Teacher's pet (Book 2)

34 || Break-up

"Don't use that tone with me." Severus warns angrily.

"She called you 'Sev'!" I yell at him. "Who was that?"

"That's none of your business."

"It totally is my business." I respond angrily.

"Why are you here, y/n?" His dark voice sounds unwelcoming.

"To talk it out."

"There is nothing to talk about." He says coldly.

"We had a fight. We need to talk about it."

"I said everything I wanted." He states.

"So you meant what you said then? Are we actually over?" I say loudly as I choke back my tears.

"Yes. We're over. Now get out of my office, miss y/l/n." His demeanour is cold. He doesn't even give me room to talk, he just ushers me out. He doesn't even treat me like an ex girlfriend, he talks as if I'm an annoying student.

Suddenly I don't feel that angry anymore. I feel hurt, anxious and confused. "Why are you acting like this? I know you're angry about Draco but that'll be done in February." I put my hands against the wall to stop him from pushing me out of the door.

He doesn't answer, his dark eyes look at me with a coldness that makes me shiver. His nostrils flare.

"If this is about me not prioritising you then I'm sorry. I'm sorry you feel that way. You're one of the most important people in my life. And yes, maybe I care too much about other people and their problems. Maybe I should let Draco down and let his parents become suspicious of his sexuality. But isn't that also a part of me you fell in love with? And it's the part of me that makes me care about you a million times more intensely. But, Sev, please. I love you and I would do anything for you." I say as a few tears roll down my cheeks. I lower myself slowly while locking eyes with him. I sit down on my knees, just before his feet. "I'm yours, Sev. Please." I plead, not exactly sure what for. Him talking to me normally. Him taking me in his arms. Him telling me he loves me and never letting me go. Probably all of those.

I look up into his eyes. My hands are shaking and my eyes are glinstering from my tears. His face is unreadable but he clenches his fist.

"I need to be your priority, y/n. I need you to stop your fake relationship with Draco and stay away from him. If he really is your friend like you say then he won't blackmail us anymore." He speaks down sternly at me.

"I'll ask him if we can end it right after the holidays. That could be a good compromise, right?"

"No. You stop all of it today and never speak to him again. I won't compromise on this." He answers angrily.

"He's one of the only friends I have left. Please don't do this." I plead, looking up at him with tears in my eyes.

"Him or me, y/n."

"You are the only one I want, Sev.... but I still need my friends, I've lost too many already." I speak softly.

"Get out." He says.

My lip trembles and I can't hide my shocked expression. I'm frozen in my spot as more tears fall from my eyes.

"I said: get out." He angrily grabs my upper arm and pulls me up. Then he opens the door and shoves me out of it.

As it slams closed behind me, the tears start running down my cheeks like never ending waterfalls. Sobbing, I walk away from his office towards someone who can provide me with comfort. I can't be alone right now. Draco is shit at comforting me. Pansy and Hermione don't talk to me anymore. Amber is probably god knows where with Blaise. My feet know where to go before my mind. Before I know it, I'm knocking on her door. She answers.
