Severus opened the door to the bathroom as anxiety flooded through his body hopping he wouldn't find what he had found last time in there.
He stood there in shock staring at her, she sat in the cold stone floor faces away from him with a towel wraped around herself. Her black raven like wings were folded in but one stuck out as it seemed broken. She sat on her knees as she cleanched the towel containing to cry.
"Irene..?"
He said, she didn't move for she was stuff as stone, she winced in pain as she sat up slightly.
Severus walked and sat behind her taking the broken wing in his hands gently, golden blood stained her towel and his hands. Her wings felt like silk as he guided his hand along the feathers.
"They are beautiful, Irene.."
He said, he squeezed on it slightly feeling where it was broken.
"Your not afraid of me..?"
She said, her body relaxed as she turned her head to the side to look at him, his heart ached when he saw the pain in her eyes.
"Why would I be..? I have nothing to fear of you.."
He said putting the wing back in it's place, she winced in pain as she looked down.
He moved her wings to the side as something on her back caught his eye, he stared at the dozens of scars along her back. His heart filled with anger as he couldn't help but to wonder if someone did that to her.
"What are these..?"
"Nothing"
She said, getting up and walking out of the room. He followed right behind her and grabbed her arm stopping her.
"Irene, what are those scars? Did someone do that to you..?"
She wiped around to him glaring up at him, he looked down at his hand gripping her arm as he slowly let go.
"It's nothiyyou should worry about Severus...leave me be..."
For the second time he saw irritated and anger build in her eyes, he couldn't help but to adore her more. He wasn't sure how to calm her down again but something was telling him to hug her, he never hugged her before not an actual one but his heart was telling him to, something was telling him that she needed it.
He pulled her twords him and wraped his arms around her, she stood there frozen as she hesitantly hugging him back.
"What are you doing?"
She asked, he didn't answer as he hugged her more tightly, he wanted to hold her close, he wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms.
"Severus what are you doing?"
"Giving you a hug"
He replied, he felt the blood rush to his face as she hugged him back. They stood there for what it seemed like hours just hugging each other.
"If you want...you can stay in my room and I could get an elf to clean this up"
He said, he didn't know why he said that and he didn't mean to say it allowed but he did. She nodded as he let her go.

They stood in his living room, it was awkward they will admit but at least things were resolved some what.
"I can sleep on the couch"
"No"
He said, she looked at him puzzled as she put her hair into a ponytail to get the hair out of her face.
"It is only right that I sleep on the couch"
"Sence we both can't agree then we could share.."
She mumbled not wanting him to hear but he did, his face burned a bright red as he looked to the side not trying to show any emotion on his face.
She stared at the ceiling, lying in his bed, he was asleep somehow. I looked at the door to hear someone knock, she wondered who could be awake at this late at night.
