Authors Note: I know I left you guys at a cliff hanger, so here we go, I won't leave you in suspense any longer!
"Must you purr so loud?" Snape muttered
Chance was curled up on Snape's lap, purring just as loud as usual. I walked around the love seat and sat on the other side of Snape.
Snape started petting Chance's head with his bandaged hand.
The bandage… I heard Dumbledore's voice echo "If it wasn't for Severus she would be dead"
He must have been the reason why my wrist didn't get sliced open.
"Is that the answer then, Snape was the one who saved my life?" I asked to whoever was in charge of putting me back into my body.
Chance opened his eyes and looked around. He looked at me and meowed. He got off of Snape's lap and came to me and tried to nudge me. He went right threw me.
"Chancey, you can see me?" I asked
Chance meowed again
"What are you meowing at?" Snape asked Chance.
Snape moved closer to me on the love seat and started petting Chance again. He started scratching down his spine and his tailbone making Chance lift his butt in the air. Snape still couldn't see me, and I will still not in my body.
"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE ANSWER!" I yelled
Chance's eyes widened and he jumped off the love seat and ran to the bed. Snape sighed and looked up at the ceiling. I sighed too. I moved closer to Snape. I could smell his beautiful musky scent.
"Kate, I'm so sorry" He said out loud.
I quickly looked around
"Did you just speak to me? Can you see me?" I asked.
I got no reply back. Snape rested his head on the top of the love seat and closed his eyes.
"I wish I never took off the pendant" Snape muttered, his eyes still closed.
"I wish we never had that fight" I replied back.
"I didn't know she was going to sing at the ball. I thought she just wanted to attend" Snape said to, what he thought was, an empty room
"I should have told you before" I replied knowing he couldn't answer me back.
"I should have went to her room sooner. I just didn't know that her song… the last one… was about me" Snape admitted, leaning forward.
"You knew that the song was about you?" I asked, also leaning forward
"Ugh! I wish I could have gotten the courage to see her sooner!" Snape yelled standing up.
"The courage?" I asked standing up as well.
Snape walked over to the bed were Chance was and sat down next to him.
"I went back to find the pendant almost right after I let it fall into the snow" Snape told Chance.
"I shouldn't have even said what I said Professor" I replied leaning against the back of the love seat.
"She must have taken it" Snape whispered.
"I'm sorry" I replied as tears started too fill my eyes.
"I love her Chance. I have loved her for so long, but I didn't think she loved me back" Snape confessed as he petted Chance.
My mouth dropped.
"But, now she'll never forgive me" Snape told Chance.
"You said you were finished" I managed to say
"It would be wrong anyways, I teacher with a student" Snape whispered
"It would be unspeakable" I replied walking over to the bed.
"Now Sirius hates me, not that he didn't before now" Snape added as he continued to pet Chance.
Chance didn't purr. His eyes were locked on me. I looked at Snape's cut lip.
"What do I do Chance?" Snape asked him.
I knelt down in front of Snape so that we were face to face.
"Don't give up on me Professor" I whispered
A tear fell from Snape's face.
"I love her"
"I love you too" I replied
I got ripped from my place in front of Snape. A force pulled me so fast and everything was blurry.
Then everything went black.
I could hear a deep inhale and a soft exhale. My eye lids felt heavy, but I still tried to open my eyes. My eye sight was out of focus and blurry. I moved my head slightly to the right. I saw a slight out line of Sirius' hand. I tried to lift up my hand, but all I could manage was a twitch. I tried again. I managed to move it slightly over towards Sirius'. It took me a couple of attempts until I finally managed to touch his hand with my pinkie finger.
Sirius let out a soft moan. I twitched my finger again and this time Sirius woke up
"Kate!" He said jerking awake.
My eyes still couldn't open all the way. The weight of them increasing with every second I kept them half open.
"Kate, talk to me" Sirius desperately said.
I tried to speak, but I was un-successful. I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I slowly closed them
"No! Kate, please stay with me" Sirius said, his voice faintly fading.
My eyes flew open. Sunlight beamed threw the window in my hospital room. I was all alone in the room. I tore the blankets off of myself and threw my legs off the edge of the bed. I tried to stand up, but I was still shaky. I took a few steps, but then fell on one knee.
My left side started to burn with pain. I dropped onto my second knee holding my left side. I needed to see Snape. I took a couple of quick breathes and screamed out in pain as I managed to stand up. I used the wall to help keep me steady as I walked out of my hospital room. The ward was empty and quiet. Very quiet. I slowly made my way threw the hospital wing. There was no one in the halls. I held on too the corridor walls as I managed to make my way down to the dungeons, still not seeing anyone. I got to Snape's door and slowly knocked on the door. It slowly creaked open.
"Professor?" I asked as I pushed the door open.
I stumbled threw the door.
"Professor?" I asked again.
His room was exactly how I saw it when I had my out of body experience, but it felt different. Something was wrong.
The door swung shut behind me.
"What the…" I said as I tried to open the door.
It was locked. I heard a noise from the living room part of his room.
"Chance?" I called out.
I walked slowly towards the fire place and love seat. I reached the back of the love seat and it was empty.
Someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.
"What are you doing in my room?" Snape snapped at me
"Professor, you scared me" I replied holding my chest in attempts to slow my heart rate down.
"Get out" He growled.
"Professor, I need to talk to you" I pleaded
Snape withdrew his wand and pointed it at me.
"Professor!" I asked
Snape glared at me
"I'm sorry, I'll leave then" I managed to say.
"Too late for that" Snape said with a smirk
"What?" I asked.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" He yelled as a green flash exploded from his wand.
I woke up suddenly back in my hospital bed. It was only illuminated by a lamp in the corner.
"She's awake!" I heard Sirius called out.
I looked on my bedside table and saw my wand lying on it, I quickly grabbed it, right before Dumbledore and Snape walked into the room.
"STOP" I yelled stumbling out of bed.
"Kate!" Sirius questioned.
"STAY BACK" I hollered
"Kate it's okay, you're safe now" Dumbledore said calmly.
"I don't fucking believe you" I spat.
"Kate, calm down!" Sirius said moving closer to me
I pointed my wand at him, tears streaming down my face.
"Stay back" I demanded.
"Kate, lower your wand" Snape declared
"No, you especially stay back!" I yelled.
Snape took a step back. He looked completely offended.
"Kate, lower your wand now" Dumbledore warned me.
"Fuck that" I growled
"Kate lower you wand" Dumbledore repeated
"Not until you fucking prove this isn't another fucking dream!" I cried out
"What?" Sirius asked.
My hand started shaking
"I can't do it anymore" I whispered
"Do what?" Dumbledore asked taking a step towards me
I pointed my wand at him. Dumbledore stopped
"PROFESSOR I'M FUCKING WARNING YOU" I yelled.
"Kate!" Sirius replied in shock
"TELL ME THIS ISN'T ANOTHER FUCKING DREAM" I demanded.
"Kate…" Snape started to say.
I shook my head
"I can't wake up again thinking I'm awake and have it turn out to be another dream" I breathed.
"Kate this IS real" Snape said walking past Dumbledore and Sirius.
"Just stay back… please" I pleaded.
"Lower your wand" Snape insisted
I shook my head in a "no" response.
"This feels different, doesn't it? Not like a dream" Snape calmly said taking another step forward.
I started sobbing; more tears came from my eyes.
"Lower your wand" Snape repeated.
I dropped wand in defeat. I started crying harder. I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around me.
All I could smell was that beautiful musky scent
Authors Note: I have been pondering and pondering and did some more pondering about what to do next, I do have plans, but I have a writer's block on how to get there, so the next chapter might take me a little longer. Hope you guys are enjoying the story so far!
I'm glad I'm getting positive comments on how my story isn't cliché. That was my goal.
