"Sophia." Snape whispered into her ear, and then kissed her neck. She smiled. Definitely liking this. "Sophia." He repeated, tucking her hair behind her ear and touching his forehead to hers, staring deep into her eyes.
"Sophia Lennox, wake up" He said. She frowned and blinked hard, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in an office. Looking straight into the eyes of a very gorgeous man. She was just about to ask who he was when the memory of yesterday flushed into her head.
"Morning." He said, looking at her and frowning. "Why are you sleeping in here" He asked.
"Oh, I tried to sleep in my room, but I heard a noise, then I went into the loungey-room thingy, and I heard a LOUDER noise in the bathroom. I ran in here and I must have dozed off."

"What do you think it was" He asked, casting a glare around the room.
"Oh, I think I must have imagined it, you know, paranoid. " She laughed nervously, yawned and stretched. He noticed as her arms went up, so did her shirt, and he saw a few inches of of her middle. He glanced at her shorts.
'They're hardy even shorts, really, they're more like underwear.' He mused.

She suddenly realised what she was wearing and stood with a yelp, knocking the chair over. She stood behind the desk, obviously shy about her body. He smirked. He hoped Lupin hadn't tried to touch her, he would definitely not like that. No, sir, not one bit. He had already mentally laid claim to this new, pretty girl who obviously likes him too. Lupin tries to take her away, and he will take Lupin's FACE away. He smirked again at the thought.
"What" Sophia said, crossing her arms, and pushing her boobs up WAY too much for anybody not to notice. Snape's eyes went there instantly, and she gasped, putting her arms by her sides at once. Suddenly she had a jolt of pain in her shoulder and she groaned. Snape rushed to her side immediately.
"Is this where the werewolf bit you" He asked, purposely putting his lips close to her neck.
"Mmm." She replied, unconsciously (sp?) tipping her head to the side to give him room. He chuckled deeply in her ear.
"Breakfast started ten minutes ago, go get changed so we can at least catch some coffee." He said, knowing that he can make anything sound sexy, and he said 'coffee' in such a way, he knew she'd be melting inside.
"Mmm." She moaned slightly, and he almost kissed her.
'Too soon" His mind yelled. He gave her a little push in the direction of the door and she kept walking.

Soon she came out in a black muggle dress that reached to her knees, was sleeveless and had a small dipping neckline. She didn't have anything else to wear that wasn't jeans and a singlet, so she thought this would do. Snape offered her his arm and they headed to breakfast.

The reached the hall in a decent time, Snape hadn't walked too fast, but Sophia had decidedly walked faster than usual. She calculated that she had had only around 3 hours sleep last night, but she had the feeling it was less. Her back was aching horribly as she took her seat at the high table. She looked over the room at all the students.

'Wow,' She thought, 'So many kids...' To her left, sat Snape, and to her right sat another professor who looked about her age.
"Hey" The young woman said as Sophia made eye contact. She shoved her hand into Sophia's and shook vigorously. "I'm Tanya, Tanya Rundle. I'm the old Muggle Studies teacher. Well, actually, previously I was both the Muggle Studies professor AND the Ancient Runes professor, but now since I'm getting ready to have this bub" She patted her tummy, indicating she was pregnant"Albus has offered to lighten my load a bit, and" Her voice crept down to a whisper"Seeing as you will be free all the time except for around the full moon" Her voice came back up to the lively tone from before"Then you'll be PERFECT to take over Muggle studies, since it's such a small subject, being only taken by certain senior years." She finished her speech with a huge smile

"Uh, thanks" Replied Sophia with a small smile and Tanya nodded and turned to talk to the lady to her right with the short grey hair.
"She's a bit too happy to see you, you see" Severus spoke from her left, she turned and he looked her up and down, quickly. He assumed she wouldn't noticed, but she did. She prided herself on being extremely observant.

"Oh" She replied, then mentally kicked herself for not impressing him with a more intelligent answer. Hang on, did she WANT to impress him?
"Well, since she became pregnant with a ministry worker's child, she's been on her feet ALL the time, teaching, and visiting the mediwitch and her husband. It's been stressful for her. She was worried about the baby's wellbeing. And you coming here has been a weight off her shoulders you see." He smiled slightly, and Sophia swore she heard a few students gasp. Instantly Snape's face went to this horrible, deep, angry glare, and SHE gasped at the site of it. He turned slowly and looked across the hall and all students who had been looking in their direction quickly found their food ALOT more interesting. He chuckled under hs breath, and only she heard it. Oh, she hoped she would never get on the bad side of him. But still...
'So powerful, so dark and handsome and.. oh, better stop staring at him!' She quickly gripped her cup of coffee with both hands and stared straight ahead, hoping Snape hadn't noticed her staring with a dreamy look in her eyes. Oh, but when has Snape never NOT noticed something. He felt a smug-like emotion run through his head. Such a pretty girl like her watching him with that look in her eye. He turned to talk to her, and instead made eye contact with Albus. He smiled brightly at Snape, and Snape nodded in return. Then, he flicked his eyes towards Sophia. Snape knew exactly what he meant, but he gave him a confused look anyway, just to frustrate the old man.
"Sophia, when are your classes today" Snape asked her, glaring at Madam Hooch who had just started beaming in their direction. Tanya answered him for her.
"She has one class today, after lunch. Here" Tanya handed her a peice of paper that said 'APRIL 1st - SEPTEMBER, 2005.' "I drew it up last night. It starts today" Her voice lowered"I'll take a few of your classes around the full moon if you're not up to it. On those days you can just give them busy work while you rest. You'll notice you really only have about 2 classes in that time, so it won't be too hard to miss a few if you need it." She beamed a reassuring smile at Sophia and reached next to her chair and dropped a pile of notes on Sophia's lap.
"These are notes for the classes, I drew up all your lesson plans. I know, I know, you're a muggle and can handle it, but you know, I'm really anal about these things..." She giggled. Tanya stood and smiled at Snape and Sophia, and walked out touching Albus on the shoulder and whispering something to him on the way. Albus smirked and nodded.

Snape stood also and offered Sophia help to find her way back to the rooms. She nodded and followed him as he swooped out of the hall, students all whispering behind him.

'Poor guy,' Sophia thought, 'None of the kids like him, and he has to be all angry and brooding and sexy.. I mean, domineering all the time.' Snape suddenly stopped and Sophia ran into the back of him and fell back very ungracefully on her bum with an "oof". Luckily she held onto her notes tightly and they didn't fly everywhere.

"Oh. Perhaps you should pay attention to where we are walking, hm, Miss. Lennox" He sneered.
'What's gotten into him all of a sudden. So I ran into him... Like he ever cared before.' She glared at him as he offered her a hand up. He lent down to her height.
"I apologize for being so harsh. There were students down the hall watching me, and I can't let them see me being weak. I have a reputation to uphold." He chuckled, and her knees felt weak. In all truthfulness, she didn't hear a word he just said, all she knew is his hot breath was on her neck and ear, and she couldn't think straight if you PAID her.
"Your rooms." He said and motioned with his arm. "I trust you will find the hall for lunch"
"Oh, yes." She managed to cough out"Yes, I will see you at lunch..." Snape nodded and headed back the way they came, presumably to his classroom. She walked in and sat down with the notes in her lap. She leant back and tucked her head in between the cushions and closed her eyes. She slowly drifted away into sleep.

RR! NOW NOW NOW!
