Chapter 15 ~ Taking Back the Power
Hermione spent part of the day wandering the halls of Hogwarts, taking in the changes the castle was making during its renovations. There were new halls and rooms scattered about the school, and she explored them, knowing that probably tomorrow half of the new areas would be gone. After she had walked about as much as she could, she retired to the library, sitting in a cushy armchair and keeping her mind as blank as possible. It didn't last long. She had to consider her situation.
She didn't want to see the Potions Master right now. If her degree didn't count on completing this apprenticeship, she would have left Hogwarts, but she was determined to get her Masters. She hadn't counted on fucking the Professor the day after she arrived. She hadn't counted on fucking him at all. But, she couldn't help herself. Now he was under her skin…in her blood. The bad part about that was that she was sure he knew it. He had practically said he'd fuck her again if the opportunity arose. There was still the testing of the potion to be done. She felt a pulse of heat just thinking about it. Shit.
Hermione shifted in the chair, almost feeling the Professor's hands sliding over her body. Gods.
Was she such a wanton witch that she could become hooked on a wizard simply because of how good his sex was? She hadn't thought she was that type of witch. She had sex numerous times before, but had never felt this kind of continued attraction. She would be sated for a while, and not engage in it again until her body craved it. Which wasn't that often. She had indulged Xavier often because he would beg her, but soon tired of it, and him. The same with Derrick, though they had only engaged in it twice. And as she had told the Professor, it had been nice, pleasant. But nothing like it had been with him. Not even close.
Hermione considered this. Her continued desire for the Professor might have something to do with him being the object of her fantasies for so long. Also, she knew the Professor didn't indulge himself in sex very often. He had stated he was choosy. So there had to be something about her he found appealing other than her pussy. No, it was reciprocal lust. He had seen her fantasies about him when she was in her seventh year. They probably were in the back of his mind for the entire time she was at university, and came to the fore when she returned as a full-grown woman, and he divined her continued attraction. That combined with his experimentation with the enhancement potion led him to act on his desire to experience her.
What a mess this was.
The problem was, Hermione had to work with Severus in order to have him sign off on her apprenticeship. She couldn't complete her degree without his help. Even after they successfully completed the potion, he might use her dependence on him to continue a sexual relationship until her apprenticeship was up.
Would that be so bad really? Maybe by the end of summer she would have him out of her system, all of her fantasies about him fulfilled, then she could move on, hopefully not ruined for the next wizard. She had a feeling that he could ruin her, however. He knew what to do to her, and how to do her. Her fantasies had instructed the dark wizard well, and coupled with his natural talents, not to mention his huge cock…she was practically helpless to fight him.
Hermione didn't like this feeling, knowing that her attraction for the wizard rendered her powerless. She couldn't give him the power. She had to fight this. When the potion was completed, she would help him test it, have sex with him one more time. If Severus tried to hold her need for him to sign off on her degree as leverage to force her into intercourse, she would report him to the Headmaster, opening up her mind so the could see for himself what transpired between her and the Potions Master.
Yes. That's what she would do. And she planned to let Severus know it, too.
*********************************
The Potions Master studied the nifflers carefully as well as Hermione's notes. She had made some substitutions to the formula and improved it greatly. Judging by the nifflers, he believed the witch had completed it successfully. But it needed to be tested on human subjects. Hermione had agreed to help him test the perfected potion, but the problem was, he had no dysfunction when it came to the witch. How could he test it with her when all he had to do was remember his last encounter with her to become rock hard?
The Professor closed the book of notes and rubbed his eyes. He would have to come up with something. Suddenly, the door to the lab opened and Hermione entered. She was still dressed in her jeans, her midriff showing. His black eyes swept over her.
"Done with hiding from me, Miss Granger?" he asked her.
"I wasn't hiding, Professor. I needed time away from you to think," she responded.
He arched an eyebrow at her.
"Do you mean to tell me, Miss Granger, I affect you so much you cannot think in my presence?" he asked her, smirking slightly as he remembered how he had taken her ability to think away from her on two occasions so far.
"Don't flatter yourself, Professor, it isn't like that at all. I am here to set the ground rules for my apprenticeship to you. First, I believe I need to nip our sexual relationship in the bud right now. You are a distraction, and I can't afford a distraction of this type in my life right now. I have to stay focused. After we test the potion, we will return to a more typical Master/Apprentice relationship. If you try to manipulate me into having sex with you afterwards, I will report you to the Headmaster," she said, meeting his black eyes evenly.
Severus considered her a moment.
"And what do you consider 'manipulation?'" he asked her.
"Using my need for you to sign off on my apprenticeship to keep me in your bed," she replied.
Hm. That surely would have been an excellent way to keep her under him. But he knew he didn't need to do that.
"I promise you, Miss Granger, when you complete your time with me, I will sign off on your apprenticeship. Your assistance with the potion alone assures my compliance," he said amicably. "However, judging by your reaction to me…are you sure you wouldn't want to continue? I haven't even begun to show you the kind of pleasure I can bring you."
The bastard. He was already trying to seduce her with promises of even more satisfying sex. Hermione steeled herself against him.
"I'm positive," she said shortly.
"I see," the Potions Master replied, just as shortly, his nostrils flaring slightly. Well, there was more than one way to bed a Gryffindor.
"I believe the potion is ready for testing," he said to her, "but our problem is I am most attracted to you, Hermione. I have no problem getting aroused even at the thought of fucking you."
She noticed he had switched to her given name. Probably because of their upcoming intimacy. But he was right. He didn't have a dysfunction. Not by a long shot. She considered this.
"When you were a servant of Voldemort, didn't you use a potion to keep from participating in the Revels?" she asked him.
"Yes. A very powerful impotence potion so I could not be aroused. Voldemort often tested me randomly with female deatheaters to see if I were lying. I drank it whenever I was summoned," he replied.
"Do you have any?" she asked him.
"No, but I can brew it in about a day," he replied thoughtfully.
Yes. That potion was quite powerful. If the male enhancement potion could overcome it, then it would be ready to market.
"Well, if I were you, Professor, I'd start it now. That way we can test the potion tomorrow evening and get it out of the way," Hermione said, fighting the heat forming in her belly.
The Professor looked at her. Tomorrow evening eh? He intended to test it thoroughly. He rose from the stool he was sitting on and walked toward the witch. She moved back slightly at his approach.
"I will do that, Miss Granger," he said silkily, liking her reaction to his proximity.
Severus turned with a billow of robes and headed for his potions store. Hermione sighed when he left the lab. That had gone better than expected. He seemed accepting of her terms. She was relieved to know that he intended to sign off on her apprenticeship. The Potions Master was a wizard of his word, so her degree was assured. The witch turned and headed for her rooms. Just once more, one more encounter with Severus and that would be it. She'd be free of him.
******************************
Severus returned to his lab, his arms full of ingredients and immediately saw Hermione was gone. Ah well. He didn't expect her to stay, especially since she seemed determined to rebuild the walls of propriety between them. He smirked as he set the ingredients on the counter. She could try, but he still had one more pending encounter with her. If she intended it to be their last, he would pull out all the stops. If she thought that last morning with him had been mind-blowing, wait until she experienced him tomorrow. Then, after that…the games would begin.
The Professor began to measure out the ingredients carefully.
He had a potion to test.
*****************************
A/N: Good try at reasserting yourself, Hermione, though it may have been better to inform the Potions Master of your plans AFTER you tested the potion with him. Now he's on a mission. Lucky witch. Lol. Please review.
