Chapter 2: Obsessed?
Some weeks had passed from the time Hermione had arrived at Hogwarts. Twice a week she had Double Potions and during these special moments, she got used to examine the Potions Master. She wanted to see his reactions, to know his character better. Eventually, sometimes she really wondered whether she was becoming a bit obsessed with her teacher. Hermione was, of course, always trying her best not only to get the best marks, but also to impress him and maybe even to surprise the young man.
She even noticed him looking at her now and then, with a whole new expression in his deep black eyes. Still, when he became aware of her watching him, his handsome face turned livid at once. Hermione couldn't stand the cold barrier between them anymore and slowly, a plan formulated in her mind. All she desired was to seduce him in a way he would never expect from her.
Then, finally, the afternoon for her to take action came. First, she decided she would be late for her class of Potions. Thus, when the bell indicating the start of classes after lunch rang, she awaited several minutes until she entered the dark classroom.
'Ah Miss Granger finally decides to show up… What an honour for us…' Severus Snape sneered even though his eyes didn't match his words. A light shone in them.
'Sorry Professor, I…'
'No excuses. Twenty points from Gryffindor. Now take a seat', he replied to many furious whispers from her fellow Gryffindors.
She sat next to her friend Neville Longbottom and waited. She observed Severus in awe as he gave his students instructions and ordered them to commence their work.
Hermione began setting up her cauldron and ingredients. Predictably, Neville started begging her for help and studying Snape out of the corner of her eyes, she gave her friend advice. She made sure she was speaking loud enough for her Professor to hear.
'You don't seem to want to give it a rest, do you, Miss Granger. Another twenty points from Gryffindor and you shall have a detention tomorrow night', stated Severus. 'You will come to my office at nine o'clock.'
Hermione sought to appear disappointed or even sad but she couldn't ignore the excited beats of her heart. Everything had happened as planned.
The bell finally rang and she rushed out of the classroom as though she was about to cry from humiliation. Neville, Harry and Ron followed her. Neville pleaded for her forgiveness; however, she did not answer fearing her voice might betray her excitement. Ron said 'Don't worry Hermione, it won't be that bad. You're so brave you'll crush Snape' and placed his arm around her waist. Harry looked away and began to talk to Neville who appeared depressed. However, Hermione shot a deadly glare at Ron and run off unable to wipe the smile off her face.
