Chapter Five


What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't thinking! But what does that mean? What am I going to do tomorrow? I can't face her!

------------------------------------------------------------

Carmen entered Andrea's room two hours later. Andrea sat cross-legged on her bed. She had sat there in that exact spot since she got out of the shower.

"You left early!" Carmen whined.

"He kissed me" Andrea whispered disbelievingly.

"Who?"

"Snape."

"SNAPE? He kissed you?" Carmen said.

"Y--Yes."

"Did you like it?" Carmen asked mischievously.

--------------------------------------------------------

Carmen sat down next to Snape the next morning at breakfast. He thought they had planned it, but Andrea wished she hadn't. She wanted to talk to Snape.

Classes went on and lunch came. Andrea had warned Carmen to move to her usual seat. So she approached the staff table. Snape avoided her gaze. She sat down next to him and ate…silently. She wasn't going to make the first move. He had proved himself capable of that anyway.

"Can we talk?" he muttered out of the side of his mouth so only she could hear.

"My classroom…" she whispered and left.

Snape got up shortly after. He didn't want to look too suspicious. He felt his heart pounding in his throat as he neared Andrea's classroom door. He knocked before entering. Andrea was seated on the desk, she indicated the chair in front of her. Snape sat.

"I don't know what I was thinking" he muttered.

"I don't care what you were thinking then, I want to know what you're thinking now"

"What?"

"Do you regret kissing me?" Andrea asked.

"I--"

"because I don't" she mumbled, color rising in her cheeks.

"You don't?" he got p and moved towards her.

"No." she whispered, Snape put his hands on either side of her on the desk.

"Are you sure?"

"Would you jut kiss me already?" she muttered.

Snape did just that. They kissed until they heard footsteps approaching. He pulled away quickly and made to leave.

"Where to?"

"I'm going to thank Dumbledore." he said.
