Author's Note: I want to thank every one who reviewed the last chapter. I especially want to thank West Dean for leaving me one as well. It really meant a lot to me. Anyways I will stop my rambling and get on with the story. (grins) Sorry it took me so long to post this...but I have no excuse expect I get distracted very easily.

Chapter 17
Marty was completely drained after the encounter and if it hadn't been for Snape guiding her towards the dungeons she would have gotten lost. She was still in the sheer robes and she thanked what ever gods that no students were about. They reached his chambers and Snape took out his wand and removed the wards opening the door.

He let Marty go in first shutting the door behind them resetting the wards, Snape also added a strong silencing charm to the room as well. Marty gave him a funny look. He said was " We both need the rest and I for one don't feel like being bothered for at least a few days." She nodded and yawned. "Alright, my angel its to bed with you." He said with a smirk as he gently took her hand and led her towards the bedroom. "Will you be joining me?" She asked hopefully. He looked over his shoulder and gave her a smile "Well of course I will be joining you..." He paused before saying

"In more ways then one." He then wrapped his arms around her for a moment pulling her closer giving her a searing kiss that left Marty speechless for once and Snape laughed as he opened his bedroom door pulling her in with him.

Two days had past with Marty feeling much better but still confused about certain things. She had received a note from Dumbledore early that morning asking her to lay low until things could be sorted out with the Ministry which she agreed to do. She had wondered how her friends were doing but she was told nothing at this point, and was hoping they were alright.

Snape had left that morning to go teach his classes and Marty found herself wandering into his private library to read a book. It was a large and comfortable room with a black leather couch with cherry oak end tables on each side.A roaring fire was crackling merrily in the stone carved fireplace making the room warm and cosy in the drafty dungeons. She noticed a soft silver and green run covering the floor. The shelves were filled with books, wizard and muggle literature alike, Marty was thrilled be able to be in here and picked out a book.

This is was where Snape found her that afternoon after his last class, sitting on the sofa with a soft throw green and silver blanket covering her legs that were tucked underneath her reading a Stephen King novel. She looked up and smiled "Rough day?" she asked taking note of the scowl on his face. "Indeed another day of teaching inept students who don't care to learn and a damn know it all who seems to irritate me even more." He sneered. Marty's face was neutral but her eyes gave her away they were sparkling with amusement.

Snape just scowled at her but it didn't phase Marty much and she went back to reading her book. "Enjoying the book?" He asked as browsed the self for a book to read. "Yes, I am, I have always enjoyed reading Mr. King's books." "You do know that he is a wizard?" He asked as he picked out a book and sat down on the sofa beside her. Marty was quiet surprised "Really, that is..." She smiled "Wicked." Snape just shook his head in amusement and kissed her on the cheek "You, my angel have hung around muggles far too long." Marty laughed as he opened up his book and began to read.

They were spending a pleasant afternoon reading when there was a popping sound in the room. Marty looked up from her book and saw Dobby standing there looking rather nervous, Snape sneered at the house elf "What is it, Dobby?" Dobby looked at Snape with those big eyes of his and stated "Dobby is sorry to bother but Dobby has message for Misses." "Well give it to her and be gone!" Snape snapped. Dobby trotted over to Marty and handed her the piece of parchment that was clutched in his hands. "Thank you Dobby." Marty replied with a smile and made the poor elf almost faint. "You are most welcome Miss." Dobby replied and disappeared with another pop.

Marty opened up the fold parchment it was from Dumbledore:

Martintha,

I request that you and Severus please join me in my office after dinner. There is much that

needs to be discussed. If you must come to the Great Hall please be advised to use a

Glamour Charm.

Albus

"Well what did the note say." Snape said trying to keep the anxiousness out of his voice.

Marty folded the paper back up remaining calm even though she was shakening inside and couldn't figure out why, "Albus has requested our presence in his office after dinner he also said that if I must make an appearance in the Great Hall that I should use a Glamour Charm, which I don't really like having to do." Snape nodded "I understand but it's necessary for your protection until those dunderheads at the Ministry realize you are innocent, so we will go the Hall for dinner and then we can go see the Headmaster so we can clear up this whole mystery and get on with our lives."

Marty agreed and she tried to get back to reading her book but she found she just couldn't concentrate at all 'What am I going to do once this whole mess is cleared up? Do I stay here at Hogwarts with Severus or do I have to leave if the Ministry doesn't leave me alone?' She was so lost in thought she didn't hear Snape set his book down on a near by table and place his hand on hers "Something troubling you?" He asked knowing damn well what it was but wanted to her it from her own lips. She snapped out of her gaze and turned her head slightly to look at him "I was just thinking about what is going to happen at the meeting later, and what do next." She stated. "I understand Martintha this is not going to be easy but believe me "we" will get through this together and sort this thing out. As to what you will do next that is not for me to say you will have to decide that on your own." Snape replied although this face was neutral his heart was breaking cause he had a feeling she would leave him again and that this whole time they had been together was nothing but a farce.

Before Marty could agree or disagree the clock on the wall chimed that it was time for dinner "We should get to the Great Hall, Martintha. I know you don't want to do this but you will have use a Glamour Charm on yourself to hide your true identity." Snape said getting up off the couch. Marty nodded standing up as well and casually withdrew her wand from her sleeve and stood up. With a wave she changed her eyes to a smoldering sapphire blue and her hair changed from her normal black to a wavy red. "Hows that?" she asked. Snape's breath was taken away at the the site before him "As beautiful as always my angel, but personally I like you as yourself more." She smiled she also changed the colour of her robes from black to a bottle green colour. "Very Slytherin my dear." Snape replied with a chuckle. "Well, I've always liked green and besides I must stay true to my house colours after all." She said. "Indeed, shall we my dear." Snape said offering his arm and she accepted it soon leaving his rooms.

As they walked up from the dungeons they could hear this cackle of laughter "What was that?" Marty asked. "Oh that was just Peeves a damn annoyance." Snape said with a tone that meant he didn't like him. At that moment Peeves made an appearance and stared at Snape and a lady he had never seen before, a evil grin formed on the poltergiest lips "Well, well, Professor got himself a fare maiden. Now why would a beauty such as this want to hang around a greasy old git." Snape was about to reply when Marty simply looked at the polterguiest and said "Peeves, if you don't bugger off I'm going to do something extreamly nasty to you and I can guarantee you will not like it." Peeves started cackling "You can not harm me you witchy witch, I can do whatever I likes to you and I shall." A smirk formed on Marty's face that Snape knew meant she had something up her sleeve.

He wasn't going to let her do anything at first but then decided that what ever she does Peeves would have asked for it. "Peeves I would suggest very strongly that you leave our site at once or I will not be held responsible for what this lady does to you." Snape said that was in a dangerous whisper but was loud enough for him to hear,but of course he didn't listen and Marty jolted Peeves with a little lighting bolt from her hands which send Peeves rocketing in the other direction cursing all the way.

"That was very sneaky."Snape comment as they continued to walk towards the Great Hall. Marty simply smiled and said nothing. They got to the door of the Great Hall with Snape holding the door open for her as she entered, the noise in the hall stopped once again as the students gaped at her with wonder. She just shook her head and letting Snape lead her to the Head Table, she was greatly disappointed that her friends were not there and wondering how they were doing. She wanted to ask Dumbledore about them but thought better of it. 'Better not blow my cover' she thought.
"Its so good of you two to join us." Dumbledore said with a warm smile. "Thank you Albus." Snape replied as he pulled out a chair for Marty and then took the seat beside her.

Although dinner Marty was picking at her food,she couldn't eat her stomach was full of knots. She felt someone watching her and turned to find Minerva staring at her intently, this was making her very uncomfortable 'Would that woman please stop staring at me, yeesh.' She felt a hand who she knew belonged to Snape's on her thigh, he was massaging it very slowly "Is something troubling you, Ms. King?" He hated using that name but for her protection he had to use it in public. "Yes, I'm beginning to think it was a bad idea to come to the Great Hall for dinner, I can't eat and Minerva keeps staring at me."

Snape peered around Marty and Minerva was indeed starting, which seemed to him with a very confused look on her face. 'Yes, Minerva is staring at her, wonder why she looks so confused...I could get Martintha out of the Great Hall and back to the dungeons. This could work out for my advantage.' He thought smiling inwardly as images filtered through his mind of what he would like to be doing to Marty right now instead of being in here. With those lewd thoughts he felt a stiring in his loins and his pants were getting a bit tight in the front. "Why don't we just go back to the dungeons until the meeting?" He suggested hoping she would be agreeable cause he wanted her, he was tempted to take her right there on the Head table; students be damned but he had to control himself.

Marty smiled and slowly brought her hand onto his lap moving it up a little to give the bugle in his pants a light squeeze, causing Snape to gasp slightly. "Minx." He whispered "You will pay for that." Marty whispered back "I certainly hope so." with that she removed her hand and stood up preparing to leave the Great Hall with Snape who also stood trying to hide his arousal behind his billowing robes. They manged to sneak out the teacher's enterance but half way to Snape's chambers He couldn't wait any longer, she was teasing him with her sensual walk in front him making him even more aroused.

Marty smiled to herself as she teased him mercifully, she knew she shouldn't be doing it but she couldn't help it. He made her feel things that no man have ever made her feel, her body was on fire and yearned for his touch. Without warning Snape came up behind her, grabbing her pulling her back towards his lean body grinding his erection into her arse. "Anxious are we?" she asked in a innocent voice but her body was not acting so innocently as she pushed right back against him her nipples were already hard from this game they have been playing. "I didn't give you permision to speak, my pet." Snape growled. "All I want to hear from you is how good I am going to make you feel; I can't wait til we get to my chambers so I must have you now." "Do you understand, my pet?" He asked.

Marty nodded that she understood, he then spun her around so she was facing him pulling her closer into a sensual kiss and continued to grind his erection now wedge very nicely between her thighs. This was driving them both crazy, Snape could feel her nipples burning into his clothes. He wanted to feel her soft silky skin against his but first he need to rid her of a few clothes.

They broke the kiss;Snape quickly unbutton her robes revealing her breast encased in a white lace bra and matching knickers, placeing a hand on said items "Evanesco" and her underclothes disappeared leaving her bare. She could feel her nipples puckering up even more as the chilly in the air of the hall caressed her heated skin.

Snape looked at her with appreciation "Beautiful" was all he said as he pushed her up against the nearest wall, leaning forward and captured her right nipple in his mouth sucking and laving it with his tougue making Marty drunk with desire. He then switched to her left breast and payed the same lavish attention to its twin, Marty couldn't stand it her skin was on fire, her knees felt like jelly, she was getting more excited by the minute.

The sounds of her moans made Snape smile to himself knowing he, and only he, was the one who could do this to her.

While he was playing with her breast, his right hand slide down her body to her heated core, he could smell her arousal. He slide one finger inside of her moving it in and out making her gasp and groan with excitement; He then added a second finger while his thumb gently caressed her little bundle of nerves causing her hips to jerk forward.

He let her nipple slide out of his mouth with a wet popping sound "You are so wet my pet, you are practically dripping on to my finger." He then removed his fingers Marty was disappointed until she watch him his eyes filled with lust and naked desire bring them to his mouth and licked them clean. Marty moaned at the sight she had never seen anything so erotic. "Sweet like honey." Snape stated.
He teased her for a few moments then took pity on her and made sweet love to her against the wall. By the time Dumbledore and the other teachers came through the hall they were on their way back to the dungeons.

They stayed down there until it was time to make their way to the Headmaster's Office. Marty was relaxed but she was still a bundle of nerves wondering what happen to her friends among other things. Snape was no better he was worried about what her decision would be once everything is cleared up. 'I want her to stay but its up to her and I will not force her.'

Marty senses he was as much a bundle of nerves as she was, tentively reached out and squeezed his hand to reasure him. They approached the gargoyle guarding the Headmaster's Office "Chocolate Frogs" Snape intoned, the gargoyle sprang to life jumping to one side revealing the winding staircase.

They rode it to until they reached the heavy oak door, before one of them knocked a voice said "Enter." Marty took a deep breath exhaling slowly looked at Snape nodding that she was ready to enter.

He opened the door letting her go in first, He then heard Marty gasp as she walked into the office...
