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

Chapter 16

Umbridge walked up to me a scary look on her face, she grabbed me by my tie and practically threw me on the chair in-front of her desk. "You we're going to Dumbledore weren't you" she was so close to my face that I could feel her breath on my face "no" I spat at her making her move away from me. Suddenly I felt a big burn on my face, she had slapped my right across the face trying to earn a reaction, gasps came from everyone watching around us as I stayed still not saying a word as if I didn't even realize what had happened.

"You send for me" thank god the one voice that I wanted to hear most right now, He looked at me with a worried expression, he was clearly shocked to see that it was me who was being threatened by Umbridge, knowing that he probably can't help me without getting himself into trouble. "Snape yes, the time has come for answers wether they want to give them or not have you brought the Veritaserum?" She somehow plastered that smile back on her face as if we were having a friendly conversation "I'm afraid you used up all my stores Interrogating students" he answered her his eyes not once leaving mine 'thank you' I thought to myself knowing that he was reading my mind.

Umbridge looked disappointed at his answer while she slowly turned around from the me and Sev facing the other students that were being held by her inquisitorial squad. "Well Forbes as this is issue of Ministry Security you leave me with no alternative" she said more to herself than to me "the Cruciatus curse ought to losen your tongue." Shock fell over me, was she actually going to do that just because I wouldn't tell her where I or where Harry was going? "That's illegal!" Screamed Hermione trying to get away from Crabbe "yes, but what Cornelias doesn't know won't hurt him" she said calmly as she flipped over the picture of the minister on her desk so that it was now facing downward. "I am afraid that I have to stand between that ma'am" intervened Severus a tone in his voice now that I have never heard before. He sounded scared, concerned, angry and as if he was on the verge of tears all at once. Umbridge spun around to him in shock, she clearly thought that Severus had already left the room "well I'm sorry Severus but that isn't really your concern" "It is my concern if you are indicating that you would like to TORTURE one of my students!" He sounded angry now it seemed as though he wouldn't step down from this one, he was serious when he said that he wouldn't let her hurt me anymore. "Well then you leave me no choice but to concern the ministry about you Severus!" I know that we both thought about his dark mark and we both knew that if the ministry would check him he would be send directly to Azkaban. he wanted to start saying something before I basically screamed 'it's okay please let her do it' in my head and mouthed it too to make sure he heard me I wasn't going to have him send to Azkaban on my account.

He seemed hesitant but stepped back, "okay then" said Umbridge grabbing her wand and pointing it at me. I was scared, I knew the feeling and was familiar with it which made the wait worse. "this is your last chance to tell me the truth" "well seems like you're going to have to Crucio me" I looked over to Snape one more time to see him give me a 'why are you doing this just tell her' look. I gave him a reassuring smile before it hit me "Crucio!" She yelled as the green bolt of light hit me in the chest making the smile fall off my face. The familiar feeling going through my body like a rocket setting all my bones on fire, I felt as if I was being beat up and set on fire at the same time, the pain was crazy and all I wanted to do was scream and cry in pain. But I had learned to give no reaction, I was indeed very used to this pain, I didn't scream I didn't whimper I Barely even moved, I just sat there taking the pain in. "What? I- It's supposed to be torturing you!" Squealed Umbridge not lifting the curse off me, I gave everything I had to smirk at her since I didn't have enough strength to talk. She took her wand away and looked at me in shock I looked around and everyone was speechless glaring at me with wide eyes, some even looking scared, Severus had a look of disbelief on his face like he had seen nothing like it before "now" I started shaking as I spoke "if you all don't mind I think I'll just be going" Umbridge's lips were moving like she was trying to say something but couldn't. Backwards I walked over to the window not breaking eye contact with Umbridge, my legs were daring to give up on me but I forced them to keep me upright before getting up on the windowsill and taking one last look at everyone in the room."goodbye" I winked and let myself fall backwards down "SKYE!" I could hear Severus and multiple others screaming my name as I took out my wand and yelled "ACCIO BROOMSTICK" moments before I hit the ground my broom came flying over to me, I grabbed it, hopped on and flew away not looking back at the shocked faces of my classmates.

I had done that trick multiple times before, I used to do it from the astronomy tower, mostly for fun but also for practice incase I ever needed it. I was on my way to the ministry since I knew that that's where we were supposed to meet, I felt a little bad about leaving my friends there but I knew that if I stayed longer She would of kept torturing me to earn a reaction and I wouldn't of been able to keep quite and handle the pain for long. My body was shaking from the curse and I started crying from the aftershock making it harder to fly.

I Finally got to the ministry wiping the left over tears from my face, I had finally came down from the curse and was a little worried about how the others would get away from Umbridge. I knew that they'd somehow get away they were brilliant after all but maybe I shouldn't of left maybe I should've let her torture me until I couldn't handle it anymore because now she was probably torturing them..
