He was pacing back and forth muttering to himself incoherently. He was in his dimly lit dungeon office and as he paced his shadow followed him across the wall. He was worried and nervous. He had no idea what he was going to do. Being in love with a student, this was wrong. But was there anything he could do about it? A person can't control who they fall in love with.
This wasn't what was really bothering him though. The question that kept popping up in his head no matter how hard he tried to ignore it was "does she feel the same way about me?". He was so curious about her. It was eating him up inside, he wanted to know everything about her. Couldn't their private lesson together come any sooner! He felt as though he couldn't wait until tomorrow. He decided he would just go to bed, that would make tomorrow come faster he thought.
He woke up with a start and rolled over onto his side. He checked his watch, it was six o'clock. Breakfast wasn't until eight o'clock. Well there was no way he could fall asleep now, so why not spend extra time getting ready. People always called him greasy haired, so he was gonna change that. He knew Taylor would like non-greasy hair better. He knew this was pathetic but he wanted to look good for her. So he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Where was she? He, was scanning the crowded Great Hall for her. She wasn't at the Slytherin table yet. Keep cool, she is probably running a tad late to breakfast he told himself. But he couldn't keep cool, he wanted to see her so badly. It was really pathetic and he knew it but he once again couldn't help himself.
He then spotted her walking into the Great Hall, laughing with a group of girls. She was even prettier then yesterday he thought, if that was possible. Her smile he thought brightened the whole room. And boy did she look good in her uniform. Her skirt made her tanned legs look even longer. Also he noticed she had a very good sized chest. But those things weren't his favorite part about her. Her eyes made him melt whenever they looked into his. They always had a cheerful sparkle to them.
Right as she walked in her head turned up towards the staff table. And she scanned the table till her eyes made contact with Snape's. His mouth turned up into a smile as they looked into each others eyes. He felt his whole body tingle as they looked at each other, he felt he could stay looking at her forever. But then a third year Hufflepuff walked into her and she had to break her gaze
As he watched her help the lost Hufflepuff boy he thought about what had just happened. She had looked up right as she walked in for him. What did this mean? Did she feel the same way he did? He started to get excited at this thought. But he didn't betray himself by smiling. He had to maintain his unhappy and cruel reputation. But he hadn't felt this happy in a while.
Every couple minutes he saw Taylor steal a glance up at him. She would smile if they made eye contact but he couldn't smile. But Taylor could tell he was smiling on the inside, she could see it in his eyes.
When breakfast was over. He went back to his office to prepare for his first class. He needed to get mouse tails out for each student so he went into his small storage closet to get them. As he was counting the number of jars he heard a small tap on the office door.
"Come in" he said. Who could that be he thought?
"Professor?"came a girls voice from outside.
"In the storage closet" he said. He recognized the voice and put the jars down. He turned and saw Taylor standing in the doorway.
"Sorry to bother you Professor but I wanted to make sure we still had our lesson tonight?" she said taking a step closer to him.
"Why wouldn't we and you would never be a bother to me Taylor." he said taking a step closer to her without realizing it.
"That's sweet of you, you see your not as bad of a guy as you want people to think. It is all part of an act and I can see that you really just are sad. All you need is someone that can make you happy." she said taking another step towards him and putting her hand on his cheek.
His body began to tingle again at her touch. But he could help himself and put his hand on top of hers. "There is only one thing that would make me happy. But I can't have it because it's wrong for me to be with her."
"Her? Would this "her" happen to be a student here and that's why you think you can't be with her?" Snape nodded.
"Would she happen to be standing in this storage closet with you?" she asked with a smile on her face. He nodded yes and turned his head.
"You can be with her. She isn't afraid of you like all the other girls. She loves you."
He turned his head back to look at her. He grabbed her by the waste and kissed her passionately. Their lips then separated and they looked into each others eyes.
"Your beautiful and the most amazing women I've ever met. But I don't know how it's going to work. I can't be dating a student." he told her.
"Severus, listen to me, we love each other so we will make it work. I'm 17 so I'm legal, so we don't have to worry about that. I'll have the private lessons with you so that will give us an excuse to be together. I don't really need them so we can spend the time doing other stuff." she said with a smirk, and pinched his butt.
"You're a bad girl you no that? But I like that" he said kissing her neck. "You have to go now though, I have class soon. But you have to promise to behave in class. It's Professor in class."
Don't worry Professor, I wouldn't want to give you an excuse to spank me." she said with a smirk and she turned and left.
Not even a student blowing up their potion could anger him today. He was so happy on the inside. But he tried to act himself towards his students. But he could really care less about what they did. He was so happy at what had happened with Taylor. She was so amazing and kissing her felt so right. He had never kissed a women before. The one girl he had loved never liked him enough for a relationship. This was a first for him. He was a little nervous, what if she didn't think he was a good kisser. Had she ever been with another guy before. Stop this worrying, take it one step at a time, he told himself.
When the bell rang for Taylor's class to arrive her perked up even more. The students all filed in silently as usual. But he payed them no attention, he was to focused on Taylor to even take ten points from Harry Potter for doing nothing. When Taylor stepped in the doorway he sat up right in his chair. When she walked in she looked right up at him. Their eyes met, and he even betrayed a small smile at her. He watched he stride in and take her seat at the closest table to his desk.
"Quite down now students, today we will be making a sleeping draft. As usual the directions are on the board. If have any questions because your to thick headed to follow the directions, don't ask them. At the end of class I will collect in a vile a sample of what you've made. Also leave you essays out on the table and I will collect them. What are you all waiting for, get started." he said and everyone raced to get their ingredients.
They all left their essays on their table, with a flick of his wand they flew onto his desk in a nice pile. He saw Taylor as usual flick her wand and the ingredients flew to her desk. He thought she was the only student in this whole place with any brains. She saw he was looking at her and pretended to lean forward to get something. As she did this, it gave Snape a clear view down the front of her shirt. He saw her perfect sized boobs in her nice pink bra. When she did this it made his body tingle again. As she sat upright in her chair she winked at him and a note appeared in front of him.
He knew it had to be from her and he smiled. He opened it and read what it said, Like that baby, there is more to see tonight if you're a good boy.
He smothered a chuckle with a cough. He looked over at her and betrayed a smile for the third time today.
