Disclaimer: Not mine. You REALLY think I'd be here if they were? No, I'd be off killing little kids! BWAHAHA…

Summary: Hermione and Severus have been set up one too many times. So, they plan on getting their revenge on the Hogwarts staff, but is that how fate will see it?

Warnings: Rated for a reason people! If you shouldn't, or don't want to be reading this, press the back button. Right. NOW.

Authors note: Hello my pretties! How are we all? All good I hope. Now, I like totally stole this idea from another fanfic, you should read it. But you'll have to find it for yourself, I forgot the name and author. Doop dee doo. So, basic plot is someone else's (curse them and their brilliant plot bunnies! All mine does is hump my leg!) but I changed the story line, so don't YELL at me. Okay, you can yell at me, but not too loud, I'm meant to be something called 'studying'. Peh. Studying.

Hermione, Severus and most other characters are very OOC. Don't blame me, they fit better that way.

So sit back and read the totally-not-mine-but-kinda-is-don't-yell-at-me-story. Hope you like.

(Now can someone PLEASE help me get this plot bunny off my leg!)

Chapter 6

DUET: (noun) Pair who associates with one another, two performers or singers who perform together.

Severus left his private rooms about an hour after Hermione had left to go and organise some class plans. Before he left, he quickly brushed his teeth. When he looked in the mirror, he looked… fresher, somehow. More rejuvenated.

He walked down to his potions classroom, which was deeper into the dungeons than his rooms.

Once there, he started working on his plans, and continued steadily until it was past noon.

His only interruption through the whole day was a knock at the door.

'Busy!' he called sharply through the door.

'Bullshit. I know all your doing is class plans, now let me in.' came Hermione's haughty reply.

Severus sighed.

'Come in…' He called.

'It's locked! Severus, what are you playing at? Let me in!' she shouted, banging on the door. Severus heaved out of his chair and walked over to the door. 'Severus, stop being such a bastard and let me in! You-' Snape had opened the door at the precise minute Hermione had been heaving against it; The result- Hermione falling straight onto Snape. Normally Snape would have been able to hold her weight, but he hadn't been expecting it, so they both crashed to the floor.

'Oooph!… Urgh, sorry…' muttered Hermione, getting up from where she had falling onto Severus.

'You all right there?' he asked, voice positively dripping with sarcasm as he got up from the floor.

Hermione had had enough attitude from Snape. Seven years of it while she was at school, and now, when she was a professor, he still served it to her. So, she did the only thing a self-respecting witch would do in the circumstances;

She slapped him.

'What the fuck was that for?' he asked, holding his face, where a satisfyingly red hand shape was already forming.

Hermione didn't answer, merely walked over to his desk. She perched on the edge of it an said simply 'I got the song.'

'Joy.' He said, walking over to his seat, still tenderly touching his face.

'Oi! You were the one that wanted to sing!' she said, turning to him.

'Me? I never said I wanted to sing! You wanted to do this stupid contest in the first place, I merely said I could sing, When YOU asked me. So don't go blaming me for this bloody mess!' he said, anger bubbling beneath his cool exposure.

'How dare you! I try to help you on this one thing! And what do you do? Blow it back in my face! And doing this whole engagement thing was my idea, which I see you had no problem going along with!' she yelled, getting back to her feet, her face turning red.

'I didn't ask you to sleep with me!' thundered Severus. You're in DEEP SHIT Severus.

'And you don't think I haven't regretted that every single minute since then?' she said, tears formed in her eyes. Where the HELL did that come from? You didn't mean that!

'Well, maybe you should just go then.' He said softly, immediately regretting it.

And go she did. She stormed out of the dungeons, slamming the door behind her.

'There'll be no living with her after this…' he sighed.

(ducks chair) I know, short chapter. Sorry.

And I had to steal that line from Captain Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Just had to. (haha, love that movie!)

Will update ASAP. Maybe even again today, depends where I go with the next chapter.

But in the mean time REVIEW!
