Lady Potter (Severus x reader)

Chapter 36

When I woke up, the room was dark and rain could be heard pouring down outside. I checked the clock to see that it was four in the morning and there was still no sign of Severus. I got up from the couch and went up to my room, covering myself in the sheets and looking out the window.

After a while, my owl showed up with a letter. I got up, still wrapped in the sheets, opened the window, and took the letter. It was from Remus. I opened it and read it.

Little cub,

How are you? I hope you doing well. I know I just saw you yesterday but I am just worried about you. Sirius was about to write to you but when I told him that you were staying at Severus', he lost it. He asked so many questions like why you were staying there and such.

He said that you could live with him but we both know that's not a good idea until he gets his name cleared. I mean, you could come and stay with me but you know why.

Anyway, Harry won his trial, he will still be able to attend Hogwarts. Speaking of Hogwarts, it starts tomorrow, so I hope you're ready. Try to stay safe and try not to cause any trouble.

Love,

Moony

I smiled and put the letter down, looking out the window again. I would of course write back to him but not right now, it's still too early.

I don't even have my wand.

I heard the front door close. Quickly, I got up from sitting at the window and ran downstairs.

'Sev, your alright'. I ran straight to him and hugged him tightly. I pulled away. 'Sorry, I now you don't like that'.

'I-it's fine'.

'You were gone for so long, I thought I might've lost you'. He nodded.

'Why were you thinking about me'?

'Well, uhhh, it's nothing special, okay. So, what did he say'? He sighed, walked over to the couch, and sat down.

'He said next time he calls you, I have to bring you'.

'Okay, but why are you so down about that'?

'He can torture you, (y/n), you have no idea what's his like'. I frowned. It sometimes confused me as to why he was so protective of me.

'And that matters to you why'?

'Because I care, is that too much for you? You should go back to sleep, it's too early for you to be up'. I sat on the couch next to him.

'Books', I whispered.

'What'?

'Ahhh, it smells like books, it's nice', I whispered again, slowing drifting off to sleep.

Ahhhhh, just admit to him and say he smells like books and cologne.

~Severus' POV~

After a while, she fell asleep again. Her head slipped down to my shoulder and then my lap. I sighed again. I was worried about what will happen to her if she were to show up at the death eater meetings. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. She shifted but didn't wake.

After a while, I was woken up by a small sneeze. I looked down to (y/n), still resting her head on my lap. She sneezed again.

'Don't tell me you have a cold'. She sat up.

'No'. She sneezed. I sighed and checked her temperature.

'You have a fever'.

'Yeah'.
