Love Can Be Deadly

Trip

Slowly opening my eyes and adjusting my eyes to the ray of sunlight shining through the window, I yawn and sit up straight to stretch my arms out. Before I could get up from the bed, I check the time to see that's its 7 in the morning.

"The twins don't open until 9." I mutter under my breath. In the meantime, decide to shower and change. I grab a plain long sleeve purple shirt, black jeggings with matching panties and bra, I head for the bathroom to start the shower.

Once I enter the shower, I felt relieved and good as new. My arm is sore but its probably how I slept last night.
'Did I twist my arm while sleeping?'

I take another ten minutes in the shower than usual before finally getting out, but there was one thing missing.

"My towel!" I wanted to make a run for my bedroom but I don't know if anyone is awake or if they're just out here waiting for breakfast. I stay in the shower for a bit trying to think of a solution but nothing comes up. I can air dry but that will take forever and I'm not planning on using my pajamas to dry myself. I mean I can but that will be my last option.

As much as I want to make a run for it, I'm not willing to risk losing whatever dignity I have left.
'Well, clothes it is.'

I pull back the curtain but regret it when I see Lucius standing there. I cover myself with the curtain as quickly as possible.
"What the hell are you doing in here!?"

"Did you know there are locks for doors? I should show you how to use them." His eyes do not leave mine and its irritating.

"I know how to use them! Just get out!"

"I can see why Severus chose you." He says before throwing a towel at me. Before he could walk out the door, I grab a shampoo bottle and throw it towards him but it hit the door when he closed it.

Once I dry myself off and change into my clothes, I exit the bathroom to look for Lucius but he's nowhere to be found. I head back to my room to find some shoes instead.

I checked the time again but it seems like time is going by so slow. It's only 7:46 in the morning.
"I'll just head to Minerva's quarters then."

As I'm exiting through the painting, I hear my name being called.
"Ms. (L/n)."

'Oh no.'
I turn around slowly only to see Severus standing right behind me.
"Oh, hi Professor." I really don't want to talk to him.

"I need to speak with you."

"I'm sorry Professor, but I'm busy at the moment. So if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way." Before I could turn the corner, he grabs my wrist.
"Hey!" I try yanking my arm back but he starts pulling me with him down the halls.
"Let go of me!"
He doesn't say anything but his grip is getting tighter.

I could see his classroom straight ahead but I don't want to go in there since yesterday's...talk.

"Let me go. I don't want to do this right now." I try to pull my arm away or even stand still but I'll definitely fall over. I just want to see Minerva.
When we pass his classroom, I realize we're headed to his quarters.
'Great. Just what I needed.'

Once we make it to his quarters, he mutters the password and pushes me inside.
"You can just say ladies first instead of shoving me inside your quarters."
He rolls his eyes at me.

Once he's inside, he gently closes the door behind him before turning around to look at me again.
"I don't want you angry with me, just listen."

"That's what I thought of too before I came to talk to you yesterday." I fold my arms against my chest and turn away from him.
"You didn't even give me a chance to explain." I mutter under my breath when I could feel him close by.
