Disclaimer: I do not claim any of JK Rowling's characters and locations to be my own. I am merely using her brain children in my perverted fantasies for your reading pleasures. Please note the characters are not as they are in JK's versions and my stories are not canon (I cannot stand it when I see reviewers on other SS/HG stories complaining that certain parts of their story does not follow what happened in the books…you're reading fan fiction where SS and HG get it on… that whole concept doesn't follow the books lol Rant over haha)

Please leave me a wee review, I love to hear from you guys… it makes me smile!

Enjoy!

Hermione sat in her usual chair in the Hogwart's Library; the one over from the main doors and next to the big open fire. The blissful heat of the fire was not the reason why she loved this particular seat in the room, it was the view of the main doors. She was able to watch the students bustle in and out, see the books being returned and checked out but most importantly, every week day at precisely 7pm, he would swoop into the room to check on the students and offer Madam Pince some added support in 'taming the masses'.

She felt her heart and stomach flutter at the mere thought of him.

Professor Snape.

Severus.

She was desperately in love with her professor and she had been since before the Final Battle. It confused her even now that she had accepted her attraction to him because quite frankly the man had never been anything but unpleasant towards her. He wasn't a poster boy for the ideal partner and he certainly seemed to dislike her with a passion if the past few years were anything to go by. Perhaps she was a bit of a masochist in liking such an unpleasant man who showed her nothing but distain. Perhaps she had foolish notions that she could change him because beneath his tough and cold exterior there was a quiet and lonely man just waiting for some beauty to come along and break down his barriers.

Hermione snorted loudly at the thought of a soft and pathetic Snape and stared into the roaring fire, deep in thought. She wouldn't want him any other way than what he was. A little more of a pleasant personality and a change in attitude towards her would be nice but she had to admit, she liked him snarks, sneers and all.

Her mind was so frantic that night with thoughts of her Potions Professor that she failed to notice the object of her affections sweep through the door and come to silently stand behind her wing-backed chair.

"There is a need for silence in a library Miss Granger, don't you agree?"

Hermione almost dropped the tome in her hand into the fire she jumped with such a jolt when his smooth and rich voice pierced through her musings.

"I'm sorry Sir, you startled me! W- what did you say?" She tried her best not to sound too breathless and she cursed her body for reacting so shamelessly in front of her. Her knickers were already soaked and she knew that she was blushing a lovely shade of red. Whenever she was aroused she blushed from her cheeks, down her neck, passed her breasts and ended at her naval. It was an annoying reaction but at least in her school robes Snape could not see how far down the blush went.

Severus raised his famous eyebrow at her, "My my Miss Granger, is the little know it all flustered? Come now girl, pull yourself together. I was merely asking if you agreed that a library should be a place of silence?"

Hermione's brows creased at his strange question but she knew that there would be some sort of reason for him asking such a question. She braced herself for the sneer.

"Y-yes Sir… I do agree with you. I don't understand why you are asking me that though?"

Snape leaned in close to her, his voice dropping to a mere whisper; " I asked you because when I entered this room all I could hear was the sound of a loud snort coming from this direction. Imagine my surprise when I find the Princess of Gryffindor here and not a prize pig."

"I apologise Sir. I was thinking and reacted to my thought aloud. I did not mean to cause any disturbance." She bowed her head to try and hide the blush on her face.

Severus smirked when he noticed her blush; a woman only blushed that way when she was aroused. He liked when she was flustered like this, it gave her eyes a certain spark that he found to be endearing. He decided to increase her discomfort as he stepped close to her and tipped her chin up with one long finger. Her lips parted in slight shock and it took all of Snape's self control not to kiss her square on the mouth right then and there.

"Miss Granger, you are very red in the face. One would say you were blushing. May I ask what you were thinking about to have caused such a reaction in you? I am sure it is something positively scandalous. I could always perform legillimency to find out exactly what goes on in that pretty little head of yours. "

Hermione almost came in her panties because of the way his voice sounded when he said the word 'scandalous' together with his close proximity and the face he was still touching her face. She swallowed deeply and took a step back from him in an attempt to clear her lust filled haze.

"My thoughts, professor, are private. You may be able to demand I be quiet but you have no right to be privy to my own personal thoughts. I am a skilled Occulmens so any attempt at legillimency will be thwarted. Now if you will excuse me, I have my corridor duties to attend to."

She swept past him on shaky legs hoping to escape without further comments from him but she was not so lucky. She frowned as he grabbed her upper arm before she could leave through the double doors. His lips were almost touching her ear as his silky voice spoke to her in hushed tones, "Might I suggest a change of underwear before attending to your corridor duties, Miss Granger? After all, the scent is quite intoxicating and we would not want any of the young, male inhabitants of the school to try and… become better acquainted with you. You have no idea how positively wanton you are at this very moment, do you Hermione? You could drive a man to drink. Thanks to you I think I will indulge in a small nightcap before heading to bed. Good night."

He released her and stalked out of the door, robes billowing behind him without looking back at her.

Hermione just stood rooted to the spot he left her in.

Did she just imagine that whole exchange or did Severus Snape just openly flirt with her?

She wasn't sure what had just happened but she was sure of one thing; she wanted Severus Snape more than ever and Hermione Granger always got what she wanted eventually. She would just have to figure out a way to get her man.

She smiled to herself as she left the library with a plan beginning to form in her head. This Gryffindor was determined and Severus Snape had better watch his back.
