The wind outside howled like a banshee twisting its way amongst the tall, thick trees of the Forbidden Forest. A full, ominous moon shown dimly through a thick covering of clouds that were the deepest shade of grey. The sky was an eerie mixture of black and midnight blue. Deep within the bowels of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an unlikely couple is found.
�God I love you,� Karina gasped in pleasure as her lover peppered kisses down her neck.
�Shhh,� he murmured, unbuttoning her shirt. He slowly slid it off and tossed it to the floor.
Karina reached up and undid his shirt, taking her time and caressing his soft skin. Things with him were never rushed. He wanted her to be happy and would make sure she was. Karina was a gorgeous girl of 17, standing at 5�9��. She had the most captivating eyes he had ever seen with their shimmery silver-grey color. He simply got lost in them every time he looked into them. Then there was her hair, a delicate balance of crimson and gold that flowed gently to just above her shoulders.
�It�s cold tonight,� Karina whispered suggestively.
�You read my mind,� he said.
They undressed and returned to the bed. Immediately they began passionately kissing, both groping for the other in a mad rush of hormones. Karina reached down and began stroking his member. Slowly, it began to harden in her grasp. She abruptly stopped and looked into his eyes with a questioning look.
�May I?� she inquired eagerly, breathing deeply.
�You don�t have to ask,� he answered.
Repositioned on the bed, Karina began sucking on his hardened length. When he could not take it anymore he simply picked her up, laid her on the bed and slid himself into her slender body. He set the pace very quickly. She emitted low moans and gasps in-between rounds of kissing. Oh how she loved him. She knew she�d loved him the day he�d first sent for her three years earlier.
???????????
The next morning, Karina sat at the Gryffindor table, absolutely despising the people around her. In her heart she believed she was a Slytherin and that the hat had known something she had not. Well it turned out that the hat had known something that she hadn�t, that she would fall in love with the one person that she was supposed to dislike the most simply because he was a Slytherin.
�Hey Karina pass the syrup would you,� Ron Weasley asked, his mouth full as usual.
�Get it yourself, you slob,� she said and ignored him.
�Oh quit being so mean to him,� Hermione said rolling her eyes in Karina�s direction.
�Why don�t you go stick that frizzy little head of yours in a book and shove off,� Katrina spat.
�Don�t talk to my girlfriend like that,� Harry said angrily.
�Oi! Since when are you two together?� Ron asked astonished.
�Since the summer,� Hermione said, blushing.
�What did I do to deserve this?� Karina moaned.
She got up and collected her things. She walked off in a huff and headed for her first class of the day, Transfiguration. Oh how she loathed that class. It had no importance at all. None! She had about half an hour to kill before class started so she sat down in the back of the classroom and waited. Within five minutes she heard footsteps and then the door creaked open. Karina let out a sigh of relief when Severus Snape, her potion teacher appeared in the doorway.
�You scared me,� Karina breathed.
�I�m sorry. Not hungry?� he inquired, obviously having taken notice of her behavior.
�I just couldn�t stand that prick and his flunkies!� Karina muttered.
Snape walked over to her and took her into his arms.
�I know it�s hard. Believe me I know,� he whispered into her ear.
She looked up at him and he kissed her gently on the lips. It felt good but she wanted more. She pulled him down onto a desk and deepened the kiss. He had no objections. Before either of them knew what was happening garments were shed. Their passion blossomed like no other. Caught up in the heat of the moment, they did not hear the door open.
�What on Earth!� came the astonished voice of Professor McGonagall.
Snape sat up and looked at his colleague and then down at his young lover whom was lying topless on the desk.
�Oh my god!� Karina gasped as she met the brisk, determined stare of her head of house.
�Put some clothing on immediately Miss Clark!� she ordered.
�Severus I�m appalled!� she continued as she turned to confront the ashen-faced man whom was also topless.
�Minerva�what are you doing here?� he asked, his voice rising ever so slightly in pitch.
�It�s my classroom. I should be asking you that question,� she stated with a disgusted air in her tone.
�That is none of your business,� Karina said coming to stand by Snape.
Professor McGonagall closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
�Both of you come with me,� she instructed and handed Snape his shirt.
�How dare you��he began but Karina stopped him.
�Don�t. Please,� she begged.
He nodded and put his shirt on. He knew where they were going and he didn�t like it. He reached out and took Karina�s hand. She squeezed it reassuringly even though in her mind she knew that now; nothing was for sure.
