Disclaimer: No I don't own anything related to the Harry Potter franchise. POOR ME. I'll just go cry about my financial situation now.
Sorry this took soooooooo long. I was sick for a week with a fever. Add that to coughing, sneezing, running nose, lack of sleep, loss of appetite and you have the flu. Hope you enjoy it! The song in italics is from Linkin park's song, 'Pushing Me Away.'
Hermione hit Snape across the head with her sack. She watched Snape wince in pain, grasping his head while aiming his wand at her.
"Obliviate!" Hermione screeched before thinking about what she was doing. 'Oh this is really bad. You almost knocked your professor out and put a blasted memory charm on him.'
She rapidly transfigured her clothes into the Gryffindor uniform before he recovered from the spell.
"Hermione?" he said, gazing at her and then their surroundings. "Why are you here?"
'Think fast,' she repeated to herself, probing her mind for a reasonable excuse. When she finally found a worthy choice, she thought it was greatly degrading. 'I'm never going to forgive myself for this.'
He had started to stare at her and the bag in her hand suspiciously.
She seized him by his olive Slytherin tie and kissed him. It took a few seconds before Snape's instincts kicked in and his hands wandered over her body. Closing the door with the heel of his shoe, he pressed his body against hers. Hermione closed her eyes to avoid seeing the toad she was kissing. A very good kissing toad. Who would have known that Professor Snape could teach in other matters besides Potions. The kiss was broken off, leaving them staring at each other and gasping for breath. 'I have to play along….'
"I came to see you, Severus," she purred, keeping annoying girls like Pansy and Miriam in mind.
"I knew you would come," he murmured, continuing to kiss her. He coerced her to move towards his room, driving her to anxiously find a way out of the sticky situation.
They both fell against his bed. He removed his robes in a fluid movement, keeping her waist imprisoned between his legs. 'I need to prove to him that I've come here for this or I'll be in real hell.' She hid her cringed face in his greasy hair as he kissed her neck. Moving her hand up his black shirt, she hastily realized that she had made a huge mistake.
His hands quickly unbuttoned her shirt. 'Damn, I'm not leaving this room with my professor having seen me like this….especially since he has his clothes on' She repeated his gesture, removing his shirt forcefully. He had already slid her skirt down when she quickly removed his pants with her wand.
"A little hasty, aren't we?" he said, smirking.
'Yuck,' she thought to herself, trying not to laugh. She couldn't believe that Snape had actually just talked to her without a snide remark. Then again, considering her situation….
He leaned towards her to capture her mouth again when she pushed him away.
His face changed drastically. "What?"
She listened to the loud screams she could hear from outside. Glancing at a nearby clock, she found her motive of escape.
"The game's finished," she said.
"And?" he said, moving his hands down to slide her underwear down her legs.
"Everyone will be returning to their common room, unless you want them to see us," she explained quickly, distracting him from removing anything. To her relief, he backed off. She jumped from his bed and paced around the room to find her different pieces of clothing. She was so grateful that he hadn't seen what he shouldn't. After dressing up she froze in her spot when she saw a pair of black and red-checkered boxers being hovered over her.
"I'm sure we can continue if we seal the room," he whispered from behind her, kissing her shoulders.
'Oh crap, he must not be wearing anything… which means I have the advantage.'
She grabbed the boxers and turned around without looking down.
"I'll have to take a rain check on that," she said, kissing him to close the deal.
Before she could exit the Slytherin common room, he asked, "Where are you taking me boxers?"
She paused at the door, "Just a little souvenir until the next time…"
Sirius POV
He waited impatiently for Hermione to walk through the doors, hoping to get a hug or kiss of congratulations for winning. He wasn't the only one…
"Aren't you going to congratulate us?" James said to Lily, holding his arms out.
She rolled her eyes and turned his back on him.
Hermione approached the Marauders who were seated at the far end of the room. Her face was extremely flushed as if she had been playing some Quidditch also. Slumping down on the sofa, she sighed.
"What's wrong?" James asked, concerned.
Lily joined her on the sofa, "Did you get them?"
"No, I'm fine," Hermione, said, "Yes I got it and more."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked, her voice faltering, "You didn't run into anybody?"
"Severus Snape," she said in a low voice.
"WHAT DID SNIVELLUS DO?" Sirius said, erupting to his feet.
"Nothing," Hermione lied, reddening at the truth.
"Then why are you so red?" Sirius said, looking at her doubtfully.
"He just ummmm…. Opened up to me," she said.
Sirius slowly calmed down when he noticed that Hermione didn't want to talk about it.
"I mean it's not as if he shagged me, relax," she said jokingly.
Sirius shook of the bad mental image (due of course to Snivellus) and focused on the other half.
Hermione turned to Lily and began whispering. Lily began laughing hysterically and fell off the sofa hugging herself.
"What's so funny?" Remus asked, as all the boys watched them.
"Kinky," Lily said, through her giggles.
"I would give it a …9," Hermione said, grinning to herself.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Oi, Hermione we better get ready," Lily said, standing up.
Hermione nodded, "Oh yes, and congrats on the win, boys." Both girls left the room, grinning devilishly at the work to be done.
Two days later, Hermione was busy at the check out counter in the library. She magically placed the book under the student's name and handed it back.
"That will be due four days from today. Is their anything else?" she said dully, focusing on the clock to make it move. Just maybe, she would develop telekinetic powers if she stared long enough.
The boy shook his head and left. Sirius walked up to the counter. Hermione smiled, since seeing anyone she knew was the highlight of her very tedious job.
"Animagus," she read the title aloud. Considering that the Marauders had transformed into Animagus way before their seventh year, it was highly impossible that Sirius was taking it out for mere information. Even if it were an assignment, she was positive that he would be capable of writing a fifteen-meter parchment paper without any reference to books. "Interesting topic, what would be your form?"
He looked at her surprisingly, "Should have guessed that the smartest girl in our grade would know what an Animagus is. Perhaps, she would like to help me with my assignment."
Hermione took the hint right away, "I think we need to work on our DADA project first."
"Right!" he said, nodding his head, "I would be a dog… it's easier to move around in that form."
"Wow, sounds like you're talking from experience," she said, seeing the bewilderment and suspicion on his face. She quickly added, "I love dogs."
Sirius nodded, running his fingers through his hair anxiously. She had never seen Sirius so nervous in front of her. Her heart melted when his dark brown eyes brightened after smiling. Sirius stood there for a few seconds, staring at her in a way that would make any woman swoon.
"Sirius," she said sheepishly, waking him out of his reverie, "You're holding up the line."
He glanced back to the agonizing looks of ten students who were shifting uneasily under the weight of several huge books.
"Oh right, I'll… ummm see you … ah later," he said, stepping back.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked. He looked back at her confusingly, "What you came here for?" He sent her another questionable look. Hermione waved the book in the air.
He grabbed it, and she asked, "Is there anything else you'll need?"
"No, that's all for now," he said, leaning over the counter and grinning.
Someone cleared his or her throat behind him and he finally left with his book in hand.
The next afternoon, Hermione dragged Lily with her as they approached James and Sirius while they were playing wizarding chess.
"So Hermione, hope you're coming to the game tomorrow," Remus asked, raising his head from his book.
"Of course!" she said chirpily, "Wouldn't miss tomorrow's game for the world."
"Good," Sirius said, moving his pawn forward, "I was looking forward to my good luck kiss… for you know … its tradition…"
"Hmmm, never heard of that. I have two best friends on the team and they never ask for kisses," Hermione said, sitting next to James.
"Need to be guys, you see," Sirius said, examining the chessboard carefully and trying to keep his eyes down.
"They are," she explained, glimpsing thoughtfully at the board. "I mean Harry did-." Her face reddened, thinking back to that moment. James, Remus, Lily and especially Sirius glanced up at her expectantly.
"Did what? Who's Harry," Sirius said curiously, knowing somewhat about Harry.
"Oh it's nothing," she said abruptly, "James I was wondering if I could borrow your invisibility cloak tonight."
James looked at her skeptically, "How did you know that-."
"That would be the day where you were-," Remus started to explain.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHH," James said, glancing hesitantly at Lily, "Why do you need it?"
Hermione looked at Lily thoughtfully and turned to James, "Don't ask any questions. I guarantee you a date with Lily if you say yes."
"WHAT?" Lily screamed at the top pf her lungs, catching the attention of the entire room. "YOU'RE SETTING ME WITH HIM?"
"We need it," Hermione said through clenched teeth, while smiling at everyone in the room to assure them that everything was okay.
"Sure," James said, running to his room and reappearing with the cloak in a bag within a matter of a few seconds. "If it's alright with Lily, that is."
"FINE!" Lily said, yelling back.
"Next Hogesmeade trip?" James asked politely.
"FINE!" she said, "I'LL MEET YOU THERE." She left the room in a hurry and shot anyone who was observing her oddly a dirty look.
"Told you I'd work things out for you," Hermione said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to take care of some things...." James seemed to be entering daydreaming mode much to the delight of Sirius who seemed to be playing against himself.
"Hermione," Remus called out before she left," I heard Sniv- I mean Snape is looking for you."
"What does that grease ball want from her," Sirius sneered, declaring checkmate to James.
Hermione felt her face warming at the name. She had been avoiding him for the past few days… quite successfully. "I heard him telling Lucius that he has some unfinished business with you," Remus informed her.
"Business?" Sirius said quizzically, "Has he been bothering you?"
Hermione shook her head, "No, just spread around a rumor that I'm sick… that will be good enough."
"What happened between you two?" James asked.
"NOTHING," Hermione roared, "I'll be going now…bye!" She practically sprinted out of the room.
"What's that all about?" Remus asked.
"Hmm… I'll just have to question Snivellus about it," Sirius said, pocketing his wand and leaving the common room.
"Better make sure he doesn't do anything stupid," Remus said, following him.
"Chances of that are pretty high," James said, joining Remus, "Should I take her to dinner?"
Sirius' POV
Sirius opened up the Marauder's map, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He quickly spotted Snape in the library section.
When Remus, James and Sirius entered the library, they found their victim seated alone with his crooked nose buried in a huge Dark Arts book.
"Look who it is," Sirius jeered, making Snape look up at his enemies.
"What do you want," he said, holding his wand out.
"What's going on between Hermione and you?" Remus inquired, getting to the point straight away to avoid any detentions from Mrs. Pince.
"Why, Hermione didn't tell you," Snape asked, his face glowing victoriously. "She never liked you from the first day she arrived Black, I'm not surprised. You'll never be able to get her."
Sirius nearly pounced on the table but James and Remus held him back.
"Since you'll never have the chance, I'll just let you know that she's quite the animal in bed," Snape said, standing up.
Remus and James withdrew their grip on Sirius in shock. Sirius froze in his spot, wanting to strangle Severus more than ever.
"You're lying," he scoffed, lifting his wand.
"Give it a break, why wasn't she present at the Gryffindor game," Snape said confidently, hoping that Sirius would lose control of his temper and get himself in trouble.
Sirius stared back at him, remembering Hermione's state when she returned to the Gryffindor common room. Malfoy and Snape. His body trembled in fury. All he could do was hate everything about her.
"I'll leave you to your mourning," said Snape coolly, leaving them.
When Sirius, James and Remus walked into their common room, they found Hermione doing her homework at one of the tables.
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing why...
He wanted to scream at her for what she had done.
"It could be false for all we know," Remus remarked, trying to encourage his friend.
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
pushes me away
Everything started to make sense to him as he watched her intensely focused on her DADA textbook. She was excellent in their class and that could only come from practice. Her relationship with the Slytherins was the better than any other person in Gryffindor or the other houses. With his family's experience in the Dark Arts, he should have recognized her to be another of those ruthless purebloods.
"It's true," he said hopelessly, marching up to the boys' dormitories.
Hermione's POV
After midnight, Hermione stepped onto the school grounds, hugging the cloak tightly around her.
"Why did you that Hermione," Lily said, grieving her situation with James.
"An exchange," Hermione said, checking to see if the coast was clear before Lily and she walked towards the Quidditch fields. "We better finish this quickly or we'll have Filch on our backs."
Lily nodded and handed Hermione the first item from the bag.
The next day, everyone woke up earlier for the match between Slytherin and Gryffindor. For some odd reason, Sirius had been avoiding her and didn't join Lily and breakfast like he had been doing for the past few days. James, Remus and Peter were no better because they followed Sirius' actions. She couldn't find any reason why they were acting like that so she chose to ignore it.
Before she could even wish James and Sirius good luck for their game, they had already left. She shrugged and joined Lily in dressing up for the cold weather outside.
Sirius' POV
An hour later, Sirius stood in his Quidditch robes and prepared to fly out to greet
the fans. He could hear the students piling up in the boxes above them, a little louder than usual. There were huge laughs that erupted from the crowds.
"Wonder what's happening," Sirius commented to James, who listened to the crowds outside the door. His mind was still focused on Hermione's hypocritical side even with the deafening sounds.
James shrugged, "Remember guys, stay focused. Don't let them push you around and keep the bludgers in place."
The doors were opened and the arrival of the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams were announced. From across the field, Sirius scowled when he saw Lucius flying out of the Slytherin side. The crowds roared even louder, but for a different reason altogether.
The sight, which he saw, made him forget about the incident from the previous day. He laughed as he watched the professors struggling to remove the best prank played on the Slytherins since the arrival of the Marauders at Hogwarts.
