The rest of the class period went well for the four friends. For once, Snape didn't take a single point from Gryffindor. Hermonie was worried that since Sade had just started the school, that she wouldn't get a good grade, that she should ask Snape if she could do some extra credit.
"Oh come on Hermonie, you know that Snape will never agree with that," Ron said, packing up his things.
"But it's pretty obvious that Snape fancies her, so he'll probably agree with it," Hermonie replied.
"Well, it's lunchtime now, so we'll meet you in the Great Hall, ok?" Harry said to Sade.
"OK. Wish me luck," she said smiling.
"Good Luck!" the three said, walking out of the dungeon.
Sade waited at her seat till everyone else left. The last person out of the room closed the door behind them. It was now or never.
She slowly got up and walked over to Snape's desk. He looked up at her.
"Yes, is there something you wanted?" His voice wasn't the normal way it sounded. It had a hint of uncertainty.
"Well, um, since I just started the school, I was really worried about my grade, and I was wondering if there was some way I could do some extra work to make up for the month that's already passed?" Sade kept her eyes on him the whole time she said this. She shivered at the gathering cold, since all the fires for the cauldrons had been put out.
Snape continued to stare at her for a while. He picked up on her shivering. He stood up, and smiled.
"Normally I don't allow this, but I have noticed that you're very skillful with your work…"
"But so is Hermonie," she said, cutting him off.
"That's true," he replied, walking around the desk, still keeping his eyes on her, "but you don't brag about it as she does, and you were actually able to get something into Neville's thick head, so I will allow you to do extra work. Since you seem not to like the cold very much, your work will be to find a potion to keep the dungeons warm. You will report here every night at 8 o'clock, starting tomorrow. And you will only be allowed to work in here, so that I can keep track of your progress."
As he talked, Sade smiled slowly grew. The idea of being alone with Snape every night was a dream come true!
"Is there something amusing to you, Ms. Riddle?"
"No, nothing. Thank you, Professor."
To Snape's surprise, and to her own, Sade kissed him on his cheek, very closely to his mouth, and began to walk to the door. In a moment's desperation, Snape pulled out his wand and magically locked the door. Sade turned around and looked at him. He slowly walked up to her.
"You don't think I'm going to allow something like that do you?" grabbing her around her waist, pushing her to him, whispering in her ear.
Sade shivered at the feeling of having him so close to her.
"What do you want then?" her voice shaking.
He looked into her eyes for a minute. He brushed her cheek with his hand, and then kissed her passionately. The kiss deepened with each passing minute. When the kiss ended, Sade smiled at him.
"So, what does this mean now?"
"We'll see what it means," he replied huskily.
"Really, we'll see about that. Now, will you unlock the door, please Professor?"
Snape took out his wand again and unlocked the door.
"Call me Severus," he said, kissing her again.
With that, Sade walked out of the classroom, heading for the Great Hall.
