Im back with yet another exciting chapter. i would really appreciate some reviews as to know how you like it.

Severus's point of View

Severus got out of his chair, a little buzzed, but relaxed at the very least. He would never do the night watch completely drunk where he couldn't walk a straight line and as he wasn't to that point, he enjoyed the slight high feeling and pranced his way up to Albus's office to check in. Merlin only knows if he was late, he would never hear the end of his self righteous speech of how he risked his neck for him, blah, blah, blah. It gets old after a while, especially when you have to look at the face of the man who couldn't save Lilly...

As he opened the door to the headmaster's office, he was pleasantly surprised to see his old friend and fellow rival Minerva. He smirked slightly as he admired her tight attire that left everything to the imagination. She was covered from neck to toes in emerald robes. He reminisced about how many times they have sought each other's comfort if not just for a moment and returned to hating each other. "I thought Filius was to do the watch with me this evening." Severus pointed out in a rather cocky tone, noticing the slight twinkle in his boss's eyes.

"He has asked for Minerva to take over, who has kindly accepted." Albus said in his raspy, but delicate voice of his. The only thing that Severus has ever admired about the man was that he was wise and knew his needs and without having to voice them. Minerva nodded and they departed to walk the castle.

They walked in silence for a time, having covered the castle once already, Minerva started to take matters into her own hands. "I heard you had a rough day... finding that woman, especially after having to attend one of those terrible meetings..." Severus stopped short, his memories coming back to him... The way he was threatened, Voldemort was going to torture him if he didn't provide new information about harry... The one that he wanted to protect from the very beginning and who now resides with his first year at Hogwarts and would start his second day in the morning.

"Not any more troublesome than I can handle." Severus drawled. He was annoyed that she couldn't stay out of his business, but he knew deep down why Albus had asked her to come in Filius's stead. Just as the thought crossed his mind, Minerva spoke the unspoken.

"I'm here if you need me to... vent." Severus knew what that meant as they have done this on a few occasions. one would use the other until they could relieve themselves of some of the tension that comes with the line of work that they do. no strings attached. Minerva couldn't produce children if she wanted to, and frankly, she didn't have much cock waiting in her bed anyways.

Severus looked around and saw the hallway was empty. He pushed her gently into an empty classroom and left the door cracked as he enjoyed the thought of getting caught, although Minerva always liked the door shut. Severus on this occasion needed the danger. He felt himself getting hard, but was still too soft to fuck her. Taking her by the perfect bun, he pushed her on her knees as he whipped out his cock. It was as if she knew what to do, because she took him and began to bob on his partially erect cock. He hissed in pleasure watching the uptight witch kneel on the cold, stone floor.

He shoved her to take him deeper as his cock began to grow to a size she no longer could put whole in her mouth, so she grabbed the bottom of his sheath and pumped in the opposite direction she was bobbing and continued this pattern. Severus could feel he was hard enough that he hurt and needed her now. Pulling her off his cock, he spun her around, picked her up, and bent her over her desk. He pulled up her skirt to find no panties as she had planned for this, and a very slick pussy, dripping down her legs with juices. He pounded into her balls deep and began to ram her hard enough that if she wasn't ready it would have caused her great pain.

Minerva liked it rough when Severus got this way though, and her moans and begging to slam her harder and deeper didn't go without reward. Severus grabbed her by the hair and used it as leverage to go deeper and at a faster pace, mixing pain and pleasure as Minerva reached an orgasm. Severus in turn slapped her ass hard enough to leave a slight red mark.

"I didn't tell you that you could cum slut." Minerva who liked to be talked down to during these encounters where Severus was this dominant proceeded to cum harder over his cock. Severus pulled out and pulling her by the bun, slammed her back against the wall and shoved himself back into her, picking her up so she had to wrap her legs around him as he slammed himself into her against the cold stone. He could see the pleasure in Minerva's eyes as he slammed into her mercilessly as she orgasmed, wriggling begging for it to give her a break, but he knew she liked that.

He could feel himself ready for release so he pulled out of her and pushed her down again. "Swallow slut." Was all he had to say as she took his enormously huge, bulging cock into her mouth and began to deep throat him, swallowing around his cock in an attempt to make him cum as he pushed her harder against his dick as his fisted her hair. He suddenly tensed up and slammed into her harder as she choked and swallowed his cum. Severus straightened up his hair as he rammed the last of his erection into her swallowing throat.

Finished, he pulled up his pants and left the room, just as they would on any other occasion. why dwaddle when it means nothing? Minerva knows that he is just getting lilly out of his system, so why bother? That was the beauty of their relationship, quick relief and then it never happened.

The next morning, Severus woke from his bed and made his way to the hospital wing before breakfast. He was hungry, yes, but alas, he felt compelled to check on the woman. He felt almost as if she was a fragile antique that must be cherished and protected. He didn't understand fully why, but he did know that he felt he must do just that. The door opened and he found her asleep yet with her long hair strewn across the pillow. She was lying on her side with her hand by her face. The woman looked so peaceful that Severus couldn't help not wanting to disturb her. Color was returning to her face again, but she was still very pale which seemed most likely to be her skin tone.

He lingered a moment longer to take in her frail figure before turning to leave. "Going so soon Severus?" He heard the voice from behind him. Turning to see Poppy there he smiled slightly.

"She needs her rest." He stated simply before making his way out the door and down to breakfast.

Sitting there, he noticed Harry Potter looking up at him holding his forehead. Does he have a headache? No, it has to be that scar the dark lord left behind... But if that is the case, i wouldn't set it off, it would be him. The dark lord has been missing for years, why would he show up now? He thought to himself. Unless... He looked to his left to see Quirrell sitting beside him So, is the dark lord hiding in his turban? Snape wondered for a moment before shrugging it off. Clearly the boy had a headache.

The school barely trusted him as it was, let alone if he were to go around making false accusations. Before he were to even think such things, he would have to find evidence to prove his point. Evidence that couldn't easily be pushed aside. He would protect the boy to the best of his ability, but falsely accusing a fellow professor wouldn't be a good way to do this, let alone to keep his job. Besides, Quirrell has been there for years, far longer than he has.

After Breakfast, Severus walked up the stairs to the hospital wing yet again. He had a good twenty minutes before his class started, and he thought it would be best to visit and see how she has been. Progress would be the best news, then when she leaves perhaps he can properly concentrate. His feeling of obligation would cease and he could feel some form of relief.

Severus walked through the doors and seen her sitting and brushing her long locks on the bed. Her emerald eyes looked up at him for a moment before quickly darting back down to the floor. He wasn't quite sure why, but she seemed a bit shy or ashamed. Poppy walked into the room with a glass of water which the woman drank before the medwitch turned back to Severus.

"She's aloud to leave, but Albus has offered her a position." Instead of that relief he was hoping for, he felt an immediate swell of pride. He had saved her and she would have a job and a roof over her head now. The question in the back of his mind still lay unanswered. Why was she in the forest in the first place, and why was the arrow in her to begin with? He knew he couldn't outright ask her, but he would find out one way or another, and he did have his ways if years of loyalty to the dark lord and Albus had taught him anything.

"Good. Any name yet?"

"Anastasia." The name rang a bell, but he couldn't put a finger to it yet. Something intrigued him.

"Anastasia." He let the name roll off his tongue. "Beautiful name my dear. I'm glad you are doing better and hope you decide what is best for you with this position. There is protection at Hogwarts." Severus stated as she looked up at his eyes again and nodded. She was clearly hiding something, but what it was didn't seem malicious. "If you would excuse me ladies, i have classes to teach." Severus nodded at both ladies and made his way out of the room with a swish of his black robes.
