Chapter 35
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. A big thanks to all who read this and to my wonderful beta for putting up with my dreadful grammar and spellings. Now on with the tale…
The evening flew in and before I knew it, it was time to head down to the dungeons for my detention. I had told the boys at dinner what had happened after they had left and also the drama up in Dumbledore's office. They had seen me singing and skipping so I didn't need to fill them in on that part.
Lucky for me, Colin caught it all on his camera. I demanded first purchase which he agreed to straight away. I smiled as I made my way down to the bowels of hell. And people call me dramatic. Ha! If they only knew.
I knocked and entered without invitation, ready to face the serpent's rath only to find the dimly lit classroom empty. It was deathly quiet except for the bubbling cauldron that was on Snape's desk. A golden glow came from the potion and naturally curiosity got the best of me. I approached the potion cautiously, listening out for Snape's arrival. It was 'liquid luck' or 'Felix Felicis', to give it its proper name.
"Tempting isn't it?" whispered Snape. I jumped about a foot into the air and whirled around, causing the potion to go flying into the air.
Time seemed to slow to a snail's pace. I whirled back around and used wandless magic to catch both cauldron and potion before either could hit the floor and set them back onto the desk. I sighed in relief and whirled around to smack Snape only to find him to close to me. His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me further into his embrace.
I closed my eyes and smiled, as I breathed in his unique scent. "You worry me sometimes. You always seem to be too close to danger" he said as he laid his chin on the top of my head.
I giggled and said "By the way, I'm letting you know now that I can't make Saturday's detention". "Why not?" he asked as he slackened his hold on me to look at me fully.
"Because I'm not in the mood for it on Saturday" I said through a fit of giggles. His face was priceless. "Tough luck, Hun. Because if you're not there. I'll find you and drag you here" he said as his fingers danced up and down my spine. I shivered and gasped as he stole a kiss.
"Now start dicing up those roots and add them to the potion." I smiled and got to work.
That's all folks till next time….
