A/N: Chapter three. Please R&R.
And Thank you Princess-Anime! I WAS PUT ON HER FAVORITES LIST! THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME TO BE PUT ONE! This chapter is dedicated to her.
TANYA
She blurted out everything, her father's death, her loneliness, how she didn't really have friends, only traitors that could turn their backs on you in half a nanosecond. He in turn told her a bit about his life and family, but he mostly but just listened to her and gently wiped her tears away, ignoring the fact that she already had a handkerchief. Tanya noticed that his arm was around her waist, but on the ground. Both left out their personal feelings.
After a few moments, she fell silent, just leaning against him and relaxing. Her tears had disappeared a long time ago. "Professor?"
"Yes, T- Miss LaCier?"
She paused, thinking. "It's all right with me if you call me Tanya." I hope I don't offend him.
He seemed surprised. "Very well, Tanya. But I will refer to you that only in private." He seemed pleased.
"I was wondering, do you ever get lonely?" Oh, my god, where was this conversation going?
"What do you mean?"
She shifted her position, turning around so that her clear emerald eyes were gazing into his. "I mean, you're always alone." She lifted her face closer. He smelled so good, masculine and another earthy smell she couldn't identify. "Don't you have any family? Or close friends or something like that?"
"No…" Their foreheads were touching, his lips so dangerously close. He looked so lonesome, so sad.
She suddenly found her lips enveloping his, her tongue probing down his throat. He moaned softly, exploring her mouth, caressing her hair. She fell against him and pushed him back against the tree, holding her hand behind his head so as to avoid chafing it. He sighed and pulled away, murmuring, "Tanya……I……we cannot do this……" Their foreheads were resting against each other's. A salty tear fell on his cheek. Oh, no, Tanya, please don't cry…
Tanya sat back up, tucking her hair behind her ear. She looked down. His taste was still in her mouth, so sweet. Severus was pained, wishing he could read her expression. "I'm sorry Severus." She stood up quickly and ran away, leaving her wand behind.
SEVERUS
You fucking idiot, he was thinking, Why the damned hell did you do that? He pounded his head against the bark of the willow. Because you wanted to. He felt so agonized and confused, but he couldn't have Tanya, though they loved each other. She called him Severus. Dumbledore had a lot of loopholes and excuses but a relationship between a student and her teacher was definitely out of line. He pounded his head again, starting to sob. These were the painful tears, the ones he thought no one would see. Just another teacher. Just another student.
DETENTION
Severus was already waiting for Draco, with Hagrid, who was trying to cheer him up. "Eh, wots the m'tter, ol' Severus?"
"Nothing that would concern anybody but me." He was back to his snippy self.
"Very well, Sev, but ya' looks a bit strangeh'."
Malfoy was late, coming in with a swagger as usual. "You are late, Mister Malfoy."
Malfoy smirked. "What are you going to do to me tonight?"
"Well, I'm turning you over to Hagrid here, and when you're done, report to me at my office." Severus nodded to Hagrid and walked away.
DRACO
Draco sighed. "What are you going to do? Unicorn blood in the forest?"
"Act'ly I need'd sum 'elp wid' my p'mkins." Oh. The oversized giant's oversized veggies. Ten minutes later, he was hacking away at the weeds, but he was having a hard time since he didn't know what weeds looked liked (house elves) and since they towered at least two feet over him. He was about to swear when someone seized him and covered his mouth, muffling his shouts. He was dragged a few hundred feet away, several branches tearing at his skin. The "someone" dropped him ungracefully on the ground. Draco stood up and dusted himself off, saying, "Who the fucking hell are you?"
"If I were you, I'd watch that mouth around me." Draco knew that voice, as metallic as his own.
"Father? What are you doing here?"
"There many things about me I cannot tell you." Lucius flicked away something that had been in his pale blonde hair. His silver eyes glinted in the moonlight.
"So why did you drag me across the Forest and disrupt my work?"
"If I am right, you were having detention- Draco gulped –but I think I'll spare you tonight. Do you want to have, let's say… a little revenge? Also to help me, of course." Draco smiled. Sometimes, his father was just like him. Just as evil.
"What?"
"Something to do with a bitch of yours."
LATER…SEVERUS
Severus was furiously checking the assignments. As he passed each paper, he gave that person a failing grade, ignoring the fact that some were the best he'd seen. When he came to Tanya's he ripped it up and let the pieces flutter to the floor. What have you done to me? His head was in his hands and he almost cried again. Which surprised him. The last time Severus had cried was in his fifth year. That seemed such a long time ago.
Someone knocked at the door. Severus quickly straightened up and answered, "Come in." It was Malfoy. He looked somewhat different, but Severus couldn't fathom why. "Are you done already?"
"Yes sir."
"All right, then. You may go." Malfoy didn't leave just yet, though. He came closer to Severus and whispered in his ear, "I think you should keep a very close watch on a certain someone tonight." Then he left. Severus frowned. What was he talking about. Pushing the thought away, he turned back to checking his assignments.
DRACO
Once he made sure he was out of hearing, Draco pumped his fist into the air. Time for the next step. He ran in the direction of the Common Room.
SEVERUS
Severus was still in his office when a thought flashed through his mind. He jolted out of his seat. Draco had meant Tanya! What was he going to do? Severus ran outside, forgetting everything but the fact that Tanya could be harmed.
TANYA
Tanya had stayed in the Common Room the whole day, staring into the fire. The gold and crimson flames danced around as if to taunt her. She had run out of tears a long time ago. The door opened. Draco. She heard him mutter something. "Alohomora."
Tanya started to get worried, pushing Severus out of her mind. She instinctively reached for her wand and realized it was gone. Drat. She had left it behind. She got up to go to her Dorm, but Draco stood in her way. "Going somewhere, Mudblood?" She was going to run when Draco slammed himself against her, pinning her to the wall. He ripped her robes and pointed his wand at her. "Silenus."
Now her screams couldn't be heard. She squeezed her eyes as he kissed her. She tried kicking him but he jammed something sharp into her arm. "Hmm, you are easy." Draco laughed maliciously.
A/N: Gasp! What happens next?!?!?!? Revvies to find out. Big fat juicy revvies. Poor Hermy….
