I know I don't normally publish so many chapters in one night, but I'm feeling inspired lol. Well, on to the story.
Kittiara made her way up to Minerva's private rooms for afternoon tea as was tradition on fridays. she had taken her potion moments before as she had forgotten that morning after waking up in Severus's bed. She wasn't sure if this is one of those things she should keep to herself or not. She knew Minerva meant well and only wanted to protect her. She also knew though, that Minerva would not approve of last nights actions or any future ones she was more than likely to partake in. Yes, the man was dark, almost pitch black dark, but he also had a loving side to him, a human one. Maybe, with a little luck, she could kill the dark inside of him. She was banking on it.
Knocking on the door to Minerva's private quarters, she realised she had to make a choice and quickly. Minerva answered the door with a smile as she gestured her inside. Minerva closed the door behind her. There was two cups of steaming chamomile tea sitting on the coffee table. Minerva and Kitty sat quietly in the armchairs beside one another.
Kitty took a sip of tea before minerva's next sentence made her drop her teacup as it shattered on the cobblestone floor. "I know you are hanging around Severus." And the cup shatters. "Don't act surprised. The way you two converse and look at each other. The way he waits for you to enter for meals."
"But that doesn't mean..." Minerva began picking up the cup as she scolded her.
"Yes, yes it does. And if this teacup is of any indication, you feel for him or at least you think you do. I am only going to warn you once, STAY AWAY FROM HIM. He will break your heart into a thousand pieces over and over again. He can only bring you pain my dear. remember that." The cat was clearly out of the bag... at least she didn't know she slept with him yet.
"don't i have a right to love and to be happy?" kitty tried to rationalize with Minerva.
"Yes, but not with him." Kitty was furious. How could she of all people be able to dictate happiness. she was an old spinster who turns into a cat. What does she know of love? Kitty stormed off and out the door. "Wait..." Minerva called after her, but she kept going. She wasn't going to look back, even though she could hear minerva's heels clicking on the hard floor behind her. what a sight it must me, to have Minerva desperately calling after another professor and running after them. haha, a sight indeed.
She marched her way right up to Severus's office and rapped on the door and just as Minerva rounded on her and caught up, the door opened to a very confused Severus Snape. "What brings you here Kitty?" Kitty turned and pointed her finger at Minerva.
"That woman is telling me to stay away from you... that I am not allowed happiness with you. That you will break my heart a thousand times over and I will find nothing but hurt with you. Is that true?" Kitty was almost in tears now. Severus looked angry and taken back at the same time. He assured Kitty behind him and into his office and slammed the door in Minerva's face. It killed Kitty to have to choose, but the choice was clear. Severus may be the hard choice, but he would protect her when it mattered. She knew it would be painful, and yes Minerva may be right, but she should be able to find out herself.
Severus steared her carefully to the couch, making sure she didn't bruise. He sat beside her while minerva was still beating on the door trying to get in, shouting profanity directed towards Severus, but he paid no mind. "I won't lie to you, A life with me will be hard. It may very well lead to heartbreak and agony, but I will do my best to be my best for you." This seemed to comfort Kitty a little bit. That was what she thought when she woke up next to him. She couldn't remember what exactly got into her, but it did and she made a mistake. She could either accept it or try and make the best of it. she chose option two.
She chose last minute to give herself to this man, so she shouldn't have any regrets trying to be with him. He had a glimmer of humanity in him and she had seen it on countless occasions. She was sure that he could have the darkness taken from him. Only love had that kind of power. She would bring the light to his eyes and chase away the darkness. That was her purpose, and she knew it now. She cuddled closer, listening to Minerva's ranting about how she was making a mistake and if Severus harmed her in any way she would hex his balls off.
"I understand what I am getting into. I'm fine with it." Severus smiled. Yes, he actually smiled.
"I hope I didn't hurt you too much last night. I tend to be rough in bed." Kitty laughed.
"You were just fine. And we didn't make it to the bed, remember?" Severus mused for a moment.
"Yes, actually. I vaguely remember a wall involved." They both giggled at this before snuggling on the couch laughing at Minerva's yelling. The world was against them, but they would be together so long as she could help it.
So, I know it's a short chapter, but I need to break it off here. I hope you will review and I will continue writing tomorrow. I can't promise a chapter finished, but I can promise I will work on one.
To be continued...
