Walking practically running through the corridors she felt a few tears trickle down her face. She could still feel snapes touch upon her cheek and felt a Strong need for him to comfort her.

As she got to the common room she prepared to hide her face as she really didn't want anyone to ask questions, anyone how saw her crying would have been pretty shocked as no one had ever seen her cry. To her surprise the common room was empty and so was her dorm.

Oh they've all gone to Leo's dorm party, well that good i could use some time to think.

She threw her bag under her bed and sat down. She wiped away the last of her tears and lay-ed (practically throwing herself) down.

I actually kissed him. I kissed professor snape. Severus snape. I was the one who kissed him, I made the first move. Yes, I could see he wanted to kiss me but he didn't actually kiss me until I made the first move.

This is all my fault without even realising...Iv fallen in love and ruined my chances with the man I love before I even knew I loved him. Only you Louvaine could do that in one day! How am I going to get him back? I need to be around him. Ever since I left all I can feel is this aching on my heart.

She got under her covers and curled up in a ball attempting to ease the ache she felt...It didnt work.

She thought it would be best to get some rest as all the worrying had made her rather drowsy...The last thing she thought about was snape gently kissing her neck. She knew she needed him. She knew it.

The alarm read 6:48.

Augh, was all that a dream?

She could smell him on her clothes she forgot to change out of the night before.

No, it was very real. His touch, his smell, his lips on mine and this aching feeling is defiantly real! I have to see him. Breakfast! He'll be at breakfast.

She jumped out of bed and ran for the shower. Once out of the shower she got ready in her usual routine...Foundation, eyeliner, mascara, lips and finally hair. As it was Saturday she was happy she didn't have to wear her uniform. She searched through her wardrobe until she was happy with what she'd picked.

A purple V-neck jumper that hugged her curves in all the right places and showed her slim womenly figure. Black skinny jeans that looked like they were measured to fit and a pair of black converse to add her usual fashion flair to it.

Today she decided to put her hair up in a ponytail. Her hair scrapped back of her face with the ponytail in loose curls. Even when her hair was up it looked thick and dreamy. She had her hair up in a high ponytail but it still went down past her shoulder blades.

Stunning, she looked like a model. She always did but with her hair up all her perfect facial features seemed to show even more.

She checked the time, it was only 7:15.

Wow, that's got to be the quickest Iv EVER got ready! Well im glad im ready quickly. I want to get there early!

Breakfast started at 7:30 but when Louvaine had arrived at breakfast at 7:30 every other day all the professor's were already there and eating.

She left her dorm after tidying up after herself and walked quickly along the ghostly corridors. She had only ever walked the corridors when her friends and other people had been around but being 7:20 on a Saturday only a few people were up and about.

Standing in the entrance arch to the great hall her eyes darted from one professor to the another. Her heart beat loudy and fast as she couldn't see him.

Where is he? What if he's avoiding me...no he wouldn't do that. Would he? No, not snape.

She felt a hand lay on the top of her back. She shivered at his touch...she knew it was him. She turned round and sure enough it was him. Relief flowed through her as she stared up at him.

Wow. She looks even more stunning today. Is that even possible. Her beauty seems to radiate out from within her. She's a truly beautiful person. Utterly and completely.

"Good morning Louvaine" He said. His voice (she thought) sounded like velvet and would taste like chocolate melting in your mouth.

With a smile he looked up and walked around her towards the other professors at the front of the great hall. Anyone else would think the smile he gave her was just a twitch of his mouth but she knew better and could tell he was smiling at her.

Good morning? That's what he says to me after last night. Good morning. Augh.

She swiveled round realising she was still standing looking up as if he was still there. She caught sight of professor dumbledor who seemed to be looking at her with an odd expression. He almost looked concerned or like he had been thinking too hard and had a headache.

She sat down at the Gryffindor table which only had a few people scattered about on it. Sitting in the middle on the table on her own she began to eat her breakfast. She glanced over at snape and saw he was looking at her as well but looked away once she met his gaze.

This happened too many times to mention in only the space of ten minuetes. She noticed a sudden movement in the corner of her eye, it was snape leaving the professors table. He walked down the isle inbetween Gryffindor and Slytherin.

He was walking towards her looking straight in front of him. She wanted him to glance down at her or give her some kind of communication but he didn't. He just walked straight past her and headed towards the arch.

She followed him with her eyes all the way to the arch where he stopped for a brief second and tuned back to look at Louvaine before walking briskly away.

He looked at me. He looked at ME. Is that some kind of sign he wants to speak? God I i wish he'd just blurt it all out to me so i knew how he felt. Oh i want so badly to know how he feels!

Louvaine quickly noticed she had finished her breakfast, she then realised she had no idea what she had just been eating because she was far too busy staring at Snape!

Really I need to get a grip on this! Pay attention to life Louvaine. Pay attention. You need to be careful or you could get Snape into trouble and thats the last thing I want!

Still looking down at her plate deep in thought she did'nt even realise her friends walk in...

"Louvaine, how are you? Leo's was great! He really wished you were there though." said ruby.

"Yeah Leo was really upset you wern't there! I think he was going to ask you out or something!" Informed Lavender.

"Oh, really? " Louvaine replied bluntly, really not caring about what Leo had or hadn't wanted to do.

"So how was detention was Snape? He's such an idiot for giving you detention. What a looser!" Bellowed Ruby.

A wave of anger came over Louvaine. She clutched her hands tightly into a fist and tried to keep calm.

"Yeah what an idiot!" Joined lavender.

An idiot. How could they call my snape an idiot. How dare they! They don't even know him. Augh I can't stand them.

"Oh it was fine i guess, hey guys i hope you dont mind but Iv got some homework to do that's due in on Monday so I'm going to go and start that. I'll catch up with you guys later and say sorry to Leo again from me!" She said and hurried off before they could get a word in. She turned her head and smiled at them as she left.

Louvaine really could'nt care less about Leo or her friends silly chatter and gossip she had much more important things on her mind.

Walking mindlessly through the corridors packed full with people making their way to breakfast she didn't even realise she has ended up outside Snapes classroom.

Oh god. Do I go in? I dont know if he wants to talk to me again after...well, what happend.

Before she could decide against it she heard three loud knocks of the classroom door and soon realised it was her knocking on the door.

Snape heard the three knocks on the door and the first thing he wondered was if it was Louvaine.

Is that her? Did she get that i wanted to speak by my signals at breakfast...I doubt it. Probably just some Ravenclaw wanting to know their exam grade.

"Come in" He groaned.

He was looking at the paper he had been marking for last twenty minutes until he heard her voice.

"Professor?" she said in her quietest voice. His head shot up from the paper and shot straight to Louvaine.

She's hear.

She almost jumped at speed his head moved.

"Professor, do we need to talk...?" She questioned with a hint of knowing behind her question.

"Yes, Yes Louvaine we do...that is, if your okay with it?" He added the last part as he wasn't sure how comfortable she felt in his presence after he had...well, let whatever happen last night happen.

"Yes professor, Id like to talk." she replied, happy that he was concerned and obviously didn't want her to feel uncomftable.

How could I feel uncomfortable around you? You're the only person I feel complete and completely me around.

She wanted to tell him this so badly but wasn't sure how he'd take it or if it would make him uncomftable.

" Louvaine, I think it's best we talk in my office away from wondering ears that may lurk around the classroom." he said softly.

He smiled at her reassuringly. She smiled back...and followed him to his office. It was just how she had imagined. Green tiles and black furniture. There was a desk in the corner, dark brown oak and a large black chair behind it. And in front of her against the wall was a black velvet sofa.

He sat down on the sofa. "sit" he told her more aking her than telling her.

"So where do we begin...?" He said questioning himself more than her...

Snape had never felt so unsure of himself, yes it felt completely right around Louvaine. It felt oddly right but he felt nervous around her as he wasn't sure he would be able to control his desires around her.

He thought he had it all clear in his mind. He had planned to tell her what happened was a mistake and it never should have happened but as he sat inches away from him he could feel nothing but aching to feel her touch.

Frozen by desire he felt the only thing he could do was to sit and drown in her deep green eyes staring back at him. He searched in her eyes for any awnsers he could find but he could only see his own desire.

She felt so so safe with him only inches away. She wished desperatley she didn't have to leave. She wished he'd never want to leave.

Neither of them spoke but only stared longingly into each others eyes. Minutes had passed and Louvaines chest felt tighter and tighter with every passing second. she longed for him so much. She felt connected to him, she saw the pain and hurt in his eyes and wished she knew what had made him so desperately hurt.

As he looked into her eyes he could see true pain and unhappiness. It filled him with pain, it felt as if fire shot through his vains. How he wished he knew her troubles.

"Louvaine, may i ask you something?" he said slowly and carefully, his voice low and rough.

"Yes professor, anything." She replied.

"What caused you to cry yesterday? Your tears...I-I..." He couldn't Finnish his sentence remembering how he could feel her pain it almost brought him to tears.

She knew he'd ask her...she didn't want to answer him. She wanted desperately for him to know as she knew he'd understand but she couldn't find the words to tell him. She felt so weak and feeble as if she'd break at the slit-est movement. She had to tell him, her body yearned for some kind of release from the pain it had been bearing for too long.

"Professor...I-I" She felt as if she was breaking inside.

She closed her eyes slowly wishing the pain to stop and be replaced by courage.

I can do this. He'll understand. I'm Strong now.

Louvaine stood up from the sofa and moved directly in front of snape. He remained sitting. She thought he looked so powerful and stronge in the way he sat so elegantly looking up at her.

She looked down at him to hold his gaze...a single tear dropped from her eye and trickled delicatly over her cheek.

She slowly moved her hand to her left hip. Using her right hand she slowly pulled her purple jumper softly up and over her waist just stopping on her rib.

His eyes followed her movment. He swollowed hard as her left hand moved slow towards her hip...

She gently pulled the left side of her jeans down just below her hip and stared weakly at him.

He was staring at her hip, his eyes became hazy and his vision blurred he couldn't believe it. He didn't want to. His bottom lip trembled, his heart felt as if it had shattered into hundreds of glass shards cutting him inside. He stood up slowly and moved to stand closely in front of her.

Still looking at her hip, he brought up his right hand and placed it on her hip. She breathed in sharply at his tought. He lightly traced the lines that scarred her delicate skin.

As he looked down at her scars he couldn't help but think they looked beautiful on her. He thought even her scars made her beautiful, a tear fell from his eye and landed on her petite hip. Softly wiping it away he looked at her face; she looked so scared and venerable. All snape wanted was to make her pain stop, to make her feel no more hurt.

"How? Why?" he whispered.

"My...when I was younger. He...my dad used to hurt me. He used to get angry and well, one day. He just lost control, he grabbed his wand and... I couldn't do anything. I-I trusted him and... He hurt me..." She struggled to whisper back.

She felt light headed and dizzy, remebering the pain he had put her through. She hadn't thought of those memories in years. It was so horrible to remember. She felt ill, really ill.

Snape look deep into her eyes... he felt so angry. How could anyone do this to her?

I'll kill him! Her own dad, how could he? I'll kill him!

He noticed her face had suddenly gone a ghostly shade of white and her eyes unfocused. Before he could tell her to sit down she collapsed into his arms.

Her face pale and a slight sweat on her brow. She was limp in his arms, still unconscious. He felt sudden panic and desperation. He laid her gently on the floor and ran to his draw of potions. He couldn't think straight.

What can i give her? Serverus focus.

He thought desperately...Concious Awakus. He summoned the potion and ran to her lifeless body. Propping her head on his thigh he poured the potions into her mouth. He knew it would take some time for the potion to work and scooped her body into his arms and carried her to his bed chamber.

He layed her on his bed gently and watched her. Her face was still...Lifeless. It was physically painful for him to see her like this. He bent down and kissed her hand, he sat in a chair next to his bed just watching her constantly. He didn't want to take his eyes of her, he felt he couldn't physically look away even if had wanted to.

It had been over an hour and she still hadn't moved an inch. The worry in his eyes grew deeper and his stare upon her face more intense.

"Severus" her frail voice whispered...
