A.N.1) Thanks for the reviews, and I'm so so sorry that I haven't updated in ages, I've been really busy, at home and in school! But finally here's…
Chapter twenty-one.
It had been two weeks since the beginning of term and so two weeks since Sirius had started his game, and all was going according to plan.
Hermione had seemingly forgotten the first incident and was, again, friendly with him, much to his pleasure and Lupin's chagrin.
Remus had assumed that Hermione would have approached Sirius with caution after what he had told her about him, but she was laughing, joking and speaking to him, as normal and outward appearances would have it that she had fallen into his trap.
But…
Hermione being Hermione, girl genius, had spotted his game early on. Seduction was on his menu, but not on hers!
She new what he was doing but at this point in time did not know why, she had kept her promise to Lupin and had not said anything to Severus, if she had she would have known more.
On the surface, Severus Snape was still Severus Snape, mean and 'greasy git' Potions Master, hated by all except the Slytherins and now, on the inside, Hermione.
The two bonded souls spent most evenings together, talking, hugging and kissing till early hours of the morning. Both had agreed to take things slow, not wanting and not needing to rush, but the love and lust was growing everyday.
All of the teachers, excluding Dumbledore, believed that something was amiss, as they had reverted back to a student-teacher relationship, and that with Snape was never good.
Sirius was ecstatic by this turn of events, for even he could still see the love in Snape's eyes when they landed upon Hermione, and so thought that he was succeeding in his game.
Lupin was beside himself with worry for Hermione, but when the issue was brought up with Dumbledore he was forcefully told to leave things as they were, for Dumbledore knew what Hermione was doing and also knew that herself and Severus were having nightly meetings, and was very pleased about her Slytherin cunning. He also had an inkling that Severus was not as blind as he was making himself out to be, for he had eyes, ears and his own brand of mind reading magic.
Dumbledore also knew that all his power was going to be needed in the upcoming battle between friends and enemies, which was about to begin within the halls of Hogwarts.
A.N.2) Hope you liked this chapter, and again, so sorry for the wait. Until next time…
Luv Holly.
P.S. Please review, good or bad, I like to read what you think!
