Broken But Vengeful (SnapeXReader) Book 2

Severus P.O.V:

Y/N is fucking crazy. I thought she was still well.. Her. Especially after she kissed me and told me she never stopped loving me. Maybe she was just trying to manipulate me. She's been quite good at that lately and it's scary to be honest. She scares me and the other death eaters more than Voldemort ever did. It's terrifying for me to watch the girl I love turn into a monster.

Maybe I should just give up.

Y/N P.O.V:

I closed the fifth book and groaned. Still nothing on getting large amounts of power and it going rogue by hearing voices. I mean it is pretty specific so it's kinda a hard ask of a book.

You won't find answers in any book. Said the female voice.

"Then where will I find them huh?"

You will find them at your house.

"My house?"

The voice was silent.

I waited a few minutes but still nothing from that voice. Maybe I should go to my old house. I really don't wanna see my parents but I am not afraid of them anymore.

I slid out of the chair and got dressed.

I walked over to the front door of Severus's house and paused. Usually he would come running out and ask where I was going but he didn't. I waited another moment before I pulled open the door and apparated to my old house.

I stared up at the house, my mouth slightly agape. This can't be right. There is no way this is my house. I looked around the trees were the same and the neighbors' houses were the same but my house..... My house was well gone.

Ok not gone but in shambles. The only thing left was the foundation and a few beams from the walls. The grass way overgrown and vines all over what was still standing.

I was only gone for a few months. This... this looked like it had been sitting like this for years.

Footsteps approached from behind me and I whipped around. An old lady with a child in a stroller was standing there. "Are you alright dear?"

"What... What happened to this house?" I gestured to the house behind me.

"It burned down about ten years ago."

"Ten years ago?"

"Yes. Why are you asking about this house?"

"I was just wondering."

"Ok well have a nice day dear." The old lady walked away.

I turned back at the house. How could it have burned down ten years ago when I was here a few months ago? I lived here for years.

The voice said I would find answers here but all I found were more questions.

I took one last look at the rubble and apparated back to Severus's house.

Lucius was waiting for me in Severus's living room when I got back.

"What are you doing here?"

Severus lounged in a chair in the corner of the room.

"My lord, Dumbledore came to my house yesterday looking for you."

"What did you say to him?"

"I told him that I had no idea where you were, that no one knows where you are."

I nodded. "Good. How did you find me? I never told you where I went."

"I needed to speak with you quickly so I came to see if Severus knew where you were."

"I see. Is there anything else you need to report on?"

"No my lord. That is all."

"Good. Now leave."

Lucius bowed and got up to leave the room. Once he was gone I turned to Severus. "I am not going crazy."

"What?" He asked, confused.

"The voice. The voice is a real person. I don't know who it is or where they are but I know that they know me and my life."

"How do you know this?"

"Because they told me I would find answers at my old house. I went there and I found out that the house had burned down ten years ago. So clearly I never lived there. Only thing is, where did I live all those years?"

Severus stood up and walked over to me. "Are you sure you went to the right house?"

"Yes, I checked around me. Trees were in the same spot, my neighbors houses were all there it was just my house that was out of place."

"Are you sure it didn't burn down recently?"

"The lady said it was ten years ago. Plus there were weeds all over it. It could not have grown that much in just a few months."

Severus was silent for a long moment. I could tell he was in deep thought. "Clearly something strange is going on. It seems that all we can do is wait and see how it plays out."

"I don't want to wait."

"I know but it seems that's the only real option that we have."

We. He always says we. As if we are going through this together, and I mean I guess we are. In a way we are a team. He is my left hand but I trust him more than my right. I care so much about Severus and I really don't want to hurt him. Even though I have already hurt him so much and that pains me. I have to explain something to him. I love him.

"I need to tell you something, Severus."
