Note- okay pplz, thank you so much for the reviews. Flutterbye thanks for the critique. Im not mad or anything, but just to let you know, it does happen despite it is really sick and twisted. I talked to someone who had to marry this guy because of his parents. Its sick. And the abuse, well it happens everyday. Hell, I've gone through abuse, partially why this story is so twisted. So if you don't enjoy, its okay, thanks for reviewing anyways, and if u do, well I've got another two chapters in store. Peace the author
Chapter Eleven
He wasn't sure when Lucius was coming back. He wasn't sure of when this feeling of love was going to end. He couldn't live without her. He didn't want her to go back to the manor and end up regretting the rest of her life.
He awoke the next morning without her in the bed next to him. It was eleven and then rain had stopped. He turned to face the other side of the dormitory. Something caught Severus's eye. A suitcase lay atop Lucius's bed.
His heart began to race and he soon panicked. What if Lucius had caught him and Erika in bed? Though he reassured himself if he had, he would have done something to him too. He got dressed quickly and went searching for them. He had to find out if anything happened.
He went down halls until he found them. She was wearing a skirt and a sweater and he was wearing his school outfit standing over her. He could taste the tears all the way from here.
Lucius caressed her cheek and wrapped his arms around her. Erika just stood helpless in his embrace. She saw Severus standing in the hall, staring at them. She motioned for him to go. As much as it hurt him, he left.
He found her later down one of the halls. He looked around for Lucius before hugging her.
"Did he find us? What happened?" He asked her. She stood in front of him, staring into his eyes.
"Lily snuck into the dorms and informed me he was coming. God, Im so glad for her. Anyways, so I left into mine before he could even come in and lay his stuff down. Severus we need to talk. Somewhere where I know Lucius wont come in on us."
He thought for a moment, he took her hand and lead her down a flight of stairs, a few turns to a room no one seemed to find on the map. He opened the door and they're where two chairs, though the room had a cozy look to it.
"Now what is it?" He asked, placing her hand in his.
"I have to leave. I can't stay here. I plan on going where I was before and you cant tell anyone im doing this. I don't want to do this, I don't want to leave you but I have to. I am going to leave today though, probably a few hours once I talk to Lucius." She said. Her head was low, her hands seemed limp.
"No...........no you can't do this. You can't just leave now. I need you Erika, not now. Please not now. What if I never see you again?" He said as the words swelled in his throat. He felt a gigantic lump in his throat.
"This is the best thing to do Severus. I'll come back; someday I'll be yours. Someday we wont have to ever worry about this again and it will get better. Promise me you'll wait for me."
"I will, I swear to you I will." He said kissing her palms. They hugged for the longest time and tears began to flow from her eyes. A steady fall of salty water. She got up and left her seat, looking once more and gave him smile with tears in her eyes.
He tried to stop her but he knew he couldn't. He couldn't find her after that. He couldn't find her for a very long time but each day he waited. Some days it seemed like it would be forever before she finally came back. Sometimes he imagined she would walk into the door, as she had first been when he saw her, radiant.
The flashback ceased and he came back into this world of teaching. The world where he was alone with no one to love and he wondered if tomorrow his heart would completely and totally freeze over. No one had ever replaced her love; no one could ever replace those rays of hope that sat at the bottom of his heart.
Lucius had married, had a child who attended Hogwarts and was just as malicious as his father had been. Lucius had been devastated at the fact that he had lost what would be his first bride. He nearly lost his life if not for the fact that Tom who was now known as Voldemort would be able to find the child no matter how long it could take.
He went to the Great Hall in the morning of the next day. It was spring and the rain was pouring, just like it had when she first came to him. He sat down and drank a cup of coffee and went to his class. The classes went on as preceded but his mind was lost in the thought of her. He couldn't understand why now he was thinking of her.
One night a week later there was somewhat of an uproar. A new student had come into the school though he didn't know the name. They had asked not to be presented, on the fact that they wanted no introduction. He walked down the hall to the Great Hall. Students began to rush in. Through the crowd he saw a girl standing there, black curly hair wearing muggle wear, a black and pink skirt and a black shirt.
He blinked in shock. But as soon as he opened his eyes again he realized that it was just his imagination, there was no girl. There was no version of Erika standing near him.
He went to dinner and eventually back to his own housing area. He enjoyed the comfort of it, the solid figure it produced when you walked in. It didn't take him long to dream. She was there again, in his arms. But as soon as the dream had started, it ended.
A day had passed without ever seeing this new person, which he believed he'd just end up seeing them within the next few days. It was Wednesday now, and students began filling into his classroom. It was one of the lasts classes of the day and he was already getting fed up. The students began to act up, throwing things at each other, doing inappropriate spells. He heard a large pop behind him, and turning was hit with a cloud of smoke.
His anger was rising. He yelled detentions out at people, took points away from Houses. Though as one more pop sounded, exploding the potion, there was a knock on the door. Students began whispering to one another, unaware of what punishments may lie ahead. He walked to the door and opened it obviously disheveled. What he saw shocked him.
It was the girl from the hall. She still had muggle clothing on. She was wearing a black skirt and black tank top, her hair straight this time. Her brown eyes glittered under the little lighting of the candles. All the memories hit him of Erika, was this her? He wanted to take the girl in his arms.
He looked down at the note. It was from Dumbledore, explaining why she was late for this class. He couldn't read the name printed on the note but she just smiled and walked in. He didn't want to teach the class that day. His mind was too focused on the girl, and at times he lost thought of what he was saying, his eyes trailing back to her.
"Maybe this is her daughter, this look-a-like daughter." He told himself. He wanted to know about her. He signed homework and the bell eventually rang. Severus got up, expecting to catch the girl but she was gone before he could find her.
He attended dinner, but didn't find her. Eventually after walking the halls he went back to his room to read. It started storming again. It was only eight o'clock and he wanted to feel the water, he wanted to see the sky be illuminated. Severus went down the stairs and out of the building. He thought he was the only one
There, standing in the same outfit before was that girl. She was drenched but standing out in the open, staring into the sky. He ran to her, to ask her what she was doing. When he reached her he tapped her on the shoulder. She kept her head up staring at the sky.
"What are you doing out here?" He asked. He became impatient with waiting for her answer, without any sign of movement.
"Answer me!" He demanded. She looked to him. Her eyes shimmered. He couldn't read what was in her mind.
"Im tasting the rain Severus." She said in a familiar voice. The sweet flow of words shook him.
"Erika?" He asked. It couldn't be her. So many years had passed, this couldn't be her. She would have to be an adult like him. She looked to him and smiled.
"Yes." She said. He didn't take it in at first, but finally realizing what she said he took her into his arms. He felt his eyes water but no tears came out. He held her so tightly.
When he pulled back tears began to come down her face.........or was it rain? Her make up was smudged and she smiled at him once more.
"I told you I'd come back, someday." She said going back into his arms again. He took her back in his arms, and eventually took her hand and led her to his room. They could love now.
He wouldn't let what was rules at Hogwarts stop him. He took her to his room. They removed of the drenched clothes and lay in bed together. She radiated under him they held each other after making love. Everything he had waited for was coming true now.
The next day they would go to Dumbledore, would talk over with him the possibilities of a relationship, which seemed forbidden. Though a resolution was made and kept in secrecy for the coming year. All soon would seem like a happy ending.
Know one really knows the fate of their life. Severus and Erika would not. They would not know that everything would be perfect for many months. Nor would they know that one day, they would find everything that had balanced out to turn upside down.
End
