Even Dreams Lie

Chapter Nine: Visiting
I wondered if I was absolutely crazy, going down to the dungeons to see Severus Snape. Even if I did have a logical reason to hide behind I felt rather strange. I wanted a specific book; Albus had sent me down to see Severus because he had a copy of it in his personal library. And I wanted to ask him if he could go down into the Chamber of Secrets so that I could bring my class down there if it was safe.
Even though I was a perfectly capable woman, with a large amount of expertise in dealing with ancient curses, I still wanted Severus' opinion. I had always worked with somebody else, never alone. Bill had been my partner when I was in Egypt, and several other places. He and I had spent three years working with each other when added together.
Severus had a lot of experience with dark magick too, which would most likely be the type of magick found in the hidden chamber of Salazaar Slytherin. I respected his opinion very much. Even if he had not been the DADA Professor I would still have asked for his help. The only other person I had ever had the met that was qualified for that position had been Professor Lupin. Sure there were several aurors that knew their stuff, but that didn't meant that they could teach at all.
I knocked on the door to my old potions classroom, which was now the DADA room, and surprisingly got no answer. I entered cautiously and looked around seeing nobody. Walking forward I stumbled on some unseen object and went flying into the air, Only to land on something soft around a foot above the ground. My eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
Then that something I was now laying on moved. And I realized it felt just like a person. I moved my hand and felt a person. My mouth widened into a big O.
"Uhh...Surprise?"
I screamed. I heard a man yell something akin to "bloody hell." Before my eyes Severus began to solidify before my very eyes while I was still laying on top of him. I couldn't help it. I reached out and slapped him.
'What the hell was that for woman?"
'What was that for? What do you think it was for? Are you trying to kill me or something? Great Goddess...I almost had a heart attack there."
Her hand strayed to her chest unconsciously with her words, and Severus followed the movement with hunger in his eyes. Oh to reach out and touch her would be sweet hell. And because she was still on top of him it was making things worse. He was becoming horribly turned on, and he was afraid she would begin to notice.
"Yes, and I'm still being squashed into a cold stone floor, I remind you."
I blushed furiously, realizing the position that we were in right now and scrambled to my feet. "I'm sorry, I was still kinda stunned or something I guess..."
"Well I still got it then." He said with a chuckle.
"Apparently yes you do. What were you doing anyways?"
"I was trying out a potion for Virginia, a new version of the invisibility potion that she had developed. If you don't mind I need a moment to write down a few things on the sensations I felt while under it and exactly when it was that it wore off."
"Amazing, you're trusting Ginny enough to be her guinea pig? You're more brave and valiant then I had ever though possible my dear Professor."
The words just slipped out of my mouth before I knew what I was saying. They were innocent enough, but they seemed to be promising so much more. I felt my cheeks flame and I turned away hoping he wouldn't notice. Whether he did or not. Thankfully he didn't acknowledge if he had noticed though.
A few moments later he set down his quill and looked up from his parchment. "Now was there something that you wanted to see me about, Miss Granger? Or did you just decide to wander down her to disturb me in my leisure time only to attempt to render me deaf and unconscious on the floor until my morning class found me?"
I had the decency to blush. "Actually yes I did have a valid reason for coming down here, and as for piercing your ear drum, that was entirely your fault."
"Indeed. Well I did forget that I was still under the effects of that potion. Imagine my surprise when you almost walked strait into me, and you were looking strait through me. Needless to say I barely moved out of the way in time but we still tripped each other up."
"Yes, it seems to be a bit of a habit now doesn't it. It's amazing that I haven't killed anyone yet."
"Yes, think of it," he drawled, mimicking the motions of holding a paper and quil while writing as he spoke. "The obituary will read: Death by sudden impact with ditzy Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione Granger, and the cold stone floor."
"And who exactly do you think you're calling a ditz?" I asked placing my hands on my hips and stomping my foot in mock anger.
"Why who on earth could it possibly be...G...huh...this is so hard!" he whined, sounding like a toddler. "Give me an easier one teach!"
"Puh-leaze... As if!"
'Oh yea?" he said giving me a way to happy smile that was kinda creepy.
I didn't like that look, and watched him warily as he stepped closer, very slowl. I felt like a deer stuck in headlights. He walked closer and I stepped back cautiously.
"Severus..."
He jumped at me and I tried to run, but he picked me up and threw me over his shoulders. I screeched indignantly at this treatment.
"Severus Snape you put me down this instant. This is barbaric. I'm warning you. I'll, I'll..."
"You'll what, Hermione?" he said, placing me firmly on my feet only a few inches in front of him, smirking all the while.
His voice sent shivers down my spine. So velvety... My name sounded so good falling off of his lips. I realized that this was the first time I had heard him say my name in my entire life. His words were completely forgotten. I just stared into his eyes, lost in their mezmirizing black pools.
"Hermione?"
"I'll sorry, hat did you say," I asked in a breathy voice.
"Or what?"
"Oh, that." Suddenly it didn't seem important anymore. "I'm not sure anymore but I'll think of something."
The electricity was so intense that you could practically see it sparking between us. I licked my lips unconsciously. He groaned from deep in his throat. I have no idea who moved first but suddenly we were leaning into each other, and I was in his arms.
All thoughts of my class and that book were gone from my mind. Only one thing was left, Severus
