Manny and Harry never really talked, but they had been the only upperclassmen to stay at Hogwarts this year. Manny was eating breakfast when Harry threw himself in the seat beside her.
"Look, I know we don't talk, but if I spend another minute with the Creeveys, I'll go bloody insane!" He gasped to her.
"Alright, don't cry, I'm going to the Pitch if you want to join me in a little one on one?" she smiled at his amusing exasperation.
"Oh, thank you, I'll go get my broom and meet you there."
"10 minutes and I start with out you." She called after him.
Harry made it to the pitch in 5, and Manny released the Snitch. "1 point every time you get the snitch, first one to ten wins."
"This will be easy" Harry said flying off.
Denis Creevey watched from the stands while their excellent forms matched each others perfectly. Coming to the wrong conclusion as usual, he scampered off to spread the news of Harry's new girlfriend.
"Your good, and thanks." Harry said as the two walked back to the castle.
"For what?"
"Getting me away from the Creeveys."
"You got some evil in you yet, Potter."
"Yea you wish!" he gave her a little push and took off up the stairs to change.
Manny turned and found Severus glaring at her from the wall. He stood up and turned down the stairs to the dungeons. She followed him into his office.
"What's wrong?" She asked shutting the door.
"Like you don't know."
"I don't, wouldn't have asked if I did."
"Don't play stupid, I saw you."
"And I've seen you a lot, too, still not following you."
"Good workout with Potter? Nice touch with the brooms."
"Oh my God! You think? Me and Potter? Oh fucking Christ! I took pity on him so he wouldn't have to hang with those annoying Creeveys! Jesus! You actually think I could, ewwww! Fucking ew, Severus, ew!"
"You didn't? Because the whole schools talking about the hottest new couple."
"Oh god! Now, I'm scared."
"Like you don't love a good hero." Severus sneered, still not believing.
"Are you insane? I don't like heroes. I like villains. Truly evil, brilliant, dark villains. Not unlike you." She changed her tone from hysterical to loving, moving closer to give him a kiss.
"Whatever you say. I don't sleep with cheaters, we are through." He looked at her, barely containing the rage boiling beneath his heartless exterior. All she could do was stare back for a split second before taking off to her dorm, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Severus sat at his desk, the weight of how wrong he was forcing out his legs. He began calling in favors five minutes later, hoping some lavish presents would get her back in his arms.
Manny lay on her bed, holding back the tears. She had never been more in love than she had been with Severus. But now she was single. She sat up and moved to her closet, pulling out a pair of tight blue jeans and a black and red corset with a matching thong. As she put the clothes on she made a mental list of ways to subtly torment Snape. She laughed when she thought of him as Severus. Severus was dead to her, and Snape would pay for it till his death. She pulled on a pair of black boots, bewitched her hair into a permanently 'messy' bun, and strode out the door with her magical mp3 player screaming American rock music.
