Chapter Ten - Detention

-Sorry Hel.. - Max was feeling awful for sending Hela to detention.

-It's okay Max. You just asked for help. - Hela assured resting her hand on his shoulder.

-Yeah but if I didn't you wouldn't be headed to detention.

-Max, you needed help, I helped you.You didn't force me to. Besides it won't be that bad.

-Hope not.

-He's quite fond of you isn't he? - Heather layed in the bench across from the group.

-Yes, it's because she makes him smile. - Felicity blushed as she said that.

-Felicity? - Hela got closer so the others couldn't hear.

-Come on Hel you'd be so cute... - she shyly smiled.

-FORREST! - Hela laughed playfully hitting her friend's arm.

-Ms.Vaughn? - Snape caught their attention from the near corridor he was passing.

Snape's feature spoke it all and she nodded.

-Bye guys. - Hela got up.

-Please come back in one piece... - Max whispered.

-Mr.Quentin if you don't want me to listen to a word you're saying your whispering skills must be improved. - Snape coldly said not glancing at the group leaving the boy out of place.

Hela muffled a laugh and Heather mocked placing her arm around his shoulders pretending to comfort him.

-Follow me. - the dark cloak followed its owner gracefully as always.

The corridors were practically empty, fainted voices could be heard occasionally as a small sign of life.

Professor Snape's shape was barely visible as they were engulfed by the darkness the dungeons offered. The old torch next to Hela rouses catching her out of guard.The others rouse as Professor Snape passed by them.

The Potion Master whispers something and the heavy wooden door opens letting them in, revealing the Potion classroom.

-You must serve three hours in detention. - Snape said opening the door to his private ingredients' room, letting her in. - First you'll help me rearrange the ingredients on this shelf. Then while I grade some papers you'll carefully..- he emphasizes - take those bottles out of the cabinet and clean it placing everything in the exact same spot. Understood? - he asks bringing his hands together resting one on top of the other just below his stomach.

-Yes sir - Hela kneels in front of Professor Snape grabing the white piece of fabric destined for her to use it.

Professor Snape swallowed and exhaled kneeling by her side.

Fifteen minutes later the shelf was cleaned and organized. Snape got up exhaling heavily due to the amount of time he spent on his knees. The Potion Master extended his arm towards Hela, opening his hand to help her up. -Thank you. - she spoke softly, quickly shutting her mouth once she felt the small distance between them.

The feelings running through their veins could be felt for anyone in the room, lucky for them they were alone. In the dark. Face to face. Breathing heavily.
