Gwen is not a morning person and is usually still dosing off at the breakfast table. The Marauders give her dirty looks over their toast and bacon but she doesn't even mind, she's done trying to impress people if they have a problem with her then it's their problem not hers. She is far too busy counting the hours until she can be alone with Severous for it to really bother her any way.
She can't stop looking over to him wondering how she could go so long not seeing the dark beauty about him. His long dark hair falls like a curtain in front of his eyes as he plays with his food. He is like a raven majestically pecking at his toast. He catches her looking and nods holding her gaze daring her to look away but she doesn't.
The hall of noisy eaters disappears and they are just in that gaze. She's almost afraid of the power of their connection and how it has changed her world. Has she changed his too? Does he like her as much as she likes him? Is it all in her head?
She frowns wishing she could shut out all those niggling questions that run through her head.
"Gwen, why are you ogling at Snape?" Lilly demands making Gwen cough out some of her tea. "Are you too going out?" She asks.
"Does it matter if we are?"
"Well I'm supposed to be your best friend and you're keeping secrets from me, which matters a lot." Lilly argues picking up her things and leaving.
Gwen follows her, determined that years of friendship isn't going to end because she couldn't trust her best friend. She was so scared that Lilly would judge her and not want to be friend that she has landed up in this mess.
Severous touches her shoulder, "What's going on?" He asks in that deep sexy voice of his.
"Lilly's mad at me because I didn't tell her about us," she sighs.
"Why not, are you that ashamed of being with me?"
"No, of course I'm not but you called her you-know-what last year and well she thinks you're a bigoted prig." She explains.
"A bigoted prig,' did she say that?" He asks holding her shoulder hard.
"No, but it's what she's thinking and you're hurting me Sev," she winces as he releases his grip. "I have to go to her she's my best friend." She doesn't want to stay when he's like this.
"Do I scare you?" He asks.
"No," she smiles kissing him on the lips lightly. "I'll see you in Hogsmeade, okay?"
He nods, "Until later then my pet."
She runs after Lilly finding her in their dorm packing her brown leather satchel for the day. "Lil', can we talk about this?" Gwen asks.
Lilly slams her novel in her bag, "I know I can but the question is can you?"
"Okay, so I'm kind of seeing Severous and it's been going on for a while." She sits down and tells Lilly absolutely everything including her plans for the day.
"Really, you're taking him to the tea shop?" Lilly asks.
"Why, you think it's a bad idea?"
"No, it's just Snape."
"I know it's crazy but he makes me feel special,"
