Chapter 12

Your POV

It's been a few months since the last year at Hogwarts had started, the Yule Ball is just around the corner. With my dress ready all I can think about is the question I've been meaning to ask Snape about.

The only thing of it is, that I can hardly catch him alone. Sometimes I think he does it on purpose but everyonce in a while I catch him looking at me. Normally he looks away as soon as he catches my eyes but lately it's as if he's got something on his mind.

The Yule Ball couldn't come any faster as I wake up the day of and can feel the nerves from being out of my usual attire as well as all of the students asking and being asked to the ball. Something that'll never happen to me.

The Yule Ball starts on a couple of hours and I'm getting ready, slipping into my dress I decide to leave my hair down. Applying some simple makeup with mascara, eyeliner and a deep red lip I smile to myself as I nod in the mirror. Unable to help but think of Snape and his reaction. Shaking the thought away I makes my way towards the Great Hall.

Standing in the outskirts of the dancing I catch a glimpse of Snape. Watching him for a moment he tilts his head towards a door. Slipping out out of the party.

Making my way towards the edge of the party I skip through the same door, looking up and down the corridor I raise a brow for a moment before I decide to head to his class. Seeing if he's gone there to take a break from the people and the noise.

My shoes made a small noise on the floor as I turn the corner, finding the door of his room slightly cracked. Pushing it open and going in I find him at his desk. His attire mostly the same from his normal days of school, but sightly more formal.

"Snape? Did you want to see me?"

Turning on his heels he looks at me, his eyes moving across my body as he stops. Giving me a simple nod he stands there, his eyes still roaming over me.

"You look beautiful tonight"

Giving a smile and I soft blush I hum as I step over to him slowly.

"I was mostly hoping you'd like the cape, since it reminds me of my favorite teacher"

He raises a brow for a moment before a smirk shows up on his lips.

"There's actually a dilemma of sorts that I've had a terrible time to figure out what to do and I was hoping you had some ideas"

He gives a sight nod for me to continue.

"There's someone I've developed feelings for, he understands me better than anyone I've ever met, yet he's cold to me even after all this time. No matter how close I get to him he always tries to push me away, even when I've tried to tell him I'm not going anywhere"

He watches me for a second as he thinks.

"Maybe he's scared of what could happen"

"But what would he be scared of?"

"He's scared of not being good enough."

Stopping in my tracks I look at him, my eyes wide and mouth slightly open as I process his words. His eyes are at the floors as he's understood who I've been talking about.

"Severus-"

He raises a hand to get me to stop talking. Stopping for a moment I continue.

"You're more than worthy, you've taken the time when no one else has, there's more to you than you give credit for. Everyone makes mistakes and I don't care that you were a Death Eater. You were young and angry. It's understandable. Now you know how wrong it was and you're better now"

Putting my hands on his arm I look at him. Getting him to look at me. His hands snake around me didn't and I'm pulled close to him. He looks into my eyes and I into his. Not knowing that we were getting closer to each other by the second, that was until our lips touched.

Pushing away slightly as we scrambled farther from each other. "you are my student, I can't"

Stepping over to him again I put my hands on his chest. Feeling his heart rate I look up at him.

"I'm also an adult and I don't care what others think, Severus I just want you"

Before I could say anything more he pulled me close to him, wrapping me in his arms as he gave hungry kisses as if what I said was everything he wanted to hear. Putting my hands in his hair and letting them get tangled in the jet black locks he gave a small noise before he pulled away.

Panting gently I look at him, smiling slightly as I'd finally gotten what I'd wanted.

"Words do not describe what that dress made me feel when I first saw you in it."

Blushing deeply I pull him into a hug and smile gently.

"How about you show me"

He pulls away and bites his lip gently, glancing to the door before looking at me. "if you can close and lock the door without your wand I will"

Turning to look at the door I wave my hand, watching it slowly close before clicking into place and locking.

Turning back to Snape I smile. "Now, you were saying?"

He pulls me close to him the same hungry kisses from before as his hands roam my body, biting my lip gently as he makes his way down my neck and towards the exposed collarbone. My hands tugging on his hair as his breathing hitched, I smile to myself as he places small nibbles here and there.

Feeling him pick me up I get put on the table behind him and my hands trace the fabric of his suit. Taking the robes he wore off they feel to the floor. He leans down to kiss me more as my hands rest on his arms, keeping him close.

With his hands on my thigh he pulls me close to him before leaning over me as a few bottles fall from the table. Wrapping a leg around his waist I can feel his erection through his pants, noticing my own excitement as I lay there accepting kiss after kiss.
