Snape looked up from his stack of essay marking to see a very scared Hermione Granger at his door,
Snape stood in silence waiting for her to speak, his patience wearing thin; he casually and with sharpness mixed in for good measure spoke.

"Miss Granger if you have come here to have points deducted from gryffindor you are going about it expertly, now spit out what you have come to say and remove yourself from my sight."

Hermione's lips moved, he could clearly see it, unfortunately he could not hear what she was saying, fragments hit him "potions" "spiked" and something about helping?

"Miss Granger, although my hearing is above reproach, I cannot hear a dam word you are uttering, Speak up girl!"

Hermione was frozen to the spot as Snape glared at her; she could feel the heat rising in her face with every second passing his sharpness was not helping in the least.
Getting on Snapes nerves was not a good idea at the best of times so she decided to raise her voice as much as she dared.

"Professor Snape something has happened to me and its embarrassing to say"

Snape was now intrigued but was wise not to show it, had she come to explain herself because of the other night, he simply nodded for her to continue.

Not daring to look at Snape and seemingly finding some interesting pattern in the stonework's she continued,

"Well im pretty sure someone in the potion class put crushed rosé petals in my potion"

She waited for a response; she looked up to meet Snapes gaze,
His eyes narrowed and he smiled a cold smile, clearly he understood the implications
"alamara da lokada and inhibitions potion interesting to say the least", he said with a small sneer on his face.
Hermione was glad she did not have to explain what the potion effects were, she would have died on the spot. His voice softened,

"I guessed that it was some form of mind altering drug you had taken I was going to send an owl to fetch you later actually, of course ill do what I can"

*Was that sympathy? * Hermione pondered, * he actually looks cute when he is not scowling sexy as hell even*
Hermione tripped over her next words, but she had to say them.

"I guess you figured that out in the library then" *omg did I actually say that to him? *

Snape looked at her for a moment and his usual sneer was firmly back in place, you acting like a trollop did not help matteres, but it was Mcgonagall that convinced me."

Hermione wished the earth could have swallowed her up there and then, but Snape continued unimpeded,

"It was actually the comment about her glasses and a few other odd stories I have been hearing, you acting strange around me are to be expected I am aware how intimidating I can be, especially to someone without a backbone. But I knew miss prissy Hermione Granger would never dare insult her head of house."

Hermione tried to refrain herself but could not due to the potion, she knew he was goading her for a reaction and normally she would have just listened to it but she could not...

"And you are an arrogant slytherin bastard taking pleasure in my misfortune, this stupid potion is making me do crazy things and if you don't help me you will regret-!"

Before she could get the last word out Snape was right in front of her, sharply he and caustically he cut her in the middle of her rant, he had a strange glint in his eye that sent a shiver up her spine, he whispered in her ear.
"Funny how it takes a potion to get any truth out of a gryffindor! Though I fail to see how I would regret anything, I am not the one making a complete fool out of myself!"

She turned her head and met his lips, she placed her hand on his cheek and pulled him in closer to her so she could press her entire body over him, she licked his lips slowly savouring the heat, he did not move and he did not resist her either, he simply stood there with one hand against the door, his face becoming flushed, she moved her hand and stroked his neck and started kissing along his jaw line down his neck she reached the top button of his robe and undid it,
Snape caught her wrist and held it tightly

"If you are finished Miss Granger I suggest you leave at once, be here at 8 tomorrow and we will brew the potion, until then please keep your hands to yourself"

With that he twirled her round by the wrist and she was standing in the hallway, she heard the door slam and her heart sink to the floor.

Snape leaned against the door, it took him a good few minutes to compose himself "almost lost it there" he muttered to himself, he opened up a secret passageway behind his desk and went to his quarters for a cold shower.

Hermione slowly made her way to gryffindor tower and got into bed. Tomorrow was the start of the weekend, at least she did not have lessons to endure tomorrow, and finally she could get rid of this dam curse.

Please review, it takes 2 seconds of your time and means allot to me.
Thanks Tara
