Chapter 12- One monstrously stupid plan

Raie's p.o.v

Maybe I was dead. There were bright lights, I could see them through my eyelids. I opened my eyes slightly. Guess I wasn't dead, or there was Hermione, sitting with her fingers in her mouth. Harry was sitting next to a strange, yet handsome man.

"Is she waking up?"came a strange voice. I quickly shut my eyes.

"What happened?It was as if,she just.snapped."came a voice that I recognized, it was Ron's.

"I'm not sure. I was trying to apologise to her, and she looked all pale and worried. Then all of a sudden she said 'Do you know the quickest way to commit suicide."Hermione said, and her voice sounded shakey, as if she had been crying.

"What were you apologizing for?"Snape's voice growled. Snape. His voice. Maybe I should open my eyes.

Snape. I was so incredibly happy that he was there. And that fact that he WAS there, made me feel even better. It was because he cared. And I loved him for that. I was the only one who actually saw the real Snape. Not the mean and greasy and stubborn Snape, but the caring and understanding one. And it was great that I have him.

"I was apologizing because."she paused, why?

"Lupin!!" came Professor McGonagall's voice.

A bunch of voices were communing. I stirred, and opened my eyes.

Everyone was standing around Professor Lupin. Slowly Hermione turned around and realized I was awak.

"Raie!!!"she yelled. She ran over to my bedside, and through her arms around me.

What was this?Was she crying?

"Ah.Raie"said Professor McGonagall.

Everyone was now facing me. Harry and Ron looked extremely surprised. Hermione, her arms still thrown around me, was crying. Lupin and the mysterious man were talking. But what got me the most was Snape's expression. He looked almost.disgusted.

"Raie, your ok!!!"came Ron's voice. He came and stood beside me.

Harry didn't say anything, but walked to the opposite side of the bed and grabbed my hand.

"Now.Miss Raie."came Professor McGonagall's voice. I sat up straight.

"What on earth were you thinking?"

I lowered my head in shame. I felt Harry squeeze my hand tighter.

My eyes started to water.

"Oh good lord woman, don't make the poor girl cry."said the mysterious man.

"Oh shut up Sirius."growled Snape, he looked over at me, and then looked back at McGonagall.

"Sirius?"I repeated

"I need a moment with Raie."said Professor McGonagall.

Hermione pulled away, her face tear-stained. Ron walked out, with Harry at his feet.

I watched Snape give me a look of affection, which surprised me, then walk out behind them. The strange eman took his seat, and Lupin walked up behind Professor McGonagall.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled. I looked down at my hands.

"Raie, we were all so worried about you." Professor McGonagall said, putting her hand on my shoulder.

"I don't know what got into me" I lied. I know perfecting well what got into me.

"Professor Lupin saved your life." Professor McGonagall said, looking over at Professor Lupin. He looked over at me and smiled.

"Thank you," I said. I started to get up, but Professor McGonagall held me back.

"Just wait,"said the mysterious man.

"Yes Minerva, let us have a word with her." Lupin said.

"Oh alright." She sighed and walked away. "Professor Lupin.Thank you."I said trying to force a smile.

"It was nothing, really."Lupin smiled.

"Oh shutup you bloody bastard, and quit taking all the credit."the mysterious man said.

Lupin and the man looked at eaech other and laughed.

"Haha.um what did I miss?" I sneered sarcastically.

"Lupin and the man looked over at me in shock.

"She's like her mother."Lupin said.

"Mmm, so I'm like Victoria then. Why do I have to find all this stuff out for myself?" I must have sounded very angry, because the man's face went into awe.

"Remus.how does she know?"the man asked, curiously.

"Uh."Lupin paused, not know the answer.

"I find everything out for myself, most unfortunately."I replied.

"Do you really?"the man asked, stepping closer to my bed.

"Yes I do. I found about coming to Hogwarts.all by myself. I found about Thomas Riddle being the heir to Salazar Slytherin, all by myself. Not to mention, I reckon I'm finding out you're my father.because no one else has told me." I replied, with the most annoyed tone I could muster.

The mysterious man, which I believe IS Sirius Black, dropped the book, which he was holding.

"Mmmm, right again? Raie's right again!" I said sarcastically

I glanced over at Lupin, who, who had been looking at me thoughtfully.

I sat up and beckoned Sirius over. I go out of bed and threw my arms around him. It took him a couple of seconds, and then he returned my hug.

Snape's p.o.v

IT was the most nerve-wracking thing to stand outside the hospital wing door. I want to know what go into Raie. I want to know why all of a sudden decided to kill herself. Dirty hell if its my fault..what if it was my fault. I mean, I cant exactly remember what I might have said or done to make her do such a thing, and then bloody Lupin, going and saving her life. Well, I mean, it's a good thing he did, but now the bastards prancing around, acting all big headed.

Ron and Hermione are arguing.

"You know what, this whole thing ridiculous."Hermione said, wiping her eyes on her swearter.

"And it's all my fault." Harry sighed, putting his hands over his face.

What was this? It's all "his" fault? I decided to listen closer.

I put my hand on my wand and whispered "Eavesdropsia." Instantly, their words were clear.

"Harry, its not your fault." Ron said, putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"But what if it is?"Harry said, looking from Ron to Hermione.

"HARRY!It's not your fault, not at all."Hermione reassured.

But what in God's name did Harry do. That's all I want to know.

"Oh, I also forgot mention that Draco did it too."Ron said

"He did??"Hermion yelled

"Yeah" Ron said, looking down cut his feet.

"Well no wonder she did it then, I mean, on top of me being extremely horrible to her, you kissing her and Draco must have overwhelmed her." Hermione said.

I had to catch my breath, for it wsa trapped inside me. Harry had kissed her! Also had Draco! How could this have happened.

"And I wonder what I would have done, for I also cant help facing her" Ron, said sheepishly.

"You what?!"Hermione yelled. She slapped Ron and turned and ran toward the Gryffindor tower.

"Well," Ron smirked, "someones jealous," and he looked in the direction of where Hermione disappeared.

"Don't you feel a bit guilty?" Harry said, turning to face Ron.

"Nope. I hope she didn't think we would always be hers, and we could never fancy another girl." Ron said.

Harry nodded.

I did the counter spell to the eavesdropsia.

I walked toward the hospital wing door and entered.

Raie's pov

"Let me have a word with her," Severus said, storming into the hospital wing.

"Severus, settle down." Lupin said, letting go of my arm, and standing in front of Snape.

"Please Remus, let me have a word with her,"Snape said, and that was the first time I had ever seeen him talk politely to anyone other than me.

"Oh alright." Sirius said, standing up and grabbing Lupin's arm and dragging him out of the hospital wing.

"The wings empty." I said, and pulled the sheet up over my head.

I felt Snape sit down on the bed. He pulled the covers down, just so my head ws showing.

"What happened,"he said, running his finger softly of my face.

"I don't know,"I sighed, and I looked up at his face.

He pulled me into a comforting hug. When I finally pulled away, he was tearing. This was a first.

"What is it?"I asked, sitting up and getting closer to him.

"Why is it I lose everyone I love, I'm afraid of loving again. I just don't want to lose anyone.I lost Victoria, and now I almost you." He said, closing his eyes, as more tears fell.

I couldn't believe it. He. Loved. Me. He loved me, what more to say? Severus Snape loved me and it was a wonderful feeling.

I took my finger and wiped his tears.

"I'm cursed, I must be," he said, looking down.

"If you were cursed, would anyone do this?" I said, grabbing his face, and planting a kiss on his lips.

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. Snape jumped up and wiped his face, and I pulled the sheet up.

"Raie how are you doing?"it was Professor Dumbledore.

"I'm doing better, thank you." I said, smiling up at him.

"Well, since the whole school knows already, I will inform you there is a Halloween ball, and everyone have a partner, otherwise once cannot attend." Dumbledore informed. He nodded at Snape, and then exited.

"A ball." I said, raising an eyebrow at Snape.

He shrugged.

"And you have to have a partner." I said, locking my eyes with his.

"Yes.."he said.

"Well I sure as hell cant go with you." I said, and I was exactly right.

"Thoroughly understandable."he said, looking over at the window.

"Do you mind if I go?"I asked.

"Well of course not.but as long as you save a dance for me later in my dungeons." He smiled.

"But of course." I smiled

This was going to be interesting.
