It was going to be just a normal day in your life, or so you first thought. However, as the day progressed it was everything but normal. Some students had decided that it was your turn to be pranked. So, throughout the day, you had students trying to disrupt lessons and besmirch your classroom. You also got the impression that they wanted you sacked. Why was this? You had no idea. Particularly as you would give up lots of your time running revision lessons, whether it was to help students which had missed previous classes or just didn't understand something. You even created a club for the Astronomy enthusiasts of Hogwarts: where you'd stay up during Sunday nights, watching the stars and eating Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. The thought of Bertie Bott's made you hungry. It also made you get up from your ooze covered desk, which you only just noticed as your robe sleeves were sticking to it, and head over to the Great Hall... Great.

It was almost time for the evening meal at Hogwarts. Nonetheless, you eventually decided against going into the Great Hall. You were on your way there when you suddenly fell head over heels down the last few steps leading from your classroom. Seeing the almost invisible elastic chord stretched from either side of the staircase made you feel vexed. Was anything else going to happen today? You didn't doubt it for a second. Thus, you walked swiftly past the Great Hall in a hurry to the Astronomy tower. This was because you wanted to collect a book that you had started to read and accidentally left in the tower. Then, you would be on your way to one of your favourite places, your bed.

The next thing you knew, your face was on the floor. Again. But this time it wasn't a booby trap. Instead, it was a student that was in a world of their own, not looking where they were going, well that's what you hoped was the case... You questioned this as you could hear a few sniggers come from behind which made you want to explode. But as professional as you are, you kept your cool.

-----------------------------------------------

These events made you feel deflated. Your strong, positive looking exterior is slowly, slipping away. Eventually, you lift yourself off the cold unwelcoming floor. But as you take a step forward, you hear a cracking sound come from beneath your feet. Then, some putrid odour begins to submerge you.

What you can smell is the strange stench of a Dungbomb. That is your last straw being thrown into a fiery abyss. You lose your cool. It was a prank. That student must have purposely knocked you over so he could drop dung bombs all around you.

Tempestuously, you take out your wand and wave it in an angry fashion. With violent flicks of your wrist, you try to clear the putrid smell by using several different spells. This makes it a little more bearable to withstand. Overall, you try about seven different spells to clear the smell. But unfortunately the bombs live up to their reputation of being a pain to get rid of. Giving up, you make your way towards the tower without being bothered again by any students and their booby-traps.

-----------------------------------------------

Finally, you make it to the top of the Tower. The familiar night sky comforts you even though there is a little cloud coverage. No longer holding back, you let your tears fall freely from your exhausted (y/e/c) eyes. It was then that you heard a voice come from within the darkness of the tower. It was Severus.

"Are you okay (y/n)?" Quickly you wipe your face, hoping that he couldn't hear you crying as you turn around to see him climbing the last few steps. With an almost realistic smile you try to reply without your voice quivering. "Oh hello I err I am good thank you Severus." Raising an eyebrow, Snape steps forward into the moonlight, you can see the concern in his eyes. "The other teachers and I were just starting to wonder where you had got to. Then I saw you quickly walking past the doors to the Great Hall, which is rather... unusual... for you as you always tend to eat with us." "Oh, well I have err just been feeling tired, I thought I'd skip dinner and just have an early night." You reply, trying not to hesitate as you have never been good at lying. "I can tell you have been crying, not only did I hear you just but I can-". Abruptly without realising you cut him off mid-sentence "Did you follow me up here?" This sudden outburst made your voice shake and you quickly turn away in case tears escape your (y-e-c) eyes. Before you turned away though, you see him give you another look as if to say- I know you're lying, tell me what's happened. "Look at me" he commands in his low serious voice which you kind of find arousing. You don't want to appear as if you are ignoring him, yet due to feeling a tear trickle smoothly down your face you keep your back to him. "I'm fine, sorry but could you lea-" "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what has happened". This time it's Snape that is stopping you from finishing. A few moments later, he delicately puts his hand on your left shoulder and turns you around to face him. The fact that he is standing rather close to you makes you feel all tingly inside. What you didn't realise though was that his hand had moved from your shoulder and onto your cheek. He is caressing your cheek. Or maybe he's just wiping away your tears. Whatever he is doing it feels amazing.

"I'm waiting (y/n)", he breaks the silence, which makes you realise that you have both been looking into each other's eyes for quite a while now. "I'm sorry I got lost in deep thoughts for a second or two... err-". Within seconds your lips are touching. It takes no time at all for you to get over the original shock of what's happening and for you to get into the rhythm of the kiss. As the kiss gets deeper however, Snape places his hand onto your right arm and until now, you hadn't realised how much pain you were feeling from your first fall down the booby-trapped stairs. Wincing you draw back to see a very concerned looking Snape. It only takes him seconds to understand that you are in pain though and he instantly follows your eyes to your aching arm. Cautiously he takes off your robe so he can inspect your arm. After closer inspection, Snape says "you must go to Madame Pomfrey immediately, I think the bones in your forearm are fractured! Was it when that boy bumped into you? I've given him a detention already for purposely knocking you over and planting Dungbombs, but for injuring a member of staff is-" "You know?" You interject him so you can explain what has happened today "so you did follow me... and that wasn't the only prank played on me. I was tripped over by some elastic chord stretching from either side of the walls that lead down the stairs from my classroom, so I think my arm may have fractured when I fell then. Also my desk was smeared in ooze and... wait... I'm ever so sorry, but I've got ooze that was originally on my robe onto your robe." For the four years that you have been working at Hogwarts, you have never seen Snape like this- the concern in his eyes is becoming deeper and deeper. "My robe is of no concern to me, however, (y/n), you are, and your arm is in need of medical attention". As soon as he said medical attention however, a rather silly thought pops into your mind which causes you to let out a small giggle. You could see Severus gazing into your eyes, wondering what he may have said that could have caused you to smile although he was being completely serious. Without thinking about the consequences, you say what is on your mind "Oh kiss me better Severus". As soon as you say it though, you feel your cheeks blushing to what is probably a damson red colour. "A kiss from me, would really ease your pain?" Severus replied, a smirk forming on his lips as he said it. You are speechless, you do want him to kiss you again; your first kiss that happened just moments ago made you feel like you had died and gone to heaven. Looking down to the floor in embarrassment, Snape puts the smooth palm of his hand on one of your now crimson cheeks and goes in for another kiss. This time though it is just a delicate peck on the lips, you certainly aren't complaining though!

Even though the pain is getting worse, you don't want to leave the tower yet so you plea to Severus: "could we stay up here for just a little while longer, please?" You also want to stay as you don't want this time, that you are having with Severus, to stop. You can tell he is desperate for you to go to Madame Pomfrey though, yet he announces "we will go in a few minutes, for now we shall wait for the remaining students to go to their common rooms". Had you both been up here for that long? You had. Was it worth being pranked numerous times to end up in this situation though? Yes. There is no doubt about it.

Author note 08/02/2017: Just re-read this for the first time in a long while and I would like to think (hope) that my writing has improved significantly over these last few years. However, I will not improve this (bar the original spelling/grammar errors) because I think it is nice to see the progression that wattpad writers make over the course of their writing adventures.
