Severus made out with me in his private quarters for about thirty minutes. He then stopped kissing me suddenly. "Ava, we need to talk about this."

"What could you possibly want to talk about right now?" I teased, placing my mouth to his before he could resist.

The Potions Master pulled away after a few more seconds against my mouth. He sighed. "I am your professor and you my student. This is inexcusable behavior."

My hands traveled down his back to his buttocks and that's when he snapped. "Get. Out."

"You initiated this." I retorted. "Why tell someone you love them if you don't mean it?"

Severus turned away from me and sighed. "My affections are true, as I know yours are."

"Then why not?" I walked the few steps between us and stood in front of him.

"It is forbidden, Miss Taylor." His abrupt cold tone caused me to flinch.

"Fuck you, professor." I snapped and stormed out. I would not be in detention tonight after all.

It was a long day and finally dinner was served. I sat with my friends in Gryffindor who tried to discourage me from missing detention. They told me stories of other students who skipped Snape's punishments and ended up with several weeks of scrubbing cauldrons until midnight.

I didn't care. I wasn't going and that was that. If Snape wanted me so badly, he could come and get me himself. I looked up at the High Table and our eyes met. Severus glared down at me from his spot next to Dumbledore. I think he knew I wasn't coming.

Time to go to detention rolled around and I was taking my shower. I went to bed after that not worried about the consequences.

The next morning, I went to breakfast in the Great Hall. It was the same as the night before. I looked up and the Potions Master was glaring at me, his lips pursed. What an asshole, I thought.

Don't forget a liar, too. He said he loved you and he lied.

I planned on skipping class that day as payback. How I wished I could have a different Potions professor.

I was leaving the Great Hall for DADA class when someone pulled my wrist. I turned to see Severus and jerked my hand away.

He sighed. "Why are you ignoring me, Ava?"

"I was avoiding detention, not you." I replied as he walked with me down the corridor.

Severus let out a breath. "You are required to be in my class today."
