Harry nor Ron spoke to Hermione the next day. In fact no one did, which didn't really matter to Hermione. It hurt, yeah, but there wasn't anything that she could due to really change their minds. That much was obvious when she went to sit with them at breakfast and the spots she went to sit were occupied with bags, with no one willing to move them. They just wouldn't let her sit down and that hurt.

It was juvenile and cruel. From there it only got worst when she went to class and professors had to force the last student in the classroom to sit next to her because everyone purposely didn't sit next to her. Then something unusual happened.

"Potter. Weasley. Why aren't you sitting with your friend?" Draco Malfoy looked to the two boys, making McGonagal look up ready to separate them if a fight broke out.

"Mind your business, Malfoy. " Ron stated.

"Is this because Granger rejected you?" He pried and then stood in front of her, looking down at her as Hermione tried to bury herself in classwork that they were all supposed to be doing.

"Mr. Malfoy... " McGonagal said shortly.

Draco looked at her then to Ron. "Surely this isn't about the fact that she is marrying our potion's professor. Is your friendship really that fragile and sensitive?" He laughed. "Gryffindors... I will never understand why you're known for your bravery and loyalty but run off at the first sign of trouble. "

Then Hermione's eyes widen as Draco moved his things and sat next to her leaving the student beside him partner-less. Draco had never ever sat next to her, nonetheless willing got close to her all their years at Hogwarts she wondered what was really the reason.

"Granger. " He greeted formally and then began to work diligently.

"Why... Why are you sitting next to me?" Hermione asked when again in her Potion's class Draco came and sat next to her.

Draco looked around and then at her and shrugged, "Family sticks to each other. You are marrying Severus. That makes you family, Granger. " He told her firmly.

"But... I'm... I'm a Mudblood. " She stated as if Draco had possibly forgotten.

Draco turned to her and chuckled. "Granger, just because you are a Mudblood doesn't mean I have to continue shunning you. You are marrying into the Prince bloodline. You are marrying Snape, someone my house loves dearly. Severus is practically my uncle... You are family. Messy blood or not. "

Hermione couldn't help but smile at that. She remember telling Severus that when they married her mother and father would become his, and now here Draco Malfoy was talking to her as if they were the best of friends. That period they ended up having to pair up to brew a potion and were laughing and talking the entire time. Slughorn had to even warn them to quiet down.

The news of the new unlikely friendship spread throughout the castle fast, making other Slytherins approach her, and begin to accept her at an alarming rate. On the way to one of her classes, she was surrounded by a ton of Slytherin girls. All of them congratulating her on her engagement and asking to see her ring. It was then one girl informed her that she was wearing Severus's mothers ring. The Prince family ring.

Hermione felt a new sense of pride for her engagement to Severus all of a sudden and when she entered her defense against the dark arts class, something even stranger happened. Every male Slytherin student stood, offering their seat to her not only surprising her, but also their teacher. Severus saw the glaring Gryffindor students and had heard that they had begun to shun her, what he had not heard was that Hermione had been taken in by his House.

He watched her shyly make her way to a seat that was already unoccupied and felt himself straighten up with pride. No one understood family, loyalty and honor better than the Slytherin house, and if this wasn't a prime example of that he didn't know what was. "10 points to each student that stood for Ms. Granger, for exempting courtesy. " He stated making everyone groan and start complaining of favoritism.

He responded by saying he could deduct points as easily as give them, causing everyone to stop complaining. He was proud. Very proud of all his students and their manners toward Hermione, despite how her friends were treating her. He looked at her and gave a small smirk before beginning the lesson.

During class, a few saw Severus leave a note on Hermione's desk but said nothing. It was his class and technically he could do anything. They didn't know if it was a note, or some assignment she had done in the pass. Severus was known for keeping assignments if he particularly enjoyed them.

However it was a note, one asking for her to dress up tonight and come down to see him after dinner. Hermione could feel the butterflies in her stomach at the thought of getting to see Severus tonight. The weekend had passed, and he'd been called away for something leaving her alone for a couple days. It was the eighth day of school, the eight day of her training and they hadn't done much. She hoped they would finally do something tonight.

Hermione skipped dinner not wanting to deal with everyone there and asked for a small snack early before dinner. When she finished that she went to get dressed. She decided she was going to wear the outfit she had found by surprise.

Once in the beautiful lace undergarments she stared at her reflection in awe of how sexy she found herself in the lingerie that she had gotten. She looked gorgeous, and felt really empowering in it, almost like she could take on the world if she wanted. Of course she didn't, but she couldn't believe how well it fit.

She turned to the side, looking at her side view and frowned at her chest. She really hoped she would develop a bigger chest, but she knew by all the women in her family, she most likely wouldn't. Hermione bit her lip, and wondered if casting a spell would prove to help her. Girls did it all the time, and more often than not, that was the main reason some girls looked busy compared to others. No. She thought, Severus would know.

"Severus!" She gasped looking at her clock, she was supposed to be meeting him in five minuets! She didn't have time to calculate her body flaws and improvements! Quickly she grabbed her uniform and robe, dressed herself and head out to his classroom.

She wanted him to touch her, and she was really craving a good spanking from him. Not the punishment kind but the pleasurable kind. However she wasn't going to ask for it unless he asked her what she wanted.

As she approached the dungeons, she stopped looking around as she caught a smell of a brewing potion. She peaked inside the classroom and just as she thought Severus was looming over a cauldron brewing a potion. The smell was sweet like licorice, so it must be something bad... She thought and walked in.

"Professor. " She said softly just so he would know that someone else was there. She received a hand gesture as he left the table to go grab some other ingredients.

They wouldn't be playing tonight... She thought sadly again and lowered her head. He was killing her.

However, that was fine... She told herself and took her robe off pulling down her skirt but the waist of the skirt stayed well above her hips. She flattened her blouse down from it's wrinkly state due to the robe and glanced over the potion. What was he brewing? She wondering picking up his list of ingredients.

"Death-Cap, Dragon's Blood, Gnat heads, Honey, crushed daisies... ?" She mumbled trying to rack her brain for a clue but she was coming up blank.

Severus came around the corner holding three bottles that he wanted to try in his special potion but then his jumped to Hermione and he stopped. She was wearing stockings... He could see the lace trim peaking at him from under her skirt, and couldn't help but smirk. So is that what she bought?

Hermione placed the paper down, and in the process ended up knocking over his wooden spoon. "Shit. " She gasped carelessly bending over to try to pick it up, causing Severus to sprout a very noticeable erection.

She was wearing lace underwear, that curved up over her ass cheeks, and hugged her form so nicely. Oh my... He licked his lips taking slow steps toward her. "Hermione... " He said softly causing her to jump.

"Sorry! I know I shouldn't have touched your work space but I was curious. " She said putting the spoon down quickly.

Severus smirked looking at her then placed the three bottles down on the table. He didn't say anything to her, not yet. He was formulating a plan to go with his other one. . .

He poured some Egg whites and nut meg into the potion and then set his timer for thirty minutes. He hadn't used his wooden spoon yet, it was to serve the purpose of testing. So as the metal spoon circled the cauldron on its own, he turned to her. "Hand me the spoon Miss. Granger. "

Hermione did as she was told not thinking twice about it. As she set the wooden utensil into his hand, she turned to find a chair and he grabbed her wrist. "Where do you think you are going?" He asked raising his brow.

Hermione's hazel eyes looked up to him innocently, wondering what she had done wrong, but when she noted that his eyes were scanning her body, she blushed. "I... I was going to find a seat, Sir. "

Severus snorted. "After touching my work station?" He asked. "I don't think so. I want you to go to that table right over. I want you to spread your legs. Then I want you to bend over, supporting yourself with the table. " He said sternly, and slapped the wooden spoon in his hand.

Hermione gasped biting her lower lip staring at the spoon, and Severus smirked. She was catching on to what he wanted to do.

"Are... Are you going to punish me, Sir?" She asked looking back up to him.

"It'll be worst if you don't do as you're told, Miss. Granger. " Severus said lowly.

Hermione felt her stomach tighten, and her thighs to press tight against each other. "Yes, Sir. " She whispered turning away from him heading for the table.

She spread her legs should width apart, leaned forward to find a comfortable stance and laid her top half on the cool table top. Oh god... She thought bitting her lip. It was happening... She smiled into the table.

Severus walked to her bent figure and ran a hand up the back of her legs, grabbing the hem of her skirt and lifting it to expose the beautiful lace work she was wearing. Oh he liked this... He thought and he caressed her ass cheeks giving her a playful spank on one cheek sending an excited tremor up her spine. Yes. . .

"As much as I like your positioning, your stance isn't right. Prop yourself up on your elbows, please... " He said calmly. He still had to educate her, he reminded himself. He couldn't punish her for not knowing something he hadn't told her yet.

He came around to the side of the table locking his eyes on her, as he reached down to her neck, and removed her tie. She bit her lip as he tied her wrist together and then pulled on the tail so that she was more on the table. The tops of her thighs touched the edge of the table, and she felt her want grow. She needed him to do something about it soon.

Severus chuckled, rolling up his sleeves. "How many spanks do you get for breaking a rule?" He asked her.

"Five, Sir. " Hermione said unable to hold back her excitement. God she was really crazy.

"I want to use this wooden spoon on you. " Severus explained causing Hermione to rise up on her toes and her sex to throb uncontrollably.

"May I give you a warning hit, so you know what to expect? "

"Yes. " Hermione whispered breathlessly.

Severus stopped. "Yes, what? "

Hermione looked back at him startled by her own slip.

"Yes, please, Sir. " She corrected herself, and then cried out as he hit her with the smooth end of the wooden spoon. "Oh Merlin, yes... " She whimpered feeling her panties become slightly wet.

Severus chuckled, run the spoon over her ass bottom and then between her thighs watching he whole body tremble as the unexpected attack. This was good, for both of them. The only thing not so good about this situation was that they were in his classroom. But by Merlin's beard, be wanted her to be splayed out in his classroom. He wanted her moans to echo out, and remind him later during the long hard days of teaching what had happened between them.

He pulled his wand out closing and locking the door to his classroom and then cast a silencing curtain. That would take care of anyone possibly hearing them, even though he was sure no one would hear them. He looked back to her bottom and sighed running his hand along the flesh. He grabbed a handful of her ass, and groaned. Then he smacked her sharply with the wooden spoon four times, spacing them out so that each sting was felt. However when he was done, he moved behind her and pressed against her.

Hermione moaned lifting her hips and pushing back against his clothed erection sure that she was going to come undone any minuet now. "Touch me, please touch me Severus... " She begged looking behind her to him.

"Touch you?" Severus asked cupping her hips to steady her movements. "I am touching you. "

"No touch me more, please... " Hermione groaned.

"Not right now. " Severus said with a sigh as she whimpered lowering her head to the table. Severus chuckled, stepping away as she moved to turn and face him.

"I don't believe I said you can get up. " He pointed out. "Severus, I need you to touch me. Here. " She said using her teeth to loosen the tie around her wrist so she could grab his hand and placed it over her shirt on her breast. "And here. " She took his other hand and firmly placed his hand under her skirt on the dampened front of the panties. "Please, I'm going to lose my mind if you don't. " She whispered resting her forehead on his lean chest.

Severus listened to her carefully, and understood. She had pent up energy, and every time she saw him all she could think about was being intimate with him. The fantasies alone in her young mind would probably cost Severus a load or two and she was a creative girl with too much time on her hands. He wondered how many fantasies she really had.

"You did hold your own with the Minister... That was quiet impressive. " He whispered into her ear, raising his nose into her hair. "I felt a sort of pride that you were going to be my wife with that strong attitude Hermione, don't ever lose that will power. " He whispered licking the shell of her ear.

She shiver at the wet tip of his tongue and exposed her neck to him hopefully. However he startled her by lifting her up and setting her on the table. "Unbutton your blouse... " He instructed.

Without hesitation, Hermione moved her thin dainty fingers to work on the buttons and revealed the matching bra to the underwear he head been admiring. A deep primal groan ripped from his throat as he gabbed the middle of the bra pulling her to him, kissing her roughly. This startled her but she grasped his shirt pulling him to her as she kissed him back.

Severus has a thing for lace and seeing her in the beautifully woven material was making him crazy. Not just panties, and a matching bra but she found a garter belt with stockings. He wanted to fuck her brutally right then and there, but he wasn't going to let himself.

He moved his hand up to her throat grabbing just slightly under her jaw and grinned wickedly at her. "I like this outfit. " He whispered.

She giggled, "I hoped you would... "

Severus bit his lip as he watched her bite hers. "Hermione, I want you to go to my bedroom. " He told her with more force in his voice.

Hermione went still do a moment but then sighed and nodded. "Position one. " She could help but show how excited that made her and he smirked. He knew that she was thinking they weren't going to do anything tonight but he had a plan for tonight. Although he had not planned on her coming down wearing something so damn sexy. That threw a curve ball at him.

His little Student teacher fantasy had been for-filled and he moved to his potion as the timer chimed. He moved to finish the rest of the potion so that it could brew for the rest of the evening, leaving him free to be with Hermione.

Hermione removed her bra nervously and wondered if her would mind that her breast were small, perhaps he could make a potion to change that she thought and bit her lip. Position one... Just panties... She reminded herself and removed the stockings and garter belt. Then she crossed the room to the pillow waiting for her, and placed herself in the pose Severus's wanted her in.

When Severus walked into his he hissed at the sight of Hermione in nothing but underwear facing his bed, what the hell had he done to be gifted with something like this? He wondered.

Hermione blushed instantly when she heard Severus and bit her lip. She did good, she knew that much.

Very slowly Severus crossed to their table and looked at her bra. He removed his robes, vest and lastly his shirt before picking up the small piece of fabric to feel the lace that was still slightly warm from being worn. She had to have been waiting for this moment. He thought and walked to her, watching her eyes fall on the bra in his hands and then the floor attempting to use her hair to hide her chest. He frowned, "Are you uncomfortable? Do you need to put a shirt on?" He asked her curiously.

"No! No I'm fine!" She said quickly looking up to him and them down bitting her lip. She was nervous and excited but all in a good way. The sight of him holding her bra and shirtless was... Intense. "You... You don't have a shirt on... " She whispered.

"Do you want me to be in a shirt?" He asked surprised, a brow cocking up.

"No!" She gasped looking up again and then licked her red swollen lips looking at his chest before lowering her faze.

He frowned walking behind her and crouched down to pull her hair back gently and divide her hair to braid her hair. "Hermione, relax. You are safe right here. Right now. " He reminded her and then tied her hair in a pony-tail holder and moved back in front of her.

"What are your safe words?" He asked.

Hermione looked up at him, "Charcoal and Argo, Sir... "

Severus moved to sit on the edge of the bed, keeping her eye contact, "I want to tie you down to my bed. I want to blindfold you, kiss, nip, lick and bite every inch of your body... " He told her watching her eyes grow bigger and then her breathing come faster. "But only after I see how beautiful you look in pose two and spank you a few times again. "

Hermione felt her heart leap. She honestly felt she was insane to react to those words the way a young woman would if her boyfriend told her something sweet with flowers in hand. She licked her Dr. Lips again, nodding unsure making his smile. "Is that okay. Do you think you can handle that? "

"Yes, Sir... " She whispered.

"Will you say our safe words if it becomes too much?" He asked crouching in front of her.

"Charcoal and Argo. I will say them, Sir... " She whispered again bitting her inner cheek and tilted her head to the side. Oh God... Tonight he was really going to play with her... She thought with butterflies floating around in her stomach.

"Stand up and go stand in front of the bed, pose two. "

Hermione stood up, feeling an unusual heat on her body as she walked in front of the bed and rose her hands up with her wrists the way he had shown her. She looked around to see Severus in his dresser over in the corner. Then she watched him pull out red rope, lots of rope. On his wrist already was a black eye mask, then he touched the wall and her arms sags.

She had seen some of his toys on-line on an online sex shop but she hadn't thought he would have some himself. "Are you going to hit you with those. . ?" She asked looking at the ones that had thin strings from it.

He turned to look at her and was pleased that she was in the correct position. "One day. " He told her honestly walking to the bed. "Tonight, I want to spank you with my bare hands. " He smiled. "Unless you would like to try one? "

Hermione looked at them and shook her head. One of her soft items was spanking, she wasn't too sure if she was going to like it yet, she didn't want to ruin her first legit spanking as odd as that sounded. "No... No thank you... " She whispered.

He nodded walking back over to close the wall cupboard after grabbing some sort of lotion. He placed it on the edge of the bedside table, and then stood in front of her, and tied her wrists together with the red rope. "Is that too tight? Wiggle your arms..."

Hermione smiled and wiggled. "It's fine, Sir. "

"Good. " He said and touched her face, "You look beautiful... Red is really a good color for you... " He admitted touching the rope before moving away from her.

Then without warning his hand spanked her ass hard and she gasped moving away from his hit. He looked at her and sat on the bench behind her, "Lay across my lap, Hermione. "

Hermione turned to him and looked at his lap unsure of how she should lay, she didn't want to make this uncomfortable for him... "Hermione, I'm a grown man. Lay on my lap. " His words were rough, but he was reassuring her, and that made her feel better as she laid herself over his lap. "Scoot up a little bit... " He instructed. She lifted her hips, and crawled up a bit so that her ass was right below his sight as she propped herself comfortably on the arm of the bench.

"Perfect. " Severus whispered draping one of his arms along her back, before moving his free hand down her lace covered bottom. "I will not spank you to hurt you. You will tell me when you are no longer able to take anymore. Do I make myself clear? "

Hermione felt giddy, she couldn't believe she was actually draped over him like this and willingly about to be spanked to bliss. She hoped that much at least... "Yes, Sir..."

"Very well. " Severus said firmly. Then he flicked his wrist with just enough force to draw out a delicious cry from Hermione's lips.
