I ran my arms under the cold sink water. My arms stinging. I turned the faucet off and dried my arms with a paper towel. I tucked my special bag in the pockets of my robes. I went over to the door and opened it. I turned right and ran face first into someone's chest.

"Sorry" I said as I backed up. It was Snape. He glanced around and saw that we were the only ones in the hallway. He then looked back at me and gave me a small smile.

"Don't worry about it, Y/N." I gave him a nervous smile back. My palms were sweaty. What's wrong with me? Normally I don't get this nervous around him. Of course I get a bit nervous but that's just because it's Snape. He looked at the door that I came out of.

"What were you doing in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom?" he asked. Narrowing his eyes.

"I was ummm... just using the bathroom." he looked like he didn't believe what I said.

"Mh but why Moaning Myrtles? Normally people would avoid it at all cost."

"I was just umm" think Y/N, Think! "Well, I just happened to be passing by in this hallway and needed to use the bathroom."

"Mhhh," he looked around the hallway again. Checking to make sure we were still alone. "Lift your sleeves." he said. Shit.

"No."

"Y/N plese lift your sleeves. I need to know you are ok." He said gently. 

"No." 

"Hey Y/N!" Draco Malfoy was walking over to us.

"Hey Draco." I said. Snape dramatically flipped his cape and turned around. Walking away from us. He turned a corner and was out of sight.

"What was that about?" asked Draco.

"Just ya know, the usual Snape crap. Yelling at anyone for anything."

"You didn't get detention did you?" he asked eagerly.

"Thankfully no." I laughed.

"That's good. Well, I gotta get back to my common room. Crabe and goyle are waiting for me. Bye Y/N. See you around." he waved at me as he walked off in the same direction Snape walked off in.

Time skip to lunch:

I was sitting at the Gryffindor table by myself. The great hall was almost empty because it was another Hogsmeade trip. Emma was excited because she and Noah were going to go on a date. I saw that the staff table was empty except for Professor Dumbledore and Hagrid.

"Y/N?" I jumped. I looked next to me and it was just Harry. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Mind if I sit?" I nodded.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Thanks." he plopped down next to me. "So how are you?"

"I am ok. How are you Harry?" he smiled.

"I am doing great! Ya know why?!"

"Umm why?"

"Because I get to hang out with you. Speaking of which, what work do you have? So that way I can help you. I am pretty good at defense against the dark arts." he said proudly. I am already almost top of my class in every class. I don't need help. I thought to myself.

"Umm ya I have some work in that class."

"Great! I can help you with it the-"

"You won't be helping her with anything today Potter." spat someone behind us. We turned around and Snape was standing there.

"Why not Professor?" challenged Harry.

"Because she has detention with me right now." what? I don't have detention today. What is he talking about?

"But Professor-"

"Come now." he said. He turned.

"Sorry Harry. Looks like i've got to go. Bye." I got up and gave Harry a small wave.

"Bye Y/N see you later" he said sadly. I followed Snape out into the hallway. We walked all the way to his classroom in silence.

When we got to his classroom he pulled a chair up in front of his desk.

"Sit" he commanded. As I sat down in the chair he sat down in his own.

"Why did you do that? I don't have detention today." he smirked.

"Well you came with me didn't you?" 

I crossed my arms. "Well ya. But just because I wanted to find out what this is all about."

"You said you didn't like Harry and accidentally said yes to a date. Am I right?"

"Well yes. But what does that have to do with you making up a detention?"

"I made it so you don't have to go. You're welcome."

"I could have handled it on my own. Why do you even care?"

"Sure you could have. And I care because we are sort of friends now. Aren't we?"

"I mean, I guess."

"And in my book, friends save each other from these awkward encounters. Such as a date they don't want to go on."

"Well, thanks then."

"My pleasure," he said. "Since you agree that we are friends now, you may officially call me Severus. That's who you know me as anyways." He gave me a smile. I smiled back.

"Ok, Severus. You can now call me Y/N."

"I have always called you Y/N." 

"I know. But now I am giving you permission to." 

He smiled at me.
