Severus burst into the mall, and began to think. He didn't know what girls liked! He didn't know anything about Bellatrix. He walked into the Chocolate store, and bought a box of white chocolate truffles. He then went next door to the flower shop and bought two-dozen roses. As he walked back to his house, a lady stopped him.
"Sonny, are those for your girlfriend?" Severus looked around uneasily with dodgy eyes.
"They sort of are, but it's a long story," said Severus. He sat down and took a deep breath and began the story.
"This girl, who follows me everywhere snuck up on me today and surprised me, and I turned around and yelled at her. She went home crying, and not long after that I realized that I…love…her…? Holy shit! I love her!" Severus turned and ran towards Bella's house. The woman smiled and apparated. Severus burst into Bella's house and looked at the couch. Bella was laying on it dramatically, her face red from tears. Severus walked over to her and put his hand on her cheek. He leaned foreward and whispered,
"Bellatrix Lestrange, I'm sorry I hurt you. I love you." He wiped a tear from her eye and gave her a genuine smile. She looked at him, her pupils shrinking. Oblivious to the silent tears running down her face, she stood up and hugged him. Her hug contained years of love for him. She looked shyly up at him and said,
"I love you too, Severus Snape."
