Hello again to all! For those of you who haven't *cough, cough* everyone *cough, cough* please go on my poll and tell me what else I should start working on. I will continue to try and update as much as posible so please don't get to mad if I go a week without.

Now the moment you've all been waiting for. Back to the story!

The first class of Ancient Runes went by relatively quickly and quietly, however the next class of Defense Against the Dark Arts things got a little more interesting. Snape had taken over the whole room, as could be seen by the candle light and the gruesome pictures lining the walls.

Being paired off to practice nonverbal charms the group paired as; Harry and Ron, and Hermione and Kagome. Everything was going well until Snape tried to show Ron how to properly cast a silent charm, which ended in embarrassment on Snape's part and Harry getting Saturday evening detention.

As the class ended all of the students were leaving when Snape called for Kagome to stay. Getting the "good luck" look from her friends she just waves them off with a roll of her eyes.

"You wanted to see me professor?" she waited to speak until everyone was gone, leaving her alone with the dark, angry, looking man.

Motioning for her to come closer to his desk, he takes his seat and begins moving parchments over into neat stacks. "Madam Pomfrey came to me this morning, she said you were having trouble sleeping and asked her for something to help." Looking up into Kagome's eyes, "Why didn't you tell me about your troubles? You know I can help you."

Feeling guilty Kagome is the first to break eye contact, "I didn't ask you because I'm not really having troubles." Seeing he wasn't following she continues, "Hermione saw me coming in last night, I told her I started sleepwalking over the summer and said that I haven't been sleeping well. She told me to ask Madam Pomfrey, so I did, but when Madam Pomfrey said to ask you I couldn't do it. I don't want you to worry about me, I'm fine I'm a big girl, you know this."

"It may be true that I know what a 'big girl' you are, but I still worry, no matter what past you come from." He stands slowly and moves to where she is placing a gentle hand on her face and gazing into her eyes.

Smiling she leans up and kisses him softly breaking the kiss slowly, "I thought we didn't care about each other's past. All we have to worry about is the here and now."

"Kagome." He whispers her name like it's the most valued of his hidden secrets. "It's the here and now that I'm worried about."

"Shhh," she smiles covering his lips with her finger, "Severus, right here and right now we don't have anything to worry about; no war, no demons, no Dark Lord. Right now it's just you and me, that's it, nothing more nothing less." And with that she leans up and kisses him again.

This time wrapping her arms around his neck and letting her fingers tangle in his hair. He leans down and deepens the kiss wrapping his hands at her waist, pulling her tightly to his frame. Causing her to moan at the closeness and starting the battle for dominance in her mouth. Pulling her gently to the edge of his desk he slides his hands down her body, to the back of her legs, lifting her to sit on the wooden object that they have used so often for this sole purpose.

Long legs come up to wrap around his waist, bringing him closer to her core. His hands make quick work of her uniform shirt and tie, ripping both away from her generously supple chest as he plants his kisses lower on her neck. Mewing and moaning for more she grips one hand in his hair while the other slides down his chest to his belt. Making quick work of his belt her hand slips leisurely into his trousers to find him hard and waiting. She slowly strokes him up and down as he slides his skilled hand up to her core.

Their lips lock in another battle for dominance as he removes her panties and moves his hips to take their place. He sets a quick pace for her to keep up with as he thrust up faster and faster into her core. Swallowing her moans, he brings his hands up to her chest to continue the torment on her body. Both moving faster to get what they desire, they fall over the edge in bliss. The orgasm wracking both their bodies as they pant to catch the breath they lost.

Running his hands through her hair, softly pulling at knots that formed during the previous activity, he leans down to capture her mouth with his again. Basking in the feelings of one another he smiles at her and starts going about making her look presentable again. Bending down to pick up her forgotten underwear, he looks up at her with a raised eyebrow, and holds them up for her to see.

Smiling she shrugs her shoulders, "What? Don't you like them?"

He looks down at the emerald-green and silver stripped article and couldn't stop the smirk forming on his face. "On the contrary, my house colors have never looked so utterly delicious before." Blushing she grabs the item and puts them on before sliding off his desk and continuing to right herself.

He reaches into one of the draws and pulls out a vial, handing it to her, "Take one drop before you go to sleep and you will get a restful night, any more than that and you will have nightmares. Understand."

Reaching up and grabbing the bottle, "Yes, Severus, I understand. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Kagome, but please come to me next time you know I worry."

Leaning up and kissing him with a smile, "Yes Professor." With that she turns around to gather her things and head upstairs for lunch. No doubt the other Gryffindors were worried about her being gone so long. Turning as she reaches the door, "I will see you around Professor."

Neither of them noticing the pair of eyes watching the whole encounter with a shocked look on their face.

Ohhhhh... Cliffy. Well you know what to do.

Oh and feel free to guess who was watching we'll see who was right next chapter.
