Chapter 9 Admitting is the First Step

"I know. I've always loved you too. More than just as friends..." She said, unsure if she should have. He stopped her from taking back anything she was going to by pulling her into a passionate kiss. Their lips fitted together as if they were made for one another. "You still kiss like you did that night when you left. When we were mere teenagers." She said, grinning up at him.

"Do I?" He asked, smiling down at her. The first real smile he had shown in years.

"Oh yes." She said, pushing her body closer against his. She could feel him growing against her abdomen.

"I could surprise you with some of the things that I can still do like a teenager." He grinned at her, pulling her into another kiss.

"Is that a fact?" She asked, moving to sit on the desk and then pulling him infront of her.

"It is." He said, kissing her. Her tongue slid out of her mouth and began to rub at his lips trying to part them. He did and let her tongue invade his mouth passionately.

Before they could continue any further there was a knock at the door. They quickly pulled apart, looking quite flustered. "Just a moment." Snape called to the door.

"Wait you've got some lip gloss on you." Stella smiled, wiping it from his face.

"Thanks." He said, sitting behind his desk quickly. "Come in." He called just as Stella took the seat infront of his desk again.

Chapter 10 Visitor

"Hello Severus. I don't mean to interrupt but we need to discuss some matters." Dumbledore said, entering the room. He wore a knowing smile as always.

"Right, well I've got to go unpack. I'll see you later Sev. See you later headmaster." Stella smiled, leaving the room.

"You wanted to discuss something Headmaster?"

"Yes Severus. I wanted to see if you and Miss Potter had cleared the air between yourselves? Otherwise it would be a very long year to have you two not getting along amicably."

"I think that we've cleared up quite a bit. However I think we're going to... discuss more later."

"Glad to hear it. Well I've got to dash, Hagrid wanted to talk to me about something. See you later than Severus."

"Yes sir. See you later."

Chapter 11 Visiting

"Come in." Stella called when someone knocked at her office door. "Hey Sev." She smiled, looking up and seeing him walk in. "Everything okay with Dumbledore?"

"Yes, everything's fine." He said, sitting down in one of the chairs infront of her desk. "Just wanted to check that everything was worked out between you and I."

"Well..." She started to say, putting some books onto her bookshelf and then walking over towards him, leaning against the desk directly infront of him. "I suppose we have. Of course we have some things to... discuss?" Stella smiled evilly at him.

"Oh I'm quite sure that we do." He said to her, putting his hands on her hips and pulling her close to him for a kiss.

"Well shall we begin to discuss than?" She whispered, moving closer.

"We shall." He said, pulling her onto his lap and giving her a kiss.

"My chambers are right through that door." She whispered in his ear, than started to nibble the lobe.

"Is it?" he asked with a mock surprise.

"Oh yes. Would you like to see them?" She grinned.

"That would be..."

The door opened suddenly.
