Chapter 2

My legs gave way as I closed the door, I had managed to appear cool and undisturbed around him, but as soon as I was sure he could not see me, my legs gave way. My once silent breath now rasped out of my throat, so loud it had it's own echo in the silent stone dungeon corridors. That was intense! It was just too much to take in, he had wanted me, I had wanted him, but he was a professor. MY professor! Students just don't go around kissing their professors, or anyone else for that matter. What would happen if anyone found out? He would lose his job, I would be expelled, not to mention that neither one of us would be able to show our face in public again! No. I have to find someone else. What would my parents think if they found out that I had just had the most earth shattering kiss of my life with my potions professor, I think it would probably break them.

With that thought I picked my resolve and myself up off the floor and made my way carefully back to the Gryffindor Common room. My sweet, kind parents on my mind as I stepped through the portrait hole. It was still early, dinner would probably be in about be in about half an hour, so I wasn't surprised to find the common room full and very loud. It was Friday, meaning the only homework that would be done that night was by Hermione in the library. I was surprised however to find a tall, muscular and rather sweaty dark haired young man, clad in beige coloured Quidditch pants and a deep maroon sweatshirt blocking my entrance. He turned around, his emerald eyes shinning brightly from behind his glasses. My best friend's beautiful mouth spread into a wide smile as he scooped me up into his arms.

"Hello my little Beth. How are you on this lovely day?" "Fine thanx Harry. Ah! Put me down! What's put you in such a good mood?" "Ah fair lady, 'tis Friday, I've got no homework all weekend and a fantastic Quidditch game against Slytherin tomorrow, and now I have the pleasure of your company. Oh how wonderful life is right now." I smiled at my friend, it was nice to see him so happy, he rarely had a reason to smile these days. I glanced around the crowded common room, "Where's Ron and Hermione?" "Probably making out in the library or something." He smiled mischievously, "You know them, they played coy for five years and now they can't keep their hands off each other!" "Harry!" I laughed at him. Over the four years that I had known my three best friends I had come to know them as well as I knew myself and I know Harry was right about where they would be, and probably about what they were doing.

I had been very shy when I had first come to Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and Wizardry during our fourth year {AN: I know she wasn't in the fourth or fifth book, but this is my story and if you don't like it you can shove it up your ass! :) only joking! } And we all became immediate friends. Hermione and I were in all the same classes and we hit it off right away because we discovered that we were both studying at the same advanced level in class and then she introduced me to Ron and Harry. We spent a lot of time at each others house over the Summer holidays and it felt like we had been friends forever. My parents got along very well with Ron and Hermione's folks, but their friendship got even better when daddy took up his new position as head of St. Mungo's and when mummy took her new position as head of the Daily Prophet and fired that awful Rita Skeeter. It was really lucky that mummy and daddy were both able to transfer from their old head positions in Australia and pick up the same position here in England. Daddy and Mr. Weasly work closely together and mummy and Mrs. Weasly have become best friends. Daddy's medical experience caught the attention of Hermione's parents, giving them a rough topic to use in conversation to begin with, buteven more when they discovered he was trained as a muggle doctor as well as a medi - wizard.

"Come on Beth!" Harry interrupted my thoughts, "Let's go down to dinner early and play exploding snap while we wait." I smiled at him and took his offered hand, "Won't you ever grow up Harry Potter? You're almost 18 and all you want to do is play exploding snap!" I teased as we sat down at Gryffindor table. "Well." Harry purred, leaning forward with an evil glint in his eye. "I can think of something better." he whispered huskily as he brushed his lips across my ear lobe.

"Oh stop being silly!" I laughed, pushing my friend away. He placed a light kiss on my lips and laughed while he dealt the cards. I had my back to the teachers' table, but I still felt the eerie prickly sensation that someone was watching me. I turned and felt my heart stop beating as I saw Professor Snape sitting next to Dumbledore, his eyes locked Harry and his usual blank, unreadable expression was replaced with one that was filled with rage and hate, his eyes were sending daggers at him. He must have sensed me looking at him because I saw him tear his eyes away from Harry and meet my gaze. His expression changed from hate to hurt. I felt my own heart ache for him at the sadness on his face. I opened my mouth to say something to him, to assure him that there was nothing going on between Harry and me, forgetting that we were not alone, but in the hall that was quickly filling up with students. He narrowed his eyes at me and stood up abruptly, bending down to say something to professor Dumbledore. I watched as the Headmaster said something to him with a concerned look on his face. Severus replied and Dumbledore nodded. Then, without so much as another glance in my direction he turned with a swish of his black cloak and was out of the hall through the teachers' side door.

It took all of my will to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over as my gaze fell on the closed door at the side of the room. Luckily just as I was about to break down and cry Harry nudged me on the shoulder and pointed towards the entrance of the great hall. I turned and put on a smile to watch my other best friends walk into the hall, holding hands. I waved to them, at the same time resolving to be cheerful for their sake, whilst inside my heart was breaking, much to my confusion.

Well there it is, the second chapter. I hope you like it, I don't know about it. Sorry that it took so long to post, but school has kept me pretty busy. Sorry that is if I have any readers! PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE EEEEEEE read and review, it really means a lot. Ok I don't know when I will write the next chapter, hopefully sometime this week, depending on how things are going. Luv n stuff.

PS. I deliberately made Beth very naive when it comes to the attention of others, and that of her own feelings 'coz it makes way for more story. So please don't hate me for making her ignorant! :)
