Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

5

It was Tuesday during dinner and I was heading to the potions classroom. I had gotten detention again because I was talking to Harry during class. He didn't get detention though. Which was weird because normally Snape would have loved to give Harry detention. Even if it was unreasonable. All the sudden, I was shoved into the wall. I looked at who did it and it was Draven. A 7th year in Slytherin.

"You filthy mudblood" he spat. Draven had been bullying me since my 2rd year when everyone found out that my parents were muggles. Every once in a while others would call me a 'mudblood'. But it was mostly just Draven. "You shouldn't even be allowed here." he pushed me and I fell down. It hurt my hip. "You think your boyfriend potty is gonna save you?" he taunted. Tears started to well in my eyes. "Crying ain't gonna save you, you disgusting mudblood. he walked away, leaving me alone on the cold floor. I slowly sat up. Then I got to my feet. Screw detention. I started off in the opposite direction of the potions classroom. Knowing exactly where I was going: the astronomy tower. I had been going to the astronomy tower since my 3rd year. I would go whenever I was upset and wanted to be alone. But today, that wasn't why I was going there.

Once I got to the astronomy tower I climbed the stairs. There were so many stairs that my legs started to burn. But I didn't care. It wouldn't hurt soon. Nothing would hurt soon. When I got to the top I went over to the railing. I stood there looking at the castle and the night sky. I am going to miss this place. But I am not going to miss the pain of living. Tears were streaming down my face as I climbed over the railing to the other side. One step and it's all over. 

 I heard quick and loud footsteps behind me.

"What are you doing?!?" yelled someone behind me. It startled me and i turned my head. Before I could see anyone someone quickly grabbed both of my upper arms and lifted me over the railing. When I was safely back on the floor of the tower I turned and looked at who saved me. Snape. He looked very angry.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" he yelled at me. Tears running down my face. "YOU COULD HAVE DIED!"

"That was the point." I said in a quiet voice. Barely audible. I started to sob, my knees feeling weak. "I am sorry" I looked at his face. It had turned from angry to sad and concerned. He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I wrapped my arms around him and started to sob really hard into his shoulder. My legs gave out and we sunk down to the floor. We stayed like that, with our arms wrapped around each other for a while. When I finally calmed down he let go of me. He stood up and extended his hand to me. I took it and slowly stood up.

"Never do that again." he said in a low voice.

"I can't make any promises"

"Then I am just going to have to keep a closer eye on you." 

"You don't have to do that. I am fine." I looked into his eyes. He looked so upset. I had never seen him look like this before.

"Yes I do because clearly you are not fine."

"Yes I-"

"No you aren't. Hurting yourself and almost jumping off the tower is not you being ok."

"Why do you even care?" I asked. Trying to turn the conversation on him.

"Because I do." He said. 

"Just leave me alone." I tried to push past him but he grabbed my wrist stopping me. I glared at him.

"You will now have lessons with me every week day after school."

"Lessons? For what?! I don't need lessons!"

"I will just help you with your school work. I need to keep a close eye on you, so you will come to lessons." he said demandingly. "And if you don't, you will take it up with Dumbledore."

"Fine." He let go of my wrist. I stormed past him and down the stairs.
