Forbidden Spells

Under Protection

"It's okay Dani, let go. Sweetheart you have to go before they get here. Please GO"

"No. I can't leave you. I nee- I need you here, with me. Please mum don't do this"

"I will see you soon my angel. Now GO, before it's too lat-"

The door swings open and a flash of green flies past me. I turn around to see my mother, now lifeless on the floor.

"SOMEONE HELP ME" I SCREAM

I wake up with a jolt, I gasp for air. A single tear runs down my cheek. It wasn't real but she is still gone and I could not do anything to save her. If only I was there, maybe I could have done something... anything.

I look around me, I was not in my chambers. I scan around to gain any clue as to where I was. Then my heart skipped a beat. I knew EXACTLY where I was, but why? I sit up in the bed that was actually super comfortable and hold the blood red sheets that were made from velvet. I hear someone approach the bedroom.

"You're awake, Good. How do you feel?" Professor Snape asks

"I've felt better honestly" I say with a neutral tone, I was trying to ignore the fact that I was in HIS chambers, in HIS bed. I really wanted to know why and how I got here.

"You could just ask the question you know" he says, staring at me

"I'm sorry?" I say back, full of confusion

"You want to know why you are here, don't you" he asks, still staring at me

"W-well yes actually" I reply, with a slight shake in my voice

"Follow. Me" he says with a stern tone, he heads out the door

"God. This man is so intense" I think to myself as I walk out the door to follow him, I walk down a corridor full of Green and Black colouring; I forgot he was head of Slytherin house. I see him stood by a fireplace with one arm resting on the wall. He looked amazing. He turned around and as quickly as I could I stared at the floor in a effort to make it look like I was not just admiring him. He signals for me to sit down.

"I brought you here last night because you were almost killed, you yet again acted without thinking. You are reckless and quite frankly foolish" he says, his tone is sincere yet annoyed. What did he mean by "yet again" how did he know what happened before... Unless-

"Unless It was me who saved you that time as well" he said, holding my gaze

I had a feeling it might have been him, but why? why would he go out of his way to try and protect me? I think to myself. The further question of how did he just finish my sentence swayed in my mind. I dismiss it, maybe he just has some kind of power like mind reading or something.

"How did you know I was in trouble" I ask, slowly looking up from the floor

"I followed you. I saw you and your little friends having a dispute and I knew you would act on your emotions." he says, annoyed.

"Firstly, they are not my friends. I have no friends. Secondly, what was I meant to do? Just let them walk over me and threaten me? I had to do something to prove I am not a coward." I say, my voice trembling.

"That's exactly why you are foolish. They wanted you to get fired up, If you would have just walked away none of this would have happened" he says.

I begin to shake with anger, my fist ball up and I clench my jaw tightly.

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? IF IT WASNT FOR ME MY MOTHER MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE- THAT IT'S ALL MY FAULT THIS HAS HAPPENED?" I scream at him. I quickly stand up from the chair and throw my hand to hit the wall. I feel a thud on my knuckle, it was not the wall I hit.
