Black Seduction

I guess through all the years I’ve been to Hogwarts I was used to the fact Professor Snape hated me. During all these years I didn’t pass one period of Potions without him calling me “Silly girl”. Although he acted like this I still found him to be one of the most brilliant wizards I knew. There wasn’t any kind of potion he didn’t know.

During the first evening of our final year, Professor Dumbledore announced that I would be Gryffindor Head girl for the second and last year. When everyone came up to me to congratulate me (again), I noticed Professor Snape was sitting at the head table being his charming self as usual. Only this time when we locked eyes, I had this strange feeling going through my body. Snape on the other hand, raised an eyebrow gave me a quick nod and continued his conversation with Professor Lupin.

At this moment I knew this year would be different than all the others.

After the sorting ceremony and a wonderful dinner, everybody went to their common room. Being Head Girl had its advantages. I didn’t have to spend my year in the student tower. I had my own quarters. Nothing much, but it was better than spending your time with all the other students. In all these years I had discovered I was a loner, and I felt much better when I had my little bit of privacy.

I was almost at the entrance of my quarters that were not so far from the dungeons when I heard a familiar voice approaching.

Snape said goodbye to Professor Dumbledore and was on his way to the dungeons, where he had his quarters. When he came closer I could smell him... ‘Darn’ I thought, the man was getting to me.

“Good evening Miss Granger.” I felt almost like exploding inside when he passed me and I could hear that voice. “Good evening Professor Snape…” I tried to sound as normal as I could.
He was half way down the hall when I noticed I was still staring at him. He must have felt it, because suddenly he turned around and said “Was there something you needed Miss Granger?”
“Euh.. euh, no professor, not at all... good evening...” I said, while nervously opening the door of my room. Snape turned around and I heard him mumble something like ‘Silly Girl’ and he walked away.

I still couldn’t believe it when I entered my room. What the hell was happening to me? I’d never acted this way around a teacher and least of all, around Snape. I decided not to worry much and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Snape went to his office in a very bad mood. Not only was it the beginning of a new school year, he had his first lessons to give in Advanced Potions tomorrow morning. When he and the headmaster left the Great Hall, Dumbledore reminded him his first lesson would be to Slytherin and Gryffindor. ‘Just great, my first lesson to Potter and miss- know- it-all’ he thought, while wishing Dumbledore a pleasant evening. In his rush he almost bumped into Hermione Granger. Then, politeness ordered him to wish her a good evening. He had noticed her gaze during dinner. Although he just thought of her as ‘that silly girl’, deep inside he knew she had changed. His coincidental encounter with the girl proved him right. She had turned into a remarkable young woman. He entered his room thinking of the fact that she had watched him leave. It was the first time he felt something else instead of being angry with her. He poured out a glass of whisky and took place in his chair next to his desk.
‘Let’s see if you are still that silly little girl, Miss Granger’ he said to himself and an evil smile appeared on his face.
