Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

44

Dumbledore walked over to his desk and sat down.

"Please Miss L/N, sit." I sat down in the chair across from him. "I brought you here to talk about the letter you sent."

"He is a death eater! I saw the mark on his arm!" I exclaimed. 

Dumbledore smiled. "Miss L/N, I already know." Did I just hear that right? He already knows Severus is a death eater?

"But, how?"

"How did you see the mark?" Asked Dumbledore.

"He was umm washing dishes and I walked in. How do you already know? And why does he still teach here? Why haven't you turned him in??"

"I will tell you but, you have to swear not to tell a soul."

"Alright. I promise." I said.

"Severus is working for me."

"I don't understand."

"Consider him a spy. He spys on Voldemort for me."

"He became a death eater to spy for you?" I asked.

"No. He already was one but he changed. Now he works for the order."

"The order?"

"The order of the Phoenix."

"What is that?" 

Dumbledore smiled. "It's a group I started. We fight Voldemort and his followers." I could sense the pride in his voice.

"So Severus is part of both?"

"Yes."

"So, he isn't really a death eater?" I asked.

"Well technically he is. He has the mark after all. But, I suppose he isn't."

I felt anger and regret at the same time. I regretted leaving him but I am angry that he didn't tell me. I was his girlfriend and he didn't tell me something that huge.

I felt a tear slip out from my eye. I quickly wiped it away. "Are you alright Miss L/N?"

"Yeah. Just a little upset."

"That's understandable." I put my head in my hands and looked at the ground. Neither of us talked for a while. But then Dumbledore spoke.

"He cares a lot about you." I slowly looked up.

"How do you know?"

"My dear, he has told me. And it's quite obvious."

"Then why didn't he tell me about this?"

"My guess is he thought it would keep you safer if you didn't know. I would agree with it." I didn't know what to say so I stayed quiet. "Would you like me to take you back to the Malfoys? Or would you like to go back to Severus's house?"

"The Malfoys." I said. I sort of wanted to see Severus but I am upset with him and need time.

"Alright." Dumbledore stood up and walked around the desk to me. I stood up as he extended his arm to me. I wrapped my arm around his and closed my eyes.

When I opened them we were standing at the end of the driveway to the Malfoy Mansion. I let go of Dumbledore's arm.

"Listen Miss L/N," I turned to him. "Severus really cares about you. He never wanted to hurt you. You might want to talk to him eventually." I blinked and he was gone. I took a deep breath and walked up to the house.

Draco greeted me at the front door.

"What did that buffoon want?" He asked. I stepped into the house.

"Uhh just stuff about my schedule." Draco raised his eyebrow. I ignored him. "I am going to go up to my room."

"It's almost dinner." called Draco. I was already halfway up the stairs.

"I am not hungry." I called back. I just wanted to be alone to think about things.

When I got into my room I laid in bed for an hour thinking about the conversation between Dumbledore and I.

I think I am going to wait until school starts to talk to Severus.

The next morning I woke to someone knocking on my door. I sat up. "Come in." The door swung open and Draco walked in. He shut the door behind him and walked over to me. He sat down on the bed.

"This came for you." He held out a letter to me. I took it. Who would have sent me a letter?

"Thanks."

"No problem. How did you sleep?"

"Fine. You?"

"I couldn't really sleep."

"Why not?" I asked. 

Draco smiled. "Because I kept thinking about the kiss yesterday."

"Draco, about that-" He cut me off by kissing me. This was wrong. I still love Severus. I pulled back quickly. "We can't do that." 

Draco looked confused. "What? Why not?"

"Because I just got back together with Daniel last night." I lied. I don't even know a Daniel.

"You, you got back together?" He asked quietly.

"Yes. Draco, I am sorry." 

Draco stood up and took a deep breath. "See ya later." He started walking to the door.

"Draco, we can still be friends." 

Draco turned slightly. "Sure." He left the room. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I suddenly remembered the thing in my hand. The letter.

I opened the letter. It was from Emma! I have been such a shit friend to her lately. The letter read:

Dear Y/N,

How have you been? You haven't sent anything in a while I guess it's because you are busy with your boyfriend. I guess I thought you forgot about me but then I remember you are my best friend and you never would. I miss you so much! How is it going at Severus's house?

Love, Emma

I hate myself. I did forget about her a bit. I was really busy though.

I got out of bed and walked over to my trunk. I got out a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of ink. I sat down at the desk and wrote her back.

When I was done writing I took the letter up to the owlery. I returned back to my room and read for the rest of the day.
