Shattered hearts (Severus Snape)

Chαρτεr foυrτεεn:blood Sταins

Irene looked up at remus as the smell of blood bumbarded her senses when she backed away from him. A gasp escaped her lips when she saw his blood stained shirt. She had never seen him so weak and defeated before, more tears pricked the corner of her eyes when he stumbled in the dark hallway of the corridor.

"Remus what happened!?"

She asked almost choking on her words, she put her arm around his waist to help him walk back to her room, biting the inside of her cheek when he winced in pain.

Once they got back to her room, she layed him down on her bed. Immediately the scent of vanilla filled his scenes.

The warm vanilla smell of her perfume was all in the room, the hanging vines and flowers all over the room as he layed on her bed glancing at the black silk sheets, she ran around the room like a chicken with it head cut off searching for bandages, he heals clicking on the stone floor, her long ruby hair braided neatly as it swayed back and forth along her back as she ran around.

She sat down next to him on the bed holding a damp cloth, there were fresh new wounds on his face, and she saw a cut that went down from his neck along his chest as his white buttoned down shirt was bloodstained.

"Don't worry too much Irene, I'll be fine."

His voice was, and exhausted. She felt so bad that her freind had to be in this pain during the full moon each month.

She hesitanted as she looked down at his chest.

"I could spare some energy..."

She mumbled out, a confused look flashed across his face as she hoverd her hands above the wound on his chest. His eyes widened as a bright light formed from her hands, she put her hands on her knees in exhaustion.

"How...Irene how did you do that? Without a wand..?"

He asked, she sat back up with her hands visibly shaking.

"I can't heal these wounds properly if you don't-"

She gestured to his bloodstained shirt, and he nodded, wincing in pain as he took off his shirt dropping on the ground next to the bed. She felt slightly uncomfortable to see her colleague shirtless, in her bed, but he was in pain, and she needed to help him.

"Remus this is bad. How did this even happen...?"

Her voice was gentle, but he could not help but fe as if he was being scolded fore being so reckless. She looked at him, slightly asking him to trust her.

"I crossed paths with another wolf and got this new wound"

He explained, and worry was growing in her chest as she to heal him more.

"I wish I could have been there, I could have help..."

She thought she said it in her head, but when Remus shook his head, she realized she had been saying it out loud.

"You are helping me Irene. Right now you are. Thank you."

He reached up and cupped her face cheek in the palm of his hand. Remus had his eyes fixed on her, as she continued to heal him not paying anu mind to his hand in her face. Even when she went to take some bandages to wrap his wound, his gaze followed her until she came back and sat back down next to him.

"If I hurt you, please say something..."

She said, before wrapping his wound. Remus nodded weakly, his exhaustion was slowly vanishing when he looked at her, who was oblivious to his feelings towards her. Blood rushed towards her face when she felt his gaze on her, and she looked up at him. Surprisingly, he did not even mind to avoid her eyes as he smiled, Carefull and softly he reached up again and cupped her cheek in the palm of his hand. He stared at her enchanting lavender eyes wanting to kiss her, but instead he put his hand behind her neck and pulled her down to him, hugging her, he ignored the pain as she landed on his chest.

He finally let go of her as she sat up. She continued to tend to his wound, ignoring the heat in her cheeks. Remus seemed to be pondering about something, and he knew he had to talk to her about it.

"Have you found your soulmate?"

"Yes. But the feelings were not mutual, so we decided to stay friends..."

She said, a sad smile was adored on her face. It really hurt to admit the heart wrenching truth, when she wanted more than to be friends with her soulmate, but her feelings for Severus were not reciprocal.

"I see"

"Are you alright...?"

He quickly nodded, looking at her soft lavender eyes.

"What about you?"

She questioned, tearing her gaze away from his eyes.

"My soulmate passed..."

'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-
She talked to Remus about her students and their funny habits when they are in her class, distracting him from the pain of his wound. She turned her head to hear someone knocking at her door, she raised an eyebrow wonder who would be here so late at night.

Her heels clicked along the stone floor as she walked over the door, she opened door and was flabbergasted to see Severus. Severus was standing at her doorstep so late at night, and he looked as if he's been crying.

"What are you doing here Severus...?"

A kaleidoscope of feelings were swimming in his dark eyes.

"You once said that you have loved me since the day you met me?"

He blurted out, hoping that her love for him was still as strong as ever, and that he was not too late to feel her love again.

"Why are you bringing it up now, Severus?"

Her voice was stern, still angry for what her said to her earlier. A part of Severus was wishing to tell her how much he loved her but he was afraid she would reject his fellings for her.

"Actually, I want to tell you that I am-"

His eyes landed on Remus lupin who was sitting in her bed, and if that was not the worst part. The professor was shirtless. Anger was blinding him from seeing Remus was injured, and there were wounds all over his body. All he could see was Remus lupin in his soulmates room, shirtless and exhausted.

Severus felt jealousy and rage sink deeper into his chest, gripping like claws, ripping and tearing at his chest, embedding so deep as he moved his eyes back down to her. Her heart began to ache, as she heard her soulmates stone cold voice, Which was dripping with furry and dejection.

"Irene, why is lupin in your room...?"

She felt as if she was one of the students who was causing problems in his classroom, when Severus used his authority tone she stepped back slightly.

"Remus was hurt and I bumped into him earlier so I wanted to help him"

"Why didn't he just go to the hospital wing...?"

He scoffed, putting her ha d on the door frame as she clenched her jaw.

"He is in pain, Severus...why did you want to see me...?"

"I'll see you later, Irene..."

Before she could say anything else he already turned and left. There was a pain in his eyes as he walked down the poorly lit corridor back to his room.
