Why this must be read:

This fic makes Hermione and Pince look so right for each other, that after reading it you may catch yourself wondering why this ship is so rare. The author does a great job of showing that intelligence is sexy. In fact, this is a very hot story. As it was written in 2004, there are several non-canon aspects to it besides the pairing. But this actually makes the fic more appealing, especially because the author's ideas do make sense within the HP universe.

When they parted, gasping for breath, Irma stared at her in wonder. She seemed on the verge of tears. "I shouldn't be doing this. It's wrong."

"I'm old enough to make my own decisions."

"I could lose my place, Hermione."

"No one will ever know."

Irma swallowed. "Why me?"

"You're beautiful."

She let out a short bark of laughter. "I certainly am not."

Hermione held her gaze. "But you are. Your mind...it's astounding. And look at you. Here." She reached behind Irma's head and loosened the knot of her hair. It fell around her shoulders, a chestnut brown cascade.

"I'm far too old for you."

"That's for me to judge. Do you have a -- a girlfriend?"

"No, I...no. I used to. A long time ago." She smiled, but her eyes were sad. It wasn't the time to press the matter further. Hermione cupped her face in her hands and kissed her again, more steady and sure. Their tongues flicked together, insistent.

"I'm going to...I want to touch you," Hermione said. "Is that okay?"

"You don't have to."

"I want to."
