"I see you have the same look I do" Anthony smirked
"What does that mean?" Snape growled.
Anthony nudged his head towards me.
"I see it. I see the way you look at her. Obsessed" Anthony whispered.
Snape turned around and walked away from him. He even kept walking past me. I took one last glimpse at Anthony. He blew me a kiss before jumping back up into the trees.
"Obsessed?" I whispered to myself.
I quickly ran to catch up with Snape.
"What was that about?" I asked
"I should ask you the same question" Snape growled, still fast walking threw the forest.
"Professor, I did it so that we could find this dark magic thing" I defended.
He said nothing.
"He was willing to make an easy deal and I decided to do it" I continued.
Still no response from Snape.
"You actually think I enjoyed that! All I could smell and taste was blood, it was disgusting. What was I suppose to do?" I asked Snape.
He just kept walking at a fast pace. The snow crunched as he stepped.
"Are you just not going to talk to me now?" I asked slightly pissed off.
Snape stopped suddenly, making me almost run into him.
"I mean honestly Professor, I don't see what the big deal is" I continued.
"You still don't see it?" Snape asked, still not turning to face me.
"See what!" I asked
This honestly couldn't be happening. He has to be talking about something different.
"Never mind" Snape said walking away from me.
"Professor, wait!" I called out to him.
He stopped, still not facing me. I caught up to him and walked on the other side of him, so I could see his face. He didn't even make eye contact with me.
"Will you just tell me what's going on!" I demanded
"It's nothing" Snape said.
He tried to walk past me again, but I grabbed his arm.
"Professor…" I pleaded
I wasn't fully sure, if he was talking about loving me, but I've never seen him act like this before, I guess there was only one way to find out.
"Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand" I said
Snape's head shot up. He looked me directly in the eyes.
My heart pounded in my chest. I was scared of putting myself out on the line like this. My legs went numb and my stomach felt like butterflies were going to explode out of it.
"The thing with the Anthony just now, did you not see that I did that for you" I continued.
Snape still didn't say anything
"Everything I do, I do it for you" I continued. Putting myself further and further out on the line.
We stood there staring into each other's eyes. Puffs of smoke coming out of our mouths from the cold air touching our warm breath.
"Your last song…" Snape finally said.
"It was yours" I whispered.
Snape placed his warm hand on my cold cheek. He leaned in closer to me. I felt his body heat radiate off of him. He gently pulled my face towards his. Our lips touched. It was better than I have ever been able to imagine it. His warm lips pressed against mine. His beautiful musky scent filled my nostrils.
Our lips separated. He looked deeply into my eyes. I placed my hand on his chest; I felt his heart beating so fast and so hard. He was just as scared as I was. He placed his hand on the small of my back pulling me closer. Electrifying pulses radiated up my back from his touch. I leaned into him, putting my lips on his again. He was pulling me deeper and deeper into his lips, making it a craving that no rehab centre could cure.
He quickly grabbed my shoulders and pushed me away from him.
"Professor?" I asked slightly out of breath.
He grabbed at the chain around his neck and pulled it out from underneath his robes. It was glowing its nightmare green color.
"Not now…" I sighed, starting to feel a little light headed.
Snape smirked as he helped lower me to the frozen ground.
"I'll be right here when you wake" Snape said brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.
His lips touched mine lightly one more time before I fell into my dream.
I felt heavy, cold drops of rain land on my already cold face. I slowly sat up looking around.
I was lying in an open field. It was flat and never-ending. I looked down and saw that I was sitting in a huge puddle of mud.
I saw a quick flash from the corner of my eye. A loud thunderous noise followed.
I quickly looked around again, there was no where to take shelter. Another flash of light blinded the sky, and then quickly turned it black again. Thunder shook the ground below me.
"I'm trapped in a lightening storm" I yelled to the open, wet field.
A shot of lightening hit the ground, not far from where I was. I tried to stand up, but I slipped on the mud, falling on my ass.
I crawled forwards on my hands and knees. Lightening hit the ground again, this time even closer to me. Thunder shook threw my core.
I backed away from where the lightening hit. I was still not being able to stand up.
"It's getting closer" I said as the thunder rattled my teeth.
I managed to stand up. I started running away from the last place the lightening hit.
It struck beside me as I was running, I slipped a bit, but I managed to keep my footing and not fall down again.
Thunder boomed behind me as I tried to run away from the lightening.
I slipped on this slippery patch of mud and grass landing on my ass again.
I covered my head with my arms, waiting for more lightening to strike. Cold rain still pounded on my arms. I waited, but nothing happened.
Thunder shook the ground underneath me again, but the lightening seemed like it could not hit me. I sat in the cold mud shivering.
"T-t-thank you" I stammered.
I looked up at the sky. Bolts of lightening were striking down at me unsuccessful. The thunder booming above and below me.
The sky grew darker and I grew weary. I sighed. I hugged my legs and rested my head on my legs.
I woke up shaking violently. I felt someone pick me up.
"Come, let's get you back in the castle" Snape said
"I'm f-f-fine" I shivered.
"Your lips are starting to turn blue." Snape replied.
Snape helped me back into the castle. He started leading me downstairs.
"This isn't t-t-the way t-to the d-d-dorm room." I stammered.
"You're freezing and covered in mud, don't you think that would bring attention to yourself." Snape said, leading me down more flights of stairs. He stopped in front of a familiar door. His door. He unlocked the door, and helped me into his room.
"Take off your clothes" Snape insisted.
I looked at him intently threw my dripping wet and frozen hair.
"I'm serious" Snape said.
He turned away from me and went to a dresser in the corner. I stood there shivering, soaking wet and freezing.
Snape walked back to me and handed me plain white button up shirt.
"Take off your clothes!" Snape repeated.
"T-t-turn around" I stammered.
Snape smirked and did what I asked. He stood with his arms crossed and his back to me.
I stripped my soaking wet clothes off of me. I noticed my scar on my left side as I took off my t-shirt. After everything was removed I put on Snape's shirt and started buttoning it up. I got half way up the shirt, but it was difficult with my shaking hands.
"Are you done yet?" Snape joked.
"Hey, it's hard to button up a shirt when you're trembling" I replied.
Snape turned around
"Here, let me" Snape said taking over buttoning up my shirt.
I felt my face heat up instantly as Snape quickly made his way up the shirt.
"Come sit by the fire" Snape said as he finished with the buttons.
He grabbed my ice cold, muddy hands and led me threw his room into the living room part. A place I am familiar with.
I sat on the green loveseat in front of the fire. The heat from the flames warming my body slowly. Snape wrapped a throw blanket around my shoulders and sat beside me.
"Are you starting to warm up" Snape asked.
"I'm getting there." I replied, pulling his shirt down more, to cover my bare legs.
I rested my head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry" I muttered
"For what?" Snape asked resting his cheek on the top of my head.
"For the whole Anthony thing, you just looked so exhausted, and I thought if we found this thing, you would finally be able to rest." I replied.
Snape lifted his head off of me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I forgot all about the gem, I have to go deliver it to Dumbledore" He replied.
I lifted my head off of his shoulder.
"Stay here and wait for me" Snape whispered to me.
"How long will you be?" I asked looking into his eyes.
He kissed my forehead gently
"I'll try and be as quick as I can, but please, wait for me" Snape requested standing up.
I nodded my head and smiled.
"I'll be here" I told him. Wrapping the blanket more tightly around my shoulders.
Snape smiled and walked away. I heard his bedroom door shut behind him.
"Kate" I heard Snape whisper.
I slowly opened my eyes. Snape was kneeled down in front of me.
"I'm sorry Professor, I must have fallen asleep" I mumbled
I slowly sat up and yawned.
"What time is it?" I asked
"Don't worry about it. Come, let's go to bed." he said holding out his hand.
"Bed? As in your bed?" I asked hesitantly
Snape smirked.
"You actually think you could make it all the way up to your dorm room without passing out in the hallway?" Snape commented.
I already had my eyes shut by the end of his sentence.
"Kate, come to bed" Snape whispered.
I slowly opened my eyes and nodded. I grabbed his hand and we both walked to his bed in the middle of the room. He folded his mocha coloured blanket back and helped me into his bed.
"I'm not even tired" I mumbled as my head hit a soft pillow.
"You are so stubborn." Snape muttered
"How did the gem thing go with Dumbledore?" I asked, forcing my eyes to stay open
just go to sleep" Snape whispered
My eyes shut again. His bed was so comfy and warm. It was like sleeping on a cloud. It wasn't long before I fell into a deep sleep.
