The Pureblood Prodigy SeverusSnape X OC

Chapter 62

"Everyone's so peppy about final exams. Honestly I can't wait to get it over with."

"Mhm."

"I just feel like my head's pounding. Have you checked on those first years who's grades are dropping?"

"No not yet."

"Come on Draco, I only gave you a few of them."

"Look I really can't deal with it right now alright?" The cousins walked into the great hall where Draco stopped. "Just... talk to them now that everyone's eating."

"Where are you going?"

"The loo. I'll be back."

Belinda sat next to her friends and picked at her french toast. Astoria and Pansy were reading the paper.

"Gaining a little weight here hm?"

"Asshole." She muttered when Blaise pinched her hip. He sat next to her and passed her a plate of fruit.

"Quit being a prick." Pansy said to him.

"Piss off Parkinson."

She smacked him with the daily prophet and kicked his knee from under the table.

"Belinda's expected to keep proper behavior but it doesn't mean we cant hurt you."

Belinda looked over at Blaise and threw a grape at him.

"I never said her gaining weight is bad."

Blaise continued to bicker with her two friends and Belinda looked towards the entrance of the hall. Draco never took that long in the bathroom unless he went somewhere else. Her gut was telling her to check on him.

She ignored the calls from her friends as her anxiety was rising. She got closer to the boys bathroom and her stomach dropped when she heard the sound of spells rebounding.

"Sectumsempra!"

Her world came crashing down quickly when she saw Draco on the floor with a fatal gash. Blood was flowing out of him and into the water that leaked from the sinks.

Belinda's mood went from devastated to blind rage when she saw Harry trying to step away. She grabbed him by his shirt and threw him on the ground. She kicked his wand away and was on him in seconds, landing punch after punch on his face. She was too strong for him to push off no matter how much he tried.

She lifted him up by his neck and forced him against the wall with her other hand behind her. She felt her hand grow hot as her flames escaped her palm.

Before her hand could make contact with his face, another hand grabbed her wrist. With all his strength, Severus pulled her away as she struggled against him.

"LET ME GO!" She screamed when she saw Harry run out of the bathroom.

"Stop it." He growled. "He's the least of your worries. Draco needs you right now." He let go of her and went to heal Draco.

With a whirlwind of emotions going through her head, Belinda watched Draco's blood disappear back into him.

"Take him to the hospital wing. I'll deal with Potter." Severus said. A fellow Slytherin came in, and helped Belinda walk Draco to the infirmary. He was in and out of consciousness once he got there, and she refused to leave the bedside.

Although he was fully awake a few hours later, Madam Pomfrey instructed that he stay another night.

"You should get some sleep too."

"She said I could stay in one of these beds."

"You can come back tomorrow..... go on." She didn't budge. "Tell Astoria I'm okay.... Go."

"I'll come check on you soon."

The minute she found Severus in his office she snapped.

"You should've let me finish him off myself."

"The dark lord must be the one to kill him."

"He nearly killed Draco!"

"And he is being dealt with properly."

"Oh with what? A few detentions?!"

"Lower your voice."

"Lower my voice?! LOWER MY VOICE?! THIS IS STUPID-"

He covered her mouth and brought her into his room and shut the door.

"Get off me!"

"You need to pull yourself together."

"Oh because you're always so put together?!" She yelled. "Everything we're doing is stupid. You're saying the dark lord doesn't have the sack to kill Dumbledore himself?"

Severus slammed the door to his room and she stood in the kitchen.

"Breathe." She told herself. Time like this she would turn to her uncle. But Lucius was nowhere near her. "Can't lose your shit yet."

She went into the room where she saw him already in bed, trying to sleep. She crawled next to him and held him.

"I'm sorry...... I just want to feel safe. Not just me but everyone. He's threatening my family."

"He won't hurt you." He said taking her into his arms. "I won't let him."

She wiped away her tears and held him tight.

"Thank you for saving him. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him."

"Shh..... rest."

"Hey..... why does my mother hate you?"

"Narcissa used to tell me she was jealous of my potential. Truthfully your mother and I have always been in competition when it came to the dark lord's trust."

"She is pretty obsessed with him........ he obviously favors her but doesn't return her love. I guess we both look for love in the wrong people."

Belinda sat up and removed her robes to get more comfortable.

"I suppose you do."

"I don't mean you Sev. I mean in general."

"Love dies and doesn't do anything but hurt." He said sharply. She didn't say anything and just nuzzled against him.

"I love you." She whispered. He kissed her head and ran his hand through her hair until she fell asleep.
