*AN: I wanted to thank the people that have been so nice to drop me a line about how they like my story. It helps me write and gives me ideas. For everyone else PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW so I know if I should continue with this story. Thanks for reading.
The next few weeks leading up to the Hogsmead trip were busy for Draco and Brianna. When not doing homework, they were continuing the diagnostic spells on the vanishing cabinet and owling the results to Borgin who in turn would give them more spells to try out. They were also perfecting there plans on there first attack in the chamber of secrets. Everything had to be perfect for it to work.
Brianna also spent most of her nights in Severus's chambers, were they would read, talk or make love and she would stay the night waking up in his arms, just like they both preferred. They had come to the point where it was almost impossible for either of them to sleep good unless they were together in the same bed. So as much as they could get away with it Brianna would sneak down to his room's and spend the night.
Brianna had filled Severus in on the plan they were doing during Hogsmead so when panic irrupted in the castle he would already be aware. He told her the plan was brilliant but to make sure they were careful not to get caught.
The day of the Hogsmead trip Brianna and Draco lined up with everyone else at the doors of the great hall for Filch to check everyone with the Sensory Detector making sure no one had Dark Arts stuff on them.
"Hey, watch were your sticking that thing you filthy pervert." Brianna screeched at him when he got carried away with running that thing over her body. He backed away quickly to avoid the death glare Draco was sending him.
They made there way together to the village and went into a few shops buying thing to make it look like they were just enjoying the day shopping. When it was time to meet Lucius they slipped away and met him in the alley they all chose. When they got there Lucius put up wards so no one would see of hear them.
"Okay, here it is. I went in under disguise so no one will ever know who exactly bought it. Be careful and don't touch it with your bare skin. It's highly lethal." Lucius told them handing it to Brianna who peek into the package to see a beautiful necklace that you wouldn't ever think could kill you.
"Thanks Uncle Lucius. We better go." she said and he nodded taking down the wards and appreating away. Brianna placed the package in her pocket before they made there way to the three broom sticks. They sat down and ordered drinks and food, pretending to have a good time like any other trip there.
Potter and his two friends where there as well chatting and laughing as well as over half the other students that went to Hogsmead that day.
When they had been there for over an hour they noticed Rosmerta go to the bathroom which is when they chose to act. They both got up and went to the restroom. Draco disillusioned himself and followed Brianna into the loo. They were going to both put Rosmerta under Imperio curse to make it stronger.
"Hey." Rosmerta said to her washing her hands.
Brianna and Draco both pulled there wands and said 'Imperio.' watching as her eyes glazed over as the spell took effect.
"We want you to hand this package to the next female student that comes in the door, Imperio them to do what you say. Tell her the package must be delivered to Dumbledore. Tell no one where or who you got it from, then go about your business like nothing happened." Brianna commanded in her mind.
Rosmerta nodded her head that she would follow the order and took the package from them. Brianna and Draco then left the pub passing a lot of witness on the way out and headed back to the castle and to there common room.
An hour later they were summoned to the hospital wing, where Snape had just arrived as well. Potter, Weasley, Granger and another girl was there as well, along with the injured person the necklace went to. Draco and Brianna pretended to be shocked at what was going on.
"Oh Severus, please come in. This child was cursed by the necklace can you see if you can help her." McGonagall told him. He ran a check on the girl who's name was Katie Bell.
"I'll need to see what it was she touched." Severus said and McGonagall pointed to the necklace on the counter. He went over to it running his wand over it.
"I think, Miss. Bell, is lucky to be alive. I can stop the spreading of the curse but she'll need St. Mungo's to cure her. What was she doing with something like this anyways." Severus ask as he went about stopping the curse. This was going just as Draco and Brianna planned.
"She was cursed in the three broom sticks to deliver it to Professor Dumbledore." McGonagall told him and he shot her a surprised look just as he finished his healing. When he was done Poppy took Katie and flooed with her to St. Mungo's.
"Um Professor I'm not sure why you ask for us here." Brianna ask her and she looked as if she just remembered they were there. Potter was throwing a smug look at them.
"Ah, Yes, Sorry about that. Have you heard about what happened to Miss. Bell." She ask them.
"Professor, news spreads around here rather fast. We have heard about 10 different stories but were not sure which is true." Brianna told her and she nodded.
"Yes I imagine there is a lot of talk going on. What happened was Miss. Bell was given this necklace and told to bring it to the castle. On her way she touched it and it almost killed her. Now, naturally we have to investigate all rumors. Where the two of you at the three broom sticks today?" McGonagall ask. Brianna knew that Potter had told her he thought they did it, they expected that and were prepared for it.
"Yes, of course we were. We always go there to eat after shopping. Why." Brianna ask looking very confused.
"Do you remember seeing Miss. Bell and her friend there." she ask pointing to a girl named Leanne that had just walked over to them from the other side of the room, where she had been crying. Brianna looked at her and nodded.
"Yes, I think I saw them as we were leaving. They were sitting near the door." Brianna said and McGonagall nodded.
"Minerva where is this going?" Snape ask her.
"Someone mentioned that they saw Miss. LeStrange go to the restroom shortly before this may have happened. Miss. Bell is not able to tell us who gave it to her and Leanne didn't see anything, so I am bound to investigate all rumors. Although I don't believe Draco or Brianna had anything to do with this." McGonagall said and Potter looked at her like she was crazy.
"Professor I did go to the loo before we left, like I always do. The only one in the bathroom when I was in there was the lady that owns the bar, Rosmerta. She was washing her hands." Brianna told her and she nodded. "You can also check with Filch, he checked me and everyone else thoroughly with the Sensory Detector as we left and when we came back." Brianna continued.
"Professor, I don't think she had anything to do with this. I saw her leave well before Katie ever went to the loo. She wasn't even there when it happened." Leanne said quietly from beside McGonagall.
"Furthermore, I don't appreciate Potter and his friends accusing me of something so heinous just because they don't particularly like me or Draco. Throwing stones without concrete evidence is wrong." Brianna told her. Potter looked angry while his friends blushed. Brianna sent a smirk at Potter that only he saw.
"I completely agree, Miss. LeStrange and don't worry no one thinks you or Draco had anything to do with this, so rest easy. I know your innocent." McGonagall told them sending a stern look at Potter.
"Thank you Professor." They both said before leaving the hospital wing with Severus following after them pulling them into his office.
"You have got to be more careful. What if McGonagall thought you had did it." he said as they sat in his office.
"But she doesn't, Sev. And we expected this from Potter. We want him making himself look stupid by blaming us, then be proven wrong when no one believes him." Brianna said and he just sighed.
"Just please be careful." he told them and they both nodded. Brianna shot Draco and look telling him to leave and he did.
Once he was gone Brianna stood from her chair and walked around Snape's desk standing in front of him, she sat on the desk and rested her feet on Snape's chair on each side of his legs. His eyes went wide at the position this put her in and he swallowed hard.
"You worry to much, love. Maybe I should help easy some of your stress." she purred slowly unbuttoning her shirt to revel a black lace bra. She could see him staring at her chest as he shifted in his seat. She took one of her feet and ran it up his thigh grazing it over the erection in his pants. He closed his eyes and groaned at the sensation.
When he opened them again they were black with lust. Standing quickly he stood in between her legs grabbing her hips and yanking her forward.
"You should learn not to play with fire. You could get burned." he growled playing with her breast through her bra. She tilled her head back and moaned.
"Maybe I want to get burned." she said seductively that had him growling in his throat. He pushed the shirt off her shoulders throwing it to the floor, her bra followed the shirt.
Once she was bare from the waist up he lowered his mouth and began attacking her breast. He loved her breast so much he could gladly spend all day at her chest. He spent time sucking, pinching and needing them before moving down her stomach and removing her knickers off her legs tossing them to the floor. He used his fingers to tease her sex.
"Ah..Please Severus don't tease me." she panted out and he smirked into her skin.
"Impatient little thing today aren't we." he teased and she growled at him. He was impatient today too and couldn't wait anymore. He straightened up and pulled her off the desk turning her around and bending her over yanking her skirt to the floor.
He ran his hands down her spine enjoying the view of her ass in the air bent over his desk. He would never be able to sit at it again without picturing this. With a whispered spell he removed all his clothes, teasing her entrance with his cock, causing her to buck and groan in frustration.
"What's the matter, love. Do you want something." he teased pinning her hand behind her back with his other hand.
"Yes. You I want you." she panted out.
"And what do you want me to do? Huh? Do you want me to fuck you, bent over my desk like you are? Do you want me to fuck your hot pussy?" he growled biting her neck. She loved it when he talked dirty to her, his voice was the sexiest thing in the world and it drove her crazy.
"YES. God yes. Please." she begged him.
"As you wish." she smirked before slamming into her so hard the desk moved up some.
She screamed his name and arched her back as he pulled back out and pushed forward again harder this time. He let go of her hands to be able to grip her hips helping him move faster and harder with each thrust.
She met him thrust for thrust and they began a violent rhythm, moaning and cursing as they moved together.
Severus was gritting his teeth to make it last. She was so tight, wet and warm that he could feel his balls tightening already. Determined to make her come first he reached down and grabbed a hand full of her long dark hair and yanked her body up against his chest. She loved the pain and dominating during sex and she moaned out loud as she pulled her hair. He used his other hand to wrapped around her waist and pinched her clit all the while still plowing into her from behind. She wrapped both her hands around his neck and into his hair pulling as well, she knew he too enjoyed pain.
"Come for me NOW. Brianna." he yelled into her ear. Pulling her hair hard and kissing her lips. She moaned and screamed into his mouth as her orgasm took over pulling his out of him forcibly as well. With a loud moan he too came hard falling back into his chair taking her with him.
"Fuck." he panted out wrapping both arms around her waist and pulling her into his chest as they sat there trying to catch there breath.
"I think we just did." she joked to him causing him to laugh and kiss her head.
"I love you." he said.
"And I you." she told him smiling.
"Are you going to stay the night with me." he ask and she nodded. Once he regained use of his legs he picked her up along with his wand and there clothes and carried her to his private rooms and laid her on the bed. After the necessary charms he crawled into bed covering them up with his black silk comforter and pulled her into his body and they drifted off to sleep.
Slytherin and Gryffindor had there first Quidditch match a few days later. Draco had drop out this year due to all the work he and Brianna had to complete. Quidditch wasn't what was important anymore. They used that time when the castle was empty to spend time on the Vanishing Cabinet. Borgin was keeping up his end of the bargain. Every time they sent him an owl with questions or new information, he would reply within a couple days with the answer. Brianna's father had told her in his last letter that Greyback was making weekly visit's as promised, keeping Borgin on his toes.
Her father was happy with the progress they had made on the cabinet so far as well as the attacked they had played on the school. They planned to lay another trap right before Christmas break and they were already working on a plan.
After the Quidditch match Brianna and Draco started noticing Ron had a girlfriend in the form of Lavender Brown. They also noticed that due to this Hermione was no long talking with Weasley. The golden trio was once again fighting and this made Draco and Brianna's day.
"What's wrong Granger, jealous of Brown for getting Weasley before you." Draco taunted her one day in the hall.
"Leave her alone." Potter spat and looked to Ron for help. He looked as if he wanted to but Lavender pulled him away. Hermione look betrayed and pissed as she dashed away with Potter following after her.
"Merlin that was too easy." Draco laughed as they went back to there common room.
The weeks went by and December was quickly approaching. Brianna and Draco had successfully delivered Slughorn the poisoned mead. They figured he would either drink it or share it with Dumbledore during the holiday's. All they could do was wait and see if something happens.
Brianna had been going to Slughorn's clubs every time he sent her an invite. She had already developed a great relationship with him. The only problem was he was so caught up on Potter that it was hard for her to find a way to cause doubt in his mind. If Dumbledore was going to use Potter to get that information out of Slughorn, Brianna had to find a way to cause Slughorn to not trust him. She just needed to bide her time and wait for the perfect moment to slip in that doubt. So for now she waited for Potter to make his move, if he ever did.
Slughorn's Christmas party was schedules the night before everyone left for Christmas break. Brianna of course got an invitation and need to find someone to go with. She couldn't go with Severus like she wanted so she ask Draco.
"Hey Dray?" she ask coming into the common room.
"Yeah?" he ask eyeing her smile, knowing she was up to something.
"I got to go to Slughorn's party tomorrow night and I was hoping you'd go with me?" she ask and he arched an eye brow.
"I don't know." he said.
"Come on. You know you want to go and make fun of everyone and I don't want to take someone that thinks it's a date or anything." she said and he sighed.
"Alright I guess I'll go, only so Severus doesn't end up killing someone for touching what is his." Draco joked then ran to his run dodging the hex she tossed his way.
The night of the party Brianna was getting ready in her room with Pansy's help. She decided to wear something different. If she couldn't go with Severus she could tease him all night with her outfit. So she was wearing a deep red cocktail dress that showed her long legs and it was cut low in the back as well as showing nice cleavage in the front. She wore her normal jewelry and Pansy fixed her hair, half up and half down. When she was done she gave a turn for Pansy to make sure everything was perfect.
"You look great, Bree. Your so lucky to be going with Draco." Pansy said with a wishful voice. She knew her friend had a thing for her cousin.
"Pansy he is my cousin. He's only going so I wouldn't have to take anyone else. None of these idiot boys around here interest me." Brianna told her pocketing her wand.
"Yeah I know, because you have a real man someone out there that you still wont tell me who it is." Pansy tried again.
"No can do. All in good time." Brianna smirked leaving the room to meet up with Draco.
When she walked into the common room all eyes were on her. And most all the boys that were sitting around started whistling. Draco glared them all down.
"Watch it." he growled and they turned there heads from staring. Draco of course look great as usual.
"You look great Cuz. But Severus is going to kill me." he said holding his arm for her to take and leading her out of the common room and towards Slughorn's office.
"Why's that." she ask.
"Cause I let you leave the safety of your room in that dress." he said and she rolled her eyes.
They entered the Party behind Potter and his date Luna Lovegood. When they came into the room they glided in like royalty, posing for a picture before moving around the room talking with Blaze.
"Ah, Brianna, my dear you look simple beautiful and you brought Draco with you, splendid. I do hope you too enjoy yourselves." Slughorn said coming over and kissing Brianna's hand.
"Thank you sir, you look great yourself. And it was an honor to be invited." she said smiling laying it on thick. He beamed at her.
"No thanks needed you earned it with your wonderful potions ability." he told her and she nodded her head.
"Harry my boy come here I want you to meet someone." Slughorn called and Harry and his date came over. Brianna and Draco glared at Potter, which he returned before turning his attention to Slughorn.
"Harry, Brianna this is Eldred Worple author of My life amongst the Vampires, and his friend Sanguini." Slughorn introduced. Brianna looked up and saw an older wizard and a vampire standing next to Slughorn.
"Harry Potter I am simply delighted." the wizard said shacking his hand.
"And you my dear are the most stunning thing I have laid eyes on in a long time." he said to Brianna who forced a smile on her face when he kissed her hand. The Vampire was eyeing her hungrily licking his lips, trying to glamour her but it wasn't working.
"Pleasure to meet you both. If you'll excuse us." Brianna said dragging Draco to the refreshment table.
"I told you that dress was a mistake. That Vampire was ready to eat you." Draco told her as they grab a glass of pumpkin juice.
"I noticed he was trying to glamour me but it doesn't work." Brianna told him.
She felt someone's heated gaze on her and she looked around locking eyes with Severus who was standing across the room in the corner. His eyes were sweeping up and down her body and he licked his lip, eyes dark with lust. She flashed him a seductive smile before Draco dragged her off to eavesdrop of Potter and Slughorn's conversation now that the Vampire had moved away.
"Yes Potter has a natural talent for Potions, oh and Brianna as well." He said to Trelawney as Brianna and Draco walked up. Potter was not happy to see Draco there at all.
"I haven't taught many with a natural talent like that except Severus of course." he said and Snape appeared standing next to him.
"Ah, Severus about time you stop sulking and came to join us." Slughorn said putting a arm around his shoulder. "I was just talking about Harry and Brianna's exceptional Potion-making. Some credit must go to you, of course, you taught them for years." Slughorn said. Snape's eyes bored into Potter's who shifted uncomfortably on his spot.
"Funny, I never had the impression that I managed to teach Potter much of anything. Brianna however was always good in my class." He said smiling at her before returning his suspicious gaze on Potter. Brianna caught it too and read Potter's mind.
"Shit. He knows about that book. He has to. I wasn't good in Potions till I got the Half-Blood Princes old book." Potter worried in his mind.
Brianna gasp and everyone looked at her. She covered it up quickly.
"Oh look at that I need another drink. Excuse me." she smiled and Slughorn nodded, going back to talk to Potter about his other classes. Brianna shot Snape a look telling him she needed to talk with him and he slightly nodded. Brianna left Draco talking with Blaze and retreated to a corner of the room pretending to lean up against the wall, drinking her drink and watching the party. She saw Snape trying to get away from Slughorn before she felt someone beside her.
Turning to saw the Vampire standing there.
"You my dear look delicious." he purred moving closer. Brianna backed up some glaring at him.
"Look I am so not interested. Now I suggest you move on to someone else." she hissed and he just smiled.
"Oh but I think not." he said reaching out to touch her but was stopped by another hand grabbing his. Brianna looked up and saw a pissed off Snape wand in hand glaring at the Vampire.
"I think the young lady told you she was not interest. Unless you want this to be your last night breathing I suggest you do as she ask and move on." Snape growled at him. The Vampire looked between him and his wand before nodding and retreating across the room. Brianna sighed in relief.
Snape grabbed Brianna's wrist and drug her out on the balcony and into the dark shadows where no one would see them. Once there he pulled her into his arms.
"Are you alright." he said pulling back to look at her.
"Yes I'm fine. Thanks but the way." she said before he kissed her, walking her backwards till she was against the wall.
"Do you have any idea how unbelievable sexy you look in this dress." he ask looking down at the dress before meeting her eyes again.
"Maybe." she smiled.
"You wore this on purpose to tease me tonight, didn't you?" he ask smirking.
"That may have been the reason, yes." she told him.
"It worked, and on more men than just me. I have spent all night trying not to kill everyone male that is lusting after my witch." he told her before claiming her mouth again. He ran his hands down her body hitching one of her legs around his waist.
"Severus, this isn't the place we could be seen." she told him moaning as he kissed her neck. He kissed her a few more times before sighing and pulling away.
"Your right. Come to my chambers tonight. I have to have you. And don't dare change clothes." he said and she nodded. He went to walk away and she remembered what she needed to tell him.
"Wait." she said and he turned around.
"When you were talking with Potter about his potions skills, I read his mind and he was worried you know about some book that he has been using to get good grades this year. It's your old potions book. The half-blood princes book." she told him and his eyes narrowed in anger. Brianna knew all about the book and nick name so it wasn't news to her.
"Potter doesn't deserve to have that book. He's just like his filthy father. Thank you for telling me, I will get it back from him." he said before kissing her quickly and leaving the party.
Brianna made her way back to Draco and they spent a few more minutes there before they too left the party and Brianna went to spend the night with Severus.
