A romantic adventure

Chapter 9- doubt

"(Y/n), I love you,"

I could not believe it. He said he loves me, he freaking loves me. Doesn't he? I didn't know what to think, he literally said he's in love with someone, wait. Me, it's me I think. Maybe he was just saying it because he was drunk, he probably wouldn't have said it if he was sober.

I was fretting so much, Maddie was consoling me about it and Severus? He was asleep in the other room. "Woman calm your fucking tits, it's okay," she said sternly.

"Is it though? He said he loves me, what if he's only saying it because he's drunk? He wouldn't say that if-"

"(Y/n) SHUT THE FUCK UP! HE DOES LOVE YOU BUT YOU'RE JUST TOO THICK TO FUCKING SEE IT YOU DONT SEE ME FRETTING OVER MALFOY DO YA? Oh shit," she cut me off but the end really shocked me. What was it about that Malfoy? That man was a fucking weirdo and sometimes a bit too friendly, that's what I got from when I saw him at the ministry with my grandma but moving on.

"If you say so," I just brushed it off. "I'm gonna head back to my common-"

"No the fuck you won't, you're staying here (y/n) no excuses, now go and check on Severus or else I'll steal your precious pic of Cedric and your kneecaps," she said with command. I did as followed so I didn't get myself killed.

"Fine," I walked into Severus' room and saw him peacefully sleeping. It was just like the night I stayed here whilst he saved me from taking my life, I brushed his greasy black locks out of his face to see him peacefully sleeping. I decided to lay next to him, I set myself down as gently as I could as to not wake him. I cupped his cheek and he opened his eyes slightly. "Oh sorry Severus did I wake you?" I whispered.

"No, I'm glad you're here (y/n)," his tired baritone voice was so attractive, it sent shivers down my spine. He wrapped his arm around my waist and held me close in a tight hug, like I was a fragile doll. I felt so safe in his warm embrace like I was protected from all of the harm in the world, I honestly could've fell asleep here. I didn't know whether Maddie was still in his chamber, probably just stealing some of his alcohol, I didn't care though, I was in such a warm embrace. I wrapped my arm around him to let him know that I was comfortable where I was, my head was rested on his chest, his chin on my head. Not once did I feel so comfortable, ever.

All of the doubt in my head had gone away, as the minutes went on of me and him peacefully hugging on the bed, I started to believe more and more that Severus was genuinely in love with me and what he had said was true, not just because he was drunk. I looked back up at him and he looked down to me and smiled softly. We fell on each others gaze and stayed there for a few moments, before I knew it he was leaning in closer to me and his lips pressed against mine. My eyes widened but the sudden warmth grew over me and I deepened the kiss a little bit, our lips moved in sync. His lips were soft and warm, I'd never felt anything like it, I don't remember Felix or Jaimie being this soft and warm. I pulled away a few moments later and realisation hit me. I had just kissed my crush.

A whole wave of emotions hit me. I was so happy, over the moon but at the same time I was scared. I was scared of how he would react after he realised he kissed me. He fell into a deep sleep, so I took the opportunity to leave and head back to the common room, as expected Maddie had already left with alcohol. I swear she'll have a drinking problem when she gets older.

I got back to my dorm unable to sleep, fully aware at the fact that Snape definitely likes me.

~the next morning~
(Snape POV)
I woke up at 7 am which was unusual for me, usually I wake up at around 5:30. Last night was amazing, though. I had (y/n) over last night but the last thing I can remember was telling (y/n) that I loved her. I blew it, just like I did with Lily except I didn't insult her, I told her something she probably didn't want to hear coming from her professor. It's not everyday you hear your professor tell you that they love you is it?

Merlin! What would've happened if I had more drinks?Probably would've wanted to engage in some....... Intimate activities. My my Minerva would kill me if I did! I couldn't be for sure if anything else had happened though, I'll see if I can find Maddie and ask her if anything happened.

I got out of bed and saw that she wasn't in my quarters, I also noticed that my alcohol cupboard was open. That little shit, even when I said no, I'll deal with that later. I just needed to find her! It felt too awkward going to (y/n) she probably didn't want to talk to me.

I found her in the courtyard with Mr Coulter, they seemed to be socialising as they usually do. I walked over to Maddie and went to talk to her. "Maddie, can I borrow you for a moment?"

"Sure, sorry Sebbie this won't take long, will it?" I shook my head to that. "Okay let's go," I walked into my classroom as it was too risky to talk about what happened last night in any hallway. "So what's up?"

"Did anything happen between (y/n) and I whilst I was drunk?" I asked very curiously.

"No, the only thing I do know is that you told her you loved her and then you laid together for a bit. Yeah that's all I know,"

"Alright then, my merlin what is she going to think?" I started to fret a little, I knew I screwed up.

"Sev, stop! She's not gonna stop seeing you or anything! Merlin's beard I thought she was thick but YOU. ARE. SO. DENSE!"

"Thank you anyway, you may leave," I settled that next time I saw (y/n) that I'd ask her what truly happened.
