Snape and Consuela immediately released each other from their grasps and
began mumbling excuses as to their situation.
"Mr. Malfoy.we were just.Professor Snape was just showing me how to." Consuela said, fumbling over her words like one often is when they have been caught doing something, well bad. She had to suppress a smirk at her last thought, while Snape made a feeble attempt to recover any hope that they possibly had.
"How to revive someone who has had the misfortune of ingesting a Mortog's tongue." Snape said, piecing together the only things that came to mind.
Draco sneered with no attempt to hide the fact that he knew exactly what they had been doing. In fact, he'd been watching for longer than they knew. He hadn't been sure of how to handle the situation and truth be told, still didn't. He didn't have any proof of what they were doing, but maybe the threat of his father would be enough. "How about you show me that sometime, Consuela." Draco said, with a grin equivalent to that of Satan.
Snape glared at him, but chose to conceal his anger because of his obligations concerning Draco's father. "Mr. Malfoy I'm curious as to why you believe that you can just waltz into my classroom without any permission." Snape said as nonchalantly as humanly possible in a situation like this.
"I'm Head-Boy professor. It's my duty to monitor the halls at night. I thought there were two students in here snog." Draco stopped in mid- sentence as he realized he was edging towards the border of acceptance.
Consuela blushed at Draco statement but Snape only looked more enraged. "Very well Draco, we have explained ourselves accordingly, as have you. Now if you don't mind, I have matters to attend to, as does Consuela."
Draco was in complete shock. That was it? Snape isn't just going to let me walk out of here, is he? This is impossible. Draco thought. He had expected Snape to request a private 'chat', to clear things up. Strange, he thought, as he walked back to his dormitory.
"Consuela.I.I'm sorry." Snape said, looking into her eyes pleadingly. He stepped closer towards her and Consuela got the hint.
"How could you possibly even think of doing that again after what just happened? Are you completely insane? You men are all the same!" She shrieked, with most emphasis on the last sentence.
"I don't understand. Draco's gone now, there's nothing to stop us from."
"How about the fact that he's probably going to be watching us like a damn hawk from now on? Or that he's probably already sent an owl to his father? There's a possibility that we could get into serious trouble over this and all you can think about is continuing it!"
"Oh, I.I guess I hadn't really thought it through.Maybe if we."
"NO!" She cried as she stormed out.
Why did I ever even consider doing that? I let him put those filthy, greasy, skilled, sensual hands all over my body.Damn it! I need to get my mind off of him for a while. Consuela thought as she headed back towards her room. When she reached it, she decided to take long, hot bath to slightly ease her stress.
She ran the water and cast a charm to create frothy, sweet-smelling bubbles then began to undress. As she climbed into the steamy water, she felt all her troubles melt away as each inch of skin was submerged.
Snape was completely humiliated and Disgusted with himself. Oh Merlin! Has it been that long since I was with a woman? He thought to himself. He didn't even know what he was saying to her, it had just blurted out of him. This had never happened to him before. But then again, he had never been interrupted by a student before either. He decided that he should bring Consuela the ingredients for her potion tomorrow and apologize for his atrocious behavior.
------------
The next morning came entirely too soon for a certain pair of professors. Draco had told everyone he knew about what he had seen, but because of their obvious rivalry shown to everyone else, nobody believed him. Except of course, for Dumbledore. He was most pleased when he heard the news and was anticipating this morning very much.
Consuela entered the Great Hall for breakfast to find that Snape had already arrived. She carefully avoided his gaze as she crossed the room to their table. She made of a point of not sitting hear to him but she could still feel his eyes emblazoning her body with his gaze for the whole duration of breakfast. She ate swiftly and with record timing headed towards her classroom to prepare for the day's lessons.
Snape hardly touched his food. He knew Consuela was avoiding him completely and he didn't blame her. He still could not believe the way he had acted. It was not in his character at all to behave the way he did. Yet, she seemed to have that effect on him. He smiled slightly as he thought back to their kiss. She was VERY passionate and so he knew that he must have been affecting her in some way also. His feelings for her grew more complex every day. He decided that now would be a good time to talk with her, for he didn't want this to go on for much longer. He raced down to the dungeons and gathered together the ingredients needed for her blinding potion. He would have concocted it himself, but he remembered how forcefully she had insisted that she be the one who made it.
He reached her classroom shortly and realized that there was plenty of time until class started. Perfect, he thought, hopefully things will be all right between us when I leave. Maybe we'll even end up starting a relationship. At that thought Snape grew extremely happy. He had not realized how much he adored spending time with her. He decided that was what he really wanted and with that, he knocked on the door.
----------------
Consuela rose from her desk to answer the door behind she knew would be none other than Severus Snape. But, to her surprise and disappointment (which surprised her even more) it wasn't Snape. It was Dumbledore.
"I just wanted to stop by and see how things were going so far. No problems I expect?" Dumbledore said with a friendly smile.
"None so far, thanks." Consuela replied equally as friendly.
"Severus hasn't been riding you too hard has he?"
Consuela blushed so fiercely that Dumbledore was inclined to ask if there was something wrong but decided against it.
"Uh.n...no.not at all. He's been.um.civil and.yeah." Consuela silently cursed herself for her pathetic reply. She had made a fool of herself over nothing! Damn Snape and his irresistible sexiness!
"Alright then Consuela, I'm glad that you're settling in so nicely." Dumbledore said smiling again.
"Well thank you very much for stopping by, Albus."
"Always a pleasure." He replied before strolling out the door and heading down the corridor. Consuela closed the door and sat back down at her desk. She decided she should not dwell on what just happened and began grading papers.
Suddenly, she remembered she hadn't made the blinding potion yet. She would have to go see Snape again tonight. A visit she was not looking forward to. Her thoughts were interrupted by another gentle tap upon her door. She again stood up from her desk and headed towards the door, this time expecting to see Dumbledore back again as it had only been a minute or so since he had left. She opened the door and was taken aback when she saw the tall, dark form of Severus Snape.
"I'm so sorry to intrude, but I believe you requested these items.last night." He said, trying his best not to refer too much to last night.
Consuela stared back at him for a few moments and Snape was about to leave, thinking that now she wouldn't even speak to him, when she replied, her voice cracking, "Oh! Thank you. I was planning on returning tonight to get them but now.well, thank you. You saved me some trouble."
Why did I have to do this? She was going to come and get them.tonight, Snape thought. "Well actually, I also wanted to apologize.for my behavior last night. It was totally unacceptable and I cannot even believe I acted in such a way." Snape said, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.
"Thank you. I have to get back to this, so if you don't mind."
"I understand.I'll go now." Snape said in a voice filled with such pain and despair that Consuela was about to stop him when he stormed out of the room, his robes billowing.
"Mr. Malfoy.we were just.Professor Snape was just showing me how to." Consuela said, fumbling over her words like one often is when they have been caught doing something, well bad.
