'm not surprised though."

It was Hermione's turn to be confused. "What?"

"I'm not surprised you won't run away—"

"It's not that I won't, it's that I can't." She sighed.

"No, Hermione. You won't. You won't follow your heart. You won't be with me. It's not that we shouldn't; it's that you won't."

Hermione stared at him in both shock and hurt. "I love you..."

"Then run away with me."
