"Hi Severus, I was wondering if... Wait, are you wearing glasses?"
Severus raised an eyebrow as he looked up from his grading. He had been insecure with this secret for weeks. It had been hard trying to read when Hermione comes over to his quarters. So he made it a point to schedule his reading at a different time and brew the basic potions the infirmary needs that anyone with short-sightedness could brew when she's there instead.
"Obviously."
Hermione blinked. Those square black-rimmed glasses looks fantastic on him! He looks so dashing! She beamed as Severus looked at her oddly.

"You look great! You should wear them more often! Are they reading glasses or are you really suffering
from myopia from all those brewing and reading those worn out scrolls?" asked Hermione enthusiastically as she observed the glasses like a kid in a candy store.
"No, it's really myopia and don't humor me. I look awful with glasses. That's why I don't wear them," said Severus in an annoyed tone as he removed the glasses.
"I'm not kidding! You look so dashing in those glasses! You even remind me of a handsome actor in one of those business movies!"
{('-')}
Severus wore the glasses again, his grading of the papers forgotten, "Really? I don't see it."
"When did I lie to you in things like these? Wear them frequently please?"
Severus considered this. Hermione loves it and she said I look so dashing. But she compared me with an actor! She must be fooling around.
"Erm, you did not just compare me with a handsome actor didn't you?"
"Yes I did and you look much better than him! That actor was already 50-60 something but he still looks so handsome especially with those glasses."
"Fine I'll wear the bloody glasses."

However Severus thought of another retort, "But do you think I should just really wear these glasses for looks? I'm not good-looking and I don't need them while walking and doing other things."
"Oh but think about it, how could you possibly catch those students out of curfew when you could not see them from a distance? But of course don't wear them while you're sleeping or in the shower. And I love your face. You know that," said Hermione with a smile knowing that she had won.
"Well, you do have a point," he said with a satisfied smirk.

"Good. Oh wait, why did I come here again? Oh yeah, I was going to ask if you could join me in my patrol this evening. I know it isn't your sched but..." Hermione was silenced when Severus moved from his desk and placed a finger on her lips.
"Shh, I will go with you. Let's talk about that article in the Potions Weekly you were talking about the other day okay? Now let me kiss you before I go to my next class," murmured Severus.
Then he leaned in for a long satisfying kiss then headed off to his classroom.

*BANG* Severus strode from the door and headed to the front of his desk.
"Turn to page 235. You will see the theory and instructions for the Draught of the Living Death. Now I want you to look at that for exactly ten minutes then we will brew it. If hopefully... you could follow simple instructions."
Everybody scrambled to get their potion books without looking up to see the potions master. Who would dare?
After ten minutes Ginny Weasley finished and looked up. "Holy crap," she muttered then the others stared in shock as if they never saw him before.

'Time for a little light legillimency.' he thought.
Periwinkle Brown was in shock. 'I can't believe I'm thinking this, but Professor Snape looks hot!,'
Anthony Zabini observed. 'He looks more authorative though a little muggle.'
Ginny Weasley smirked. 'That's much better than Harry's round unstylish glasses.'
Astoria Greengrass nodded. 'The Head of Slytherin's now officially the coolest of the professors!'
So far he liked all the comments.
'Uhh... Duh... He looks like a nerd and a boring old librarian with no social life.'
He frowned at that last thought but disregarded it. It was the opinion of Goyle's younger brother.

News about the Great Bat of the Dungeons wearing glasses spread throughout the school like wild fire. Turns out he wasn't really much of a bat after all. The staff had no idea about it though.
Minerva passed by a couple of Ravenclaw girls and heard a part of their conversation.
"Have you seen his new look?"
"Those glasses look so rad on him!"
"Agreed, everyone's crushing on him with his cool dark style and amazing voice!"
The two giggled.
Minerva shook her head. If only the students could talk about things academic or at least fodder for staff gossip.
{('-')}
Turns out all of the staff dismissed the loud chatters of the students about the man with a new cool look. They still had no clue until the middle of dinner.
"Sigh. Minerva there's nothing new now You-Know-Who's dead huh?" asked Pomona wearily.
Minerva agreed. "I know Pomona, it's just the same news over and over again. Nothing changes much anymore."
Their conversation was interrupted by Severus. "Minerva, what punishment do you think is appropriate for mooning over a teacher?"
"What are..." She stopped in shock as she looked at him.
Pomona's eyes widened, "There's the change you're looking for."
A.N. This is the best I could come up with and a Snape with eyeglasses had been playing around my mind for weeks now. Eyeglasses do change one's appearance. Ever found it strange seeing a friend who always wears eyeglasses but one day is without them? Haha, could anyone guess why Severus can't possibly be a bat like all says if he wears glasses and of what movie Hermione was referring to? And I just made up Periwinkle Brown, Anthony Zabini and Goyle's younger brother. :D
