3rd Person

He woke up to a rapping on his door, it was bloody five in the morning, has someone lost their minds.

He found his bed empty and felt there might be a reason for her absence, so he pulled himself up and slipped a shirt over his chest.

When he reached the door he found Valkyrie's... Shadowhide's, owl Rollo.

He opens the letter with utmost delicacy and read the words that are carefully sprawled across the page.

Severus

My Sire has requested my presence at these early hours of the morning. I hope my owl didn't awaken you, but if he did... Get yo lovable aft up here and see my true mode, or you may never see it again.

I won't be able to write to anyone over the holidays, but the small golden disk in here had my comm number.

Dial: volume.
Top button: scroll up.
Bottom button: scroll down.
Center button: call/hang up.

You can only call me between the hours of 8:30 and 10 at night.

~ Love,

Your cheeky Cyber-Devil.

Severus pulled out the golden disk and placed it behind his right hand, slipping it under his silky hair.

Severus ran, up past the Slytherin territory past sleeping portraits and all the way to the entrance of the Great Hall.

I watched as Valkyrie stepped out onto the Carriage tracks and with a soft pulsing blue light, she was now approximately 15 meters tall.

Great I'm in love with a giant alien robot not weird at all, Severus thinks.

He watches as Valkyrie transforms into a really cool and fast car, scoops up her tired friends, honks her horn and speeds toward a massive green portal.

"She's a freak!" Shouts one student.

"I was her friend and she never told me!" Snaps another.

"I knew she was a freak, her tail, horns and wings. And those horrible changing eyes!" Shudders another.

Snape can't bare to hear people talk rudely of his love, so he reaches a high point and shouts.

"SILENCE!" he looks at everyone before continuing, glaring at Ronald Weasley. "She may not be a whole human like us, but she is one of us! She respects and loves you all, so dare not, to anyone, disrespect Ms Cain. For every day she is not here, she is out risking her life against the bad guys of her kind and even the Death Eaters. So when she comes back, those rude comments shall be erased. The audacity of you people."

This was maybe the longest speech he had ever given about one student. He glares at every student, daring anyone to cross him.

Satisfied with what he had done, Severus slipped back to his dungeons, opting to go to his home in Spinners End rather than staying with those insufferable dunderheads.

Spending half an hour packing his belongings, Severus made his way to the Great Hall for breakfast. Alerting the headmaster of his leave.

Breakfast was over and most of the children had left for the Hogwarts Express. Severus nodded his goodbyes to the staff and waltzed his way out to the open grounds before apperating to the outside of his magnificent little home.

It was a little big for one person. Three rooms, a library, a study, a large dining hall, a large kitchen and a cosy  lounging area attached to the front room.

Severus sighs softly, he wished he could share his little piece of joy with someone, anyone... Valkyrie. 

Severus felt lonely now that he had finally been handed another chance at love, and her Sire was ruining it for them both. So Severus decided to do what he usually would never dare to... he called her.

He sat in his favourite sofa and listened to the melody of her call tone before it was answered.

"Severus?" Shadow whispered raspingly.

"Are you okay!?" Severus exclaimed.

"No." she whispers weakly.

"Where are you, I'll come get you!" 

"No, I'm heading to my safe-place now."

"Were is it? I need to see your okay!"

"Severus, Uncle Breakdown and Uncle Knockout need me." she says softly, "I promise to call you back. I love you." 

And with that, Valkyrie hung up. His precious Shadow was hurt, there had to be something wrong if she was only running away now.

Severus waited a few hours and soon sat in defeat. A loud ringing noise in his ear alerted him that the Comm-Link was ringing. 

"Shadow?" he whispers. 

"Yes love?'' came the soft broken voice.

"Are you okay now?'' 

"Yes, Uncle Megsy allowed me onto the Nemesis for a while, but I have nowhere to go." she said with a guilty tone. "Before you ask, I am a rare case. Everyone, even humans respect me because of my spark. No Cybertronian can hurt or disrespect me. I usually do pranks as payback, but sometimes its too serious. The others at school bully me, some of the 'Cons disrespect me severely. Uncle Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons, but he cant harm me, much like Voldy and Potter." Valkyrie went on ranting and explaining things while Severus was listening contently.

"So, you will be okay for a few days? You could also come stay with me..." he offered.

"I don't want to burden you, honestly... Oh for primes sake! Screamer! leave 5-T-3-V-3 the scrap alone!" His Shadow snapped at another Cybertronian.

"You won't burden me, but you could do me a favour and send a picture of your bot form, I'd like to admire it."

"I'll send you a picture via the Comm, there is a small button on the back of the disk that will bring up the screen so you can see messages." 

There was an abrupt pause and a sound of metal colliding with metal, then Shadow spoke again.

"I swear, I'm gonna send him to the smelting pits with the Scraplets!" 

Severus chuckled and they ended their chat. He felt better, he was glad to know his little Shadow was safe.

Severus went to his bed, cuddling all of the pillows that lay there. The numerous pillows were the only thing that gave him comfort at night.

With heavy eyes, Severus lay his head on a pillow that smelled of His Shadow. He lifted his head and saw a letter beside him. He opened the letter gingerly and read the words that graced the page in an elegant script.

Severus,

I placed this pillow on your bed as we spoke, don't ask how. But I wanted to give you something to calm your nerves. I love you, and one day I may take up the offer to live with you. Starscream is starting to get on my nerves, he is such a she-mech.

I love you, please don't worry about me. Text me, voice mail me. I will always reply.

Love, 

Your Shadow

Severus held the pillow close and took deep breaths, calming himself and slowly drifting to sleep with pleasant dreams. No before admiring the tall, black and teal design of Shadows' alternate mode.
