A/N: This is my first fan fiction. Please read and review. I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Sasha and the plot of this story. The world of Harry Potter is a creation of the amazing J.K. Rowling.

Chapter 1

Sasha Moore walked down the corridor, pondering the transfiguration that Professor McGonagall had just set her. She had to write 2 pages or parchment on the basic principles of transfiguration. She was sure it would be an easy enough assignment and thought about what she could do with her friends after she was done.

She was on her way to the dungeons, a place that had struck feelings both of intimidation and desire into her. It had been two years since she first recalled having feelings for Professor Severus Snape. Seeing as he was her house leader, they had been in close contact for the past six years. Now that she was in her seventh and final year at Hogwarts, she felt that she could finally make her move. She had seen the way that the mysterious professor looked at her, even as he tried to hide it. She now wanted nothing more than to see their lust for each other realized.

As Sasha finally reached the dungeon doors, she walked into the dimly lit room and took her seat near the front of the class. Moments later, Professor Snape rushed into the room, his robes billowing behind him in their usual fashion. Sasha found every element of his powerful strut very sexy. Her thoughts were interrupted by Snape's low rumble of voice, dictating to the class to open their potions books to a potion they had been working on for days, some sort of healing potion. She listened to Snape explain the plans for the day, watching every move he made and drifting in and out of reality.

When he was done, she got up from her seat and walked across the classroom to find her cauldron. As she worked on her potion, she constantly found ways to make a seductive eye contact with the professor. When she got up to get some ingredients, she intentionally brushed pass Snape in a subtle way in order to get his attention, which she had noticed never failed to turn his head. Toward the end of class, she had perfectly completed her potion, to no one's surprise, and had once again impressed Professor Snape.

When the class was dismissed, Snape called Sasha to his desk to discuss something with her. She walked slowly, but confidently up to the desk and leaned toward him.

"Miss Moore, your potions are … shall we say … most impressive," Snape said, eying her. "You are exactly what I am looking for to be my potions apprentice."

Sasha shifted, still leaning over Snape's desk. "A potions apprenticeship?" she asked. "Well, I guess I could do that."

"Now, it will be very challenging. Are you sure you'll be able to do this?

"Of course," she replied, with virtually no hesitation.

"Your arrogance will be your downfall," Snape said, smirking at Sasha in an attempt to intimidate her. It worked, as always, but she held to her decision. Snape never failed to make Sasha feel fear, but somehow an undying lust for him. "Stay here after class tomorrow and we will begin"

"I look forward to it," Sasha said to him. She turned around and walked out of the dungeons, thinking about what had just happened.

She made her way back to the Slytherin common room. She knew that her innate talent for potions would get her somewhere; she just thought that it would have to do with her career. Then she thought about the fact that she had never heard of this "potions apprenticeship. Did he just make that up? Why would he do that? But she had a strong feeling about why.

Sasha walked in to the Common Room where she saw a group of Slytherins studying at a table and some of her friends sitting on a sofa near the fire. She stopped to tell them of the new potions apprenticeship for which Snape had recruited her. They laughed, knowing how Sasha felt about their house leader. She hadn't done a very good job of hiding her feelings around her friends. She went up to her dormitories to work on her assignments, thinking, Well, whatever happens, happens.

A/N: Once again, please read and review. I should have the next chapter up in a bit
