Snape One Shots (No Smut)

Pain

Imagine Snape finding out his teaching assistant has chronic pain. I really wanted to do this one because I have CFS and chronic pain, maybe someone else out there does and needs this. :)

Y/n= Your Name

Y/l/n= Your last name

You woke up to find that all your joints were stiff and your muscles ached. You slowly and carefully rose out of bed to look out the window. Rain. Just great. You held back tears of pain as you got dressed and made your way to the dungeons to help Professor Snape with his class.

 Because of the pain, you were moving slower than usual and arrived to the classroom five minutes late. You knocked on the thick wooden door. "Come in." Said Snape in a low growl. You stepped into the room with Your head hung low so you were looking at the floor.

"I hope you have a good explanation for your tardiness Miss y/l/n." Snapped Snape.

You looked up to meet his eye-line and he saw that  you had been crying and his angry expression softened to one of concern.

"Everyone out." He said in a low whisper. "Now!"

Students scrambled out of the room like a stampede as Snape walked closer to you.

"Miss y/l/n, what is wrong?" Asked Snape softly. "Y/n?"

You were shocked. That was the first time he had ever called you by your first name. You weren't even sure he knew your first name until now.

"It's the rain." You said through tears. "It makes my chronic pain flare up." You couldn't believe you were crying in front of Professor Snape. This was the worst. 

"And how long have you had this pain?" asked Snape.

"As long as I can remember." You replied.

"Why didn't you ever say anything?" He asked.

"Because I was told there was nothing I could do to make it better." You cried.

"That was in the muggle world." Snape said. "Here, we have things to help." and with that, he went into his office. You could hear him shuffling around and rummaging through all his potions. He came back with a bottle of potion the color of blood.

"Drink this and I promise, y/n, the pain will lessen." He said comfortingly, handing you the bottle.

You unstoppered the bottle and drank the potion. Almost immediately you felt less stiff and achy. The pain was still there, but it was way better. You felt like you had a little more energy too. You were so happy, the next thing you knew, you were hugging Snape. Oh no. You thought for sure he was going to kick you out until you felt a pair of strong arms wrap around you. He was hugging you back. 

"Thank you, Professor." You said softly.

"You're welcome, y/n. Always." Said Snape
