Snape's Lost Love

Chapter Four

I walked up the stairs to the Astronomy tower, they seemed to go on forever. When the stairs finally ended I couldn't believe that Jenny was going to be here with me. There was a small light, lighting a very small portion of the tower. She would be up there with me and we would stand together. As I thought about this, I panicked, I couldn't face Jennifer. I couldn't take the pain if she told me that she didn't feel the same way as I did. If she told me that she didn't love me the way that she did, I didn't think I could go on. She would be up there in just seconds and if I headed back down the stairs now she would see me. I didn't know what to do. I pulled the small box that held the necklace and set it where the beam of light illuminated the ground. I moved back into the shadows, she would see the necklace but not me.

I heard the door creak and saw her. She was wearing a dark blue dress, I guessed that she would be going out with James later. She caught sight of the box and gracefully flowed over to it and picked it up. A smiled broke out on her face as she opened the tiny box. She took it out of the box and put it on. She looked down on it and I could see the happiness in her eyes. She looked around and when she didn't see anyone she opened the door and headed back down the stairs.

I am not sure how long I was standing there, alone in the darkness. It could have been five minutes, or five hours all I know is that I couldn't move. She loved it, but she only loved it because she didn't know who it was from. If I would have been there she wouldn't have liked it, or would she? A part of me wanted to know how she felt about me but the other part didn't want to be let down. I don't want to know, I told myself... at least for now.

A/N Yes I know it is really really short! I hope it is at least good. Please review so I know if it is bad or good or what. I will try to write more... late
