Thanks for the reviews, though there were only 4 (am I really that bad??) haha, but thank you! Much appreciated! . anyhoo, a couple people asked if this was Raie/Snape or Hermione/Snape . it's both, basically, because there's a twist with Hermione and Snape near the end chapters, so I just wanted to clear that up with everyone.

Heeeheeeee . anyway, I'm so pathetic that I'm on my 4th chapter on like, the second day of writing. Joking, but yes . I don't have much introductory, because . I'm getting dred locks!! Later today at JCPennys (They love your style) [is this false advertising? Whoops!] So I'll just walk in the mall as everyone looks at me and says "Why does that white chick have dreds?" haha, racist pigs!

Anyway .

Chapter 4

Ignorance of Thy

* * * *

Three weeks of school had passed since the incident Raie had had with Snape, but within those weeks, nothing had erupted between the two. Everyone else around her was matching up. Ron and Hermione were always holding hands in the hallway, and snogging before bed. Ginny and Neville, surprisingly enough, were always snuggling. Draco and Pansy had sort of started going out together, though it seemed that it was all Pansy's doing, for Draco never looked too amused. Vera and Harry were going to end up liking each other, for they sat for hours talking.

Raie had pushed the thought that there was no one her from her mind, only to have it return everyday there were people together.

However, she did not know what the following week had in store for her.

"No . more . homework ." Raie sighed tiredly, slamming her quill down on her parchment, and sliding back from the table.

"Really, I have never had such a hand cramp in my life!" complained Harry, pushing his glasses up on his nose.

"Well, I think it is quite refreshing to finally have worthwhile homework that--" Hermione began, but Raie raised her hand to shush her.

"Not now, Hermione, don't start,"

"I didn't start anything, I was being perfectly honest," Hermione retaliated angrily.

"Whatever," Raie snubbed, standing up and cracking her knuckles.

"Hey, uh - Vera, want to go for a walk, loosen up or something?" Harry asked nervously, clasping his hands together.

"Sure," Vera blushed, and the pair excited the common room.

"Harry sure has problems with girls, doesn't he?" Raie said, leaning back in the chair, and putting her feet on the desk.

"That's putting it easily, his hormones run a little . shy of the weather," Ron said, as Hermione giggled.

"Though you shouldn't poke fun at him, Ron, really. Remember Fleur? The Veela? In your words 'Ah-erm-ball-dance-me?'" Hermione said, smiling.

"Ah Veela, eh Ron? They're so over-rated, really. Stupid as rocks." Raie said, running her fingers through her hair.

"Nah," Ron said, getting up and walking to his dorms.

Raie didn't exactly want to sit with Hermione in the next couple minutes, so she quick made an excuse to go find some treats in the kitchen. Though delayed by Hermione's scolding, she quickly dashed off, and down the hall.

Though having no real intentions to going to the Kitchen, she changed paths and headed downwards, seeing who or what she could run into.

She quickly picked up her pace as she heard prefects bustling on the opposite side of the hall.

She had a sudden urge to go down and see Snape, but he had made her so angry the last time she had talked to him privately. She decided, though against her conscious, and her gut, to go down and just see what her confused mind was trying to tell her.

Walking quickly, skipping her steps every once in awhile, felt her face start to brighten up at the thought of seeing Snape again. She saw the dungeon door, and sprinted to it, stopping to place her ear next to it.

She knocked, hearing Snape yell loudly "WHAT!!!?" Raie, turned her head down to suppress a giggle, knowing that this was after hours, and he probably didn't expect to see a student.

Raie slowly pushed open the door, peaking her head in and meeting Snape's eyes.

"Miss. Black," He said nervously, standing up to greet her.

"Ah, hello darling," said an unfamiliar witch, who waved vaguely and returned to what obviously looked like a martini.

Raie studied the witch closely. Long, flowing black, similar to Raie's, only much longer. She must have been tall, at least a good 6 feet or more, skinny and slim, with curves even visible in sitting position. She had heavy red lip gloss on her lips, which had left marks on her martini glass. Her eyes were a shocking ice blue, which looked odd with her dark, tanned complexion. Raie looked at her pale arms, and pushed down her sleeves.

"Was there something you needed?" He said, looking cautiously at Raie, who felt her feelings in her throat.

"Ummm," Raie stutted, pushing her hair out of her face and glancing at the witch, who was studying her long, dark green painted nails.

"Have a seat, Sisible will only be a little longer," He said, gesturing to a chair.

Raie swallowed loudly, and started slowly for the chair.

The woman stirred at her name, and saw Raie walking towards her direction.

She stood up, as Raie walked by. Raie turned her head up towards the woman who towered many inches over her.

"Sisible Snape," She said, forcefully grabbing Raie's hand which hung limbly at her side.

"Ra-Raie Black," She said, her hand shaking furiously as Sisble held it.

"Ah! Severus darling, is this Victoria's girl?" Sisble said giddishly, turning towards Snape with a broad grin on her face.

Snape nodded, an annoyed look surfacing his face, as if he wished to leave this subject.

"She's ." She paused to correct herself, turning to Raie, "You're a beautiful woman, just like your mother,"

Raie blushed furiously, looking at Snape who gave her a convincing look.

"Oh how I remember Vic! What a marvelous girl she was, wasn't she Severus, honey?" She said, slurring the word 'Severus' with ease.

What was this? Was Snape not a bachelor as Raie had so hopped with her whole entire heart. Was he a married man? With mountains of children who were as unbearable as him at times? Her heart sank endlessly.

"Yes," He grunted.

"Oh, damn, well, look at the time," She said, not even looking at the obnoxious looking watch on her wrist, "I must be off love,"

She walked up to Snape, and kissed him on the cheek and hugged him. He, did not return either of them.

She turned away and walked towards the door.

"Nice to meet you Raie, be happy you don't have a bastard brother like Severus here," She said, and winked as she exited the classroom.

Raie made a shocked face, and returned her look to Severus.

"Your s-s-sister?" Raie said, stuttering wildly.

"Of course, Miss. Black, what did you think she was?" He said, taking a seat again.

With a flick of his wand, the martini glass disappeared. Apparent to Raie, Snape must not have been drinking.

"I-I-I really . don't know," She said, rubbing her hands together, staring at where the glass had disappeared.

"Don't mind her, she's got a tongue like a - well, she got involved with a Muggle, and now she's what they call 'alcholics,' but, what can I say? She just comes round and there's not much I can do," He said, clearing off his desk and replacing the mess with homework to be corrected.

Raie nodded, seeing she had no remark to replace that with.

"So, was there something you needed? I usually don't have encounters with students after hours, unless they have to sit a spell for detention, like Longbottom, who isn't here yet," He grunted angrily.

"I guess, I can just go," Raie said sourly, a little disappointed that this meeting was pointless and she was to get no where.

"Well, if you don't have any homework to complete you can help me grade some of the pathetic first year quizzes, I could use the help - not to mention the company," He said, and with a wave of his wand a comfortable chair appeared opposite of his.

"I - well, I suppose a I could stay for a little bit," Raie said, wanting to stay forever.

"That will work, and I suppose you could get some extra credit as well," He said, not looking up from a paper, "But don't think this will always happen if you randomly decide to come down and meet with me,"

Raie grinned and rolled her lips together, realizing they were chapped. She shrugged and took the seat opposite of Snape.

She reached for a paper, and sighed loudly.

'Carmen Flooura,' Raie read to herself. She snapped her fingers and suddenly a quill dipped freshly with red ink appeared.

Snape looked up astonished, his eyes slightly widened. He blinked.

"Where - how, how did you do that?"

"Do . what?" Raie said, obliviously.

"The quill, the ink, where did you get it?" He said, looking from Raie to the quill.

"I don't know," Raie shrugged innocently, still confused.

"I mean, you pulled it out of no where, no one I know can do that except, well Professor Dumbledore, Merlin himself and You-know-who," Snape said, astonished.

"Come on, I'm not the only student here that can do that, be real," Raie said, laughing nervously at the comparison he had used.

"No," He answered firmly, and returned to his papers.

"Sure," Raie said, an unsure tone shaking in her voice.

There was about 20 minutes of silence, as both worked diligently on correcting homework, Raie using the quill and Snape glancing up every once in awhile.

"Is that bad?" She said out of no where, looking up at Snape who was still writing.

"Is what bad?"

"What I did, with the quill, you know?"

"I'm not sure if I'm the one you should be asking, I just know that it's not . normal, especially of a sixteen year old,"

"Fourteen," Raie corrected off habit.

"Really?" Snape said, sounding actually surprised.

". yes," She said, raising an eyebrow unnoticeably.

He looked down suddenly at his paper, "I would have never guessed,"

Raie shrugged and looked around casually about the room.

A quiet rattling sound started, and Raie looked up nervously and met Snape's staring eyes which had been looking at her intensly.

"What's that?" She said, looking at him.

"Longbottom, the door is a push, but he always pulls," Snape said, smiling as Raie returned it.

The door finally burst open and in puffed Neville, who's face was flushed and he had lipstick marks around his mouth.

Raie burst out laughing, covering her mouth as Snape stood up angrily.

"Longbottom you imbecile!!! Do you have any idea in God's name how late you are!" he growled, narrowing his eyes at him.

"I-I -lost track of time?" he lied, and Raie laughed harder, putting her head on the desk to muffle her laughter.

"45 minutes! Mr. Longbottom, if you are ever this later for another detention I will have you permanently removed from my class and this school!" Snape continued, sneering as spit flew from the corners of his mouth.

Raie, trying desperately to surpress her giggles, slipped off the side of the chair and fell to the floor with a thud, which was continued with more laughter.

"Mr. Longbottom, I don't have enough time for you shenanigans. Tomorrow you will be de-poned from school classes, and you will have to find your own way to retrieve your lessons. Consider it probation. Now get back to your dorms and inform Professor McGonagall . NOW!" Snape said, stepping over Raie and rearing at Neville.

He nodded, shaking and pale, and fled from the dungeons.

Snape turned back to Raie.

"What is your problem?" He said, stretching out a hand to help pull her up.

She reached up her own, and he took her hand in his and pulled her up.

Once up, she thought he would recklessly let go of her clammy hand and return to his desk, but he squeezed her hand flirtaciously and let go, looking down at his feet.

"Didn't you see his lips?" Raie said, hoping that reference to making out would get her her own snogging session with this master.

"I wasn't really paying attention to his lips, miss," Snape said, flustering, admitting to himself that he had only been staring at Raie's.

"He had been--" Raie paused to sigh deeply, "Most obviously, up in Astronomy Tower . you know, kissing with a girl,"

"How did you get that?" He said, only envisioning himself with Raie in the Astronomy Tower, in which any sane person at Hogwarts knew, was where the make out and making love took place.

"His lips! Plastered with bright pink lipstick. Copyright of Ginny Weasley," Raie said, suppressing a smile that was about to escape her own lips.

"Were they?" He said, straightening himself out.

"Yes, sir."

"And why were you paying so much attention to his lips? You do know that the teachers do keep close watch on relationships here, they have, surprisingly enough, been plenty of pregnancies here."

"That's nice," Raie said, envisioning the thought of Neville and Ginny making sweet, passionate love to each other on the stone surface of the Tower. "But they were abnormally bright,"

"I suppose," Snape said, wanting desperately to lean forward and scoop Raie's delicate, innocent body in his arms and into his living quarters, only to make love with a 'woman' labeled as gorgeous.

"Sir!" Raie said suddenly, lurching forward at him with her own surprise.

They, at the time, were close enough to have leaned in on each other and kiss, but Raie only scooted backwards and asked politely for the time.

"9:30 I believe," He said, not looking at a watch and keeping Raie's gaze.

She nodded, and felt herself pathetically look down to Snape's pants. 'What a fool am I!' she thought to herself, but she let the grin in her inside, escape from her lips.

"Would you walk me back to my Common Room? I don't want to get in trouble for being out after hours," Raie said, smiling sweetly.

Snape looked at Raie with a surprisingly shocked face.

"Can't you walk there yourself?" He said, selfishly, though a playful smile flitted across his handsome face.

"More like, hasn't a student ever asked you to walk them to their common room?" Raie said, looking down at his chest, which from his breathing, was rising quickly.

"Not a female student," he said, still staring at Raie with deep passion and want.

"Then shouldn't the teacher take a hint?"

Raie stepped backwards, only to have Snape lust forward at her. She put her hands on his shoulders to brace him back.

"Not so fast--" she said, looking at Snape's eyes that were dangerously gorgeous, and filled with passion.

She sat herself up on the desk, only to have them interrupted by a serious knock on the door.

They both turned nervously to the door, his hand slightly up her skirt, whilest her own arm was wrapped passionately around his neck.
