Chapter 8

Location : Dungeons

Snape had only had 1½ hours of sleep no thanks to Albus "Nosey" Dumbledore. Dumbledore had called him to his office after his detention for a cup of tea. Tea! At 4 am in the morning. That man needs to get his priorities right. Of course Snape took his time getting there because he spent two hours in the shower. He was certain Dumbledore purposely kept him up. And today, no only did he had to face a whole day of teaching ignorant dunderhead but Miss Know-It-All herself was going to join him that evening. Boy, his life sure couldn't get any worse.

However, he had a plan today. He smirked to himself as he sipped his usual bitter, black coffee. Miss Granger was going to pay for all the nasty tricks she had pulled on him. He had spent the whole breakfast cooking up a plan that would make her fall so hard that she would never, ever cross him path again.

As soon as he finished breakfast, he made his way back to the dungeons. His first class up was seventh year Advanced Potions of with the Gryffindor and Slytherins. It was a fairly small class, consisting only of 4 Gryffindors and 6 Slytherins.

As he waited for his class to enter, he placed the instructions of a very complicated lust potion on the blackboard. "Get to work," he snapped at them and he went about correcting some essays. He would look up on and off and watch them bustle about, brow furrowed as they worked on the potion.

An hour later, everyone was still working on the potion. Most of them were doing it for the third or fourth time because they kept screwing up. As usual, Hermione Granger was already done. She raised her hand impatiently. "Yes, Miss Granger, What do you want now?" He barked at her. "I'm done Professor," She said smugly. "Well then, why don't we give your potion a try. Tell me what are the purposes of this potion first" He looked meaningfully at her.

Hermione grimace "Well sire, this potion would make me sexually attracted to the first person I see. I refuse to drink this potion unless you have the antidote for it" "Exactly. Of course I have the antidote for it. Its right here," Snape lifted a pink vial.

Hermione cautiously walked up to Snape's desk. "Close your eyes and drink the potion. Do not open your eyes till I tell you to." She nodded, her confidence wavering as she wondered what he was up to. She closed her eyes and drank the potion in one gulp. It tasted aphrodisiac-ish. Sort of like oyster and roses. Snape grabbed her shoulder and turned her in a circle. She wasn't sure who in her class she was facing now. "Open your eyes" He commanded. She gingerly open her eyes and stared in shock into the eyes of Draco Malfoy. She was outraged. How dare Snape do this to her. She felt disgusted as she felt her legs walk uncontrolled towards the very pleased looking ferret. She felt herself throw her arms around his neck and plunked herself onto his lap as she bend down and kissed him passionately. Inside she was trying very hard to throw up. She was going to kill Snape for this. Snape watched gleefully and the biggest prude in school lasvisciously made out with the sleaziest boy in school. The whole class was laughing nervously. Potions forgotten.

After what felt like an eternity, Snape walked over to her and pulled them apart. He poured the antidote into her already open mouth. Hermione felt a cold shiver go through her, then she was cured. She turned around and slapped Snape. However, Snape caught her arm just as she was about to slap him and twisted it behind her. He whispered into her ear. "When you pay with fire, you will get burnt" Then he let her go. She glared at him, rubbing her arm.

"Class dismissed" Snape snarled as everyone rushed to pack up their stuff and ran out. Hermione muttered under her breath as she made her way out "We'll see who gets burnt." She had never been more pissed off in her life. Snape was not going to walk out of this alive.
