I arrived at detention early. Severus was sitting behind his desk marking what looked like essays.

"Good afternoon Hermione. Pull up a chair and sit up here, we have a lot to get planned and prepared for tomorrow." he said.

I pulled up a chair, somewhat confused, but shook it off as I pulled out the plan's that I had sketched out late last night.

"This is what I have so far," I said "I think you should invite Sirius and Remus to the Room of Requirement tonight around nine or a get together. Tell them that Harry, Ginny, Draco and I will be there as well, but Ron won't due to his detention. I'll invite Ginny, Harry and Draco and tell them of our plans for only Sirius and Remus. That way we'll have help getting both Remus and Sirius drunk. Harry told me that when both of them have too much to drink they black out, so it will be perfect for what we intend to do with Remus." I finished.

Severus was grinning by the time I'd finished my little speech. "Okay", he said. "Now all we have to do is figure out what to do about Albus and trap Minerva with Filch. I know for a fact that Albus plans on a speech of some sort tomorrow at dinner, so we'll have an opportunity then. But what to do?"

Silence greeted this statement. I looked around, hoping that I'd find some inspiration. Nothing! No a damn th—"I've got it!" I cried. Making Severus jump.

"What? What is it?" he said.

"Professor Vector once mentioned Professor Dumbledore's fear of hens. So why don't we tell the house elves to place a real hen on Albus' plate for dinner." I said.

"Brilliant. Roast Chicken ala feathers. Haha! You're a genius." he said as he leaned back in his chair, hand running through his ebony locks.

I smiled. "Have you the fake positive pregnancy potion worked out?" I asked.

"Yes, yes. Along with the hemorrhoid salve for Filch?" he said as he waved in the direction of the potions.

"Filch needs a salve? Why didn't you tell me before now? We can get Minerva to deliver it to Filch and lock them in his office and warding it so they can't come out until they lock tongues. Will leave them a note explaining this. Also after half an hour we'll send in a romantic dinner for just the two of them." I said, laughing hysterically and the face Severus pulled when I mentioned Filch and kissing.

"Alright, it's ¼ to 9. Go tell Ginny and the boys and I'll round up Sirius and Remus and meet you in there. If Draco has anymore of that mead his father sent him, tell him to bring it. We could use it." He said as he went to get changed into something more casual. I laughed and scampered off to round up Ginny and the boys.

Twenty minutes later, the boys, Ginny and I were outside the Room of Requirement, each of us carrying either a bottle of wine or fire whiskey, except for Draco who had indeed brought his father's bottle of Oak Matured Mead.

Sirius, Remus, and Severus were already ¾ of the way through a bottle of fire whiskey by the time we ourselves had entered, took our seats and had a glass of whatever our fancy, in hand.

"Well Hermione, Severus here said this was all your idea. Something about a celebration of some sorts. Toasting your success?" hinted Sirius.

I drew a blank, wondering what the hell he was talking about and what Severus had said.

"Come now, Miss. Granger. Surely your not this modest and have bragged to your friends about gaining an apprenticeship with me." said Severus, eyes gleaming with mischief.

I was speechless. Severus was actually offering me an apprenticeship. In all his 16 years of being a potion master, having obtained his masters at the age of 19, he had never taken on an apprentice, even though thousands had applied.

Severus smiled and cocked his head to one side, as if to say, 'well don't just stand there with your mouth hanging open'.

I snapped to and said, "Well were would the surprise be then?" All the while smiling my head off at Severus.

The time passed quickly, Sirius and Remus getting tipsier by the minute.

I was sat in between Severus and Remus. Remus' arm was slung round my shoulders and his hand would occasionally brush my side and breast.

Sirius was next after Severus and Harry was after Sirius. Ginny was in Draco's lap and he was sitting next to Remus.

Every time Remus' hand strayed, Severus would shift and bite his lip to prevent him from saying or acting on his impulses. But this was the plan. And we had to stick to it.

It was nearing half 12 when Harry, Ginny and Draco decided to call it night. They said their goodbyes and headed to bed. Harry wishing me luck as they left.

By now Sirius and Remus were both heavily intoxicated. "Severus, you take Sirius to his quarters and I'll help Remus okay?" I said as I pulled Remus up, only to fall back down into his lap as he pulled back.

"Come on, Remus. Let's get you to be bed." I said as Severus pulled one arm and I pulled the other. We got him up and I slung his arm around my shoulders and proceeded to half walk, half carry, Remus out.

"Meet you in twenty, when I give Sirius the prolonged intoxication potion." whispered Severus in my ear as we headed off in to our separate destinations.

I lumbered along with Remus, stopping every now and then to remove Remus' hand from my breast or the top of my jeans. We reached his chambers before long. I pulled him towards the bedroom. I sat him down on his bed and was getting ready to kneel down to take of his shoes on socks, when his strong arms pulled me into his lap and started too ravage my mouth.

He was domineering yet gentle. His hands roamed my back under my shirt. I moaned and gasped as he nibbled and sucked my bottom lip, undoing the clasp on my bra. I kissed back with more force and ground my crotch against his.

He stilled and promptly passed out. Snoring softly as his head hit the duvet.

I giggled and continued undressing him. When he was naked I slipped him under the sheets and redid my bra clasp.

I threw around some of his clothes to make it look like a fit of passion and waited for Severus.

Five minutes later, Severus was there with some of my clothes to use as evidence. Severus taking great pleasure in ripping my panties, bra and shirt in pieces. I smiled and shook my head and continued to throw my clothes around the sitting room and Remus' bedroom.

After completing that, we headed into Remus' bedroom and set up wards to prolong his sleep, until we wanted him to wake up with me in bed with him.

"Severus, I'm not going to be completely naked. I'm having a sheet on at all times, okay? I will not do it otherwise." I said.

He sweeps me into his arms and kisses my forehead, and said "I won't have it any other way."

I smile and finish the warding. "Severus are you serious about the apprenticeship?" I asked, feeling somewhat foolish to even hope for such an impossible thing.

"Of course. If you want to that is." he said as we exited Remus' chambers.

"Yes. I'd love that." I said as I threw myself into his arms.

He laughed and hugged me tightly to him.

"I'll meet you here at half six tomorrow morning. Goodnight." and with that I skipped off to my rooms, leaving a smiling Severus in my wake.
