Severus looked away from Sylvia. " Well it seems that all the work I had for you is done. Go ahead and leave." He didn't want to have to think about the girl anymore. Running a hand through his greasey black hair, Severus turned his back on the girl and leaned his arm on the wall, blocking the light from his eyes.

Sylvia glanced at the Professor. "Okay sir. Have a good night." Sylvia said. She walked out of the room hoping not to ever have such an awkward detention. Sylvia yawned and put her hair up into a ponytail. Her hair was straight as usual. She walked to the Slytherin common room.

Severus felt more worn out then he had ever before. "Night." He said and heard Sylvia walk away. What an annoyance, he thought bitterly and went to sit down at his desk, unsure as to why he was so botherd by the girl. Detentions seemed like the wrong way to go but he knew eventually he would give her another one.

Sylvia smiled and tied her shoelace before heading up to bed. Problem was she couldn't sleep. Something was bugging her about the professor. "Why does he prefer to be so alone?" she asked out loud. She made sure no one was in here and started reading her book. Her potions book...since no doubt she would have another detention.

Severus never went to sleep that night. Instead, to stop himself from thinking of Slyvia, he organized and reorganized his potions and ingredients. When classes started he felt exhausted but he couldn't go st sleep no matter how tired he was. He had to teach. Even the students he wished he had never met.

Sylvia had potions first period. She only fell asleep for an hour last night. Draco and Pansy looked at her. "Are you okay?" they asked in union. "I'm fine...lets just..eat and get to class." She said. She yawned and grabbed her stuff. She didn't even finish her toast. "Great...potions with Gryffindors." Sylvia said to herself. She really hoped she didn't get detention again.

Severus watched as the students filed in and found their seats. His mind was on one thing alone and that was sleeping and so the lesson was planned accourdingly. "Today," He started, staring down at the students darkly, " We will be learning to make the Sleeping Draught. By the name you can tell it causes the person to fall asleep. Get started and at the end I'll tell you whether or not it would work. any mess ups and you get a detention."

Sylvia felt that would be the best thing for her. She leaned over and got out her book looking for the ingredients. When she found out what she needed she went and got it. She started adding the ingredients in like the book said except for one. She added the Billywig wings before the Pea Juice. "Oh no...not another detention." Sylvia said to herself. She was really hoping he didn't notice.

Severus made his way around the class room. Since it was a rather easy potion only a few students messed up and he had to assign some detentions for Filch. When he came to Sylvia's cauldron he found that her's was also wrong and frowned deeply. "I guess that means more detention tonight." He stated and walked to his desk to write up her detention. Unlike the others he made her's for tonight with him. He wasn't sure what had possessed him to do that but he didn't change it.

Sylvia sighed. "Alright sir." Sylvia said with a sigh. She wondered why she must always get a detention in some class. Lately it had been potions. She noticed others had detention with Filch. "I get Snape ...Lucky me." Sylvia said with sarcasm. The bell rung and she met up with Draco and Pansy. "Another Detention." Sylvia said. "Again?" they both asked. "Yeah." She said. the rest of the day went perfectly. She walked down to detention. She knocked on the door. "Professor I'm here." She said.

Severus opened the door and looked down at Slyvia distainfully. "I really hope you're not planning on making this a new habit of yours." He turned around and entered his office, his back always on the girl. "Since I'm missing some potions I've decided to make you replace them. You'll have to make a polyjuice potion, a Sleeping Draught since you failed once today, and some Love Potions. I'm missing quite a few of those. Don't fail me again."

"No i won't make this a habit Sir. I will get right on it and not fail you again." Sylvia said. She bent over her cauldron. She brewed everything perfectly...and careful. "Now time for the Sleeping Draught." Sylvia said She remembered add the Pea Juice before the Billywig wings. "I'm done professor." Sylvia said.

Severus bent over the steaming cauldrons, looking into them carefully. "Now why couldn't you make this during class?" Referring to the Sleeping Draught right infront of him. "You added too much Billywig wings. You also stirred the love potion too many times." He told her in a cold, measured tone.

Sylvia felt her face go red. "I'm sorry Sir..." She did better than she did in class...but not good enough to impress the professor. Sylvia did her best not to shrug. "Do you want me to redo it professor?" Sylvia ased him in a nice sweet tone.

Severus shook his head. "Pointless. You would most likely do some things wrong again anyway." He stated curtly. "What does the love potion smell like to you?" He knew if she had done it right she would smell whatever she was attracted to. If it was wrong then she wouldn't smell anything.

Sylvia inhaled through her nose. "It smells like blueberry pies...a rose...and chocolate." Sylvia said smiling. Apparently she did it right. Sylvia smiled. "What does it smell like to you professor?" She asked with a smile on her face.

Severus raised an eyebrow at Slyvia and crossed his arms over his chest. "Does it matter?" He had smelt his fair share of love potions but he always kept the fragrances to himself.

"well it does if you want to see if it actually works?" Sylvia said...She was curious as to what it smelled like to him

Severus leaned down and smelled the potion. It smelled like lillies, grass, and cauldron polish. "You're potions made correctly. But what I smell is unimportant." He stated plainly, glaring into Slyvia's eyes.

Sylvia gave up and just smiled and stared into the professor's eyes. "If you say so Professor." She replied. "Is there anything else?" She asked him
