The Oath

Severus opened the door and froze on the threshold thinking he really should have knocked. But knocking would imply he had no right to be here. And it was well after curfew, so it was unlikely any of the brats would be about.

A voice from within the steam filled room rang out, "Either come in or go out, but close the door." causing Severus to start and the door to slam shut nearly hitting him in the bum.

Snarling softly, Severus drew his wand as he took a step forward and banished most of the fog. What he saw caused him to freeze again.

In the middle of the waist deep pool, two seventh year students were embracing, one was a Prefect, the other, was not.

Surprised by the lack of bubbles, Severus could not resist stepping just a bit closer to look at the naked students though the crystal clear water. The girl smiled as she slowly leaned back so that she was partially floating, supported by her legs that were wrapped around the young man's waist. He groaned softly, and hands on the girl's hips pulled her tight against him making her gasp and arch her back a bit more.

She hadn't taken her eyes off of the man standing watching them. And he, needless to say, had not looked away from the pair. "See something you like, Professor?" she asked softly.

Severus shivered in the heat of the room as he watched the young man's hand moved up the girl's side to gently cup one firm breast. "How could he not Hermione? You're beautiful." he said.

She chuckled, "He's staring at you, Harry."

"Really?" Harry said a note of disbelief in his voice as he smiled and squinted up at Severus. He then lifted the female third of the Golden Trio and set her on her feet.

She made a little moue and Severus suddenly realized that the turgid member he could now see between the young man's thighs had just been inside the girl. He almost moaned at the thought.

As Harry emerged from the pool Severus backed away until he was leaning against the door. Hair slicked back by the water and eyes not concealed by the hideous glasses he usually wore, Severus was entranced by the boy's beauty.

Just before Harry was able to touch him, Severus shook himself and snarled, "Potter, stop." He took a couple of deep breaths and growled, "Nothing inappropriate will happen between me and any student in my charge. This I so swore to the Headmaster."

He suddenly turned, wrenched the door open and ran.

As the door swung shut Hermione wrapped her arms around the distraught young man whispering, "Don't worry Harry. We won't be students much longer."
