Life Lessons: Lust Spell Gone Wrong

Never turn your back on a girl you've just turned down. She may not take no for an answer.

Harry made it two steps before he heard her mumble something behind him. He turned, feeling a very odd sensation travel up his spine.

Severus Snape would have liked nothing more than to leave Harry Potter to his fate, but he knew the other student was a Gryffindor and he couldn't help but take points.

"Ms. Vane! 50 points from Gryffindor for attacking another student! Mr. Potter-" Severus cut himself off when he met the boys eyes. A shiver went down his spine. His instincts were screaming at him to run.

A slow predatory smile spread across Harry's face. Severus shivered, despite his best effort not to.

He looked from the girl who had the look that was most typically found on a Gryffindor that had just been caught in the act of doing something very wrong, back to Potter and then back to the girl, horrifying realization settling in.

"Professor," Harry purred as he took another step towards his teacher.

Severus backed up a step unable to keep his mouth from opening and closing in silent horror. The girl looked almost as horrified as the older man, but he knew that was impossible.

A strangled sound was released from Severus' throat when his least favorite student reached him, a hand coming up to stroke his chest.

"I know we've never really gotten along, Professor," again, Potter positively purred the title. "But I think you'll find, we're a lot more alike than you ever thought."

The younger man took a step closer, bringing himself flush with his teacher, and swiftly kissed him on the mouth.

A thud could be heard as Romilda Vane fainted dead away.

Severus finally got his mind working again when he felt his student's tongue pressed against his lips. He reared back and pulled out his wand at the same time.

"Stupefy."

The Boy-Who-Lived collapsed in a heap.

Severus shuddered violently, contemplating murder before shaking his head and straightening up.

"Two hundred points from Gryffindor."

Harry woke up groggy and confused in what he immediately knew to be the hospital wing. He blinked dumbly at the ceiling for a moment before his face went blank in shock.

Severus watched from several feet away as Harry Potter's eyes seemed to get wider and wider before finally they screwed shut. The boy rolled on his side and into a ball, clutching at the pillow.

Severus nodded to himself when he heard a moan of absolute horror and embarrassment come from the younger man.

Everything was back to normal.
