10. Being invisible has its advantages.
She reached the door to Severus's private rooms without meeting anyone. She knocked, still covered by the Invisibility Cloak. Snape opened the door, looked around, saw no one, and closed the door with a puzzled look on his face. But Iris snuck in before he closed it. Iris watched Snape longingly, but waited for the right time to show herself. Snape sat on his bed and massaged his temples.
"I must be hearing things," he said quietly. "I must be losing my mind. No," he smiled, "she is making me lose my mind. I hate it. I hate the way I feel about her." Iris's heart shattered. There was someone else.
"Yes," he continued, "she is an angel sent to destroy me. How can an angel such as she, ever feel anything for me? The greasy, old, git of a Potions Master." Snape spat the words out of his mouth. Iris was now angry beyond words. She walked towards the door, but then Snape said a word, a single word, that made her anger dissolve into nothingness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Iris," said Severus, to hear how her name rolled of his tongue. He heard a sound and instinctively reached for his wand but when he looked up Iris stood there, an invisibility cloak at her feet. Had she heard everything he had just said? His confession of love? And what was she doing here in the first place? He stood. Severus would have expected for her to do almost anything but what she did.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tears burned her eyes and threatened to fall.
"Sevie," she whispered. "I feel the same way."
"Don't call me that," he said, his voice cold and harsh. The tears fell. She put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest.
"Please," she said, "let down that brick wall you have around your heart." He was silent. His arms hung limply at his side. Finally, he reached up and stroked her hair.
"Miss Hernandez, please."
"Don't call me that," she imitated him. Iris looked up into his dark eyes and murmured "kiss me."
"I can't." He looked away from her.
"Yes, you can," she said as she began to kiss his neck. He pulled away.
"No, I cant and neither can you." But his voice had softened and his eyes betrayed his words as he looked at her with longing. Iris didn't care for words much anyway. She could read the _expression on his face. She pressed her lips onto his. Her mouth parted slightly and so did his. She slipped her tongue into his mouth but he broke the kiss and stepped back.
"You know we shouldn't be doing this," he said.
"Why not? Come on Severus. Are you going to tell me that you don't care for me as fiercely as I care for you?"
" I do want to be with you," he confessed, "but you are my student. What would people say?"
"Who cares what people say? Besides, who says anyone has to know?" She walked towards him and continued where she had left off. Still kissing they made their way towards the bed. This time it was her who stopped.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing." He put his hands around her waist and pulled her close to him. He kissed her neck but exhaustion took over her. She fell asleep.

Iris woke up in Snape's bed feeling groggy. She glanced at the watch on her wrist.
"Oh shit." She sat up. "I have Potions in five minutes and I'm still in pajamas."
"Calm down," said Snape as he sat next to her. "I have arranged for the houselves to bring your books and a fresh change of clothes. You can use my bathroom and, incase you haven't noticed, my private rooms are very near the Potions classroom."
Iris took a deep breath. She came out of the bathroom three minutes later. She noticed Sevie sitting at his desk. He looked dark and dreamy.
"Class starts in two minutes. You might want to get there on time. It could look suspicious if we arrive together. Not to mention, the Potions Master might remove points," said Snape not looking at her. She smiled and turned to leave.
"You aren't leaving without saying goodbye, are you? After all, the next time I'll see you I will be you're hateful Potions Professor."
"I could hardly say that my Potions Professor is hateful." She said coyly before kissing him and heading out the door.

When she got to the classroom everyone was already there. She sat beside Hermione.
"Where were you this morning?" hissed Hermione as Snape came walking into the classroom a few minutes later.
"I'll tell you later," she hissed back. That day, nothing could ruin her happiness. Every chance she got, she would look at Snape and flash him a smile. He returned it with a scowl but she already knew he had to react like that.
"Hey Hermione," said Iris as they walked out of the Potions classroom.
"What?"
"Have you ever skipped before?" Hermione noticed the dangerous look in her eyes.
"No. Why?" She replied slowly and cautiously.
"Want to try?"

"Iris, I'm not so sure we should be doing this," said Hermione as they climbed up to the girl's dormitory.
"Live a little. Ron told me how many rules you've broken with him and Harry. So why not with me?"
"But what if we get caught?"
"We won't." Hermione sighed as they climbed onto her bed.
"Alright, now what was the point of this again?" asked Hermione.
"For one thing, we were doing theorism in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and that's sure to be boring."
"But we have O.W.L.S. this year! What if there are questions referring to today's lesson on the test?" She said anxiously.
"Hermione, don't you want to know where I was last night?" Said Iris with a smile.
"Last night?" Her curiosity got the better of her. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, last night I snuck out under Harry's invisibility cloak."
"You did WHAT?!"
Iris told Hermione everything that had happened starting from her dream to the smiles she flashed Snape during class. When she finished, Hermione was staring at her in shock and disbelief.
"That is amazing," said Hermione.
"I think I'm in love with him," sighed Iris.

That night Harry, Hermione, Iris, and Ron sat in the Gryffindor common room writing a foot and a half long essay on "he Giant Wars." Harry put down his quill.
"Iris," he said. She looked up from her essay.
"What?"
"Where's my cloak?" Iris felt herself go numb. It was still in Snape's room.
"Oh, umm...it's on my bed. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning, ok?"
"Why don't you just give it to me now?" He said suspiciously.
"Because I want to finish this first," she said as she pointed to her essay.
She waited for the three of them to go to bed and then she snuck out.
She was almost to Snape's room when she felt someone grab her shoulder.
"What are you doing out at this time young lady?" She breathed again as she turned around and saw Severus Snape standing there.
"I'm taking a midnight stroll to visit my Potions Master," she said coyly.
"I will take you to his private quarters then," he said with a quick smile.
As soon as she stepped to through the doorway and shut the door behind her Severus pulled her into his arms. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him quickly.
"Sorry, but I can't stay long," she whispered in his ear.
"Why not?" He asked puzzled.
"I just came for something I forgot last night," she said softly as she rested her head on his chest.
"What's that?"
"Harry's invisibility cloak."
"I will beg you not to mention Potter when we are alone again," he said suddenly. She looked up at him and smiled.
"So you're already planning more of my little midnight escapes?" She said teasingly. "Well, you should know two things. Number one is that I can't come here without using Harry's cloak, or I might get caught. Number Two is that I need my beauty sleep, which I do not get when I'm with you."
"You came tonight without the cloak," remarked Sevie.
"Yeah and I got caught. Luckily by you, but I cannot take such a great risk again."
"In that case, why did you take the risk now?"
"Because Harry asked me for his cloak back and I couldn't tell him it was here. So I told him that it was in my dormitory," said Iris.
"So you could take a chance for Potter, but not for me?" He said, his voice angry and, was that hurt?
"Baby." He gulped at the word. She pressed her body onto his. "You know the reason I came here is so that he didn't find out about us. So why the jealousy?" She put a finger to his lips and he tensed. He had a certain something that she just couldn't understand. She pulled away from him and his muscles relaxed. Was it her touch that made him tense up? Or was it just the human contact? She wondered what made him like that but she pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
"Okay Sev, where's the cloak?" she said sweetly. He pointed to the foot of the bed. She picked it up and put it on.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" He asked looking at the spot where she had disappeared, but by now she was standing next to him. She blew in his ear and then traced his collarbone with her tongue.
"See you later, Sevie," she whispered and walked back to the Gryffindor common room.
