Falling Hopelessly

Chapter 10

~No One's POV~

Harry was rushing out of the Great Hall to his first class of the day, this morning surprisingly hadn't been eventful and he hoped that it would carry on that way for the rest of the day.
He reached the door to McGonagall's classroom and pushed it open and made his way to his seat. He sat down and enjoyed the moment of silence due to him being the only person in the classroom except for McGonagall, who was sitting atop her desk as a cat.
Harry quietly cursed at himself when he noticed his Head of House making her way towards him, not a cat anymore, "Good morning, Mr. Potter. Excited for the game today?" Harry looked up at her and smiled, "Yes actually, hopefully it could make good use of distracting me from things for a bit." McGonagall looked at him sadly and put a hand on his shoulder and walked towards the door, readying herself to greet the incoming students

Harry sighed as him and his friends were walking out of Transfiguration class, Ron had somehow managed to muck up the easy spell they were told to practice on today resulting in his hair being pink for the day.
They were now trying to make their way to Hagrid's hut for their Magical Beasts class, sadly it was a double class with Slytherin.  Before they reached their destination however, Harry turned to Ron, "No matter what comes out of Malfoy's mouth today we need to remain calm, we can't have either of us sitting out of this game just because of Malfoy." Ron knew Harry was right but still grunted and agreed. They continued on their way to Hagrid's hut.
Once they reached their destination however, Malfoy appeared to have already been waiting for Harry. Malfoy angrily walked over to the trio and grabbed The Golden Boy by the collar of his shirt, "You think you're so special because I was the one to get in trouble for that fight we had the other day don't you, Potter." Harry glared at the blonde and grabbed his wrist hard, "Listen, you prick. I don't have time for your stupid games today. Now, if you would kindly let go of me and bugger off, that would be highly appreciated." Malfoy looked taken aback and without a second thought punched Harry right in the nose, Harry stumbled back a bit and held Ron in place knowing he would more than likely pounce on the bastard. Harry looked up at him, blood dripping from his nose and in a mocking tone said, "Wait till my father hears about this." and smiled and started laughing. Malfoy looked like he was ready to give it another go but just huffed and ran off like a child.
Hagrid come running up to the trio, concern written across his features, "You alrigh' 'Arry?" he said while looking at his nose. Harry nodded, "It should stop in a moment." Hagrid nodded and stomped his way over to Malfoy, the trio now laughing hysterically as Malfoy got an earful and sent away.
The rest of class went by rather quick and uneventful now that the arrogant blonde was sent away, Harry sighed heavily and shook his head as they were walking back into the castle for lunch. Harry looked to his friends and said that he wasn't feeling well and that he was going to lie down until their next class, they bid him farewell and went their separate ways. Harry unable to clean himself up at the moment made his way to his and Snape's room.

~Snape's POV~

'Well the first two classes went by wonderfully.' I thought to myself sarcastically, he had to deal with the first years for his first two classes and was now left with half if his cauldrons destroyed and a mess all over his classroom. I quietly groaned as I reached the door of the Great Hall for lunch, quickly making my way to the Professor's table. As I sat I glanced at the Gryffindor table to see if Harry had made an effort to eat anything, only to find that the boy wasn't there.
I felt the disappointment cover my face but as quickly as it came I set my mask back in place and carried on with my meal. 'I suppose i could ask him about it later, though i don't know how he would react to an actual display of minor concern.'
I sighed and stood once I finished the last bite of my food and excused myself. I tried to make it to my personal chambers to grab a few things and have a moment to myself.

~No one's POV~

Snape had made it to his chambers without interruption and was highly pleased with that, he stepped in and to his surprised found Harry standing in the living room shirtless and shocked at the sound of the door opening. Snape took a moment to look at him and to his shirt which sat on the back of the couch, his shirt was stained with blood and his nose having dried blood coming from it.
"What the bloody hell happened to you, Potter?" Harry scoffed and turned away, glad that he had his glamours still in tact, "That prick Malfoy punched me during Hagrid's class." Harry ran a hand through his hair frustratingly, "And of course I can't do anything about it because not only do I have a Quidditch match today but because he's one of your beloved Slytherins." Harry gritted his teeth in frustration and went to clean up, Snape following behind him, "Surely that giant oaf said something to Draco?" Harry chuckled and nodded, not looking back, "Yes, he did, but i bet you 10 sickle that i'll still see Malfoy on a broom later. Had I chosen to do something about Malfoy, I assure I would be sitting on the bench!" Harry turned quickly to go to his room to get dressed, forgetting that the Potion's Master was behind him. They both fell to the floor with a loud 'Thud'. Harry and Snape locked eyes and stayed like that for a minute, Harry's eyes flicked down to Severus' lips and quickly back to his eyes, a blush now settling onto Harry's face. Snape lifted and eyebrow at the young man and a devilish smirk appeared on the man's face, "Something the matter, Potter?" before Snape knew what was happening he felt a pair of soft lips crashing down onto his own. Snape's eyes widened and he stopped moving, Harry stopping the kiss and realizing what he had just done launches himself up in total fear. "I- I'm sorry." he quickly looked down and almost flew to his room, slamming the door behind him.
Snape sitting there dumbfounded tried to process what just happened, he slowly stood trying to ignore the heat rising to his face. Snape turned to look at Harry's door, still in shock.
He shook his head and quickly gathered the few things he came for and left.
Meanwhile in Harry's room, he was mentally beating himself up at what he had just done. "How could I be so stupid?! What in the bloody hell was I thinking?!!" he growled and quickly threw on fresh clothes and decided he would pop into the Great Hall for at least some food before he made himself actually sick during his game.
