Chap. 5

Severus woke up to a scream from down the hallway. As he got out of bed he grabbed his wand. "Lumos." He opened the door and walked, following the direction of the screams. It was coming from Michaela's room! He wasn't going to knock and wait for a response he wanted to make sure she was okay. He heard another blood curdling scream and broke down the door. There overtop of Michaela was a tall man with brown hair. He had his hands around her neck, choking her. "Get your hands off her before I kill you right here." The man turned his head to look at Severus and laughed. "This is who you chose instead of me?" The man laughed again and pointed his wand at Severus. Before the man could even do anything, Severus hit him with one of his own spells. The man yelled in pain as his arm started to bleed and threw Michaela across the room. He didn't even put up a fight. He grabbed his broom and fled out the window yelling something about being back and revenge. Severus ran over to Michaela. "Are you alright?" Said Severus, panicking, hoping she wasn't hurt. "Let me help you up." She stood up holding her head. "Yeah I'm- I'm alright." There were tears in her eyes. He brought her into an embrace, stroking her hair. "Everything is alright now, I'm not going to let him hurt you. This isn't going to EVER happen again. Shh It's okay." She sobbed into his chest. "Why don't you come back and sleep in my room tonight?" Severus promised himself he was NOT going to let anything bad happen to her again. "a-a-alright." and they made their way back to Severus' room.

"If you do not feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with me I'll take the couch." Severus did not want to make Michaela uncomfortable since they hadn't talked about sleeping in the same bed before. He wanted to be a gentlemen. "No, it's fine. I'd prefer to sleep next to you if that's okay." She said. I've never had a girl sleep in the same bed as me before. Severus thought. Be a gentlemen. They slipped into bed and to his surprise she came up cuddling right next to him. Not knowing what to do on a count of him pretty much having no relationship experience, he pulled her up so that her head rested on his chest and wrapped his arms around her. Severus looked down and saw her smiling. For the first time in a long long time he drifted to sleep happy with his love in his arms.
