Snape's mistake
Severus Snape sat in his study staring at the pile of un-graded papers as if they would mark themselves.
He poured another shot of fire whiskey out into a glass and drank it. The potions master soon discarded the glass drinking directly from the bottle.
Harry Potter (his husband of a year and a half) sat next-door listening to the sound of the bottle hit the desk time after time.
It was times like this he wondered why he even bothered to stay; the routine was always the same for the couple.
The study door swung open with a resounding crash revealing an extremely drunk professor. Harry stood up immediately, something Snape liked him to do as a mark of respect, another thing he didn't return.
Severus stumbled forward and roughly kissed the younger wizard forcing his tongue into the Gryffindor's unwilling mouth.
"Please don't." Harry begged but Snape just laughed.
"Isn't this what couples are meant to do?" He mocked cruelly.
"Not while your drunk." Harry protested struggling to get out of his husbands strong grip.
"Don't speak to me in that tone." Snape spat back handing the smaller boy.
Harry staggered back clutching his sore cheek as Severus approached him again.
"Pathetic and weak that's what you are Potter."
"Then why did you ask me to marry you?" Harry asked his vision becoming hazy as tears gathered in his eyes.
"Why did you say yes?"
"Because I loved you and I thought you loved me in return."
"Shut up you stupid boy." Snape bellowed hitting Harry once again sending the teen sprawling on the floor.
In an instant Severus was upon him, removing or more ripping at Harry's shirt. If Snape had been sober there would have been no hope for Harry but gathering all his strength the Gryffindor managed to throw the older wizard off of him.
He then crawled as fast as he could to the bathroom and locked himself in. "Get out here now Potter." Snape yelled threw the closed door trying to open it.
Harry curled himself into a ball leaning against the side if the bath trembling with fear. Tears soon trickled down his cheeks, oh how he hated this.
Half an hour or so later every thing went quite meaning Severus had gone to bed unsatisfied, but even so Harry stayed where he was not daring to fall asleep in case he came back in his nightmares.
Despite spending the entire night locked in the bathroom at five thirty he let himself out and cooked breakfast for his husband.
Severus woke an hour later coming out of the bedroom rubbing his head attempting to rid himself of a thumping headache.
The golden boy hadn't bothered to conceal his bruises with the concealment charm as he was already hiding something bigger.
"I'm so sorry Harry." Snape said trying to hug his husband but he skilfully avoided.
"Do you hate me?" He asked, Harry looked sadly into the onyx orbs that he had fallen in love with.
"I could never hate you Severus I'm just not sure I can love you right now either."
"Where are you going?" Snape asked taking note of the thick cloak Harry was currently collecting.
"To visit Ron and Hermione, I haven't seen them in a while."
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know." Harry shrugged, before leaving Snape's dwellings in the Hogwart's dungeons and headed out towards Hogsmead.
