A Dash of Mad Love (Severus Snape & Reader)

Chapter 2: Sitting in on Class

SEVERUS POV

Last night.. When I watched her walk down the hallway..that warm feeling filled my body..

Looking to the right he sees his room and darts inside before she can turn around and say anything....

I have not had that feeling since Lily..I can't let this grip me...

Taking a deep breath..opening the door and looking out and she has gone in the room. Thank Merlin..what else would I have even said? Taking off his robe and coat, setting it on the rack beside his door. He waves his wand and a fire appears in the fireplace...He sits on the edge of the bed staring into the fire..closing his eyes.. memories of Lily flood his head..But the memories have changed.. She is walking away from him...

I don't want you to leave..

He says to himself, laying down in the bed and grabbing a pillow clinging it close..a tear rolls down his face as he closes his eyes..

A memory of Lily walking away from him..but when he looks to his side.. he sees (Y/N)

No! I can't love someone else... Not her...

He says as he clings tighter to the pillow..

................................................................

Last night he hardly slept... He arose early and got dressed in his normal apparel..

As he heads to the Great Hall for Morning meal, he hears a ruckus coming from down the hall..

"That it boys! You can do it! Just a little further!"

He looks down the hall the noise is coming from and he sees 3 boys..pushing a Piano? Doesn't the woman know she can use magic!?

He walks down the hall and waves his wand..

Wingardium Leviosa

"Oh, thank you Profes-"

Why didn't you do that in the first place?

He says with an agitated look on his face

"They asked if they could help Professor.. Maybe they should of thought of that?"

She says crossing her arms as she moves toward them with a look on her face like.. I told you so..

"Thank you boys for your help!"

This is the first time he has seen a piano in this school.. he gives her a look that says.. you are crazy.. As he turns and walks away...

.....................................................

The students begin to file in the classroom..one by one with horrified looks on their face...he never really understood why the students dreaded coming to potions class...if they would just pay attention and study they would have no issues...

His heart drops, what in the world is this feeling? He looks up and sees the reason why.. She has walked in the room..She is wearing a white long sleeve turtleneck shirt with a red spaghetti strap dress. Her hair is pulled up in a ponytail and she has on glasses today..huge round ones.. still no makeup.. She doesn't need it...

YOUR POV

You sit with you legs crossed, elbow on the knee to support the head. Seeing all the students walk in with terrified looks on their faces. You smile at each one as they walk in.. But they rarely make eye contact with you. You look towards Severus Desk and see he has now noticed you.. You smile at him and turn back to watch the students walk in.. When you hear his chair slide, you look over and he is up, heading straight for you.. With his cape like jacket flowing behind him. For a second, he looks extremely attractive, but then you look at his face and he looks mad and confused...He comes right up to where you are sitting, and he looks you in the eyes. His dark eyes are beautiful..

"Ms.(Y/L/N).. what are you doing in my class room?"

You smile..

I'm going to observe each teacher every day this week, and watch the students.. I'm sort of surveying.. Trying to get to know the people I don't, also I want to know the students.. Let them get to know me..

"So.. you are just sitting in my class?" he says slow and drawn out..

Yes, I promise I won't make a sound.. You say smiling and clasping your hands together..

He turns and walks away from you, you feel a fire between the two of you. What is this feeling.. You have never felt it before from someone. Something is drawing the two of you together...

He proceeds to teach his class, something you notice about him is he never gives the students a chance. He kind of expects them to be great right off the bat.. He is easily agitated, and just seems.. Angry...Angry just means hurt...

You wanna know why, who has hurt him.. why he is this way.. You sit the whole day in his class, observing him.. and he acts like you don't exist.. until he sits down between classes switching..Then his eyes are on you...

You look down at your journal where you have scribbled some things... and write down with your quill.. He has beautiful eyes.. and there is a weird warmth and fire between us.. What is this.. when you notice he is standing right infront of you.. You close up your journal adburtly, and rest your hands on it..

"I'm done for the day Ms.(Y/L/N).. are you going to give me a lecture on how to be a better teacher? Could love my students more?"

You stand up and he looks you over, you notice his eyes wander down your body.. He looks down at your feet and notices you are wearing red High heels.. You thought you would look a little more professional on your first day.

You can call me (Y/N).. You ready to go to the feast?

He nods.. and you start heading for the door.. when it opens slowly.. Your heart skipped.. There is no way you could fall for him...this is not the person you saw yourself being with.. Plus.. he would never open up to you..

SEVERUS POV

She takes her seat by Hagrid, she leans on him and hugs close to his arm.. During the feast he couldn't take his eyes off her..She sat in his classroom all day, writing, reading in the textbook. Watching him...At one point when staring at her she notices and smiles...is she blushing?

He takes a deep breath and turns his head away...

Once all of the students scatter off to wherever they are going to go, some to the library, some to practice, some back to their rooms. Severus stands waiting for the students to all leave when Mcgonagall walks over to him..

"Severus..could we speak for a moment?"

He nods and they both find a seat, and she turns to him and lowers her voice..

"I really would like for you to start talking with Ms.(Y/N)..She is here to help and-"

I would rather die again...

"Severus listen to me...This is what she is here for..She knows how to help people..Things haven't been easy since everything has happened. Would you please give it a chance.."

He looks over and she is talking to a couple of students and she is writing in a book.. she smiles...when she smiles.. it makes his chest tighten up..

She reaches down and takes off her heels, and holds them by the heel in her hand..

Severus rolls his eyes and sighs a big breath..

This woman....

"She truly is great Severus..give her a chance. She is different, but there is some darkness in her past that makes her understand.."

How could someone as bright as her have darkness....

I will...consider it.. but I will-

"That is just great Severus! I will speak with her" Mcgonagall jumps up and starts to head that way..When Severus Grabs her by the wrist.

Then all eyes are on them..He lets go and runs out the door..
