Warnings: Sexual Situation coming up in this chapter

The next morning during breakfast Neville approached Harry and Hermione.

"I was wondering if it would be a good idea to study some subjects together and I wanted to know if you would be interested in getting into Potions with me?" The only reason Neville had picked potions was his dream of becoming a healer. He guessed that Herbology on it's own wouldn't make him happy in the long run. The war had had quite an effect on Neville since he was much more confident now.

Harry thought about it for a minute and then looked at Hermione. "That might actually be a good idea. What do you think?"

The young witch nodded. "We can give it a try. Working together has worked well with the DA practice."

"Great!" Neville grinned and pulled a book out of his bag to show it to Harry and Hermione. "I've already gotten one of those. You know there are only four of them."

Harry looked at the cover. It was a book with a collection of questions that had been asked in exams before. "Smart move, Neville. So when do you guys have time?"

They agreed on Wednesdays after dinner.

Ron had watched them all without saying a word. But later that day he asked Harry and Hermione if they would be interested in learning together for Transfiguration. Both of them agreed and they even thought about getting together with others for DADA (Defence Against Dark Arts) practice. They would just need to find a teacher that would have an eye on them in case something happened.

.

Harry, Hermione and Neville sat together in the common. They were going over the questions one after the other, reading them out loud and then scribbling the answer down if they knew it or they looked in the piles of books that were scattered around them.

"Wow, I didn't know that. Did you guys realise that there are two potions that have the exact same ingredients?"

Harry looked from Neville to Hermione but even she didn't seem to know it. She reached for the book. "I'm not going to compare reams of potions. We'll just look it up."

She read out loud to them that the only difference between the two potions in question was the way they were stirred. "With counter clock stirring you will get 'Dreamless Draught' and with clockwise stirring (adding a counter clock stir after every forth stir) you will get a healing potion," she ended, looking up from the book.

"Now I really start to believe that Potions is an art," Neville stated.

Harry nodded and then took his quill to write the answer down.

.

Severus looked over his class. "The last question for today is rather advanced but it does come up every other year in the exams. It shows how complex the making of potions is. There are two fairly different potions-"

Snape stopped as Granger's hand shot up. He was just about to say something as Harry lifted his hand as well. This was a surprise since Harry usually only talked in his class when asked. But even stranger was the fact that Longbottom's hand slowly went up after he had looked at Harry with a grin.

"You do realise that I haven't even finished the question yet?" Severus mockingly asked.

The Gryffindors nodded and kept their arms up.

"Very well then. Take a piece of parchment and write the answer down." Severus watched them and summoned the parchments after they were finished.

"Now let's see if any of the others know the answer. There is a curiosity about two different potions, which have the same ingredients." Severus saw Harry, Granger and Longbottom grin at each other and knew that they had the answer right. "Which potion am I talking about and in which way do they differ?"

Severus looked over his class but almost everyone was just staring at their desk. Apparently nobody besides the Gryffindors knew the answer, not even a Slytherin.

"Merlin's beard!" His gaze swept once more over his students. With a sigh he sat down at his desk. "Mr Longbottom if you would please let your classmates know what the answer is."

Longbottom only stuttered once at the beginning but answered the question correctly.

Severus nodded. "Class dismissed. Potter, Granger and Longbottom, you stay here for a minute. And the rest," Severus said with a glare over the hurriedly packing students. "Will hopefully be better prepared the next time."

Severus checked the three rolls of parchment and wasn't surprised to find the right answers written there. He looked at the three Gryffindors. "That was rather impressive even though I really hate to admit it. However, I do think it's quite curious that all three of you knew what I was talking about. Is there a reason for it?"

Harry and Longbottom only nodded but at least the Granger girl cared to answer and told him that they were studying together.

Severus looked them over. "It seems to work quite nicely."

"It was Neville's idea, sir," Harry provided.

Severus' gaze shifted to said boy who blushed furiously but didn't turn his eyes away from his teacher. Severus was still not sure how he had managed to get into his class but his grades had been good enough even though barely. Severus released Longbottom from his piercing look.

"Ten points to Gryffindor, for each of you. But-" Severus gave each of them a glare. "If it comes to my ears that you have been bragging about it I will take double points from all of you. Now get out of my eyesight. I want to be depressed about Gryffindors being better then my Slytherins." Severus gestured them away impatiently and watched how they hurried out trying to hide their grins.

In between studying for the exams, Quidditch practice and the normal lessons, Harry hadn't much time left to do anything else. Only after hours when he was alone in his bed, he had the peace and time to think about what he was going to find out about BDSM from Snape.Tomorrow would be the next lesson and Harry looked forward to it. He had not only grown to respect him but also to like him. Especially since their first lesson were had seen a very different man. Not only had he not been looking like he had eaten something sour, no he had even smiled and laughed. Harry had found that very appealing. Snape was actually wickedly attractive.

Harry imagined Snape standing in front of him with that smirk in his face (the one that made his toes curl with the promises Harry's fantasy put into it). Snape reached out and caught his naked nipples between his fingers.

Harry groaned softly and quickly sat up to cast a silencing charm around his bed. Then he fell back into the pillows and closed his eyes again, getting back to his fantasy as he spread his legs as far as he could. Lifting his hands he started to rub his nipples with his palms causing his cock to twitch and another moan slipped out between Harry's lips. He took his erect nubs between thumbs and index finger and rolled them before he pinched them, making them even harder. His nipples were so sensitive that he had a full grown hard on in no time. Blood was pounding in his prick and Harry resisted the urge to grab it. Instead he squeezed his nipples harder and felt the pain rushing through his body. Each pinch made his cock quiver. Harry felt the pre cum leaking, coating his skin. Not quite there, not quite the time to touch yet. Harry couldn't lie still anymore. His hips started to push upwards with every pinch. Biting his lips he tried to keep himself from groaning too loud despite the silencing charm around him.

Images of Snape teasing his nipples flooded Harry's mind and he couldn't hold back anymore. He reached underneath the blanket and wrapped his fingers firmly around his hard on. With his thumb he spread the fluid around the head of his cock that was oozing out of the slit. Then his hand started to move up and down on it with hard and fast strokes. He could feel the orgasm creep up on him already. His breath was getting heavier and heavier and his balls tightened. And sure enough he shot his cum into the blanket after a few more strokes.

He quickly let go of his cock and grabbed for the wand, casting a cleaning spell. Sometimes when he used fantasies like this one, a part of him felt like a perverted freak and he was disgusted with himself. Today was on of these days. He rolled onto his side and tried to think about something else.
