The Situation

"Jaden, your eyes, they're so dark and beautiful, and your skin, its like fine porcelain, and your lips . . . they're so, so compelling . . . I just have to kiss them," James Potter breathed, backing Jaden against the wall by approaching her.

The raven-haired Slytherin eyed James, reflecting his desire and she pursed her lips in anticipation of her first grown-up kiss. James' heart thudded in his chest as the witch who gave him so much hell for so long, finally gave in. He leaned toward her mouth, his green eyes closing as he moved toward those soft, willing lips . . .

BRZZZZZZZATTT!

A shocked James Potter was blasted back from the witch by some unknown power that fairly crackled around her, issuing from her body. Jaden looked at herself, at a complete loss as what looked like little lightning bolts whirled around her. James got off the floor and wiped his mouth. His already messy black hair was even in worse than normal shape, standing all over his head from the shock he received.

"What the hell is that?" he asked Jaden, who looked just as bewildered as he did.

"That, my dear Mr. Potter, is a little something called a 'Touch-Her-Not' charm. I cast it some time ago. It only goes into effect if she is approached by someone who has . . . carnal intent," a familiar voice purred from the deeper shadows of the corridor.

"Daddy! How could you?" Jaden Snape hissed at her father as he emerged, his robes billowing slightly.

"Quite easily, I'm afraid, Jaden," Severus Snape responded coolly. "Now, return to Slytherin house while I deal with Mr. Potter."

"But . . . but daddy, he wasn't . . . he wasn't doing anything," she said.

"Of that I am certain, thanks to the charm. Now go, Jaden, before you lose house points and your housemates take you to task."

Jaden dropped her head and walked past her father sullenly. How could he do this to her?

Wait until she told mum.

Snape watched until she turned the corner, then looked back at James Potter the second, his black eyes narrowed.

"You should know better than to dally with the Headmaster's daughter, Mr. Potter," he purred unpleasantly, "but then again, you are your father's son. Brains aren't in great supply, are they?"


A/N: Snape as the watchful father. lol. Got to love him. :)))
