HI! this is my first fan fiction EVERRRR so preshe be nice XD um isgonna switch from ginny and snapes point of view. DONT WORRY its not all eeeew. you'l understand when i write more chapters. ALSO lets just pretend snape never died.

GINNYS P.O.V

Ginny took a deep breath and lay back onto the cool, wet grass. She imagined harry was there with her, but he'd unfortunatly finnished school a while ago. She had one, frustrating year left, and it was going faster than ever. With all the pressure of NEWTS and finding the ever depleting time to see him, she felt like she had none left for herself. Today, however, was much different. all she was going to do was lay peacefully on the soft grass at the other side of the lake and hoped nobody would find her. She didnt mean to cut class, but there was just no other option. she was so incredibly tired. Just as she took a long, calming breath out, she heard someone clear their throat uncomfortably. 'Damn!' she thaught. 'not even an hour'

"Ms Weasley?" a deep voice spoke her name. well, her mothers name. she hated it, she liked potter much more. she opened her eyes and was suprised to find professer snape looming over her. 'buussssted' she thaught. She never really like snape, and since she was caught anyway, saw no reason to be nice with him.

"Professor, you are blocking the sun"she smirked.

his hands curled into fists for a matter of seconds, then he released. he looked worried.

"A-ARE YOU OKAY?" he stumbled over his words, and spoke much too loud. She was amazed, stunned, flabbergasted. Pesky professer snape was asking HER if SHE was okay. "um, i-i guess so?" did she look sick? why would he possibly care?

"oh, ok then never mind, just forget i asked you" he looked a little upset as he turned away, but ginny's curiosity for why he had asked, and hadn't taken her to detention was still bubbling firmly in her gut.

"sir, why do you ask?" she shouted after he had twenty metres away from her back to the castle. he turned around slowly, with a comforting look in his eye. This was too strange, she thaught.

"its just that i have received some news that your not coping very well. i wanted to know if i could help in any way." he seemed incredibly embarrased at his proposal " with your exams, i mean. i happen to know a fair bit about the dark arts, so i could help you with that and your potions, of course." he seemed to smile a little at the fact he could help with defence against the dark arts. he continuously mentioned it during potions classes.

"oh'. ginny really had no idea where this came from. She never really spoke to professor snape, even in class. for her, he was way to akward to be around, and harry had told her countless times of the insanley unfair punnishments he had received from snape. none the less, she did need help with her exams. but working alone with a teacher would be just a little too weird. "um,' she thaught a little more deeply about it.

he figured she had made up her mind and was preparing his 'dont worry about it, tell me if you ever need anything' sentence, when she replied with a slight pitch change in her voice

"sure, why not?"

ginny had no idea why she had just agreed to sit alone with professor snape after class , but she couldnt really go back on it now.

"oh! alright then. see me after class tomorow." his top lip curled into a smile as he walked away.

"sir!' she called after him. he turned around "are you going to tell anyone i'm here?" she already knew the answer to the question.

he smiled and turned away.

shit, she thaught, and she grabbed her bag and ran further around the lake, towards the forrest.
