The next night during dinner and for nearly a whole week, I had detention with Snape. I could imagine his smug face as I trot in through the door. I wasn't sure yet if I was dreading detention or not but I couldn't exactly tell how I felt about Snape either anymore. Everything has changed since the lake incident where he gave me CPR, then the next night where he touched me so... I'm definitely confused. That was for sure.
He's my professor but he's also a greasy-haired git. yet those intense enchanting and mesmerizing eyes seem to look into my soul and find things I wouldn't want anybody else to see. the night before I made a list of things that I knew about him and I brought it with me today. I knew that he always wore black and he always seemed to have a sneer on his face every single day. Of course, everybody also knew that he always wanted to be the Defence against the dark arts teacher but of course, Dumbledore had put him in potions because he had an Infinity for it.
He was serious all the time and always seemed to pick on the Potter kid as well as the Longbottom kid, in fact, I'm pretty sure he picked on everybody but the Slytherins however he would correct them if they did anything wrong or demeaning.
I want to know more about him. Maybe he likes other colors besides black maybe he has a family maybe he has a best friend perhaps maybe he even had children or a wife. If so I hope I can stop these inappropriate feelings. However, I seriously doubt he's married or has children I've never seen a ring on this finger. Maybe it's best that I don't find out anything more about him and distance myself from him after all, he's my Professor. Since my first year at Hogwarts, I would watch the professors attentively when in class or when in the dining hall or perhaps even in the hallways but for good reason. since first year when Professor Quirrell was here, our old defense against the dark arts professor there was always something off about him. It came out later that Harry Potter had stopped him and that he was a servant to he who must not be named. Gryffindor won that year, they had won the house cup. Harry was always seen with the same friends Ron and Hermione or Neville and Luna. Maybe even Fred and George, the Weasley twin brothers were mischievous.
Harry had a knack for finding trouble and if he tried staying out of it for too long trouble would often find him. Harry Potter would continue to be famous for probably the rest of his life since the next year he found the Chamber of Secrets and of course, everybody found out he could speak Parseltongue. Then everyone thought that he was the heir of Slytherin. He had saved Genny Weasley and a lot of other students that year, with the help of Hermione who herself had been petrified.
The next year Sirius Black had broken out of Azkaban, a lot of people thought that he was my father but I don't believe that to be true. Sirius Black had broke out of prison to come and find Peter Pettigrew who also turned out to be Ron Weasley's rat. Peter Pettigrew had killed Harry Potter's parents or at least lead Voldemort too.
then just last year it was a Triwizard Tournament and Harry Potter won, he would have tied with Cedric Diggory had Voldemort not killed him. many people thought that Harry was lying about Voldemort's return since the ministry kept shutting him down but I had a feeling he was telling the truth. Once again another defense against the dark arts teacher tries to kill Harry and it turns out he wasn't even Mad-Eye Moody but was Barty Crouch jr.
This year was different, a new DADA teacher was starting. Dolores Umbridge. Always had a smile and wore pink. Everything about her screamed evil, there was nothing behind those eyes of hers. Dumbledore really needed to check these professors out before hiring them but I guess in this case it was up to the ministry. I walked slowly to the potions classroom, I stopped just inches away from the door and was about to open it when it was yanked open by Umbridge herself. "Oh, sorry Professor."
I stepped out of her way. "What on Earth are you doing out here? Were you listening in?" I shook my head no and she looked me up and down before giving me a smile that sent cold shivers down my spine. ''I'm here for detention with Professor Snape.'' She looked me up some more before Snape came to the door. ''Move it Black before I count you as tardy and then regrettably you'll have another night of detention.'' I scooted passed them both and went to my seat. Snape closed the door and then went to his desk. ''Tomorrow you'll be going to the regular detention room. For now, eat then you can start cleaning the entire room by hand.'' He said coldly. I could feel the ice in his intent, I ate my dinner while he graded papers, and every now and again he would take a minute to eat in between grading. ''Forgive me sir but I was wondering, why I wouldn't be with you for detention tomorrow?'' I said softly and he looked at me.''I have better things to do than to babysit you, Black. If you absolutely have to know I just don't want to see your face again but I'm stuck with you until you graduate.''
I didn't know who the hell he was talking to but I wasn't about to let him get away with it. ''You think I want to see you every day and every night? You don't think I want to go do something else? It's your fault I'm in here anyway, instead of standing up for me you let Draco ruin my potion, that's why I left the classroom, you were being unfair. If you hate me so much why didn't you just let me drown?!'' I screamed and he looked at me with a shocked expression.
''Do.. Do you blame me for the lake Black?'' He softly said. I sighed. ''No, I don't blame you. I blame Draco. I blame you for not treating me fairly in class or right now..'' I trailed off. He stood up and walked around his desk. ''I know sometimes I go too far, I didn't mean for things to happen the way they happened that day but I have to put some distance between us.'' My brows furrowed in confusion. ''What are you talking about? I'm just your student.'' His face switched to his stern one. ''I know that stupid girl but I saw you're drawing. I know those were my eyes.'' I rolled my eyes and he scoffed. ''I drew them because I had been dreaming of them every night and didn't know what to do with the thoughts of them.'' He smirked. ''Think of my eyes a lot do you?'' I went to reply but I just looked into his eyes. ''Since you saved me, you've been on my mind a lot but I know that is super wrong and if you think this is best, then I will stay silent in class and steer clear when we aren't in class.'' I looked down at his feet, my heart thumping in my ears. He moved closer, I backed up until I was up against a wall. ''I can't have my best student not speaking up in class.''
I blushed as his hands went to either side of my head. ''What are you doing?'' I whispered and he shook his head. ''I don't know.'' He said softly, he leaned down and kissed me, I wrapped my arms around the back of his head, and my mouth parted ways for his tongue, it invaded my mouth, sending electricity all over my body. He backed away, both of us panting. I stared at him in shock before going to grab my bag. ''Don't.'' He protested. ''I'm sorry I don't know what to do with this. I... I won't tell anyone.'' I went to leave but he grabbed me, his arm snaking around my waist tightly. ''Did I scare you?'' I shook my head no. ''No, I'm just... I just... I'm your student and if anyone ever found out... I didn't even know I had these types of feelings for you until a few days ago. I thought it was just because you saved me and it's not and I'm sorry.'' I started rambling but he cut me off with a gentle kiss. I couldn't help but kiss him back. I didn't know what the feeling was exactly but it was spiritual, on a cosmic scale. I was falling in love with my professor and not just any professor but Severus Snape.
There really is something wrong with me.
