"Your father told me that you asked a few days ago for me to be replaced. Am I that unsatisfactory?" Severus asked the 16 year old girl as she set up her supplies that she would need for her potions lesson.

Regulus laughed in a corner of the room. He quickly regained his composure when he saw the look the older man shot at him. "I'm sorry it's just... what are you, 19 going on 90? You talk like such an old man." Adora threw a book at him which he just barely caught.

"Leave him alone Reg, and no I find you quite satisfactory." The look she gave her tutor hinted at something other then his teaching method. "You're a great potions teacher too I might add."

Regulus started to pick up on the meaning of what Adora was saying. "Regulus leave, you are distracting my pupil." Severus closed the door behind Regulus as he was sent from the room. "I was told to help you create a few potions that might help with Sirius Black. Lucius suggested Amortentia. It's an advanced potion but I have no doubt that you can pull it off." He sat himself down across from her and began to read a book that was nearby. From time to time he would look up and watch as she readied her ingredients and consulted her potions book.

Forgetting about her was difficult since they had to work so closely together. But he still tried. When the thoughts of her body and the fluid motions it made when moved became too much he stood and strode over to her. The potion had taken on its characteristic mother-of-pearl sheen which meant she had managed to pull it off.

"I don't get it."

"What don't you get?"

"It looks like it's supposed to but I don't smell anything. All I smell are the potions in the room. Do you smell something?"

Severus didn't need to smell it to know that what he would pick up from the fumes would be earthy and floral; things that reminded him of Lily. But never-the-less he leaned in to humor the girl. The steam spiraled around him in the air. The earthy floral scent reached him like he knew it would. But it was followed by something new. Something that seemed almost sweet and exotic; a scent that reminded him of a few weeks back when he had a certain some one's hair brush across his face.

"Master wishes to see young miss." A tiny little house elf said opening the door a bit.

"Try not to miss me while I'm gone." Adora wasn't sure he was paying much attention to a word she said because he looked so deep in thought. She shrugged and walked out.

"No doubt you were in your potions lesson just now." Lucius remarked as she walked into the room. "I can smell it on you."

Adora sniffed at her clothes and laughed. "That's why! Lucius you are a genius." She hugged him quickly before her father entered the study. After a rather boring update on her mission she raced back to the room where she and Severus were having the day's lessons. "Severus! I know why I couldn't smell anything!" She ran over to him and threw her arms around him. She was so happy that she didn't do the potion wrong that she wasn't really paying much attention to what she was doing. "I only smelled potions because it was you!" She pulled back from him a bit arms still linked around his neck. She looked up at him and frowned. "What's wrong?"

Severus was struggling with himself. He had told her that he wasn't attracted to her like that and yet the potion had proved him wrong. And yet here they were, her body pressed against him one more. The temptation was... tempting to say the least. "To hell with it," he mumbled into her hair. His arm found its way around her trim waist and pulled her into a rough kiss. With the other he pulled out his wand and shut and locked the door with a flick. Then with a few quick precise swishes he put up a few magical barriers to ensure their privacy. With that all said and done he picked her up and sat her down on top of the desk.

"Way to go Sev, spilled the potion I was supposed to use tonight. I don't have time to brew another one." The day's potion 'lesson' had ran an hour longer than usual and the two were cleaning up the mess that resulted from it.

"Charm him like you do me." Severus was holding her from behind and murmuring in her ear. She reached a hand up behind her and took a hold of his face. She turned to the side enough to kiss him.

"Using the potion sounded too easy anyways. You're right." She kissed him again and then smiled, "it seems you're over your aversion to being with me."

"Why delay the inevitable. You always say it so clearly. What ever our little princess wants she gets."
