Love Bites (REPOST)

Chapter 15 ~ Adam's Wish Fulfilled

Hermione entered her quarters and found Severus sitting at the long table, searching through one of the tomes. He looked up at her, a bit of heat in his eyes, obviously considering finishing their little interlude that started in the office.

Before the wizard could act, Hermione quickly told him that Adam appeared to be an expert on all things vampire, and possibly knew how to stop the turning. That news seemed to cool the Professor…for the moment. Hermione let out a little sigh of relief.

"Well, bring him in here then, doctor. We can pick his brain and possibly save days of research," the Professor said, closing the book and looking at her expectantly.

When Hermione didn't move, Severus scowled at her.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"Well, he wants something in exchange for the information. It isn't common medi-knowledge so he isn't required to share it with us," Hermione said hesitatingly.

Severus frowned darkly.

"This better not be something from me," he growled, "I have nothing for that wizard but a good ass-kicking if it is."

Oh oh. This wasn't good.

"Professor, calm down. If you assault Adam you can be sent to Azkaban, sick or not. He doesn't seem the kind of wizard to just get beat up. He will take legal action, I'm sure of it," Hermione replied.

Severus considered this. Yes, maybe he would tell on him. Beating the wizard up would be like assaulting a woman after all. But still…

"What he wants doesn't require you touching him or him touching you, and would only take a minute," Hermione continued. "Only a moment of embarrassment that would save us so much work, Professor."

Severus glowered darkly.

"What does he want?" the wizard said, the look on his face terrible.

Hermione hesitated.

"Well, he wants…he wants you to show him your penis," the witch replied.

"He wants me to what? No!" Severus roared, rising from the desk he was sitting at and stalking towards the door leading to the infirmary. "I'll peel that little fruit!"

Desperately, Hermione flung herself at the Potions Master, catching him around his waist.

"No Professor, you'll get in trouble!" she cried, dragging her feet.

Feeling Hermione's arms wrapped around him, Severus stopped. Catching her arms, he turned around in them, keeping them around his waist and pulling her against his lean body. Hermione came into contact with him and felt as if she couldn't breathe.

"I think you are the one in trouble, Dr. Granger," he breathed as he held the witch's soft body against his, watching her pant from his contact.

"Professor, don't," Hermione pleaded.

Severus arched an eyebrow at her.

"Don't what, Dr. Granger?" he asked her, his dark eyes focused on her lips.

"Don't…well I don't know what you're planning on doing to me, but please…don't," Hermione responded.

Gods his body was so hard. She fought to keep from just moving against him to get more contact. She felt as if he weren't a wizard, but one big delicious magnet that her body wanted to clamp itself to.

"I plan to bring you back to life, Dr. Granger," the dark wizard replied, tightening his hold on her, "much as you plan to do me. Different methods, same results. You've been living a half-life since Potter and Weasley died. I really think you don't want to live that way anymore," he said silkily.

Suddenly the wizard lifted the witch up, wrapping his arms around her waist, and kissed her, closed mouth, capturing Hermione's lips and pulling on them gently, before moving his own sensuously against hers. At first she struggled when he lifted her, but soon she went boneless in his arms, allowing him to possess her lips…then slowly, slowly starting to respond as fire poured through her body, her arms starting to move up of their own volition, seeking his neck.

"Shit," Severus thought as the witch began to kiss him back. He felt himself hardening.

"So! I send you in here as a messenger for me, and this is what I get, Dr. Granger? That is so like a woman!" Adam said accusingly, scowling behind his wire-frame glasses, his hands on his hips as he looked at the kissing couple.

Severus looked at the pissed off wizard blackly, and slowly let Hermione slide down his body, enjoying the feel of her curves rubbing against him as he set the dazed witch on the floor and released her. He pulled out his wand and flicked it at the door to the rooms, closing it and warding it securely. His black eyes turned on Adam, who swallowed.

"So you want to bargain with me for information," he said to Adam, his voice dark. "What's to keep me from beating it out of you?"

The wizard began to advance on the stout wizard, who started backing up.

"Go ahead, beat me up then," Adam said, "I've been beaten within an inch of my life before by straight wizards because of who I am. I still won't tell you anything and I swear I'll report you afterwards…even if I'm on my deathbed."

Adam was talking bravely, but he was cringing against the closed doorway, his eyes tightly closed and his hands held up against the first blow, turned with one knee raised protectively.

Severus looked down on the cringing wizard, and sighed. He couldn't beat him. He was too pathetic. Hermione was just beginning to recover and looked with horror at the wizard standing over the obviously fearful medi-witch.

"Professor, don't hurt him," she said, looking at the wizard pleadingly.

Severus backed up a little, and Adam opened one eye and saw the wizard had given him space. The wizard straightened.

"You're like my dream wizard, Professor. I…I just want to see," Adam said, with a little squeak in his voice.

Severus suddenly looked at him severely. There was something about that squeak.

"Don't I know you?" he asked the wizard, who shifted uncomfortably.

"Yes," Adam admitted, "I used to be in your house. You knew me as Adam Bartlesby."

Severus stared at the wizard.

"You've had work done. Your hair was red, your eyes were green, and your nose was much larger. You had freckles too," the Professor said. "Yes, I remember you now, Adam."

Severus remembered him all right. A short, rounded wizard who was always up in the girl's dorms gossiping and doing makeovers for them. His orientation was obvious from his first year. Over the course of his time at Hogwarts, Adam was caught in several male Slytherins' rooms he didn't belong in. His fellow dorm mates wouldn't fuck the wizard as far as the Professor knew, but they would accept blowjobs from the troubled, affection-starved young man, sometimes several students at one time.

The Potions Master walked back over to the desk and sat down, placing his head in his hands for a moment. Adam had a terrible crush on him during his sixth and seventh year, because Severus had brought him into his office and had a heart to heart talk with him, telling the young wizard that no matter his sexual preferences, he needed to treat himself with respect and not give away to others what they didn't deserve. That sex didn't equate to love and he was only setting himself up to be used and hurt.

The young wizard apparently took his advice to heart. His fellow Slytherins began to beat up on him because he wasn't accommodating anymore, and Adam would promptly report them, no matter how badly he was threatened and beaten. Despite the unfortunate results he suffered from following Severus' advice, the young wizard had been stuck on the Potions Master afterwards, always trying to do things for him, hanging around his office and Potions class until Severus had to cruelly drive him away.

Severus looked up at the silent wizard. He could take a lot of punishment. More than likely Adam would have taken Severus' beating, then reported him just as he said he would.

Severus sat back in the chair. Gay or not, Adam appeared to be Slytherin to the core. Imagine, holding his knowledge hostage in order to blackmail a concession out of the dark wizard. He wouldn't budge on it either.

"You know what you are asking of me is reprehensible, Adam," Severus said, scowling at the wizard.

Adam shrugged.

"Professor, most people think my entire existence is reprehensible," he replied evenly. "I don't often get a chance to have things go my way. It's not that big a deal anyway. It's not like you have to fuck me…although…"

Severus held up his hand and pinched his nose.

"I'd turn into a full fledged vampire rather than come anywhere near you, Adam. I am just not made that way," he said, his eyes flicking toward Hermione, "I appreciate women. Very much."

Adam noted the intensity with which the wizard was looking at the doctor, who seemed very distressed. He nodded.

"Yes, well, there's no accounting for taste Professor," he responded lightly, feeling the quaffle was in his court again. "Now about my request? Will you do it?"

Severus frowned at him.

"What assurance do I have that this information will be worth my baring my goods for your perusal, Adam," the Professor asked him.

"You don't. You're just going to have to trust me," the wizard replied.

Severus stood up quickly.

"If I do this, you little bastard, and the information I receive doesn't help me in some way, I will kick your ass…fuck being arrested. Extortion is a crime too. The prisoners in Azkaban would love you as a cellmate. Three months could seem like three years," the Potions Master said.

"I'll take my chances," Adam replied confidently. "My info is good."

"Very well," Severus said, walking to the center of the study, starting to unbutton his robes.

Shit. All he had to do was show his cock. It wasn't as if the effeminate wizard were going to touch him. He'd done worse things for worse reasons in his time. Particularly when he served the Dark Lord.

As soon as Hermione saw Severus unbuttoning his robes, she started walking quickly toward the room exit. She didn't want to witness this. She wasn't sure she could handle seeing the Potions Master's organ after what just happened. Anyway, her knickers were absolutely soaked. She needed to find some quiet place to scourgify herself.

Severus sharp black eyes fell on the departing witch.

"Hold it! Just where do you think you're going, Dr. Granger?" he called to her.

"Um, you don't need me here for this," Hermione replied, "I'm sure you've got the situation well in hand."

Severus scowled at the unintentional pun, while Adam tittered, his hand to his mouth and eyes twinkling. He'd wanted to see his Head of House's attributes since he was in his sixth year. Who said dreams never came true? He licked his lips as he watched Severus open his robes.

"I want you present," Severus said to the witch, "I want someone to witness that nothing else went on here."

"Why Professor, you sound like you don't trust me," Adam said, giving him a rather sweet, if naughty smile.

"No, Adam, it's not that I don't trust you. I just don't want to kill you without a defense witness present if you come anywhere near my cock," Severus replied evenly as he worked at his trousers.

"Ooh, vicious alpha-male in the castle girls," Adam responded, waving his hand at the Potions Master flirtatiously.

Hermione rolled her eyes toward the ceiling then walked back and stood next to Adam. He didn't know he was playing with something much worse than fire. Severus was likely to go for him jewels a-hanging if the medi-witch pissed him off.

Severus lowered his trousers, then lowered his silk boxers.

Hermione closed her eyes tightly as Adam exclaimed, "Oh my frogs and fucking fairies! I haven't seen a cock that size since last month's issue of 'Buns and Wands!' Catch me doctor, I think I'm going to faint!"

Hermione heard a heavy thud beside her and opened one eye, looking down. Adam was on the floor out cold. She opened both eyes and looked at Severus who was busily fastening his pants.

"It figures, someone finally faints in appreciation, and it's a wizard," he grumbled, tucking his shirt in. He fastened up his robes and looked from Adam on the floor to Hermione.

"He was counting on you to catch him, Dr. Granger," he said, smirking.

"I didn't…I wasn't prepared," she responded, looking down at Adam. He had a smile on his face.

Fully dressed, Severus strode over, bent down, lifted the limp wizard to his feet, dragged him over to the chair in front of the tome, and set him down in it. Adam flopped forward, his head hitting the desk. Hermione winced as Severus grinned evilly.

"Watch it," she said to the wizard, frowning.

"I could watch him do that all day," Severus replied. "However, I've fulfilled my end of the bargain, so therefore…"

Severus whipped out his wand, pointed it between Adam's eyes and said, "Ennervate!"

Adam's eyes began to flutter as he regained consciousness. His blue eyes fell first on Hermione.

"Are you all right, Adam?" Hermione asked, taking out her penlight and shining it into his eyes.

She checked his head for bruises. There was a small mark where his head hit the table but that was it.

"I'm…I'm amazed," he said, looking up at Severus who was looking down at him somberly. "You really should pose for 'Buns and Wands' Professor, you'd become an instant sex god," the wizard said, his eyes shining.

"I'm already a sex god," the wizard responded, his eyes flicking over to Hermione. "Now, Adam…it's your turn. Spill it."

Adam straightened in the chair.

"It would help Professor if I had a pensieve of what happened to you, then I could explain it tailor-made to your situation," the wizard said. "Can you give me one?"

"Yes, I have one with my dreams in it. Dreams I had after being bitten," the Potions Master said.

Hermione left the room to retrieve the pensieve She discreetly scourgified herself along the way.

"Okay, I want you to add the memory of actually getting bitten as well. I want to see the bat," Adam said, then. "You certainly are strapped, Professor."

His blue eyes flicked to Severus' loins.

The Potions Master's eyes narrowed.

"Adam, if you want to keep this uncomfortable relationship between us viable, I highly suggest you keep any further thoughts about my cock to yourself. It will make life easier for both of us," Severus said rather threateningly. "I have ways to get at you that you'll never be able to prove, Adam. Remember, I am a Potions Master."

Adam blanched.

"Yes sir," the wizard responded.

His blue eyes still flicked toward the wizard's pelvis however. Gods, what a tool. Hermione returned with the pensieve. Severus took it, tapped his head with his wand and removed the memory of being attacked, careful to be sure he did not include harvesting the Agstani Flower. He set the pensieve down in front of Adam, who slowly stuck his finger into it, his face going blank.

Several minutes later, Adam pulled his finger out of the bowl and looked up at Severus with a combination of wonder and terror on his face. He adjusted his glasses.

"Vashti? You were bitten by Vashti? Oh my gods, Professor, she's an Original. And she wants you for her King? That is quite an honor," the wizard said.

"An honor I'd like to pass on," Severus replied coldly.

Then, you're in a world of shit," he breathed, his blue eyes wide.

Then Adam turned toward Hermione.

"And you too, doctor" he said to the startled witch.

*****************************
A/N: lolololol. Adam's viewing of Severus' endowment was sort of anti-climatic. And Hermione got her first kiss, disrupted by Adam of course. Seems the gay wizard also is very gifted at cock-blocking as well. Lol. But now they're past the show-and-faint part of the story and can find out their options. Adam seems to know who Vashti is. Adam is actually based on a friend of mine named Jason. He acts just like the wizard. Please review. Thanks.
