The morning started with a bang. Or, in Snape's case, 'Blue Orchid' by the White Stripes. His eyes flew open wide in surprise, and he fell out of the bed with an "Oomf!"
When he dragged himself up from the floor, he was shocked to see Bethany in such a manner.
She was half dressed, singing along to the American Muggle music, swinging around... a shiny stripper pole. She hooked a leg around it, then flipped upside down on it, when she noticed him.
"Good morning, Severus!" she chimed.
"What is that racket?" he grumped as usual.
"It's muggle music! They sure know how to loosen up!" Bethany chirped.
'Ugh. Morning person,' thought Snape as her hair brushed along the floor.
"Come on, silly! We've got to go get ourselves cleaned up for class!"
"You're absolutely SURE about what you saw?" Harry asked.
"Yes. I swear!" Seamus crossed his heart.
"That git! If he puts a hand on her, I'll get his head on a pike!" Ron snarled.
"Ron, that's unreasonable," Ginny sighed. "She's a grown woman. If she wants to... go shagging one of our professors, she can. Even if he IS Snape."
"Well, perhaps we should get a closer look. See if she was just wishing him goodnight or something," Seamus offered. "We'll follow her around, and if she starts snogging him, we'll know for sure."
"And we'll be sick," Ron muttered.
A few minutes later, they caught sight of her. Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Seamus quietly followed her into the shower room. It was quite steamy, and humid to boot, as Ginny found out by the curls forming in her hair. Her Aunt Timble stepped in front of an empty shower, and began undressing. Ron covered his eyes.
"Do we HAVE to follow her the whole day?" Harry whispered to Seamus, who seemed to be drinking in the sight quite well.
"Of course! If we miss a moment, she might do it and we won't know!" Seamus hissed back.
Bethany had begun undressing further, and Ron and Harry left, unable to bear it. They DID have Transfiguration class first, after all, and it WAS Ron's aunt. They left under the invisibility cloak, just as Severus entered. He was carrying his class robes, as well as some emerald ones for Bethany and a few toiletries.
"Bethany, darling," Severus pecked her cheek with a kiss, just as Seamus had rubbed his eyes, missing it. "You forgot your robes for today."
Ginny and Seamus left, as Bethany had removed the last article of clothing, and they weren't supposed to be there anyway.
"Thank you, Severus dear." Bethany turned to receive her robes, then proceeded to shower with Snape.
