Chapter 2: The Awakening
'Well, well, well if it isn't Miss. Granger' he thought, 'sleeping on my couch no less, I see that Dumbledore has finally given her the news, so she should not be surprised when I wake her up'
"Mrs.Granger, wake up now, we have things to attend to" he shook her roughly, and she awoke in a state of fear, she jumped up and screamed "PROFESSOR SNAPE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WITH ME? IN THIS ROOM? WHAT IS GOING ON?"
"Dear child, please do calm down your going to give me a headache, which is saying alot, considering even the battle itself didn't give me one" he sneered. Severus was not used to comforting a woman, or to being in one's presence. The only "ladies" he had been around so to speak were the whores, that Voldemort had given to him as gifts for good behavior, which had always been disposed of quickly after, with no need of comfort, just pain, and malice. Her behavior did not shock nor surprise him. Snape just had no earthly idea on how to respond to it.
"If you do not want me to panic, hex you, kill you even, then give me one good excuse as to why I should feel unthreatened by the presence of a greasy headed professor, death eater no less, in the room that Dumbledore took me to, I'm guessing out of safety, on the night of the final battle, and let me tell you Snape it had better be a damn good reason!" She threatened him with her wand to his chest, while saying all of this, she did not understand why Dumbledore would put her in a room with this foul greasy death eater. It made no since to her.
"Look Granger, as much as I do not enjoy your company, you being here in this room- WITH ME," he pointed his hand to himself "is for your own damn safety, so do NOT threaten me in my own quarters, do not challenge me as being a death eater. I cannot believe that the old man has told you nothing!" She backed away from him a bit, and withdrew her wand.
"No, he told me nothing, Which is why I'm clearly shell shocked to be here, Why aren't you out fighting for whatever side it is your on anyway?" she seethed to him. He looked down at the floor and saw the letter that had fallen out of her arms, when she had jumped up to defend herself needlessly against him. He reached down picked it up, saw the seal of Dumbledore on it, and told her
"Miss.Granger I believe this holds the key to all your answers..."
A/N: so this is the second chapter, I now have some of the plot line layed out in my head so this story should get more interesting, and move faster. R&R.
