Chappy 14 ya'll! I can't believe it! But this story is definitely coming to an end soon.

I've also decided not to kill Remus and Tonks because I love them together, and I'm already sad I killed Dumbledore so I don't want to make another mistake.

DISCLAIMER: I find these things extremely unnecessary, but I am not J.K Rowling. I also bow to her and her awesomeness.

** ** **TRIX"S POV** ** **

I sat in the corner with Severus completely and utterly bored. I groaned and checked Severus again. He was still unconscious, and he looked almost peaceful now, his brows were no longer narrowed, and the lines on his forehead were gone. His head was in my lap, and his arms were on his sides loosely.

I sighed and groaned again. I was extremely stiff and I had an itch that needed to be scratched, but it that would make Severus have to move, and I didn't want to take a chance and hurt him, so I just decided to "suffer in silence" as my dad says.

Over the course of the hours that I was sitting here doing nothing, the commotion outside died down, and I heard the Death Eaters leave and Apparate away I guess, but I couldn't see anything. And I heard cries of pain, sorrow, and triumph a few minutes ago.

And I could be out there helping, I am in Dumbledore's Army after all, but I need to stay here just in case Severus wakes up. Oh GOD, please wake him up.

Just then Madam Pomfrey came back with a middle aged man…I saw him before… Remus Lupin!

"Hey," I called and they turned to see me over in the corner with Severus in my lap, "Can you help me lift him up?"

Immediately Remus came over here and lifted Severus's arm on one of his shoulders, and I had him on my shoulder.

"So… you're Severus' girlfriend," He said snickering.

"Yes," I said slowly and skeptically.

"I always knew he'd go for some sarcastic American"

"You say that as if it's a bad thing!" I scoffed.

He didn't answer, so I laughed,

"He's not that bad," I said softly.

He laughed harder.

"I'm guessing you guys aren't friends," I said laughing slightly.

"Not the best," He replied smiling.

Madam Pomfrey interrupted us and said, "Take him back to the Infirmary. I'll be there as soon as I can," With that she walked away to help some young boy with a broken.

We walked in silence to the Hospital Wing. There's too many stairs in this school. I huffed after the first flight of stairs.

"Need to take a break?" Lupin asked sympathetically. We sat on the stairs and let them take us where ever they wanted to go.

"I don't know what you see in the man," He said suddenly and I slapped him.

"You're such an ass!" I yelled and tried not to laugh.

"Honestly I don't," He said and rubbed his right cheek.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"A wife,"

"Do you see me talking crap about her?"

He paused before saying, "Well, there isn't anything bad at all about her…but for now since your kind of pissed at me I'll just say touché,"

I laughed and wacked him on the arm, a bit softer. A bit.

"Ready to go now?"

"Yeah,"

We picked him up and walked all the way to the Hospital Wing. As soon as we got there, we saw the whole place bustling with activity, and blood was everywhere.

It was nasty.

"Severus isn't in terrible condition anymore so we can take him towards the back of the room and wait for Madam Pomfrey to tell us he can leave," I called to Remus over all the voices.

He simply nodded and I led him to the back of the room, onto a bed away from everything and laid him down on the bed.

"Thanks for everything Mr. Lupin," I said and kissed his cheek softly.

He blushed and said, "Call me Remus or just Lupin. And you're welcome,"

He smiled and walked away. I sat down in the chair next to Severus's bed, and held his hand. I needed him to wake up. I needed to tell him that I needed him, that I wanted him, and that I loved him.

*****************************12 hours and 37 minutes later*******************************

Around 9 am, I wake up and find myself in the Hospital Wing. It takes me a few seconds to remember what I did, why I was here, and who I was staying with.

The information rushed back much faster than I would ever want it to come. Kind of like when I was trapped in Carrow's closet.

I found my hand in Severus's and I squeezed tighter. I know I had to go. I had to tell everyone about my tattoo.

But what would they say? I am a marked Death Eater, so to speak.

I could parade right into the Great Hall and they could arrest me easily and ignore my American rights and Habeas Corpus (A/N: In the United States constitution it states that under Habeas Corpus, you cannot send anyone to jail without trying them in front of a judge and jury…I think, tell me if I'm wrong, but I think I have the idea). But then again, I am in Britain, so I'm not sure if American rights and laws are in affect here….

Anyway, I'm not stupid. Someone will find me, and send me to Azkaban. Sounds like a lovely place.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I jerked back and pointed my wand. It was Madam Pomfrey.

"I'm so sorry! You scared the bejesus out of me," I panted and put a hand over my heart as if that would help slow it down.

"No worries, my dear. I just came to give you some breakfast," She said and handed me a tray of food.

"Thank you Madam Pomfrey,"

"Miss Rayner?" She asked as I took a sip of Pumpkin Juice, "There are nasty rumors going around saying that you are a Death Eater and tried to kill Severus Snape,"

I spit out my juice on Severus. WHAT THE CRAP?

"But I saved his life!" I yelled.

"Sweetheart I know," She assured me, "I was there, I will sort out things for….that manner,"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"People also think you are a Death Eater,"

Oh yeah, she did just tell me that. I guess I was just too pissed that people actually think I wanted to kill him!

"Well, my dear, are you?" She asked taking a step back.

I thought about my answer and replied, "If I am, I wouldn't tell you in fear of getting caught. If I'm not, then I wouldn't tell you in fear of you thinking that I'm am trying to get out of something, or hiding something,"

It took her a minute to take that in, but after a moment she nodded curtly and walked away. I don't think she got my bluff. Goddamnit.

I got comfortable back in my seat, and moved it closer so I was right next to him. I pushed some of the black hairs away from his face.

I slowly closed my eyes, and fell into an uneasy sleep.

*8*1*1* (just random numbers)

I woke up startled to see Harry, Ron, Hermione, Bella, and Ginny staring me down. I sighed. I knew this would come.

I stood up and said,

"Alright before any of ya'll start blaming me for anything, I want ya to listen up," I talk in my southern accent when I'm in serious mode, "First of all; I am most certainly not a Death Eater. I have had this tattoo on my arm for as long as I remember. Even going into kindergarten I remember kids laughing at my tattoo saying crap like 'that girl has a skull with a snake in its mouth, EWWW!' and my parents have a Dark Mark, too.

"Ginny, Neville, I told you that my parents had Dark Marks, but I couldn't tell you that I had one because you would completely flip, shun, or report me! Honestly, until you guys told me I thought my parents were just drunk and sewed this shit on me.

"Anyway, back in the Shrieking Shack, I had to lie to Voldemort so I could try to save Severus's life. Draco is in fact the owner of the Elder Wand, so I thought Voldemort would spare Severus's life because there was no need to kill him, and they were 'friends' so to speak.

"I sort of knew that Severus would get bitten, but I had to try. Anyway, as you can see, I saved his life, all is good, and so there is no need to hate me. But of course you won't ever trust me ever again and I'm totally fine with that because if I were in your shoes I would be thinking the same thing.

"Any questions?"

They were silent, their faces softened a bit—a bit—but they still looked skeptical. Not that I was surprised of course,

"So you've been….lying to us the whole time," Bella said astonished.

"What would you have done? Honestly, I knew I was a witch for about 3 or 4 days before I was thrust into this school! I know muggleborns go through similar things, but on top of that I just realized that I am going to be branded for life by this…mark," I hissed the name as if it were a curse, "So please, unless you're here to visit Snape, please leave,"

I looked at all of them. First Harry left. Then Ron and Neville. Eventually Ginny took Hermione's arm and dragged her away. Bella stayed though.

She took a seat next to Severus and there was a moment silence before she said,

"You're right. I would have done the same thing. You may be a few years older, but I would have felt the same. I'm sorry. Next time, please come to me, though,"

I smiled at her. At least she understood.

"So," She said trying to light the mood. It was very un-Slytherin of her, so unless you ever saw her dark side, you would think she was a Gryffindor, "You're dating Severus Snape,"

"Does the whole school know?" I winced. Snape is gonna be pissed.

"Just about. That man, Remus Lupin, came out saying something like, 'Sevvy's gotta girlfriend!' Over and over again like some drunk, and word got out that you were with him and saved him, so they put two and two together,"

I let my face fall in my hands and I groaned. Lovely.

"Hey girl, don't worry! I support your relationship. If anyone gives you crap just give me a call. My dad works for the CIA,"

I laughed and smiled at her mischievous expression. That was what I was talking about. Her…evil side.

"So… you don't find us creepy at all?"

"Psh! Of course I do. Just make sure there's no make out sessions in the hallways. It's enough that I caught my parents going at it in the pool one day—"

"Bella! Shut up!" I said laughing and some people were staring at us because we were laughing in the middle of a dead, sad hospital.

It's these moments that I live for.

Then, Severus twitched.

"Oh my GOD! Trix he moved… do you think he can hear us?"

"Doubt it… but then again you can never be too safe."

"So… I can call him a big-nosed, evil little ass and he won't hear?"

"Bella! Shut up! Actually, in case he can here I'm going to use your full name,"

"You wouldn't,"

"Watch me,"

"Do you think it's weird that we are hoping that Snape can actually hear us, but we're saying that we hope that he doesn't hear us, so we some drama to look forward too?"

I stared at her oddly. It was…strangely true.

"I guess, ARABELLA JAMES, FIRST YEAR IN SLYTHERIN HOUSE,"

"You bitch!" She practically yelled and slapped herself laughing.

"Shh! People can hear us," I hushed but laughed, too.

"Snapey here won't deduct house points from his own house…would he?"

I shrugged, "I don't know…he is a triple agent,"

"Triple?" She asked perplexed, "I mean, I know how he's a double agent but…can he be triple?"

"Let's see… He was first truly loyal to Voldemort, then ventured over to the good side… then spied on Voldemort, and Voldemort had him spy on Dumbledore. How many do you think that is?"

"I counted 2, but that guy really needs to make up his mind. He changed it like, 4 times!"

"Not really, he was first loyal to the…I don't know bad side I guess, anyway then he stayed loyal to Dumbledore so that's only twice,"

"He could be lying,"

"Touché," I said and pinched my chin. She laughed at my expression, and eventually I laughed along.

"I think he's waking up," I said and held his hand and scooted closer when I saw him twitch his arm again.

"I'll leave you two love birds alone," She winked at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey Bella?" I called out softly and she turned around, "Thank you,"

She smiled and rolled her eyes, and I took that as an ok-girl-just-shut-up-and-let-it-go kind of look. I smirked and I heard the door slam loudly and I very loud apology so I know that she has left. I laughed softly.

Severus moved his head to the side, and I completely focused on his little movements, completely forgetting about Bella, Voldemort, my Dark Mark, and everything else.

Just then, his eyes fluttered open and his mouth was agape. I smiled so bit that I had to put my hand over my large mouth. I couldn't stop smiling.

"Trix…Trixie?" He stuttered. I gave an extremely girly squeal and hugged him so hard that he had to gag for breath.

"Let…go…can't breathe," He gasped and I quickly let go and looked at his face. There was a genuine smile and his eyes looked…lighter.

I've missed that look.

He leaned in and closed his eyes. I let him lead, so I just closed my eyes.

He was an inch away… a half an inch… a quarter… when I pulled away.

"Severus," I said sadly, "People…people know about us. I'm sorry, I know you probably wanted us a secret, but when Remus and I were taking you up here, he asked if I was your girlfriend, I said yes because I wasn't going to deny it! Anyway Bella James told me that he was running around saying, "Sevvy has a girlfriend," Or something like that. Anyway, so people saw that I was the one who saved you, in a sense, and they 'put two and two together' as Bella says and—"

He cut me off by kissing me slowly and gently on my lips, and I stuttered out.

He pulled away and looked me deeply in my eyes. It was like I was in some sort of trance and I couldn't look away. Not that I wanted to. He said, "Darling I don't give a shit,"

I smiled and kissed him again…

OMG! This is the last "Chapter". The next thing will be an Epilogue. I have a pretty good idea of what it will be, but if you have any ideas please include them in the review that you just SO DESPEREATLY want to write and I will give you credit ;)

Lol, please R&R and (as always) write me any suggestions or ideas that you think will help, or PM if you just want to talk!

Yours,

Vamp Girl
