Ok disclaimers don't own any on the characters if I did id own Snape lol.




Snape stood in the shower, the water was not helping, and rather it was giving him a headache, he decided to get out before he smashed the shower to pieces in his frustration.
*God how long had it been * he thought, he never imagined a student could feel- no wrong word, LUST after him like she was, she shouldn't act like that potion induced or not.

He got out of the shower and slipped on some water "oh £$%^* " he got up slowly and scowled, no damage done thankfully, his thoughts returned to that curly haired menace..........
She had no idea what she was getting herself into, he walked to the bathroom mirror, he looked in the mirror and stared at his reflection, cold eyes thin lips, frown lines and long greasy hair, what could she possibly see in him?

He waved his hand over his face"acamorta" the face in the mirror shimmered and was replaced by one of a man presumably in his late 20's with less greasy hair, more fluffy, less lines frown lines and a straight nose, but with a familiar sneer,
His eyes remained the same cold dark lonely.
He was in what one would term, quite striking but not overly so; he remembered the conversation with Dumbledore when he first started teaching,

"Professor Snape, as you are well aware we do not usually employ such young Professors but your credentials are excellent, but I must point out it would raise a few eyebrows from the students, *there was a twinkle in his eye* and more so with the female students I dare say"

Snape snorted "im hardly popular with the ladies so I doubt that Albus!"Albus merely smiled, "all the same it might cause you less hassle" Snape decided then and there it would be better to just change his appearance and age, not because he feared the students, but to please Albus, "all right" he sighed.

He was not vain man so he did not really care anyway, not like that Prat lockhart who was a stupid Hufflepuff, always being fawned over by the twits in his class,
He had no doubt his charming manner would have prevented any crushes from the students, with or without the changes to his appearance anyway.

He shaved and wrapped his robe round is night time wear of a loose black shirt and matching bottoms. And sat by the fire in a soft leather chair brooding over his latest aggravation to his seemingly never ending complex life, not only did Harry have it in for him not that it was a surprise, every student had it in for him, but now Hermione, though he grinned, I do prefer Hermione's distractions to Harry's!
He quickly scolded his mind for going down that path.

***********
Hermione was also facing the same problem, not only was she totally embarrassed and frustrated, she had walked into the common room to find Harry and Ron waiting for her.
They were presumably in the middle of a chess match but stopped when she came in.

"Hi Herm" Harry said, Ron looked at her with daggers!
"So out with your new Ravenclaw boyfriend?" Ron said testily, It was at that moment she realised how immature guys, no boys were her own age.
"No I was not actually so there! I don't have a boyfriend Ron so shut up"
Ron stood up and Harry tried to give him a warning glance, but he ignored it,

"Well something up Hermione your acting all weird."
There was silence for a min or s; he said it softly "are you ok?"
Hermione smiled and gave him a quick hug,
"Yea im fine must be that time of the month or something"
Ron's face went red at that but he nodded, after a few rounds of chess Hermione said her goodnights and went to bed.

Hermione tossed and turned but could not sleep, she really needed to get some sleep, but what was she going to do till 8pm tomorrow? How many more incidents was she going to cause?
There was only one place that she could go when she was restless,
When she needed answers,
When she needed peace...The library

She walked slowly to the library, she hadn't even bothered to put anything on her feet, and she took her candle and held it close, she opened the doors to the library and closed them behind her.
She traced her finger along the books till one caught her eye; she sat down to read it. She was glad the library was deserted, it was eerie but she liked it.

Halfway into her book she thought she heard the doors opening but she was still to absorbed into her book to notice,
A hand grabbed her shoulder and she spun round it was Mr Filch with his cat beside him,

"Up on a midnight strolls are we?"
Hermione looked shocked "midnight already? Mmmm no jus couldn't sleep and arm well I jus wanted to erm read and lost track to time-"
"Really? We will see what Professor Snape has to say about this !" He smiled a horrid foul smile that made her feel sick.
"C-could we see Mcgonagall instead perhaps?"
"The dungeons are closer, and he likes to deal with trespassers himself!" *More like deals out harsher punishments*she thought
With that he grabbed her arm and marched her the short walk to the Dungeons, her feet were freezing and she pulled her nightgown and robe tighter round her, it was extremely down here, then before she knew it the wooden door loomed over her.

There was a loud knock at his door Snape was not amused, he quickly tied his robe around him and waved his hand over his face "Crenda" he opened the door and there stood Mr Filch with his stupid cat at his feet, Filch started speaking in a rather exited tone.
"Professor Snape look who I caught sneaking round the Library a rude, never listening to the rules, pompous Gryffindor!"
He pulled Hermione into Snapes line of sight, holding her like a prize, Snapes voice was cool and even, he turned to look at Hermione.

"What were you sneaking round the library for Miss Granger?"
Hermione was surprised by the soft tone in his voice, almost silky?
Not as surprised as filch.
"What da u want to me to do with her?" Filch said grumpily all excitement gone now from his voice now,
Snape looked at filch and the edge returned to his voice
"Ill handle it from here Mr filch, you have done a great job as usual,"
At this Filch's chest puffed out,

"Miss granger please accompany me inside I must"
He looked at Filch then at Hermione "Discuss your severe punishment. "Filch walked away with a smug look on his face, like a cat that got the cream.
Hermione now worried more than ever, stepped past Snape and into his quarters, she couldn't help inhaling his woody pine sent that sent a shiver up her spine. Snape turned round and closed the door behind her.
