The proposed topic was a Snape/Hermione ship scene. I called it "A Matter of Trust", because to have a Hermione who is of age hook up with Severus, she'd have to intelligently and rationally assess what happened between the potions master and Dumbledore at the end of HBP and decide for herself that like so many other fans out there she still trusts Severus...

This is the moment where she makes up her mind to do just that. What comes next I leave to your collective sordid imaginations... Hope you like.

And if nothing else, I had to admit, some of the few good things we've got as hi-res shots from OOTP so far are magnificent views of Snape's potions lab.

If only organic chemistry had ever looked this good in school, I might have taken an interest. Then again perhaps it was the fact that our teacher didn't have the right kind of robes to go with the equipment, or the fact that she looked like Dolores Umbridge's ugly older sister...
