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

Chapter 10

"There you are Forbes took you long enough" shouted Marcus Flint over to me as I approached my team "sorry Flint got caught up" I yelled back tilting my head over to Fred and George, they gave me a guilty look and took their seats. I couldn't help but laugh at the boys as Flint explained what we were going to do. We got started right away and as I got on my broom I didn't hesitate to fly up off of the ground and into the air. Feeling the wind in my hair as I flew some rounds around the pitch never Failed to make me feel alive and free. "Skye focus!" Miles Bletchley's voice came from Behind me snapping me out of my trance, I looked to see where he was pointing at to see the snitch flying farther away from me. Without hesitation I shot after it picking up my speed, the snitch started going straight up and I Followed going faster and faster by the second. Soon enough I could feel the air getting colder as I surely soared up above the Hogwarts grounds. My fingers were now touching the snitch but before I could grab it I felt a shadow next to me distracting me, I looked to my side to see a mask staring into my face flying next to me with a bunch of smoke flying behind it. Before I could react to what was next to me the figure pulled it's mask off to reveal a familiar death eater. Bellatrix Lestrange. I let out a scream of shock and fell off of my broomstick and down through the air towards what surely was my deathbed, before I knew it everything went black and I could only hear the faint voices of my quidditch team mates surrounding me.

Snape's POV
I was walking through the corridors on my way to the Great hall when I saw a bunch of brooms flying around out on the pitch. Recalling that I had signed my house up for practice this afternoon I wanted to go and check up on the lot, skye would probably be there as well seeing as she was on the team. As I walked over to the pitch I could see how skye flew up behind the snitch, I didn't think much of it since that snitch did have a mind of its own. I sat down in the stands and supervised on the team making sure that they were doing at least something right. time past and skye was still no where to be seen, I started getting a little worried when i saw a body falling down from the sky, immediately understanding that it was skye I started panicking and tried shooting spells at her to make her stop falling, nothing seemed to work as she kept on plunging down to what had to be her death. I got up and ran down to the pitch needing to get to her, by the time I got there she had already landed and the team had surrounded her as she lay motionless on the ground bleeding out of her head. 'No, please. Please don't be dead' I thought to myself running over to her, I could feel tears starting to sting my eyes at the thought of her being dead. pushing away the dunderheads that were standing around her I kneeled down next to her to check her pulls and to my surprise it was still there, it was weak but it was there "unbelievable" I Muttered under my breathe, I still wasn't sure that she would make it but I was exhilarated, shocked and confused that she wasn't dead so far. I quickly picked up her limb body and ran to the hospital wing, then I knew that I could not lose this girl.

Skye's POV
I woke up slowly to find that I was in what looked like the hospital wing 'great how did I get here' I thought. I didn't have much time to try and recall what had just happened when almost immediately Madam Pomfrey came running over to me "oh, sweetheart you're awake" she said sounding happy as she fluffed up my pillows making sure I was comfortable "how are you feeling?" She asked sounding very concerned now and looking me in the eyes. The only thing I could do was nod my head since I didn't have enough energy for anything else. She tilted her head at me and gave me a smile pointing out that she knew that I in fact wasn't good. "Here you go drink up" she pushed a green sort of liquid into my hand which looked like goblin piss. Hesitantly I brought the vile up to my mouth and finished it, feeling a tiny burst of energy enter my body again as the liquid tingled in my stomach. "Wha- what happened?" I finally managed getting out before falling back into my pillow, "you've been unconscious for a about a month dear, I'm not quite sure what exactly happened or how, but Professor Snape came running in a few weeks ago with you unconscious in his arms bleeding from your head, he looked very alarmed indeed. He said that you fell off of your broomstick and that you must of fell at least 1000 feet as it seemed that you had gone so high you were above Hogwarts grounds. It's a miracle you survived it, we're still trying to look into how you did! It seems impossible. You could definitely say that you were extremely lucky dear" that was when everything came back to me, how I shot up following the snitch, how I saw Bellatrix next to me on my broom and how I fell off in shock plunging to what I thought was my death. I knew why Bellatrix was there but I couldn't let anyone know that she had been in the first place. Realizing that I haven't said anything in quite some time I smiled at Pomfrey and managed to let out a soft "thank you". She gave me a sympathetic look and walked to her office, I leaned back into my pillow letting out a deep sigh, "Severus brought me here?" I whispered under my breathe to myself. The thought of Severus being with me in that moment was comforting, even though I felt bad at the fact that I made him worry so much I couldn't help but smile at the picture of him carrying me to the hospital wing and me being in his arms while on the verge of death.

So many thoughts were going through my head at that moment like How did I survive? Was Bellatrix Lestrange really there or was I imagining things? Why was Severus there, and how did he get to me so fast? I was so confused and into my thoughts that I almost didn't notice a certain cloaked Professor crash into the hospital wing.
