Chapter 7-Confessions
Raie's POV
Ha, Snape must think I am an absolute moran! He must be one himself. It does not take a imbecile to figure out that a girl would not go to the meanest teacher in school for help…
But, of course, I was still wondering why he never woke me up…
"So, why didn't you wake me up?"I said leaning back in the chair, and studying the ceiling.
"One, I didn't want to, you sleep peacefully, and two, I couldn't." he said.
"Ah, you 'couldn't' what do you mean by that?"I said, still studying the ceiling. I found a spider, scurrying across it.
"It's actually a very long story…"he said, and I heard him sigh.
"Fine then, if you don't have enough common sense to answer one's questions, I will," I said, turning to look at him. He raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't need help on homework sir, I came down to see you," I said, and I felt myself overcome with heat.
"Ah," he said.
"Oh thanks, and anyway, if you cant make a confession, youre not worth it," I said, making up my mind to leave.
He stood up, and got in my way. I looked up into his handsome face.
"Sit down," he sneered, and I must have looked surprised, for he smirked.
"Should I?" I said, and I didn't sit down.
He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me into the chair. I took that as I probably should have sat down.
"Alright, I didn't want to wake you up, because…" and he paused, and his pale skin turned crimson.
"Hello?Are you going to tell me or not?"I asked, I really wanted to know, but something told me I already did.
"No,"he answered.
"Ugh!"I said, throwing up my hands, "Now I know why you never got married!Youre as stubborn as a mule! If anyone had affection toward you, you wouldn't know, you push everybody away!"I said, and I held my glare at his surprised face.
But all of a sudden, I knew I shouldn't have said anything.
He got up and walked over to me, and pointed his finger in my face, I was so afraid I didn't know what to do.
"Listen to me, ok? I would have been married, to your mother in fact, if it hadn't been for stupid Sirius Black, he ruined everything for me," Snape's voice was shaky it actually sounded as if he might cry.
"Still, it doesn't matter, you don't recognize love, that is probably the reason why she married Sirius, because she knew he loved her!"I said, and I could feel myself getting mad.
"What do you mean?"he said, sneering at me, his face close to mine.
"You wouldn't even know if someone loved you, I do, and you wouldn't know it, you don't give anyone a chance!"I said, I got up, and pushed him to the side and ran out of the teacher's lounge and down the hall. I don't believe he was following me.
* * * * * *
As I ran past Draco Malfoy, he grabbed my arm and held his grip.
"Running in the halls are we?"he said, staring into my eyes.
I raised my eyebrows.
"I think we should go to my head of house, he'll take away the most points…"he sneered at me.
"What? No, no, Draco!"I said, pulling the other direction.
"I may fancy you, but youre still a Gryffindor,"he said, pulling, with all his strength, back toward the Slytherin dungeons.
Had he just said he fancied me? Oh well, I was thinking too fast, of a way to get lose, to think much of it.
"Professor Snape!!?"Draco yelled, and it echoed through the halls, and Snape was surely to hear.
Crabbe and Goyle came around the corner. I knew that my strength was no match for them.
"Help me Crabbe, Goyle?"Draco said, breathing hard. I was making him tired.
Crabbe came over and grabbed my arm, and dragged me as if I was a rag doll. I couldn't believe that I didn't even have enough strength to fight against him.
"Professor Snape!"yelled Draco.
"Is there a problem Mr. Malfoy?"Snape's voice came.
"I caught a maggot running through the hall," sneered Draco, and Crabbe pulled me harder.
"Which house?"Snape's voice came, once again.
"You're lucky day, sir, a Gryffindor,"Draco yelled.
"Ah, as if I haven't had enough problems with Gryff …" he came around the corner, and paused as he saw me.
"Sir, she was running through the halls," Draco said, with the worst sneer on his face.
"Why am I not surprised?"he said looking at me closely. He rolled his eyes.
"Well, sir, how many points?"Draco said, looking very giddy.
"Oh shut up," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Do you remember what happened last time you told someone to shutup?"Snape sneered at me.
That is when I finally relized, he didn't like me like I liked him…or so I thought then
"Shut up, shut up, shu…"but my voice was muffled because Crabbe had put his hand over my mouth.
I was going to bite it, but I wasn't exactly sure where it had been.
"Oh, let her go, and I will deal with her,"Snape said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes sir,"said Draco, who slapped my cheek as he walked by me.
As I watched them walk away, I felt Snape put his hands on my shoulder.
"You must think I'm predictable," he said quietly.
"Not exactly," I said, watching Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle turn the corner.
Snape came up behind me and put his hands on my waist.
"You must," he said, and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Professor, had you kissed me on my cheek the night I stayed in the dungeons?" I asked him.
"Yes," he mumbled.
"Good," I said, finding myself grinning, "I wasn't dreaming then,"
He let go and turned me around. I almost melted as he looked into my eyes.
"Sir, I hope I didn't get you mad,"I said, and I held myself back from crying.
"No,you didn't, you could never get me mad,"he said, bending over and kissing me on my forehead.
"Severus!" came a worried yell. I knew immediately, it was Professor McGonagall.
Snape stepped back and yelled, "So don't do it again!" He smiled as McGonagall came around the corner.
"Severus, oh, there you are," Professor McGonagall said, resting her arm on his shoulder. I relized only then, how tall Professor Snape was compaired to me.
"What is it Minerva?"Snape said, looking at me, then Professor McGonagall.
She reached over and whispered something in Snape's ear. I caught a few words, such as 'danger' and 'returned' and 'at Hogwarts'.
"Sir, should I leave?" I said.
He turned to, his face paler than snow. My eyes opened wide.
"No one should walk alone during school now, come with us." He said, waving his hand, gesturing me next to them.
All of a sudden there was a huge, eerie screech from below us. Snape quickly put his arm around me. Professor McGonagall saw, but I reckon she took it as a protecting gesture, and not a relationship one.
All of a sudden, there were footsteps, coming up the stairwell to the left of us. I pushed myself closer into Snape. Professor McGonagall let out a long sigh. Professor Dumbledore was running up the stairs, and close behind him, was Harry. He looked just as surprised to see me, as I was to see him.
"He's here," Dumbledore said outloud. Beside him, Harry was nodding.
I looked from, Snape, to Dumbledore to Harry. "Who's here?"I asked, but I already at a pretty good guess.
"Oh, good lord, You-Know-Who,"Professor McGonagal said, her voice shaking.
"Voldemort?"I asked, Dumbledore nodded, and Professor McGonagall gasped.
"How on Earth did he get in here?"I asked.
"We don't know, that's the problem,"said Dumbledore seriously, "Severus, take Miss. Black, and Mr. Potter to the dungeons, while me and Minerva go and warn the students to go to the Great Hall, we'll meet there later…much later,"he said, looking wearing and old.
Snape gestured for us to follow him. Harry grabbed my arm and pulled me along. I was in so much shock I could hardly believe it. Was Voldemort here to kill me? Just as he had killed my mother? Was that my fate?
Snape was quite a good paces ahead of me and Harry.
"Where did you come from?" Harry asked me, pulling me harder.
"The library,"I answered him.
"Ginny returned from the library an hour ago."Harry said, stopping and looking at me.
"I'll explain later, come on!" I said, we had almost lost Snape.
As the dungeon doors neared closer, a figure slipped by in the shadows. Harry let go of me, and grasped his forehead.
"That was Voldemort wasn't it?" I asked him, touching his forehead.
He nodded, and I yelled after Severus. Who turned around.
"He went that way," I said, pointing to the door, heading toward the very bottom of the school.
"What are you talking about?" he asked me, walking back toward us.
"Voldemort went that way!!"I yelled, grabbing Harry's hand, and pulling him toward the door.
"And you think you can conquer him?"he said, smirking at me.
"Obviously," I said, not turning to look at him.
"I'll go first,"Harry started, and pushed open the door. Once he was inside, he closed the door.
Snape came up behind me, and rested his head on my shoulder.
"You can't go," he said in my ear.
"And what are you going to do, to stop me,"I asked, reaching for the door.
He grabbed my hand, and turned me around. I looked into his eyes, and he planted the softest kiss on my lips.
"I'm coming with you two," he said, his face still very close to mine.
"Well, I was hoping you were," I said, and grabbed his hand, and opened the door.
