Chapter 4: The fine art of...bullshitting?

In the darkness of a room we see, as our eyes adjust to the light, a saited pair of lovers lying entwined upon a satin bed, of which the sheets were black. As we get even closer than we are now we see that one has long curling brown and golden spun hair whilst the other has soft black hair. Startled to find out that it is the Potions Master of Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardy along with a pupil of his-it would be concidered scandalous if it hadn't been this 'particular student.'

This student was lying across Snape's chest, her head pillowed on his chest, and her head tucked under his chin in an unconciously possesive gesture. Her legs entangled with her Potions Masters own and her hand resting delicately over his once-thought-not-to-exist heart. Snape had his arms around her and a smile graced his swollen lips. Of course the reason for the swolleness would never be known. Except by himself and Miss Granger.

Severus Snape roused from his peaceful slumber, the bet he had in years, and found himself unable to move. His eyes widened slowly, then shut as he expelled a much needed breath. ~At lassst~ His body had craved Hermione since it had taken notice of her ever-growing woamnly attributes. Two of which were pressed against the side of his chest right now. At the feeling of her soft breast like dove's wings nestled against him, slowly rising with her breath, he found himself growing ever harder. ~It's a wonder I can do that after last night!~ he scolded himself for not placing a silencing spell on the door.

Snape gently, more gentle than he thought he knew possible, moved the sleeping Goddess from his body and covered her in the sheets, she whimpered as the heat was taken away from her. Severus groaned for more than one reason, her whimper had reminded him of last night, her with her head thrown back at the peak of her pleasure, eyes tightly shuttered and muth open on a moan. He flushed and swatted his thigh angrilly, glad when the sting of the impact made his hard-on reside somewhat. He needed to get going! Although it was a Saturday there was also a meeting of which all staff should attend.

The body of Hermione Granger shifted slightly beneath the covers and he watched as she arched lightly then rolled to her side, breathing in the smell of him as she slept on regardless, careless. Snape covered his face with his hands and took a shuddering breath, the hard-on was back full force! It had decided to rear it's head once again after he had seen her breast pressed against the fabric of the sheets, he wondered what she would be like covered in nothing but a sheet in the rain. ~NOT another nose- bleed!~ his mind rebelled and he remembered the meeting. Snape turned and quickly went into the shower, a cold one was beckoning him from the bathroom. and he went to it with vigour.

Crookshanks spent the night on someone's stomache, granted it had not ben his mistress's, whose was soft and dainty. This one was hard as a wash board and rippled. The ginger menace dug his claws in again as the stomache gurgled and interrupted his sleep once more. If he could talk he would have said, 'Bloody humans!' but it was just as well he couldn't, for he would have told his mistress of the two boys that had entered her room in the late hours of the night and disturbed his nap.

***

Severus Snape brushed his teeth vigorously, there was really no need to keep the charm on himself today since the students would be in Hogsmead and the others out exploring or doing other daft things. Well all but ne student, he banged his head gently at the thought, whilst one part of him was saying, 'What have you done?' the other-more virile-side was saying something along the lines of, 'Well done! You still got it Snape you old dog!' the word dog reminded him of Remus and Sirius, both lovers, he shivered and decided to keep this in his, 'Automatic-Douser-Of-Hard-On's' section that resisded within his brain. Along with that thought was Hagrid in a tutu-of the pink variety.

Feeling midly unwell Snape made his way back into the bedroom, the smell of musky sex filled his nose and he sighed shakily, he would love to just crawl back into bed and wait for his Minx to return to the land of the living. He rolled his shoulders to relieve the aching muscles from endless hours of being poised above the writhing woman of his desire, not that he complained that is!

Remebering what he came to do he quickly took a piece of parchment and his raven-feathered quill and wrote a brief but meaningful note to the woman in his bed. He no longer thought of her as a girl, she had proved that. And he propped it against the pillows to her left, the on'es his own head had just vacated not merely 20 minutes ago.

He smiled and reached down to pluck a stray curl from her sweet face, she shifted slightly at the contact and he was about to draw away before she murmered, '...Severus...' his pride swelled, at least there was no delusions about who she had dreamt of and probably was still dreaming of. It was just rather a shock to see thoughts of himself had manifested a smile on her rosey lips.

Leaning down gently Snape pressed his lips to her brow and breathed in her scent before he swiftly retracted his head. He pressed two fingers to his lips and felt a pulse within them, pulsing in rememberance at the thought of her own crushed against his. He sent her sleeping form one of the most beautiful smiles he had within him, one that would melt the snow from the windowsills-well if he had any that is.

Snape glanced once more at Hermione before departing, after quickly assigning a House-elf to bring the current resident in his room breakfast in 15 minutes, he assumed she would be awake by then. It was better waking up to food than a gone lover and a note-it showed that he hadn't forgotten she was there, or rushed to leave and hopefully she have left before he returned. This assured him that she would ben held in his chambers for at least half an hour, he just hoped the meeting was quick so he could return. He warded the door against all except himself and Hermione, he didn't want to trap her-and then after that he finally left. If he had stayed a moment longer he would have heard Hermione's mumbled '...I love you...'

***

The girls dorm was in a bit of a cafuffle-they were all smoothing over thier feathers at the thought of Hermione spending the night with a male! It had gone around in less than 2 minutes of awakeaning, Parvati had heard male snoring as she had gone to wake Hermione up to go to Hogsmeade. She had wondered why she was late-she was always usually up 2 hours before hand and Parvati just couldn't understand why today should be any different, regardless of it being Saturday Hermione was always up with the lark.

Soon the reason had become apparent, after Parvati heard male snoring, followed by another slightly smaller snore she had come to the conclusion that Hermione was tired from her 'Nightly Escapades.' The dorm was in uproar at this-many making jokes about Hermione's Holier-Than-Thou approach to sex and flirting. Now she was the temptress that had snuck a boy into her room! Well not to be outdone Parvati decided to make a plan of action on her own.

Snape went to the Headmasters office quickly, hoping to catch him alone whilst the other Professor's were talking about the meetings events that had now been turfed up. On his arrival he told the gryffin, 'Sherbert- Lemon!' and raced up the stairs quickly, only to her the voice of another. He sighed angrilly and was about to retreat when he heard who it was and what they were discussing-

'I swear to you Sir! I 'eard 'em!' Down in the dungeons-' Filch, his stuttering made sure that whatever he was talking about has disturbed him greatly, oddly enough his cat wasn't waiting outside for him though...strange. As he listened through the door the talking grew dimmer and he could no longer hear satisfactorily, and so he pressed his ear against the door, pushing aside thoughts from his youth and concentrated.

The door flew open and Snape practically ran forwards, hunched over like some neanderthol from the shock to be greeted by a jovial voice,'Ah Severus! Good to see you my dear boy, perhaps you can shed a light on the matter at hand. Argus here claims that he heard a couple of students, obviously male and female by the *sounds* of it down in your dungeons after curfew-'

Snape controlled the blood that wanted to seep into his cheeks and stain them like one's hands get coloured after eating blackberries. 'Impossible Headmaster, I was up all night myself and heard nothing.' ~Ok~ he thought to himself, ~So the first part was true at least!~

Albus Dumbledore's twinkling grew, not to Snape's notice though since he was too busy glancing at the floor, or his shoes in turn. An embaressed silence broke by the clearing of someone's throat.

'Ah mydear boy, of course, never shirking your duties. Very commendable of you-I just hope you will return to your quaters now and rest up from what has obviously been a tiring night for you.'

Snape congratulated himself on keeping his cool as he replied, 'Thankyou Headmaster, I will-but you know what they say 'No rest for the wicked.' So I must be returning to grade some...papers.'

Snape left a confused Filch and a beaming Dumbledore, he smirked to himself as he left the stairs now and walked down the corridor, *he* Severus Snape had managed to aquire Sirius Black's Fine art of...bullshitting!

***

In another part of the vast castle, past the shifting stair-cases and downwards, a figure grumbled and awoke. Brown eyes dazed, trying to adjust to the difference in light, although there were now a few candles hanging magically in the air and the fire was lit they still had to close and re- open so that they could focus.

The knocking came again, clearing their throat they spoke, 'Enterrr' mimicking there first love's all-to-familiar tone. A small elf came through holding a plate larger than itself, 'Um...Mistress, the Master sent this for you.' Hermione was barely able to contain her glee at the Elf's words, 'Mistress' the word suited her, 'Snape's Mistress' ~Well now *Severus's Mistress*~ she corrected mentally.

Hermione felt her heart well with joy, now all she needed to do was eat her breakfast and await her *Master's* return. She chuckled at that aspect and assured the house-elf that she was fine and thanked him. As the elf placed the food on the side-table next to the bed and began to leave he saw the look of happiness cross the Miss's face and his own lit up at that, before he shut the door quietly.
