Harry could feel his eyes starting to close as he listened to Professor Snape drone on and on about the importance of writing an essay they had earned. The
bell rang, and Harry jumped in his seat, suddenly awake. "Finally," said Ron as the three left the dungeons, "I swear, Snape gets more and more boring
everyday." Harry nodded in agreement, but Hermione looked rather annoyed. "Honestly Ron, you'll never learn anything if you keep that attitude," she said
briskly flipping her hair over her shoulder, "Besides, you need too pull up your grades. Your already missing three assignments"
Ron snorted, "Fine mother," he said sarcastically, "Always getting up my ass about every bloody thing..." he muttered to Harry under his breath. Harry wasnt
listening though, he was used to them arguing over every little thing, and he had more important things to keep his mind on. Just then, he realized he left his
notebook in the dungeon, "Listen guys, I'll catch up to you later. I left something downstairs." he said leaving Ron and Hermione still having their argument on the steps.
Once Harry reached the door to Snape's classroom, he could hear hushed voices inside. He stuck his head in just a little too see what was going on. Draco Malfoy
was still sitting in his usual seat, and Professor Snape stood behind, leaning over him. Harry quietly entered the room, hoping not too disturb them, since they
looked deep in conversation. "I've been hearing some rumors about you and Potter..." said the Professor's low voice. Harry stopped dead in his tracks, his heart thumping wildly. Snape couldnt know, could he?
"Oh really?" said Draco, "Like what?" Harry quickly crouched underneath a desk, being careful not to hit his head on the chair on his way down.
"I heard you and Potter are an item..." drawled the Professor, "You know you cant keep secrets from me Mr.Malfoy." Draco smiled, "I know, and yes. There is
something going on between Potter and I, but I doubt it's any of your business." he said cooly, folding his arms across his chest.
Harry was stunned, after that long speech Draco had given him about keeping their relationship a secret, he had now went and told Snape! How could he do this too him?
Harry rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasnt dreaming this all up, but he wasnt. He could feel the cold stone floor beneath him, and the usual draft from the
dungeon. "Draco," said Snape sitting down next to him, "I need to know. I cant keep giving you high marks if you dont tell me..." Harry watched as Snape's pale
hand rested against Draco's face, his thumb lightly stroking the boy's silver hair. "You dont know how difficult this is for me," said Draco, "I really do love him."
"But dont you also love me?" said the Professor, his other fist clenched, "I thought we had a deal. You give me what I want, you get the marks you rightfully
deserve," his pale lips curled into a malevolent smile, "Isnt school important to you? What would your mother and father say if they knew you failed my class?"
Draco shook his head, "I know," he said softly, "Just give me time to think about things"
A cold laugh escaped the Professor's lips, "Time to think? What is there to think about? It's either me or Potter, Mr.Malfoy..." Harry could see Draco's pale eyes
closing, tears running down the pale cheeks, "I'm so sorry Severus," he whispered, "I know you love me just as much." Snape nodded, "I know," he said
taking Draco into his arms, "Believe me I do." Snape ran his long fingers through the boy's silver hair, his hand gently going underneath his chin, lifting his face up
level to his, and gently kissing him. The whole scene wanted to make Harry vomit, just the thought of Snape...he shuddered. "Come," said Snape softly rising
from his chair, and taking Draco's hand in his, "Show me that you still care." Draco stood and followed Snape reluctantly to his office, the heavy wooden
door slamming shut behind them. Harry sat there, wide eyed and astonished. He couldnt believe what just happened. He scurried out from underneath the table
and ran out of the dungeon, tears forming in his eyes. His notebook still on his desk.
