Chapter 2 Punishment

"The question now is what are you going to do about it Ms. Granger?"

'He's mocking me! The bloody dungeon bat is mocking me! BASTARD!' Hermione silently screamed in her head. 'Time for me to muster up that Griffindor courage he was talking about and turn the tables on him.'

"Well sir," she said silkly, "I hadn't thought that far ahead. I thought you may have some ideas about it."

There was a flash of something in his eyes but it was gone before she could identify it. 'Take that you smug bastard'

" Well Ms. Granger," he said leaning forward " We must decide your punishment for being so reckless in my classroom. Now let us see, what is a suitible punishment for a student who disregards the safety of her fellow class mates just to gain the attention of her professor? What do you think Ms. Granger?"

' What is he playing at?' She had no answer to give him, she was too busy trying to figure out what he was getting at.

"Well?" he said with an impatient tone to his voice.

"I...I...I...think..." Hermione splutters.

"What do you think Ms. Granger?"

"I don't know sir," she says hanging her head.

She heard him get up from his chair and walk around his desk. She looks up to see him standing directly in front of her. Leaning into her he whispers " Now where did all that Griffindor courage go hmm? Come with me Ms. Granger." Turning on his heel he stalks across the classroom to the supply closet.

" Come here."

Not knowing what to do she walks over to him and he enters the closet. She follows him, her curiosity peaked.

"You will be restocking all of these shelves with fresh ingredients."

'What? That's it? Restock shelves? What is he playing at'

"Yes sir" she said quietly.

"Then get to it Ms. Granger," he snarled and stalked out of the room. Reaching for a pair of gloves she begins her work. Mean while her professor sits down to mark essays.

'So the insufferable know-it-all has finally done something drastic to gain my attention. She thinks that I didn't notice her skirt getting shorter or her tops getting lower. Oh I did all right. And as much as I loathe to say it she intrigues me.'

He sighs and leans back in his chair. It was high time he found out how far she was willing to let his go. Standing up he walks back to the closet where Hermione was working. Stopping in the door way he takes a moment to take her in. His eyes follow the gentle curve of her hip as she reaches up to place an ingredient on a high shelf.

' She looks so decadently soft. I shouldn't be thinking those things.' he scolds. She hadn't heard him come in so he just stood in the door way watching her. 'I guess it time to find out what Ms. Granger really wants.'

He came to stand behind her letting his breath fall on her neck. He watched as she shivered at the contact. 'Well then,' he thought 'this is going to be interesting.'

Out loud he said "Come with me Ms. Granger I have thought of a much better punishment for you."

A/N- Teaser I know but it's more fun this way. Sorry for taking so long writing this...I really dislike exams. Well enjoy! Cheers!
