Her Snake

Lessons and Mischief

Snape's POV

I held something warm close to my chest, enjoying the warmth it was giving and it's sweet scent until I recognised the smell. I opened my eyes and saw Y/n sleeping peacefully against my chest as she had a small smile. This was wrong to hold a student this way, but I didn't want to let go. Holding her felt right. She nuzzled me as I felt my heart pick up it's pace. I quickly shut my eyes when hers started to open. "Ahhh!" A voice screamed as a thunk was on the floor followed by a soft groan.

I sat up, pretending to just wake up and peaked over at the girl now on her back on the floor with her h/c hair spread out. "Are you alright, Y/n? What happened to the wall?" I asked as I see the scattered pillows. "I don't know. We must've did a lot of tossing and turning to scatter the pillows around." She said, sitting up and rubbing her head. "Well, that was pointless." I said and stood up. "You may freshen up first. You're going to have a long day ahead of you." I said as I walked over and helped her off the floor.

She stumbled a bit and into my chest as she looked up. I guess I pulled her a bit quickly. I could see the gears in her head turn in thought. Taking this moment, I scanned her face and soaked her in. Her little button nose, her hair framing her face perfectly, her soft porcelain skin, her shinning e/c eyes, and down to her soft plump pink lips. I felt my own gears turn as I wondered what they'd be like against mine. As soon as the thought happened, I felt something warm against my lips and realized she was kissing me.

I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that this was wrong as much as I want it. Just as I was about to gently push her away, she pulled away and looked down. "I'm sorry. This shouldn't be happening. It's not right. You're a Professor and I'm a student. It would be seen as wrong. I'm sorry, Professor Snape." She said as I felt a slight pain in my chest. "Severus. But I'll let it slide, seeing you know of your mistake." I said as she looked up with pinkish blue eyes.

"Come. We don't want you late for breakfast. Go freshen up." I said, putting on my cloak. She slowly made her way to my private bathroom and shut the door as I sighed softly. I sat down in a rocking chair with a new paper and patiently waited, trying to take my mind off her. After a while, I heard the door open and dropped my paper to see her. She had a red jumper with Gryffindor's crest on it and golden trimmings as she wore a nice pair of jeans that fit her legs just right. She sat on the bed and tied her boots before standing up and smoothing her outfit.

"Remember, it's-" "Professor Snape around other students. I know." She said and walked over with an eye roll. I opened the door and let her out first before following her. We went to the Grand Hall as she went to sit with her friends. I sat in my spot as I watch them probably talking about what's going on. I even see Draco walk over and kneel next to her despite hating Potter. He gave a concerned expression before nodding and walking away. She barely ate while picking at her food as she seemed lost in thought about how her life went from normal, to being in crucial danger.

Time Skip Past Potions because kids didn't turn to page 394

We were in DADA as Y/n crossed her arms. "Why do we need to be here?" She asked in a whisper. "Because we agreed to help with demonstration." I said as Lockhart got on stage. "Why again?" She asked as Lockhart sent her a wink as she sneered. "Because you get to duel against him." I said as she had a mischievous smirk as a sparkle was in her eyes. "Let me introduce my assistant, Miss Y/n L/n!" He said as she walked onto the platform.

"They have sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. As you all know, Miss Y/n is top of her classes so she will show you what is to be done. Now, I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your friend when I'm through with her. Never fear." Lockhart said as Y/n rolled her eyes, pulling out her wand and walked towards him as he did the same. They bowed their heads before turning around.

They took five steps away from each other and quickly turned, getting into fighting stance. "One...two....three!" "Stupefy!" Y/n quickly casted, sending Lockhart flying back as the kids laughed at the once confident teacher, now on the floor, out of wind. He stood up and looked embarrassed, dusting off his outfit. "An excellent idea to show them that, Miss Y/n. But if you don't mind me saying, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you, it would've been nearly too easy." He said, standing before her.

"Yes, which is why you went flying." She shot back, inspecting her wand before looking at him. "Didn't you learn from Harry Potter's class that it would be prudent to teach students to block unfriendly spells...Professor?" She asked as he glanced at the students who snickered at her embarrassing him while she smirked, enjoying it this sight. "We must be going now. I have lessons far more important than your silly class." She said and turned on her heel before walking off stage.

"Harry would've love to have seen that." She said with a giggle and put her wand away. I felt my lips twitch up a little as we started walking out. She looked over and saw the Weasley twins and stopped for a moment. "How much trouble would I be in for pranking other students?" She asked as I looked over. "It's a detention's worth, but if I just so happen to turn my back, I see who did it." I said as she looked at me with mischief in her eyes again.

She took out her wand and muttered under her breath while I faced away. I turn back to see that the twins had bright pink and yellow glittery hair as Y/n held her stomach as she laughed. "Come. We have lessons to do." I said as I started walking away but had a small smirk on my face. "Um, can I suggest a place we can do lessons, Professor Snape?" She asked as I looked at her. "Where would that be?" I asked and stopped walking. "I was thinking the woods? It's quiet, peaceful, and I can focus my hardest there." She said as I thought about it.

It would be a bit dangerous being out in the open, but she'll have me with her so it wouldn't be too bad. "Very well." I said as we began to walk out and into the woods. She took off her robe and hung it on a nearby tree before taking a deep breath in. "I'm ready." She said and faced me. "Okay, first lesson. You need to block me from your mind. No matter how you do it, you must block me." I said as she nodded.

I used Legilimency as I got into some of her memories like how she kissed me this morning. I was suddenly thrown back as I stared at the sky in surprise, not expecting to be tossed out of her mind so quickly. "Oh my gosh! Are you okay, Severus?" She asked as she appeared in my vision. I sat up and began to stand up as she helped me. "I didn't expect to be pushed out so quickly." I said, dusting myself off.

"I guess I'm a fast learner." She said with a soft giggle. "Yes, but you'll need to be quicker if you don't want him intruding your mind and dreams." I said as she nodded. "Again." I said as this kept up for a while until she mastered it. She sighed and sat against a tree as I walked over and sat next to her. "Good job. You really are a fast learner." I said as I handed her a part of a sandwich. "I think I get it from my mum." She said with a giggle and took a bite as I did too.

She looked up at the sky in thought before softly sighing. "What's wrong?" I asked and looked at her. "It's just...I'm so confused." She said and messed with her sandwich. "Confused about what?" I asked and as she picked off the crust. "About my Amortentia. I mean it smells just like you. But it can't be because you're a Professor whereas I'm a student. It wouldn't be right." She said as I looked down. "What does yours smell like?" She asked after some silence.

"It smells.....like you."
