Ron and Hermione sat in the middle of the common room studying for their upcoming potions quiz, when she looked at the time.
"Shit!" Hermione exclaimed when she realized she was already ten minutes late to potions.
"It's not that big a deal you're his top student I'm sure he'll let you slide 'Mione." Ron replied trying to get her to stop fussing.
"I've got to go! We can study after lunch!" She promised running to potions. Hermione had never been late to a class before, much less to potions. She huffed as she came to the dreaded classroom. She hated him. He always studied her more closely; if she messed up he would instantly notice and ridicule her. Just as she reached for the knob the door flew open.
"And just why were you late miss Granger? This had better be worth my time." Snape said, coldly staring her down.
"I-I just got caught up in my studies." She replied. She hated how he made her stutter.
"Of course, Miss Granger always nose in a book." He said rolling his eyes, "Ten points from Gryffindor!"
"That isn't fair!" She exclaimed angrily.
"You'll also need to come after super for detention and to make up your test." He hissed. She just nodded and stomped into the class waiting for the bell to ring. She checked the clock which was above his head begging the bell to ring. When it did she noticed Snape was starring at her. She starred back hatefully, but noticed…his eyes weren't full of hate. His beautifully dark eyes looked full of sorrow and desire. She shook the thought off as best as she could and continued her day. When suppertime came she sat at the end closest to the teachers. When Snape entered he took the seat closest to her at the teachers table. They starred at each other the entire time. Hermione felt strange…did she have feelings for that monster!? No…someone as smart as her could never have feelings for him…and he knew that.
Snape POV
I watch her. I watch her every day. God she's perfect. What am I saying she's a fucking student Severus! Today I went into her mind. While she sat there in class starring at me, she knows. She knows I watch her. She looked into my eyes and saw it all. She just doesn't know it's all because of her. I want her. As I sat down I noticed she was on the opposite end of her usual table. Perfect! I can't ever take my eyes off of her anyway, she might as well be closer…but why the sudden change? Can she feel the attraction? No. I have to go figure out her test. I stood and walked to my classroom, brushing past her as I left. I hope she noticed. I think I know what her test will be over.
Hermione POV
He left! He strode in, sat down, and left without eating! *sigh* at least we shared a few looks…no. He's your teacher! Stop thinking like that! Oh well, I mean I need some sort of fantasy right? I wonder why he left. I always catch him staring…so why would he leave now? Maybe he doesn't want me to know? I don't know but whatever the reason I was tired of playing games. I rose and followed the same path he had taken. It was time to take my test… and to resolve this problem. I opened the door to his class and walked in. He fumbled quickly with some papers and handed them to me.
"I apologize; I had no spare copies so I had to scratch this one up quickly." He said in his dark silky voice.
"Oh. It's okay. I'm sure your handwriting is neat." I said before taking the test, "Does it matter where I sit?"
He turned slightly pink which was obvious because of his pale features. "Uh…just pull a chair up to the front of my desk." His eye flickered darkly, "I mean I wouldn't want you cheating." I went over and pulled a chair forward. God he was gorgeous up close. How in the world am I supposed to focus with him this close? Our legs just a few inches apart…no focus on the test! I started reading, simple enough directions like always. Mostly potion recipes and a bonus question on the back. I vigorously started writing.
Snape POV
I watched her eyes scan the test and that smart witch smile crawl across her face. I knew this was too easy for her, but luckily I'm the only potions teacher. I saw her finishing up the main of the test and look up at me from under her curly ginger hair. I flashed my evil smirk. She turned as red as her hair just like always and continued with the bonus questions. I wanted to know her answer. This should be interesting.
Hermione POV
That smile! Ugh! Why can't I just hate him!? God that smile though…does he know what it does to me? He can't, that's impossible. My hormones did though! Shit! Just the smile, my smile could easily turn me on. I knew it too well; he gave it to me when I first walked in. That was my smile and mine only. Focus! You're taking a test for god's sake! I glanced once more to see his smile and began reading the bonus question. …This is the only handwritten part of the quiz. I read the question over and over again…was he serious? I could feel him watching for my reaction. My wetness began pooling between my legs. The question read: "Is there any problems in this class or something I should change for a better class?" Shit! I scribbled down my first thought: "Maybe if you could work more one on one with your students they could…focus more." Seems obvious enough, I slid the paper over to him staring him in the eye the whole time.
