Blood Moon

Emotions & Results

A/N: Did I not promise I would stock up on chapters?

Severus had made it back to his dorm before he broke down and thankfully everyone was still in the village.

Severus threw himself on his bed, shut the curtains, silenced them and screamed his heart out, so many emotions battled and swirled with each other.

Part of him felt awful for talking to his dominant that way while the other part was still raging and screaming for him to hurt Lupin in even a small way.

To make him feel pain like he and his friends had made Severus feel.

Yet, another part of the young Fae craved physical affection from his mates, but at the same time felt panicked at the very thought.

Throughout Severus' life, touch had always ended up causing him pain with the only exception being his mother.

Severus hated that he wanted their attention, especially considering he knew what it was like to receive it.

Every single time he had been the focus of their attention, his mates were humiliating him and laughing at him, calling Severus names and mocking him.

His needs and instincts clashed with his trauma.

The massive battle of emotions battle inside him swirling and pulling him under.

They were choking him.

He couldn't breath, couldn't feel.

His body was far off and everything was going dark.

When Severus woke, it was the next morning.

The Slytherin frowned in confusion as he realized he was still dressed in his cloak and robe, not to mention his shoes, but before he could wonder, his confrontation with Lupin came flooding back and he viciously slammed his shields down to keep from collapsing again.

Glaring angrily at nothing, Severus got out of bed and did his daily rituals before getting his bag ready and heading for the great hall.

The young Fae slipped in with a crowd of upper years and stayed in the group until he reached his table before sitting down.

His results should come either this morning or tomorrow morning and Severus almost felt sick with anticipation.

The young Slytherin kept his head bowed and quickly ate, glancing up every now and again in excitement, seeing if the owls had arrived yet.

He was so focused on his impatience he didn't notice two conflicted eyes watching his every move until the flap of wings gained their attention, announcing the arrival of the post.

When the amber eyes finally looked back at Severus it was to see him slip something hastily into his robe pocket, as a very official owl flew off, leaving the owner of the eyes confused.

Severus could barely contain himself the rest of the day as the letter seemed to burn in his pocket and he had to restrain himself from tearing it open until after he was back in his dorm.

He broke the seal with shaking hands and quickly read through it, feeling the knot in his stomach loosen with each word he read, being replaced by elation.

Congratulations heir Lunar, on behalf of the British Ministry Of Magic, of having completed your magical education. To remove the trace on your wand, simply touch the tip of your wand to the seal at the bottom of the missive and say dimitto semita.

May magic guide your way.

Morris Monty.

Head of Magical Education.

Severus felt almost faint as he saw that he was now free, that his escape was mere hours away.

Scrambling Severus got out his wand, almost dropping it in his haste, pressing the tip of it to the seal before breathlessly whispering.

"Finite tracorum!"

The Fae's wand flashed purple, before the magic shattered and left Severus feeling lighter, like the last chain that had been keeping him from freedom fell away.

The young Fae couldn't control his glee as he danced and sung around the dorm in pure happiness, singing a song to thank Yue.

Luckily everyone else was at dinner so no one saw Severus twirling and gliding with a grace that put ballerinas to shame.

Once he had calmed, Severus instantly started sorting his things, getting rid of all the old clothes in his trunk, tossing them in the fireplace to burn and replaced them with his new ones before reorganizing everything.

He stacked all of his school books on his desk along with his Hogwarts uniform and the ingredients he had taken from the school storage.

The now ex Slytherin wrote a note to the headmaster.

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,

I, Severus Tobias Snape, hereby take my leave from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I have found your curriculum and faculty horrifically lacking, aswell as the conduct you yourself operate by and as such I have decided to seek more adequate education elsewhere.

Yours sincerely,

Severus Tobias Snape, former student of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Severus took an unholy glee as he sealed the letter and placed it on top of his old school robe before quickly getting ready, planning to leave while everyone went for dinner.

Severus has passed his N.E.W.Ts and is leaving Hogwarts. Though, it has to be asked. Will the young Fae make it out without complications? After all, on a full moon, things usually dulled glimmer in false hope and things creeping in the night can complicate even the most well laid plans....
