Challenge: Week 2/2007 - “50 points from Slytherin Challenge”
A/N: These four drabbles were written for Phoenix Rising based on GrangerSnape100 Challenges.
“That will be 50 points from Slytherin, Professor.”
“I beg you pardon?” Severus stared at the new librarian in disbelief.”
“Surely, even you are not exempt from the rules?”
“Rules, Miss Granger?”
She pointed to the sign hovering overhead:
“All books must be returned on time. No exceptions.
A 50 point penalty will be imposed for tardiness.”
“They’re not late.”
“They were due yesterday.”
“You can’t be serious.” Severus studied the witch. “And what would it take to earn back the lost points?”
“Are you trying to bribe me?”
“Will it work?”
“Pick me up at eight and we’ll see.”

Challenge: Week 3/2007 - "Tucking In Challenge" and Week 6 -"Snape Has It All Challenge"
Severus surveyed the lab with a critical eye. Everything as it should be. There was nothing evident to mark yet another failure at finding a cure for Lycanthropy.
He felt her presence even before her arms encircled his waist, her touch a balm to his soul.
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s only a matter of time before you find the answer.”
Wearily he nodded, knowing she was right. “Alexander?”
“Tucked in and on his way to dreamland as we speak. Come to bed, it’s late.”
A loving wife, the miracle of a child - he truly had it all.

Challenge: Week 3/2007 - "Tucking In Challenge"
Roughly, he thrust one leg than the other into his pants. With a deft turn of his hand, his bits were securely tucked into place before hastily pulling on his trousers.
“You’re leaving?”
“Class started ten minutes ago.” A freshly pressed shirt flew into his waiting hand. “God only knows what state I’ll find my classroom in.”
“Do you really think you can just come and go like this?”
“Just come and go? If I recall correctly, the score is three to one. It would appear you’re the one who came. And came. And came,” he said with a smirk.

Challenge: Week 11/2007- Challenge "Dirty Limericks & Poetry"
A/N: All right, maybe not dirty, but a limerick nonetheless.
“There once was a witch named Granger,
Who captured the heart of a tall, dark stranger.
“Being your friend is fine,
But I will make you mine,”
He said with more than a hint of danger.”
Hermione stared at parchment in front of her lost in thought. He who?
“Problems, Professor Granger?”
She looked up into the black eyes of the Potions master, the tall, dark Potions master. “Problems? What could be wrong?”
“Trouble comes in many forms, Hermione.”
Hermione’s eyes slipped shut as he whispered in her ear, a quiet shudder running through her.
Severus smiled at the possibilities.
