I'll Take You On

Severus Snape stared in shock at the now closed bedroom door. He never thought she actually cared for him. Well she sure had a weird way of showing it. He turned on his heel and headed to the door.

Kimberly Ara laughed as her friend Sierra finished the story she had been telling. Somehow one of the first years had gotten lost and wound up in a broom closet and Peeves had terrified him so much he wouldn't leave. The girls were so lost in thought they didn't see the figure walk up behind Kimberly. She was startled as she felt arms go around her waist, and let out a small shriek. She turned slightly to her left, expecting to see Lucius instead stared into the dark eyes of Severus Snape.

"Are you lost Snape?" asked Sierra, flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulder.

"Who said you could come up and join our group." asked Malicia crossing her arms, glaring at Snape.

"Oh you know me ladies, I couldn't stand another moment without seeing my wonderful, yet beautiful girlfriend here." Severus said nuzzling Kimberly's hair. He felt her stiffen in his arms, while the other girls didn't seem to notice.

"Severus you must be dreaming if YOU think you would ever be able to date any of us." said Sierra glaring at Severus. "Right Kimberly." Kim looked off to the side and didn't say a word to the girls

"Kimberly? Please, tell me this is a joke and you aren't dating this sleezoid Snape!" Exclaimed Malicia, gasping at her friend in shock.

Kim put on a huge false smile," No, Malicia it isn't a joke. Severus and I are dating."

"Yes ladies that is right, and we are very happy are we not." Severus said nibbling on Kimberly's ear.

"Yes, very much so darling." she said with her false smile still on, making half of her face start to twitch from having to hold a fake smile on her face.

"Well as much as I would love to stay and chat, but I can not for I have to get to class. See you at lunch sweetie." Severus spun her around, and kissed her deeply on the lips. Snape tuned and walked away smirking as he went. The girls just stood there looking after him, their jaws hanging to the floor. Kimberly finally turned around the face the girls, her face a deep shade of red. Finally Malicia was the first the speak

"Kimberly! Oh my god, you.. you can't be serious! I mean you can't possible be dating him can you?"

"Malicia don't even start!" she snarled at her friend. Sighing she shook her head and said quietly. "Come on girls, I guess I have some explaining to do." Kimberly and the other girls walked outside, and she told them of the conversation with Severus last night.

"Humph if I were you Kimberly, I'd tell him it was off, and then just go to Lucius." said Sierra.

"I can't Si, If Lucius finds out, I know for sure it would get back to daddy, and I would be in so much trouble. I just didn't think Severus would go that far."

"Yeah, he's enjoying playing the part of some one boyfriend to much. He wouldn't want to ruin that." said Sierra with a smirk.

"Well maybe if you just did your homework to begin with Kim, you wouldn't be so behind and failing, and you might understand it more." said Malicia.

"Yeah thanks for the support guys." Kim said sarcastically.

"Well maybe he wont be that bad." Said Sierra after a moments time.

"Yeah that's almost like saying Malfoy is the sweetest man alive." said Malicia sarcastically.

"Not a word to ANYone about this bet, or I will never speak to you two again!." said Kimberly.

"We'll just tell everyone you must have fallen on your head or something." said Seirra with a shrug of her shoulders. The three girls laughed, and walked inside to the Great Hall for lunch.

Over the next few hours it got around that Severus Snape was dating Kimberly Ara. And every chance Severus got, he'd be right there sneaking up behind her and putting his arms around her, or finding some way to be close to her. The rumors of Snape and Ara had died down with in a couple of weeks, no one seemed to care anymore. Kim still had her numerous friends, who all pretended Severus was just a figment of their imaginations, and that she really wasn't dating him. Before they knew it Christmas was only a week away.

"I don't see why you still have to date him Kimberly. It's been almost 4 months, and you are passing Potions. I mean you are helping him with them most of the time. And John Santo who is the keeper for our Quidditch team is single again. And we all know he fancies you." said Mal who was sitting on Kimberly's bed on Saturday morning.

"It's really not that bad you guys, I hardly even notice he is there." Kim said brushing her hair away from her face. "I've kinda gotten use to having the greasy haired git around. Not that it's really that greasy, I mean... it's from standing over some of those potions..." She rammbled on, before cursing herself and stopped. After a few moments of silence a small squeal could be heard.

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Seirra, she gasped and started to laugh. "I can't believe I didn't see it sooner!"

"You can't believe what Si?" asked Mal looking at her friend like she had gone stupid. Seirra rushed over and whispered something into Malicia's ear. Malicia's eyes got wide. "You're thinking that too!"

"Thinking what? What are you guys going on about over there?" asked Kimberly getting slightly annoyed that she didn't know what was going on.

"We know why you don't break of the bet with him Kimberly Ara!" Sierra said giggling.

"Oh please enlighten me then you guys." she said dramatically.

"You're in love with him." Malicia stated.

"I... I...I'm what?" she stammered. Malicia's comment had caught her off gaurd.

"You heard me. You're in love with him"

"No, that is impossible, No woman in their right mind would be in love with Severus Snape." Kimberly said shaking her head.

"Then why are you still with him." asked Seirra in a hushed tone.

Kimberly looked from Sierra to Malicia, a smile playing on her lips, waiting for one of her friends to say they were joking. When she saw they weren't and her smile died...

Oh shit Kim thought to herself. Mal and Si both looked at each other and smirked at Kim.

"No, No... tha- that's impossible. I am not, repeat, AM. NOT. in love with Severus Snape, and you would do well to remember that." Kimberly turned on her heel and started to walk away from the two girls.

"Kim, stop." Malicia said, running to her friend and stopping her. "If you are in love with him, we will still be your friends, even though he isn't our favorite person in the world. But I have never seen you so happy, even when you try to act pissed off when he is around. That's all your doing is acting Hun, we don't see the hate in your eyes like we use to." Malicia hugged her friend, and whispered in her ear, "We'll support anything you do Kim."

Kim stood there looking at her friends, opening her mouth to speak, she quickly closed it. She went and sat on her bed with the other girls. It was a few minutes before she finally spoke. "Oh my god. Why didn't I realize this, and how did you two notice it?" she asked turning and hit her head on the wall softly a few times. The girls laughed and hugged their friend. "Shit, oh my god, you guys, Not a word to anyone! It was bad enough when I didn't want to be with him, now what would people say if they found out I do!" She fell back onto her bed.

"I gotta admit though, it's kinda nice." she said sheepishly. The girls laughed again and threw a few pillows at Kim.

Severus was about ready to open the door, when he turned and walked to the closed bedroom door and flung it open. Kimberly shrieked as the door flew open, and turned to see Snape making quick strides to where she was at.

"Severus Sna-" she started to say but was cut off as Snape pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. Kimberly melted in his arms, her knees went weak. She was glad that he had his arms around her or she would have fallen to the floor. He had his left arm held tightly around her waist, holding her close, and his right hand was running through her hair that was hanging around her shoulders. Kimberly ran her hands up Snapes arms and wound her arms around his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

Snape pulled out of the kiss, but held her body close to him still. Kimberly opened her eyes and stared up at Severus, his hand caressing her right cheek.

"Did you mean what you said earlier out there Kimmie," Snape asked quietly, caressing her cheek softly still, occasionally running a hand through her hair." When you said you would always love me?" Kimberly couldn't find her voice, a small sob escaped her throat as she nodded her head. Snape pulled her closer to him, and kissed her forehead. "We were together for so long Kimmie, and I didn't even know you cared, I thought you felt obligated to stay with me."

Kimberly hadn't meant to start crying, it was just that it had been a long time since Severus had showed any compassion towards her, and she missed being in his arms. And what also had done her in, was him calling her Kimmie, No one else called her that but him, and when he did she always felt so loved.

Snape lightly kissed her on her lips. His lips were so soft, and she always did love kissing him. Severus picked her up, and carried her to the bed, setting her carefully on it. Severus slid her shirt off and kissed every inch of flesh that was showing. Kimberly looked at him, her eyes pleading. In a matter of seconds, both were fully naked, and kissing passionately again. It was like the first time all over again. It was a magical night, in the sense of romance.

"Don't ever leave me again please Kimmie." Severus whispered before they drifting off to sleep.

Kimberly woke the next morning and rubbed her eyes. She had had such a crazy dream. Chuckling to herself she wished it had really happened, Severus had always been a great love maker. She wondered if Severus had stayed standing there for too long after she left or fled as fast as he could. Now, that would have been a typical Severus... running away from everything.

She made a move to crawl out of bed when she felt an arm go around her waist and pull her close. She let out a small gasp when she realized last night hadn't been a dream, and Severus was still in bed with her. Looking at the clock she saw it was still pretty early in the morning, and that no one would be up yet. She turned onto her other side, and lay watching him sleep. His breathing was so quiet she couldn't hear him hardly at all. She brushed a few strands of his hair off of his face, and traced his lips and other features on his face with her finger.

He stirred slightly and open his eyes just a little bit.

"Mornin' "he grunted softly.

"Mornin' "she replied, placing a kiss lightly on his nose, which brought on another grunt, causing her to laugh.

"I was hoping it hadn't been a dream." he said quietly, pulling her close.

"Me too," she said laying her head on his chest. She started to run her fingers over his chest, then wrapped her arms tightly around him.

"We best get up and get ready to face the day." she said struggling to get up.

"It's still early and it's Saturday," Snape said, pulling her close to him again.

"Severus," she squealed as he started to kiss her neck. "Come on Severus, Seriously now. What would people think."

"That Severus Snape and Kimberly Ara were so much in love again, and were back together." Snape said nuzzling her neck. Kimberly pulled away from him and sat up, covering up with the blanket.

"That's just it Severus, we aren't together again. We haven't been for 10 years." She said quietly, getting up and grabbing her clothes and running to the bathroom. Before entering she turned to him, and with an icy tone she said, "It's always nice to have a good shag every once in awhile Sev, but don't let it go to your head." Snape flinched when the bathroom door was slammed shut. Oh how he wished she knew his little secret.
