Had anyone entered the infirmary at that precise moment, they would have stumbled upon a very incriminating scene, indeed... Severus, sitting upon the edge of the bed, legs partially spread-Claira kneeling between them, tugging and pulling vigorously on his crotch to free his zipper from a snagged button. Rumors of their erotic escapades would have been etched on the marble wall for centuries....
"I thought you said you've done this before," Severus smirked, thoroughly enjoying her fingers' distress.
"I have, but keep in mind, the other patient was about seventy-five years old! As you can imagine, I took no pleasure in removing his clothes," Claira replied with a light chuckle, still unable to look him straight in the eyes. She was beyond embarrassment at this point. She was relieved, however, to see that the wound only extended to just below his navel; she wouldn't have to completely take off his pants.
" Ah, I see. So am I to believe you ARE taking pleasure in the removal of mine? If so, then I must say-"
"Don't!" Claira interrupted quickly. It had just become apparent to her that her words would have to be chosen more wisely around this man. She couldn't help but smile at his audacity though. Dipping her rag in the bowl once more, she continued on with her cleaning.
"I must thank you, Professor... for seizing every opportunity you had tonight to embarrass me."
Claira worked diligently throughout the next half hour, mending the gash and applying a thick, pasty ointment. Just as she was rounding the last foot of bandage around Professor Snape's waist, Madam Pomfrey arrived, eyes darkened and weary. At the sight of them, she immediately marched over with a look of 'what has he done now?' on her face.
"What happened?" She asked sternly, while lifting the bandages to make sure the dressings were done correctly.
"Graphorn attack," Claira answered as she stood, placing all loose materials back on the medicine trolley.
"Well, you'll have to remain over night, Severus," Madam Pomfrey tutted. "The antitoxins will wear off in a few hours, and need to be reapplied."
She then turned to her assistant.
"I'll take over from here, Claira, thank you. Go get some rest. We'll most likely be swamped by first years in the morning."
"I'm fine, really." Claira knew she wouldn't be able to sleep, not her first night at Hogwarts anyway.
" I insist dear, now off with you." She immediately beshooshooing her away with the wave of her hands.
Claira had no choice but to abide. On her way out the door, she overheard Professor Snape assert;
"Have one of the house elves bring me a dish from the kitchen, Poppy. If I am bound to this mattress, which is quite uncomfortable might I add, I'd rather be so on a full stomach."
"I think not, Professor. You should have thought about that before you got yourself mauled. Let this be a lesson to you, if nothing else!"
Severus lie awake on his stony cot, staring blankly at the ceiling, cursing Madam Pomfrey for depriving him of every single necessity he had requested. One bloody ration, is that too much to ask? Really, the woman's a tyrant! Folding his hands behind his neck, he breathed out a deep groan of boredom. Only one hour had passed, and already he was growing restless. This is absurd, he thought. He could be lying in his own bed right now. So what if his wounds need to be redressed? Perhaps Poppy could send Claira to his chambers to redo them.... even better if she came to him wearing a short, silk teddy. From what he could tell, the girl was sporting a rather exquisite body beneath those muggle clothes of hers. And given the opportunity, he could provide her with an all-new affection to treat... with her thighs, that is.
Severus chuckled wickedly at his perversion, though ceased immediately as he heard a loud creak come from the infirmary door. Quickly slipping his hand beneath the pillow, he gripped his wand tightly, preparing for the intruder-it was well past midnight, after all. Sitting up, he watched with apprehension as a small figure poked her head inside. It was Claira, looking quite mischievous.
"Is she gone?" she whispered softly.
Severus nodded his head, and Claira quietlyppedpped inside, hands tucked secretly behind her back. As she approached, he began to withdraw his wand. Where exactly did Albus find this chit, anyway? For all he knew, she could be a spy... or an assassin, sent by Voldemort as punishment for his betrayal.
Meeting her gaze, he suddenly hesitated. There was something calming in her eyes, something kind. And when she stood next to his bed, revealing to him the generous plate of food she had been concealing behind her back, Severus immediately revoked his previous accusations, and grip on the wand. He then accepted the dish, raising his brow at her in the process.
"Tisk, tisk, Miss Bell, already undermining authority are we? Have you any idea what Poppy would do if she found out you-" Severus quickly silenced himself at the sound of another door opening. As Madam Pomfrey walked through, he promptly shoved the platter beneath his blanket.
" I thought I heard voices in here. Claira, I specifically remember ordering you to rest." Her eyes swept over her suspiciously. "What are you doing out of bed?"
Claira felt as though she were back in school, half expecting Madam Pomfrey to whip out a ruler and smack her on the wrist.
" I... um, couldn't sleep, so I thought I might check to make sure Professor Snape's bandages weren't loosening-they're just fine...tight...good. Please excuse me," She quickly walked away, not wanting to be around if the woman discovered her smuggled booty.
