Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

35

I woke up remembering last night. Severus had left food outside my door. I smiled to myself. Now that it was a new day my anger towards him has faded. I got dressed into black leggings and a few sizes too big sweatshirt. I headed downstairs to get breakfast.

An aroma of burnt toast wafted through the air in the living room. I paused in the archway of the kitchen to see Severus standing in front of a toaster. A plate was beside him that had severely burnt toast on it. He looked over at me as soon as he noticed my presence. He flashed a boyish smile at me. "I just got this thing. Muggle appliances are so confusing." I walked over to him. I looked at the setting on it. The heat setting was all the way up.

"Here let me show you." I showed him how to use it.

"Thanks Y/N."

"It's whatever." I said quietly. I felt myself blush. He didn't say anything for a few beats. He awkwardly turned back to the toaster.

"Well, I hope you are in the mood for toast." I didn't reply. "Oh," he turned to me. "A letter came for you," He pointed to the little kitchen table. "I left it there." He turned back around.

"Oh ok. Thanks." I walked over to the letter. It must be from Emma. "Do you want to eat down here or should I bring it up to your room?" I thought about it. I wasn't mad at him anymore. I remembered what I said yesterday. 'We are over.' He was acting normal. Except normally he kisses and hugs me. I honestly don't really regret it. Maybe I will in the future but right now I don't. It can't hurt to eat with him can it?

"I will eat down here." I declared. His face got brighter.

"Alright. You can sit down. it will be ready soon." I sat down at the table.

Soon Severus set a plate with four pieces of toast in front of me. He also set down butter and two choices of jam.

"I only want one. You can have the other ones." I said once he sat down.

"No. You need to eat more." 

I rolled my eyes. "How about you have two and I have two then?"

"Fine." He got up and grabbed a plate. I plopped two pieces on his plate. He sat down again. We began eating. "So, do you know who sent you those letters?"

"Well, one is probably from Emma but I don't know about the other one."

"I see." We ate in silence. When I was done I put my plate in the sink, grabbed my letter off the table and started off upstairs.

I sat down on my bed and opened one of the letters.

Dear My Best Friend Y/N,

I am not surprised at how you described his house. He seems like a dark and dusty house person. Is everything with him better now? I know it's probably only a few days since you sent the letter but if it's not better I am gonna kick his ass.

My summer is going alright. I miss you so so so much!! 

Love, Emma

P.S, Do I need to kick his ass? Seriously. Give me an address and time.

I laughed out loud. That was so like Emma. I should write her back but I will do it later. I set the letter down on the nightstand and grabbed my phone. I laid on my back and turned on my phone. I had a text. I opened the messaging app. The text was from Draco. It read,

Draco: Hey Y/N. How are you doing? How is staying at Snape's house? It sucks you have to stay there. He is so strict there would be no way he would let you hang out with friends. I hope your parents come back from their trip soon.

Holy fuck. How the hell does Draco know that I am staying here? The only person I told was Emma and there is no way she would tell anyone. Let alone Draco. And he thinks it's because my parents are on a trip? I texted Draco back:

Y/N: How do you know I am staying with Snape?

I went on YouTube for awhile until he texted me back:

Draco: My father told me.

Y/N: How does he know?

Draco: Idk I guess cause he is kind of friends with Snape?

I felt anger coursing through my veins. I threw my phone on the bed and left my room slamming the door behind me. I stormed downstairs. I found Severus on the couch. I walked in front of him.

"Hi?" Said Severus.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL PEOPLE I AM STAYING HERE?" I yelled. 

Severus stood up. "What are you talking about?"

"Draco knows I am staying here and he said his father told him. He said that you told his father." I said angrily.

"I didn't tell his father." He said calmly.

"Then how does he know?"

"I don't know. Maybe Draco saw us leave Hogwarts together and guessed?"

"He said his father told him."

"Maybe he just said that so he didn't sound like a creep. I don't know."

"You didn't tell anyone?" I asked.

"No. I promise." I felt my anger fade away. Maybe he is right. Maybe Draco did see us leave and said his father told him so he didn't sound weird.

"Alright," I said. "I believe you." He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight. I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Would it really be that bad if people knew?" I pulled back to look at him.

"Yes it would. I don't want people to know about my parents."

"I know." He said quietly.
