A/N: Okay, here's the next part. Just so you know, this is just a (hopefully) humorus challenge response and a little OOC-ness is to be expected. Enjoy.
The Rumor
Chapter 2: It Must Be a Love Potion
Professor Severus Snape strode purposefully through the Great Hall toward the head table. He took his seat nodding at the other staff members.
As far as days went, today wasn't all that bad. Of course, he thought that about all days that he didn't have to teach Gryffindors.
He was just about to tuck into his meal, unusually hungry tonight, when he got a sudden feeling that something wasn't right.
Professor Snape lifted his head and scanned the hall.
Odd. It seemed that almost all of the 7th years had paired off in boy-girl pairs. Even some 5th and 6th years were doing it. Heads close together whispering and giggling.
Snape scowled. Valentine's Day passed a few weeks ago, this was most unusual.
He shrugged and turned back to his meal. Before he could get the first bite to his mouth, Madam Pompfrey came hurrying over to him plopping in the empty seat to his right.
"Severus, I need more contraceptive potions as soon as you can make them." she said, urgently.
He was glad he hadn't put that bite in his mouth because he'd have choked.
"What?"
"You wouldn't believe how many students have been to see me about getting some." she said, worridly.
"Alright, I'll start right after dinner." he said, with a look of utter disgust.
She thanked him and left.
What was going on? There had to be more of an explanaion than just hormones. He thought back to earlier today when he passed Malfoy and Granger talking in the hall. Surely they weren't... He shuddered.
He looked over at the Gryffindor table and was suprised to find Hermione Granger starting at him. Their eyes met and she blushed and looked down at her plate.
Professor Snape's head jerked back like he'd been hit.
It had to be a love potion. There was just no other explanantion.
His stomach growled, but he was now warily sniffing his dinner. What if it was in the food?
He looked around at the other Professors. They didn't seem to be affected. Then his gaze fell on Sybil Trewlany, who noticed him looking and started batting her bug-like eyes at him.
Abruptly he jumped to his feet and practically fled the hall.
Hunger would be a small price to pay.

Hermione Granger had never thought much about having sex. A boyfriend, sure. Getting married, who hasn't? Having a baby, maybe. But sex? Not so much.
When she first heard the rumor and saw all the fuss it was causing, she had started to imagine what having sex might be like. She was a little surprised to realize that the first guy to come to mind was not Harry or Ron, but Ron's oldest brother Bill.
She had turned as red as a tomato after that daydream in History of Magic class early that day. But the more she thought of it, the more it made sense. Bill Weasly was the only guy she knew that she didn't have a category for. For instance, Harry and Ron were friends, Fred and George were peers, and then there were the professors and parents. But Bill..., Bill was just sexy.
But Bill wasn't here now, and so he wasn't an option.
She sneaked a glance at all of the other students at her table. She could never sleep with Harry or Ron, that would be too icky.
She mentally sized up and dismissed each 7th year boy.
Her thoughts turned toward a certain Potions Master.
"Damn Draco Malfoy!" Hermione muttered.
Ever since he had made that comment about she and Snape doing 'the nasty', Hermione had had trouble thinking of anything else.
What would it be like with Snape? Would it be slow and sensous, or rough and wild? Maybe a little of both?
Her eyes locked with his, and she blushed and looked down.
A minute later he practically flew out of the Great Hall.
She sighed.
Well, there was no use fighting it. If she had to have sex before graduation, Snape was the one she wanted.
She felt a little better with that decision made. Now she just had to convince him. Easier said than done. But if there was one thing Hermione enjoyed, it was a good challenge.
