Believe In Me


The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

Chapter Three: Can't Hate You Part 2

Serverus Snape...1977

6th Year in Hogwarts

Serverus Snape didn't know what he just done. Really, he feels like the lowest of the rats he knew and that's saying much. He still kneel on one of his knees, not allowing himself to shown a once of cowardliness or weakness to the one who steady staring at him with snake like eyes. He could feel him just outside of his head, hitting on the walls to get inside to read him....to break him. "Serverusss" He hisses. "Yes Mi lord." Serverus answered. His head bow by the heels of Voldemort's feet, that just within sight to him.

A few more seconds passed before he spoke once again. The hair on Serverus neck stood from its place, but yet still Serverus remains calm than he ever had. "Serverusss I have one more task to prove your loyalty to me." and then at last Voldemort finally found a opening in Serverus mind and at once Serverus mind went shattered before his eyes. He watches memories of him at Hogwarts hanging around Lucius before he left from school. Memories of being bullied of James Potter and Sirius Black, the memory of him crudely hanging around the foolish Hufflepuff girl and then the memory of him talking to Dumbledore about what happened to his mother.

He want it to stop, he wanted Voldemort to get out of his mind now. 'Stop!" He screeched. More memories of his childhood flew and he could see his father yelling, snapping at him and then his mother. 'Please!"He plead, sweat went down his forehead and he went even more pale. He felt fear that is slowly inching closer to him than necessary. Serverus felt a slight pull and he knew that he was out of his mind at last. Away from his memories of his wrenched childhood. He felt violated.

He leaned downward on his knees heavy breathing for a few moments.

A grin and half a smirk reached his face,

"Your task will be to bring me that Hufflepuff girl to me." He hisses to Serverus.

The Death Eaters who had witness this started to laughed to themselves that Serverus being socal to a mere Hufflepuff. Serverus, in no state of refuses this task, nodded his head. "Yes mi lord." He said bowing, kissing the heels of Voldemort feet.

"Now go and don't you disappoint me Serverusss, I don't reward failuresss."


Serverus was afraid beyond reasoning. His whole body shook in fear when he is out of Voldemort's sight. He knew that he have to bring the Hufflepuff girl to him. Bile went through his stomach and he felt like vomiting. Should he tell Dumbledore about this? No. He don't want a one way ticket to Azkaban.

He need to be in Voldemort good graces. He continure to think this over, walking down the Hogwarts halls by the Charm's class, towards the secret passage to the Dungeons, that he knew. His Slytherin robes were dirty at it is and he was determined to get out of the halls before he met one of those Gryffindor idiots, like Frank Longbottom, Sirius Black and James Potter.

He ignored all of his classes today, he doubt that anyone would notice him missing anyway. He could easy told the professors that he was sick and can't attend classes. Hell why not? He certainly got the look for the part. He passed the Charm's classroom. It was mostly empty, except Flitwick and a Hufflepuff girl.

The same girl that he is suppose to bring to the Dark Lord too. He stopped in his tracks and stared at her. He heard the very dark voice telling him whats is he waiting for? Get her, but he couldn't let himself move from his spot. Laura Wells, bid the Charms Professor farewell for the day and headed her way out of the classroom, parchment were in her arms as well is her wand. Her black hair looked out of place and her eyes were looking a bit stressed, but it went away when she caught sight of Serverus. She smiled brightly at him.

"Hello Serverus, are you feeling alright now? I didn't see you in class today." She said, worry is in her voice and he blinked at her before he glare. "Yes I'm fine." He sneered at her way, snapping out of the trance he was in. "You should go get some rest Serverus instead of walking around." She said sternly. "When I need a mother I make sure to call you Wells." Serverus snapped at the black head, who just frown at him. Her eyes dropped from any sight of happiness and she looked like she was going to cry. Serverus felt a little guilty for snapping at her like that, key word little and he will not telling her sorry about it either.

She took a few steps closer to him and he took a few back and flinched.

"Your pale." She whispered and as his luck someone put an arm around Laura shoulder and she gave her attention to the said person, and Serverus could take this time to slip out of sight.

"There you are Laura, I been looking all over the place for you." said a friendly voice of Scott Evans. Laura flushed. "Well as you can see I'm in Charms the entire time like you should be in now." She said.

Serverus almost gagged to himself at the sight of their display of affection in public.

"oh right, hey let go back to the tower." Scott said suggesting something, in which Laura slapped him playful behind his head for.

"ow."

"Scott Evans, your such a pervert." Laura screeched at her best friend.

Laura and Scott been best friends like forever.

"and anyway I have plans." She said suddenly.

"and that is Laura flower?" Scott asks surprised at her sudden plans.

"I going with Serverus." She said proudly, running behind Serverus and he gave her one of those what the hell looks. Scott finally notice Serverus, eyes narrowed ten times folds. "Snake." He said darkly.

"Idiot." Serverus replied back with more venem than he could master. He can't stand stuck up Gryffindors like him.

"what did you say greesy git?"

"Want me to spell it out to you Evans? Are you that stupid?!" Serverus hisses at the poor Gryffindor boy. Scott, face red from embarrassment bit back his tongue from what he could of said to him when Laura isn't here.

"Scott, stop it at once. You know that I could hang out with anyone I wanted." Laura snapped, behind of Snape's back. One thing Hufflepuff lacks. Is courage.

Scott green eyes shown hurt at her words.

"but Laura, he's a Slytherin." He tried to reason with her.

"and I'm a Hufflepuff, so leave us alone." Laura snapped once more. Her face red from anger and Serverus found himself having a major head ache that he had from awhile.

Without thinking much, Serverus grabbed Laura arm and dragged her to the picture of a old man. He heard Scott screaming at him to let her go, but he didn't listen.

Laura looked confuse at his actions, but she didn't make any movement to jerk away from his hold. Really, she wanted him to continue holding her like this for some time. Parchment was forgotten, and fall from her arms. The picture of the old man slided to the side, revealing a secret passage.

"Follow me I want to show you something," Serverus muttered under his breath.

They both stepped inside the passage and the picture slid shut, making anything turned dark. No light anywhere, but Laura aren't afraid. She felt safe with the boy with her at this moment.

"Lumos." She whispered, flicking her wand and the tip of her wand glow brightly.

She could see everything. Serverus a few steps away from her looking like he's fighting something in his mind at this moment. He didn't notice that the path is lit now by Laura. Laura looked around the passage admiring how Serverus knew this was here.

"Serverus?" She whispered again. Her tone of voice more gentle this time. Her anger had cooled down abit if not most. She took a look at his appearance. Most will say that he's the ugliest person that they ever met (if they say that to Serverus's face, they would be dead) but to her he is attractive. Her cheeks turned a little red at the mere thought of being her alone with him.

Serverus looked at her, his mind made up. He didn't let go of her hand, but instead he backed her up against the wall of the passage. Her heart beats faster than normal, she could feel his breath on her neck. "Serverus?" His face were mere inches from hers and then she saw darkness. A loud thug could hear through out the passage, Laura fall into Serverus's waiting arms. Her head hits his chest.

He tucked in his wand into his pocket of his robe.

"Expulso" was the spell he used.


Laura opened her eyes for it seemed like the first time she did for awhile, trying to replay what happened in her head but all she could remember is being so close to Serverus and then blacking out from a blow to the head by something strong. "Mi lord I brought the girl." she heard Serverus voice and she felt betrayal and confusion ran through her nervous system. Her head telling her to looked at the owner of this voice and check her surroundings, but her heart telling her no. She wouldn't like the outcome, but she let her head win for the first time. She felt weak.

Weaker than she could ever been. She felt a sharp pain on her head and she couldn't bring herself to rubbed it for any comfort. Why did Serverus did this? She trusted him.

"Very good, Serverusss" a snake like voice said, and Laura nerves went hay wired at last. She was scared. The voice sent shivers down her spine and all she wanted to do is to run away, far away.

Serverus keeps his head bow.

"Now I want you to fight her. Kill her."

"Pardon me?"

Voldemort eyes narrowed.

"This is your final task before joining my inner circle Serverus." Voldemort hisses.

Serverus was confused. He thought that bringing Laura here was his final task, but he was so wrong. He is so stupid, he should of known what will happened.

"She will fight you and you must kill her to prove your self Serverusss"

"I understand mi lord, but how could she fight when she is passed out?" Serverus said panicking. He didn't want to fight or kill Laura at all. Its enough that he brought her to this awful place.

"obey me at once Serverusss and ssshe isn't want it seems to be."

Some how he knew that Laura is faking being passed out.

"Stand girl" Voldemort ordered.

She could feel many eyes on her well being. She tried to move, but it was too painful. Her head was hurting worse when she got onto her own two feet at last.

"I see you have your wand with you."

True Serverus, had stuffed her wand in her pocket before he left. He could never leave her defenceless. Feeling the edge of the wand in her robe pocket she nodded her head.

A scream broke out through out the room.

"HOW DARE HER! HOW DARE A MUDBLOOD DISRESPECT THE DARK LORD!?"

"Silence Bellatrix." Voldemort hisses.

"but mi lord-"

Voldemort turned his attention to Laura.

"Fight Serverusss"
Even scared as she was, she will not fight a friend, not even if he did betrayed her like he did.

"No." She muttered.

Serverus looked at her in shock. She must know who she just said no too.

"what girl?"

with a stronger voice than before and with the loyalty that had landed her in the house of Hufflepuff in the first place shown brightly, she locked the way her fear the best she could.

"No." She said sternly to the dark lord.

Voldemort looked impressed at this girl before him and then finally anger went through his body. His wand pointed at Laura, he hisses-

"You will obey me witch! Crucio!"

Laura felt pain went through out her body, and she dropped to her knees weakly. Laura begin to scream loudly through out the rooms of the Riddle House. She screeched and she realize that her mind is begging for him to stop.

No! She will not break!Voldemort raises his wand, and Serverus watched in terror. The pain left Laura's body and she was left gasping for air on her knees.

"Now sssstand and fight Ssseverus witch." He hisses once more.

"I-I said no!" Laura screeched out.

Just fight me,Serverus said fearful at the suffering Laura been through. Wait, why should he care?

"Stubborn mudblood- Cruico! Cruico!"

The pain went through Laura's body once more, but this time worse. She begin to screamed once more balling herself up in pain on the cold floor, tears ran down her blue eyes. Her mind screams - let it stop! let it stop! I do anything!

I will not break, I will not break

Laura begin to chant in her head painful. 'Just give up!'

One of the Death Eater, mainly Lucius stepped forward. On how much he loved seeing Laura being tortured he knew this wouldn't get no where.

"Mi lord may I suggest using the Imperius Curse on the stubborn mudblood." Lucius suggested. Voldemort raises his wand once more and the intense pain stopped for a few moments and she knew whats going to happen next. Her body and mind finally broken and no hope, she looked up at Serverus she mouthed painfully- "Please help me Severus...Please!"

Serverus felt extremely guilty, his heart torn in two. He caused this pain for her and she had refused countless times to fight him for his sake. She was truly his friend and she must truly loves him.

'Foolish Hufflepuffs.'

"Good idea, Luciuss," Voldemort hisses. He turned his attention to the painful weak Laura and with a flick of his wand he hisses out-

"Imperio!"

Laura mind begin to blank. She watched as she pulls out her wand and stood up in a few minutes/

Kill him, he deserves it. He betrayed your trust.

Laura heard a cold snake like voice in her, tears going down her blue eyes she raises her wand at Serverus uncontrolled. She don't want to kill him or fight him. Serverus pulled his wand in front of him. Of all the cheap tricks, Voldemort pulled this is the worse. He was ready to cast a protection spell at anytime now. He knew that she wouldn't be able to fight him for long.

No

He's been lying about what he is to you!? you would just let him get away from that? Hexed him to his early grave girl!

Oh no please god no-

I'm sorry, was all Laura wanted to scream out at Serverus at this moment. Tears went down her eyes faster and harder now.

"Expulso!" Laura shouted.

Her eyes were dull from any sight of the girl Serverus knew. A flash of red flew out of Laura's wand and straight towards him.

"Protego!"Serverus shouted, he blocked the hexed without much effort, he could heard the dark lord laughter through out the room along with out laughter.

What are you waiting for girl? Kill him for real this time! If he live he will do the same to your family? Do you want that girl? Do you want your parents to die because of that git!

Lies! Don't believe him...SERVERUS! NO!

"Mobilicorpus!" Laura could hear her voice shouted and Serverus didn't bother to blocked. He was lifted from the ground from where he stood, he crunched his wand tighter than normal. Then he heard Laura cries of help in his head once again.

"Please help me Severus...Please!"

Serverus himself hold back his tears that is threaten to fall, this was not his character to cry at. He felt and saw Laura's inner pain.

Kill me Serverus, before I kill you!

I'm sorry, Laura....I didn't mean for this to happen. Serverus thought and with one flick of his wand in the air and in a tone of voice filled with regret.

"Sectumsempra!"

All Laura could see is darkness once again and more pain.


Present Time

Jade took the potion that Professor Snape had made for her without much of a fight. Professor Snape didn't even spoke to her once he handed her the potion for her to take and wait for her to finish. "Thank you Professor." Jade muttered, handing him the vital. He took the vital from her hands and remained silent. The silence is killing Jade more than anyone know. Laura and Blake went to bed 20 minutes ago after Jade put herself together and promised them that she would be alright now.

Professor Snape walked toward the door, leaving but not with out seeing Jade giving him a small smile and telling him-"Goodnight Professor." This reminding him much of her mother he answered back.

"Goodnight ." He said, and this time not in his famous sneer.

- The first day of school is stressful! I have 3 projects already and 7 tests on Friday already, and French is hard! X-X I don't know if I could make it. Thats why the chapter is longer. I just wrote much more when I'm stressed. Now the story of Serverus had betrayed Laura is clear now and faked her death to correct his wrong mistake. Sorry if Serverus is OOC. lol.

Anyway I don't know why, but I like writing Laura much more than writing Jade. lmao! Laura is my all time favorite character that I made up now and Jade is my close second. :] Its interesting that Laura is just a Hufflepuff too. I'm sad of her fate. Death and unreturned love. All she got was his friendship at the end, and barely that. My least character that I writing about is Scott. LOL sorry! I suppose to mention him, but I just put him in there.

anyway this is going to be a slow Jade/Serverus pairing story :D

When I finish this story, I'm rewriting it ok.

This is unbeta.

Thanks for reading this so far :D

I do not own Harry Potter or the song lyrics that is being used in here. I just own the plot and my ocs.
