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

'why are we Hogwarts?' lula questioned, it seemed as though he was a professor but he hated children. 'are you professor?'

'You want to go for a walk?' severus questioned, she smiled as him as he lead them outside, fresh air hitting her face, she needed this.

'I was going to be the defense against the dark arts professor' lula told him. 'Dumbledore had told me... he was so excited... i was so excited.' Lula told him.

'I know you were going to be wonderful.' Severus told her. 'Im actually a professor, that's why I brought you here, I live here. At Hogwarts most of the time... when I wasn't with you I was here.' he told her and she stopped walking.

'You hate children.' She reminded him.

'I dont-'

'Yes you do. You even hated being a child yourself.' Lula informed him.

'Well... yes youre right. I hate them but i love teaching.'

'What class?'

'Potions' he told her

'Potions. You were always wonderful at potions,' lula told him continuing on their walk.

'I had a good friend helping me.' He nudged her.

'Ive missed so much havent i?' Lula said sadly.

'Lucky for you there is much life to live yet.' Severus told her wrapping an arm around her she leaned into him. It was a peaceful moment, a wonderful moment but lula had to ruin it by bringing up Tom.

'What happened to Tom? Why does he look like that? what happened?' lula questioned as they looked over the black lake.

'Vold- tom went crazy after what happened to you.' Severus told her.

'What did happen to me?'

'Um... i think lucius wanted to be the one to tell you,' severus admitted

'Right. Sure...' They walked the empty hogwarts grounds.

'you hungry?' severus asked but then she saw her yawn. 'you tired? We can head back?'

'I shouldn't be so damn tired.' Lula moaned. 'ive been asleep for 14 years I should be wide fucking awake!'

'your body needs rest, lets go back.' When they got back severus rolled up his sleeves as he prepared to make another pot of tea.

'Whats that?' Lula asked her fingers tracing along the death eater mark.

'Oh its...' everything that happened was because she was gone. All the mistakes and misgiving of life that happened after the accident. After lula fell under the curse. After they put her under a timeless spell to preserve her. Everything went to hell after that moment. He couldnt help but think what would have happened if she never got hurt. If she lived her life instead of being trapped in an unconscious cycle where voldemort kept going more and more crazy. Psychotic, til the moment he died. Dragging more and more followers down with him. Severus stayed for lula. But year after year she lay there year after his hoped dwindled that she would ever wake.

It had to be a coincidence that the day harry potter awoken Voldemort that she woke up. Right, it wasn't like they were two bonded souls. Because severus had a chance to give her a good life, a life away from darkness, she just needed to keep trusting him.

'Severus?' Lula questioned her fingers tracing the mark. 'it looks familiar... I drew that.' she told him. 'I drew that, in school. it was on the cover of my notebook for defense against the dark arts... tom always joked that one day we would get tattoos of it.'
