snape’s hairy right leg

“You look very handsome. I like the navy color, it suits you.”

His nostrils flared imperceptibly, and his thumb brushed against her hand with a measured, almost reluctant touch. "Thank you," he uttered, his gaze avoiding hers. "You look presentable."

Hermione struggled to suppress a snort during their shared moment. "I would not be surprised if you’d forgotten what I looked like. You’ve hardly spared me a glance since dinner."

He sighed deeply, theatrically pivoting his entire body to face her. With a deliberate stare, he made eye contact before appraising her entire form with his piercing obsidian eyes. His lip curled slightly. "As I said, presentable.”

Hermione Granger has never been what one would call “lucky.” She’s not exactly unlucky, but she’s never survived a Killing Curse or caught a golden snitch in her mouth, so she feels it’s safe to say that Harry’s the lucky one out of their friend group. But when the entire wedding party aside from Hermione and Severus Snape come down with food poisoning at Harry and Draco's wedding, she ends up going on the trip of a lifetime to Maui. If only she didn't have to share it with the one man who cannot seem to stand her presence. And to make matters worse, they have to pretend to be married.
