A/N: o0o0o0o danger!! Yeah, don't ask because I dunno either.

Queen-Ditz: You want it to be Hr/R huh? Hmm well you never know. Even though they like already kissed and stuff but that's okay!

lover411: You find out what they're talking about in this chapter! Hope you like it!

Infinity: Wait, so you want him hott, nude, and...dead? I'm confused. But whatever! It happens all the time so it's all good. But, yeah I'll try to put some Snape action in there for you!

AJ: Sorry if Snape is a little out of character for you. I'll try out that whole possessed thing though! Cool idea!

"I'm telling you, Albus, Veritaserum will not hurt the students at all. I just want to show them the affects of it." Snape told Dumbledore.

"I do not want them to use Veritaserum, Severus. It is useful at times, but can also be quite embarrassing if used in such a way. Now, Severus, I know you will be testing it on the students, but you don't know what things can hurt them. I'm not allowing it and that's that." Dumbledore said, sternly. He took a sip of pumpkin juice.

Professor Snape sighed, "Then what exactly do you expect me to use for a lesson plan Monday? I had it all laid out and everything." he complained. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Hermione Granger looking at him, shocked. He smiled inside, knowing she was probably interested in the conversation.

"Why don't you have them do something like a love potion? The students loved it the last time you did it with them." Dumbledore suggested.

"But if they've already learned love potions, why must they do them again?" asked Snape.

"Well, why must you always have them under stress? Let them do something they enjoy and know how to do." said Dumbledore, taking another sip from his pumpkin juice. Severus Snape sighed as he knew this conversation was not going to go the way he wanted.

Hermione sat in the library next to Harry and Ron. Well, she was sitting there with them. They left to go practice Quidditch and Hermione must not have noticed their dismissal. 'Oh well...' she thought. Hermione was very into the book she was reading. It was about Godric Gryffindor's life and how he became one of the founders of Hogwarts. She had read this book many times before, but it always seemed to get more interesting each time she read it. Godric Gryffindor was a wonderful wizard in Hermione's eyes. He was brave, talented in magic, and usually knew what he was doing. According to the book, anyway. She was so absorbed in the book, she didn't notice someone sit right next to her.

"Reading that book again, Ms. Granger?" asked Professor McGonnagal.

Hermione nearly flung the book across the library. "Oh my gosh Professor! You scared me! I thought you were- you just scared me!"

"I'm sorry, dear. You usually don't get this agitated when I just sit next to you." Professor McGonnagal said to her.

"It's okay, I'm just tired I guess." she said, flinging her hair back, as if all of the sudden angry with it.

"I wanted to talk to you." the kindly old professor said. (A/N: kindly old professor??) Hermione looked up at her.

"About what, Professor McGonnagal?" Hermione asked, closing her favorite book.

"You. You've been acting very strange lately." Professor McGonnagal said. "Now, Ms. Granger, if you want to talk to me about something, you know my door is always open. Is there something you need to talk about?"

Hermione looked at Professor McGonnagal's kind face. "N-no, Professor. I don't need to talk to you."

Professor McGonnagal sighed. "Hermione, I'm not going to push you to tell me, but I know something is going on with you. You have been very jittery and anxious and spending quite a lot of time with Professor Snape."

Hermione's head jerked up at what the Professor had said, and McGonnagal smiled.

"I've just-just been, uh, grading papers for-with him." Hermione stuttered.

"I think it's nice that Professor Snape is doing this for you-" started Professor McGonnagal.

"Doing what for me?" interrupted Hermione.

"Well, Ms. Granger, Professor Snape knows you have a crush on him, and so he thought you would like it if you helped him grade papers every night." said Professor McGonnagal.

"He told you I like him??" Hermione started to panic.

"Yes, but only Professor Dumbledore and I."

"He told Dumbledore too?!" Hermione sighed and put her face in her hands.

"Ms. Granger, it's alright. We aren't going to tell anyone. I was just going to say if you have a problem, if you don't want to talk to me, you might want to talk to Professor Snape." Professor McGonnagal told her.

"Yeah, right. Like I'm going to do that." Hermione muttered.

"What are you talking about Ms. Granger?" asked McGonnagal.

"Nothing, I just, uh- I just don't think he could help me." Hermione looked at the professor. "That is, if I had a problem. Which I don't."

Professor McGonnagal watched the girl fidget with her bag, while she thought to herself. Just as Hermione stood up, Professor McGonnagal asked her, "Ms. Granger? Has Professor Snape been doing something to you while you were grading papers for him?" Hermione stopped dead in her tracks, but not daring to look at Professor McGonnagal's face. She looked straight ahead, not saying anything. Professor McGonnagal stood up and put a gentle hand on Hermione's shoulder. "Ms. Granger?"

Hermione shook her head. "No, he hasn't. In fact, we've been having a great time! He's very nice to me." she said, very unconvincing.

Professor McGonnagal knew she was lying, but didn't say anything. Instead, she just waved her hand and let Hermione go. Dumbledore and her had been noticing something wrong with her, so maybe she would talk to him about it after dinner.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione walked to the big door and slowly knocked. Professor Snape opened the door. "Come in, Ms. Granger." Hermione walked in and Snape followed her to the front of the room where Hermione stood. Instead of telling Hermione to take of her clothes, the Professor took off his robe and vest. When Hermione realized he might go further, she spoke up.

"Professor Snape, you aren't going to like- take all your clothes off, are you?" she asked.

Snape smiled and threw his robe and vest on the table next to him. He took out his wand. "Accio clothes!" Hermione's clothes flew off and into his arms, neatly. This was the second time Hermione had this happen to her, but it still scared her.

"Professor Snape, may I ask you something?" Hermione thought suddenly.

"Yes, you may."

"Did you tell Professor McGonnagal and Dumbledore that I had a crush on you?" she asked, nervously.

Snape grinned at her and nodded his head. "Yes, I did."

"And did you tell them you thought I would like it if I helped you grade papers every night?"

Snape nodded again. "I had to think of an excuse to have you come here every night. If I didn't, they would have mass suspicion, wouldn't they?"

Hermione said nothing, but looked down at the ground. She saw his feet and noticed how large they were. 'Oh my God! What am I thinking?? Stay calm Hermione, and just remember what he's doing to you. Think of Ron...'

~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco Malfoy walked out of his Common Room and down the corridor towards Dumbledore's office. Once he got there, he realized he didn't have the password! He banged on the door hard, hoping Dumbledore would hear. Finally, the door opened, but no one was there, so Draco just decided to get on the stairs and go to his office.

When he got inside to Dumbledore's living quarters, he saw Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonnagal.

"Why hello, Mr. Malfoy. Professor McGonnagal was just talking to me about Ms. Granger."

~*~*~*~*~*~

A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger! I know I told you I'd put more of the Snape meeting thingy, but I dunno I just didn't think it was a good time. Know what I mean? Oh well, I'll put it in there next time! R&R!

Oh! By the way, does anyone know what IMHO means? *smiles sheepishly* Someone said it to me and I was like "Yeah…sure…"
