The two professors had waited till the last of the students had left for Hogsmeade. Now normally Severus would not show his affections, but the calm of the walk to Hogsmeade broke down his guard. It really didn't help that he was alone with Sinistra. They walked the whole way hand in hand.
"I honestly thought that the witch was going to hex us," Sinsitra said still giggling from the earlier incident.
"She wouldn't dare hex me...maybe you, but not me." Snape responded with a smug smirk.
"Oh and why not?" she challenged.
"She never liked you," he said lazily.
"Oh and I suppose that she likes you? Or maybe your kiss awoke feelings in her that she thought had died." Sinistra remarked smiling up at her companion. Her innocent smile threw him off guard. He grunted at her certainly not expecting her next comments. "You know she's wouldn't be the only one to claim you if I didn't want you anymore."
"Oh really," he said raising one eyebrow.
"Yup, you are one good-looking piece of man flesh." She states with a serious expression on her face, "lets see what did Hooch say… that's right. If she were single she'd fight me for you. And Vector said that if she were younger and single she'd jump you one of these mornings. Apparently you look good in the mornings. Now Sprout…"
"STOP," Snape snapped placing his free hand over her mouth. Sinistra reached up and wrenched Severus' hand off her mouth. Once the cold hand was removed she stuck her tongue out at the potions master.
'Make me," she dared, "now back to what Sprout said…"
"What! Woman do you want me to have nightmares?" He sneered, but it had no effect in her. When she opened her mouth to speak Severus, always the quick thinker he leaned over and kissed her softly. When he removed his lips she smiled up at him.
"In public Severus?" she teased. Before they knew it they were in Hogsmeade. Actually to be more specific they were right in front of Zonko's joke shop. "Severus, Albus just said we couldn't get drunk at the next dance, right?" Snape nodded at her remark. "Well that doesn't mean we can't have other forms of fun?"
"What are you thinking?" he asked eyeing her carefully.
"Zonko's," she simply said nodding towards the store.
"Brilliant…bloody brilliant." Snape held the door open for her. All the while shaking his head.
"We don't have to buy anything here Sinistra; we could make something similar."
"I know Snape. Ideas, here we can get ideas. After all with you being one of the best," he snorted, "or possibly the best potion brewer in England and me being just an all around talented witch." Snape snorts yet again. "You know Severus, if you keep making remarks like that I'm going to think you don't love me anymore." She said pouting slightly.
"In order for that to happen my dear, I would have had to love you in the first place."
"You know I'm the only reason you're getting any…" He gives her a sideways glance as she smirks and then continues, "without having to pay for it. I'd think that you would have more respect for me."
The two of them continue their walk around the joke shop not noticing the two sets of eyes on them. However Severus Snape is not daft and he noticed the Weasley twins on his way out. He softly strode behind them. He placed one pale hand on each of their shoulders.
"You boys aren't planning in using those in my classroom are you?" He said his voice dangerously low.
"No, professor," Both boys gulp and say in unison. Severus walked out of the store and met up with Professor Sinistra outside of the Zonkos.
"I have to go to the apothecary."
"I have to go to Dervish and Banges to order some lenses. I'll meet you at the three broomsticks in twenty minutes."
Snape nods in agreement. Sinistra stood on her tiptoes and gave Snape a peck on the lips. She ignored his glare and she sauntered off glancing behind her to give Snape a cheeky grin. Now Fred and George had witnessed the whole thing, they then went back to buying dungbombs and such. Had they decided to follow one Professor Snape they would have witnessed a truly strange occurrence. Severus Snape went in to Honeydukes to buy Professor Sinistra a chocolate frog. Well they missed this event but did manage to make it to the three broomsticks.
Snape arrived at the three broomsticks first he chose to sit in a corner booth. Sinistra arrived a few minutes later.
"Hey," she said sitting down across from him. Pointing at the package on the table, "What's that?"
"For you." He said handing her the package. She opened it and reveled the chocolate frog.
"Aww you're so sweet," she said with a shy grin. Then she pulled the card out; looked at the card and back up at Severus, "Slytherin."
The two of them talked about their plans for another ball. They sat back and came up with ideas that even the Weasley boys wouldn't dare to do…but then again the Weasley twins weren't Hogwart's professors.
So when they were finished they paid their bill and left. Most of the students had already left so the path was disserted. Sinistra swooped down and she made a snowball, but couldn't hide it from Severus.
"What's that?" he sneered.
"It's a snowball, Snape." Came the sarcastic response, Severus tried to ignore the mischievous glint in her eye.
"You will not throw that,"
"Oh really," and with that she tossed the snowball at him. She hit him smack dab in the stomach. He then retaliated by tossing one at her, she ducked and the snow sailed over her head hitting a tree. She then snuck another snowball in to the fight. Barely missing his head. He decided he had enough and was going to get her his own way. He suddenly appeared behind her with a clump of snow in his hands, which he preceded to stuff down the back of her robes. She turns on him and suddenly she tackled him to the ground. Giggling she straddled him, pinning him to the ground. She picked up the fluffy snow and held it above his face. He scowled at her causing her to lean down and kiss the tip of his crooked nose. She then dropped the snow on this face. He then turned suddenly on her. Now Snape was on top, he smirked at her and slowly he got off of her. He extended one cold hand when he was standing. She took the hand he offered and stood up.
The two of them walked back to Hogwarts quickly and made their way up to the astronomy tower to sit by the warm fire.
