Chapter 3-Mixed Feelings
As I walked along the corridor up to the Hospital Wing, Raie was diverted into my thoughts. Why could I not get that child out of my head? That's exactly what she is, a child. How I could ever think of the girl as a lover to me, I did not know. How could she ever find me attractive? I am obviously not a sane 40 year old man.
Yet, I thought, quickening my pace, what are the odds of her visiting me, the one I truly have feelings for? Did she really come for homework, or to vistit me? No, I thought, shaking my head, she probably has feelings for Harry, they seem to have a past together. But what was it about her? Her cold grey eyes? Or her tight, ringleted curls? I still could not sort out my feelings for her.
Madame Pomfrey came out of the hospital wing door so quickly it startled me.
"Oh dear, Severus, I'm sorry," she apologized quickly.
"That's all right Poppy, what's wrong,"I asked, seeing she looked extremely anxious.
"Oh, well, one of the first year Gryffindors got terribly sick in their dorm." She said, looking quick to get rid of me.
Had she said "Gryffindor" though? No, she had, but I knew it would be a chance to catch another glimpse of Raie, and the thought of seeing her again made my insides squirm.
"Poppy, do you need any help?" I asked, feeling my pulse quicken.
"I thought you would never ask, I'd love help," she said, looking much more happy.
She walked past me, and headed toward the Gryffindor tower.
The thought of seeing her, Raie, again, made me feel young again*. But I still needed to sort out my emotions. She was so young, and I, old enough to be her father. But, there was something about her…
Poppy was almost running as the Fat Lady came into view. Professor Dumbledor was casually walking toward the portrait from the opposite direction. As my eyes fell on who was walking next to him, I suddenly lost all saneness. But I recovered quickly. Raie was walking next to Dumbledore, who was blabbering on.
"Ah, Poppy, Severus," Dumbledore's voice boomed.
I saw Raie look up from staring at the ground. Her face was still tear stained, and I felt a ping of guilt.
"Some student got ill, in the dorm,"Poppy said, looking terribly annoyed.
"Very well, lets check this out,"Dumbledore said, turning toward the Fat Lady, who instantly straighted up.
"Password?"she said, with that annoying giggle of hers.
"Flancy Oogle," Dumbledore said, and the Fat Lady swung open.
Dumbledore entered first, with Poppy at his heels.
As I started to enter, the Fat Lady swung closed
"Severus," she growled.
"What?" I sneered back.
"Youre not a Gryffindor,"she snarled at me.
I felt Raie watching me, I was hoping she'd say something.
"And?" I asked, thoroughly angry at the portrait.
"You cannot enter," she said, and close her eyes.
"And what am I supposed to do, wait here until they come back?" I snarled, yelling into her ear.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," she answered, and suddenly disappeared. I heard Raie gasp.
"Well, this is just great,"she said, and I watched as she sait down.
"So, about that homework," I said, leaning on the opposite wall.
She looked up at me and smirked, which I thought made her look attractive.
"Uh, Dumbledore explained it to me," she answered. I saw her face turn pink.
"You didn't really need help, did you?"
I could not believe I had just said that. What made me say that? I knew she had come for help, yet, it worked it's way out of my mouth.
Her face was incredibly red. But still, she said nothing. All she did was bury her face in her lap.
As minutes passed, I recognized she was sleeping. I hope I hadn't bored her.
Atlast, 20 minutes later, Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey came out, dragging Andrew Noahslen, a mischevious first year who had vomit around his mouth.
"Goodnight Severus,"Dumbledore called over his shoulder.
"Goodnight sir,"I called back.
Neither of them took notice of Raie asleep by the portrait. The Fat Lady had not yet returned. I knew I could not leave her there, surely Peeves would come along and disturb her. But I felt extremely uncomfortable taking her back to the dungeons. I made up my mind, to give her the couch, and I could lock myself in my bedroom.
I picked up Raie, who, to my surprise was incredibly light.
I could see on her robes where the vile's substance had scorched it. As her hair fell out of her face, I could see it was flushed, and tear-stained. The walk to the dungeons seemed to take forever. Once, I thought she was going to wake, for she stirred and her eyes flickered.
I finally made it to the dungeon door, and successfully pulled out my wand and tapped the knob of the door.
I whispered "Lumos*" and found my way to the couch. I set Raie down on it gently and went to find a blanket.
I took my time choosing the blanket for her. I chose the warmest and most comfortable.
I headed back to the couch, where Raie slept soundly. I tucked her in, and almost taking all my courage, gave her a kiss on the cheek, which was incredibly soft. I took one last look at her, and headed for bed.
As I settled into bed, I knew I'd sleep better, knowing she was in the room next to me.
And it would be so much easier if I knew how to add chapters…maybe SOMEONE could tell me how to…*hint hint*
