Chapter 2

The final bell rang for the day and Hermione quickly gathered her books and raced out of Charms without saying goodbye to her friends.

"Yes Miss Granger?" Minerva asked looking over her glasses.

"I'm here for detention" she answered standing before the teacher's desk.

"Take a seat" Minerva said without looking from the scroll in front of her. Hermione choice a desk in the middle and opened her books to begin her homework. Ten minutes into the detention, Hermione was getting bored of schoolwork. She grabbed her wand and hid it underneath her robes. Muttering the spell she gave a quick flick of her wand then looked back down at her book.

Minerva was busily marking papers when she saw something move in the corner. This time Hermione had pressed herself again Minerva kissing her fiercely. Minerva, at the desk, wondered when they would stop to breathe but they never did. Instead Hermione started undressing her professor. Heart racing, Minerva watched as the image unfold. She frowned feeling aroused by the image of them entangled in each other's embrace.

"Miss Granger! I insist that you stop that immediately" Minerva barked across the room.

"Why?" Hermione questioned looking up.

"It offends me. I am your teacher and you are my student. It could never work and it will certainly never happen!" Minerva shouted quickly gathering her things in her bag and got to her feet. She attempted to leave the room but Hermione quickly rose and blocked the path.

"You didn't answer my question Professor" she whispered looking up at the older witch.

"I just did!" Minerva snapped giving her a piercing look. Without waiting for a response, Minerva pushed past Hermione and left.

"Minerva…" Snape called racing to catch up. "A word" he said looking over Minerva's shoulder seeing Hermione approach. He waited until she was down the hall and out of sight. "About before…" he began glaring at the students walking by.

Hermione raced down the corridors not looking where she was going. She didn't stop until she reached the grounds. The afternoon light was starting to fade; Hermione slowly walked over to a big tree and sat down in the shade. Hermione leaned against the trunk and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried with all her might not to cry. "It offends me. I am your teacher and you are my student. It could never work and it will certainly never happen!" Minerva's words haunted her mind. 'If she only gave me a chance!' she sighed slamming her books down on the ground. 'Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!' Hermione told herself as tears prickled the back of her eyes. Covering her face with her hands, she took several deep breaths. Mustering up all her courage, Hermione stood up and slowly made her way back to the Gryffindor tower.

"Did you see McGonagall's face?" Ron said as she entered the common room.

"Thought she was going to rip Snape's head off" Harry laughed hoping she would've.

"What happened?" Hermione asked quickly rushing over to the couch.

"Snape was giving McGonagall a hard time" Ron whispered quietly.

"Mi-" but Hermione stopped herself in time from shouting out her lover's name. "Poor Professor McGonagall" she sighed. "What did Snape say?" Hermione frowned placing her books down on the floor.

"He was mumbling but the look on McGonagall's face said it all" Harry explained looking over at his friend.

"Where are you going?" Ron frowned seeing Hermione get to her feet and move towards the door.

"I left my books in the library" she lied and left. Harry and Ron looked at each other confused seeing her books lying on the floor.

Hermione quickly checked the transfiguration class encase Minerva was there. Finding it empty, Hermione rushed towards the first floor and towards Minerva's chambers. She softly knocked on the door and waited for a reply. Hearing nothing, she turned the handle to find it unlocked. Pushing back the door, she found Minerva sitting on her bed facing the wall. Hermione quickly moved to her side and sat down next to her. Hermione gently wrapped her arms her shoulders,

"Are you ok?" she asked as Minerva slightly turned her head towards Hermione. It had been evident that Minerva had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy and she had a case of the sniffles.

"We shouldn't" Minerva whispered rubbing her eyes and untangled herself from Hermione.

"It because of what Snape said, isn't it?" she muttered getting to her feet.

"Yes" Minerva's voice was low and anxious and somehow much more human than usual. Hermione turned back around to face her. She squatted down in front of her and wiped away the tears running down her cheeks.

"Who cares what he thinks!" Hermione cried.

"Miss Granger…" Minerva scolded. 'And McGonagall's back' Hermione sighed. "He is a Hogwarts teacher; you shouldn't say things like that. Plus if he is thinking it then the whole school must as well" she explained.

"Is that so?" Hermione queried raising an eyebrow. "Ron and Harry don't have a clue" she chuckled. "Snape thinks he knows because he spotted us" Hermione shrugged climbing up onto the bed.

"But…" Minerva began to protest but Hermione placed a finger over her mouth. She leant in close and pressed her own lips against Minerva. Hermione expected to be pushed away but Minerva did not fight back.

"Get some rest Minerva" Hermione said breaking off the kiss and helped her lie back against her pillows. "I'll see you later" she smiled and silently left the room.

Minerva slowly rose from her restless slumber and moved to her bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face and changed into a clean robe. Taking a breath, she then left and headed for the Great Hall for dinner. Minerva knew if she looked around, especially at the Gryffindor table, she would not be able to continue walking. Instead she stared at the floor and walked to the head table. Not watching where she was walking, she nearly collided with Ron Weasley who had piled his plate skt high with food. Mumbling an apology she then continued towards the head table. Sitting down in her usual seat, she quickly grabbed some food onto her plate not wanting to draw attention to herself. Her stomach felt sick and instead of eating dinner she just pushed the food around with her fork.

"Professor, are you unwell?" Albus asked beside her. She didn't reply, just looked up over at the Gryffindor table and blinked in surprise to see Hermione staring at her. "Minerva?" Albus questioned again placing his hand on her arm. Minerva looked up and smiled faintly.

"Just a little tired" she lied. Her heart began to race knowing Hermione was watching her every move. With shaky legs, Minerva pushed back her chair excusing herself from dinner. She quietly slipped out of the hall and went back to her chambers. Shutting the door behind her, she moved over to her arm chair and sunk down in it. "How is this possible? Miss Granger is nowhere near here" Minerva frowned seeing the young witch walk towards her.

Hermione stood before Minerva and climbed onto her lap. "Hermione" Minerva squeaked causing her to smile. Minerva took a deep breath as Hermione leaned forward and kissed her. She then placed soft kissed all the way down Minerva's neck. "Hermione…" Minerva groaned but the young witch didn't respond.

Closing her eyes she could still see Hermione as bright as day. Her brown eyes glistening with lust, her bushy brown hair tied back into a ponytail and the ceiling light danced off her light skin. Minerva groaned at the back of her throat as pleasure ripped through her whole body. She thrust her eyes open needing to touch Hermione's smooth skin.

Frowning she looked around the empty room realising she had gone. Minerva looked down and saw her own hand giving her pleasure. Removing her hand from her pants, she leaned against the back of the arm chair and breathed deeply. 'What just happened…' she muttered to herself as he began to freak out about her feeling. One thing she was certain of; she wanted to touch every inch of Hermione Granger, she wanted to make her scream, see how long they could survive with no air from extensive making out. Sighing, Minerva pushed herself out of the chair and moved to have a shower. 'Then I MUST mark the first years papers' she sternly told herself shutting the bathroom door behind her.

"Follow me Miss Granger" McGonagall said appearing behind Hermione in the great hall.

"I'll see you guys later" she said quickly packing up her things and followed McGonagall into her office. Hermione took a seat and waited for McGonagall to speak.

"I've called you in here because we need to talk" Hermione took a deep breath and nodded her head. "Your school girl crush, it is inappropriate and shouldn't even happen" McGonagall stated staring at Hermione.

"It's NOT a crush, I love you Minerva!" Hermione shouted jumping to her feet.

"Well you need to get over it" McGonagall frowned. Hermione stumbled back on her feet and drew out her want. "Hermione…" someone called shaking her. "HEMRIONE!" they screamed. Opening her eyes she found Minerva staring down at her with Ginny standing behind.

"You had a nightmare" Minerva explained watching Hermione shake violently.

"Where is everyone?" Hermione asked looking around the empty dorm room.

"They've all gone for breakfast. You were screaming in your sleep and holding tightly onto your wand so I stayed behind" Ginny replied stepping around Minerva to be by her friend side.

"Thank you Miss Weasley. You may go join your classmates in the Great Hall" Minerva smiled. Once Ginny had left, Minerva turned back to Hermione and examined her with worried eyes.

"It was horrible" Hermione whimpered flinging her arms around Minerva.

"It's all over" she reassured gently patting her to the back. Hermione let go of Minerva and leaned back against the wall. "What?" Minerva frowned seeing Hermione smiling at her.

"Nothing" she shrugged kicking back the covers. Minerva got off her bed and stood by the door.

"I'll wait for you in the common room" she said quickly disappearing out of the room. Hermione nodded her head and slowly got changed. Minerva looked up seeing Hermione coming down the stairs. "Are you able to walk to the Great Hall?" she asked seeing Hermione walk cautiously with shaky legs. "You need to eat something to get your strength back" she smiled watching Hermione move to her side.

"I'll make it" Hermione paused to stare up at Minerva. "If you are by my side ready to catch me if I fall" Hermione added quietly. Minerva smiled weakly and guided her through the portrait of Gryffindor tower and down towards The Great Hall for breakfast.

When they reached their destination, Ginny rushed up to them.

"How are you feeling now?" she asked ignoring McGonagall. "I saved you a seat" Ginny smiled dragging Hermione over to the table. Minerva shook her head as she walked to the head table. On her way past, she stared at Hermione concerned.

"What's wrong with her?" Harry whispered seeing their Professor pass. Ron shrugged his shoulder, mouth stuffed with food. "Hermione?" Harry called. "Everything alright?" he frowned noticing she was tense.

"Yes and why does everyone have to keep questioning me about how I am feeling! So what if I slept in on Saturday, it's not a crime!" she snapped and hurried out of the hall.

"What's up with her?" Ron questioned. Ginny gave a disapproving glare and quickly followed her friend. Ginny found Hermione hiding under one of the trees on the grounds.

"What's wrong?" she asked quietly as she plonked down beside her on the grass.

"Nothing" Hermione sobbed looking away.

"It's ok if you don't want to tell me. You're like a sister to me and I just wish you were yourself again" Ginny sighed.

"Can we just sit here for a while?" Hermione asked looking back at her friend to reveal tear stained cheeks. Ginny smiled faintly and rested her head on Hermione's shoulder.

Approximately twenty minutes later they both looked up seeing McGonagall standing before them.

"We need to talk" McGonagall mumbled. Hermione's heart leapt up into her throat at the thought.

"I'll leave you two alone then" Ginny said getting to her feet.

"No…!" Hermione groaned also getting to her feet. Minerva narrowed her eyes on Hermione and gestured that she follow her to her office.

"Please, take a seat" Minerva said pulling out the chair. She quickly strode around the desk and sat down in her own large chair.

"Am I in trouble?" Hermione squeaked hoping her nightmare wouldn't become reality.

"Why would you say that?" Minerva queried raising an eyebrow.

"Why else would you bring me into your office?" she frowned confused.

"I want you to tell me about this morning" Minerva replied.

"Ah…" Hermione stopped.

"You can trust me, I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to" she smiled faintly.

"Ok" Hermione sighed shifting in her seat. "I had a nightmare" she mumbled avoiding looking at Minerva.

"About…" Minerva questioned

"You" Hermione blushed suddenly looking up at her.

"What happened?" Minerva asked leaning forward closer to Hermione.

"You rejected me" Hermione answered after a long pause. Minerva stared at Hermione in awe.

"I would never…" she began but Hermione cut her off.

"Days ago you said it offended you? So why would you promise something like that!" Hermione yelled. Her heart racing with the odd possibility Minerva had changed her mind. "Say something!" she screamed after several minutes of uncomfortable silence. Muttering to herself, Hermione got to her feet and stormed out of the room.

"Hermione…" Minerva called but she didn't stop.
