-Lidea's POV-

My mind didn't realize what was happening until a few seconds passed. After that my emotions took over. My arms wrapped around his neck as the warmth on my cheeks spread. Slowly and carefully, his hands went to my waist as we parted. He leaned his forehead on mine, allowing us both to catch our breath. His eyes were closed, almost as if afraid to open them, and honestly, I was afraid of what would happen when he looked at me.

Severus opened his eyes slowly and looked into mine. "You look beautiful." He said, sighing slightly in relief. I chuckle lightly. "Well, hello to you to." I reply with a smile. He smiles and chuckles with me. "Sorry if I caught you off guard." He apologized quietly, his thumbs rubbing my hips. I kiss him softly. "I don't mind." I reassure him. My fingers tangle themselves in his hair as he stands there looking at me. He looked unsure of what to do next.

"If you're wondering, no. I don't know what happens after this. I usually wake up after you kiss me." I said with a mischievous smile. He looks at me in confusion then slowly realizes what I meant. "I-I'm sorry about that… I really am… It's just… I was worried something had happened, the way you were acting and… and…" He trailed off in a panic. "It's fine, don't worry about it." I replied calmly. He looked up at me unconvinced. I leaned into him, inching my face to his. "Please… Kiss me again." I pleaded, closing my eyes.

I felt him hesitate first, and then his lips pressed against mine. This time he wasn't as aggressive. One of his hands slid up my back and to the back of my head, his fingers tangling in my hair. I felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip, looking for an opening. I parted my lips for him and allowed his tongue to enter. Had to admit, the man was a good kisser. His tongue grazed every possible place it could find, gaining a muted moan from me. I then forced my way into his mouth, wanting to provide him with the same sensation.

We parted again for air, breathing heavily. "I love you, Lidea…" He gasped. I definitely wasn't expecting that. I just wouldn't believe my ears. This shit has happened to me before, usually because alcohol was involved. "What?" I asked, not letting the disbelieving tone entering my voice. He kissed me again. "Lidea, I love you." He repeated, looking deep into my eyes.

.:THE NEXT DAY:.

Last night was without a doubt an experience. I didn't expect Severs to act like last night had happened. I did my best to remind myself that he was probably under the influence somehow, so that I didn't disappoint myself later on. I could hear the "Sorry if I did anything stupid last night, I was drunk" speech, saying how he didn't mean what he did or said.

Several periods went by, and I think even my students could tell that I wasn't in my usual mood. Poor kids looked as though if they said anything wrong I would blow up. I gave a simple potion for them to concoct to keep them occupied and kept myself busy with paperwork. The consistent volume of talking filled the room, which seemed to calm me as I focused on the papers.

This time, when the talking ceased, I knew exactly why. I didn't want to look up; I wanted to convince myself that it wasn't him and that it was just Dumbledore, hence the silence. But because of my accursed manners, I acknowledged his presence. As soon as he spoke, I regretted looking up. "May I talk with you? It will only take a moment." Severus asked. I already know what you're bloody going to say dammit! "Of course." I replied, standing from my desk and following him out my door.

He held the door open for me then closed it carefully after I walked through. I felt as though I was going to throw up. All I wanted to do was get this done and over with. "Let me guess…" I started, worn out by the day of dreading this talk. "… You want to talk to me about last night…" I finished, putting my hands on my hips and bracing myself for what was going to come next. "Yes…" He replied, a bit taken off guard. I sigh. "Go on, lay it on me. What altered you actions?" I asked, hoping to skip the whole "I hope this didn't change anything" bit. He looked confused at what I had said and looked as though he didn't know how to respond. "What are you talking about? I was completely fine. I was well aware of my actions…" He started, stepping closer to me.

That was unexpected. "… I wanted that to happen…" He continued, his hand lightly taking mine. "… I just wasn't sure how you felt about last night, that's what I came to talk to you about." He finished, his thumb rubbing my hand, taking another step closer to me. I felt my cheeks burn and I just knew my hair was going to change, what with how much this surprised me.

"I… I'm sorry… It's just that it's happened to me so many times… I just assumed…" I started, trying to apologize for my actions. "That I didn't care?" he finished. I nodded, my eyes beginning to sting. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me. "Lidea I would never do such a cruel thing to you." He replied, stroking my hair. He kissed my forehead and allowed me to calm myself.

"So, if you don't mind, I would like to know if you have mutual feelings." He said, releasing me. I nodded slowly. "I do…" I rose up to my toes and kissed him. "I love you Severus." I replied, then turned and opened my door. "I'll see you at the next tournament." I said, before closing the door. My students all immediately turned back to their cauldrons the moment I turned and headed to my desk. Some smiled at me, and some looked at me with confusion. Either way, I knew things wouldn't be the same.
