A/N: TPOV
Tonks sat up on her heels, rubbing her left hand on her pants and massaging her knees. Out of the corner of her eyes she watched as Severus approached his desk and took out parchment. Her eyebrows rose as he described the list and walked it over to her, his boots clipping sharply on the stone floor. Her eyes traveled up his looming form as he approached. He bent over slightly, placing his fingers under her chin, her honey brown eyes focusing on his dark, intense gaze.
"… As for a Top/bottom dynamic, you will find me a bit too exacting and...possessive." She shivered, whether from his touch, his words, or that look, she wasn't quite sure. "The first lesson you will learn is how to properly kneel for your Dominant…"
Tonks' eyes again snapped up to his. My Dominant. She mused before forcing herself to focus on what he was saying. She tried to force her face to appear serious, for all that she was used to changing her features, keeping the excited if not a bit triumphant smile off her face was proving a challenge on its own. He gently took the book she still had protectively clutched in her right hand and set it aside along with the papers as he ordered her to kneel properly. She moved her knees to be a bit wider and straightened her back, trying to look confident despite the awkwardness she felt. She moved her arms behind her back, noting how the movement arched her back slightly and forced her chest out. She bowed her head, a smirk playing at her lips even as a light blush accented her cheeks. She couldn't remember a time when she felt so self-conscious, yet so sexy.
"Good girl."
Tonks couldn't deny the warmth that spread through her at the praise, a broad smile brightening her face. As he mentioned homework her smile faltered, glancing over her shoulder at him for a hint of what he would have her do.
"You may borrow my book, but camouflage the cover in case others come across you reading it. And please fill out the worksheet as well. If you have any questions concerning this list, you may owl me."
She nodded. Her gaze shifted down to the book and paper, her smile returning as she realized she did in fact get more time with the book. Trying to crane her neck in a way that she hoped wouldn't be noticeable, she attempted to make out items that were on the list.
"That will be all for tonight, Nymphadora. You may stand and pick up the book and parchment. That should allow you to look at them properly."
Her head snapped forward, her fists clenching at being caught. She smiled sheepishly and reached for the stack of parchment and the book, again hugging them close as she pulled herself to her feet. Turning to face Severus, she noticed the time, for all that had occurred since the beginning of the night she was shocked to see how much time had passed; the auror for the day patrol would be showing up shortly expecting her for turnover.
"Ah…thank you…" She held up book, waving it slightly. "…I should be…ah…going…I would say goodnight, but its morning…" She smiled broadly to keep herself from continuing to babbling. Severus arched an eyebrow questioningly at her. "Right…" She pointed over her shoulder at the door to the hall, "I'll send an owl should I have any questions," she tapped the list before turning on her heal and heading for the door.
Reaching the door she glanced back, Severus had already returned to his desk once again shuffling the papers she assumed still needed to be graded. She quickly ducked out the door, casting an illusionment charm on the list and book. Berating herself for her less than eloquent exit she made her way to the edge of the forest to meet her duty replacement. Botched exit or not, she couldn't deny her elevated mood and pink hair, neither of which had existed when she had first arrived. She longed to get back to her room as fast as possible to start her homework.
