AN: Thank you to those who reviewed and thank you to Tall Oaks your constructive criticism. I'm not concerned about the time period because I want this to be a more modern romance. I'm not calling myself a writer, I'm not worthy of that title.. I'm just a fan telling a simple story of heartache, love, forgiveness, and redemption. Sprinkled with humor of course! V

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC Tete. Such a pity…

I'm Going Down

Severus bit out a hiss of pain as he touched his bandaged wrists. He felt queasy and drain from the lack of blood in his system. Sunshine shined trough the curtain as the morning bird sang their song. He wanted to roast the birds to quite their insistent squawking. The dark child tried to sit up but immediately laid back to keep the world from spinning so much. The small slytherin tried to sit up again slowly this time to prevent the cloudiness in the head again. Severus sighed in annoyance and indignation. He wasn't dead. 'Oh joy. I will have to put up with the ranting and raving from the imbeciles who call themselves professors about me being a nuisance, disrupting their schedules, and having more important things to do than to baby and watch over or for a little snot like me' Severus thought pessimistically. He started to feel the pain from the injuries from earlier. "Oh fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck… I gotta get out of here. That nagging battle-axe, Madam Poppy will be up all in my ass about this latest debacle. Who the in 7 layers of hell saved me anyways? I thought no one around here didn't give a flying fart if I lived or died…" the dark haired murmured to himself. He peeled back the blood and sweat soaked sheets from his person and swung his feet to the cold wooden floor. The dark child inhaled as his slightly small landed on the cold floor. He braced himself against the nightstand to stand up. His legs were like a bowl of Jell-O as they wobbled and knocked knees as the youth struggled to stand. Severus finally stood and let out a small whoop of joy at small towards sweet freedom. He hobbled towards the large wooden that seemed to get farther and farther than they should. He had almost made to the door until he heard the loud screech out the last person he wanted to see.

"SEVERUS SNAPE! GET BACK IN THAT BED THIS INSTANT! How could you try to kill yourself?!?! You had me and your cousin, Tete worried to death. The poor dear almost snapped when you nearly flat-lined-," the medi-witch continued to babbled. Severus had toned the hysterical woman out a while ago when she said his cousin's named. 'Tete?!?!?! What in the hell is she doing here? She wasn't supposed read my entry until it was time for her morning. By that time I would have been dead by then. Did she safe me? Shite, shite, shite, shite!!! I'm screwed. That woman will hound and cause more trouble in these halls. I'm sure of it' the slytherin thought grimly to himself. He could tell this was going to be a long day and the day was just getting started.

Gryffindor Tower. Boys Shower

A particular Gryffindor was just emerging from the shower and toweling off. His broad muscular chest glistened with water droplets as pulled on his boxer shorts. He squinted his rich hazel when he reached for his gold-rimmed glasses. 'Today is going to be a great day. I'm show that meddlesome cow whats what. No one messes with Marauders and gets away with it' the arrogant Gryffindor mused to himself. A malicious smile graced his handsome face. Anyone passing the grinning felt a chill ran down his or her spines. They pitied the poor fool who was in James' sights for revenge.

Random Teacher suite in the Dungeons

Antoinette let out a fit of sneezes in mild annoyance and amusement. After the sneezes subsided a tight smile sneer plastered itself to her thick lips.

"Someone is talking about me again. Oh well, bring it on bitch. Show me what you got. I'll have you being for mercy by the time I'm through with you," Tete muttered to herself.

Time-jump. 6th year Gyrffindor and Slytherin afternoon DADA class

Tete walked down from her upper office and descended the stairs with her head held high. Her slight hocked nose shined in the weak light. Tete and James looked eyes the moment she reached the bottom of the steps. Blackish-blue clashed with hazel. Animosity and hatred sizzled the air between them. A stare down began. Everyone leaned in watching with baited wondering who will look away first. After two minute of not blinking the young Gryffindor looked away first. Tete smirked in triumph. James glared at the DADA professor with spite and embarrassment. 'You won that round you ugly cow but I'll get you in a minute' the Gryffindor golden boy thought. Something flashed behind the boy's eyes that made become more alert. 'He's up to something. Whatever it is it's not good. I'll be watching you Pothead' Tete mused to herself as she got to work.
