CHAPTER 21: YOUR HEART!
Anna looked at Snape, and the heart breaking look on his face. She made her way over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Dad? Are you alright?" She asked gently. Snape stiffined and made his way to the other side of his desk.
" Still think I've lost nothing?" He asked in a cold voice, Anna looked down shamefully.
" No, no I don't." She said quietly.
" Good." He said in the same cold voice, Anna looked up surprised.
" You must have really loved her." She said in a small understanding voice.
" What's done is done, it's in the past." He said in a stiff voice.
Anna looked up outraged, " what's done is done? She was murdered!" She yelled outraged.
" The Maria I love died along time ago." He said harshly as he folded his arms and turned around. That one hurt more than Anna admited.
" Stop acting like a five year old and face me!" Anna commanded, when he stood his ground Anna lost it.
" This is why mom left you because you don't let anyone see the real you, the you with emotions and feelings! Your utterly stubborn when others try to help you! You don't let anyone in!" She screamed.
He looked back and sneered, "in?" He scoffed," in where? Oh wise one!" He said sarcastically turning around.
" YOUR HEART!" She yelled exasperated pointing to his heart.
" I think it's time you went back to your dorm." He said coolly and swept into his room.
"GREAT!" Anna screamed as she went out the door and slamed it.
Anna ran only a few corridors when she stopped to catch her breath. ' Stupid!' She thought kicking the wall, she could feel tears forming behind her eyes and collected herself.
She went into the common room and looked over to see the couch from the fire empty. Harry, Ron and Ginny were at Quidditch practice, and Hermione was at the library. She groaned and put her head in her hands. 'Everything is so screwed up!' She thought to herself.
She looked up into the flames, for a split the second the flames grew higher and she swore she though she saw a man's face in the flames. She did a double take and the man was gone as fast as he came.
" Great! Not only does my dad hate me, I'm going crazy!" She said miserably and put her head back down.
" Not as crazy as you think." Anna looked up, she distinctly herd a man's voice. She looked around the common room only to see a few first years. She shook her head and decided it was time to go to sleep.
As she got up and turned around, she put her head a little to the side closest to the fire.
" I don't know who you are...but thanks." She said gratefully. As she ascended she looked in the back only to catch a glimpse of the same man give a wink and dissapear in a blink of an eye.
She smiled, ' maybe not as crazy as I think.' She said to herself, she knew she would never tell anyone about what she saw. They'd lock her up in St. Mungo's for sure. On that final note Anna fell into a dreamless sleep.
Anna woke up and went down to breakfast, Harry greeted her with a kiss on the cheeck as she sat next to him. She gave a small smile and poured herself some juice.
Anna loaded her plate, but didn't eat a bite. She had to much to think about, classes, dueling, the dude in the fire, and unfortunatly, her father. The trio noticed this, well atleast Hermione did, the boys were too busy stuffing thier faces.
" Are you alright Anna? You haven't touched your food." She asked, Anna smiled.
" Just got alot on my mind." She said honestly, Hermione nodded and went back to ther toast.
" Harry?" Anna asked tapping him on the shoulder, he turned toward her.
"Yes?" He asked, trying not to splatter her with food from his mouth.
"Could you take me to the Room of Requirement?" She asked, Harry looked confused.
"How did you know about that?" He asked, the other two leaned in, curious too.
" Well, I persuaded Dumbledore that I needed to learn how to duel to protect myself and he said to meet my trainer there later today after class." She explained.
Harry nodded, " that's great! Sure I'll show you. Who's your trainer though?" He asked.
" A guy name Mr. Lupin." She said, the trio spit out thier food.
" Guessing you know him then." She said wiping the contents off her robe.
" He used to be our DADA teacher in third year, he's really great!" Hermione said excitedly.
" Well then you guys can come say hi!" Anna said, she felt someone staring at her and looked up to see her dad, or Snape, as she now referred to him. Not wanting to be there any longer, she grabbed her book bag and told them she would meet them up earlier.
Snape watched her leave sadly, he knew she was right last night. The fact that someone cared for him and saw him at his weakest scared him. He didn't mean to shut her out, but it's the only thing he knows how to protect himself. Sharp insults and sarcastic comments.
'Now she hates me.' He thought sadly and stomped his way to his class.
