Hello there,

I am also a marvel fan.

4. Cayde-6, Vanguard Hunter ( Destiny 1 & 2 )

5. Mrs Coulter, Lyra's mother ( His Dark Materials )

Severus's P.O.V :

" Severus, are you ok ? " She asks me worried while kneeling next to me.

I nod winking in pain. " Yes. It's nothing. Really. " I assure her.

But she doesn't seem covinced.

" Listen, Y/N. It's just a little cut on the leg. It's nothing. Really. " I try to persuade her but she still looks at me worried.

" If it was just a cut, you would be standing on your feet like nothing happened. " She retorts.

I sigh. It's pointless. The woman is like McGonagall. A cat. She can understand when something is wrong and when it's right. I have no choice.

" I am fine. I just need some time. It's nothing. " I try again only to fail.

" Stop it. " She rebukes me irritated.

She stands and gives me her hand. I accept and she helps me stand on my feet. My left arm snakes on her arms while her right hand wraps around my waist.

" Let's go to my chambers to take care of you properly. " She suggests smiling.

I smile back. How couldn't I smile when I see this pretty smile of hers ? No one ever cared when I was bullied or hurt.

No one except her.

She was always there somehow.

This Ravenclaw who knew where everyone was and was coming for having a small conversation with me after being hurt by James and Sirius. She was asking me if I was ok and that she and Remus were really sorry.

I wasn't believing her until now.

We leave the third floor and approach the Dungeons. Both of our quarters are there.

Once in the 7th year, I hit my head on the floor when Sirius accidentaly collided with me. I had a terrible headache afterwards. Y/N found me in the library that evening and gave me a potion to diminish the pain.

We are still walking. Slowly and carefully.

I glance at her face. The way she is thinking of what potion to give me to 'craft' me. Her E/C eyes watching my leg to see how hurt I am. Her H/C hair in a ponytail glimmering by the light of candles.

She is perfect.

She showed to me that Lily is not perfect.

No one is.

Except her.

A potions mistress and a potions master.

The perfect couple.

She knows my art perfectly. Well, no, correction, our art.

She is my most precious treasure that I need to hide in order to stay safe.

She is my glimmer of hope.

She is my shield when I am vulnerable.

She is my friend, my partner, my best-friend, my girlfriend, my lover, my everything.

This girl-woman, is my everything.

I love her...

She opens the door and we enter. Locking it with just a word; she helps me sit on the couch.

I have come here plenty of times during these last months. We were meeting in my or her quarters.

I know how much she loves her house. Reason of why I have tried to take the less points from it possible. The walls were painting with the color of Ravenclaw. Many things from kitchen tools to clothes have the symbol of Ravenclaw on them.

I respect her house. It's not like this stupid Gryffindor or weak Hufflepuff ( no offence here. )

" Alright, so. " She starts speaking while examining my leg.

" You haven't lost lots of blood which means that there is no need to be given a blood-replenishing potion. The cut hurts and you are not focusing on the pain because you are daydreaming... " She comments stealing a glance of my face.

I giggle without talking back. She is right.

I was daydreaming.

Of her.

Of the morning that I wake up with her in my hug.

Of all the times my lips were against hers.

Of everytime I see her stirring a potion her small, cute but so perfect hands.

" Earth to Severus, you did it again. " Her voice brings me back to reality.

" I am sorry, but how can I focus when you are kneeling in front of me with my legs open inspecting one of them ? " I inquire back.

Y/N laughs and opens a vile. Wait. When did dhe get that vile ?

" These are tears of Albus' phoenix. It won't hurt. " She tells me and lets some drops land on my cut.

I gaze at the wound which disappears. " Thank you. " I tell her.

" You are very welcome. " She responds and kisses my cheek.

Y/N sits next to me and rests her head on my shoulder.

" I will go to speak with Katie. Wanna come ? " She questions.

" No. " I reject with not a single second of hesitation.

" Why not ? " Y/N insists.

" Because, you two will have a girly talk or something. You will be speaking about... <em> when you are waiting your period to come or even boys ! " I respond.

" Well, you know that she had forced me to promise her that I will tell her everything that happens between us right ? " 

" SHE DID WHAT ? "

" Severus. " Y/N addresses to me with a deadly glare.

" This girl had been raped in her 7th year, has been afraid since then to stay alone with any male, she has no exes, she has a big crush on Remus but is afraid of telling him, just let her live the happiness of her best friend to finally have someone to who she can speak with except of me. " Y/N adds being deadly serius.

I nod. She is right. How could I forget ?

" Very well, lead the way. " I agree and Y/N's expression turns into an excited one.

That was quite big.

Did you like it ?
