Chapter 2

"I knew this would happen! Now we have detention tomorrow!" Donna moaned after Snape left.

"Oh well," said Rose, "nothing we can do about it now, is there?"

"No, but I can still complain about it," Donna replied. "I've never had detention before!"

"It's not that bad," said Martha. "You just go and write lines or something."

"Still." Donna bit her lip. "What if it goes on my permanent record?"

"Oh Donna," Rose laughed, "no one cares about one detention on your permanent record!"

"Well I hope not." Donna was still worried, but a little less.

"It's nothing," Harry said dismissively. "I get detention all the time because Snape hates me."

"Do you guys want to go to dinner now?" Martha asked, standing up.

"Okay," everyone agreed. They all made their way out of the common room and through all the corridors to the Great Hall on the ground floor. When they got there, Martha saw that Seamus was sitting at the Gryffindor table.

"Seamus!" she squealed, running up to him and throwing her arms around him in a big hug.

"Martha!" he replied grinning. "I missed you so much over summer vacation!"

"I missed you too, Seamus, so much." she told him with a quick kiss on the lips.

"Aren't they so cute?" sighed Rose.

"They are," Donna agreed happily.

Rose was happy for them, she was...but she was also just the slightest bit jealous. She knew she shouldn't be, but she couldn't help it. She wished she had someone who loved her as much as they clearly loved eachother. And she also had a pretty good idea of who she wanted it to be...

"Draco!" Harry's voice broke Rose out of her reverie. Draco came over to the table and sat down beside harry, who gave him a grin and wrapped an arm around his waist. Rose smiled at them, still feeling a bit sorry for herself.

"You okay?" Donna asked her, sitting down and motioning for Rose to sit down beside her. She did, nodding at Donna but still looking a bit distracted. "Yeah..."

"You don't quite look okay," Donna asked with concern, smiling gently. "Come on, what is it?"

"Oh... it's nothing, really. I just... I wish I had someone like they do, you know?" She sighed, shaking her head. "I know it's stupid..."

"It's not stupid," Donna said kindly, putting her hand on Rose's arm.

"Well... I don't want to whine about it, but..."

Donna smiled knowingly. "This is about Mr. Smith, isn't it?"

A bit of a blush spread across Rose's cheeks. "Well... Maybe a bit..."

Donna grinned, "I knew it. Well if you want him, you should go after him!"

"You really think so?"

"Course I do!" She swatted Rose's arm playfully. "If that's what'll make you happy, I say go for it!"

Rose bit her lip. "But he's a professor..."

"If it's love that doesn't matter," Donna told her wisely, looking at her with open and honest green eyes.

A smile pulled on Rose's lips as she turned to look at her friend. "Your right Donna."

"Course I am, silly," Donna said, returning her smile.

"Thanks, Donna," Rose grinned, giving Donna a hug.

"Your welcome baby, anytime," Donna replied, rubbing her hands across Rose's back in a friendly way.

Feeling much better now, Rose turned to the food on the table and began to put some on her plate. She scooped some scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, oatmeal and a muffin and some orange juice.

Donna joined her and all of them ate their breakfast and then hurried off to class before they were late for their first day back at school.

Rose spent most of her Transfiguration class watching professor Smith with a dreamy, faraway expression on her features. She tried to pay attention, but... it was just so hard. He was just so gorgeous... and charming and smart and perfect. She sighed slightly because she knew it was never going to happen.

When they had to get into groups and perform a spell to turn an orange into an apple, Rose tried her best but she just couldn't get it right no matter how hard she tried. "Trismaticus palamium!" she said, flicking her wand at the orange and wishing it to change. Nothing happened, it just sat there, still looking like and orange, mocking her. She groaned in frustration.

"Having trouble with the spell, miss Tyler?" said a voice from behind her.

She jumped, spinning around to find Professor Smith standing behind her. "Oh... Yes, sir," she said her cheeks flushing a tiny bit in embarassment. "I just...can't seem to get it right."

"Just takes a little practice, that's all," he said kindly. "But unfortunately, class is nearly over so I don't have time to help you."

"Yes... that's okay," she said, trying not to notice how deep his chocolately brown eyes were.

"However, If you would like to stay after class miss Tyler, I can show you how to perform the spell?"

"Oh!" Rose blurted then hoped her cheeks weren't going red. Stay after class? With Professor Smith? Yes! "Yes, sir! I mean..." she tired to clear her throat to seem less excited. "I do need help with the spell... Thank you sir, that's very kind of you."

He smiled and her knees went just a little weak and wobbly. "That's what I'm here for miss Tyler," he said helpfully, and then he moved away to go back up to the front of the classroom.

Everyone started to pack up their books, and Rose gathered together all her stuff very slowly. Harry came over from another group, greeting her warmly and saying "Hey Rose, ready to go?"

Rose shook her head. "No actually, I'm staying behind for a minute so Professor Smith can help me with my spell."

"Oh, okay, I'll see you later at dinner then" Harry said, smiling and waving to her as he left the classroom.

"Oh, I just can't get it!" Rose complained in frustration as she poked her wand at the orange that she couldn't get to change. This was the fourth time she tried the spell and it still wasn't working.

"You're almost there," said Mr. Smith encouragingly. "Here, just let me show you..." He reached over and put his hand on her wand to show her how to do the proper movement and their fingers brushed. Rose sucked in her breath unconsciously as little fireworks and tingles were running up her hand. She could feel how close he was behind her and his breath was warm on her neck and she couldn't concentrate on what he was saying...

"I'm sorry miss Tyler," he said, quickly letting go of the wand and taking a step back.

She took a second to recover from being disappointed that he moved away. Then she asked "Why, what for?"

"I..." He ran his hand up the back of his neck. "I can't... I need to get someone else to show you the spell. I'm sorry."

"What? Why?" Rose asked him, trying not to show her disappointment.

"I just..." he swallowed hard, and Rose thought she saw him blushing just the tiniest bit. "I'm sorry, I need to..." He took a step towards the door, but Rose caught onto his sleave and he stopped. "What is it Professor?" she asked, looking into his eyes. She thought she could see the same longing that she felt for him, but reflected in his eyes toward her.

"I..." He thought he really should leave, she was a student afterall... It was not right for him to have such feelings like this for her... Romantic feelings... But he couldn't get his feet to move, it was like he was rooted right to the spot, looking into her beautiful blue eyes that looked to him like deep blue oceans of emotion. She wanted him too... He swallowed, leaning forward so slowly, seeing how she didn't pull back and in fact seem to inch forward toward him just slightly, her full red lips parted just a little... And then he was brushing his lips against hers so softly, she wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his around her waist and pulled her closer against him. He kissed her with all the passion that he held inside from last year when he fell in love with her, but he had to keep it a secret. It was hard not to love her, with all her brains and her beauty and her sweet personality. She was always so friendly to everyone, and he had to admit that that was something he really liked in a girl. And now here she was...here they were, kissing in his classroom, and it was clear she felt the same way about him. His heart felt so full of emotions he hardly even knew where to start sorting them out.

When they finally pulled apart they both gasped for breath, breathing heavy and looking at eachother with big grins on their faces. "I..." Rose said, not knowing what to say. "That was..."

"Amazing," said Mr. Smith, grinning as wide as Rose was. "I... I wanted to do that for a long time" he admitted, looking down at the floor and then glancing back up at her.

"Me too," she admitted to him.

"So...what now?" he asked, unsure of where they stood or what would be happening. It was all so new for him. Although he had a couple girlfriends in the past, he didn't have any recently and he'd never felt about anyone else the way he felt for Rose. He didn't want to screw it up.

"Well you could start by asking me out on a date silly!" Rose joked, smiling very wide and grabbing his hand. He ran his thumb over the back of her hand and she grinned at him.

"Oh, of course," he said, looking a bit embarrassed like he wished he thought of that first. "So, Rose Tyler... would you like to go on a date with on Friday night?"

"Oh I don't know," she pretended to think. "I think I might have another date that night..." she joked.

"Oh..." he looked a bit panicked, and he went all red. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you..."

"I'm kidding, silly!" She swatted his arm playfully. "Of course I'll go on a date with you! I'd love to!"

"Oh," he looked very relieved, grinning. "Well how about at 8:30 at the Hogs Head in Hogsmead?"

"I'll be there," she promised, leaning up to give him a quick little kiss on the lips. He kissed her on the cheek and she squeezed his hand before grabbing up her books and wand and making her way to the door. "See you then," she called giving him a wave. He smiled and waved back before she slipped out the door.

When rose got out the door, she leaned back against the wall and sighed happily. It was finally happening! All she dreamed about for the last two years. A huge happy grin spread across her face as she clutched her books to her chest and gave out a blissful sigh. But then some Ravenclaw's walked by and looked at her funny, so she hurried back up to her dorm to drop off her books before the detention they all had later.

"I really wish I hadn't had any of that beer," Donna grumbled as she sorted dried smelly weeds and roots into boxes. Snape had made them organize his Potions supply cupboard, so that was where they were now, her, Rose, Harry and Martha all sorting out weird things in the small cupboard.

"Tell me about it," moaned Martha, looking up from Gillyweed that she was separating from Wolfsbane.

"Miss Noble," came a deep voice from outside the cupboard.

Donna swallowed in apprehension. "Yes sir?" she called.

"May I speak with you a moment?" Snape asked.

Donna looked around at the others, kind of worried. "Yes sir, coming right out," she told him and then squeezed past Martha who patted her on the shoulder in a sympathetic way. "Good luck" she whispered as Donna went out of the closet.

Donna stumbled out of the door and almost bumped into Snape who was standing right outside the door. "Yes sir, you wanted to see me?" she said in a timid voice. She hoped Snape wouldn't see the heat that was coming to her cheeks under his intense gaze.

"I think we should talk in my office miss Noble, if you would like to follow me." He turned and began to walk to his office and Donna followed him, gulping nervously. She didn't know what she did to get in trouble this time. I mean, she was already here for detention wasn't she? It was only the first day of classes, she hadn't done anything else wrong.

She followed him into his office and he closed the door. "Sit down miss Noble" he offered, gesturing at a chair and he perched on the edge of his desk. Donna sat down, looking up anxiously to see what her punishment was going to be... or even what she had done wrong.

"Is this yours, Miss Noble?" he asked, picking a purple book up from beside him.

Donna's heart jumped when she saw it. It was her diary! "Oh!" she exclaimed, leaning forward in her chair and she blushed a deep crimson right down to the roots of her hair. "That...that's my diary! Where did...where did you get that, sir?" she asked, fidgeting nervously in her chair. Oh god, she hoped he didn't look in it! She would die if he did.

"I found it just outside in the corridor," he explained.

"Oh god! It must have fallen out of my bag!" she said covering her mouth in horror.

"I opened it up to see who it belonged to," Snape told her, "and i couldn't help noticing my name written in the text, so I read just a bit of it..."

"Oh God!" Donna covered her face and blushed even more, if that was possible. He read it! Now she was going to be in SO much trouble for sure... She cowered in her chair with her face covered and waited for him to tell her that she had detention until she was 35, but he didn't. He just said:

"I... I read what you wrote about me," he said, his voice was unusually soft, softer then usual. "I wanted you to know that I..." He paused.

She dared to peek through her fingers and she saw that he had a caring and emotional expression. He cleared his throat, it was obviously hard for him to say whatever he was trying to say. "I...feel the same way about you, Donna."

Donna almost felt her heart stop in her chest as she heard those words. No... he couldn't be telling the truth...could he? Could he really share her feelings?

"I..." He moved closer to her, kneeling down and looking into her eyes. "I love you, Donna." His voice was quiet and he sounded so honest that Donna dared to believe him. "Professor," she breathed in surprise, "I..."

"Please, call me Severus," he told her, bringing his hand up to rest against the side of her face.

"Severus..." she said softly, "I love you too... I just didn't think... well I never thought you could feel the same as me..." Her heart was fluttering and her hands were trembling with all the emotion he was evoking in her. For so long she had wished for this moment... and now he was right here, right in front of her, touching her... She was leaning forward unconsciously, and the tension was killing her, was he going to kiss her?

And then slowly he began to lean forward and brushed his lips against hers and she thought she must be dreaming, until he deepened the kiss and pushed his tonge past her lips, and she thought this must be what heaven felt like. She'd waited all her life for her first kiss and now here it was... and it was so wonderful. It was everything she'd ever dreamed of. She kissed him back passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her caught up in the emotion of fervour. He ran his fingers through her long red hair, outpouring all the passion he'd held inside for so long because there had never been anyone who cared about him...Not since...well it didn't do any good for him to dwell on her now, she was gone and she had never wanted him anyway... but Donna...Donna did want him, and she was here right now, in the moment, and she was beautiful and caring and... she had red hair and green eyes just like...her. Lily. No! She's gone Severus, forget about her! He hoped in time that he could.
