Severus sighed, the tension from the day slowing seeping out of him as he petted the Giant Squid. The feel of the velvety, slippery tentacle beneath his hand was soothing. The magnificent creature was lying part of the way out of the lake, lounging peacefully in the sun and giving Severus the company that he desperately craved. He missed this lovely animal when he was in class.
It all started when stupid Potter pushed him into the Black Lake last year. He wasn't expecting the sudden sting of cold water against his skin, and he spluttered as he accidentally inhaled water. For one terrifying moment, he thought that he was growing to drown. Suddenly, he felt himself lifted out of the water and placed gently on the ground. When he glanced back at his hero, he could have sworn that he saw compassion and understanding in the Giant Squid's eyes.
After that, Severus began eating his lunch outside, bringing extra food to share with his new friend. He made sure to always bring several rolls, since he had quickly realized that they were the Giant Squid's favorite. He began to rely on the creature; it always listened to him, never judging him for his mistakes or the family he came from. It accepted him exactly the way he was, which was a new and pleasant feeling.
Many times, the Giant Squid even lifted its tentacles out of the water and wrapped them around Severus. The gesture was oddly comforting, and Severus couldn't resist melting into the embrace. He stopped seeing the Giant Squid as an ugly beast and began to recognize the beauty of it; it was powerful and mysterious with an enormous body that glistened in the sun. The tentacles that wrapped around Severus were slimy, but they were also incredibly soft.
When he was with the Giant Squid, he stopped caring about the other students bullying him; it didn't matter if no one else understood him, because this incredible creature did. He originally planned on studying and inventing potions in the privacy of his own home, but the thought of leaving the Giant Squid was too much to bear. He would just have to become a professor at Hogwarts.
