The Seduction of Snape.
Four
Hermione stared at him in shock. "Why Professor," she exclaimed. "I never would have pictured you as someone interested in surfing the Internet."
Well if I have to deal with it taking up half of the library," he grumbled, "I might as well learn to use it, along with that thing." he poked a finger at the 52 inch flat screen.
"Well. Okay." Hermione said, standing up. "Sit here." indicating the chair she had just vacated. She reached down, moving the mouse she shut the system down. When it was off completely. She took a deep breath.
"Okay. Here is the button to turn it on." She said pressing it gently. They waited and watched as the system booted up.
"Okay, take the mouse." she told him. She watched as he placed his large hand over the mouse. "And move the arrow over to that icon." She pointed to the icon needed. She watched as he moved the mouse and the arrow slide across the screen, completely missing it's mark. Taking a deep breath she moved to his right side, leaning over him she placed her right hand so that it hovered just over his. "May I?" she asked, her voice shaking a little.
"You may." he said softly, acutely aware of her breasts pressing into his arm as she leaned over him.
Placing her hand lightly on top of his, she moved his hand and the mouse with hers. "It takes a little while to get the feel of the mouse at first." She explained. "Really you just need to play with it." she made slow circles on the screen before settling on the icon. "Now double click with your index finger." she instructed.
"Do I make you nervous, Ms. Granger?" Snape asked suddenly.
Hermione took her hand from his and stood up. "Yes. You do. Very much so. Now 10 points from Slytherin for asking stupid questions and interrupting the lesson."
"10 points." he growled softly.
"Yes. 10 points. Now do you want to continue with this or not?" she asked, sounding exasperated.
Glaring at her he nodded quickly. After practicing with the mouse, Snape was quickly able to hit the mark. She showed him the various right click, left click features and how to use a search engine.
Hermione felt lucky that he was such a quick learner. After standing so close to him and touching his hand, she was feeling lightheaded and flustered. His scent overwhelmed her and the feel of his strong shoulder and arm where driving her mad. Her heart was pounding so loud she was sure he could hear it. "Well I think you have it." She said. "I'll just leave you to it then."
Snape watched as she hurried out the door. He sighed. He had been intensely aware of her discomfort while she was touching him. The way her hands shook and how nervous she had become. 'Was he so horrible that she couldn't even bear to touch him?' he wondered. Of course he was, he concluded. Ugly and horrible. Sighing again, he quietly shut down the computer.
