Professors Chapter 5: Evading Punishment and Being Rewarded
Sirius looked up from his seat on Halle's bed as Remus Lupin strode in the hospital wing. "So, what happened?" Sirius said in greeting as the other man approached him.
Remus took a breath, Sirius was not going to take this well. "Snape will teach until Christmas without pay." Remus took a step back, as Sirius just stared at him.
"And?" Sirius asked, his voice rising, "What else, Moony. What else is Dumbledore doing to him? I know there is something else." Sirius took a step toward Remus, his eyes flashing.
Remus steadied himself for the famous Black temper and thought. 'Well here goes' after another deep breath he simply said, "There is nothing else Padfoot."
Never in all the years of Remus Lupin's life and years at Hogwarts, had he seen Sirius as mad as he was now. Remus actually felt bad for Snape, if his friend ever got a hold of him, or Dumbledore for that matter. Sirius looked ready to kill.
He didn't even bother to give Remus a response he just bellowed "son of a bitch" and burst through the hospital wing doors leaving them swinging behind him.
In all the excitement neither of the two men had noticed the deep blue eyes of Halle Manning slowly open and take in what was going on around her. She saw Sirius burst out of the room and Remus's face wrinkle in worry over the temper of his life long friend. But she said nothing. She waited until Remus came to her side before she uttered a word.
"Remus" she said softly, and laughed when he quickly turned to her and grabbed her hand, worry all over his handsome face.
"Jane, are you alright, do you want me to get Madam Pomfrey?"
"No, Remus, please don't just yet." Halle answered him. "What I would really like you to do is tell me what exactly went on in Dumbledore's office." Halle grimaced as she attempted to sit up.
Remus helped Halle into a sitting position before perching at the end of her bed. "Jane, I want you to know that I tried everything I could to get Snape sent to Azkaban. But you see," He explained in a soft voice, "When Snape turned spy against Voldemort, he was given permission from the ministry to use The Unforgivable Curses without punishment." Remus paused at the look of outrage on Halle's face. "I know Jane, I know, he never should have been given permission, but he was, and we can't do anything about it. Dumbledore cannot legally punish Snape in any way."
Halle looked murderous. "Wait, hold up a second mate, your telling me, that Severus, that Severus friggin' Snape, preformed the Cruitatius Curse and got away scot-free?! Without any punishment at all? HOW THE BLOODY HELL?!" Halle was aghast, she couldn't even think straight. How could she get yelled at by the ministry for summoning a book in Muggle London and Severus Snape perform an Unforgivable Curse and walk away happy? It was inconceivable.
Halle had yelled this last statement rather loudly which caused Madam Pomfrey to come bustling over, and shoo Remus out. She ignored Halle's protests, claiming that she needed her rest, and pulled the curtains around her bed closed.
Alone lying in her bed once more Halle had time to think.
***Halle's POV***
'How in the hell? How do people like this get away with things? First Lucius gets away with killing father.no, I won't think about that now, I'll go crazy if I do.
'Oh, but what am I going to think about then. This is such a mess. What did I expect from Severus any way? People don't change. Not that much anyway. Oh Gods and to think, that last night I was actually kissing the.what is it Sirius says.oh yes.slimy git. But that's the thing, he wasn't being a git last night, he was perfectly wonderful.
'It's true the curse wasn't meant for me, but still, to aim such a curse at Sirius, he is basically my big brother. Ahhh yes, Sirius, playing the protective big brother, he is defiantly going to cause problems. And what can come from problems? Nothing!
'That's it, I quit. I'm going to quit worrying, I'm going to quit feeling sorry for myself.
***End Halle's POV***
Halle soon fell asleep, whether from the peace of reaching a decision or from the potion, she didn't know, but she welcomed the sleep either way.
She was awakened about 2 hours later by a hand closing over hers. She jumped and her eyes snapped open and quickly scanned the room, only to stop upon a very tired and be draggled looking Severus Snape.
At first Halle was angry from being pulled out of her peaceful slumber, but her gaze soon softened upon spotting the blacked eye and bruised face. He made no move to say any thing so Halle decided to break the silence. "Severus, we need to."
"Talk" he finished for her, looking her in the eyes and taking her small hand in both of his. "Yes, Halle, we do need to talk, and I need to be the one to start. I am so sorry, never in my life have I felt more heart broken then I do right now. I never meant for this to happen, I never once thought that it would, if I could take it back, or even trade places with you, I would do it, in the blink of an eye. You have to believe that I hold myself responsible for my horrible and cowardly actions. I will do anything you ask of me. I'll do anything to make this right; I will leave Hogwarts and never look back if that is your wish." Severus said all of this in a broken voice as if he were holding back a flood of tears. He meant every word of it and would be willing to leave if she asked it of him.
Halle looked at the man sitting in the chair by her bed and felt the tears in her eyes. Never, had she heard a more heartfelt apology, or seen a more sorrowful expression on a human face. She realized in that moment that she loved him, that she would do anything it took to make him happy, to take the pain and torment out of his eyes and life forever. "Severus," she started the tears cascading down her pale cheeks, "Severus, I know that you are sorry, and I know you didn't do it on purpose. I don't want you to leave; I want you to stay here, right here. I forgive you Severus, for everything. I decided a while ago, that life is way to short to hold grudges, especially against those that you love. And I love you Severus! I do, it may be fool hardy of me to love the man that almost killed me, but I do. I don't know why I can't explain it, and if you don't love me then just say so, but if you do, then please kiss me before I ramble on anymore."
Severus was quite taken aback by Halle's out burst; it wasn't what he had expected. He had prepared himself for I hate you's and get out of my sight's but never an I love you. He didn't know what to say, so he did the one thing that didn't require thinking or words, he did what she asked. He kissed her.
AN: Well, there it is. Chapter 5. What did you think? You want to know what I think; I think that the story is going to hell in a hand basket. I promise it has a plot in there somewhere. If you like it, then please review and tell me, If you hate it, then please review and tell me. I need to know your thoughts. Any reviews will be cherished and adored, and printed and framed. Well ok, perhaps not the last part, but I really would like them. ETA on next chapter.give me about 3 and a half weeks.
