"That'll take forever. I might as well just waltz in and announce myself to him."

"Oh stop whining. And in case you forgot, you already broke in and announced yourself. You didn't get the best reaction."

Sirius sat with his arms crossed and a pout on his face. He truly looked like a kid throwing a tantrum. It would've been funny if the matter wasn't as serious as it was.

"Trust me"

His eyes met mine and he nodded his head in understanding. I smiled at him and began my trek back to the castle. As I walked in I came face to face with Mr Malfoy yet again. Although this time he was with Professor Snape and Dumbledore.

Why can't I escape him?

"Ah, Miss Kenner, just the person I was looking for."

Oh shit

"Mr Malfoy and Professor Snape are looking for a person to help with their potion stocking."

I opened my mouth, but Snape cut in first, "I brew the potions for Lucius and he purchases them. However, I seem to be in need of some assistance in brewing them."

Dumbledore's eyes seemed to twinkle more than usual. I looked between all three men and gave a small smile.

"I suppose I could be helpful and you could continue our tutoring this way. So it's a win-win situation."

"It is indeed," Malfoy confirmed with a predatory smile.

"Great, you will begin immediately. I understand the week has just begun, however the sooner the better."

We all agreed and Dumbledore left us to ourselves. I turned completely to look at Professor Snape and Mr Malfoy. They just looked at me.

"So when shall we begin?"

"Tonight, before your session with Lupin" He ground out through his teeth, then walked off. That left Mr Malfoy and me in the hall. He broke the silence first.

"So how about tomorrow night for our dinner?"

"So we've upgraded to a dinner."

"Yes, we have. I'm finding your company enjoyable."

I don't know how, all I do is insult you or your son.

"Well, I'm a very pleasant person when given the opportunity."

He chuckled, "Dinner, here, at 6 in Severus' quarters. He'll be in his lab so he shouldn't be a disruption."

"I guess I will see you then" I confirmed then walked off to my first class of the day.

—--------------------------------------

I stood outside Professor Snape's office ready to knock when someone else fist beat me to it. I turned my head to see Lucius' face right next to mine. I huffed out a breath and the door opened, revealing Snape in his teaching robes. His eyes narrowed slightly at us but then moved to let us in.

"We will begin with your lesson then onto brewing. Lucius make yourself useful and start shredding the Boomslang skin. We're brewing polyjuice potion."

He gestured for me to take a seat in my usual spot as he walked to his seat across from mine. I braced myself for his invasion, all my walls had been placed up and my mind was clear. His eyes connected with mine and I immediately felt his intrusion. I breathed in and out at a normal pace as he poked and prodded at my walls. I pushed forward a memory of Jack and I talking.

"Professor Snape is so damn hot, he is just–"

"Don't you think about anything else?"

"Soph, how am I supposed to when he looks like that? I mean how do you even pay attention."
