(silver)Gregory the Smarmy; Prompts: Alert, Flattering, Smarmy, Potion
Many of her friends asked Rolanda how she could be in a relationship with Severus Snape, of all people, when she, as a resigned professional Quidditch star, could have had any other men she wanted. They did not find Severus fitting to a person like Rolanda.
Maybe because he always had a repellent attitude and hated to socialize with people as much as he hated people at all.
But Rolanda simply did not care what they were saying. She saw the person behind the mask, and to her it meant everything that he was letting her inside.
Rolanda loved how Severus was not as smarmy as other men, and that he was able to make a sarcastic remark sound flattering. Many people simply found him odd and unfriendly, but she could not help but like him for being different, even though she was not fond of his behaviour towards the students. Seeing them jumping into a state of alert as soon as they saw the Potions Master made her feel angry sometimes.
But what she loved the most about Severus was that she was feeling at home in his arms. As soon as he pulled her into a embrace, she forgot all her worries and the thoughts that were weighing down her shoulders. The warmth of his body and his scent were calming her down, and no matter how bad she felt, she was happy for a small moment of time.
It also did not matter where they were – as long as Rolanda had Severus with her, she was at home.
Because he was her home.
