Sit back relax and enjoy the reading!

"Maybe it's not so bad" Celeste said bored while she was looking into one of my textbooks.
"Not so bad! I was laying ontop of the man!" I shrieked and Celeste blinked slowly two times and then looked at me.
"I hear you. But he didn't hex you and he didn't tell you to go to hell ,so why are you freaking out?" She asked and I stared at her.
"He is my colleague, and I can't under any circumstances be UNDER him!" I said and she rolled her eyes.
"And yet you were, are you going to hell for that? No! God woman you are in love with him!" She said and I gaped at her.
"I'm not in love with him!" I said and she just nodded and smiled like any other shrink. "I'm attracted to him, that's true. But not in love with him!" That was way to early to say that I was in love with him. I turned to Celeste again after pacing in the room a couple of times.
"Maybe I should just sleep with him and get him out of my system?" I said and she looked a bit green.
"Please do!" She said and then looked down at the book. "But if you sleep with him doesn't that mean that he get's into your system?" She asked and I threw a pillow at her.
"But I can't sleep with him, we are working together" I said after I had calmed down.
"Isn't that exactly what grandpa and grandma are doing?" She asked and then looked like she mentally slapped herself. I frowned.
"And who are they?"
"McGonagall and Dumbledore, I call them grandma and grandpa" She said smiling and I nodded.
"Yes you'r right. But they are married. No if I sleep with Severus it will only be wierd between us, my goal was to get him to talk nicely to me and not to shag him"
"And his goal is to shag you" She mumbled and I stared at her.
"What!" I shrieked she looked up and smirked.
"I'm just kidding. But he is attracted to you" She said and I sat down in the sofa.
"The erection that was poking my stomach was proof of that" I said and she groaned.
"Ew"
"And he is huge, Celeste I'm not kidding-"
"EW!" She said and stood up. "If you need me you will find me in the girls bathroom throwing up my dinner!" She called and then walked out. I knew that Severus reminded her of her father, but why was she so sensetive? I shook my head and walked over to my desk and started grading tests.
I remember what Severus had said in the teachers about how the level of know it alls had grown since I was at hogwarts...From one to three...And they truly were a pain in the neck. I appriciated that they were so eager to learn, but please did they have to be so very competitive! If one of them wrote two pages the other one wrote four and so on. I had only requested a two page writing assignment and I they had written eight pages, front and back!
I groaned and started to take of my outer robe and then transfiured my robes to simple jeans and a black tank top. Then by no reason I looked down at my wrist, and my bracelet wasn't there. I took up my outer robe and started to check the sleves if it was hanging in one of them. When I didn't find it I did took up my wand.
"Accio bracelet!" I said but nothing happened. "Shit" I said and then started to walk for the door. I must have dropped it when I ran into Severus, so I had to go down again. That was my favourite bracelet, and my mom had given it to me. And my mom had gotten it from her mom and so on, and I refused to let it dissapear during my generation!
I opened the door just as someone decided to knock on it.
Severus!
Of course it had to be him! He had never been anywhere near my rooms before and since he was so close now it would be easier to drag him to the bedroom...STOP IT!
"Severus!" I said and he almost smiled. That was the first name I had said his name so he could hear it, unless he had heard it when I was laying in my bed thinking of him wich I definetly didn't think he had. And hoped he never would find out either.
"What are you doing here?" I asked and he held out his hand and I saw my bracelet with the gold star on. I gaped at it.
"This got caught in my robe when we...Fell, I guess it's yours?" He said and I smiled and picked it up from his hand.
"Thank you. I was going to go and look for it now...Thank you Severus" I said and he just nodded.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to get rid of it" He said and I just smiled.
"Of course" I answered and we then just stood there looking at eachother. Then he cleared his throat and started to turn away.
"If you excuse me I have to grade some papers that the know it all squad has turned in. They are almost as bad as you were" He said and I smacked his arm. And he looked back at me with an amused expression.
"I was not worse than them" I said and he rolled his eyes.
"Since I was your teacher I highly disagree, Miss Granger" He said and had turned back to look at me again. I stepped closer to him and met his black gaze.
"And what a teacher you were professor, are you still acting as bastardly and mean as you were when I was your student?" I asked and he sneered.
"Why break a tradition"
"I hope one of your students blow you up" I said with a smile and he chuckled darkly at that and just hearing the laughter made me soak my knickers.
"And I hope one of your students blow you up like a ballon so you will fly away" He said with a smile of his own and after standing glaring at eachother I stepped back from him.
"Good night professor" I said and he backed away a step as well.
"Good night Hermione" He said and I felt heat starting to pool in my stomach when his voice caressed my name. I walked back into my room and was about to close the door...
"Hermione!" Severus called and I looked at him and I stopped closing the door. He smirked at me. "I just have to compliment your taste in underwear, who would have known the gryffindor princess would wear slytherin green knickers. And if I may guess, they are lace" He said and I gaped at him and he winked at me, HE WINKED AT ME!
"Good night Hermione" He said and then walked away.
Next morning!
*CPOV*
As all the mornings of my life I started with braiding my bushy hair into a braid, put on my locket and then got dressed. It didn't really matter that I was in a whole other time trying to get my parents to shag before my birthday, I wasn't going to change my routines. Or some I had to change, I couldn't give dad a hug after the lessons anymore or sneak away to study with Sebastian to study in the middle of the night...
I would never have guessed that I would miss my brother so much. Did he even know I was gone? Did he miss me?
Did James miss me...?
I walked down the stairs and I of course walked into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" I said and backed away and then saw that it was uncle Harry I had walked into. He just smiled at me, like he always did when I saw him.
"No worries Celeste, or can I call you that?" He asked and pulled his fingers through his always messy hair.
"Of course professor, but my friends call me Celle. May I call you Harry?" I asked and he smiled and nodded.
"Then I might as well call you Celle." He said and I smiled even if it hurt a little bit to hear him say that. It was his and James nickame for me back home, they were to only one that called me that. "Are you waiting for Hermione?" He asked and I snapped out from my thoughts.
"I was supposed to meet her outside the gryffindor common room now, you can go with us to breakfast if you want" I said and we walked out to wait for mom. Just when we were outside the common room mom meet us. She looked nervous.
"Hello Harry, Celeste" She said and took Harrys arm in regency style and then took my arm and hooked it with her other one.
"What are you up to?" I asked her and she smirked.
"Oh nothing" She smirked.
*HPOV*
We came into the great hall and only a few couple of students were sitting eating. I saw Severus at the table talking to Minerva and the spot next to him was free, perfect. I let go of Harry and dragged Celeste with me and pushed her down on the chair next to him. he looked at us and raised an eyebrow. Celeste looked uncomfortable and confused and I just smiled at him.
"I really thought you had better taste in clothing" I said and he raised an eyebrow at me. "Beacuse then you would know what a misstake you did last night" I said and he just kept looking at me waiting for me to get to the point. But I just smiled and started to walk away from them.
"What Hermione?" He snapped and I turned around and smirked at him all of my nervousness gone.
"They're silk" I said and for a second he looked confused and then realised what I meant and his eyes widened. He couldn't belive I had said it here where all of the staff could hear. I heard someone groan and then looked at Celeste.
"This is seriously going to kill me" I heard her mumble and I just smiled at her distressed expression, not really knowing what she meant.
