A Feather Quill And A Thin Line.

A Drawing. An Amortentia. (Chapter 3)

I awoke in the morning to the smell of bacon and eggs. I get up and fix my nightgown from tossing and turning in the night like I usually do. Then I go to the kitchen seeing snape cooking breakfast. I get out of bed my hair was a mess.. I can feel the meal I ate last night start to come back up and I rush to the bathroom throwing it up.. I hoped that snape couldnt hear as I coughed it up.. to my luck I dont think he heard. I flushed the toilet and went to the kitchen. I sat down at the table. "Morning." Said snape as he started playing two plates of food. After throwing up I dont really feel like eating.. "goodmorning professor" He sets a plate in front of me and sits across the table. He started to eat as I looked at my plate.. it looked good I just didnt feel like eating after that.. snape notices that I havent eaten any of my food. "Arent you gonna eat?" I look up and I look away from him and said "I.. I don't feel hungry.." he waited a few seconds before responding. "Well.. then you best get ready and start heading to your dorm then. Dont want poeple to see us walking together. Just incase." He watches his food as he spoke. I get out of my chair and leave to dorm to go get changed. But I take the book professor snape has lent to me. I hold the book close to my chest as I walked to my dorm.

It's now almost noon I'm sitting in the library with professor snape's book. As I'm reading the book flies out of my hand to the one who cast a spell to steal it. Malfoy.. "well look at what we got here mud blood. A fairytale? What are you, 3?" He sneers as his goons chuckled at the dumb insult.. It still hurt though. "I thought I told you not to come back. Do we have to teach you another lesson as to why you shouldnt be here mud blood." He chuckles. I look away from him keeping my mouth shut. That was always the best thing to do.. even though everyone thinks I'm mute. It's better as to not fuel the fire. "Hey! Look at me when I'm talking to you!" I hear a page rip and look over to see him ripping a page. "Or do you want me to tear it up." I got out of my seat and tried to grab it but he was faster then me. He moved away and teared out some pages. I stopped. I couldnt move or hed tear out more pages.. "well what you gonna do mud blood? Huh? You gonna try that again?" He sneers at me. I feel tears come to my eyes. I dont know why but.. that book was special to me.. since snape doesnt open up like that to anyone let alone let anyone borrow anything.. "are you really crying over a stupid book?" He laughs at me. His laugh.. it.. it reminds me of my dads. I. Hate his laugh. Its filled with sick humor.. malfoy ripped out a few more pages and tossed it at me as it hit my chest them the ground. They had laughed and I.. i felt so. Angry.. I got out my wand but. I desided not to.. it might make them do something more drastic.. the book should be the least of my worries as I'm glad they didnt go any further.. I picked up the book and the ripped out pages and shamefully walked to snapes class room.. he was my next class anyways I could just wait there till the bell. I knock on the door before entering. He had looked up from his desk to see my tear filled eyes and the ripped up book in my hands.. "I-Im sorry I.. M-Malfoy had.." I looked down as he came over he gently took the book. He took out his want and muddered a spell to fix the pages. "Its okay see." He showed me the now fixed pages. I hug him.. I was just glad he wasnt mad. But if it was anyone else he would have scolded them for it.. he hugged back.. "thank you.." "for what?" He asked confused. "For not yelling.. and getting mad.." we stayed there in silence til he let go. I had let him go to he gave me the book back and went back to his desk. I didnt feel like reading anymore and I pulled out my book and feather quill. I begin to draw some doodles. Not long after I realized that I had drew snape here and there.. I blushed a little.. why was I subconsciously thinking about him?.. I look over at snape and I get an idea. I turn the page over and I start drawing him like that. I look down at the page then back at him for reference but even without reference I could probably easily draw him. His pale skin with his oily hair and his dark grey eyes that easily mesmerizes me.. "its rude to stare miss/mister/mx L/N. If you want to say something then say it." He looks up from his papers after he said that. I blushed red and looked away "I-I'm sorry professor" he watches me for a little bit before going back to his papers. I looked down at my drawing. It was the best one I've done yet..

It's time for class and everyone was in the classroom now I had turned to a clean page and put my stuff under my desk. "Alright class. Today we are.going to be learning about a potion called 'amortentia.' Its a strong love potion and if you make it correctly you should be able to smell hints to your soulmate." He continued with the lesson as I wondered. Why a love potion? Is there a reason he wanted to do it? I followed the directions as snape showed. At the end he told us to smell the potion and Do Not Drink it. It's only for learning purpose and not to consume.. I smelled my potion.. Pinewood. Old books. Whisky. And a hint of rain... Snape?.. Snape is my soulmate?.. I start to blush thinking about it. I mean.. I do get butterflies when I'm near him.. and I seem to blush a lot.. oh my god..
