Chapter 6

Ginny looked around the hall nervously holding onto Draco's hand.

"Are you SURE this is going to work?"

"Yes, I've been watching them for a few days now, they always cross at the same point- if I can just place it at the right time, it should only give them a scare. Who knew the Weasley shop was good for something? I am SO excited to try the fireflacker that your brothers gave to you." Draco looked around suspiciously almost like a 007 spy.

"Draco, they are coming- hurry up." Ginny encouraged.

Malfoy held the Fireflacker and saw Granger and Snape walking in opposite directions and they were the only two in the hallway- this was perfect. He stepped out of the way quickly, throwing the fireflacker near Hermione and as soon as Snape and Hermione got close enough Draco set a spell on the fireflaker "Ornimbundus" he whispered as his wand carried through with the spell.

Hermione was walking quietly admiring Snape's body as she suddenly felt an explosion that scared her to death.

"Help!" She cried while smoke surrounded her. She yelled "Somebody help me, please!"

Severus heard the explosion- he turned around to see what the noise was when he found Hermione yelling for help. He immediately ran to her aid- and called for her loudly, he reached for her, and then carried her out of the smoke. He looked like she was his bride going over the threshold.

They stopped walking and all time stood still, they began to stare at one another as they mutually felt incredible passion for one another. It was very evident by anyone who happened to walk nearby that they both wanted so much more than what was appropriate.

"Don't worry Ms. Granger, I will find the snits who did this to you." He said angered.

She loved how gently he carried her, and she liked how he seemed so insistent on avenging this wrong against her. Almost like he was protecting her- she knew she longed to be his.

She began to reflect on the fantasies she had of him, how she wanted to completely explore his cock with her hands and then take it into her mouth, how she wanted to brew a potion with him while naked and then fall to the floor in ecstasy careful not to spill the contents of the boiling potion, how she wanted more than anything to give herself to him, and feel him penetrate deep inside of her, again, and again, and again. Hermione looked like she was dazed out and in shock.

Snape used his leglimency skills to look inside of her mind to see if she was alright. After all, there had just been a HUGE explosion. He needed to find out if she was in shock or not. That's when he saw her fantasties he immediately dropped her to the ground.

"Well, I do apologize Ms. Granger." He explained.

"It's ok. I understand, you didn't mean to drop me." She smiled at him.

"I have to go now- get to classes and I'll figure out who did this later on." He swept through the hallway to his door- his robes swishing behind him which Hermione found so sexy. He smiled at her with a knowing look- she suddenly knew that he had read her mind. Damn his leglimency skills!

"I'd do it too Professor Snape" she exclaimed. "By the way, I KNOW you read my mind. You know, you shouldn't do that- that isn't very nice. Don't I deserve my privacy?"

"I do apologize for that, I was just worried about your condition- you seemed out of sorts."

'I am out of sorts- I wish someone would help me to get into sorts.' Hermione thought knowing full well she had crossed a boundary.

"Have a good day Ms. Granger." Snape said as he slammed the door on her and ran as far as possible away from her.

-----------------------------------

Why in the hell had she been thinking about him in that way? Falling to the floor in passion while making a potion- why that was preposterous! What a silly little witch- and then he thought about it- and grew harder than he was before. It wasn't silly at all, it was perhaps one of the sweetest, most erotic thoughts he had ever seen.

Gods be damned that he couldn't do a thing to help her out. Did she know what she made him feel whenever she was around?

It was just wrong- he couldn't let her get under his skin like that,

'oh how I would love to let her get under me though'

His thoughts were taking him over, she was all he could think about. He had even messed up a potion for the students in her class by telling them to add an extra ingredient. He was too distracted watching her beautiful body and wondering if he would ever be able to have her.

Damn this all to hell- he could lose his job over her and if anyone else knew about his thoughts he would and should lose his job. She was of age- but he was twenty years older- isn't there a law against that or something? He knew plenty of couples in the wizarding world that had large age differences- but they didn't exactly have the teacher to student relationship that he did with Hermione. He had only just recently begun to take notice of her as she had blossomed into a sexy woman.

'Oh how I would love to carress her naked, milky white body and make love to her that she would never ever forget.'

He bit down really hard on the back of his hand, it hurt like hell and he decided that no matter how many scars he created, every time he even began to think about her in a sensual way he was going to bite the back of his hand and then the thought would stop, wouldn't it?

As it was, he was going to have to hide behind the teaching table all day to avoid revealing the raging erection he got from reading into her thoughts.

'Naughty, naughty Ms. Granger' he pondered.

If only- if only he could change the rules. He was trapped- unless.. unless he was secretive about their mutual interests. Oh this would never work.

-----------------------------------"Ginny, did you see that? The way he carried her and all? The way they looked at each other?" Draco said laughing.

"The way they spoke to each other as though they were lovers through dreams only." Ginny added. "Oh Draco- what are we going to do? I want Hermione to be happy, but should we be worried about the fact that he is her professor?"

"They obviously need each other a lot- and they know it. It's a lot like you and I honeybun. And I need you NOW- we'll talk more about them later- how about a shag?"

"Ok, but we have to hurry or we'll miss our next class." Ginny explained.

"Do you really care about missing a class when you could have a piece of this ass?" he flirted.

"You are SO dirty Slytherin! And to answer your question- no- I don't care. Now let's go find a place besides the closet."

Hermione was beyond frustrated- against her own will Severus Snape had read her thoughts and he saw that she was thinking about him and her together in shared passion. He had dropped her immediately- and was in a sudden rush to get away from her. Did she disgust him THAT much?

She only wanted to get under his robes, to feel his body next to hers and to feel him take her virginity.

As she thought about this her clock returned- damn it she thought- how fair was it that he could do this to her? Hermione walked towards the bathroom to find release and she knew as she did that she would think of him and only him.

Severus Snape, the one man that she wanted to have but couldn't, unless...
