Desire
Drabble Prompt Challenge: Drabble must be under 1000 words which contain the words Severus Snape, Knockturn Alley, and Fire. This is my little response.
I do not own the rights to JKR's collective works of Harry Potter. Merely using her characters to twist and play with.
She wasn't sure how it started or who had incited the first encounter. All that she remembered was the colliding of their bodies, and the angry kisses Severus Snape pressed upon her face.
She understood that he was angry, and that he had been trying to deny his desires toward her, but she tempted him; he had warned her.
In the beginning she had been fascinated by his mind - the great skills that he possessed with magic. To her, he had no equal, and she let that be known to him. Unbeknownst to her it sparked the beginnings of his interest toward her. As her fascination grew from his teachings, his desires grew to possessing her.
This desire grew beyond his control, and it came to a point that he began to distance himself from her. She was troubled by it in the beginning, and she could not understand why he was avoiding her. She could only think that he had found her lacking in potential, or that she wasn't unable to learn from his teachings. It made her try harder to gain his favor back.
She cornered him at every opportunity so that she could beg him to not give up on her. However, her determination to learn was interrupted differently by him; he took this determination as her signal that she wanted him. After all, as he told her, he had given her every signal that he wanted her beyond the role of teacher.
She had been confounded by this confession and had been unable to answer him. As she looked into his eyes after said confession, she saw the burning fire of desire in his blacken eyes. He then informed her that he could no longer teach her, she was forbidden to him, and his desire was too demanding to let himself be tempted by her nearness.
It seemed so befitting then that her first encounter with him was in the middle of the night at Knockturn Alley - months later. She had been so determined to keep her desire for his mind that she was willing to give her body to retain it.
The tempestuous kisses he gave her that night made her realize the passion that he felt towards her. The deficient kisses she gave back to him made him realize that his desire was not reciprocated, but he was able to let her go, his desire had been too demanding.
