Hermione shrieked with joy as she pounced on the egg. Fumbling, she opened the latch and pulled out the bottle of gold potion. Forgetting her whicker basket temporarily, she danced around the room holding the bottle.
"What? Found your favorite chocolate?" a crabby Severus Snape inquired.
"Anyone can see that it is not chocolate," she replied, hugging the bottle to her chest. Apparently, she had momentarily forgotten her promise to hand the bottle over to her professor.
"Very good Miss Granger," he said levelly. He held out his hand. "Hand it over."
Hermione's bubble burst. "But…"
"We had a bargain," he reminded her.
Her face fell.
"You must hand it over unless…"
"What?" she demanded.
"There is a condition under which I might allow you to keep such a prize," he continued.
"And that is…?"
'Damn,' he thought. 'I really should think of something before I decide to offer an alternative.' He racked his brain for something that he wanted from the Granger girl. He reddened at the thought of what he truly wanted but decided on something much tamer. "A kiss."
"A kiss," she repeated. 'That's easy enough considering my reasons for wanting the potion,' she thought.
She set the potion down on the sink and took a step toward him.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing?"
