AN: I was looking at reviews earlier, and I just couldn't help myself. This one is for Miss Q. Fear not, you aren't the only one. Enjoy!
No, you're not the only one.
“He is rather sexy, isn’t he?” The small sitting room fell silent as the quill stopped its path across the parchment.
“Beg your pardon Minerva?” Minerva’s head snapped up from the page in front of her and she couldn’t fight the flush that was slowly making its way upward.
“It was nothing Albus, never mind.” She tried desperately to ignore the raised eyebrow he sent her way, but only succeeded in turning a brighter shade of red. She didn’t turn around as she heard the quill in his hand begin scratching across the page again as she released a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
The room was quiet for a minute or two, the popping of logs in the fire and the gentle scratching in the background the only sounds filling the air. She had just completely relaxed back into the love seat before two hands wrapped themselves around her shoulders from behind and Albus leaned over her left shoulder. He stopped, his lips just skimming her ear, his hot breath sending shivers running straight through her. “Pray tell, just who is sexy Min?”
“How did you..” her voice trailed off. ‘Damn him,’ she thought as his tongue darted out and ran across the shell of her ear. He knew exactly what that did to her. “Severus.” It took a moment for her to realize she had spoken. How could her voice ever sound so hoarse?
This was obviously not the answer he had been expecting, because Albus’ grasp on her shoulders loosened and he pulled back slightly. “I see. Should I be worried?” His voice was its normal calm, but she could tell by his clipped words that he was getting upset. After all, how many men would like to hear their wives talk about other men like that?
Minerva let her head fall back against the love seat, looking directly up into his eyes, putting on her best professor expression. “You should be.. of what I’ll do to you if you don’t relax. Honestly Albus, sometimes I just don’t know what goes through that head of yours. I was merely agreeing with the consensus,” she said, exasperated, as she waved the parchment she had been reading in his face.
Albus took it from her, and snorted with laughter as he read the title. Hogwarts Hotties. It was a list of the professors, separated men from women, in order of their sex appeal. To his infinite surprise and shock, Severus topped the list on the men’s side. Even more surprising, he was number two.
Her looked down at Minerva over his half moon spectacles and grinned. “You’ve got to be kidding me? How did the students ever come up with this? Not the list,” he said, cutting off her question, “I meant the order. Do they even realize how old I am?”
“Well,” she said, standing up and moving around the love seat, “Severus does have his faults, namely his personality, but from a purely aesthetic vantage point, he is quite the catch. Every woman, at some point, has a thing for the bad boy. Most of us just have enough sense not to act on it.”
Her arms came up and wrapped around his neck, her fingers wrapping themselves in the hair at the base of his neck. His arms automatically wound themselves around her slender waist, pulling her closer. “Every woman Minerva? And who was your cad?”
Shaking her head, she reached up and thumped his nose.“A story for another time Albus. Now, as for the runner up, you do have 130 years on them, but even they could see what I’ve told you for the last twenty five.” His bright blue eyes twinkled down at her in amusement. She still enjoyed playing with him after all these years and it warmed his heart.
“And what would that be, oh leader of the pack?” She grinned, pulling him down to meet her.
This time it was her lips that teased as they made their way up his jaw line. “You only have to walk into a room for me to be hot and bothered. Apparently,” she said in almost an afterthought, “I’m not alone.”
The list dropped out of Albus’ hands, forgotten. But, it would be only one of dozens of copies posted around the castle the next morning. It was even rumored that Snape had been caught staring into a suit of armor before lunch, checking his hair.
