His eyes slightly widened when her hand came up to meet his. For a moment, fear flickered on his face. He could be a spy, betraying the most powerful wizard in the world – or the second most powerful, depending on if one things Voldemort was stronger than Dumbledore or vice versa – lying straight to a proficient legilimens, betraying the people he had joined before, and yet here he was looking at a young woman, scared about a possible relationship. Of course, the look had quickly disappeared, but it was there for a moment.
[break][break]
“Alright.”
[break][break]
It was a simple, single world, but he knew it would change so much – it would change everything – he would have a reason to live, to have a purpose more than protecting Lily Potter, a girl who he loved and yet was also married to a man he hated. That whole situation had brought such pain into his life – knowing he could never have her, knowing that she could never feel the same back.
[break][break]
And yet, as he stood in front of Rose, he could feel the attraction, the happy feelings he had experienced when he was still friends with Lily, the need to be with her, to need to see her smile a powerful motivator.
[break][break]
“However,” He looked at her seriously, dropping his hand from her cheek, immediately missing her warmth. “I cannot guarantee that after this begins, you will still feel the same – if you start to believe otherwise, you tell me. I will understand.”

Her eyes lit up at the utterance of that single word. That single word meant so many things, and it was enough, for here, at this moment.
His hand dropped and her heart dropped with it, only just slightly. She smiled at him. "Silly, I am not as wishy-washy as that, Sev. But, if that sort of thing does happen, which I severely doubt that it will.
I will let you know."
She turned her head to look up at him, a small smirk playing on her lips. Giggling, she spoke, "so shall we get back to work? Or have a distracted the great and terrible potions master too much with my feminine wiles?"
She giggled again.

Of course, if she was talking about being with anyone other than him, he would believe her right off – he wouldn’t doubt that she wouldn’t be wishy-washy. However, he was not an easy person to get along with – he was sure he would offend her in some way, she would get angry and then he would never see her again. Yet, he still felt like he had to say yes – a glimmer of hope in the raging storm that was his life. The hope of being happy, even if just for a moment.
[break][break]
Clearing his throat, he looked over at the ingredients she had sorted and figured out. With a flick of his wand, the porcupine spines flew out and the three non-ingredients were placed back in his cabinet near the end of the room. “While you are quite distracting, I think we both know when something important is happening, I won’t let anything stand in the way, not even your ‘feminine wiles’, nor matter how… strong they may be.” He gave her a small grin, his hand moving to her back and turning the pair towards the ingredients.
[break][break]
“Now let us continue. The ingredients must be perfectly measured for this potion, and some of them can be difficult to figure out – the porcupine spines must be whole, not broken, but still have the same weight dictated at the recipe. The pearl dust must be within two granules of the perfect weight, and the spines can be split once. So, you should work on practicing getting the perfect amount of each ingredient, and I’ll inspect when you believe you are done.”

She leaned into him, tucking herself into his side, finding she fit there quite well. Plus he was warm in this chilly dungeon. She hadn't really noticed it till just now. Shoulders exposed, legs to the knee exposed. She had really chosen to impress over functionality. Next time she'd bring a sweater.
"Oh, ho! So the Potions Master has a weakness. Distracting women and their feminine wiles."
She nodded sagely. "Though, not distracting enough. I haven't even been kissed yet."
She turned to him, winking flirtatiously.
But now was the time to focus again, because while being cute and all was fun, she did come here with a mission. Not that mission, though that worked out oddly in her favour .
She hopped up onto the stool as he was giving instructions and unlatched her heels from her ankles. How long had she been standing in these? Holy moly. The strappy heels clattered to the floor and she rubbed her ankles before focusing on the ingredients before her.
She really had been unpractical. Silly feminine wiles.
And like any star student, she began to retrieve tools and instruments, the instructions on the potion near her left hand to be referenced. Knife, scales, pestle and mortar, all of that.
As she worked the pearl gently into dust, feeling sort of bad for it (it was her birthstone, after all), she decided it would be good make conversation. At least to see how he would take it; she did like conversation after all.
"Do you prefer the countryside, or closer to the city?"
She smiled, still focused on what she was doing. "I'm somewhere in the middle, honestly. But you know. Being what I am, it's better to have the open spaces. Just incase."

Was she trying to kill him? Because if she was, she was doing such a great job at it. Master of emotions, the great Severus Snape, was caught by surprise. A hand had gone up to his lips and barely touched them, as if she had just kissed him just by suggesting it.
[break][break]
“Hm. Not women. Just one woman.” He gave her a gentle smile before it quickly faded away, “And regardless, wouldn’t a kiss be more memorable if it isn’t expected? After all, it would be… our first together.” Just thinking of his lips against her, the tender expression of care for one another, sent shivers down his spine. He was in control of himself and so he didn’t show any outward sign, but boy was there a battle inside of his head.
[break][break]
Just get it over with!
[break][break]
No, what if she doesn’t want to kiss me?
[break][break]
She just suggested that you do it.
[break][break]
Yes, but then it wouldn’t be as special.
[break][break]
Any kiss with her would be special.
[break][break]
It was a little bit crazy, but, well, when one was used to bottling up their feelings, the feelings tended to… become stronger over time, and the bottler had to get a stronger bottle to keep them back.
[break][break]
“Countryside.” His answer was quick before he decided he would explain himself further. “I would rather do without the nosey neighbors, idiotic muggles and wizards alike.” He rested a hand on her shoulder, watching as she worked, his hand running along the back of her neck, playing a little bit with her hair.

"Filing that away with my ever-expanding list of talents, then," she said, still grinning at him.
At his response about kissing her, she studied him a few moments before smiling gently and softly chuckled. "My, oh my. I'm glad its cool in here, my body temp just went up several degrees."
She transfigured her knife into a frilly looking Chinese fan and began to fan herself with it, grinning impishly. "You do quite well with ensaring the senses with words like that."
With a snap of the fan, it detransfigured and she set it back down, laughing softly. "That is a very romantic thought, though. And if you would like me to take me by surprise then be all means..."
She looked up to him again, "just don't keep me waiting too long, hm?"
Her heart was honestly about to come out of her chest as she felt his touch on her shoulder, along the back of her neck.
"I-I like the countryside," she said decidedly, attempting not to focus on the thoughts that followed that.
"I- I mean, if you took a werewolf wife, it would be the best. It's said that we can get quite animalistic in certain situations.
Oh yeah, she went there.
She bit the inside of her cheek, eyes narrowing, to keep herself somewhat focused on what she was doing. Feeling daring though, she angled herself slightly and teasingly ran her foot against his leg, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.
Did he want to make her crazy? Well, two can play this game. Game on.
She set the pestle and mortar in front of him for inspection, moving onto the spines as she began to measure them out, a few of the larger ones, some of the smaller ones... soon she realized she would need to split at least one. She took up her knife and suddenly hissed sharply.
"Ouch. Shoot."
She had managed to knick herself.

He raised an eyebrow at her little display. While yes, he found it completely adorable, he also wondered what she was trying to do – seduce him? He had already agreed to date her, though he would admit to himself he was completely out of his element when it came to dating someone. He hadn’t dated anyone before – let alone… kissed anyone. He had always thought Lily would be his first kiss when he was younger, but well, we know how that turned out. He didn’t want to admit that – he was 30 and hadn’t kissed anyone, wasn’t that something people normally would laugh at? He wondered if she would think less of him for it – though he doubted it. Of course, her brother and his friends probably would laugh at him for it.
[break][break]
“You should know by now, sweet talking me won’t get you what you want any… faster,” He slowed his words down at the end, having leaned in, practically whispering it in her ear before quickly standing straight again and looking as if nothing had just happened at all.
[break][break]
However, when she suggested him taking a ‘werewolf wife’ and how they could get ‘animalistic’ in some situations, his mind immediately was thrown right into the gutter and his face turned a bright red at the thoughts running through his head. No, he had to control himself. No letting yourself think that way, Severus, focus. Clear your mind. Think of something bad to counter the good, that usually worked in the rare instances he had something good to think about like this.
[break][break]
His father. Oh boy, that worked really well. His blush had disappeared, though he had felt her foot along his leg, which made him shiver slightly, but at least his mind wasn’t in the gutter anymore, and all it took was one little thought of the man who was supposed to love him but didn’t.
[break][break]
When she hissed, his eyes focused in on her completely, disregarding the ingredients and he quickly took ahold of her hand, kneeling beside her and pulling out his wand to heal the nick. “Be careful. You can’t let yourself get… distracted.” He stared at her finger, running his hand over where the blood had come out, now completely healed and then he looked up at her, a concerned look on his face. He quickly leaned in, pecking her lips quickly, as if embarrassed, but it wasn’t showing on his face at all. “It would be unfortunate if one of these times you hurt yourself too bad and it couldn’t be healed completely.” He gave her a small smile, still kneeling next to her as he tucked his wand away.

She sighed softly, a half grin on her lip. "Excuse me, but I do believe you were the one sweet talking me there."
She chuckled, noting her suggestion had the desired effect. But the blush was gone as quickly as it was put there and she frowned slightly. Ah, well. She had plenty of time to be coy, as it was.
A pleasant shiver ran down her spine as the spell did its job on the tiny wound. And then the brief, teasing touch of his lips on hers. Not enough. Her mind had gone wild now and when she opened her eyes to look at him, regarding him, it showed.
He was still kneeling there in front of her, he was putting his wand away. She reached out a gentle touch to his cheek to draw his gaze back to hers.
"Not enough," she said simply, a tender expression overtaking the wild look as she leaned towards him and pressed her lips soundly against his.

“Perhaps.” Perhaps he was playing coy – perhaps he was teasing her, or perhaps he didn’t think he was sweet talking her. Well, two of those were true. Given his amused look, it was pretty obvious which two were true.
[break][break]
To be perfectly honest, the slight peck of her lips wasn’t enough for him either. He had distracted himself in order to keep himself from doing anything more, tucking his wand away and such, but his mind was racing. Especially when she took his cheek and drew his gaze to hers. There was something in the back of his mind, as if it were a feral creature trapped in a cage that was just clawing through the bars, trying to get out.
[break][break]
When she pulled him in for a real kiss as opposed to his barely anything kiss, his mind had gone blank for a moment. At first, he didn’t respond, as he was computing what was going on, before he allowed his lips to move against hers, his tongue sneaking its way into her mouth and exploring the unknown chambers. His cheeks were a bright red, and his nose was a little bit in the way but tilting his head just a bit helped with that, deepening the kiss as the tilt happened.
[break][break]
Both of his hands went to her cheeks and his rose up just slightly to press himself against her more, his chest not far from hers, and a hand dropped down to her waist. After a few moments, he released the kiss, his eyes wide and staring at her. It almost felt like something that switched on in his head – something that helped pull him out of the deeper pits in his mind, something that made him… happy.
[break][break]
“Distractions,” He whispered as he pressed another kiss to her lips, allowing this one to linger for a few moments, more tender than the hungry passionate first kiss, but still just as intense. As he pulled away from this one, he gave her a smile and slowly rose up to his feet. “This potion might take a little… longer than I anticipated to master.”

"Perhaps indeed," she replied, chuckling lowly.
The look in his eyes matched the wild look in hers from just moments before and she smiled.
She began the kiss, slow and gentle. It took him a moment to respond, but only a moment.
She allowed him to take the lead. She had given him the inch he needed and he took a mile. Worked for her.
She hummed into the kiss, shocks of pleasure racing up her spine as he deepened the kiss.
You know when you're told you're kissing the one you're meant to be with, that you'll see fireworks? Well, she was seeing that and so much more.
Her hands moved on their own, entangling into his hair, pulling him impossibly closer to her, her tongue meeting his in a heated passionate dance.
While he led, she returned the kiss with determination. She made a noise in the back of her throat when he deepened the kiss. She completely forgot where she was, that she was in his classroom. Inappropriateness be damned. There was nothing more taboo-like than loving a werewolf. Dark magic incarnate.
Yeah, that's right world. She was snogging Professor Snape. No, he was snogging her senseless. She had only fantasized what a kiss like this could be, where you forgot time, location, space, forgot everything but the person whose lips were currently attached to yours.
Was this because this was her first? No, it was definitely more than that. However, she did have to make a note that he was very skilled at this. If she had been standing, she surely would've gone weak at the knees.
Her hands travelled from his hair, not without a teasing touch to the back of his neck with her fingertips, to grip the front of his robes firmly.
Kissing Severus Snape was one hell of an adventure.
He pulled away and he looked happy. She was delighted.
Her eyes were alight with several different emotions. Most prominent was the hunger, the want of more. The tiniest hint of lust mixed with a tender gaze of love.
Happiness: a step in the right direction. Even she knew of the influence she had on Severus Snape. He was still basically the same on the outside, but he was much less cold. Not to mention as the years went by, more life had begun to enter his dark eyes. And she was proud of that. Was she arrogant to think that it all happened because of her, a little show of kindness from day one? Completely acting opposite of her namesake? Maybe a little. But she knew it was the truth.
The truth that led her here.
She gave a lopsided grin. "Distractions indeed. Of the best kind. Question is, who will be distracting who, hm?"
She trailed her fingers down his chest and gave a smile she believed was coy, or seductive, one of the two.
Another press of his lips to hers, this one lingering and tender and causing her heart to attempt to leap out of her chest. She ran her tongue along her bottom lip as if tasting the remains of their kiss.
She smiled impishly, "and by what, do you mean by that, Professor. Are you prolonging my studies for personal gain?"
She giggled again, looking up at him, a gorgeous smile on her kiss-swollen lips. "Are we talking longer than my final year?"
She gave him a wink.
"That sounds like a proposal to keep me.
Not that I'm complaining."

He hummed slightly, his mind acutely aware of everywhere she touched, craving, needing her touch. However, he had stilled himself, trying very hard not to make things progress too fast – he wouldn’t want to scare her off. Or scare himself off. He knew he wasn’t a coward – he did so much for people, and never would ever get any sort of credit for it, but – but in the end he still did it.
[break][break]
However, he was also very uneasy with these sorts of situations – not that he’d ever been in one like it before. He could betray everyone, have everyone hate him, and he’d be fine. However, allow someone to love him? That was scary. That was terrifying. His heart was beating fast, to where he felt like he was going to have a heart attack – he didn’t think he was ready for anything more than these kisses, and even they were incredibly intense… though he’d do whatever would make her happy.
[break][break]
In a way… he was afraid of happiness itself. Because anytime he’s been happy it was taken away. Those who loved him beat him or watched while someone beat him. Those who he loved turned away from him because he had made such terrible mistakes – he didn’t blame her either. He was afraid he would lose her, make choices that would make her hate him – but he also knew he might have to make those moves, and he just knew it would be painful when it happened.
[break][break]
“Hmmmm… Well I originally thought it would be me distracting you, but now I think… perhaps, you might… distract me from time to time. How will I hold back from you during class, hm?” His eyes flick towards the ingredients she had been measuring.
[break][break]
“Well, if you’re not… complaining, then there isn’t a problem is there?” He grinned, running his hands up her sides and then around her back. “Maybe we’ll even have to have a few days of teaching to make sure things get done.” Was he suggesting that they meet up like this more often? Maybe. Was he hoping she would say yes? Yes. He wanted to spend time with her – he wanted to be with her more than just Saturdays.

"Charming," she said with a grin. "Are we referring to these special classes or classes where it's more than just me and you?"
She giggled softly, "while I know that my very presence will be a terrible distraction, I have faith that you can resist my charm for the duration of your lecture. At least in the witness of others."
She tilted her head slightly, looking at the ingredients. "Well, we didn't determine how long these classes we're going to be. We just agreed on first thing Saturday morning after breakfast."
She gave a shrug of her shoulders, giggling again. "No, definitely not a problem."
She looked at him, gaze coy, "extra sessions atop extra sessions? Hm, sounds like you want dates, not teachings."
She smiled, "of course, I would be amenable to that. But I would prefer someplace cosy and with a fire, perhaps? And tea? And a love seat to cuddle in? Hm?"

“Oh, just our classes. I know I can resist you around others – I have a special talent for that. However, when we’re alone, I don’t quite know if I could keep my hands off of you.” His low drawl extended the sentence for several moments longer than usual.
[break][break]
“Perhaps we should eat before we get distracted again and forget the meal that made you late.” He smiles tilting his head slightly. “It would be a shame if it were wasted.” His eyes glanced towards the basket she had brought with. He was curious as to what was inside, and it had been just long enough to be able to inquire without it seeming too early.
[break][break]
“Well, what about extra sessions atop dates?” He looked at her with a smile, considering and picture the scenes in his head. Tea, a fire, her, love seat. Hm. Where would one find things like that? He considered for a moment, having not found the room of requirement before, wondering where a good place like that would be. “Unfortunately I have not seen a place much like that in the castle. Do you have a place in mind?”

She gave a thoughtful hum, eyes mischevious. If Snape was adept at reading the Marauders as she thought he was. He would know the expression on her face spelt trouble. She said nothing, however, and the expression faded as she smiled at him, giggling softly.
"I don't remember brewing Amorentia recently, Sev," she teased. "Or have you drink any, of course."
She snickered, personally, she was enjoying this side of Severus Snape. Romantic, charming, witty, even the sarcastic barbs were delightful. He did seem to enjoy touching her every chance he got. She wondered briefly if it was like an anchor, reminding himself that she was actually there.
She found herself reaching out to stroke his cheek, drawing her fingers along his jawline, tracing his nose and thumbs brushing along his eyebrows, a soft smile on her lips. Gentle caresses, gentle reminders: I am here. I am real.
Lily Evans had honestly been an idiot. Then again, she married an idiot. So, it all went hand in hand and worked out perfectly. If she had to be honest, that was probably the story she disliked the most, sure James and Sirius had been giant prats - and for the record, still are; her brother included on this for some things - but the way Lily had just... heartlessly abandoned Sev because she just didn't understand. It had been heartbreaking for her.
And if one questions his intentions because of his interest in dark magic. Well, again, another reason the Lily Evans thing bothered her. Stupid goody-two-shoes Evans. Maybe Rose felt this way because she was technically a Category Four Dangerous Creature and people judged her just based on that. The moment anyone found out what she was, anything she had been prior to that gets washed away and she was instantly feared.
A person studying dark magic was of a similar sort. But she had to admit, to be so well learned to be able to create their own spells.... she kind of wanted to be like that. Light cannot exist without darkness, and there were always going to be shadows. her thought was, as long as a person was responsible, it didn't matter to her.
And the Death Eater thing? Again, she was a werewolf; she had no right to judge a person of their past dealings as much as they were of her.
It all came down to if they were still doing bad things or not.
And before you ask, no, she wasn't doing any of this out of pity. Perhaps maybe she was too easy to love him - but she did anyway. She was very quick to wrangle what she was feeling into a decisive action.
It seemed every minute that passed was just another minute used for them to fall in love with each other, as it was.
Personally, she enjoyed the attitude where her condition was treated like it didn't matter. She was responsible for her condition on her own. She took her potion, as needed, to keep it at bay. There was no reason for anyone to fear her.
One day, there might even be a possible... "cure". Though, she believed that the werewolf could not be ever taken out of her, so to speak, but perhaps the transformations could be stopped or halted. Or put into a partial state, like a person attacked on a non-full moon.
Theories, so many theories she had, but she wasn't yet smart enough, learned enough. She had so much research to do.
Her attention was turned to her lunch basket.
"And what makes you think there's anything for you?" Obvious joke was obvious, especially the smile she held after it.
She used the stool next to the table where the basket sat to hoist herself up to sit on the table next to the basket. She indicated at the stool for Sev to sit, as she dug into the basket, setting out things. Plates, glasses, and cutlery came first.
"Though, I've always wondered if you took something out of the great hall, like, a plate of food. Would the dishes vanish as they usually do? I normally just brought them back to the kitchens the next morning when I took meals in my room on occasion. So I guess not."
Also known as the 'The Girl Who Lived' incident.
"As I said earlier, I didn't think ahead, so harassing the poor house-elves didn't get me much, but what I did get I thought was pretty good."
She then began arranging a plate, not seeing the need for two anymore.
"I do apologize if it seems if I lean more on fruit... but... that's kinda how I am," she giggles.
The plate she built consisted of the following: a crusty bread roll, strawberries with the tops already removed, blueberries, grapes and assorted meats and cheeses.
She popped a grape into her mouth with a smile. "I tend to eat light for lunch and stuff high with natural sugar to get me through the day, as I'm not much for coffee. Some people love it, I think it tends to have a strange aftertaste."
She shrugs.
A brow rose into her hair, a teasing smile on her lips, "extra sessions, dates, actual sessions, actual class. Is there going to be a moment in any day that I won't be in your presence?"
Had she gained yet a second protector? Oh boy.
She wasn't complaining, oh no, far from.
Technically there would be times, but she enjoyed teasing him. She smiled, leaning in to press a kiss to his nose.
"Anywhere with a fire would do really," she says, head tilted. "It doesn't really matter. As long as I'm with you."

[googlefont=Quicksand][googlefont=Ubuntu:400,700] [nospaces] [attr="class","manalishi"] [attr="class","manalishil"] [attr="class","manalishiltop"] [attr="class","manalishiltopp"] [attr="class","manalishiltop2"]I wish I could stop loving you [attr="class","manalishiltop3"]so that I could free myself of the pain of you not being able to love me back. [attr="class","manalishilpost"]
He gave her a slightly amused look, though he saw that look in her eyes, and he was ready for her when she came out with it – he had seen that look many times and had learned to dread it, and yet here he was almost… longing for it.
[break][break]
“Amortentia has a similar effect, though not the same as what is happening to me right now. To be completely honest, this has been affecting me for quite some time, but I haven’t allowed myself to… act on it. Amortentia only simulates love by creating an obsession. Of course, many could mistake it for love. However, Amortentia, if I had taken it, well… I think you would be able to tell the difference.”
[break][break]
It was almost as if she was reading his mind – her touches grounding him to reality, assuring him this wasn’t just a dream his mind dreamed up. It showed him that yes, he could be cared for – liked, even… that other L word. How could this be real? How could someone who had made so many mistakes like him… find something like this that made him so happy? How could someone who fought on the other side of the war, hurt so many people – someone who had no friends, no one who cared about him – someone who was bitter and cynical like him find happiness? Happiness in the sister of one of his school bullies?
[break][break]
It all felt so surreal, so… fantastical that his mind kept telling him it couldn’t be real. He had been very subtle during the last year or so, during which he didn’t realize he had been developing feelings for her, but they had slowly been building up until this point. He didn’t think it was possible. She was his student. He was her teacher.
[break][break]
And yet every once in a while, he would look at her and feel his heart leaping out of his chest. He would not get annoyed with something that would annoy him coming from anyone else. He would glance at her more often and push her harder than anyone else because he knew she could do better. He wanted her to do better. But she was his student. And he was her teacher. It couldn’t be. And so he had pushed it to the deepest recesses of his mind.
[break][break]
The touches, the gentle touches against his skin, along his face, they just kept telling him the impossible had happened, really and truly. Somehow, the forbidden feelings he had hidden were able to be released. Finally, he could be happy. He could finally relax and allow himself to feel instead of pushing them away like he had done with everything else.
[break][break]
“There’s,” Severus began taking himself out of his thoughts as he mused about the plates and the food at the Great Hall, “An enchantment that connects the kitchen to the Great Hall. Anything that was transported before to the Great Hall is taken back if it is still on the tables.”
[break][break]
He looked at the food and nodded. He wasn’t one for eating anything really, so he didn’t mind the cuisine, but it was a bit of a surprise to him – he expected given her… condition she would prefer meats – he had thought he was going to have to cook his food slightly, so it was edible for him. He didn’t start eating and instead looked at her with a smile. It was one of adoration, as if he was falling in love with her all over again.
[break][break]
“I’m not one to eat much of anything. I’m sure you’d think my tastes are bland. Especially considering you’ve actually thought about what to eat. I – just eat whatever I need for sustenance. No real thought to anything else.”
[break][break]
He bit his lower lip thinking about how much time he would be spending with her – which he didn’t mind, in fact he was looking forward to it. He hoped he wasn’t smothering her, wanting so much so fast and to take up so much of her time when the only thing he could repay her with was teaching her the potion and his company. It didn’t seem quite… enough to him, but if she was content he would be as well.
[break][break]
“I know the Three Broomsticks has a suite – perhaps I could rent it out sometime – I know it has a fireplace, and I could summon up a love seat.”
