It was late night early morning. Severus was still awake in his study. The only noise which could
be heard was the scratching of his quill as he marked his idiotic students work and his heavy
breathing. His hair fell over his pale face as he wrote, he longed for something to happen,
something to add that bit of excitement to his life. He needed it, the kind of adrenaline rush he
got when he was doing a mission for that dark lord, but unfortunately for him the dark lord had not
requested his assistance for the past three months.
It had been hell. He felt so useless and he had no idea why. Well actually that'd be a lie he knew
exactly why the dark lord hadn't asked him for anything. Bellatrix Lestrange. They hated each
other, Snape and Lestrange, and he knew that Bellatrix was growing closer and closer to the dark
lord everyday. He could only imagine the Bullshit she's been telling Voldemort about him , It
made him wince at the very thought.
She sickened him. He may be a death eater but Bellatrix was the most twisted evil bitch he had
ever met. So selfish. So cunning. Pure Evil, and her way of charming people to, Seducing them
until she'd got what she wanted from them then she'd simply destroy them. Although he hated
her, Severus couldn't help but to admire her-though he'd never ever admit that- He loathed her
and that's all there was too it.
Whilst he was lost in thought a loud cracking noise came from the corridor outside his office.
Severus snapped out of his daydream wondering what it could be. It sounded like someone
apperating but that was impossible! People cant apperate inside Hogwarts Dumbledore put up
the barriers himself! Severus tried to convince himself that he heard nothing, was going insane
and that was all.
He continued marking but after a while heard footsteps in the corridor. He sat up and stared
blankly at the door, wondering if there really was someone there or if he actually going insane.
After a few seconds there was a quiet knock on the door. Due to the gentleness of the knock he
momentarily convinced himself it was a petrified student come to hand in late, But how could it
be! It was 3am! No student would be out of their dorm at this time and if they were they certainly
wouldn't be stupid enough to come see a teacher.
"…Yes?" He said quietly waiting for a reply
The door which he had locked earlier Slowly creaked open. He produced his wand from the inside of his robes.
"Who's there! Identify yourself!"
He held his wand up to the door.
The door opened fully but he could barely made out the female figure which stood in the
doorway in the darkness. All he could really see was her green eyes glimmering at him. 'ah fuck'
he thought
"Calm yourself Severus" The voice of the intruder spoke slowly and softly yet still with that
threatening edge.
