I Severus lies in bed. I walk into the room and he turns towards me. I
notice his hair is cut and he smiles. His eyes are no longer black and
searching but almost happy. He lifts up his arm.
"Look! It is gone!"
"That is great," My words express much more feeling than my tone. He doesn't notice.
"It hasn't ever fully gone away before, for short periods after harry did it, it did go away but never for so long. I am feeling much better now! I hope that I shall be up soon and walking. Just a few days from school too! I will be able to teach and everything. Did you get a chance to see Dumbledore and Harry? Are they feeling alright?" All throughout his speech I am changing into my nightclothes. He pays no attention to me but just stares at his arm.
"Both fine, Both fine."
"That is very good, very good I am happy to know they are both well! Are you feeling alright?" He takes a moment to address my obvious depression. The scene fades and I wake up sitting up and staring at a wall. I
I cannot sleep for the rest of the night, after laying for an hour I get up and walk downstairs. I have not yet understood the reasoning behind a curfew but take it into consideration by grabbing my grandmother's cloak and heading down the stairs. It is very strange to be invisible, I think of how much fun I could have back at home. There is no reason to go home now, now that he is here. Mustn't think of him I remind myself and turn the corner. I have no destination and no where to even go so I find myself sitting on the ground. I hear footsteps and almost get up to run before remembering that I have the invisibility cloak on. Why it suprises me to see Severus turning the corner. He walks different. He seems to be like me and have no real place to go. He walks slowly very different than his usual stride. He steps past me and stops turns around and walks back. After a moment of staring at me he shakes his head and continues.
"Do you wish to talk?" I ask interrupting his thought, he does not jump but turns. I pull off the cloak and he walks over to me and sits beside me. We sit in silence for a moment.
"Is it my fault?" He asks turning towards me.
"For what?" I ask back, puzzled.
"For you to stop loving me." He put his head low.
"I never stopped loving you Sev," I turn to him and our eyes lock for a moment. We lean towards each other and begin kissing, which lasts close to 15 minutes. Together we sit wrapped in each other's arms for awhile till I drift asleep.
Voices wake me up.
"Well what do we have here?! Two students out of bed?" I hear a cat meow after I recognize the usual sneer. I panic immediately until I realize he said two meaning that Severus is still next to me. I jab him in the stomach with my elbow. I hear a gasp, as Filch must have recognized Severus.
"Uhhh I-I'm sorry S-Sir. c-continue with your uhh" he glanced at me, "B- business…" He stuttered and walked off.
"Where do you wish to go?" Severus turned and looked at me.
"I think, I will just go back to the common room.."
"Good night then," He turned and kissed me before striding in the direction to the dungeons. I fastened on my cloak and made my way upstairs. I fell asleep quickly again.
"Beep beep beep beep" The alarm went.
"ugg SHUT UP!" I slammed my hand on the clock. It said 5 am. Why did it wake me up so early? Damn Wizarding clocks that set themselves for you. Oh well. I got up and opened my closet. I saw my riding pants and realized at once why I needed to get up at 5am. I quickly dressed into my riding clothes and went downstairs. Hogwarts was silent as I went to the main entrance and walked out to the stables. Patricia seemed to be the only soul alive on the campus. I stepped inside the barn and immediately heard her voice.
"Whoa girl, whoa, settle girl" I walked into the arena seeing Patricia on the end of a lead line to a rearing chestnut mare. "Morning Kayla!" How could the woman be so cheerful while hanging onto a rearing horse?
"And who might this lovely lady be?"
"Crystal, Crystal Fusion." She patted her on the neck and the horse side- stepped over. "She's an American Saddlebred. She is also yours." She smiled.
"What?"
"You are gonna train her. But not today. Go get Lightning. You will ride her this morning. Crystal needs to settle in, and you need to get ready for a show!"
I went and got Lightning out of her stall and hooked her into the cross- ties.
I gave her a semi-quick clean and tacked her. I decided to lunge her this morning for about 10 minutes. After that I put on my helmet and mounted.
"You ready?" Patricia popped her head out of a stall and asked.
"Yeah."
"Alright go ahead and warm up down there while I set up a jump or two." I went down in the other end and trotted for a little and set her into a nice canter. "Good Job, but keep your legs back and steady. Right yes that's good. Now trot and go over the poles to begin with." We went over those to loosen her up and then raised the jumps to 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, and 4ft and then all hell broke loose for a moment. I was riding her over the first jump when somewhere in her stall crystal grew restless and starting rearing, kicking, and bucking as well as snorting and whinnying. So we started going over the second jump when Lightning either first heard it, or Crystal must have said something wrong because Lighting shied while we were jumping and then bucked and a little rear and put that all together and I was on the ground. I was laying on the ground and Lightning came over and snorted at me.
"Don't move!" Patricia came running over. "What hurts??"
"My hip, knee and butt on the left side."
"Is that it?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"You can be done for the day. Visit the hospital wing though, when you get inside."
"I'll be OK, I walk her out bareback.."
"You go to the hospital wing! I don't need my star hurt for her debut!"
"I'm fine!" I wasn't fine. I just hated hospitals. I would not go to one. Nothing eventful really happened the rest of the morning though I was trying my hardest not to limp. Classes went normal and Defense against the dark arts was quite interesting. Artimus was a great teacher. After all my classes it was the best though. Patricia was to meet me at the front entrance of Hogwarts before we went shopping. Severus, true to my wish, was coming along. Patricia approached.
"He's coming?" She asked. "How's your hip? I hope it is fine and you weren't just faking it to be OK," Severus raised his eyebrows when she questioned the fall.
"No, No it's fine, yes he is coming I was hoping you wouldn't mind."
"No I don't. Come, come, it's a short walk to Hogsmeade." We walked there with Patricia mostly talking. Heavens knows about what but she talked the whole way there. We went to a store that I didn't even know existed and walked in. There was an older lady there wearing green robes and had black hair streaked with gray, which looked like silver.
"May I help you?" The lady asked.
"Yes, We are looking for one of everything. I need some leather tall boots, a pair of new riding pants, yours are a little old" she said to me before continuing. "Lets see, a shirt, and a jacket, and a velvet helmet. I hope you are in stock."
"Fully," The woman smiled knowing she would make a big sale.
"I haven't all the money for this." I whispered to Patricia.
"Do not worry about the money, just shop, What size do you wear?"
"Comfortably, usually a 34."
"OK lets start with the pants."
After a half-hour Patricia had picked out a new outfit for me. I had them on and was walking out of the dressing room with everything on.
"Absolutely fabulous. Ha! That's a show!" She laughed a moment at her own joke. "Are you comfortable?" she asked.
"Yes" I answered back.
"Then we will take it all!"
Later that night after the eventful shopping trip I found myself in Severus's bed once again. I was hugging him falling asleep.
"God my hip hurts." I complained
"That's not what you told Patricia."
"Well I lied to her." I stated, and he laughed. "will you cut your hair?" I asked.
"Why?"
"Because I want you too."
"Then no."
"Why not?" I protested.
"That is not a good enough reason, and not the real one." He began messaging my hip.
"Well, the real one is because you aren't exactly the guy the public wants me to be with. They want me with a clean cut, all-American goody two- shoes."
"Well I am not American but I have two shoes." He said with a laugh. "And what the hell do we care what the public thinks?" He waited for an answer but when I didn't respond he grew restless. "You do." He stated simply. Making the words seem wrong.
"Yes I do."
"Then leave, if you care about what other people think of me." I thought he was joking and I stayed put. He hand stopped messaging, "LEAVE!" He shouted and startled me. I got out of the bed and ran upstairs into my room. I was glad that the room was only shared with Hermione and me now. I didn't want anyone prying into why I was crying.
Well I dunno if that was short or not. Well thanks for my new reviewer! And well I kinda let her into a secret so I better tell any one else out there that reads mine. There is going to be a fight scene, probably caused by over-viewing of Bridget Jones's Diary. Even though I have already wrote the whole thing, It won't be happening for a bit, but It will be coming up sometime this school year. Sorry for the delay, I wrote a chapter to my Lord Of the Rings story and paused on this one, I think I will be switching back and forth from now on.
Bugger off!
Cheerio!
