Hermione sat in the dark dank dungeons quivering inside but keeping her external appearance cool and collected. She would not cower in front of Hogwarts most hated and yet most attractive professor. She was a Gryffindor and she was going to prove it!

"Well Ms. Granger…do you have anything to say for your flagrant disrespect of the rules?" Professor Snape said in his quiet yet harsh tone. He only used that tone when he was extremely angry with a student. Hermione had never been on the receiving end of that type of anger and had no idea what to expect

"No sir. May I please serve my detention now?" She replied in a seemingly unaffected tone.

"I'm sorry Ms. Granger but your detention tonight is to explain to me why exactly you saw the need to kiss me during class today."

At that Hermione seemed to crumple and she resigned herself to explaining her actions to the bat of the dungeons.

"Well you see sir…umm…I – I seem to have developed asortofcrushonyou." She spat the words out as if they could poison her is they stayed in her mouth a moment longer.

"Excuse me!?" Snape spluttered. He had NOT expected that. He had expected some half-assed attempt at lying on her part. Perhaps making up and excuse about one of her friends putting a spell on her. With the ultimate goal to, of course, be to embarrass him in front of the class. He had no expected he to declare that she fancied him.

"Is that some sort of sick joke on your part Ms. Granger?"

"Unfortunately no sir…but surely I'm not the first girl to have a…crush…on you…after all even amongst the Gryffindor girls you've been considered hot since 3rd year." She slapped her hand across her mouth as she realized what she said. Again she just let her mouth run wild without stopping to think about what she said.

That shocked him even further if possible. He was considered…hot. He shuddered as he thought that vulgar word.

"I see…Ms. Granger I think…given the revelation of this evening…that it would be better if you served you remaining detentions with Filch.

"NO!" she all but shouted.

"I mean…if it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd rather serve them with you." She stuttered out.

"Oh really?" Snape said as one of his eyebrows curved up in his signature expression.

"Yes…I mean…I think I would better learn my lesson if I served them with you. You're detentions are much harder more adequate in teaching a lesson than Filch's." She explained in what she hoped was a convincing tone. Really she just wanted to spend more time around him.

"I'm sorry Ms. Granger that is not possible you will just have to suffer with inadequate detentions as you put it. Dismissed."

"But sir…please…" She begged.

"Did you not hear me Granger? Get out!" This girl was getting more and more irritating.

"Please just give me a chance!"

"GET OUT!" He shouted. She was wearing out his already frayed nerves.

"But…" She trailed off.

"OUT!" He bellowed.

At that moment Hermione couldn't control herself anymore and flung herself at him. She desperately pulled his head down and before he could even react was ferociously kissing him. He instantly froze.

"Good god where had she learned to kiss like that?" He wondered.

He had even started to kiss her back until he realized what was happening. He ripped away from her lips and shoved her away.

"Ms. Granger…if you have not left this classroom in 3 seconds I will personally see that not only are you expelled from this school but are unable to get a job anywhere in the wizarding world! Do I make myself clear?" He thundered. His words lost some of their force seeing as he had a bit of lip-gloss on his mouth, but still at that Hermione sprinted from the room. And he hoped she would never return.

But as he watched his door slam shut after she left he was left with an odd feeling off emptiness. Surely he couldn't be missing Ms. Granger already…could he?
