Hermione entered the Great Hall again with the biggest smile on her face and noticed that no one was giving her strange glances or whispering. Hadn't anyone noticed her and Snape? She walked to where Harry, Ron and Dean Thomas stood.

When she approached, Harry and Ron smiled and Harry made a move to hug her, but she held up her hand to stop him.

"I think I'm going to turn in for the night. I don't feel well."

She didn't like lying to her friends, but the thing that she knew was coming was calling her intently. Harry frowned and nodded, but gave Hermione a goodnight hug and she turned her back on them.

She made her way through the people and spotted Dumbledore standing slightly off to the side of the door. He smiled widely at her and had that sly sparkle in his eye. Did he know? Hermione blushed and hid her face from his view.

Suddenly she bumped into someone in front of her and she looked up. Ginny was standing with her hands on her hips, but she was smiling.

"Don't think that I didn't notice you and Professor Snape, Hermione. I saw it all and I'm so happy for you..."

"Are you the only one...?"

Ginny shook her head and looked over her shoulder. Hermione followed her gaze and saw Draco Malfoy staring at her with a mixture of confusion and what Hermione took for as happiness. Hermione looked at Ginny with disbelief.

"What did you do to him?"

Ginny laughed at shook her head.

"Nothing...he really is quite a nice guy once you break his pigheaded attitude. He still needs some work though, but it was obvious that Snape doesn't need any work..."

Hermione punched Ginny' shoulder and gave her a dirty look. Ginny laughed again and pushed her to the doors.

"Go!"

Hermione nodded and walked out of the doors and headed to the dorms to change.


When Hermione entered to girl's dorm there was already an owl stitting on the windowsill of an open widow. The owl was gray with a small patch of white that slighlty resembled a star and she knew it wasn't a school owl.

"Hello there. Do you have something for me?"

She knew who it was from when the owl stuck its leg out and she undid the tie of the letter. The owl fluttered out and she opened to the parchment.

Dear Ms. Granger,

Meet me in the dungeons corridor as soon as you get this.

S.S

Hermione smiled and whipped out her wand. He dress disappeared and was replaced with sweatpants and a t-shirt. She left her hair up and she exited the dorms.


Severus waited in the shadows of the dungeons corridor for Hermione to come. His heart was pounding and he gulped slowly. How was this happening? It seemed to be going too fast, but it felt right. He heard the door of the dungeons creak opened and shut softly. He fixed his eyes on the stairs as saw a thin shadow with piled hair that looked like Hermione's and sure enough, it was her.

Hermione looked around at the slowly dancing flames that casted slow moving shadows on the concreate walls. She looked around slowly and tried to spot Snape, but her eyes really hadn't adjusted to the dim light and she really couldn't see. She descended down the stairs slowly and stopped when she heard a sound.

"S-Severus?"

Suddenly, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her and held her tightly. She panicked and tried to reach for her wand, but her arms were pinned to her sides and she was helpless. She closed her eyes as she felt the breath of her attacker in her ear and she smiled when she felt Snape's whisper enter her ears.

"My, my, my, Ms. Granger. I must say, you are quite a jumpy person. There isn't any reason to be afraid for I am the only one down here..."

"But the dungeons have always scared me, especially at night..."

She could feel Snape smile against her ear and he feel his teeth graze her earlobe gently. She moaned softly and licked her lips.

"Mmm...really? Well, you don't need to be afraid this place anymore, my dear, only of me..."

Snape turned Hermione around and pushed her roughly up against the cold wall and started to kiss her passionatley. She met his passion and moaned into his mouth loudly. He broke the kiss then and moved to the middle of her neck and bit gently, then licking the spot. Hermione moved her hand around his back, then into his jet black hair, where her fingers curled delicatley around the surprisingly soft strands of hair.

Snape pulled her down the stairs and they went passed the Potions classroom. Hermione noticed this and broke their kissing.

"W-where are we going?"

"To my rooms, love."

Hermione smiled and kissed Snape some more. They approached a portrait that Hermione had never noitced in the corridor and Snape turned to it in a hurry.

"Wolfsbane and sandlewood..."

"Very original..."

Snape covered Hermione's mouth with his and they pushed through the portrait hole. Hermione was pushed onto a queen sized bed dressed with dark green and black silk sheets and pillows. She smiled as Snape climed on top of her and covered her with kisses.

Snape threw off his robes and took Hermione's with his own. They landed in a heap and then Snape removed his shirt. Hermione gasped at how buff he was and his skin was as smooth as it looked. She could see his muscles rippling underneath his skin and she shuttered.

Suddenly, the fireplace that was quite close to the bed burst into bright orange flames and Hermione saw Snape set his wand onto the table top next to the bed. She smiled and pulled Snape on top of her.

As they undressed eachother in a hurry, Snape reached out for Hermione's head and undid her hair gently. He then brought out the brown wavy mass and sighed into it as he smelled her sweet scent.

"Ms. Granger...you know that this is..."

"Shh...I don't care...I just want you, Severus."

'Do you feel the way I feel about you?' Snape thought silently. He kissed her again, but more gently and with slowly. She matched it and they went under the covers, fully naked. Snape was on top of Hermione and they soon began making love.

'This isn't happening...wait...yes it is. I can't believe the things that he is making me feel. This is heaven.'

Hermione smiled as Snape pumped into her. She felt like she was floating and she looked to her side and saw that she was even with the chandeler...WHAT! Hermione grabbed onto Snape's upper arms and looked down. They were a good two and a half feet off of the bed. Snape laughed and was breathing heavily in between it. Hermione smiled and felt herself reach her peak.

Snape couldn't believe what he was feeling. He felt like everything in him was rinsing away and it felt good. Snape felt intense love for the woman beneath him and he smiled at her lovingly. He felt her start to come to her peak and he felt his also.

As they peaked together Snape whispered words of love in Hermione's ear and she reciprocated, but did she mean it or was she caught in the moment? Snape didn't know, but it warmed him in any case. They slowly came back on top of the bed and the both of them tried to catch their breath.

Hermione wrapped a silky sheet around her and cuddled next to Snape's chest. He put an arm around her and Hermione saw the dark mark. She frowned a little and reached out to touch it, but quickly thought twice. Snape might get angry at her and she didn't need that at the moment. She sighed and closed her eyes.

Snape breathed into Hermione's hair and the scent of lavander reached his nose. He loved her and he hoped that she shared that feeling. He hugged her tighter, afraid that she might disappear. He smiled and closed eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.


Harry folded up a piece of parchment and had a terrible look on his face. He slammed the parchement onto the table in front of him and growled fiercely. The fading words on the parchment read "The Marauders Map".

"Unbelieveable..."
