An Awkward Situation
Chapter Two
-
"Cleaning closet?"
"Yes, sir. A cleaning closet." She wanted to say more, but he cut her off.
"Granger, it might be best for you to know when to keep your mouth shut." said Severus
"I'd say the same thing to you, Sir, but I might get in trouble." said Hermione with a smile.
"You're correct. You did get in trouble." He smiled then added thoughtfully, "10 points from Gryffindor."
"Excuse me, Sir, but I didn't say it." She countered, getting aggrivated.
"Ah, but you implied it, Granger." Severus said as a matter of factly.
"Oh. I suppose.." She didn't want to argue. That would mean having to talk to him more that she'd like to.
He feigned suprised "What's this? Granger finally accepting that she's wrong, and shutting up? Oh how the Gods have fallen."
She decided to leave him with the last words, not wanting to blurt out something stupid on accident. 'Wait,' she thought. 'Why do I care if I say something stupid in front of him?' She shrugged those thoughts away and leaned her head against the wall, fighting off the inevitable headache.
Severus just smirked and started to jiggle the doorknob and throw random spells and curses at the door, some of which Hermione had never heard before.
"I've already tried that, Professor" she said rather bored.
"Well obviously you've not suceeded. That, silly girl, is where my expertiese comes in."
"Sir you are no 'expertiese' when it comes to unlocking locked cleaning closets from the inside. Unless I've missed the notice." she said slightly amused, adding a 'Sir.' for good measure.
"Apparently you have, Ms. Granger."
She gaped at him. "You can't be serious."
"Right you are, Granger. Suprise, suprise. I lied." He said. "But you had to see your face." he chuckled which resulted in coughing violently, he then used a inhaler.
Once he was calmed down Hermione spoke up, chukling a bit herself. "Who knew the 'Sexy mysterious Potions Master' had a sense of humor, and a bit of asthma as well."
He stopped fumbling to close the inhaler and rasied his brow at her then cleared his throat. "Did you -ahem- say -ahem- 'Sexy' Ms. Granger?"
"What? Oh. Sorry Sir, it's just what some of the girls in my year have been saying. Though I don't know what they possibly see.." Which was a lie.
She knew exactly why they were saying it. The way his long dark hair framed his face; the way he strode across a room in a few sly movements; the way his eyebrow rose when he was curious, confused or taken aback; the way he used his words with his deep voice; Those were the equivlent of sexy in Hermione's book.
Severus didn't respond. He just looked away. For a moment Hermione thought she may have hurt his feelings. She hadn't meant to. He looked at her questioningly. "Why must you stare at me, Girl? Have you gone mad, or were you lying and you truly think I'm so atractive that you cannot pry your eyes away from me?"
'Why that arrogant prick', Hermione thought.
"Of course, Sir. I find you devilishly gorgeous. In fact, I'm dying for you to have hot steamy sex with me right this second." She said sarcasticly. Severus' face flushed. She blushed. She was now having mental images in her head. Shaking the images from her head, she made to apologise, but he cut her off.
"Oh do shut up, Granger. Mind your attitude. Oh, and 100 points from Gryffindor. Ah, hell, Why not add a months detention with Filch as well."
"Sir.. I didn't mean to! Please. I expect my attitude is from being around Ronald too much, but please. I'm sorry!" She laced her fingers and gave the best puppy dog face that she could manage.
'Why the hell am I begging him with my apologies?' she thought to herself.
'Because you want him to forgive you... You want Gryffindor to win the House Cup this year!' Countered her conscience.
'Right, got it. Go, Go, Gryffindor!' She thought and supressed a chuckle.
She focused on her Potions Professor. He looked closely and let out a long hard full laugh. She hadn't heard him laugh like that scince... well, ever. She decided that she liked it, though she was nervous as to what he was laughing at.
'Is there something in my teeth?' she pondered.
After she thought it he laughed harder, if it were even possible. He was starting to scare her. At first she thought he'd gone mad. Then she thought he was doing it to make her as nervous as she was.
"Oh my." he started. still chuckling a bit. "I haven't laughed like that in years. I thank you, Ms. Granger, for that extremeley odd experience."
"Um, no promblem Professor..."
"Oh, and you do have a bit of something in your teeth. Just there" he said while scratching at his somewhat crooked teeth.
She immedietly went to pick out the thing that was apparently stuck between her teeth, asking him if she had gotten it out yet. He began to roar with laughter again. She almost thought he was on some sort of drugs. Almost.

A/N: Oi! Nearly 20 reviews! /dances the dance of joy/ Yay! Thank you so much. I love you all XD. Anyway I was re-reading my first chapter and decided I sort of made Hermione and Severus OOC. I'm going to do my best to keep them in character, but it's difficult. Hermione whined an awful lot last chapter. That's not like her at all. So yes, sorry about that. I liek the turnout of this chapter. I'm SO sorry it was a tad short.. I'll try to update sooner. Hope that you liked this chapter! If you did, or didn't, hit the little bluish button at the bottom. /winkwink/
(Sorry if there are spelling problems! I typed rather quickly... Be safe, everyone. Good day!)
