Author's Notes: Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] remusseverus! I hope you like this. It's weird how nothing ever comes out the way I plot it in my head before. Nevertheless, I hope you still like it and had a fabulous birthday like you deserve! (This is also a taste, though it most likely won't be exact, of my plot bunny I have in my head for a chapter length Snape/Hermione so I think that's how my drabble plot bunny got distorted.)

"What do you want?" he asked. He voice was pitched softly, but there was a hard edge to it, showing that he was an unbending man.

She tilted her head and stared up at him, her brown eyes shining with affection, concern, and loyalty. "I want you to admit it to me."

"Admit what?"

She slid her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. He was stiff in her arms, but it didn't detour her. "Admit you need me," she whispered against his chest. She hated being vulnerable, and she was grateful that due to her position in his unwilling arms she couldn't see his face or he hers.

"I don't need anyone." He grabbed her arms and peeled her arms from around his waist roughly.

She glared up at the stubborn man. "You need me," she whispered insistently.

He didn't say anything, just met her glare with a murderous one of his own.

"You need me," she insisted again, holding eye contact as she reached up and stroked the side of his face.

He quickly pulled his face from her reach. "I don't--" he started.

"You need me. You just hate needing me. Or anyone. Merlin, Severus, you may actually love me." Her voice caught in her throat as she looked up at him, tears gathering in her eyes at the look of hatred and denial in his eyes.

"Love you?" he repeated with pure distain in his voice. "I can't love you... Mudblood."

The insult knocked her backwards as if he had slapped her. She stumbled backwards creating distance between them. "You don't mean that," she whispered, her voice broken and soft.

"Granger, what else could I mean? Love you? You're a Mudblood; you're beneath me."

Suddenly a strong feeling of anger swamped over her, making her glare up at him with renewed vigor. "Damn you, Snape. You are a stubborn, insolent man!"

"Yet you are standing here, trying to get me to confess my supposed love for you. You're stupid too." It wasn't a question; it was a fact.

She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and shook her head. "You saved my life."

He smiled at her. It was a sick smile from a sadistic humor he found in her words. "I saved many people, Granger. It was war."

"You saved me."

"Granger, do you not understand the happenings of war? Did Hogwarts or your prior Muggle education fail to teach you such?"

"Stop it!" she screamed, his cruel words making her physically ill.

"Stop what? Telling the truth? You're a Mudblood, a silly little girl. If I had had a real choice you'd be dead now."

She glared at him, feeling hurt and anger both at his words. "How could you say that?"

"I only say the truth, Granger. Only the truth."

"That night..."

"That night was a mistake. In the middle of war. A mistake I wish I could take back."

She glared at him. She couldn't believe the bravo he had to say these things, to dismiss their night as a mistake. She turned around to leave, but stopped. Slowly she turned back to the man and asked, "Can I give you some advice before I leave?"

"If you must, Granger," he allowed in a slow and deliberate voice.

"I must. My advice is not to tell a woman you love her, during even a night you will see as a mistake, if you don’t." She didn't wait for his response. She left the Spinner's End, and slammed the door behind her departure creating an echo.

Really good, Jess -- though he's totally being irrational -- HE's a a Mudblood too! ;)

So you got the point? He was being totally irrational and stubborn (read: dumb). I got my point across! Wahoo! Seriously, isn't Snape's self-hatred part of the reason he's so damn great? At least for me it is. ;)

Thank you, Jess!

ROTFLMAO!


Then WHY can't you like Kara. She is FULL of self-hate! *giggles*

Snape hasn't intentionally broken someone heart's that he claimed to love. At least not canonly. AND I just don't. Something about Kara makes me skin crawl. Even though I wouldn't want her hurt, I just don't like her. *gags* Plus I like Lee and I want to keep him for myself. *evil laugh* (joking)

But yes, Snape's self-hatred is very much while I adore him.

HA HA HA! I'm NOT joking and I want to keep him for myself. Him and Jim. and Draco. ;)

Draco is MINE. You may have Jim... Can we share Lee?

Date: 2006-12-17 08:55 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jandjsalmon.livejournal.com
Draco can be yours the same way that Kara is Sam's. I will be the 'Lee' in this metaphore. ;)

We CAN share Lee though -- I'll take him on every day that ends in Y. And thanks for Jim. (See -- you're giving HIM up without a fight. You must really be scared of my skills!)

*pokes her* NO. I get him every day that ends with Y, woman!

AND no, Draco is mine. I am both Lee and Sam to him.

Date: 2006-12-17 08:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jandjsalmon.livejournal.com
You can't be both Lee and Sam. That's technically impossible. One is the incredibly hunky bestfriend/frakbuddy and the other is the incredibly ripped and smouldering husband who knows he will always be second best. Sorry. Impossible. ;)

From: [identity profile] rarity.livejournal.com
I can be both. I'm just that damned good that I can be both! I have a split personality -- didn't you know? :P

HA HA HA HA!

Yes Yes i did know. I' have spoken to the 'other' Jess many a time! ;)

*her evil manic laughter echoes*

I see you see my point now. I get Draco on days that end with Y; I am both Lee and Sam in the way they are to Kara to Lee (did that make sense?); you may have Jim all to yourself. At least until I watch the Office and decide otherwise.

HA HA HA! I must find a brilliant clip of Jim so you can see the magic that is him... Let me go see...

Clealy I need another Jim icon...
This song is really pretty andit shows a bit of him... but I'm going to see if I can find an actual clip... he's too cute not to. (cute as in adorable)

Date: 2006-12-17 09:17 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rarity.livejournal.com
Oh he is adorable. But in the best friend, adorable way not in the sexy and suave way. I adore my men sexy and sauve (like Lee and Draco). So you may have Jim still. Good song, too. It makes me wish I watched the show a little. ;)

From: [identity profile] jandjsalmon.livejournal.com
Jim can be sexy and suave! You should see the say he gets all smirky... *goes off to find the best Sexy Jim clip*

Date: 2006-12-17 09:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rarity.livejournal.com
Are you trying to get me to take him from you? He's adorable in the best friend, kind of awkward but still adorable way. There's nothing wrong with that. Suave and sexy -- that's the way I like my men. And slightly unpredictable.

Date: 2006-12-17 09:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jandjsalmon.livejournal.com
This was last Thursadys... It's Jim basically talking about him and Pam -- but he's really talking about Michael. He goes on about rebounding... (Jim is currently rebounding)

Date: 2006-12-17 09:26 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rarity.livejournal.com
Okay, so I admit it. he's more appealing in that clip but I still can't get over how he seems more like the awkward and adorable than the suave and sexy. You may still keep him all to yourself. ;)

Date: 2006-12-17 09:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jandjsalmon.livejournal.com
NO-- watch this one -- you'll crack up!



Oh yes -- there will be more... I know I said I'd go to bed... but there will be more... ;) Keep watching my LJ for more... This oneis called JAMism #4. ;)

But thanks for letting me keep him. ;)

Date: 2006-12-18 01:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rarity.livejournal.com
Okay, okay! So JAM is adorable. I never said otherwise, but Jim still is the awkward, adorable best friend type which I have sworn off of. So I still want my suave, sexy, and slightly unpredictable Draco and Lee, but you can keep Jim. :P

*waits for Jess' review on the BSG epi*

Oh, wow! Snape is so hypocritical! Man. Poor Hermione! Wonderful story! I hope this one does turn into a multichaptered story. Excellent! Thank you so much! This is a wonderful birthday gift! You rock! *hugs*

I'm glad you liked it! Your drabble was supposed to have a happy outcome verse the one it does have, but yeah. :P Once I get some random nonsense done I'll be trying to stick down and write the multi-chaptered fic... Maybe. :P

Again, I'm very glad you liked it. *hugs tightly*
