I woke up feeling..mixed feelings. I had about a million thoughts going around in my head, and on top of that, I was starving.

But that was the least of my worries; I had to figure out where I was and whose bed I was in... I sat up and realized that I was in a gothic type room, and that I was naked under the covers of the bed I was on.

I looked next to me on the left side of the bed, to find the clothes I had worn last night, folded neatly.

Well, whoever's bed I was in was at least a nice guy, I thought to myself.

I recalled everything: the Felix, singing, and being with my dream guy..

I threw on my boy shorts underwear, the little blue jean crop top (from last night), and the hump I had in my hair last night was long gone, so I just fluffed my hair with my hands and decided to go find this mystery guy.

I walked barefooted the bathroom inside the bedroom, so that I could wash my face and brush my teeth. I used an extra toothbrush I found..and then I used a spell to make me smell like a waterfall.

Okay, I breathed as I left the bathroom and opened the closed bedroom's door, so that I could go and find this guy.

The first thing I smelt was mint; a faint, but familiar smell.

I walked further out of the bedroom, closing the door behind me and beginning to explore.

The first thing I saw was a medium length, all black staircase.

I walked down the staircase and into a room that was gloomy, and all black.

I couldn't help but think that this was the house of a haunted soul...whose haunted soul was still the question..

I walked around, examining at the books in the cases, when I found one of my favorite love stories.

I took the book from its place and flipped through it; it had many dog-earred pages.

I stood facing the book cases, lost in the book, with my back to the open space.

"Are you enjoying that?" asked a voice from somewhere behind me.

It gave me a start and I turned around, closiing the book and clutching it to my chest.

OMB (Oh Merlin's beard)! I thought as I quickly looked over the man, who was leaning on the wall of the doorway with his arms crossed, nonchalantly. I couldn't believe who it was, but I tried not to let it show in my face as I answered him.

"I fancy forbidden love stories, yes..You know, what my favorite part is?" I said as I hugged the book to my chest, keeping my feet planted where they were, because I didn't trust legs that threatened to buckle beneath me.

He didn't say anything, he just raised his eyebrows in response.

"I love the part when Walter(the male character) has just confirmed that he's not human, when he and Jay(the heroine) are in the forest and he says-"

"So the beast fell for the precious beauty." He finished for me, while slowly walking over to me, only stopping when he was at arms length. "And Jay says-"

"What a dumb beauty." I finished for him this time. "And Walter says-"

"What a masochisitic beast." He finished for me again.

And then there was silence. It wasn't awkward, it was peaceful; it was like we were both studying each other and thinking.

I was thinking some many things at one time, and there was so many things I wanted to tell him. But how do you tell someone " I've been dreaming about you for years, and hey, I killed the guy you thought you killed last night", without actually saying it like that?

I looked into his eyes and there it hit me: Those were the eyes I'd seen in many dreams.

I thought about us together last night; I remember thinking that I loved him and feeling that emotion growing even stronger now, as I stood there.

It was weird, but I've always liked weird..

"I need you to use Legilimency on me" I blurted out to him, surprising myself.

"Excuse me?" He seemed taken back by this sudden demand.

"Please" I gulped. "I have a lot to say to you, and I-its just to much to put into words."

I then realized he'd stepped closer to me, and that I was completely still. I tried my best not to blush at how close we were because we had been a lot closer last night..

He reached out and took the book from my clutch, almost a little too rough, not completely meeting my gaze.

I watched him put the book on the shelf and then come back to stand in front of me.

"Please" I breathed, looking him directly in the eyes.

He finally meet my gaze and then he said: "You are going to have to open your mind and let me in".

I took a deep breath, and then took a small step closer to him, so that we were almost touching. "I'm ready."

And I was. I had cleared my mind, so that he could see all of my memories clearly.

His eyes boor into my eyes and I did my best not to blink or think.

After a while, he blinked away from me. He paced around the space for a bit, which made me nervous. I didn't know how to break that silence.

"Before you say anything" I blurted out to him as he faced me, now a few feet away, still not meeting my gaze.

"I followed you because I just wanted to help...and for a girl like me, last night was as good as it gets, so.." But I trailed off because I couldn't finish; I was looking down at the floor, sheepishly..

"Last night was a mistake" he spit out at me, and it hurt like a bow had been shot at me.

I kept my eyes averted from him as I blinked back burning tears. So I was a mistake? I couldn't help but think to myself.

I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out at first. Until something inside of me clicked, and I found my voice and exactly the right words to say.

"Professor Snape" I said, my voice stronger than I would have expected.

"What happened between us last night was no mistake. I have been dreaming about you for years and if anything, I am in a state of grace."

I took small steps toward him and stood there in front of him.

He reached out to touch my face with one hand, and he pulled me against him with the other.

"You are not the mistake" he breathed to me, finally fully meeting my gaze.

Just like last night, he slowly leaned down to kiss me... I caught that lovely minty smell..and then he broke the kiss for a moment to say: "I never saw you coming".

He smirked that smirk again, making me blush and I replied "I will never be the same."

The snogging started up again, and we somehow made it to the bedroom..

I was definitely in a state of grace; I didn't know you could fall in love so fast...or was this lust? What's the difference?

But then, I lost my train of thought as things got hot and heavy.

Once again, I was under a love spell. And it felt oh-so-good..

I kept losing track of my thinking, it is so hard to keep track of thoughts when you're in a state of grace...

I smiled as he snogged my neck. This was defenitely done by the hands of fate...a forbidden love story, indeed..
