So I'm back with a new chapter lol XD. I know it's been about a month since I updated. But college gets in the way of things and that's how life goes. Anyways this chapter is more of a cheese fest with Nothlit. I tried not to be as over dramatic with it I hope it didn't really come out as over the top. Again I do put humor into this as well. I didn't really expect many people to like this fic as much. I mean The Bet wasn't something to be taken seriously. I am truly happy that people really liked it though :D So thank you so much for the reviews. Also don't worry just because Denise is with Snape doesn't mean the mockery will stop if anything quite the opposite in fact lol. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter and if I don't update the next chapter tomorrow or Saturday assume I'll post it some time along the month or next month XD. Again thank you and review. ^w^.

A Heart to Heart

It was funny the whole day gone on with out a hitch. It was like I had felt something lifted off my shoulders. Class came and we acted as if nothing happened. Nothlit though being the oh-so-observant person knew well that Snape and I had something else other than mutual feelings towards each other. Nothlit looked towards me and asked "So you tapped that didn't you?"

My hand with out missing a beat smacked her upside her head and I said "Could you be any louder with that question."

She replied smartly "I could."

Right when she was about to ask louder I kicked her shin and she yelped. Snape looked turned around instantly and I said "Nothlit just hit her shin she'll be fine."

Nothlit glared at me and I chuckled. Whispering my retort to her glare "Serves you right."

When class was over though, Nothlit didn't miss a beat to ask "So did you?"

I rolled my eyes and replied "So what if I did."

Nothlit then pushed me into a corner and spat out "Details."

I sighed and said "Ummm Nothlit that isn't really something I want blurt out."

Nothlit asked "Was he that clumsy?"

My eyes popped out of my head and I said "For god sakes Nothlit"

She persisted "Was he?"

I brought down my head in defeat turning three different shades of red and answered "No he wasn't."

Nothlit raised an eyebrow and said "Awh the blunt Deni shying away because she was deflowered."

My eyes softened, I looked up at Nothlit and smiled "In some cases it is better that I keep my mouth shut. I rather not share it because well it was our intimate moment. That and telling you would be a faulty mistake on my part."

She laughed and said "So he is worth keeping your mouth shut over."

I nodded and said "And so much more."

Nothlit said "There's the Denise I know."

I replied "What I just said he's worth more than keeping my mouth shut. I didn't add explicit detail to it."

Nothlit asked "So why so rigid then?"

I replied quickly "I'm sore."

She laughed extremely loud then. Her echo could be heard through out the hallway. I shook my head and said "You see that's why I didn't want to tell you. You always seem to over do on the funniness of the situation."

Nothlit composed herself then and said "You really do like him don't you."

I sighed and said "Nothlit I think it is safe to say that I can actually say the word love without having to fear my emotions. So Nothlit yes I like Snape. I love him."

Nothlit then showed her fear with my words. "You're as serious as a heart attack Denise. But maybe you're just kind of disillusioned because he was you're first."

I looked her dead in the eye and said "Funny how you would question this now. Of all the people it was you're fault that I got into this mess to begin with. I wouldn't have gotten into detention. My feelings for him would have been restricted. I wouldn't have had that once dance with him that led me to feel like this towards him."

Nothlit asked in a somber tone "You honestly feel that way."

I sighed and said "You shouldn't have passed judgment on me like this. I actually thought you would understand of all people. He's not who you make him out to be either."

Nothlit said "I'm willing to listen."

I replied "He's not an asshole without purpose. He has a lot of serious shit going on in his head. He is just as normal as all of us. I mean he has his faults. I'm willing to acknowledge that. It's just he needs to be given a lot more credit than what he gets. There isn't a single bad bone in his body. He's just misguided."

Nothlit asked "Do you care to elaborate more on that?"

I answered "I'm not one to speak about his personal issues but he's not as fucked up in the head as you think. He's just very…melacholious."

Nothlit replied "That's not even a word Deni."

I retorted "Well you know what I mean."

She nodded and said "Fine. I understand what you mean but promise me if he does hurt you that I can go ahead and whoop his ass."

I laughed and said "Nothlit of all things I really doubt you can kick Snape's ass. I mean he is the potions professor, a bad ass in dark arts, and did I mention he worked for the Dark Lord and works for Dumbledore."

Nothlit answered "Yes he does have quite the resume Deni as well as other talents that can only be vouched by your mouth. But he lacks one that I over rule him in"

I looked at Nothlit and replied "If you turn this into a friendship speech I'm seriously going to punch you."

Nothlit said "Well you turned this into a heart to heart and I thought closing it with a little cheese would seal the deal."

I let out a sigh, shaking my head and went on to saying "Oh Nothlit. What will I do without you?"

Nothlit answered quickly "Well according to your statement just a couple of minutes ago, You would be a prude, contemplating whether or not you should make a move on Snape, not trying to get yourself into the dark side even though you are indeed a Slytherin, and you would be too much of a good to shoes."

I shook my head yet again and asked "Is that all?"

Nothlit said "Oh there's more but I'm saving those for later you know when it's necessary to use them."

I then starting walking towards the common rooms for Slytherin, Nothlit asked "Where are you going?"

I answered with a smirk "Where else would I be going at the moment?"

Nothlit replied with "He still wants you to go to detention even after this whole mess? Damn he's rough."

And my last words to Nothlit "If you only knew."

Nothlit's last words were "I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT!"
