The Dark Lord's Side
Chapter 5: Confession of More than the Truth
The first thought Ginny had was 'I just cheated on Harry and kissed Severus at the same time. OMG!'
Then she thought 'I called him Severus and I kissed him.'
Her third thought before fainting was 'He must hate me and I kissed him.'
She never hit the floor though because Severus Snape had followed her home. It took him a few seconds to realize what happened and then a few more seconds before he found he liked it. He followed her at that thought and was glad he did because she had just fainted. He laid her on the couch and covered her with a quilt he knew to be hand-crafted by Molly Weasley.
He sat on one of the chairs and watched as she woke up. When she saw him she blushed her famous Weasley red and fainted again, much to his amusement.
She woke up for the second time to find him with a slight smile on his stone-like face.
"So, you don't hate me?" was all she could choke out.
He loved how the roles were reversed and replied with "On the contrary, I quite like you and the kiss."
Normally he wouldn't reveal that much to anybody, but he wanted to see her face as he responded. She looked relieved, but then blushed again at his response. He then got up and went by her side to kiss her again. This time he controlled himself though.
She looked a little scared as she pulled away and he couldn't help but growl as he figured out why. "I'll leave you alone! Go back to your precious POTTER. It won't be the first time a Potter has taken away someone I loved." he quietly finished.
"Love..." she said in response.
He just then noticed what he had said and growled again in frustration, he loved her. He knew he couldn't just let her escape, but didn't know what to do.
"Yes, love. I didn't realize it until just now, but I have fallen in love with you." he said looking at her, showing her all his pain and hurt.
They then realized they had an audience as he was thrown back against the wall by some unseen curse.
"HIM! He is a TRAITOR! How could you KISS HIM?! I thought you loved ME! Not that bastard!" Harry yelled, advancing towards her.
He raised his hand about to slap her when he was also thrown against the wall.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER! She has done nothing wrong! I didn't expect it! She just kissed me for the first time not twenty minutes ago. You are a self-righteous bastard, Potter! I had hoped you were more like Lily, but it seems you are exactly like the ass who stole your mother from me! I don't care what you say, but touch me or her and I will rip you to shreds after you defeat the Dark Lord!" Snape said pouring out all his hatred of Harry and James into a few well said sentences.
"You loved my mom?" Harry asked now wary.
"Yes, but your father took her away from me just like you try to take Ginny away from me now. Albus trusted me for a reason, I never killed him out of hate, but because of necessity. He ordered me to kill him because he had been cursed by that damned ring and would die within the year. He wanted me to sacrifice myself to save Draco, his unmarred soul. He was my father in all ways, but blood. Do you believe me now? Do you believe I'm not a traitor?" he asked, his chest heaving with the effort of telling his story.
"I believe you and I love you!" Ginny said climbing off the couch to comfort him.
"L... lo... love?" Harry said, amazed.
"Yes, I'm sorry Harry, but my place is with him. Please show everyone your memory of this, to prove his innocence. Please, I'm begging you." she pleaded now hugging Severus with her head against his chest.
"I will. Good-bye!" he said still astounded as he apparated to the front of the HQ.
A/N: Well that was an intense chapter. Please review! Sorry if that confused any of you. :(
