Minerva looked at the clock as she sat in her office waiting for Severus to arrive. She had barely glanced away when green flames erupted from her fireplace and a man in a black cloak stepped out. "Good afternoon Severus." Severus merely nodded and started to pace."Do you remember why I'm here." Minerva rolled her eyes."No I don't Severus in my old age I've forgotten what happened YESTERDAY." Severus glared at her while she glared back.

"Do you have any clue as to where she is?" Severus asked trying not to go hysterical. Minerva solemnly shook her head. " Your guess is as good as mine. I was as surprised as you were to find out about her disappearance." Not likely. Thought Severus. Suddenly green flames erupted from the fireplace and out stepped Ron, Harry, and Ginny. They all stared at each other. "You invited them?!" Severus was fuming he didn't want them meddling and ruining his search. He thought he had escaped them when they graduated...apparently not!

"Of course I did. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because they're irritating and meddlesome!"

Severus had forgotten they were there until he heard one of the clear their throats. He and Minerva looked at them.

"We can here you ya know. Also, Mione is our friend we will do anything to find her." Ginny said confidently. Ron and Harry nodded in agreement. "Good. Now if you would all please take a seat." Minerva said gesturing to four chairs. They all sat down anxious to start.

Minerva looked at the trio. "Did you three happen to notice anything strange about Ms.Granger before her disappearance?" Meanwhile, Severus was in internal turmoil. How can she be so calm?! Hermione is missing and she's acting like it's nothing different! He came out of his thoughts just in time to hear Ginny mention something that made his heart stop. "Mione said she was going to see a friend. Wouldn't tell us who though." Severus became nervous. Was she going to see him? What would she have done or said when she came? His nervousness was now replaced with anger. I'll destroy whoever took her if it's the last thing I do.

"Severus are you alright?" Mcgonnagall's concerned voice broke through his thoughts. "I'm fine Minerva."
Harry looked at Severus." Are you su-" Severus cut him off angrily." I don't remember asking for your opinion Potter." Ginny's face turned red. "You don't have to be so rude! He's just worried about you! Why are you even here?!" He couldn't take it anymore and finally exploded." BECAUSE I LOVE HER!" Severus was now standing up with his hands balled up in fists. He stomped off to the fireplace and flooed to his house.

He sat in his chair with his face in his hands and broke down. The houses walls rang with his sobs but otherwise that was the only sound in the house. Severus finally stopped and walked to his bathroom hoping to wash away the day's events. He stood in his shower with his face looking at the floor while the cool water soaked his hair and glided down his skin. Why did he let himself loose control like that? Now they knew! But....was that really a bad thing? He did love Hermione..and she loved him.
