A/N: SPOV
Severus found himself distracted as his eyes swept over Nymphadora and what he would be willing to do to her if he could tie her down to this table. His wand would be slowly severing off her shirt as his lips ran their way down her exposed flesh, and he'd expertly apply a stinging hex to arouse her... perhaps make her beg for him to slide his tongue inside her possessively...
Sev, quit thinking like a randy teen. He chastised himself. Though it would be a bit amusing if Remus were to walk in on that... I'll have to think of a well-polished insult if that should ever happen.
"...Once I have that list I will assign one or two of the areas to each auror, so that they may become familiar with the location and be able to notice any changes if, when, and as soon as they take place." Nymphadora had been reporting the state of the school. Maybe she would make sure that she has to patrol areas near the dungeons.
As his eyes made contact with hers, it was only for the smallest fraction of a second. But he was sure that it had conveyed more than he ever meant to. He bit his bottom lip slightly, flicking his eyes away from hers as if nothing had happened.
Was something happening? He wondered, realizing that the meeting was now being dismissed by Albus. After the meetings, members were known to stay for a bit and chat each other up since they couldn't be seen interacting too much in the outside world.
Severus took to the kitchen to pour himself a brandy, where Molly found him and asked her usual question.
"How are my kids, Severus?" She asked, lines of worry evident on her face.
"Ginevra is surpassing her classmates, possibly thanks to her having to face off against your twins. As for Ronald... he has been taken with some lass and Miss Granger doesn't seem to approve, judging by the content of his last essay. He's depended on her revising for far too long to give up now."
Molly nodded her concern. "Ginny did tell me that she was getting tired of hearing screeches of 'lav-lav' and 'won-won' in their common room..."
"I can sneak a bit of a potion into his breakfast to make him think with his brain rather than his libido, if you wish..." Severus smirked slightly, knowing that Molly understood his dry sarcastic wit.
Molly shook her head. "Arthur could have used some of that in our seventh year... Thank you, Severus."
He nodded, leaving the kitchen and heading to the library. It was a narrow hallway, and the hushed whispers between Lupin and Nymphadora were obvious to the Potions' Master.
He cleared his throat just enough for them to silence themselves, and Severus approached the pair.
"Pardon me, Nyphadora, I was just on my way to the library for a bit of reading." He turned towards Remus, nodding politely. "Lupin." As he walked past them, he took a deep breath, savoring her scent.
As he got into the library, he closed the door a bit louder than he needed to, ensuring that they had their privacy. After his ghost of a kiss earlier with her, all he had wanted to do was to slam her up against a wall and claim her as his own.
