Chapter 6:
'What on earth was that all about? I'm sitting next to some one who can't control their own mind!' Severus thought silently to himself.
"Don't worry, I don't do it often." She said quietly as she stared down at the floor.
"Oh great! Don't tell me that you can read minds now?!"
"No, I can't read minds, I could just tell what you were thinking, that's what everyone thinks when it happens to me. I might as well just go." She slid off of the desk and walked towards the end of the room, she paused at the door as Severus spoke.
"You don't have to leave Honor."
"Yes, I do. You need to think Severus, and so do I." She closed the door behind her. In the dungeons it was freezing, the month was September and the cold weather wasn't due until the end of October but then again this was the dungeon.
The school was dark and quiet, she knew that Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had just walked past under an invisibility cloak but in the tired and fatigued mood she was in, Honor did not punish them and merely said
"Good night Mr Potter and Mr Weasley, don't stay up too late." She knew they had heard this because Ron cursed rather loudly and Honor watched as they ran around the corner. She laughed to herself, it had been fun taking those cloaks straight off of the students when she was a prefect. Now it was just funny watching the rare students smugly walk past thinking that they were hidden. She would have given a detention but tonight she just didn't have strength.
Pushing open the door of her bedchambers she quickly washed and changed for bed. She pushed back the warmed black silk sheets, slid into the soft bed and downed her sleeping potion. Honor quickly drifted off into a peaceful and well-needed sleep.

Honor stirred, it was morning but some one had drawn the pale green muslin curtains around her four-poster bed, she slowly lifted her head off the silver silk pillows. Standing up she stretched in her black and silver satin negligee and walked in to next room where two high backed chairs faced the unlit fire. It may have been early morning but her Seeing abilities were not at all as drowsy as she felt.
"Good morning Severus thank you for coming in here to make sure I was alright but next time wait until I come out of my bed before you look at me. I mightn't have been decent!" Severus got up, gave a small grin and replied.
"I don't mind, I have seen it all before you know." Honor gasped at his response and then smiled.
"I should slap you for that!"
"Bring it on, I could snap that wrist in half!"
"Yeah right! You're as weak as a feather from the looks of you."
"You have so many qualities but is x-ray vision not one of them?"
"Look, if I had x-ray vision I'd kill myself, think of all those old men! Yuck!!"
"So then young lady you think that I, Severus Snape, is weak don't you?" Honor nodded. Severus rolled up his sleeves and flexed some bulging muscles. "This is what years of lifting heavy boxes of newly ordered potions boxes and Quidditch training does to you."
"You are just one big show off Severus Snape. Robes hide a lot don't they?" Honor moved forward to Severus smiling.
"On me they do. You must be cold in that scrap of material, it is bitter this morning. Here." He kindly offered the side of his robe to her.
"No it's alright Severus." She walked over to the mantle piece above the fireplace and picked up her wand. She cast a warming spell around them. Severus dropped the material back and felt the warmth surround him. Honor was standing directly in front of him, close enough to feel his breath flutter against her cheek, she was so glad he had bothered to brush his teeth this morning because she couldn't hold out any longer, Honor leaned forward and their lips touched. Severus froze and then relaxed, this beautiful young woman was kissing him, he reacted and returned the kiss. A tingling sensation washed down her spine as their kiss deepened, their feelings requited in the early morning light. Severus stroked the small of her back with the tips of his fingers through the thin satin, which enveloped her soft skin. She ran her fingers through his silky black hair, then let them drift down his front until she pushed his chest softly and they broke the kiss. Severus smiled shyly and Honor smiled back.
"Did you predict that?" he asked smoothly.
"No, I think it would have spoilt the moment if I did though."
"Yes, it might have, but it was a wonderful moment. What are you thinking?"
"I think its time for breakfast." Honor headed towards the door.
"Some thing tells me that Albus and the other staff will not appreciate you walking down in your night gown."
