Chapter 9

For some reason he was anticipating her arrival in the great hall. The sight of her brown hair was what would put him at rest. He had spent the whole night tossing and turning the smell of her clinging to her pillow that she had used. Why was he in such lust with a girl bad enough that it was his student but they shared one kiss that was all?

When he saw her walk threw his breath caught, she was wearing her usual uniform but she was shockingly beautiful it seemed that the youngest Weasley wasn't as useless as she seemed. Nevertheless, he could feel her nervousness as if she sent out a warning that she didn't want people looking at her. She was still the same she still didn't like attention the youngest Weasley probably had to do a lot of convincing.

She looked up at him, and glared than sat down having half the male population ogling her he felt rage fill him. How could she look like that probably to spit him?

Shockingly she let Ginny make over her look as soon as she let her story spill. At first Ginny was angry but decided it was time for payback, and she was always interested in something sneaky.

Looking around he noticed he wasn't the only male teacher to notice her. The new defense against the dark arts teacher was ogling her as well. He felt a streak of jealousy rip threw him how dare he look at her like that.

Hermione sat there, everyone was looking at her. Ginny was on the verge of laughing.

"Loosen up there bookworm," she teased, she just glared than started eating. It was Wednesday, the middle of the week, dear god let it end soon she thought as she pushed her food around.

She wasn't hungry anymore at all her first class was potions and it was to be as usual. Pushing her plate away she got up.

"Here ua goina, Mmifd," Ron said food in his mouth he gulped it down then spoke," were you going Mione."

"Just out for a walk or something, I'm not really hungry see you guys in class," she said smiling then leaving, reassuring her friends that she was all right.

Severus gave his leave, for some reason he needed to leave now that he was not longer needed in this place.

Making it to the front steps, he saw her, just sitting there against the tree by the lake, he felt pulled to her as if he had to go to her.

It was October and the air was chilly why would she be out here with out a sweater. Slowly he made his way to her. Obviously, she was drifting away, her eyes were glassy and her face was remote. She didn't even hear his footfall, she just stayed there unaffected.

Standing there, he wondered how long he should wait before snapping her out of it, but at last, his wish was granted and she looked up at him.

The thought of her parents and this weekend drifted into her head, for some reason Dumbledore gave them the weekend off to go home because some of the Canadian students he said had an occasion called Thanksgiving. No one knew that she stayed at home by herself every year, all by herself. She wondered if her parents were actually going to be there, when was the last time she saw them, geeze three years ago last Christmas. Then she heard a foot snap a twig and her headshot up and she looked up at him.

Scurrying to her feet she looked at him, he looked so perfect, so strong and pretty. He would hate that if anyone called him pretty he would think himself handsome.

"Professor," she said looking up at him; he just stared down at her.

"Ms. Granger," he started but didn't know how to get the words out," I was crash and uncivilized towards you I know and I want to… apologize."

She looked at him shocked did he just say he wanted to apologize.

"What for, sir," she said in a husky voice she didn't even recognize as her own.

"That morning when I just snapped at you, I wasn't thinking about your feelings, I'm sorry," he said and she smiled at him," what's so funny."

"No I'm not laughing its just that I am the first student probably ever to get an apology from you," she said, and he chuckled.

"Yah you're probably right," he said, he gave a laugh one that he hadn't heard in years. It sounded so foreign to him but so nice. How was she able to bring such laughter and peace to his life and on the other hand make it so confusing and annoying?

The stared at each other they were a couple feet away; they were sheltered from the school from behind the tree. No one could see them, unless they walked all the way around the tree to look at her.

"But I think that Dumbeldore planned this for some reason I feel it," she said, moving her feet awkwardly.

"The old coot probably did to, but I must warn you that when your tested you have to stay strong, Lucius is going to try and break threw your mind to get information you have to resist him," he said grabbing her shoulders. Staring up at him with chocolate orbs she couldn't' believe he was warning her. She was speechless.

Finally, on an animal growl he pulled her to him capturing her mouth in a knee wobbling earth-moving kiss. Her hands by her side she curved into him, she was stunned. Finally, her instincts tuning in she shoved her hands in his hair holding on for dear life bringing him closer. She felt like a wanton and wanton she acted like.

The last kiss that they had shared in his courtiers didn't even scratch this, the way he used his tongue to plunder her mouth left her out of breath and unable to push him away but instead kept pulling him closer. She had never felt this animal need just over take her.

Both breaking apart for breath they looked at each other. That was the most earth-shattering kiss she had ever had, and for some reason she felt the need for more, much more to be controlled by him taken over.

"We can't be doing this," he said practically mumbling it. He took the words out of her mouth.

"I know but that's not stopping me from doing this again," she said grabbing his face and kissing him again with just as much need as he had. The tilting of the world happened again.

Breaking apart, they decided it was time to get back to the school.

"Ms. Granger we have to keep this secret if anyone found out I would loose my job and you might get expelled," he said as they walked back to the school.

"No, I read hogwarts of History 14 edition and it says that a teacher can have sexual relations with a student as long as she is over 17 and I turned it on September 15," she said and he looked at her in awe," and besides I can't be expelled I have the best grades."

"Well you thought of everything," he said smiling, he couldn't' believe he knew a woman like this, she was a sly one so much like a Slytherin it made him proud.

"No I just remember practically everything why do you think everyone calls me the dictionary," she said and he nodded smiling to himself.

"Hermione," they saw Ginny running towards them as they got up the steps," hey professor, what have you two been doing."

"Shut up Gin, what is it," she asked laughing at Snapes face, he was in shock.

"We have a problem someone's here looking for you, and two are muggles but the other one is a wizard," she said and Hermione gave Severus a weird look as they headed into the school.

What muggles would be coming to see her know, she didn't know any other muggles beside her…. oh shit!
