Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

I slowly turned around. There, standing in the archway into the room was Severus.

"Y/N." He said again. He looked so desperate and sad. He took a step toward me.

"Stay away." I said with a harshness in my voice. Damn Y/N. Where are you getting all this courage from??

"Y/N please,"

"Leave me alone." 

Severus looked puzzled. Then looked angry. His head snapped up toward Mr. Malfoy. "You wrote me a letter and said she wanted to see me." He snarled. Mr. Malfoy smirked and shrugged. "I am going to kill you!" Severus pulled out his wand and strode past me to Mr. Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy put up his hands.

"Now now Severus, remember who holds more sway over you. Remember that you were not ordered to." Severus's stride faltered then came to a complete stop. He slowly put his wand down. "That's a good little pet."

"You are just as much his pet as I am Lucius." Snapped Severus.

"Did you know that Miss L/N here might become one of us?" Asked Mr. Malfoy mockingly. Severus's head snapped to me.

"What?"

"Severus, I figured you would be joyous." Severus regained his composure.

"I am."

"Sure you-"

"Why is he here?" They both turned to me.

"Dear Severus here told me that you wouldn't want to be going back to your house. So, I suggested that he bring your trunk over here."

"He told me that you wanted to come back." Whispered Severus

"Well I don't." I said annoyed. "And, you went to my house?"

"Yes."

"How the fuck did you get in?" I demanded.

"I unlocked the door."

"What about my parents.

"They were asleep." Asleep? At seven oclock at night? Maybe my father was passed out. But my mom?

"Well, Miss L/N," Interjected Mr. Malfoy. "Where would you like to stay until school starts?"

I thought about it. I could stay here, my house, or Severus's house. I honestly felt the safest here. Even though everyone here is a death eater, I have Draco. And I know that he would keep me safe.

"I would like to stay here if that's alright."

"Y/N," Said Severus.

"Of course it's ok. You can stay in the guest room next to Draco's room." I risked a glance at Severus. He looked so hurt. I felt bad for him but quickly shook the feeling away. Mr. Malfoy smirked. "Well Severus, thank you for dropping Miss L/Ns things off."

"Of course." He responded smoothly. The hurt that was on his face is gone. Severus turned toward the archway and strode past me without looking at me. We stood there in silence until we heard the front door shut.

"I will have the elf bring your things up to the guest room."

"Thank you." I turned and left the room. I went upstairs and knocked on Draco's door.

Draco opened the door. He looked so relieved when he saw it was me. He pulled me into a tight hug.

"What happened?" He asked as he pulled back. "No. Don't answer yet." He whispered. He pulled me into his room and closed the door. "Ok. Now answer."

"Severus showed up."

"What?"

"He showed up with my stuff. Apparently your father told him I wanted to go back to his house." Draco scrunched his hands into fists. I grabbed one of his hands. "Your father is letting me stay here until school starts." Draco's head whipped up to me.

"You are staying here?" 

I nodded. 

"That is the worst idea I have ever heard."

"Why?" I asked. Draco ripped his hand from mine and started pacing.

"Why? Are you really asking that?" He scoffed.

"Yes Draco, I am." He stopped pacing and faced me.

"Because Y/N you will be staying in a house full of death eaters!" He exclaimed.

"This is the only option I have, Draco."

 He walked over to me. "How is this your only option?"

 I sighed. "I can't stay with Snape and I can't stay at my house." I explained.

"Why can't you stay at your house?"

"Because I can't."

"Tell me why." He said quietly.

"My parents." His eyes moved from my eyes to my cheek.

"Is that how you got that?" He pointed to my cheek. I remembered my father slapping me. I nodded. Draco cupped my cheek with his hand. "I am so sorry Y/N."

"It's not your fault." I said quietly.

"I know but, I am sorry you are going through that." I gave him a weak smile. Draco leaned in slowly. I know what he is trying to do. I really shouldn't let him but, a small part of me wants him to. Our lips met. It felt so comforting and warm. I really missed this. He pulled back and smiled. I smiled back. I wrapped my hands around his waist and he wrapped his around my shoulders. "I promise I will do my best to keep you safe." I smiled onto his shoulder.

"I know you will."

Draco and I ended up sitting on his bed and talking for the next few hours. I left only when the house elf came and took me to the room I would be staying in. Just as Mr. Malfoy said it was right next to Draco's room.

The room is just as big as Draco's. A huge bed occupied the middle of the room. There was a desk and a huge bookshelf. It was as dark as the rest of the house though.

The next afternoon I was sitting with Draco in his room playing Uno. It was in my trunk and I taught him how to play.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Said Draco. Mrs. Malfoy came in. She looked worried.

"Hello Mrs. Malfoy." I said.

"Hello. You both need to come downstairs right now." We stood up and followed her downstairs. She led us to the living room.

Mr. Malfoy was standing staring out the window. Someone was sitting on the couch. Their back to us. "They are here." Said Mrs. Malfoy. The stranger stood up and turned. That was no stranger. That's Dumbledore! I remembered the letter I sent him. He must be here for that!

"Hello Draco. Miss L/N, I would like to speak to you." Said Dumbledore.

"Uh sure." I said. Dumbledore looked around at the others.

"I would like to talk to you alone." Mr. Malfoy rolled his eyes and strode out followed by Mrs. Malfoy and Draco. "Would you mind coming back to Hogwarts for a little while? I don't want to risk eavesdroppers."

"Uh I guess?" Dumbledore smiled.

"Wonderful. We will have to go to the end of the driveway. They have spells against apparating in this house."

"Oh. Ok. I should tell them-"

"I already told them you were going." Said Dumbledore.

"Oh. Alright."

We walked out of the house and down the driveway.

"We can do it now." Said Dumbledore. He held out his hand. I took it.

In a blink of an eye we were standing in Dumbledore's office.
