The Alchemy Professor | Severus Snape

Chapter 15

Question of the chapter : What do you want for Christmas ?

Reader's P.O.V :

The week passed very quickly and I haven't decided yet.

What should I get him for Christmas ?

I have Harry's gift ready.

Remus had spoken with me... He asked if Katie had the tiniest interest for him. That was the moment when I knew what gift should I get to them.

I told him that Katie does have this interest and I asked him if he has it too.

He said that he did and I have the best surprise for Katie.

I will tell her to go to the Black Lake at 21:00 the Christmas Eve and that there will be my gift for her.

She is gonna love it.

However, what should I get to Severus ?

A potions book ?

No.

A potion maybe ?

We can simply brew a potion by himself. No.

What if- No. I will do this in the Valentines day.

GOD. I NEED HELP. BUT I CAN'T ASK FOR HELP. OUR RELATIONSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET.

What if I bought him a white shirt ?

No, this would be ridiculous.

A gasp escapes my lips.

This is it. I will get him a cloak. A black cloak. Each time he will be wearing it, he would be reminded of me.

And a notebook. A black notebook to write everything he wants in it. Mmmmm.

Yes. Those two must be perfect.

I leave my chambers. Christmas is at Wednesday (next week) and today is Saturday.

I run throught the corridor. Suddenly I collide with someone.I fall backwards but two strong arms wrap around me pulling me closer.

I look at the man who caught me. Severus.

" Why are you in such hurry ? " He questions.

" I need to go to Hogsmeade. See ya later. " I reply and try to leave but his grip tightens.

" Without a kiss first ? " He inquires pretending to be hurt.

I roll my eyes playfully and kiss him. He kisses me back gently.

I pull away from the kiss and walk away not having noticed the three hidden Gryffindors who have already known of my and Severus' relationship.

I leave the castle and apparate at Hogsmeade.

I enter the shop with the clothes. I see an old lady coming towards me.

" How can I help you, dear ? " She asks me politely.

" I would like to buy a black cloak for a friend. " I answer.

The woman nods and leads me to an area full of black cloths.

She takes a black cloak from a cupboard.

" Do you like this one ? " 

" It's perfect. "

" Will you buy it, dear ? "

" Yes. I will. " 

" Alright, follow me. " The old lady exclaims.

I do as told. The old lady stops walking when she is behind a table with me in front of her and the table between us. She prepares the cloak and makes it a gift.

When she is finished, I pay and leave the shop. With the gift under my arm, I enter the bookshop.

I wander throught the store glancing at the books. I do this until I see it.

My eyes fall to a notebook. The notebook. It's size is A4. The cover is Green and Silver.

Slytherin's colors.

It's perfect.

I take it, buy it and leave.

With a spell, I make the things smaller and put them in my pocket.

I disapparate and appear at Hogwarts.

Home. Sweet home.

I enter the castle and check on my watch.

There are 10 minutes left from dinner.

Severus is going to kill me after this.

Or he will punish me by destroying me.

I prefer the second one.

I enter the Great Hall and sit on my chair.

" Care to explain what took you so long ? " Severus inquires.

" No, I don't. " I respond with an innocent smile.

Wait for him to see me the Christmas Eve with my new lingerie...

I won't write the Smut, next chapter will be the christmas day :)
