No matter how nasty or snide he was, she just smiled and made some polite remark, as if she had feathers between her ears, instead of acting like the fiery, semi-intelligent witch that he grudgingly admitted she was. It was incredibly boring, especially in the tedious setting of his forced attendance at yet another ministry sponsored event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had enough, and proceeded to tell her so. &#8220;Miss Granger, your insipidness is annoying.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I know,&#8221; she smiled indulgently. Not at all the response he was expected from the rather irritating young witch. &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you figured it out, yet?&#8221; She cocked her head to the side, inquiringly, and he wondered what she was on about. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I do it. Why waste my energy trying to hold an actual conversation, when you are just going to belittle and mock me, when I can skip right over that and irritate you just by being polite. There are few amusements in my life these days. Like you, I take my small pleasures where I can find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve spent years telling me exactly how ugly, stupid, annoying, and socially backwards that I am. Why should I voluntarily subject myself to more of the same? Annoying you is just a bonus.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How terribly sad your life is.&#8221; Severus&#8217; face reflected his disgust, and he barely refrained from rather obviously rolling his eyes. &#8220;What? Am I supposed to pity you?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of course not,&#8221; Hermione chuckled wryly. &#8220;That would be awfully ironic after all. Don&#8217;t you think?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Severus stood agape for a few moments, fury building in him, and then stalked away. How dare that impertinent know-it-all&#8230; There would be other functions that they were forced to attend, and he would get the best of her yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fandom: Harry Potter Pairing: Hermione Granger \/ Severus Snape Rating: G Notes: Another piece that probably belongs in the middle somewhere, as the ending is not very constructive, and the beginning comes in after a lot of omitted backstory, but I have no idea where, but I liked the conversation, none the less. &nbsp;_______________________________________________________________________ Once&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[36,41,124],"class_list":["post-359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-harry-potter","tag-mf","tag-g","tag-pairing-hermione-granger-severus-snape"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
