And their relationship began. She came to see him more than usual, they had tea, they spoke more openly, and they both laughed a bit more. Theia thoroughly enjoyed snogging him, and they spent a few nights cuddled on the couch together. As per her request, Severus didn't talk about bedroom stuff, letting her set the pace. They had also discovered in that time, that every time she saw him her eyes would become the soft golden light.

Christmas came and went. She spent the majority of it with Snape on the campus, but frequented the Order's headquarters frequently. Mrs. Weasley gave her a death glare the first couple days she was there, clearly upset about the attack on her husband, which had landed him in St. Mungo's, but had brightened considerably when she gave her a bag of yarn for new scarves, in all the colors she was missing, along with a small bag of muggle party favors for kids for Mr. Weasley as he recovered, but is didn't stop the woman from giving her a begging look each time they caught each others eyes.

She spent time with Sirius who had become more restless, expanding one of the rooms so that they could play basketball, a game he an James had played during the couple of summers he had spent at the Potter's house when he was still in school. Remus joined them, but they stated, very loudly over dinner that the only reason she beat them was because she was a seer. She scoffed at them, not having the heart to tell them that they just sucked.

A couple days she spent with Buckbeak, and with Harry and his friends. They played a few games of exploding snap, Hermione asked her about the Ravenclaw dorms and then she was gone again. She didn't know if she should stay and try to make everyone happy, but sometimes it got to her, seeing there faces, and in her mind seeing their lifeless bodies. She told them much the same she told others, death was inevitable, other details could be altered, but the permanent visions of death couldn't.

And so she went to Severus. For Christmas he bought her a thick tomb, it was a combination book, the first half of muggle mythology, and the second part, the known facts of the wizarding world. It had everything from wild animals, and sprites, and how to fight and protect yourself against them, and an entire herbal section, including regions and different strains. She adored it. She sheepishly presented him with an oddly shaped box. He opened it, finding tightly contained vials of extraordinarily hard to find potions ingredients, and a mug set, matching the one he had. When he asked her about it she told him she would eventually break the one she always used, but was unsure at what point in time. Severus smiled and they kissed, cuddling by the fire.

She had slept there that night, making it clear that sleep was the only thing to happen, which Severus had laughed at, but good to his word, he behaved himself.

Midway to spring break she took an excursion to muggle London. She had made her desicion a while ago of what she wanted to do.

That evening Severus took her out to dinner, as they had been doing on the occasion, but she was glad that it had fallen on today. They ate seafood overlooking a very large ond with giant koi fish swimming in it, laughing as their host flirted with her, Severus' jaw clenching. She ate praline cheesecake and they leaned back in their chairs, chatting.

They were in his rooms that evening, after both showering- and Severus was reading. She was wearing her bathrobe, something she hardly ever did, and her heart was pumping. She had disregarded putting her necklace back on after she had showered, and from the glow on her cheeks, she knew her eyes must already be glowing golden.

She walked over and brushed a hand agains Severus' shoulder. He looked up and smiled at her. She smiled back and kissed him.

"May I steal you from grading papers?" He laughed, dropping what he had been commenting upon.

"I don't know," he siad standing and taking her offered hand, "You know I love grading half-assed work. I mean, it's my favorite thing ever." He said sarcastically, grinning at her as she pulled him forward, letting him walk into his bedroom. "Can't resist snogging me can you?" he chuckled as she shut the door. The fire in the room had been lit along with candels illiminating a few other places.

Severus turned and his jaw dropped. She hid her blush from him, tippign her head down a little, letting her hair hide her expression.

She peeked out at him however, gauging his face for his reaction. She stood in her earlier purchase, a black, little-to-do-with-covering-ones-body gown that strreached only to mid thigh. She loved it though, the see-through black top part was only over her chest, and pulled into a halter, the rest, a black silk, shifted in the light as she moved foot to foot.

He crossed the room, arms stretching out to touch the sides of her arms, and she met his searching gaze. She coughed, still nervous and spoke,

"I was, uhh, I mean I've wanted this for a while. Severus swallowed.

"Are you sure?" He asked, and she rolled her eyes.

"No. I was kidding, I just bought this to make you drool." He laughed with her and he kissed her, arms wrapping behind her back and around her waist. She was pulled forward, and she walked, still kissing him, to the bed.

He lifted her and moved to settle her in the center, after kicking all the covers to the end of the bed. Severus knelt between her knees and sat up pulling off his shirt. She sat forward, kissing his collar bone, chuckling as he jumped at the unexpected contact, now fumbling to get his shirt off.

She moved her hands around his torso, tracing scars, trailing to his pant line, and swooping off to the side to tease him. He groaned and made a move to get her back for it but she looped a finger under the waist band of his sleep pants. His breathing became irradic as she let her fingers brush over the buldge.

Suddenly she was on her back, Sevrus' leg over her hips, its weight keeping her down as he laid along side her, kissing her soundly, letting his had travel behind her neck, undoing the dress' tie. She let if fall forward and he ran a hand over her collar bone. Now it was her time to gasp, they hadn't really been naked together before. He usually lost his shirt, and she became less dressed, but this was the first time this had happened.

He ran his hand over her chest and gasped, stopped kissing her, and pulled back. She swore internally, forgetting that he had no idea she had these. He pulled back to see her nipple peircings, a single steel barbell though each. She blushed and let him touch them, and he tugged on one.

"When did you get these?" He asked, voice gruff.

"Umm, the summer before the start of my fifth year." He looked at them piontedly,

"May I?" She nodded, and he lowered his head, taking one into his mouth. She gasped as he sucked on it, bucking into his leg, the arm that wasn't under her head for support trailed down, pulling up her dress, and he ran his long cool fingers against the lace undies she wore. She was panting for air inbetween kisses as he slid a hand into her underwear, finding her pleasure point, and began rubbing softly.

She squeaked and moaned out, dropping all pretense of trying to keep her cool. He began rubbing faster and she was all too ready to come. She jumped and he wraper his armaround her, shifting so his chest could keep weight upon hers as he kissed and nipped at her neck.

"Oh God, oh Fuck, ahhh" She came hard, her muscled tensing so her she was nearly in a sitting position before Sevrus pushed her down gently. He kissed her again, chuckling as her legs trembled. He sat back on his knees and she grinned.

"Two can play that game."
