Severus Snape One shots

Always

Summary:

It's the Triwizard Tournament. After years of being a professor in Beauxbaton, you will finally have a chance to go back to the place once you have met him.

TW: NSFW and bad French.

"You can't hide on your chambers, Severus."

"Why would I want to hide?"

"You can't hide from her, either."

Severus came to a halt and looked at Minerva with the same grim expression he always had.

"I'm not going to hide from her, and why would I?"

Minerva raised an eyebrow, saying, "I don't believe you."

"Then don't," Severus said, continuing to walk. "There's also a chance she won't be coming with them, you know."

"But I'm sure you know you want her to come with them."
 
Severus' pulse beats faster at the notion of you returning here after all this time. When you left Hogwarts, it was bittersweet. He was still fresh from becoming a professor, and you are in your final year. The snatched looks, the light squabbling, and the mocking
 
He totally missed it.
 
He also missed the sensation of your lips on his. Your body against his while you made love in front of only the moon and stars.
 
But everything comes to an end.

You graduated, and your parents want you to leave Hogwarts. Severus dissolved your "relationship" (though it was actually not official) because it would be impossible for both of you to feel attached while being apart.
 
Yes, you and he both cried.
 
He is never given the opportunity to express his true feelings. It's not the same as Lily's. Much, much deeper.
 
And it frightened him. That's why he kept his emotions hidden once more. And he has been regretting it every day since you left.
 
But that was in the past. It is no longer the same.

~~~

As you gaze into your lap, you breathe deeply. It's been a long time since you returned to this school that you once considered home.
 
A spot where you first, and most likely last, meet the one you love.
 
Your parents decided that since you want to be a professor, they want you to work at Beauxbaton rather than Hogwarts because it is more "proper" for their daughter.
 
You had a good time teaching and working there. You've studied French, told stories about your time here, and become one of the greatest professors at the school, but it's not quite the same without him.
 
It's been a living nightmare. The desire for his touch, or perhaps simply his existence.

Maybe it still hurts.
 
Is it still true? Do you have feelings for him?
 
Is he still interested in me?
 
That is why you are here with them—to support them and possibly to see the halls you tripped over on your route to the Great Halls.
 
"Tu vas bien, ma chérie?" (Are you okay, Darling?)
 
You raise your head and smile softly. "Yes. I'm sorry, Madam. It's just... it's been a while."
 
Madame Maxime nods. "Ah yes, I remembered your previous love life here."
