Professor Snape

Chapter 6

You could barely sleep last night, thoughts of Severus running through your mind. It was torture, you were aching for his touch but you weren't sure if he was ever going to take it that far.

You knew seeing him today was going to be more difficult than any other time, but you had to control yourself.

Sitting in divinations, completely distracted. You weren't dreading seeing him, you really wanted to but you weren't sure how he was going to act after last night.

Class ends and you pack your things up, looking through your bag you realize that you've forgotten your potions book in your room, you had been so distracted all night and all morning you didn't even think about it.

You panic, trying to make your way through the crowded halls back to your dorm to get the book and hopefully make it to potions on time.

Everyone was in your way, packed tightly in the main hall as you try to hurry without trampling every one over. You make it to your room and rummage through your things searching for your book and you finally find it.

You check the clock on your wall and see that class starts in one minute, there was no way you would make it in time. You hurry up and shove the book in your bag, run out of your dorm, and through the common room.

You finally arrive outside his classroom door and you know you're well past late. You open the door as he's speaking to the class and he stops mid sentence and everyone turns to look at you.

You hurry up and sit down in an empty seat, being one all the way up front. As you sit down the whole class is still silent as Severus steps in front of your desk.

"Ms. L/n..." he began. "You are late." He says in a angry tone.

"I know sir I'm sor-"

"Is it really that hard...to. simply.. follow my instructions? Or perhaps you just think you are just too good to do so?" He says in his scolding teacher voice.

"Sir I-" he doesn't even let you speak.

"Detention. With me. After class." He states firmly.

You look down avoiding his stare, embarrassed and kind of sad you disappointed him...also a little mad, it's not like he said. It wasn't your fault and you did not do it on purpose.

Class continues and you try to focus on your work as much as possible so he doesn't get mad again but you were struggling, you can't believe that just happened, that's the first time he's talked to you like that...he should know you do not think that you're "too good" to follow his rules or anything along those lines so you know he just said so to get under your skin and make a scene for the class and you were not having it.

You hated how one minute he was the man you would have truly intimate moments with and then the next minute it had to go back to this.

Class ends and you stay seated but still cleaning up your things while everyone else leaves the room. You sit in your seat looking down at your hands as you hear the door close.

Severus stands up from his seat and stands in front of your desk once again. He clears his throat so you look up at him. He looked at you with his eyebrow raised.

"Care to tell me why you were late?" He asks.

You sigh. "I forgot my book in my dorm and I had to go back and get it, I tried to hurry but everyone was being irritating as fuck crowding the halls." You say.

"Language. Ms L/n." He states.

You laugh a little, last night this man had you up against a wall and now he's asking you to watch your language?!
