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

Shower would be nice

Lula took in a sharp breath her head spinning and stomach turning she hadnt aparated in over 14 years apparently. She was felling all the first time aparated effects all over again.

'Are you alright lula?' Severus question guiding her to a seat. She nodded.

'I forgot what a pain aparating could be,' she told him.

'Perhaps you would like to change?' Severus suggested

'Yes. That would be nice considering i have been in this dress for over 14 years it seems,' she said as severus guided her through the empty halls of hogwarts and to his apartment like room down in the dungeons behind the potions class.

'Would you like some tea?' He questioned as she looked around her fingers dragging along his bookshelf. 'Lula?'

'Just clothes' she said distractedly.

'I will find you something to wear' severus said heading off to his room. 'Lula?' He questioned. 'Would you like to shower? I mean you must feel- you dont- what im trying and failing to say...' severus said lowering his face.

'Yes, a shower would be nice.' She told him and he guided her into his room, a hand on the small of her back he led her to the bathroom he turned on the water.

'I will leave the clothes on the bed for you.' He told her shutting the door. Her fingers reached for her zipper and she let her dress fall to her hips then she noticed a long scar wrapping around her stomach. Curving the ribs and dipping down.

'Severus!' She called and he rushed in but averted his eyes when he saw her lack of clothing. 'What is this? What happened?' Her fingers traced along the scar. Severus looked up, lula didnt seem to mind that she was in her bra her stomach bare in front of him.

'When you were attacked...' He told her coming up behind her wrapping a hand around her as he traced down the scar. She watched him in the mirror.

'who did this to me?' She questioned

'I killed him. Lucius myself and Riddle. We got rid of them.' severus informed her.

'Why did they attack me?' Lula questioned turning around to face him he kept his hands delicately on her hips her dress threatening to fall to her feet with every move.

'I dont know,' severus lied. 'Im so sorry i was not there to help you. To save you.' He told her.

'You were just a child,' lula whispered 'now look at you. You and lucius are older than me. Why is everything so screwed up? I just don't understand!' She declared resting her head against his chest, his arms around her. 'I can be a bitch but im not that much of a bitch to be killed!' Lula groaned into him. He traced a hand along her back. This would have been perfect had lula not been so miserable and confused.

'Im going to make you some tea.' Severus said after she pulled away looking in the mirror again as she traced the scar. Lula striped the rest of her clothing once severus was gone and stepped into the shower. She stood there letting the water wash over her until the water ran cold. She got out wrapping a towel around her letting her blonde hair fall damp down her back.

'Oh im sorry,' severus said as he placed a cup of tea on the nightstand.

'I like your condition, it smells nice.' She told him moving over to the clothes his clothes.

'Im glad...' he said standing there a moment longer as she stood in her towel sipping her tea. As he walked past her she smelled like him. Slowly he closed the door catching a glimpse of her bare back as her towel dropped. When she came out in his clothes it was everything he had ever imagined.

'Thank you.' She said sitting down next to him. He discarded the book that he had been staring at but was unable to read, to focused on the naked woman in his room. Putting on his clothes.

'Of course,' he told her his arm draped across the back of the couch.

'For everything.' She went on 'for rescuing me from... home. The shower and clothes and tea and for being my friend still. Even after everything.'

'I will always be here for you.' severus assured her. 'Always.' She curled her knees to her chest and tipped into him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She yawned as he ran long thin fingers through her damp hair.

'You're tired,' he noted as she closed her eyes.

'Mmm' she mumbled

'Youve had a busy day. Come on.' Severus said helping her up.
