The Dark Lord's Side

Chapter Four: Together?


When Severus Snape awoke the next morning all his muscles were on fire. When he tried to get out of bed, he fell back. He then questioned how he got to bed, he could recall no memory of getting their. When he realized this he meekly called out "Ginny?"

"Yes, Professor?" she responded coming into his room.

He breathed a sigh of relief as she said professor, if they did anything she would have called him Severus. "Um... how did I get to bed?" he asked unsure.

"I levitated you. You had passed out in the middle of tea. I didn't leave just in case." she responded.

"Thank you! Can you help me?" he reluctantly asked.

"Sure, hold on." she said coming to his side and taking one of his arms and slinging it over her shoulder before helping him to walk. They went out to the sitting room where Ginny had the paper set out and two cups of coffee.

"How long have you been up?" he questioned.

"Around two hours, I rise early. Look at the main story." she said gesturing to the Daily Prophet.

He looked at the said paper and the corners of his lips turned down. "You made the cover, how?"

"Harry, Hermione, and Lupin took the liberty of making sure my story was proved. Normally the death of werewolf isn't big, but the turning of a ministry official's only daughter qualifies, especially when she was Harry Potter's girlfriend." she said smirking.

"Don't you understand what you have done?!" he asked exasperatedly.

"Yes, I do!" she snapped back.

'Why does this girl keep surprising me? I've known her and her brothers for years. Why did it have to be her? She and William are the only two I don't despise, yet she is the one who has to show up.' he let out a sound of frustration while thinking.

"Professor? I'm sorry! I'll go make breakfast, sorry again." she apologized before going into the kitchen.

"Ginny, I'm sorry as well. I should control my temper, but I have worn myself out over the years working as a double agent. I do hope that when this is all over, you can go back to your life before with Potter and everyone you were friends with. I just hope I can live that long." Severus told her as he went back to feeling sorry for himself and thinking about the bitterness he had used when speaking of her going back to Potter.

"SEVERUS SNAPE! Don't you EVER talk like that again! I thank you for your wishes for me, but get over yourself long enough to think you will live! I don't know if I could deal with another person close to me dieing. You are too much of a friend, maybe more, for me to lose you." she surprised herself with her outburst and what she had said.

When she thought of it she felt it was true. Ginny Weasley was falling for Severus Snape.

"Ginny..." he attempted weakly.

"Shh!" she hushed him before walking over to him.

Shocking herself and Severus, she bent down and kissed him. He found he couldn't stop once they started and she pulled away reluctantly.

"I've got to go." she said before turning and leaving.
