Authors Notes: This is a bit of drabble that I thought would be fun to write and this is my first Snape/ Hermione, so please don't be mean!
"Now Miss Granger, "Occlumency" is the art of-"
"-I know what it is! I just don't know why I need to learn it!"
Snape gave her a violent look and continued to pace around his office in the dark dungeon "You are here for matters that are unknown to me. All I know is that I have to teach it to you before Potter faces The Dark Lord," he stared down into Hermione's Chocolate eyes. "Now take out your wand and be prepared for what is about to hit you."
Hermione coolly got out of her chair and slowly took out her wand; meanwhile she narrowed her eyes and looked deep into Snape's black ones.
Without warning his wand rose above his head as he bellowed at Hermione "LEGILIMENS!" Suddenly Hermione felt something burrow deep in her brain… Snape's eyes. She started to phase out as she felt him penetrate every memory: Her first day at Hogwarts, her family, the encounter with Lupin as a werewolf, everything. After what seemed like hours Hermione came back to earth, she realized that she was on the ground, covered in sweat with Snape standing over her.
"Concentrate!" he spat as she scrambled onto his desk, panting. Once again he shouted the spell and once again Hermione lost control, but this time she held up a fight, she could feel Snape struggling to get through. This one didn't last as long and when she woke up she wasn't on the floor, but slumped against something strong, something warm… Snape's body. She was being held up by his arms and once he realized that she could hold her own weight her let her go. "Well done Granger, that time was sufficiently more difficult," he said as he looked at her panting in his chair "You are dismissed, good- night," with that she gave a silent nod and dragged herself out of the dungeon and made her way back to the Gryffindor common room.
