The Alchemy Professor | Severus Snape

Chapter 7

I have been thinking of posing a random question in the beginning of each chapter for discussion even to learn if you like my story and if I should continue it.

Question of the chapter : Who died in the Battle of Hogwarts that you wanted alive ?

You know that if you google : Hogwarts houses. There are some questions below. One of them is : What's the worst Hogwarts house? and the other one is : What is the best Hogwarts house ? Well, the funny thing is that the best and the worst is Hufflepuff...

Reader's P.O.V :

I walk and walk until I reach the door. The door of the potions classroom.

I don't know if Severus has lesson or not. I didn't ask him if he was to teach the second period.

I take a deep breath to calm myself.

I open the door as silently as I could and enter the classroom. It is empty. Except...

Him sitting on his seat. His hands on his desk and his face hidden in them.

" I like you, Y/N... " He whispers. My heart skips a beat. He probably hasn't noticed me yet. Thing which proves that he is not lying.

" You do what ? " I ask not sure of how should I react.

Severus freezes shocked. He slowly turns to glance at me. 

" You were crying. " He remarks looking at my swollen eyes and ruined eyeliner.

I nod and come closer to him.

Severus' emotionless mask breaks. " Listen I- " 

" Did you mean what you said earlier ? " I cut him off.

" I didn't want to shout at you. I- I don't know how this happ- " He responds.

" Listen. There is no need to blame yourself because it's my fault too. I could have intercepted far more politely without comments. " I say quickly while taking his big hands in my smaller ones.

Severus nods gazing at his lap. " I am sorry. "

" I am sorry too. " 

There is silence after our apologies. It is the first time that we apologize to each other for our arguments. Well, there were a couple of times when we apologized to Dumbledore due to having exchanged some spells in corridors.

Suddenly it hits me. " I like you, Y/N... " My mind repeats his words. Butterflies erupt in my stomach. Hope and happiness wash all over me. 

Wait Katie to hear about this... ( Why did this sentence give me Draco vibes ? Anyway... )

I inhale and exhale thinking of my next move. 

I take his head in my hands force him to lock eye contact with me. The moment our eyes meet was... amazing.

I slowly move myself so I am sitting on his desk right in front of him.

" Can you repeat yourself ? " I question not braking our wonderful eye contact.

" I am sorry. " He whispers carefully. I can see clearly the hesitation of telling me again what he did when he was oblivious of my presense. " I like you, Y/N... " 

He swallows hard. " I <em>... "

" Say it. " I insist.

He sighs in defeat. He rises from his chair and places his hands so he is trapping me on his desk and his face was the closest we have ever been to each other.

" I like you. " He tells me with confidence. 

I smile to him while I wrap my hands around his neck.

" I like you too, Sevy. " I say playfully.

Severus rolls his eyes at the new nickname but I can see that he enjoys all of this.

" May I kiss you then ? " He inquires.

I nod and our lips collide with all of the lust and mixed feelings for each other.

So... Did you like it ?
