"NO GREATER MAGIC THAN LOVE" A Severus Snape Love Story

LOKI AND DIAGON ALLEY🦉

I was in Diagon Alley, getting my fifth year things; Sean was supposed to meet me. I just left the Flourish and Botts. Been waiting in the end of Diagon Alley, where it turned into the Knockturn Alley. I had my favourite headphones on with my walkman. It was less crowded and from there I could almost see the heads in the crowd. Suddenly I felt a hand grasp my shoulder. I was startled. I grabbed the wrist of the person, in my defence and pressed it really hard before turning around. 

"Ouch...ouch...ouch...what is wrong with you Rosaline?" Shrieked Narcissa Malfoy; shaking her hand to relieve the pain. "Do you do this to everyone? This is what happens when a witch is raised by Muggles, they turn violent."

I barely had the chance to say sorry, when she said the last part and I rolled my eyes, trying to control my anger and said, "I am really sorry Mrs. Malfoy, those who know me prefers to tap on my shoulder than grab me like that." I replied in a low voice, with a subtle forced smile. She gave me a nonplussed look. I took down my headphones, hold up her hands and asked, "Are you okay? Does it hurt? Can I do anything?"

"No it's fine. Let it go. Here for your school stuff?"

"Yes. I am done with my shopping. I was just waiting...." Before I could finish, she cut me off saying, "Why don't you join me in the Leaky Cauldron, I was meeting up a friend." She dragged me away with her. She was lean, with an attractive physique, but her grip was quite strong. She literally dragged me all the way with her; meanwhile I kept saying politely, "I am supposed to meet a friend" to which she paid no heed.

When I entered the Leaky Cauldron, it was almost filled with people, she lead me to table in the corner, where someone else was sitting, holding up a copy of Daily Prophet in front of their face. I looked around for all possible exits, other than the main door and the toilet.

"Severus, did I make you wait for too long?" I was stupefied on hearing the name, and looked up to see Snape's eyes, boring directly into my eyes. I felt a flutter of butterflies in my stomach and felt flushed. She continued, "I met Ms. Diaz on my way, thought I should bring her in. She belongs with the likes of us, and not with the Muggles." I frowned slightly at her, she obviously did not notice because she was talking to Snape, but he saw it and I straightened my face again.

"Good afternoon, Professor." I wished him.

"Afternoon Ms. Diaz. Narcissa, I thought we were supposed to meet in private; not at least in the company of my students." He sneered at me. Despite that, Narcissa gestured me to sit down pointing at the empty chair, and summoned a chair for herself from another table. I sat rather uncomfortably, glancing at Snape once; he looked at me rather dismayed.

"What would you like to have dear?" Narcissa asked me, once she was seated.

"Oh no, I don't need anything. Thank you."

"Rubbish." Then she looked around and asked me again, "You drink?"

I was amazed by her question, wondering, "this is what rich people do, stuff alcohol to fifteen year olds?" then replied boldly, "Sorry no I am not old enough to drink."

I further continued, before she came up with any more suggestions, "I would love tea. Thank you." She looked around and called out, rather snapped at someone, "Tom, one tea and two Firewhiskeys on the rocks; fast." I was surprised by the way she called out Tom. I have seen him so many times in here; he looks like a good man. My mum never treats anyone like that, unless someone is being a douche bag with the women at work.

"Severus I assume you have it?"

"Yes. You want it now?" saying that, he plunged his hands into his cloak pocket, waited for her approval; she simply nodded at him. They exchanged something. I tried not to look, because mum has said it's not a good thing to pry.
