Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

46

I was walking into the great hall. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was so nervous to see Severus. I was also nervous to see Emma. I had barely talked to her this summer. Maybe she won't want to be my friend anymore. Not like I deserved her in the first place.

"Y/N!!!!" I looked over at the Gryffindor table. Emma had jumped up and was running over to me with a big smile on her face. I smiled and ran to meet her. We crashed in a hug. "I missed you so so much!" Said Emma.

"I missed you too." We pulled apart. She definitely had a glow up. She looked older and even more prettier.

"I am so happy to see you! Come, sit by me!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me over to the table. I avoided looking for Severus. I couldn't do it just yet. I sat down.

"How was your summer in general with Severus?" She whispered.

"Not ideal." She looked at me with confusion.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I will fill you in later when we don't have as many potential eavesdroppers."

"Alright."

"Hey Y/N!" Said Harry as he, Ron, and Hermione sat down across from us.

"Hey." I said.

"Emma." Nodded Harry.

"Hi Harry. So Ron, Hermione tells me that your family went on a trip this summer?" 

Ron eagerly nodded. "Yeah we-" 

I blocked what they were saying out. I took a deep breath and looked up to the staff table. It wasn't hard to find him. He was staring straight back at me. I felt longing. I wanted to be closer to him. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to be in his arms. I just know realized how much I fucking missed him. I felt my eyes tearing up but I quickly blinked them away.

"Y/N?" The voice pulled me back. Hermione said something to me.

"Sorry, what?" I said. Hermione huffed.

"I said, what did you do over the summer?"

"Oh umm, I read and did homework."

"That's it?"

"Pretty much."

"Oh. Hey Harry, I recently read this book I think you would like it's about-"

"When will you tell me what happened?" Emma whispered. I turned to her.

"I will tell you later tonight. I have to talk to him first." Emma rolled her eyes.

"Well, I have something to tell you, later."

"Alright we will spill secrets then." We both smiled.

Dumbledore started his speech. I looked around at the staff table and there was a new teacher sitting there. He looked young. Around Severus's age. Maybe twenty two or so. He had brown hair. He was quite good looking. I pushed that thought away.

"It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new defense against the dark arts teacher, Mr. Anderson." He motioned to the new teacher. Everyone started clapping. Mr. Anderson smiled and raised his hand to waved.

kids were sorted into their houses. I barely touched my food during the feast. I noticed Severus didn't either.

Once the feast was over we all filed out of the great hall. "I will see you in an hour or so." I said to Emma. We parted ways and I made my way down to the dungeons.

I made my way down a secluded hallway that had the door to Severus's "apartment" I guess you could call it.

I stopped outside the door and took a deep breath. I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps. The door opened. Severus was standing there. I could smell mint and forest coming from him. Oh how I missed that.
