Mine // Severus Snape // Tom Riddle // (1)

Stay

That night everyone stayed at the mansion. Everyone could have gotten their own rooms but what fun would that be? They turned the study into a giant fort, candles and pillows and blankets, their own little cave of cozy.

"Dobby can you get the projector please?" lula questioned.

'Of course miss.' He said running off appearing moments later. 'What would Miss like me to play?'

'Something bloody!" Bellatrix declared.

'No, a romance!' Cissy declared looking over to lucius who was completely oblivious that the girl liked him.

'Adventure?' Tom suggested.

'Mystery!' Theo told them. 'Lets do a mystery! Come on I never get to pick!' he complained.

'you don't live here.' lula reminded him.

'Well I think I should.' He informed her. 'this place is amazing!'

'This place really is amazing, thank you for having us, Lula.' Regalus said.

'Awe so proper you are.' Lula ruffled his hair as she found a comfy spot.

'Alright Regalus, what about you?' Lula questioned looking over to him.

'Adventure mystery?' he questioned slowly.

'How about a mystery, filled with adventure and romance and some possible bloody gross scenes?' Lula offered.

'Is there a film like that?' Theo questioned.

'Jumanji. Duh.'

'That's not a mystery.' Lucius informed her.

'They are stuck in a game, the mystery is how they get out!' Lula corrected. The room agreed and even though Lucius and Lula had seen it a few dozen times it was a favorite.

After the movie they started to drift off well all but severus. He didn't like being this close to Sirius, he didn't know if he would try and retaliate after the wasabi incident at dinner but he didn't want to find out. Quietly he got up and lay next to Lula. Tom had an arm wrapped around her, her back to him. She opened her eyes when she felt severus shift the blankets laying next to her.

'I didn't mean to wake you.' He whispered.

'I wasn't asleep yet.' She told him, reaching a hand out brushing the hair from his face. 'one of these days....' she said twirling his hair in between her fingers. 'you worried about Sirius?' she questioned softly hand still in his hair. He bit at his lip not wanting to seem scared or weak, he wanted to show her he was brave but he wasn't. 'you want me to immobilize him?' she questioned making severus laugh.

'No, just... can I stay here tonight? next to you?' he asked softly.

'Of course you can.' She confirmed running a hand up and down his arm, soothing him to sleep.
