Armonie's POV

I breathed of sigh of relief when I finished grading the last of the exams.

If I see another exam I'm gonna lose my damn mind my phoenix complained. Never mind I have already

I rolled my eyes at her whining and stood up from my desk. Hogwarts would be ending it's school year soon and it looked like Slytherin was going to win the house cup again. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione lost their house major points the other Gryffindors were angry. Hell even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were too.

I'm sure Severus is looking forward to seeing the term end my phoenix added.

Since that night I confessed to Severus I did my best to not bring up the subject. I didn't know if he returned my feelings or not. I definitely wasn't going to push the matter either.

"I see your finished with your grading"

"Severus I really wish you didn't sneak up on people" I reprimanded the Potions Master.

"You could say it's a habit" he responded.

"What exam did you make your students perform?"

"The Forgetfulness Potion"

"Oh geez that one is a bitch to brew"

At my cursing Severus smirked and like an idiot I blushed. I had to get out of this room and clear my head.

"Armonie"

I froze when Severus said my name. Sometimes I wished I wasn't attracted to his deep voice.

"We need to talk" the head of Slytherin continued.

I sighed and looked to the Potions Master.

"Do you? I've been avoiding this matter since that night"

Severus didn't say anything and I guess he didn't want to talk after all so I tried to walk past him but the black haired male was quick to grab my hand and carefully he pinned me against a wall.

"Avoiding me won't solve things" he said.

"Then just say what you want to say Severus and don't screw around with my emotions!" I snapped. "You know how I feel for you, trust me I tried not to fall in love with you but damn it I did"

The Potions Master growled before claiming a hungry kiss. This time I reacted unlike last time.

My phoenix half wolf whistled and I mentally shot her the bird.

As the kiss got more heated Severus decided to use his tongue to dance with mine. For the moment I allowed him to be the dominate partner and when our tongues danced it was bloody intoxicating. Eventually we pulled apart so we could catch our breath.

"I cannot give you an answer" Severus replied. As he said this he placed his forehead against mine. "But soon I can"

He then kissed my forehead before leaving.

Snape's POV

I sighed after leaving Armonie. In all honesty I was confused with my feelings for her. I had known she loved me but yet she never said anything. If I were to guess she didn't want to disrespect my love for Lily. I still did love Lily but she's been gone for ten years and perhaps it was time for me to move forward.

Nearby I spotted Potter with his friends. Most of the students were outside enjoying the weather but why these three were not caught my attention.

"Good afternoon" I greeted the three Gryffindors. They froze and slowly turned to face me. "Now what would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be inside on a day like this?"

Ms. Granger as expected started to reply but she was nervous.

"You want to be careful" I advised. "People will think your"

My eyes locked onto Potter who was giving me a glare.

"Up to something"

I then turned and took my leave. Thank bloody god the school year was almost over.

Harry's POV

It was decided we would go through the trapdoor tonight. If not the Sorcerer's Stone was in danger of being stolen. Hermione had to place a spell on poor Neville so he wouldn't alert anyone. Ron, Hermione, and I used my Invisibility Cloak to maneuver around the corridors.

Once arriving at the door Hermione unlocked it and Fluffy was awake. It's three heads looked in our direction and their noses sniffed the air trying to get our scent. I pulled out the flute Hagrid gave me for Christmas and I began to play a pitiful tune. But it worked because Fluffy's eyes dropped and it wasn't long until the three headed dog was sound asleep. I helped Ron move a paw while Hermione continued to keep Fluffy asleep using the flute. Ron and I opened the trap door and we couldn't see anything but darkness.

The Invisibility Cloak was safe and I was the first one to jump through the trapdoor. Ron followed next and Hermione was last. All three of us landed on something soft and it was some kind of plant thing.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed when the plant began to move. It wasn't long until our bodies were covered in vines and what not.

"Stop moving both of you" Hermione said. "This is Devil's Snare you have to relax if you don't it will only kill you faster"

"Kill us faster?! Oh now I can relax!" Ron snapped.

Hermione then suddenly disappeared and this made Ron and I shout out for her. Ron kept struggling while Hermione shouted from below for us to relax. I calmed down and let my body relax and it worked because the Devil Snare let me go. Ron screamed and it was obvious he wasn't going to relax.

A few minutes later Hermione pulled out her wand and muttered a spell. When the light from her wand hit the Devil Snare the plant shrieked it's displeasure and Ron fell to the floor. Hermione and I helped him up onto his feet.

"Whew! Lucky we didn't panic"

"Lucky Hermione pays attention in Herbology"

The sound of wings got our attention next. Whatever it was it was coming from the next room.
