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!
Lucius eyed his oldest friend over his Fire Whiskey his eyebrows raised in amusement.
"Severus, you are positively maudlin. What, may I ask has gotten you in such a state?"
Severus merely scowled at his friend, raising a lazy eyebrow while inwardly hoping that Lucius had not rumbled him. Lucius was the type of person that if he knew of Severus's attraction to Hermione, he would more than likely try to interfere and bring the two together himself, thus making the couple forever in his debt, Slytherin that he was.
"Fuck off Lucy. I am in no mood for your teasing. I have simply had a trying day at the school and wished to have a quiet drink with one of my oldest friends. Please… do not trifle with me today. You would not enjoy the consequences. Where is my usual doze of shite conversation from you? Do not attempt to therapize me." Severus sneered, downing his own Fire Whiskey and helping himself to another with a grunt.
Lucius sat forward, eying his friend intently as though looking for the answer written on his face.
"Severus I have seen you after a "trying day" at the school and I have never seen you look so… detached… forlorn even. One would almost say you look love sick. You look similar to when you were fawning over the Evans girl when we were students. "
Severus choked on his drink when Lucius said this causing his friend to smirk with raised eyebrows.
"So it is a woman then! Ha! My powers of deduction never cease to amaze me. I say Severus, you were lucky you were my friend in our Deatheater days or I would have rumbled you as a spy to Voldemort in the first war."
"Oh do fuck off. Your powers of deduction are pish compared to most… you are just lucky you caught me on a bad day. I wasn't a spy for over 20 years for nout." Severus hissed, downing his drink and then snatching Lucius's glass and tanking that as well. "And you know I despise you speaking of our Deatheater days so casually in conversations, please desist. It is not something I enjoy remembering."
"Alright sourpuss I will try my best not to bring up the old days when you were a semi-interesting character. So moving on… you admit it then? There is a woman? Tell me about her, perhaps I can help you capture her heart or lower her knickers, whatever is more desirable to you?"
The dark haired wizard merely snorted and shook his head, "No thank you. I have already begun to execute a plan to ensnare the affections of the woman who has already ensnared mine and it seems to be working quite well thus far. Before you ask, I will not divulge her identity to you because I do not want you to interfere with my plans. Needless to say that if I am successful in my endeavour you will find out who she is soon enough, understood? No meddling Lucius or you will experience my wrath."
Lucius sniggered and sat back in his chair with both hands up in surrender, "Alright old man, I will not pry any further but know that I am here for advice if you need a hand with anything. Who knew… you and Minnie McGonagall eh?"
"Nope and I am not going to bite. Nice try though. You can try any tactics you like but I will not let it slip who my mystery woman is. I will tell you when the time is right." Severus chuckled.
"Oh well, it was worth a try. I can understand why you wouldn't want your romance and sordid sexual attraction to… Pomona Sprout?" Lucius raised his eyebrows in question again with a comical glint in his eye.
Severus bellowed a laugh and slapped his hand down on his muscular thigh, "Seriously Lucius, fuck off."
"And what of your lifelong commitment to Lily Evans? Does she no longer hold your heart?"
Severus's face became serious at his friend's question, "I admit I was in love, or at least thought I was in love with Lily but she does not 'hold my heart' as you so put it. To be frank, my feelings for this other woman have shown me that what I felt for Lily was nothing but obsession and a need for support and familiarity. No, Lily will always be dear to me but she is not the woman who I believe I am destined to be with. Now please, can we change the subject before this conversation becomes any more feminine; talking of bloody love and hearts indeed."
Lucius finally let the subject drop with a chuckle and steered their conversation onto more masculine subject. He left for home a short while after to allow Severus some peace and quiet as it was clear his friend was quite distracted with thoughts of his female interest.
Severus used his solitude to work on the next stage of his seduction of Hermione. He knew that she would have at least an inclination that he found her attractive after his wicked words to her in the library. Or she might think he was being a perverse Slytherin bastard who wanted to confuse the shit out of her. Either way, there had been a noticeable shift in their relationship because the way she blushed and the desire in her eyes when he spoke to her did not go unnoticed by him; he was almost certain that Hermione Granger wanted him just as much as he wanted her.
Time to crack out 'Charming Snape' I think. Little Miss Know-It-All won't know what hit her. On to phase two of my master plan!
With a grin that the Cheshire Cat would be proud of he began writing down the finer points of his 'master plan', confident that it would only be a matter of weeks before he would have the woman of his dreams writhing under him in pleasure.
A/N: Hi guys, your reviews have been so wonderful so far - I really appreciate them. Keep them coming!
