The Same Girl
-Draco, wait please!
-What is it, Severus?
-I need to speak with you.
-Okay.
-In my office, please. Come with me.
-Sure.
-Please take a seat.
-Severus, what happened?
-I have been watching you these past weeks and noticed something that worries me.
-Like what?
-Please answer honestly: Are you in love with Miss Granger?
-What?! No, of course not!
-I said, answer honestly!
-Come on. Why would I be in love with this mudblood?
-Do not call her that!
-I'm sorry… But since when are you protecting a muggleborn?
-That doesn't matter right now. I am more concerned if you lost your mind.
-I am not in love with Hermione, okay?
-You know that I am a very good Legilimens – and still you're lying to me… Don't you trust me?
-But, Severus. Of, course I trust you!
-But?
-… Yeah, you're right. I love her, okay?
-You really did lose your mind, didn't you?
-It's not my fault she's so intelligent… and beautiful… and just great.
-I'm not sure the Dark Lord will understand this. Miss Granger is after all a muggleborn and the best friend of Harry Potter.
-I know…
-What were you thinking?!
-You don't think when you fall in love. You just do.
-Well, I hope that you do not try to convince her of you, but instead will forget her.
-I can't forget her! She's too amazing for that!
-What am I going to do with you…
-You won't tell the Dark Lord, will you?!
-Of course not! But eventually he will find her in your thoughts.
-Then please teach me more Occlumency. He can't find her in my mind!
-Okay, I will. But only if you promise me not to be nice to her and not to try to become her boyfriend.
-No, please not! She is my only joy!
-But it will mean your death very soon!
-I know…
-So?
-Okay. I agree to your conditions.
-Good.
-Yeah…
-It is good.
-Wait. This is not about the Dark Lord. It's about you!
-I don't know what you mean.
-You love her as well, don't you?
-Don't make me laugh. That's ridiculous!
-Is it really?
-Certainly.
-I am one of the few people who know you very well. I can see the jealousy in your eyes and you just seemed a bit too relieved when I agreed to your conditions. You love her – maybe even more than I do. Don't you?
-…
-I said, don't you?!
-Okay, okay. You're right. Yes, I love her.
-And you tried to convince me why I shouldn't love her?!
-I'm sorry…
-I'm your godson, for heaven's sake! Don't you want me happy?
-Of course, I do…
-But?
-I really do love her… More than anything in the world…
-But the Dark Lord will kill you as well when he finds out!
-He will not find her in my thoughts!
-Severus, you're living even more dangerously than me, you know that!
-And why is that?
-Because I'm just a boy who can make mistakes like falling in love with the wrong girl. But you're a grown man. People expect better from you!
-I don't care! He can kill me if he wants – I am not going to forget her!
-But you just wanted me to do the same!
-I still do.
-That's not fair!
-Maybe it's not but it's still better this way.
-Oh, Severus. You're a complicated man, you know that?
-I guess, I do.
- :)
-And now? What are we going to do now?
-I think we should let Hermione choose. Without getting killed by the Dark Lord, of course. Or sabotaging the other.
-Pff. That's easy to say for you.
-And why is that?
-Because if she had to choose from one of us, she would choose you.
-I'm not so sure about that.
-Oh, come on! I'm 20 years older, ugly as sin and her professor.
-Yeah, but she punched me in the face three years ago. She admires you because of your knowledge – but she hates me.
-I don't think she does.
-Well…
-We're strange, aren't we?
-Oh, yes we are.
-We not only love the same girl but she will bring nothing but ruin.
-But she's totally worth it.
-Yes, she is…
THE END.
