Once Airiala was dry and had a couple of days to think, she realized that that Raina was actually very nice, if not a little crazy.

She avoided Snape during those few days as well. She didn't want to chance another argument. Every chance Raina got she would bring up the "flames of passion" and how sweet she thought it was. Every time it was brought up, Airiala would shake her head and ignore her.

It was inevitable that the two elementals would run into him, but if Airiala had known what would have happened because of it, she would have remained in Dumbledore's office.

Airiala and Raina were wandering the halls after reading all morning. Airiala had grown restless from being cooped up so long and Raina had suggested they take a walk. They ended up lost in the dungeons.

"Didn't we already pass that door?" Raina asked pointing at a nearby door.

"I don't know, they all look the same. I can't believe how large this place is. Why did we come down here again?"

Raina smiled before she answered. "Because…you subconsciously wanted to see him."

Airiala sighed as she turned to Raina. "No, I took a different way so we wouldn't run into him. I have no desire to speak to him."

"Of course you do."

"No, I don't. He believes me to be ignorant and I don't associate with people who believe themselves above others."

Raina smiled. "First step: denial."

"I told you, that's alcoholics. I know how I feel and I harbor no 'passion' for that man."

Raina laughed. "Yes, you do. I can see it in your eyes every time I mention his name. There is a flicker of fire in your eyes, almost like you're remembering something. What, did you see him naked or something?"

A brief memory of a shirt-less Snape flashed across Airiala's mind. She grew angry to cover the blush that was growing.

"That is so ridiculous!" she yelled, letting the wind roar around her. "I have no desire to see him…naked, even if he is," Airiala calmed down and the wind slowed to a slight breeze, "incredibly…desirable without his shirt on."

Raina let out a laugh. "I knew it, I knew it! You are attracted to him!"

Airiala narrowed her eyes. "No I'm not!"

Raina looked passed Airiala and smiled. "Oh, really?"

"Yes."

Raina smiled wider before shoving Airiala hard. She fell backwards, expecting to hit the wall only to discover it was a trick wall. She fell through and landed directly in Snape's lap.

Raina shook her head before walking through the wall and into Snape's classroom, which luckily was empty.

There was Airiala and Snape on the ground, her in his lap. Raina almost laughed at the sight. Airiala looked up, directly into Snape's dark eyes and her heart began beating faster.

Raina smiled as she felt the wind begin to blow about the room.

"Told you," she said, drawing both their attention to her. "Attraction."

Snape felt Airiala tense in his arms before the wind began to blow stronger around them. He could sense it; she was becoming angry.

"I'll tell you on last time," Airiala said standing. "I…Am…Not…Attracted…To…Snape!" With that she stomped out of the room furiously.

Raina turned to Snape and shrugged. "Why she denies it I'll never know."

"What do you think you are doing?" he snapped at her while standing up. "Wandering around like that is dangerous and I will not allow it."

Raina sighed and shook her head with a smile. "I know it's dangerous, but I have discovered something very interesting that our dear friend, Airiala, has been keeping from you."

Snape raised an eyebrow at the amused girl. Apparently that water elemental knew what she was doing because she had his attention now. "Really?"

"Oh yes, I believe that if I told you what I know you would become one arrogant man."

"What is it?"

Raina laughed before turning to the door. "That's a secret, Airiala's secret, and only she can tell it."

Raina quickly slipped out of the classroom before Snape could corner her and get information out of her. She grinned as she quickly left the dungeons and headed to the Great Hall.

The ball was in his court, now he just had to pass it to Airiala and get her to confess. It would be interesting to watch.

Severus stood there for several seconds after the water elemental left. Now he was curious and he had to know what she had said about him. It couldn't be anything bad if one went on how the water elemental was gloating, but that also meant that it might not be good.

He grew angry. Good or bad, Airiala was talking behind his back and it brought back all those horrible memories. He stormed out of his classroom heading for the Great Hall where he knew she would be. It was time for lunch after all.

And when he found her he was going to get the answers out of her.
