Chapter 19
When she got to the Chamber she collapsed and cried. She knew she liked Snape maybe even loved him, but she was a fool to think he felt the same. He had a grown women after him and his heart already belonged to some lucky women that she now had the urge to kill.
"Brianna." she heard Snape call in her mind but she ignored him.
"Bree please let me explain it's not what it looked like." he said but she cut off the link and closed it not wanting to hear him tell her she was a naive child that didn't understand love and feelings.
She stayed down there for hours falling asleep. When she woke it was the middle of the night. She had missed dinner and now she would have to sneak back out. She Disillusioned herself and snuck back out of the chamber and down the hall. She passed Snape pacing in front of the portrait hole arguing with the picture of Salazar.
"I have already told you Severus. Brianna has not been in all night and I will not tell you where the chamber is. Even if I did you cannot open it." Salazar told him.
"I need to find and talk with her. Are you sure you don't know where she is." he ask.
"Yes I think I would know if my heir was in her bed and right now she is not. What did you do anyways." Salazar ask.
"Something stupid." he snarled before leaving. When his foot steps where gone she make herself visible and went to the picture.
"There you are child. Everyone has been worried." he said.
"Sorry I needed to be alone and still do please don't tell anyone I'm back." he begged.
"Of course." he said before opening the door for her to go in. She snuck up in her room and laid down. The last thing she thought was that she wanted Charity Burbage dead.
She woke up the next morning to someone shaking her viciously. She pried her eyes open and saw the blonde hair of Draco.
"What." she said rubbing her eyes.
"Where the hell were you last night. I didn't see you after potions and I was worried sick. Snape didn't know where you were either. You cant just go off on your own when ever you feel like it." he yelled pacing in front of her bed.
"Look Draco I'm sorry ok. I needed to think alone and as you can see I am fine." she said groaning.
"What happened." he ask her.
"I don't want to talk about it. And I'm not going to breakfast either." she said rolling over.
"Alright I'll go down to the kitchen and bring you up something then we have Divination so get up." he said before leaving. Rolling out of bed she showered and dressed threw her hair in a pony tail- not feeling like fixing it today- and went out to the common room where Draco was waiting alone.
"Slumming it today." he ask taking in her appearance. She gave him the middle finger before eating the toast real quick and following him up to Divination.
When they sat down in Trelawney's class Brianna noticed she didn't look very good. She was slumped in her chair and her hair was messier than normal. She slammed a book down on the table.
"Well, carry on! You know what to do! Or am I such a substandard teacher that you have never learned how to open a book!" she said loudly in a high pitched voice. Brianna and Draco stared at each other then back and the teacher.
"Must have got the result of her inspection already." Brianna whispered.
"That was fast." Pansy said.
"Professor is there anything wrong?" Patil ask worried.
"Wrong." She yelled. "Certainly not! I have been insulted, certainly. Insinuations have been made against me. Unfounded accusations leveled. But no there is nothing wrong. Certainly not. I say nothing, of sixteen years devoted service. It has passed apparently unnoticed. But I shall not be insulted, no I shall not."
"But Professor, who's insulting you." Patil ask.
"The establishment." she yelled.
"Do you mean Umbridge." Patil replied.
"Do not speak to me about that woman. Kindly get back to work." she cried out. Mumbling to herself about being on probation.
"She's off her rocker." Draco whispered and Brianna nodded.
DADA after that was uneventful. They read and no one said anything.
At lunch Brianna considered skipping but Draco told her that he didn't care what was going on she needed to eat so reluctantly she let him literally pull her in the great hall and to there table. She had been good at avoiding Snape since yesterday and now she was in the great hall in plan view. She chanced a glance up at the head table and there he was staring intensely at her. Down at the other end of the table was Burbage glancing at Snape looking very put out and pissed. Any appetite that Brianna had left her at that moment.
"Draco I left something." she said quickly before getting up and running out of the great hall towards the dungeons. She didn't see Snape get up at the same time and run out the teachers exit and take a short cut that would head her off. When she rounded the corner she ran into something hard causing her to fall on her ass. She looked up and groaned.
"Damn." when she saw Snape.
"Yeah Damn. We need to talk." he said bending down and hoisted her up dragging her into his room. Looking and warding the door before pushing her in a chair and pacing back and forth.
"Do you have any idea how worried I have been. No one saw you last night at dinner and you missed breakfast and our lesson last night. Where were you." he snarled. Brianna's temper was set lose she hates being lectured. Standing quickly she replied.
"Maybe I was just trying to give you and your girlfriend some alone time. Apparently you've been spending to much time with me and she was getting upset." she yelled back. Fist balled up at her side eyes flashing.
"What the hell are you talking about. I don't have a girlfriend." he told her back.
"Right you know what I'm talking about. Girlfriend, lover, whore whatever you want to call it. Or do you just go around kissing all your coworkers." Brianna yelled.
"No I do not you know me better than that. You know me better than anyone. And I didn't kiss her she threw herself at me." he yelled back slamming his hands down on the desk. She didn't flinch at all just keep glaring.
"I though I knew you. You could have told me earlier that you were already taken, or and I quote 'my heart is already taken' before I developed feelings for you. And don't even say that I'm to young to know love or feelings. I may be 16 but you know mentally I am much older." she ranted pacing the floor. He stared at her and watched her rant and pace back and forth not knowing what to say to shut her up. So he walked up to her spun her around in mid rant grabbed her face and slammed his lips to hers.
Brianna was so stunned by the kiss she froze wide eyed before giving in all anger leaving her immediately and she started kissing him back. There first kiss.
They kissed with passion and fire that consumed them both he backed her into the nearest wall digging one hand in her hair and another around her waist pulling her as close to him as he could. Her hands gripping his silky hair hard and pulling him close both moaning at the sensation. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip biting down gently until she opened allowing his tongue to duel with hers fighting for dominance until he won and explored every corner of her mouth. She moaned and pulled herself impossibly closer until there wasn't an inch between them she could feel his arousal pressing into her hip and it excited her. He loved the taste and feel of her. All the pent up lust he had been building since the first moment he laid eyes on her he let out in this kiss. He knew right than and there that there would never be another women to satisfy him, he wanted no one else but her, forever and she was thinking the exact same thing.
When the need for air became to much he pulled away panting, breath ragged as he pressed his forehead to hers trying to clear his head. It was still to early to go any further.
"It is you." he panted out.
"What is." she said voice just as lost.
"The one my heart belongs to. When I told her my heart was taken I meant you. There isn't anyone else. I don't want anyone but you." he said giving her another quick kiss when they pulled apart she was smiling that beautiful smile that lights his cold heart.
"Good because I don't want anyone else either." she told him. He kissed her forehead before pulling away a little.
"I'm sorry I never told you I just didn't know if you felt the same way. I'm old enough to be your father." he said.
"That doesn't matter to me." she told him.
"I know that now. I'm also sorry you got the wrong impression of that disgusting kiss that bitch gave me. I'm not like most other death eaters Brianna. I don't sleep around with everything that walks. I would never betray you like that. But you are still to young right now for us to be more intimate. But if you'd consent to be mine and mine only we can take this slow. Get to know each other better then when your ready move further." he said cupping her cheek.
"And you promise while were going slow you will be ok with waiting for me to be ready. That could be a while and you're a grown man with needs I don't want.." she said but he cut her off.
"I will be fine having your heart is enough until your ready to give me your body. I've wait this long so far. Longer actually. I would never betray you with someone else Brianna never." he promised.
"Alright I'd like that. Slow first. Can we still kiss." she ask smiling.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." he said before kissing her again.
"We will need to keep this secret for now. No one can know. It's against school rules." he said and she nodded.
"I understand. I wont say anything." she said.
"Wait. What will father say I don't want you getting in trouble if he think-."
"Don't worry about that I have already talked with the dark lord. He knew of our feeling for each other. He said as long as I never hurt you in any way and take things slow he gave his consent." he said and laughed when she gapped at him.
"Yes I was just as shocked. But he knows how the other death eaters can be and wouldn't want that for you. He wants you to be treated like the goddess you are not someone's trophy." he explained and she nodded understanding. They talked and kissed for a while longer before Brianna left for class. Both of them flying on cloud nine after there confessions.
November came quickly and Brianna and Snape grew closer everyday. They didn't go past kissing and that was enough. Nothing else really changed from what there relationship was before except they were closer and opened up more. He told her everything about his childhood and how he thought he loved Potter's mom but realized he didn't. However Dumbledore thinks she is the reason he is loyal to the light which he's not really.
He felt good having someone he could share secrets with and trust completely.
The dark lord had been quiet for a while no meetings were called but Brianna kept writing telling him all about school and anything important he may need to know.
The first Quidditch match was fast approaching and the normal hexing in the hall between the teams was commencing and so was the taunting.
"Got your bed booked in the hospital wing, Weasley." Draco said one day in the hall causing Ron to blush deep red. Snape was helping in his own way booking the field for Slytherin so much that Gryffindor hardly got to practice. It was all so funny. Draco and Brianna had made badges again that said Weasley is our king that went along with a song they planed to sing during the match.
Brianna sat with Pansy during the match since the guys all played. There were other Slytherins around her acting like guards on there fathers orders. Brianna just rolled her eyes at this really all this protecting wasn't necessary.
Both teams came out flying around and taking there places. Once the game was on there way Slytherin started to sing.
Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our king.
Weasley was born in a bin,
He always lets the Quaffle in,
Weasley will make sure we win,
Weasley is our king.
Weasley is our king,
Weasley is our king,
He always lets the Quaffle in,
Weasley is our king.
They sung over and over louder and louder watching and laughing every time Ron dropped the ball which was all the time. He was terrible. After a while Potter finally caught the snitch and won. The Slytherins all booed. Brianna and Pansy ran out on the field when Draco landed and stood next to him.
"Saved Weasley's neck, haven't you? I've never seen a worse keeper…but then he was born in a bin. Did you like my lyrics, Potter?" Draco sneered.
"We wanted to write another couple verses! But we couldn't find rhymes for fat and ugly-we wanted to sing about his mother, see. We also couldn't fit in useless loser either for his father, you know." Draco went on but they ignored him. Brianna was trying not to laugh but she couldn't help it.
"But you like the Weasley's don't you Potter? Spend holidays there and everything, don't you? Cant see how you stand the stink, but I suppose when you've been dragged up by muggles even Weasley's hovel smells okay. Or perhaps you can remember what your mother's house stank like, Potter and Weasley's pig sty reminds you of it." Draco went on. Then all of a sudden Potter and one of the Weasley twins ran forward shoving Brianna out of the way who feel hard to the ground and jumped on Draco beating him up. Brianna looked up to see Umbridge and the other teachers trying to get over to them but a crowd had formed and they couldn't get in quick enough but they saw what was happening.
Brianna watched in horror for a brief moment as her cousin was beat up by two boys. Well that just wouldn't do. She jumped up and tried to pull them apart.
"STOP NOW GET OFF HIM." she yelled but they didn't pay attention they reacted not seeing who she was and she got hit in the face knocking her down vision blurred. She heard several people yell her name but she didn't look to see who it was, still on the ground next to Draco she took out her wand and yelled.
"IMPEDIMENTA." blasted Potter and the Weasley twin backwards. She was holding her face with one hand, her nose was broke and bleeding. Both boys looked at her in horror to see they had hit a girl. The teachers were there at this time.
"What do you think your doing? I've never seen behavior like this." Hooch yelled at them. Umbridge was pissed as was McGonagall who was picking up her two students and yelling at them. Snape was at Brianna and Draco's side instantly.
"Are you alright." he ask concerned looking at Brianna then Draco who was in worst shape moaning and curled into a ball.
"I'm fine I think." she told him.
"Let me see." he told her trying to pry her hand from her face but she shook her head.
"Draco first his worst off." she said and he sighed helping Draco and Brianna to there feet one arm around them both for support so they could stand and walk.
"How are they Snape." Umbridge ask looking at them both.
"Not sure I'm taking them to the hospital wing." he said and she nodded. Together Snape helped them both walk to the hospital. Potter and the Twins following behind with McGonagall still yelling as well as Umbridge in there wake.
When they reached the Hospital Poppy started working on Draco healing all his injured quickly.
"Now let me see." Snape said sitting Brianna on a bed next to Draco. She complied this time and he growled when he saw her broke nose. Pulling out a potion he made her drink it before healing her noses and vanishing the blood. When he was done it looked and felt like nothing happened. Poppy finished up with Draco before checking Potter and the twin stating they were fine. Once everyone was deemed better McGonagall struck.
"Well, I have never seen such disgraceful exhibition. Two onto one. Then hitting a girl. Explain yourselves." she yelled causing them to flinch back.
"Malfoy provoked us? And we didn't mean for Brianna to get hurt." Harry said stiffly.
"Provoked you. He'd just lost, hadn't he, of course he wanted to provoke you! But what on earth could he have said that justified what you two did. And what you want to do if not been held back." she yelled to Harry and both Twins.
"He insulted my parents and Harry's mother." George snarled glaring and Malfoy who still laid in the bed.
"But instead of leaving it to madam Hooch to sort out, you two decided to give exhibition of muggle dueling, did you? Have you any idea what you've-" McGonagall said.
"Hem. Hem." Umbridge interrupted and everyone looked at her.
"May I help, Minerva." she said.
"Help, What do you mean help?" she ask.
"Why I thought you might be grateful for a little extra authority." Umbridge said.
"Well you thought wrong. Now you two had better listen closely. I do not care what provocation Malfoy offend you, I do not care if he insulted every member you posses, your behavior was disgusting and I am giving each of you a week's worth of detention! Do not look at me like that Potter you deserve it and if either of you ever." McGonagall yelled.
"Hem. Hem." Came Umbridge again. McGonagall slowly turned.
"Yes." she said.
"I think they deserve rather more than detention." Umbridge said.
"But unfortunately it is what I think that counts, as they are in my house, Delores." she replied.
"Well, Actually Minerva. I think you'll find that what I think does count. Educational Decree number twenty-five." Umbridge said.
"Not another one." McGonagall spat.
"Well yes. As a matter of fact, Minerva it was you who made me see that we needed another one. You remember how you overrode me, when I was unwilling to allow Gryffindor team to re-form? How you took your case to Dumbledore. Well I couldn't have that. I contacted the Minister at once, and he agreed with me that the High Inquisitor has to have the power to strip students of privileges, or she-that is to say, I-would have less authority than common teachers. And you see now don't you how right I was in attempting to stop the Gryffindor team to re-form. Dreadful tempers. Anyways this new decree gives me right to supreme authority over all punishments, sanctions and privileges and the right to alter other teachers punishments. Now I really think I will have to ban these three from playing Quidditch ever again." Umbridge said. Brianna and Draco smiled at each other and Snape smirked. Potter and the two Weasley's gasp.
"Ban us. From playing ever again." Potter ask.
"Yes, Mr. Potter, I think a lifelong ban ought to do the trick. You and the Weasley twins. The other would have jumped on Mr. Malfoy as well if he was not being held down and Miss. LeStrange was hurt in the process for simply trying to break it apart. Now I want your brooms I will keep them locked in my office hand them over." Umbridge said and they reluctantly did.
"The rest of the team can continue I saw no violence from any of them. Well good afternoon to you all." she said before marching out.
Poppy released everyone moments later and Snape escorted Brianna and Draco to the common room where they were bombarded by there friends.
