Experiments

Hermione was sooooo sleepy that morning, she couldn't get herself out of bed, she unhappily had to work, but the bed was just so comfy, Severus would go with her and hang around, even help her with her experiments, at first it was uncomfortable with him around, but hewasso smart, he helped herwith the hard and worse, Hermione hated admitting it, but she loved it that she wasn't alone all day in that lab anymore.

Severus sat on the sofa waiting for her, she was going to be late, he paced around, if there was something he hated was not being on time. He walked over to her bedroom door, knocking twice he told her annoyed.

"Get up! We are going to be late." She didn't move, he knocked again, she stood up but stumbled on the bed sheets and fell on the floor, oh my god, how did her ass hurt! She gave out a little cry of pain. Severus heard the loud bang, without delay he entered the room, he saw her lying on the floor rolling from side to side, he went over to her side, she had her eyes close shut tightly.

"Hermione, Hermione look at me, are you all right." She heard him; halfhearted she opened her tearful eyes and nodded.

"What the hell was that?" She laughed between sobs.

"I fell on my ass." He closed his eyes and laughed heartedly. She stood up and so did him.

"I'm up, happy?" he looked at her up and down, those boxers drove him fanatical, keeping his face straight he nodded. She blushed as she noticed him looking her up and down.

She went to the washroom and got ready, he waited impatiently, finally she came out wearing ripped jeans and a low cut black shirt. She did a little twirl, giggling she came over to his side.

"Shall we go?"

"My God! You take long!"

"Whatever, at least I look pretty." He rolled his eyes.

"Are you saying I look...ugly?" she asked mockingly.

"Not at all madam."

"Good." She laughed, the both left.

They reached her lab and entered, she had been working on a difficult potion, it was suppose to unable people from using the cruciatus curse, if they achieved it, it would be an immense help, but it still could explode at any moment, it was a great risk they were taking, but I guess it was worth it, that's what Hermione kept telling herself over and over again. They thought for a moment, looking at the potion, which sat in front of them.

"I guess, we could try 5 drops of unicorn's blood." He liked the way she treated him as a colleague, not as an assistant, she thought for a moment and nodded.

"Worth a try." He pulled her backwards a little by the hand, she felt hot at his touch. Stepping back for precaution he waved his wand and the already counted five drops floating across the room, it finally hovered over the potion, both of them taking a deep breath she closed her eyes, he waved his wand once again, and the ingredient fell into the potion. Hermione waited for the worse, unicorn's blood was a highly dangerous and a ferocious ingredient, not using it properly and you were gone. He still held her hand in his, he was nervous, afraid of hurting her, afraid of making her disappointed. A minute passed and nothing happened, she looked at him, her eyes shined with what seemed like happiness and fulfilled hopes. He took a step forward, she did the same, he realized he was still holding her hand, he removed his hand rapidly, and yet not in a harsh way. They were now about a foot from the cauldron. Severus' hopes begun to increase, then for a split of a second he felt the magic explosion in the air, something was wrong, the potion begun to bubble, pulling her down insensitively they both fell on the floor just in time, it exploded extraordinarily, they rolled themselves as far from it as they could get, Snape was on top of her, both his hands were covering her face, his face was on her left shoulder, the last thing either of them wanted was a burned face. She shook underneath him, he groaned, did she notice what she was doing to him? Hermione was incredibly scared, an explosion had never taken place with her, but it was so fast and her head burned terribly.

After it was all over, he looked down at the girl beneath him, her face was pale and fuck! She had a deep cut on her forehead, she looked up at him waiting for safety once again, and she hadn't been that scared since Luicius attacked her. Getting up he reached down, grabbing her by the waist he lifted her, she balanced herself by holding tightly on his shoulders. She closed her eyes and stumbled towards him he held her securely, she reached up to her forehead with her hand, the cut hurt so roughly. She paled immediately; he took her hands away from her face. He looked closely at it, not so bad, taking his wand out he murmured a healing spell, she could feel his hot breath against her lips, they were mere inches away from each other, her breathing became shallow once again, realizing what ever she thought she felt Hermione stepped back, he didn't notice, or at least pretended not to.

Walking over to the experiment she let out a sad sigh, it was worth a try she kept telling herself. He walked over to her side, he felt responsible for destroying everything, and turning to him she gave him an encouraging smile.

"Oh, well, we'll try something else tomorrow." He nodded, they left.
