Chapter 6- The Secret Library
She gasped as her eyes met the curious glare of Professor Snape.
"Oh! Sir, I am so sorry, I didn't know where else to go. I thought this room was empty. I just had to get away. I thought Blaise was going to-"Her ramblings were interrupted by Professor Snape's deep voice saying, "Miss Granger, stop talking."
"Yes, sir. Sorry, sir," she whispered before clamping her mouth shut.
"Now, explain to me why you are in MY library."
The second she heard library, Hermione looked up and her mouth fell open and her eyes grew wide.
Completely forgetting who she was with, she walked to the closest shelf and started looking through the rows of books. But before she had enough time to look around she got pulled out of her lustful trance by a loud cough.
She looked up and stilled instantly. Snape was now on his feet and only a few inches from her.
When Snape saw her face change from worry to lust, he realized just how much she had grown. She looked beautiful. She no longer had buck teeth and her skin had gained some color. Her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown and her hair was in silky waves landing halfway down her back. Her body had filled out over the summer and even though she was petite, she had subtle curves that only a woman could have.
He had unknowingly stood and walked until he was right behind her. He could smell her, the only way he could describe her scent was heavenly.
Realizing what he was doing he coughed and stepped back.
When Hermione looked up into Severus' eyes, she saw an unknown spark. She didn't know what it was but she liked it.
"Miss Granger, what was that spell you put on my door? I do not recognize it," Severus said once he got his voice back.
"Oh," coming out of her trance, "I came up with it last week, it locks doors so that only the one that locked it can open it."
Completely losing himself to curiosity, he sat in his armchair and asked, "How does it work?"
"Uhm, it's hard to explain, do you mind if I sit?" she asked quietly.
He stuck out his hand, signaling her to sit, and sat back to listen.
