as always would love to hear what you think!**

Hermione woke, she had slept soundly, she glanced at the clock 7.11am.

She was grateful Snape's arm which had been holding her was now hanging down from the sofa. She pushed herself up and stepped over his leg, she creeped to his bedroom, shoving on her pants and jeans. She tucked his shirt into her jeans whilst stuffing her feet into her shoes.

She creeped through the lounge, slipped out the doors and walked, jogged, and ran to Gryffindor tower. It was early, Gryffindor common room was a desert before 8.30am on a Sunday so she knew now was an ideal time to return.

She stripped off everything but the shirt, threw herself into bed and was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

Severus awoke with a solid hard on, he looked around, she was no where to be seem.

"Argggghhhhh" he groaned in frustration, idiot he thought he should never have pulled her into him. Not that it seemed she minded he mused.

He headed for the shower, he stood just letting the water kiss his body. He placed his hand over her hand mark which remained on the glass. He could feel her presence, her magic. He placed one leg on the ledge of the shower floor and started stroking his hard cock.

"Grrrrrrrrrah" he eventually rasped loud and hoarse reaching his climax, ejaculating onto his torso.

Severus headed down for breakfast, he didn't expect to see Hermione.

Minerva accosted him at the breakfast table filling him in on the French boy, there was no mention of a girl student. She had got away with it by the looks of things.

Severus did notice that the French boy wasn't at breakfast, he could be hungover, or worse he could be with her trying to find out what happened last night. He had confidence she could handle the little scroat. Severus would deal with him on Monday, he would enjoy letting him sweat it out.

The day came went. Hermione work up around 4pm, when she finally pulled herself out of bed all she wanted to do was bathe. After which Hermione felt like she hadn't eaten for a week. Her body and brain were far too tired to try and think about what had happened with her and Snape so she pushed it to the back of her mind.

Luckily for Hermione nobody thought a teenager spending an entire day in bed after a party was an unusual thing. She met Harry and Ron in the common room. "So Mione what happened last night then!? Said Ron giving a comedy wink. Hermione laughed, "ehh nothing! cheeky! he fell asleep in the common roomand I came back here... alone!" she said trying to keep a normal Hermione tone. "Oh" said Harry "Leo got caught out of his dorm after curfew, didn't you know!?". "No" said Hermione. "Yeah he's pretty gutted as you'd imagine, Snape is going to kill him" said Harry.

Hermione mused, yes Snape probably would kill him.

They headed into to the great hall, she didn't dare look in Snape's direction but she could see his presence in the corner of her eye.

"Ehhhmionay" a thick sounding French accent followed her. It was Leo. She walked over to him. She placed a tender hand on his arm. "Leo I'm so sorry, are you ok!?" She said, genuinely concerned.

They were oblivious their conversation was being witnessed by everyone. Leo was more concerned about her, she thought his concern was very sweet. They hugged it out, he gave her a peck on the cheek. They were still friends. Hermione was relieved, Leo was glad.

She ate loads, shared jokes with the boys and then she felt it, tiredness hit her once again. Clearly the evenings events had taken a lot out of her.

Severus glanced at Hermione occasionally but he was paying very little specific attention to her, the only time he was undivided was when she was talking to the French boy. Severus doubted she realised, but she had just tripled the French boy's punishment.

Minerva leaned to him "you don't think it was Miss Granger who was with your boy do you?". "I highly doubt that Minerva, Granger wouldn't have the guts" Severus lied. "Yes you are probably right" Minerva said turning her attention to her supper.

Hermione left the great hall with Leo, she wanted to make sure they were on good terms for sure. They were, he lead her out of the great hall by the hand.

Severus sneered. Make that quadrupled he though to himself as he witnessed the French boy lead her out of the great hall.

Monday came quickly, Hermione was relieved to have classes to focus on. She was in her first class Dark Arts when not five minutes into the lesson the door flew open and Snape billowed in. Everyone stared at him.

He strode to the front. "Mr Leo Olivier, with me now" he drawled. There was a collective gasp from the senior students.

Hermione was sitting on the end of a row of desks directly in Snape's exit path and as he made a typical dramatic exit she gave him a pleading look, hoping he would recognise it as encouragement to be gentle on Leo. Leo followed Snape, his head bowed.

At lunch she spotted Leo, he looked incredibly withdrawn, she was wracked with guilt. She guessed Snape had ignored her plea judging by Leo's demeanour. Not to antagonise the situation she didn't approach Leo in the great hall, she would wait until she saw him next in class.

She had a free period and found herself in the library before heading to double potions, Snape no longer taught and they had various supply teachers since the beginning of term.

She got there early, she wanted to catch Leo. They had partnered in class a lot recently but Hermione wasn't sure what influence Snape's reprimand may have had on him. She needn't have worried, Leo took his usual seat next to her and the boys.

On the blackboard were instructions for the lesson:

"Students please turn to page 1578 of your textbook and follow all instructions to the letter, you will be supervised intermittently. You may begin"

Seniors didn't need babysitting, just as well as Hogwarts had been struggling to find a suitable long term replacement for potions. Probably something to do with ridiculously high standards of the predecessor who was the interviewer she suspected.

Leo and Hermione worked well together, Leo was intelligent but not quick thinking like Hermione. Together they usually produced well balanced potion.

Both Leo and Hermione had been engrossed in their work and each other that they didn't notice any staff check-in on them, but they had been checked 4 times. Once by the headmaster.

Severus was planning ahead for the senior prefect meeting taking place that evening. It was 10 days into October, he knew what would be on their mind, Halloween celebrations.

The seniors were tasked with planning 4 balls, Halloween, Christmas, Summer and end of term.

Usually he didn't mind meeting with the senior prefects, it was only once a week but in the run up to these events it could be 2 or 3 times a week. It was hard work.

Tonight he knew there would be bickering over themes and who was doing what. He wasn't looking forward to it all, he wasn't one for embracing Hogwarts celebrations.

Hermione held back leaving for the meeting as long as she could, this was the first time she would come face to face with Snape. She had deliberately avoided thinking about their encounter, she didn't know what had happened, all she knew was she had ended up falling asleep with him and had enjoyed it. If summer in London had taught her anything it wasn't to over analyse encounters with boys. Except when she thought about it, he wasn't a really boy, he was very much a man. Whatever was happening between them, she refused to fret about it. There was no point.

On arrival at the meeting Hermione slinked around the already occupied chairs, Leo mouthed 'hey' and she smiled to him.

Hermione was looking forward to this meeting it was sure to be about the Halloween ball, which she was very much looking forward to planning. Snape nodded at her to acknowledge her arrival, she took her seat beside him. Draco was full of ideas, Hermione knew the Malfoy's often hosted lavish parties and it was set that this year would be a muggle masquerade phantom of the opera ball.

All of the seniors were very excited. The meeting ended, Leo was with Harry and Ron. "Hurry up Hermione" said Harry "were off to the common room now". "Yes Harry, give me a minute!" She said gathering her papers.

"Miss Granger will see you there Mr Potter, I have some school business to discuss" said Snape with a sneer. Harry shrugged."Meet us there, yes?" Said Leo, she couldn't miss the hope in his voice. "I'll try to, but I might go to bed I'm tired" she said.

Severus saw the disappointment I'm the French boys face, he wondered had she just secured them a time unlimited meeting. Cunning, perhaps this girl should have been slytherin he mused.

From behind his desk Severus watched them exit, Hermione looked very typical Hermione and was furiously scribbling notes. To anyone else this looked perfectly normal.

The door shut. Hermione heard the lock click.

"Drink?" Snape asked casually. "Please" she said. He waved her over to the lounge, unbuttoning his robes as he walked. Black trousers and black shirt this time were revealed underneath.

Clearly behind closed doors their comfortable state with one and other remained.

"How did you punish Leo?" She asked following him.

"Appropriately, and that's all you need to know" he said sharply.

She took the wine, one drink and she knew it was a good one. Clearly headmaster's at Hogwarts got paid enough to drink what she guessed was a £35 bottle of wine on a Thursday evening.

He sat down into the sofa, and crossed his legs picking up a half smoked cigar from the ash tray, he struck a match.

Christ he looked sexy she thought, all black and brooding, with oil black hair. The cigar hanging out of his mouth just added to the picture. She stood in front of him, in awe of this dark, brooding strong man who she was alone with.

He paused momentarily extinguishing the match, he replaced the cigar in the ashtray and put his glass down.

He looked at her expectantly. "Well? You were asking about the French boy, why?." He said with raised eyebrows.

"Because I was!" She said defiantly.

"Careful.. I'll start to think you actually like the boy" He said darkly, with a smug expression. Severus uncrossed his legs, placing his feet flat on the floor, his hips open.

Hermione didn't respond. Severus noted she didn't deny she cared about the French boy, he had already guessed as much from the scene between the two in the great hall.

She put her glass down and stepped forward, she was standing between his legs in line with his knees.

Severus looked up at her and met her warm brown eyes, his eyes trailed down her body. Black t-shirt and tight white jeans hugged her hips. He licked his lips.

She could see his eyes dark and heavy. She saw him lick his lips, Hermione reached down and ran her thumb across his bottom lip. Severus snapped his teeth as if to bite her, she giggled.

He reached up for her hips and pulled her into his lap. Her legs curled under her thighs and she was straddling either side of his legs.

"I told you in the passage way you were in a world of trouble, didn't I?" Severus drawled.

Her eyes grew wide.

She felt one hand running firmly up her back. He was playing with the tips of her hair.

Her eyes dropped down to his crotch, he had a very visible hard on. She hesitated momentarily and tilted her pelvis forward making contact.

Severus' eyes lit up, he grabbed a hand full of hair and wrapped it round his first firmly whilst gently pulling her head down, "trouble" he hissed as her eyes aligned with his and he kissed her hard and demandingly.

Hermione groaned into his mouth, pushing down on his erection.

He pulled her head back, breaking the kiss and whispered into her mouth "so so much fucking trouble girl" his voice was gruff and deep, it reminded her of when he had labeled her a vision last friday. Her stomach lurched.

She surrendered to him and his kiss.

Time passed, they had been kissing like teenagers, well quite correct for one of them she thought amusingly. She just couldn't get enough of him, he was so sure of his tongue and his lips that Hermione let him take the lead.

She broke the kiss off, his eyes fluttered open "I should be going its 10 o'clock" she said between stolen kisses.

"Mmmmm yes" he said gruffly you should. "Off with you!" He said whilst playfully slapping her bottom.

"Behhaaaaaaave" she said in her best Snape impression complete with mock scowl.

Snape cocked a lazy eyebrow at her, closed his eyes then drew his hand back and spanked her sharply. "Oi" she yelped. He gave a dirty low laugh.

Severus pushed her off of him, if he didn't do it now, he knew he might never let her return to Gryffindor tower.

He stood up, he was comfortable enough that he didn't even try to hide his raging hard on. Hermione straightened her hair out, he kissed her on the forehead, and turned to his chambers.

Hermione gathered her things, she heard the sound of the shower start to run.

Bastard she thought with a pang of jealousy thinking how much she enjoyed his shower and at that moment a very bold thought entered her mind.

She debated with herself for minutes and having made her final decision she crossed into his bedroom and stripped out of her jeans and tshirt. She headed for the door to the bathroom. She was very clear with herself, if she crossed this threshold she may just end up sleeping with Snape.

She turned, then turned again. No, she would take what came.

She opened the door.

She could see the outline of his body through the steamed glass. His hands were in his hair soaping his scalp.

She followed the line from his wrist to his elbow. He had well defined strong forearms. His triceps were lean and clear, he had perfectly round shoulders.

His firm shoulder blades lead to a narrow waist. He had a perfect triangle torso. His arse was firm and white, he had a definitive tan line at the bottom of his back, evidently Snape had recently been to sunnier climes.

It was his legs, lean, long muscle covered in dark curly hair. That made her swoon. She drank all of him in.

"Room for a little one? Albeit an insufferable one"she said silkily leaning back against the sink.

He froze, turning his head slowly, the shampoo was cascading over his face. He couldn't see. He stuck his head in a jet to clear the soap before pushing his hair out of his face with both of his hands. He pushed open the shower door with his foot.

She was a sight for sore eyes. Curvy but toned, pert breasts, brown pink nipples and a strip of tidy pubic hair. He couldn't have asked for more he thought.

Snape was well endowed, he was semi hard. Thick shafted and circumcised. His balls were taught and looked seriously tight. He had well managed jet black pubic hair.

He beckoned her in to the shower with a single finger. "Come hither girl" he said crystal clear. He closed the door behind her.

Hermione was in front of him, water spilling over them both. She felt Snape move her wet hair to one side and he bit her shoulder, "enjoy your last shower that much did you?" He asked her waiting for an answer.

Hermione blushed. He couldn't know, could he!? Her hand pressed against the glass to steady herself to give her time to think, distractedly he was moving quickly between kisses and bites on her neck.

"Yesss" she breathed. His hand clasped over hers on the glass in response to the answer he had been looking for.

They both felt it, an electrical tingle of magic passed between them. Severus' cock was jerking and straining in its own skin. The anticipation was almost unbearable.

"Let's repeat your first shower then" he said slowly and with his free hand he passed her the portable jet. "You knew?" She panted, she could probably climax purely on brain activity alone right at this moment she thought.
"Obbbviously" Snape whispered in her ear, his hand still on top of hers, encasing it on top of the glass.

She let out a very short sweet screaming purr as the jet hit her spot and she started to work it. Severus was pushing his erection against her legs and arse. He wanted to fuck her of course but he needed to know she really wanted it. Once he'd bedded her he could never undo that, for bedding her would change everything.

She was working herself with the jet, Severus needed to touch her, and he ran his free hand between her legs, she was dripping wet. She purred loudly in response to his touch.

His cock couldn't take it any more, her used the moistness of her juices and wrapped his hand around his cock. His grip tightened over her hand on the glass and he squeezed. She started to climax, she made short sweet screams and as she did she doubled over in ecstasy, bending over in front of him exposing her arse and arching her back.

Hermione knew she only remained on her feet as Snape had pinned her hand to the glass. Severus pumped his cock harder at the sight of her bent over in front of him and her sweet tones were sending him over the edge. Just as she was experiencing the last tremors of her orgasm. Snape let our a resounding deep roar, which probably shook Hogwarts to its foundations.

Severus exploded and shot his load all over her arse and lower back.

She felt it hit her like a jolt, so hot and creamy. Slowly realising Snape had wanked over her, as she had played in front of him.

Their heavy breathing fell in time. The water washing away their juices. Severus released her hand and pulled her round into his chest.

"God you're irresistible" he growled as he kissed her tenderly on the collarbone.

Eventually they stepped out of the shower, Snape handed her a large bath sheet and wrapped a smaller one round his waist.

Hermione reached across him for a towel for her hair.

"Stay?" He said as she leaned across him, he was running a comb through his hair. "I promise, I will get you safe and unseen to class tomorrow morning"

How could Hermione refuse.
