There was something about his voice as he whispered his command in her ear. The silky whisper was both seductive and dangerous, and her stomach tightened in an embarrassing arousal. She quickly nodded her assent to his command so that he would move onto another student instead of causing these conflicting emotions in her. And when he finally moved away a few seconds later, Hermione released a breath that felt like she had been holding for hours. Hermione knew that her cheeks were flaming red with her embarrassment to her reaction and she felt disgust for herself for reacting to a teacher in such a way. She had never thought about one of her teachers in such an inappropriate manner, even during her second year when she had had a crush on Gilderoy Lockhart. But Snape’s casual whispered demand had done unbelievable things to her. It was only through careful concentration that allowed her to focus on her the complicated potion that the class had been assigned.

However, that carefully built concentration was destroyed when she looked up at the board to verify a measurement and she found herself staring into his mocking black eyes instead of the board. She bit her lip as she struggled to rationalize what she was feeling and she kept repeating to herself that it was her Potions Professor whom she respected. Her only feeling for him was a respect and admiration, nothing more. If she felt lust it was merely a misplaced lust from being surrounded by her fellow students who seemed to spend more time mating with one another than they did studying. To help her believe it, she started silently repeating every single nasty comment that she had heard about Professor Snape. She continued to remind herself that he was the overgrown bat of the Hogwarts Dungeons and not someone like Viktor or Ron. Strangely enough it was the thought of Ron, her boyfriend, that managed to kill any feelings of lust that she was feeling, and it allowed her to finish her task.
