It was now Wednesday, 8th of January, the day after Mary's detention. Mary, Clary and Alison yawned as they made their way up the stairs and towards the Great Hall for breakfast. They had had Astronomy last night, so they hadn't been able to go to sleep until 1.30am.

"Oh man... I really hate those late Tuesday evenings", Clary complained as she pushed open the great wooden door, allowing them to enter the Great Hall. The room was filled with chattering students as they prepared for the day to come.

"Mm... I don't mind", Mary muttered as she followed Clary and Alison into the brightly lit space. Her mind was still wandering back to the events of last night. She could still feel the heat of Severus' body against hers, the tickling sensation of his hot breath as he murmured against her ear and sound of her moans filling the air.

Alison, who had noticed Mary's absentminded way of partaking in the conversation, smiled knowingly as she sat down opposite to Mary and Clary.

"Oh, by the way", Clary started as she poured coffee into her mug, "how was the detention. I forgot to ask last night."

Alison pursed her lips as she heard the question Clary had voiced. Taken by the look on the raven-haired girl, Mary decided to keep the details of her last night's detention to herself.

"Oh, it was alright", Mary replied nonchalantly, taking the coffee pot from Clary. "We just tried a new potion with him... Though he did complain about me calling him by his first name in front of the whole school."

The look on Alison's face relaxed slightly as Mary smoothly skipped the part where Severus had punished Mary in a rather intimate way. To both Mary and Alison's luck, Clary didn't seem to notice the silent exchange between the two women, and she just nodded as she took a bite of her toast.

As the three girls were enjoying their breakfast, Mary's mind wandered back to the events of last night, and moreover, to the worries of how she could face Severus during the next lesson. And to Mary unfortune, they would have Potions next.

The chilly air of the dungeons tickled coldly Mary's cheeks as she, Clary and Alison cascaded the stairs to that part of the dungeons where the Slytherin common room was located. Their breath rose in the air as barely visible clouds as they spoke, Clary muttering about how much she had managed to forget her book.

"And I don't even like Potions", Clary muttered, annoyance seeping through her voice as she jumped down the last two steps. Alison rolled her eyes, following her girlfriend to the hallway.

"And I most definitely don't like him", Clary continued as she walked through the hallway. Alison and Mary smirked at the young blonde Slytherin as they followed her to the back of the hallway.

"Honestly, Mary", Clary groaned as she took the last few steps and began to walk around the corner, " I don't understand how you can stand him".

What happened next, was entirely unexpected.

Clary yelped, as a dark figure appeared from behind the corner, nearly knocking her over as they collided.

For a short while, Mary, Clary, Alison and Severus only stared at each other. Then, Severus frowned as his lips turned into a gleeful smile.

"Not skipping classes, are we, Miss Smith?" Severus asked as he raised an eyebrow. Clary struggled to answer, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to form words.

"She just forgot her books", Mary joined the conversation, causing Severus' eyes to snap on her. Mary, who was feeling courageous, smirked as she added: Professor Snape. Severus narrowed his eyes, clearly informing Mary that she was going to pay for that later.

"I see", Severus muttered, gave Alison a brief nod as he walked past them and continued his journey towards the Potions' classroom.

****

The Potions lesson was rather awkward as Mary and Severus avoided each other's eyes. Mary tried her best to focus on the potion she was working on with Clary. Clary, on the other hand, did not avoid Severus' eyes. Instead, she was yet again throwing murderous glares at Severus. Mary didn't know if it was overall the fact that Severus was in a relationship with Mary, the fact that Clary knew what had happened between them during the Christmas break or was Clary's behaviour caused by the brief exchange between her and Severus before the lesson. Whatever the reason was, Severus had clearly decided to ignore it.

"Alright, class", Severus' voice echoed in the classroom as the class became to an end. "You are dismissed."

Mary let out a breath of relief as she began to gather her things as quickly as possible. But of course, that dismission didn't apply to her.

"Miss Montgomery", Severus muttered as he sat behind his desk. "Could you stay for a moment? I need to discuss something with you."

Mary sighed, her shoulders dropping as she leaned against the desk. Clary, who had finished backing her backpack, gave Mary a pitying look as she threw the bag over her shoulder and followed the other students out of the classroom.

Mary watched as one by one; the students left the classroom. And as the last student had walked out of the door and closed it behind them, Mary felt her body tense. Slowly, she began to turn around. But before she could move an inch, she felt strong arms wrapping around her body as Severus pressed his chest against her back.

"You think you're being funny?" Severus murmured, his hot breath sending shivers down Mary's spine as it tickled her ear. Mary swallowed loudly as she bit her lips.

"N-No", Mary squeaked. Severus right hand began wandering around her body as his left hand remained around Mary's waist, locking her in place.

"Really?" Severus hissed.

Swiftly, he turned Mary around, his hands remaining strongly on Mary's body as he faced Mary. His face was only inches away from Mary's as he locked eyes with her. For a moment, he only eyed Mary, but then, he loosened his grip. Slowly, a gentle smirk spread on Severus' face as he allowed Mary to pull away.

"Your friend isn't too keen on me, is she?" Severus asked, changing the subject as he walked towards his desk. Mary blinked for a moment, still trying to recover from the sudden intimacy of Severus.

"Y-Yeah", Mary stuttered, a small blush rising up her cheeks as she realised that Severus had probably heard every word they had spoken before the lesson. "You heard us, then?"

Severus turned around and faced Mary, slightly leaning against his desk.

"Yes, I did", he smiled, his eyes locked on something on the floor. "And I could not help but notice her trying to murder me with her eyes," Severus added, quickly glancing at Mary.

Mary blushed again. Severus, who had turned his attention fully to Mary, looked at the young woman with a tender smile on his lips. He could not help but find the way Mary was blushing utterly adorable.

Slowly, Severus began to approach Mary, taking Mary's hands in his warm hold. Mary's eyes shot up, looking at Severus with an unsure expression on her face.

For a while, they just stayed like that. But then, slowly yet surely, Severus' began to lean closer to Mary, gently placing his lips on Mary's as he kissed her lovingly. Mary, who was only slowly getting used to the fact that the feared Potions Master could just like that come and kiss her, tensed slightly. But as Severus placed his warm hand reassuringly against the small of Mary's back, she melted into the kiss.

Slowly, Mary pulled away, a shy smile tugging on her lips as her eyes met with those of Severus. Slowly, Severus raised his hand and wiped a strand of hair off Mary's face, placing it gently behind her ear.

"You know", Severus spoke softly, his voice barely audible. "You are really beautiful."

The blush on Mary's face only turned deeper as she heard Severus' words, her eyes quickly turning away from Severus' as they landed on Mary's feet. Severus smiled slightly at Mary's reaction as he leaned in, his breach causing shivers on Mary's spine as he whispered:

"And so fucking adorable."
