Chapter Four:

Dinner

"Luna, honestly, he's going to think we're stalking him," Hermione said as she followed Luna underneath Harry's invisibility cloak. They were going to spy on Snape who had left dinner early. Hermione would not have agreed to go but Harry said he would not trust Luna alone with his father's heirloom so he wanted someone sane to go with her at least.

"Don't worry, Mione. He won't even see us," Luna assured her sane friend.

"In here!" Hermione dragged Luna out of the way when Filch ambled angrily down the hall with Mrs. Norris in his arms.

"Look there!" Luna blurted when she spotted Snape walking down the hallway close behind Filch. Both men stopped and looked around frantically for the source of the noise.

"It's probably Potter again," Filch grumbled to Professor Snape. The Professor just groaned.

"Come now," he commanded the caretaker. Luna pointed to them and motioned Hermione to follow.

"What is it?" Filch asked the Professor.

"Some of the potion from earlier spilled and I would like it very much so if you would clean it… being the caretaker and all," Professor Snape said with an annoyed grin as he pointed into his classroom. Filch grumbled and walked in before the Professor walked off.

"Now where the Hell is he going?" Luna muttered as she and her friend followed, fumbling madly under the cloak. They followed until the Professor swung into a door and slammed it shut.

"Damn it!" Luna cursed as she pulled the cloak off.

"Luna, shhh…" Hermione said as she slid the cloak back on herself, trying to force it over the defiant Luna's head.

"May I help you?" The Professor interrogated as he opened the door. Luna was still standing cloak-less. Hermione was gone…

"Yes actually," Luna said in a very professional voice. "I was wondering if you could answer my question now." Professor Snape's mouth fell open before he closed it and shook his head with a sigh.

"Only if Miss Granger goes away," he said with a mocking glare towards nothingness. Luna giggled when Hermione pulled the cloak off.

"How did he know," she muttered to herself as she walked off with a wave. Luna waved back.

"It's just extra credit!" The Professor shouted when Hermione giggled rather audibly.

"Alright," said the Professor, turning rather rapidly towards his favourite student. "Come in," he said motioning her into the room. It was his office. The dark scary office that many people feared… Luna loved it. She wondered if it was her love for the teacher… or if she was just too stupid not to be afraid…

"So," Luna pulled the vial she had kept out of her pocket.

"You kept that thing?" He asked her as he pulled one out of his own robes. "The newer the better," he said. Luna smiled.

"Now, you remember how one is to use it to increase physical energy?" He asked. Luna nodded. "So now here is the answer to your question…" he opened the vial and Luna half expected Sirius to bound in again. He didn't and she was a little sad about that and yet a bit happy because she was finally getting her answer.

"Yes," she said with a smile and Professor Snape looked curiously at her.

"Well… I must have someone to demonstrate on," he said and then couldn't believe he had said it. Luna grinned widely.

"Well, I am the only other person here besides you… and you know…" Luna smiled and moved her hands around the room as if to show that no one else was there. Professor Snape looked around as if to confirm this fact.

"You know I could get fired for this," he said to her with a playful grin, which she had never known could possess his sharp yet scary features.

"I know," she said with her own playful grin. "So you're a teacher, how about a cloaking spell or something. I mean… I can use a birth control charm I read in a Kama Sutra book for witches." Professor Snape smacked his forehead.

"That's not exactly what I meant," he said.

"Not exactly?" She asked with another grin.

"Well you see, Luna, this stuff is very powerful when used in this sense," he informed her and she continued to stare hopefully at him. "And it can result in… that." Luna snickered.

"I know, that's why I wanted you to show me," she said. Professor Snape's eyes took on a confused demeanour. "Why aren't you punishing me, Professor?" She asked, suddenly losing her devious edge. Professor Snape looked at her with a rather content tint in his eyes.

"Because you're not like any of the other students, Luna," he said. Luna snorted.

"So the only reason is because I'm a demon, not a witch," she said with a groan. The Professor shook his head with a rather genial laugh that she again never knew existed in his seemingly empty heart.

"No… you're not just a completely different species… you're a completely different girl," he said as he opened and closed the vial in his hand. She smiled warmly wondering who suddenly turned up the heat.

"Why thank you," she said quietly as she looked at the vial. She felt her cheeks going red and wanted to hit herself for making this look like a mushy love movie moment. The Professor nodded and walked closer to her holding out his hand with the vial in it. Luna felt her heart pounding.

"Thank you again," she said as she took the vial. "What do I do?" Professor Snape sighed, looked down, and smiled as if he were about to burst into insane laughter. Luna felt so warm seeing this. In the yearbook, the first few days of school… she had never seen (or heard of) the Potions Master smiling… unless it was for evil purposes. But now… it seemed warm and happy. He looked back up at her as if trying to retain his laughter.

"Alright, open it," he said, purposely making her wait. He figured the longer she'd have to wait the more enjoyable it would be. She opened it. "Now inhale it," he said as he motioned up to her face. She breathed in deeply before lifting the vial to her nose and sniffing it deeply. It had a very nice, rosy scent to it… it would make sense since there was MintRose in it… She suddenly felt the coldest yet warmest chill she had ever experienced flow through her lower stomach.

"O-oh my," she muttered as he gently took the vial from her hand. Her vision blurred for a moment… She wasn't sure what exactly he was doing but she saw him lift the vial to his own face and she was pretty sure he did exactly what she had just done. She smiled and walked up to him. She stumbled drunkenly and he caught her.

"Alright there?" He asked as he placed the vial down on his desk. She nodded and giggled with the same drunken tint.

"I'm fine," she said as he held her tight and waved his wand. When she looked next they were in a bedroom. She assumed it was his flat in the dungeons.

"I think you inhaled a bit too much, you are supposed to keep it at least an inch from you nose," he said with a laugh as he laid her down on the bed. She giggled again and just let whatever happened next happen… whatever it was… it was pleasurable…

…………………………………………………………

"Oh my," Luna muttered to herself when her eyes opened the next morning. She stretched and felt her bare chest hit the cool air of… the dungeons? She sat up and looked around. She was indeed in the dungeons… with Professor Snape peacefully asleep next to her. She snickered and decided she would never complain… She wondered if anything actually happened. When she glanced and saw her skirt lying carelessly on the floor she decided something must have… She looked at the teacher sleeping serenely next to her and suddenly began to put violin music in her mind to his flowing breath. She gasped when he began to stir. She was wondering if he would remember anything because of the potion… if he'd be angry… if he would punish her and never want to see her again. She did not want to be his student…

"Hmm," the Professor shook his head gently and reached up to push his shiny black hair from his face. Luna licked her lips and drew her usual courage up as she leaned over and laid her head on his chest… which was much nicer looking than she had expected it to be. She kind of expected him to be skin and bones or not half as much muscle as he was. He wasn't perfect, but who was? He did have a strange wisp of a mark on his arm that drew Luna's curiosity for a moment before the Professor's eyes opened.

"Mhm, Luna?" He tilted his head sleepily and sat up, holding her to him as he came.

"You remember?" She asked nervously as she clung to him.

Crush nothing… she thought, I'm in love…

"Of couse—agh!" He glanced over at the pocket watch, which was situated on the bedside table. It read ten past nine. Class had started ten minutes ago.

…………………………………………………………………………

"I wonder why Luna was not at breakfast," Harry said worriedly to Hermione as they sat in potions class wondering as well where the Hell their 'never-late' teacher was.

"Yeah, do you think she's okay? I mean… should we sneak out before Snape gets here and check out the hospital wing?" Ron perked up. Hermione looked oddly at them. She wondered too. But then again… the last time she saw Luna was late the previous day when Professor Snape had shooed her away. She suddenly had the sickening thought that the Professor had murdered her friend and gone to dump the body in the Forbidden Forest.

"Let's go!" She cried as she dragged her two friends out. The entire class began whispering about how deep of trouble they would be in if Professor Snape returned soon.

……………………………………………………………………………

"I must get to class!" The Potions Master shouted as he ran around collecting his things, now fully dressed in his long, black robes. He suddenly stopped and looked at Luna who was sitting, still clothes-less, on his bed staring at him with big eyes. He sighed and looked down again with the same smile on his face as the previous evening. "Luna," he said as he looked at her. "Why don't you stay here, I can tell your other professors that you were not feeling well so I took you here to treat you," he concocted. She smiled brilliantly as he handed her a sheet of paper. "Just finish this, it is the homework for tonight," he explained as she pulled a quill off his bedside table and immediately began to write… still in bed… still with no clothes.

"Thank you Professor!" She said as she smiled warmly and continued to imagine the sweet Celtic violin music as she did her homework. She giggled as the Professor opened the door ready to bolt out to class.

"Luna," he said as he stopped and turned to her once more. She stopped writing and looked up expecting him to say something along the lines of, "get out of my bed and put some clothes on…"

"Stay here, will you?" She felt her eyes widening as she nodded.

"Yeah, I will," she said with another brilliant smile. He smiled too.

"And don't mention this… to anyone," he impressed and she nodded to that too.

"I won't… have a nice day Professor," she said as he again began to walk out the door… and again he stopped.

"Oh and Luna…"
"Yes?"

"When we're not in class… call me Severus."
