Petals

Chapter Ten

You sat in Severus's lap kissing him deeply. He straddle your hips his hands running up your shirt. He freezes relaxing once you told him it was okay. He fondles your boobs you rubbing against his member in response. That's when you heard a knock at his door putting the fun to a hault. You get off of him wondering if it's urgent by the way they began to bang. Snape rushes to open it to find one of his students clinging to her arm. She runs into Snape's grasp while her teacher asked what's wrong. You push down your jealousy as you come to meet her as well making sure she was fine. She blinks not expecting you there. She peers down at your wrists as well seeing the scars. She quickly turns her attention back to Snape saying she didn't want to live anymore. You can't help but take in it's a different girl this time seeing that girls often seeked after him. You bit your lip feeling selfish. This was just a child seeking her mentor for help. You offered your guidance, but she just cries clinging on to her professor. He offers to take her to the infirmary promising to be back soon. You nodded as he wraps an arm around her taking her with care. You sigh as you make your way to your cold bed. You looked at the clock seeing it was eleven. You really did hope the girl was okay. You decide to wait up still feeling the heat between your legs. You look at the nightstand seeing the same picture you have back at Camp Half Blood. It makes you smile that he has the exact ones. You suddenly got the idea to take a few photos of yourself for him knowing you saw it on his dresser. You get up shivering at the cold floor. As you grab it, you take off the lens cap  and point the camera towards youself. You snap a photo turning it around to see the results. You screamed as you turned around to face Hermès.

" You guys seriously have to stop appearing in his room! You could of fucking said something!"

" I didn't see anything inappropriate. I want to talk about your father Voldemort. We're under suspicion that he's working with Cronus. We also want you to learn with Snape while you're here."

" We only have a few days together-"

" I'll extend it to a week if you do. Two if you make great progress."

" He's wondering if he can come with me back to the camp."

He sits silent for a while.

" I'll mention it. I don't trust Voldemort afraid that he's messing with your magic. Your mother has told us you've been holding back."

" It's complicated Hermès."

" The less you help the more my children die."

" Like how you tried to kill my children?"

" It was a mistake. I'm sorry. It was cruel."

" Like the children Hera created? They're just children. Your mind is completely in the wrong head space."

" There's a reason why there isn't any more children gods and goddess. We were dangerous as children, and you repopulating like a rabid scares me most of all."

" I'm sorry that Pam did this to me, but it is what it is."

" Speaking of that, I wonder if he did more. From what your mother told me, you were born a God somehow and had your immortality stripped. I wonder if it really made a difference, and you just didn't care to show your true power. That's why the children are the way they are is because of you."

" I don't know how strong I am. I was never given a reason to see. I can't manipulate with water though, and I don't know where that came from. I could always heal, but it's faster than it has ever been."

" Then why does your wrist look like that?"

He pointed at it grimacing at you. You covered it up feeling self conscious. You tell them they are different changing the topic back to the children.

" Beside that topic, they can do things from the womb-"

" They nearly destroyed a city you mean."

" They won the battle you mean."

" ... You don't like destruction, do you?"

" I guess not-"

" I've seen how careful you were down below. That's why you don't know you're true strength."

" Yes. I can cause an Earthquake if I'm not careful. It's really all the deaths, you know? The idea of all that blood-"

" Is what makes us a winner."

" They we're kids Hermès."

" They were the enemy."

" They were the same age as your own."

" Doesn't. Matter. Get. The. Job. Done."

At that, he lights up his sandals the wings fluttering on the back. He goes through the window without another word. You sit on the bed and look back at the picture. You were surprise by his soft gaze towards you though it still looked perplexed. You find the Gods insane, but it doesn't make a difference. You word never will.

You lay back down waiting for Snape. You were almost asleep when he snuck back in at three in the morning. He was with her for four hours irking you. You understand he's a teacher, but did he really had to stay with her that long? She should of been asleep herself for school though you assume she wasn't going. You wouldn't anyway. He snuggles up to you smelling her perfume. Perfume in the middle of the night after cutting herself? It almost seemed attention hogging, but you felt guilty at your thoughts. He takes the camera away from you standing up when he saw the photo. He then sees the   red button was still flashing. He presses a button then going to his recording. He turns down the volume as he listens gripping the camera at how he talked to you. You just close your eyes trying to go to sleep through it. Once he was gone, he stopped it and put it next to the photo on the night stand. He snuggles up to you giving multiple kisses on your next as he pulls you in close. Your eye lids finally become heavy drifting off to sleep.
