Felix Felicis be damned. For the first time in his life, Severus Snape was snogged by a not drunk, not dared, and reasonably attractive girl. All rational thoughts flew from his head as the seventeen year old witch wreaked havoc on his senses. She smelled vaguely of parchment, sandalwood, and tangerines—exactly what Amorentia smelled like to him.
He pulled back suddenly, looking at her confused face.
"Very well Miss Granger, if the potion is all you desire, you may leave," he said, as evenly as he could manage.
"What if it's not?" she asked.
"Then…" his voice trailed off.
"Allow me," she said. Hermione pounced on him, knocking him back so he leaned against the towel rack as she snogged him senseless.
He was vaguely aware of the bar from the towel rack pressing rather uncomfortably into the small of his back. He didn't really care, however, as Hermione ran her tongue over his lower lip.
After being snogged into oblivion, he had the sense to offer the young woman some breakfast, over which they could discuss the merits of student-teacher relationships.
"I'll take my NEWTS early," she offered.
"I'll quite teaching," he countered, biting into his toast.
"But you like teaching," she protested.
That statement inspired booming laughter. "You think I enjoy teaching the lot of dunderheads? Lord no, I'd rather do research!"
"Fine," she said. "You'll stop teaching. What about our little Voldy problem?"
"Kill him?"
"You have such wonderful ideas. I'll have to tell Harry to get to work on that one." She reached over and kissed him, stealthily stealing one of the dyed hardboiled eggs from his plate.
"I am beginning to see the merits of celebrating the Easter holiday."
"Why don't you celebrate Easter?"
"I'm Jewish."
Hermione looked at the plate of bacon in confusion.
"I'm not particularly observant," remarked Snape dryly.
She shrugged. "It doesn't matter." She looked at her watch. "I have to go before someone suspects something," she said, getting up.
He stood up as well, handing her the basket full of candy and the potion.
"I don't need the potion anymore," she said. "Keep it and keep this."
He looked at her in confusion. "Chocolate body paint?"
She smiled devilishly. "For later."
