Hello lovelies! Thanks for all of the amazing reviews! Sorry it's taken so long to post, enjoy!
--------------------------------CHAPTER 4--------------------------------------
A frantic tapping woke Hermione from her depressed stupor. She looked over at her clock, it was almost three a.m. The tapping continued, it was coming from her common room. She got up and stumbled over to the main entrance to her chambers. "Who is it?" she called through the door. A gruff yet silky voice replied:
"It's professor Snape, now let me in."
"No." she declared simply.
"Miss Granger! If you do not let me in this instant I will blast this door-"
"Go ahead, you obviously have no qualms invading my privacy. I'm going back to bed." she turned to leave when he cried out desperately.
"No- Miss Granger please let me in, we have to discuss this-"
"No professor, good night." she said in a small, tired voice.
"I... I am very sorry Miss Granger. I should not have entered your chambers without permission. Please understand, I was desperate and I should not have left things the way I did."
The door to her chambers clicked open and she peeked out at him. "You're apologizing?" her eyebrow quirked and he nodded stiffly.
"Now will you please let me in? The hallway is not the place for such an... intimate conversation."
She stepped aside and let him into the room. He looked around and seemed to see the common room for the first time. "Your common room is very nice" he said, awkwardly attempting small talk.
"Thank you." she replied, then sat down in one of her armchairs by the fire. "Would you like to sit down?" she gestured toward the other armchair in front of the fireplace, and he smoothed down his robes before sitting down in the chair beside her.
"Well Miss Granger, I've never been one for small talk so lets get right to the point. Did you orgasm after you drank the potion?" For a moment she stayed quite, taken aback by his straightforward question.
"I didn't professor." She looked away from him, embarrassed and ashamed. "I fell asleep crying on my bed."
It was his turn to look away, "I'm so sorry" he said "but I could not let myself become involved with a student, even if she is my soul mate."
She looked up quickly, almost not believing what she heard. "You admit it then? That I, Hermione Granger, am your soul mate?"
"Yes Miss Granger it seems futile to deny it. Although I'm afraid I made a grave error when I burst in here earlier. I might have ruined both of our chances at falling in love with anyone else."
"What do you mean professor? Neither of us completed the ritual, so we didn't bond..."
"Yes that is precisely what I am afraid of. Since we both took the potion, but did not climax, the ritual remains incomplete on both sides. I don't think either of us will be able to experience a fulfilling sexual release unless we experience it together. To make matters worse, I felt compelled to come to you tonight. It seems as though I was drawn to you for the purpose of making you feel better. The potion is attempting to draw us together, bond us emotionally in an attempt to complete the ritual."
"So the potion wants us to have sex?"
"Yes Miss Granger to put it bluntly, it wants us to have sex."
"Why professor? You make it seem like the potion has a mind of its own, but that's impossible. A potion cannot be a sentient being."
"In most cases I would agree with you Miss Granger. But there is a spell that can be used to embed some of your own magic into a potion, only a very powerful witch or wizard could even attempt the spell. If completed correctly the potion will work to complete the wizard's bidding."
She looked at him open-mouthed, "Why didn't we learn about this spell in class? I've never even heard of this spell, I had no idea it even existed!" she jumped up and scanned her bookcase, as if a book containing the knowledge would fly out at her, ready to divulge it's secrets.
He looked back a her somberly. "There is a very good reason most magicians don't learn about this spell. If a witch or wizard is not powerful enough to sustain the spell and attempts to complete it, they will die. It's very risky business to even attempt this spell, in my entire life I have met one person who has successfully mastered it."
"Voldemort?" she asked, barley above a whisper, and sat back down in front of the fire.
"No, the wizard capable of this spell is still alive, and I believe he had a hand in our mishap."
"Who is it professor?"
"Albus Dumbledore."
"What!? But why would Dumbledore slip you the sole mate potion?"
"Because he's always sticking his crooked nose where it most certainly doesn't belong. Meddling old fool." He muttered under his breath.
"Well, what are we supposed to do now? We can't just stop living our lives because of some potion."
"We are going to pay a visit the headmaster." he asserted, his black eyes flashing dangerously.
********
They made their way up two flights of stairs and down the seventh floor hallway to the gargoyles guarding the Headmaster's office.
"Reese's Peanut Butter Cup" said professor Snape, and the gargoyle moved aside to reveal a slowly spiraling staircase. They stepped on and rode up until they reached the chestnut door with a brass knocker. Before he could lift his hand to knock, Dumbledore called from within: "Enter." The door opened silently, and the pair entered his office.
"Ahh... Severus, Miss Granger, to what do I owe this pleasure?" he smiled at them pleasantly over his half moon spectacles.
"Do you even have to ask Albus?" Severus said "Once again, you have meddled in my life, but this time it has effected a student in your care." Dumbledore looked at the two of them for several minutes in silence.
"I figured as much. You two are quite the striking pair." he said simply.
"You knew we would be soul mates? How? And why would you do this to professor Snape? Our relationship at best would be inappropriate, he could loose his position and credibility as a potion's master in the magical world-"
"Nonsense Miss Granger." he cut her off "You are certainly of age, and I always knew you two would make an excellent match. I would never dream of firing Severus for being with his true love. Now, would either of you two like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?" He held out two bright orange packages. "I discovered these delicious little things a few months ago while shopping in Muggle London and I-"
"Silence!" professor Snape snapped, and smacked away his hand. "Do you think this is funny? Do you find it amusing to remove our free will on a whim?" He stood up and strode across the office, and looked out the window facing away from the other two. "Miss Granger had her whole life ahead of her, and now you have effectively chosen her future for her." He said grimly "She will be stuck with me for the rest of her life."
"What about you professor? It's not like I was your favorite student. Hell, you didn't even like me!" She turned back to Dumbledore "He is stuck with me, and I know I'm not an easy person to get along with, none of my past boyfriends have had much trouble telling me so. I would drive him up the wall if we were to be bonded completely." At this statement Dumbledore seemed to do a double take.
"You two have not fully bonded?" He inquired with disbelief. "The potion I slipped Severus should have done the trick, how is it that you did not bond fully?"
"I um... interrupted the bonding ceremony." Hermione blushed. "I didn't mean to, it just happened."
Professor Snape returned to the desk and sat back down next to Hermione. "And when Miss Granger took the potion herself, I semi-inadvertently kept her from completing the ritual."
Dumbledore looked back and forth between the two of them, his blue eyes twinkling with electricity. "It seems as though things are going to become very interesting at Hogwarts this semester..."
"Do you still think this a joke? This is very serious Albus! I demand you give us an antidote immediately." he stood from his chair and slammed his hands on the desk. Hermione reached out and touched his arm, instantly relaxing him.
"Professor Snape please calm down, you know as well as I that there is no antidote to this particular potion. We will just have to make the best of the situation we've been thrust into." Hermione reasoned evenly. "And as for you Professor Dumbledore: I am very ashamed of you. Although Professor Snape and I are soul mates, you did not have the right to remove our freedom of choice. If Professor Snape and I were destined to be together, we would have gotten together in our own time. I don't know if I will ever forgive you for this, and I most certainly will not see you in the same light ever again." She sat silently for a moment before looking away thoughtfully, "Maybe Harry was right, and you've had own agenda this whole time..." She looked back at Dumbledore. "I've had enough excitement for the night, I'm going to bed." She stood up and made her way to the door.
"Miss Granger please wait!" Dumbledore said "I did this to help the two of you, not control you!" His face was pained and desperate, he really did have the best intentions.
"Albus, regardless of your original intent you have crossed the line once again. I too will retire." Professor Snape removed his hands from the desk, and walked over to the door where Hermione stood. They exited together and Dumbledore rested his head in his hands.
"Have I done the wrong thing Fawkes? Should I have let well enough alone, even though they would have been too stubborn to start things out themselves?"
The majestic bird looked at him for a second, then cocked his head to the side.
"You're correct as always Fawkes, my plan might not have gone as smoothly as I'd hoped, but it's too late for regrets!" He then proceeded to open up one of his Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and pop it into his mouth whole.
***********
Down two flights of stairs Hermione and Professor Snape were saying their goodbyes.
"Goodnight Miss Granger, do try and get some sleep."
"Alright professor... Nothing's going to change is it?" she paused, "Between us I mean."
"No Miss Granger, nothing will change if I can help it. You are still my student, and as your professor there are certain moral lines I cannot cross."
"What about after I graduate?" she asked desperately "I don't want to be alone forever..."
He looked at her strangely, "Miss Granger I highly doubt you would be alone forever. You are smart and beautiful, any wizard in his right mind would be lucky to have you. We will find someway to get out of this situation."
She leaned in towards him until their lips were millimeters apart, "I don't want to get out of this situation." she said, then kissed his lips gently. After a few seconds she pulled back and looked at her startled soul mate. "Good night professor, I'll see you in detention tomorrow night." Hermione closed the door to her common room, leaving a bewildered and slightly aroused Severus Snape standing in the fifth floor corridor.
