I must say that this chapter is a wee bit sappy...but I think some changes
could be made to it at the end.
Oh, just remember I don't own anything that JKR created, except Oly, she's mine...all mine and I will do with her as I wish...hmpf!
"What then?"
"What is up with you and the Gryffindors?"
"What do you mean?"
"You are friends with them. You, a Slytherin, are friends with Gryffindors."
"Oh that..."
"Yes, that. We have established what I want you to tell me about, now can you explain?" He sounded quite exasperated at this point and so I proceeded to tell him why.
"The conversation you saw me having with Sirius, was about you. I was angry at him for always picking on you so I told him what I thought about it. I wanted for him to stop. I wanted him and the others to leave you alone."
"R-really?"
"Of course! Why else would I stoop to that level? Severus I really liked you, I just wanted you to like yourself."
"Past tense, I get it." He stood up quickly to get away from me.
"No, I liked you then; I think I love you now."
He opened and closed his mouth a few times before he spoke. "Okay, where are they? Where is Black, I bet he put you up to this!"
"No, no one is here; you took me here for a start so just stop it would you! If you let someone in for a change you might stop being to uptight!"
"You were being serious then?"
I neglected to use what he said as a pun, not the right time; I don't think there will ever be a right time to use that.
"Of course, why else would I say it?"
"Well when people say something nice to me, they usually end the sentence with, 'got you Snivellus', or they punch me. I'm just not used to people being pleasant."
"What about your parents? Surely they..."
"My mother, yes, she has got to be one of the nicest people around. But my, um..."
"You father scares the hell out of you?" I prompted.
"How did you, I mean I haven't told anyone."
"Looks like we come from a similar background then, you don't need to say any more."
The conversation dried up and so we went through the motions of going back to the dorms. He picked me up off the floor from my rather ungraceful position so I could stand upright and start walking. We ambled towards the dungeons, it was then I realised how far we had walked in the first place.
"We Slytherins are quite a way from real world. All tucked away in the dungeons, it is almost like we have something to hide."
"Are you saying you want to be a Slytherin again?"
"I suppose I am, much better than being a Gryffindor any day."
Severus then let out a genuine laugh, one that made my insides twitch. It was just nice to see a person who is usually scowling laugh with such conviction. His eyes were creased to the point of closure and his nose was wrinkling up.
"What has gotten into you?"
"Nothing, I was just remembering something?"
"Remembering what?" I questioned surreptitiously, raised an eyebrow to emphasise the fact I was wholly in the dark about his thoughts.
"This..."
He then spun in front of me to prevent me walking any further and held my face in his cool palms. Then after effectively stopping me he leant in and kissed me. At the time it completely surprised me, I was expecting him to make some sarky comment about me, but no, Severus was truly letting someone in and fortunately it was me. It was a sweet kiss, nothing too passionate about it. It was just a pure expression of how he felt.
"And you found that funny?"
"I guess I did."
We finished walking back to the common room in silence, smiling, but cautiously looking out for the caretaker. I knew he would have to go back to hating me the moment the door opened, but I could have cared less, Severus kissed me and that was all the mattered. We reached the door and I said the password. I tried to draw it out as long as possible, but after a while I had to actually say it.
"Gryffindors suck."
The door swung open and we both stepped into the common room, it was cavernous, absolutely huge so any slight sound you made echoed for ages. Not as comfortable as the Gryffindor common room, but it had it's advantages. If you walking straight though there was a door that led best part of the way to Hogsmeade, or so I have been told. I haven't been through and I don't intend to, just remember this, never trust a Slytherin.
We were met with silence when we entered, I expected this, but I thought my proximity to Severus would have alleviated some of the hatred, obviously not.
"You a mudblood lover too now Severus?"
