Final Test:
Idle Threat
The second kiss left them both breathless. The passion from them vibrated all around them. Hermione pulled from his embrace and looked at him. His warmth gone from her made her shiver again. What was she doing? This was her professor!
'How many times do I have to tell you that he isn't your professor any more?!' asked the voice in her head. 'Just enjoy it'
"Severus...I-I..." she couldn't think. Her mind was going in a hundred places at once. She did the one thing she knew she shouldn't have. She ran.
Severus watched her flee from him. Weather or not it was because of him he didn't know. Her warmth was gone and he stood there realizing just how cold it had gotten. Why had he brought he to the tower? Why had he made a complete fool out of himself by kissing her?
"Albus!" he said aloud. He ran towards the door and headed down the stairs. 'That man has interfered long enough!' he said to himself. 'When I get my hands on him...' It only took Severus minutes to get to the Gargoyle leading to the head master's office. It was way past time that the man learned not to interfere with other people's lives.
He bellowed the password, Kiwi Pie, and ran up the stairs. He only stopped for a moment at the top of the and threw open the door. The office was cast in a shadow coming from the fire place. Severus looked around the room. Albus for the first time since he knew him was not in his office when he came in. Albus always seem to know what was going on in the castle and was always where he needed to be, but this one time he wasn't in his office so Severus could kill him!
"Albus!" yelled Severus. "I know your here. Now get out here so I can kill you!"
"Do you honestly think I'm going to show up after that?" came a voice out of no where.
"If you know what is good for you!"
"Come now, Severus."
"You can't hide forever. And when you slip up I'll be there to take you out!"
"You wouldn't hurt my, son. I know that maybe this one time I've gotten caught but still what was I going to do? Let you two pussy foot around the fact that you have feelings for each other?" Severus staired at the fire. Dancing in the flames was Albus' head, grinning.
"I-I don't what what your talking about."
"Come now, Severus." smiled Albus. "You have been infatuated with Hermione ever since that day you saved her life. I honestly belive it started well before then. So what if I gave you a little push."
"You had no right!" yelled Severus. "Now get in here so I can beat the tar out of you!"
"I'm not coming in there until you promise not to harm me."
"I can't be held responsible if I do anything to you, old man."
"What about Hermione? Do you think she will think to highly of you if you go around and kill the head master?"
"I think she will understand." Albus just nodded.
"Very well. I guess I should face the music." he chuckled. "But honestly I would rather face Voldomort again. Your just scary." Albus' head faded from the fire and soon there was a loud pop and the head master stood infront of the extermly ticked Severus, who had his wand pointed at him.
"I swear if you EVER do anything like that again I'll kill you!" he screamed.
"I'll just have to be more careful next time." grinned Albus. Severus lowered his wand and shook his head. "Your incorrigible."
"Well yes, but we all knew that." Severus couldn't help but smirk. "Tell me something, Severus."
"What now?"
"Why the Calada Tower? You know the legend. So why would you bring her up there?"
"I don't know, my feet just brought me there and she followed."
"Well, it seems that tonights activities have proved most entertaining. But I must bid you good-night."
"Sure, you get to go to sleep. I'll be up all night!" cried Severus.
"Then take a Dream Draught. I'm sure that will help." Severus nodded and left the office. On his way back down to the dungons he stopped quickly.
'How did he do that? I was going to kill him....had it all planned out too. How did he stop me'
'Magic.' answered his mind.
Hermione had ran all the way back to her rooms. She couldn't belive she had done what she did. Just leave him standing there after that kiss. She didn't regret it, she just wished she knew why she had done it. She had a feeling that it had something to do with Albus. Everything had something to do with him. That man just didn't know when to butt out! She reached the painting leading to her rooms. The maiden wasn't there, and nither were the unicorns. How was she going to get back in? She called for the maiden but she never came.
Hermione sat down on the stairs leading to the dungon. She would just have to wait for her to return. Why didn't they have a way to get in if the guardian of the chambers weren't there? She would have to asked Albus or Minerva that tomorrow. Her mind drifted back to the tower and Severus' arms. It hadn't accured to her then but the entire time she was in his arms the pain that filled her body all the time had vanished. It returned to her as soon as she pulled away from him. She longed to have his arms around her again.
She leaned against the wall and rested her head on her knees. (There pulled up to her chest.) Her mind was still going a hundred miles per hour. She didn't know what to make of what had happened. Her mind finally stopped quick as it fell on the fact that it was Calada Tower they went to. Why couldn't she remember anything about it. There was something important about it. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard soft foot steps coming up from behind her. She looked up and there stood the man she had run from not to long ago.
"Hermione, why are you sitting there?" he asked.
"I can't get into my rooms." she said honestly. "The maiden is gone."
"Did you try the painting down the stairs? She tends to hang out there." said Severus. "Come, maybe she is there." Hermione stood and walked with him down the stairs. Severus stopped infront of a painting of woods. He looked into the painting and waited.
"Knight!" he finally yelled. Silence. "Knight, I wish to enter my rooms." Hermione looked at Severus then back at the painting.
"This is the entrance to your rooms?" "Not tonight, apparently." he answered. "This is odd."
"How so?"
"The Knight wouldn't just leave the painting, nither would the unicorns. The Maiden must have lured him away, again."
"So what do we do now?" asked Hermione, walking over to the steps and sitting down. "I can't get into my room and now you can't get into yours." Severus walked over to her and sat down.
"We wait until they come back or we can go to my class rooms and sit in there." Hermione looked over at him. Why hadn't he brought up what happened on the tower yet? "We can wait in your class room, if you want." He gracfully stood up and offered his hand to help her up. She took it and once again the pain the flowed through her body vanished.
The walked down the dark, empty hall way. The only sound came from their shoes. A noise jumped Hermione and she all but lept into Severus' arms. He had to hold back a chuckle as she held on to his arm. The look on her face was priceless. Never had he thought that she would be afraid of the dark. It didn't take them long to reach the potions classroom. Severus held open the door as Hermione walked in.
Hello! So what did you think? Good? Bad? Take me out in the road and kill me? The next Chapter I'm going to have Severus tell Hermione the legend of Calada Tower.... Please tell me what you think!
