Callie dragged you back up to the common room for a bit and pushed you to tell her about how you brewed a perfect potion.
"Callie I told you I just did please stop asking"
"Fine but I can tell you are hiding something miss Y/L/N"
"Oh whatever" you laugh and roll your eyes "hey Callie I have a question"
"Yeah of course what's up?"
"Do you know anything about the room of requirement?"
"Um not much just what I have read about why?"
"I'm just curious I heard some people talking about it at breakfast and was intrigued"
"Okay well what class do you have next?"
"I have a study hall, how about you?"
"I'm taking another transfiguration class"
"Oh okay well we better get going soon"
"Yeah let's go"
You two walk for a while and then split into your different directions. You walked into your class to see some other students sitting at various tables the class had students of every age and is ran by whatever professor had the time. Class was supposed to start 6 minutes ago and no professor had entered. You had started reading through the book you had obtained in potions, it had funny words and spells along with different ways to brew potions. You had been reading for what seemed like moments when you heard a voice from behind you.
"Y/N? Is that you?"
You cover up your book and turn abruptly
"Draco? What do you want? Why are you here?"
"How are you?"
"Draco I have no interest talking to you and you know it."
"I know but-"
"But what? It's that simple Draco and if you ever wanted to actually talk to me you would have tried in the past two years but you haven't"
"I know, I know"
"Obviously you don't know"
"I just wanted to talk to you.."
"About what we were never friends according to you and to be honest I.."
"Mr. Malfoy aren't you supposed to be in charms class." You heard a familiar voice echo behind you.
"Professor Snape sir I was just"
"Leaving" you interrupt
Draco looks at you with pain in his eyes and exits the class

(Dracos pov)
I haven't talked to y/n since that night. The night at the ball. I never got to tell her what actually happened. I went to go get drinks and when I walked up to the table I ran into Pansy I always disliked her she had an obvious fascination with me and it was rather annoying.
"Draco how are you?"
"I'm fine."
"Here let me grab you a drink"
I rolled my eyes as she handed me a glass. I took a sip and it tasted odd. All of the sudden I felt as I was incapable of controlling my body and I was dragged out of the great hall. Not only did I feel like I was out of control of my body but I felt as though I was floating. I had no idea what I was saying or doing but next thing I know pansy was kissing me and y/n walked around the corner by then I realized what had happened. Love potion. Pansy gave me a love potion. By the time I realized it was too late and y/n was gone. I just wanted to tell y/n and hopefully gain our friendship back or at least get some closure before the dark lord makes me do anything else.

Snape walks to the desk and takes his seat
You write him a little note and when nobody was looking tossed it at him
-hey you-
He glares at you and puts a charm on the paper so nobody sees it and tosses it back
-hello-
This goes back and forth for a bit
-you didn't tell me you were teaching this class-
- you did not ask-
-oh whatever my love-
-you are not going to let that go are you?-
-no my love-
-Y/N-
-professor-
-meet me outside in 3 minutes-
You look up and he his missing from his seat
You wait a few minutes and walk outside and someone pulls you into a doorway
"Jesus sev you just gave me a heart attack"
"Y/n I need to tell you something"
"Of course anything"
" you have to promise what I say doesn't leave this" he pauses "doorway"
You giggle "yes yes okay what is it tell me pleaseee"
"Y/N I'm serious"
"Is everything alright" you say and take a step back
He grabs you and pulls you into a hug
"You want to know the real reason I said my love?"
"You were kidding I know sevy"
"No, I like you y/n"
You pull away from him
"What, Severus- I" I stutter not knowing how to respond.
A look of horror spreads across his face
"I have to go please forget I said that"
"No sev please don't go!"
But he is already down the hallway
You know how he feels about love, you know about Lily, you would never tell Harry however. You know he doesn't let people in and you feel like an idiot not saying anything and freezing on him. You try running after him but your feet are stuck.
"Asshole" you smile at yourself but you desperately try and brake the curse so you can run up to him and hug him. Breathing in his soothing smell feeling his strong arms around your body and feeling his chin rest on your head but you can't just yet.
The second the curse breaks you run in the direction Snape left in and turn a corner and bump into someone..
"Draco sorry... I have to run"
"Please wait.." but just as fast as you bump into him you are gone
You run to snapes private room and press your ear up to the door and you hear...crying?
"Severus please open the door it's me"
"Leave"
"Sev please for me open the door"
"Get out"
"No sev open the door now."
Silence
"Sevy please"
Silence
"Goddamn it sev"
You unlock the door which you should have done in the first place but just couldn't think of. Severus is sitting in his desk chair with his head in his hands and when he looks up at you you see tears in his eyes
"Severus please don't cry"
"I told you to get out!" he stands up and grabs you by the collar and pushes you against a wall.
You start to tear up as well.
"Severus please just listen"
He drops his hands and walks back to his chair and pours a glass of amber liquid. He uses a spell to push you out of the room and close the door
"Severus I love you.." you said your head resting on the hard cold door. You once again try and get into his room and somehow manage to about 15 minutes later.
Sev is holding a picture and looks at you with angry eyes.
Get. Out. Now.
