Chapter 3
Year 3
'I'm sorry, Sev, I can't meet you tonight, I'm busy.'
Severus read over the note from Sarah over and over. She'd never turned him down, never. Why now? Busy? What did that mean? He'd find out later.
Five Days Later
Severus sat, half an hour after they were supposed to meet, very alone.
Sarah walks in. "I'm-"
"Save it."
"But Sev, I-"
"I don't care."
"Whats wrong?"
Severus stood, slamming his fists on the table. "No, Sarah, whats wrong with you? The other day you blew me off and today your half-an-hour late! What in bloody hell is going on?!"
"I have a boyfriend."
"Wh-What?"
"A boyfriend."
"Who?"
"Sirius."
"Him? Sarah I-"
"I made him promise to leave you alone."
"Well, he hasn't been."
"I just got him to promise a few minutes ago."
"Why are you late?"
"We were-"
"Never mind, I don't wanna know, lets just play."
"Checkmate."
"You win, again!"
"You should know by now, you can't beat me."
"Arrogant Gryffindor."
"Stubborn Slythirin."
They laugh.
"Well, goodnight, Sev."
"Goodnight, Sarah."
