Severus Snape x Reader • he can't keep us apart

Chapter 4

The rest of my day flew past as I was now on my way to Umbridges office for detention, I walked up the stairs to the second floor and I could swear that I heard a painting snigger "good luck" In a sarcastic tone. I slowly made my way through the corridor and hesitantly knocked on the big oak door to miss toads office and as I heard a squeaky voice from In the room call "come in" I slowly opened the door.

I opened the door to reveal a literal headache of a room, the walls were all pink with paintings of little cats meowing. I could seriously imagine that this is what Umbridgs brain looked like it was seriously dreadful, and there in the middle of the room sheepishly grinning from ear to ear sat my absolute worst nightmare herself, Miss Dolores Umbridge.

"Hello dear" she said in that high pitched voice that just made my blood boil "take a seat" I sat down not even bothering to say hello "now that's not proper manners dear" she proceeded to say sounding to cheery for my liking "oh right, I'm so sorry Miss Umbridge! good evening what will you be having me do on this fine night?" I answered sounding over the top sarcastic and giving her a fake smile. She immediately dropped her smile and looked me straight in the eye as if she was trying to place a non-verbal curse on me, "you will be writing lines for me today" I started rummaging in my bag for a quill "oh no dear, that won't be necessary I'll be providing your quill" she said placing a quill with no ink and a piece of paper in front of me "won't I be needing ink professor?" I said as I took the quill "oh no there's no need for that, this is a special quill" she carried a scary smile on her face now "alright then what will I be writing"
"Why don't you just start off with 'I must not disrespect my teacher"" my hand instantly gripped the quill tighter as I felt my blood starting to boil again "and how many times would you like me to write it" I said through gritted teeth "as many as it needs to properly sink in" I nodded my head and placed the quill on the paper starting to write, as I was writing the first word my wrist started to sting and itch I wasn't sure what was going on so I finished writing the sentence only to find that my arm was now burning intensely. I flipped my arm to see what was going on only to find that the words "i must not disrespect my teacher" we're slowly carving into my arm my eyes widened at the site and even though it stung like hell I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. So I continued.

After about the tenth line I could already feel my blood starting to drip down my arm onto the desk I knew that this was going to scar and my eyes were starting to water from the pain but I didn't stop I kept writing I didn't want to give that bitch any satisfaction from this and I wasn't going to! I was at my 21 line when I had to start forcing myself to carry on writing because I couldn't bring myself to anymore "I think its sunk in now" I said giving up on writing not wanting to look at her, she slowly looked at the desk to see the pile of blood "oh yes, very good you may go." She said with a big smirk plastered on her face once more, I packed up my things and left her office without another word.

I immediately made my way to Snape's office remembering my second detention of the night, I could feel a hot tear run down my cheek but I wiped it away quickly not indenting on ever telling anyone about this. I finally arrived at the big oak door and knocked without hesitation "enter" I heard once again from inside the room. I opened the door and walked straight up to his desk asking what he wants me to do, I didn't have any patients for it anymore, I was in pain and I just wanted to get this over with. "You can organize my supplies closet" he said pointing over to the little room. Without answering I made my way over to the closet and started doing my job.

It had been about 45 minutes and I was finally finished placing the last bezoar on the shelf, I organized everything by alphabetical order and I was quite proud of myself "I'm all done" I said poking my head out of the closet. Snape slowly got up off his chair and walked over to me, I stepped out of the closet giving him access to see my brilliant work. "Skye" came his voice from inside the closet "do you care to tell me why there is a puddle of blood on my floor" the first thing my mind went to was the fact that he had said my actual name! It was so hot hearing him say that. But then My heart instantly dropped, god I'm such an idiot so much for not letting anyone find out. "oh it's nothing I'm sorry I'll clean it!" I walked over to get a towel but he stopped me by grabbing my wrist I let out a loud welp from the pain pulling back my arm, he looked at me with a worried expression, then at my arm and back at me "show me" a worried tone now in his voice "no, it's fine" I replied hoping he would just let it be "show me. Now" He started getting angry again, god did this man knows how to change up his emotions. I knew then that I wasn't getting out of this, I slowly lifted my robe from my arm and showed him what had just happened barely an hour ago. Snape's eyes grew wide and his face expression softened "did she do this to you?" He said starting to sound angry again already knowing the answer, I looked away ashamed of myself for letting this happen. I was shocked as I felt myself get pulled into a hug by strong arms, he rapped his arms around me and I could feel myself getting emotional as hot tears started to run down my face I let out a small sob into his chest. "Shhh, it's okay I've got you." He started stroking my hair while his words comforted me like no others have in a while "I won't ever let her hurt you again" he whispered in my ear, my head shot up at him in shock of his kindness. He looked me deep in the eyes. I wasn't sure what was going on but I definitely wasn't going to stop it. I raised my eyes as he softly grabbed my chin With his fingers and pulled my face up towards him, before I knew it I closed my eyes  and could feel his soft tender lips against my own... I never wanted this moment to end.

After what felt like the best few seconds of my life he pulled away and looked at me "you know everything don't you?" I said feeling a little embarrassed, The professor gave me a big smirk "every single detail".
