Snape clutched at his arm and winced as a bolt of pain shot through it. "I guess it's healing." He groaned, looking down at the stitches that held his flesh together.
He couldn't use magic to heal the wound as it was too deep, luckily he had missed any veins.
Only a few days had passed by and he had not seen Liliana.
He assumed to himself that she had simply seen the error of her ways and woken up to the fact that that he's a repulsive, pathetic man.
His eyes met hers as she entered his classroom along with her fellow 6th and 7th years.
She smiled openly, and he couldn't quite understand it. He thought she regretted their kiss but she obviously didn't.. so why had she avoided him since?
"Today, I wish to see you each brew me one potion of your choosing. I shall be judging your concoctions at the end of this lesson... do not mess this up." He spat, his eyes knowingly fixed on those of Seamus.
He perched himself on the end of his desk, it was unlike him. Usually he would take a seat and continue with his marking as though none of the students were there but this time he watched carefully. His eyes were transfixed on one particular girl.
"Miss Valance what potion are you brewing?" He asked casually as he paused at her cauldron. He knew exactly what it was but he was more than intrigued to hear her response.
"Amortentia." Liliana blushed, wishing he would move on to another student.
"I see... and what exactly does the potion smell like to you?" He asked with narrowed eyes, before being quickly beckoned over to Ron Weasley by a groan of 'bloody hell'.
"Weasley what are you waffling on about?" Snape hissed, as Ron spun around drenched in purple liquid. "It was Malfoy, Sir!"
Snape saw a smirk on Draco's face and did something truly unexpected...
"20 points from Slytherin for sabotaging Mr Weasley's work!"
"Potter, bring me your potion!" Snape scowled as the class was coming to a close. Harry did as asked and winced as the potions master sniffed his vial.
"What the hell do you call this? Mrs Norris could brew a better draft than this! Do you know what your problem is Potter? You think that rules don't apply to you at all because your the precious chosen one! Well, golden balls your celebrity status is wasted on me... F." He seethed.
"Miss Lovegood?" Snape sighed, watching as the blonde approached him cautiously. "Not too bad Miss Lovegood, but not deserving of a high grade.. I think a C is in order." He groaned, swatting her away from his personal space.
"Miss Valance..." he drawled as he pulled out the stopper and took a whiff.

He froze on the spot, and regained his composure slowly. "CLASS DISMISSED!" He shrieked, shoving each and every student out of the door aggressively. Only one remained... Liliana.
"Did I do something wrong with my potio.." she wondered, being quickly silenced by his lips. He pulled her into his arms and launched his tongue into her mouth, he groaned as he explored it entirely.
Gasping for breath they broke apart, and Snape rested his forehead on hers, "Why do I keep doing this?" He asked her honestly, "why am i unable to keep away from you?"
Liliana smiled, and put her arms around his neck. "I don't think it's such a bad thing.." she giggled. Snape wriggled out of her grasp and stood back, "I'm sorry but I need to fight this temptation.. I want you, I really do but we are crossing lines that should never be crossed."
His heart broke as he saw her face sadden, her eyes looked as though the life had been sucked out of them.. and then she smiled.
She just smiled...
"It's ok, I understand. I don't want to cause you any extra stress, so as much as it hurts please don't torment yourself Severus." She smiled, squeezing his hand. "Oh, Professor I'm sorry I shouldn't have called you by your first name." She sighed.
"I'd like you to call me Severus, and I'm glad that you want to be friends." He purred, stroking her face gently. "Merlin, witch you're so hard to resist." Snape chuckled, beginning to find his own heart ache amusing.
"I want to be so much more than friends Severus, but life isn't fair all of the time."
