The Afterglow

As you lay in the afterglow of your lovemaking, your bodies entwined, you decided to take this opportunity to address some pressing matters. You propped yourself up on one elbow, looking down at Snape.

"Severus," you began, your voice soft but firm, "I need to make sure of a few things."

He looked up at you, his eyes still dark with the lingering intensity of your shared passion. "What do you need?" he asked, his voice low and rough.

"Do you want me to stay at Hogwarts?" you asked, your gaze steady.

"Of course," he replied without hesitation. "You aren't going anywhere now."

You nodded, a small smile playing on your lips. "Good. Because I want a private dorm."

His brow furrowed. "A private dorm? There aren't any available."

"I know," you said, your smile turning a bit mischievous. "But I know there's one in the boys' wing that's unoccupied."

Snape's eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head. "I cannot put you in a male dormitory, in a male hallway. It will cause too much trouble."

You leaned in closer, your voice dropping to a whisper. "You will do exactly that if you want to keep me happy."

You straddled him again, still naked, your hands resting on his chest. "Do you want to keep me happy, Severus?" you asked, your tone both seductive and challenging.

It was clear from the look in his eyes that he hated being manipulated in this way, but he was also torn by his desire to keep you close and content. He sighed, his hands coming up to rest on your hips.

"This is not how things are done," he said, his voice filled with frustration. "But... if it means keeping you here, I'll see what I can do."

You smiled triumphantly, leaning down to kiss him. "Good. I love hearing that."

He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer. "Just know that manipulating me like this has its consequences," he murmured against your lips.

You smiled, your breath warm against his skin. "I know I'm an entitled little witch," you said, your voice playful but serious. "But I'm your problem now."

Snape's eyes darkened with a mixture of frustration and desire. "Indeed you are," he replied, his tone both resigned and affectionate.

You kissed him deeply, savoring the moment of connection. "I won't make it easy for you," you warned, a teasing smile playing on your lips.

He chuckled softly, his hands roaming your back. "I never expected you to."

You sighed, resting your head against his chest for a moment. "I have to go home," you said reluctantly.

Snape's grip tightened slightly. "What will they say if you are caught sneaking back in?"

You lifted your head, your eyes meeting his. "It's none of their business. They have no right to act like parents now."

He nodded, understanding the bitterness in your voice. "Very well," he said, his voice tinged with resignation.

You kissed him once more, a lingering kiss filled with emotion. "I'll see you when I get back on Sunday," you whispered against his lips.

He cupped your face in his hands, his eyes searching yours. "Be careful," he murmured. "And remember, if anything happens, you can always come to me."

You nodded, feeling a surge of warmth at his words. "I will."
