Lady Potter (Severus x reader)

Chapter 17

When we entered the great hall and Harry lead me to the Gryffindor table.

'Hey (y/n), how are you feeling'?

'Fine, Fred'. Though, my cuts on my stomach sting every now and then which made me twich a little.

Dumbledore told us that the dementors will be around the school looking for Black.

'Potter, is it true you fainted'? Draco's friend pretended to faint. 'I mean you actually fainted'. I stood up about to walk over to him but Fred pulled me back down.

When the feast was finished, I was walking with Harry as I didn't know where to go, when someone grabbed my... hand. It was Professor Snape.

'Hello, Professor'. He just looked at the red mark on my cheek that my cousin gave me.

'Detention, Miss Potter, meet me in my classroom in 5 minutes'. And with that, he left.

'Why the hell did I get detention'? I asked Harry.

'He will give us detention for anything, remember, come on, I'll take you to his classroom'.

We walked to the dungeons and Harry left me in front of the door to Professor Snape's classroom. On knocked on the door and opened it seeing the Professor sitting at his desk.

'Did I do something wrong'? I asked him. He shook his head.

~Snape's POV~

She wasn't in trouble but I just needed a little push.

'Would you like to grade some papers with me'? I asked her.

'Ahh... of course'. She brought a chair and sat across from me and started grading with me.

'Who hit you'? I asked, referring to the red mark on her cheek.

'My cousin, is this first-year papers'?

'Fifth year'.

'Your kidding, they write like toddlers'. She laughed

'That's the (y/n) I know', I muttered.

'So, how were your holidays'? She asked me.

'The same, nothing new'. I watched as her eyes looked behind me. She stood up.

'Gosh, again, clearly you don't know how to keep things in order, professor, your potions store is a mess again'.

She started cleaning it up. I didn't mean to look but when she reached out, I saw the bandage wrapped around her waist.

'What happened there'? I asked. She turned around and looked at me with a frown.

'Where'?

'There's a bandage wrapped around your waist'.

'Oh, ummm... my cousin, he uhhh... let's just say he went over the line'.

'He punched you, did he make a bruise'? She shook her head.

'No, worse than that, he actually pulled a knife on me and craved the word freak just here'. She pointed to a spot on her stomach.

'Does it still-' She cut me off.

'Don't worry about it, it's nothing'. She went back to organising my store room. I stood up.

'I must go'.

'Where too'?

'Protoling the halls for students out of bed'.

'Can I come? Then after you can walk me to my chambers'. I sighed but said nothing further. She followed me around the halls rather closely.
