Chapter 16

I'm Sorry

After class, I forced myself to walk directly to Snape's Quartes. I hated spanking. I wonder what Snape did to his hand that it feel like iron. I knocked his door before going in after hearing 'Come in' from Snape.

"Have a seat, Ethan. I want to finish grading this paper first." I sat with uneasy feeling while waiting for him to finish his grading. After 5 minutes, I saw that Snape done doing the grading. When I saw he walked towards me, I feel sweated pour from my head. Ok, I am not kidding! I am feeling nervous and anxious. Calm down, Ethan. I tightened my Occlumency.

"I want to hear an explanation why you think it is ok to break the curfew. Do you mind telling me?" He might sound that he's asking me but I knew that he demand an answer.

"I..I admit that it is wrong for me to break the curfew. But..but I am bored and unable to sleep so I want to take a fresh air." I explain, shifting my feet. I tried to look at his eyes but it was so difficult. But I knew that if I averted my eyes he will be displeased.

"Really? Is that so? You do know that lying is not acceptable?" He said. Must you make this hard for me, Snape? I looked away, clearly do not have an answer that he wanted. No way, I am telling him that I trained at Room of Requirement. I heard he sighed. He ordered me to take off my robes and lay on his lap. I did as he ordered. I startled when he took off my pants and summons the paddle. Don't tell me he want to spank me without my pants. No way! The paddle hurts. He only spanked me when I almost blow off his Laboratory at Prince Manor.

"Wait! Wait! Uncle sev!" I tried to fight him but he barked 'do not move' at me. I feel tears gathering at my eyes.

" I asked you nicely but you lied to me. You also put yourself in danger! Who knows what may happen when you break the curfew!" He scolded me. I believe he worried about Professor Quirrell who host Voldemort.

Smack! I jumped when the paddle hit my bottom. He continued to spank me. It really hurt. I do not care if I looked like a baby. I cried and told him I will not break the curfew.

"Uncle sev! I'm sorry! I said, hoping that he will stop. After 20 paddles, he stop the spanked. My bottom feel like on fire. I sobbed on his lap. He hugged me and whispered 'It's ok' and 'You're forgiven'. I cried and cried. I am not sure how long I had been crying. My eyes feel heavy. He carried me to my room in his quarters.

He put me on the bed and summoned the wet cloth and clean my face. I changed my position to the right side because my bottom still felt stung from spanking. I am glad there was no more class for today or I will be embarrassed.

"I clearly hope that you will not put yourself in danger again. I am not happy to spank you but I will do it if it is necessary." He said, his expression sotftened. I nodded while rubbing my eyes. He tucked me and stay until I fell asleep.

Snape POV

I waited until Ethan fell asleep. Honestly, I am feeling horrible because I think I am quite harsh on him. But I will not allow someone I cares end up dead. I promise myself that I will do everything in my power to prevent it.

"I am sorry. I hope you know that I will always love you even though I am being firm." I said, looking fondly at him. I kissed his forehead and said 'sleep well'. I put a spell that will alert me if he's having nightmares before walking out of his bedroom.
