Broken But Vengeful (SnapeXReader) Book 2

4

I opened my eyes and looked up at Severus's house. Memories I had in this house flashed across my mind. I quickly pushed them away and reminded myself that they were all lies. A false reality.

Severus materialized next to me. He was staring at me.

"What?" I snarled at him.

"I didn't know you could do that."

"There are lots of things I can do now that you don't know about."

Severus hesitantly looked away and started up toward his house.

I followed him inside. I was shocked by what I saw.

Normally his house was always orderly. Nothing out of place. Just a little dusty.

But this... This was messy. Trash littered the floor, books were scattered around the living room, and just miscellaneous stuff everywhere. At closer inspection there were beer cans all over the coffee table.

I looked over at him. He wouldn't meet my eye.

"I wasn't expecting anyone." He said as if that was enough explanation. "Do you want me to help you to your room?"

"No, I am fine." I turned away from him and headed upstairs to my room.

I paused in front of the door to his room. It was cracked open. I peered inside, curious. It was even worse than the living room. Clothes and alcohol bottles everywhere. This isn't like him at all. Although maybe it is and I just didn't know. Either way I just don't care.

I leaned away from the door. It is none of my business. I thought to myself. I turned and walked down the hall.

When I opened the door, I half expected it to also be trashed. But it wasn't. It was probably the cleanest room in the house. The bed was perfectly made and there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere.

I shut the door behind me and placed my trunk at the end of the bed. I let out a breath and walked over to the window. I looked out over the lawn.

Why do I feel like this? I feel... bad? I feel bad for Severus. I tried to push the feelings away but they wouldn't budge.

The messy house gives so much away already but, the alcohol? He never drinks. He must be in pain. I probably caused it. I was a stupid lonley kid who was craving attention from anyone. He just happened to be there.

A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts.
I strode over to the door and opened it. Severus was standing there. I felt strange looking at him. I can't place my finger on it but I feel weird. I silently cursed myself.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

He slowly nodded and stood there for a moment. "Do you need anything?"

"No."

He stood there for a moment longer then he took off down the hallway.

I closed the door and leaned against it. Why do I feel so weird?

Don't let anyone distract you, my child. Said the female voice.

"Who are you?" I said out loud.

You will find out soon enough.

"Tell me now." I demanded.

There was no answer.

I felt fear slowly spread across my body.

A feeling I haven't felt in a while. I felt my fingers start to shake so I balled up my fists. I took a deep breath and turned around. I pulled open the door and headed downstairs.

I found Severus sitting at the kitchen table eating. He looked up in surprise when I entered the kitchen.

"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly.

"I dont know."

Severus shot up from the chair he was sitting in and strode over to me. "What happened?" He asked worriedly.

I looked into his eyes. "Somethings wrong."

He took a step closer to me. "What happened?"

"I don't even know." I whispered. "It was like.... Like someone else was talking to me but in my head. I know I sound crazy but I am not. At Least I dont think I am. But she told me..." My voice trailed off.

"What? She told you what?"

"She just told me not to get distracted and I asked out loud 'who are you' and she said 'you will find out soon enough."

Severus was silent for a long moment. "Are you sure it wasn't you imagining you heard it?"

"I know I heard it." I felt someone push on my mental shields. I could tell it was Severus. "Stop it."

"I am checking to make sure they are intact." He said.

"Well are they?"

He sighed. "Yes they are."

"So who was talking to me?"

"I only have two answers for that."

"Which are?"

"Either you are going crazy or another advanced legilimens is talking to you."
