"What do you mean?" Hermione asked, nervously.

"Well, you are a Gryffindor. Aren't you supposed to be brave?" Snape said.

"I...I suppose so..." Hermione didn't like where this conversation was going.

Snape suddenly took out his wand. "Accio clothes!" All of Hermione's clothes came right off of her and landed in Snape's arms neatly. Hermione stood there, in her underwear, too shocked to speak.

"Professor Snape, why are you doing this?" Hermione finally asked. "This isn't going to help at all."

Snape smirked. "There's a stack of papers on my desk. Grade them, and I will observe you."

"So, basically, you want me to sit there in my underwear and grade papers for you while you watch me?" said Hermione.

"Basically." Snape grinned.

Hermione sighed, walked to his desk, and sat down. There was a big stack of papers and an answer key on his desk. Hermione knew that Snape always gave the Slytherins what they wanted...which was an A, so she decided to give them what they deserved. Snape did ask her to grade the papers!

The first papers were of the Ravenclaws, and that wasn't hard because most of them got all the answers correct. Next were the Hufflepuff's. Most of them were smart, but others just got average grades. Next came the Gryffindors, and Hermione graded them with a smile because she knew most of them were very smart, with the exception of some. And last, Slytherin. She grinned as she first pulled out Pansy Parkinson. Too bad she wasn't stupid. Pansy may have seemed like a dumb witch, but actually wasn't, to Hermione's surprise. Next came Crabbe and Goyle. Well, let's just say Hermione had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing at their grades. She had gotten to the last paper, which was Draco Malfoy's. He did exceptionally well and Hermione started thinking about him telling Dumbledore.

'What if Dumbledore doesn't believe him? Or worse, what if he asked Snape? Snape could just deny it all. Of course Dumbledore would believe it. Then again, if he asked me, then I could tell him the truth. But if Snape found out, then I would be dead! Oh, I'm so screwed...'

Snape was watching Hermione the whole time she was thinking this.

Hermione snapped back to reality and saw in the corner of her eye, Snape watching her. She tried to make herself as unattractive as possible. She stuck her stomach out so that it looked like she had a huge belly, then she put on the stupidest expression on her face and made her feet turn in. Apparently it wasn't working because Snape was still watching her. Oh well, she sucked her stomach back in and took the expression off her face.

"Professor Snape, I'm done." she said, stacking up the papers and putting them in a nice, neat pile. She looked over at him and he got up and took the papers from her. He looked through them all and when he got to the Slytherins, he sighed.

"I see the Slytherins are slacking off. Either that, or you gave them wrong grades." Snape said, looking at the horrible marks on the papers.

"I didn't give them wrong grades, unless your answer key is wrong." Hermione shot back. Snape looked at her, raised an eyebrow and put the papers back on the desk. He leaned toward Hermione and put his face inches from hers.

"Remember who your master is, Hermione." Snape snarled. Hermione became enraged and glared at him. He backed away and suddenly took his robe off. Hermione caught herself staring and looked away. Snape grinned to himself. "It's hot in here isn't it?"

"No." said Hermione, looking back and glaring at him. "Actually, I'm quite cold. Wonder why that is?"

Snape glared right back at her. "Stand up." Hermione reluctantly rose from her chair, looking him straight in the eye with every move. Snape walked around the desk to a seat and pulled out a chair. "Sit." Hermione didn't know what he was doing, but it seemed harmless so she just decided to follow along. She walked right in front of Snape, and in the gap between him and the desk, then sat down. Snape pushed the chair in after her and walked in front of the desk.

"I see your attitude has changed."

"Isn't that what you wanted? For me not to be afraid of you?" asked Hermione.

Snape stood tall in front of her, glaring down at her. She looked right back up at him and grinned. She knew she had hit a nerve and she liked it. She had expected him to blow up or even send her back, but he didn't. Instead, he stood behind her and started to massage her shoulders. Hermione didn't know what he was doing, and she didn't like it. Well, maybe a little. She did become more relaxed.

"That's better..." Snape said. "Calm down...relax..." Hermione slowly but surely began to feel the feeling again. She groaned, not wanting it to come, but when it did, she welcomed it. Hermione slumped over and felt Snape's hands stop on her shoulders and hold them firmly. Snape leaned over and put his face next to Hermione's and whispered, "Say my name, Hermione."

Hermione rolled her head over, "Severus..." Hermione looked at his hands. Snape's fingers were so long and thin. Pretty, even.

Snape grinned, and let go of her shoulders. Hermione leaned back, trying to get rid of this feeling. She had had it two times before and couldn't figure out how to stop it! She blinked and that helped a little, so she blinked over and over and over. Snape was watching her do this, confused, but entertained. "Ms. Granger, can I ask what you're doing?"

"I-ugh-have allergies..." Hermione said, realizing Snape was watching her. The feeling was still there, but she ignored it.

"In your eye?" Hermione nodded. Snape raised his eyebrows, sighed and looked at his watch. "Put your clothes on and go back to your Common Room. It's almost curfew."

Hermione stood up, stumbled a little and threw her clothes on. She started to walk out, but then she turned around to face Snape. "Bye...Severus." She smiled at him then left. Snape didn't do anything but watch her with interest.

On the way out, Draco saw her and headed toward her. "Hermione!" Hermione turned around to see him.

"Hey Draco."

Draco saw the somewhat exhausted expression on her face. "Did anything...happen in there?"

"Not really. He made me grade papers in my underwear. Oh by the way, you got an A." Hermione said, walking toward the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Hermione, I'm going to talk to Dumbledore tomorrow." Draco said. Hermione stopped. "I was going to talk to him tonight, but he had a meeting." Hermione turned around and nodded. She walked back to the common room. Draco sighed and walked toward his own Common Room.
