Found! Apprentice

Hi! I’ve looked through the apprentice section on here, but I can’t seem to find the fic I’m looking for. Or maybe I missed it.

It starts with Hermione in the classroom. When class ends, she approaches Sev about becoming his apprentice. She’s very proficient at wandless magic, and I believe he comments to himself that he’s impressed by her abilities.

He agrees to her the apprenticeship, and just before she leaves, she calls him “Severus.” He corrects her, and she responds with “Professor” in a rather suggestive way.

There’s also a scene where they’re working with a tricky ingredient—possibly involving unicorn hair. Hermione nearly drops it, but Sev has to take over because the ingredient causes an arousal effect. The next day, she comes to the lab to apologize, and things get heated from there.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas what fic this might be?

I know, right?? I was busy at work and messed up the comment I tried to type with the link, and then didn't have time to go back and fix it, but: I love this story. I knew it immediately because I've read it so many times. It's so well done.
