So Much for No Strings Attached

Chapter 8 New Lessons

'I think he'd be more likely to torture them,' muttered Harry.

'And you've never felt that urge?' asked Snape.

Harry blushed recalling the thought back when Draco had caused Granger's teeth to enlarge and Snape had taken points off Harry and Weasley had started to shout at Snape. Now, however, Harry just found the image of Hermione Granger with long teeth incredibly hilarious.

Snape raised his eyes, 'may I ask when.'

'When Draco enlarged Granger's teeth and you took points off us saying you saw no difference,' Harry said. 'I rather wanted to torture you.'

'Charming,' was Snape's only reply.

'So will the potion be ready by Sunday?' asked Harry.

'Do you doubt my prowess as a potions master?' asked Snape.

'Of course not, sir, but I'd like not to have the irrational desire to hate you and Draco whilst I still feel like I should forgive the Weasels, Granger and Dumbledore,' Harry snarled.

Snape nodded in response to this. It seemed like Snape actually understood how confused and angry Harry felt at the moment and was for once willing to let his outburst go. Maybe it was because they were no longer enemies or his dad hadn't actually betrayed them or he was Snape's master's son. Whatever it was Harry was pleased for it.

'You know it's funny,' Harry said. 'That was only a couple of weeks before Lucius and I first...' Harry trailed of blushing.

'As much as I'd love to hear about you and my best friend's sex lives I believe we only have two hours to get started on Occlumency,' Snape interrupted.

'What do you think Voldemort will do when he finds out about Lucius and I?' asked Harry.

'Lucius is useful to the Dark Lord and you care for him,' Snape replied. 'He won't be happy but he won't kill Lucius.'

Harry looked relieved. He may not be in love with Lucius or anything but he didn't want to be responsible for the man's death. Plus Lucius had many benefits. He was great in bed. Harry blushed again.

'Can we get started or are you going to continue fantasising about Lucius?' asked Severus.

Harry glared at the man, 'so what do we do?'
