SEVERUS POV
*Knock *Knock...* 
Severus hears some rumbling from behind the door.... Then it swings open...
"Severus...What are you doing here?" Hagrid says with the most confused look on his face..
I need some...Advice..
Hagrid looks, perplexed...
"......Advice?" 
May I come in and speak with you?
Hagrid looks around, making sure this isn't a practical joke..
"Tell me something only Snape would know about me?" He says looking Severus in the eyes...
Several years ago, I helped you hide-
"Alright Severus come in.." He says patting, and pushing Severus in with a slam of the door. 
Severus takes a sit and Hagrid plops down in his..
"So..what is it that you need Advice about.."
I want to ask Ms.(Y/L/N) to the Yule Ball....
"oh..." Hagrid says with a slack jaw...
I have not asked anyone to Yule ball since I was a student at Hogwarts.. 
"Well, flowers are a good way to start... Her favorite are sunflowers and roses.. When she was a student, she used to go out and pick them..." 
Severus feels his heart beat a little faster...
and....
"You hand her the flowers and ask her to go with you.."
Should I bring her anything for the Ball?
"If you want to, its not required.."
....what was she like as a student? Severus says while fiddling with his hands.. 
"Oh goodness, she was the best Professor.. She did the best in all of her classes.. She was always very happy, even when her family was murdered.. But that last school year was hard on her.. no one is sure what happened.. But during the last few months of the school year, she was like a dark cloud instead of a ray of light.." 
Severus stands up.. and walks over to Hagrid with a hand out... 
Thank you for the advice...
"Hey Severus, make sure to dance with her, and get your picture taken.."
Severus looks over to his mantle, there are pictures of him and Madam Olympe Maxime from every Yule Ball they have been to.. 
Severus walks out, and goes to the gardens... The keeper looks shocked and scared.. 
"Uhh.. Professor..What bring you here?" 
I need a bouquet...
................................................................
He walks up to her office door, she should be on a break right now....and he knocks on the door.. holding the bouquet of flowers....
She opens the door...
"Uhh..Severus? what is this about?" 
May.. I come in?  He says looking around the room...
"oh yes.. do come in.." 
He stands in front of her and he looks scared to death.. 
" Severus... "
I wanted to ask if you would be my date to the Yule Ball...
He says, holding out the flowers in his hand.. 
"Yes Severus.. I would love to go with you.."
She says Jumping into his arms and hugging him...

Most of your day was spent, staring at the flowers he got you...
He got you flowers...why didn't he just wait till tonight when yall where in the same room.. This is going to get awkward.. 
What happens when you admit that you have feelings for him...
Will him staying in the same room during the night change..

You will have to go dress shopping.... 
...............................
That night after feast, you and him go back to his room.... 
Once you get into the room, you head to the shower... once you get done taking a shower, you slip back into your gown and pick up the shirt of his you wore last night. 
You walk out and he is sitting there with his clothes, ready to take his shower.. You crawl up into his warm bed.. and he looks at you and winks.. 
Your heart flutters.. as you open the book you brought into bed with you.. 
......
You hear him in the bathroom, he is humming the song he heard you play the other morning... 
It makes your heart happy to know he is listening to you.. 
a few minutes later he walks out in a cotton looking black sleeper set.. 
He looks so handsome... all the time he looks handsome.. 
He stops when he sees you reading a book.. 
"What do you like reading?" He says pulling a book of his off the coffee table.. 
I read mostly romance.. I'm currently reading a friends to lovers book..
He hummss under his breath and says.." I read anything that strikes my fancy... currently reading a book on some muggle history..." 
You smile, and start reading..
