Where Your Loyalties Lie - {Severus Snape x Reader}

-110-

The girls are sweet-talking and petting the kind looking dog that hasn't stopped waving its tail ever since I came around the corner. The stunned look on my face hasn't gone anywhere. I can't believe my eyes..! Sirius..- What the hell is he doing in here?! Better yet - how did he get in here?! He's just sitting there in his dog form in middle of the castle's hallway like there is no care in the world. Then, for everyone's surprise, the dog got up on its all four paws and starts walking towards me. The girls keeps gasping and admiring the cute dog in union. Without taking his eyes off of me, Sirius comes stand beside me and I have no choice, but place a hand on top of his head. Damn it... "Is that your dog, Professor?" one of the students asks. Slight panic hits:"Uh..-", "What's its name?" another one ask. Merlin! What I'm going to say so these students won't gossip about this to the rest of the school?! Surely, Severus would get furious if he'd found out Sirius has found his way to Hogwarts. Think, (Y/N)! THINK!

There are now sweat of pears streaming down my temple:"I-it's a uh..-", but before I could think or say anything else, the dog jumps on its two feet which makes me boggle and automatically turn my head to look at him. Huh? It all happens so fast; As soon as I turn my head to take a look at the dog to see what's he doing, he places the front paws against side of my arm and gives a quick - yet long lick... Right against my lips! All of the girls starts giggling and letting out the 'aaaww' when this happened. My eyes are wide and half murderous as I'm staring down at the man in his dog form. You..!! But Sirius is just waving his tail and looking back up at me like a normal dog would do after licking a person they like. This darn..- THING! With that, I grab him by the black fur behind the neck, turn us around and start walking along the hallway. "P-professor..?!" the girls gets stunned, little bit scared what I'm going to do to it. Then again, they know I'm not like the Carrows or Snape, so neither of them runs after to try stop me.

Soon, we're in the Room of Hidden Things. After coming close to the Vanishing Cabinet, I noticed a pile of Sirius's clothes near the hanger Remus and I leave our coats. He must've left them there after walking thru the cabinet. "What the hell were you thinking?!?!" I hiss arms crossed over the chest while having back facing him as he's dressing back up behind all the junk around us. "I couldn't find you or Remus anywhere in Diagon Alley, so I decided to come look for you two from here. Thought disguising myself in a dog form wouldn't raise as much suspicions as a man, wandering around the castle..." Sirius sounds amused while buttoning up his shirt. I keep muttering under my breath how dumb he can be, which only amuses him more. "What if you would have run into one of the Carrows? Or better yet, into Snape?!" I keep hissing. "But I didn't." he smirks. "Good thing I happened run into you, (Y/N). Out of all people in Hogwarts." he continues while tugging the shirt inside the pants. "Bet you would have licked Remus's face too." I scoff, still pouting the fact he managed to do such a thing. I can still feel the disgusting saliva on me.

Sirius lets out a chuckle as he comes behind the pile of furnitures he put the clothes on:"I was aiming for your cheek, but... Guess I got lucky.". He whispered that last part right in my ear before walking past me. The disapproving look on my face won't change:"Only luck you had was that there were students around. Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking with those teeth in your mouth right now.". And that he was in the dog form. Have no heart to kick a dog... Then, I shook my head to refocus what's going on. "What are you doing in here anyway?" I ask. Sirius doesn't know where to begin. It's like that carefree behavior was now gone. "It's about Harry." he finally reveals. Both of my eyebrows raise and ears perks up:"What about him?". "He hasn't answered to my calls." he reply. Light frown visits on my face out of confusion:"Your... Calls?". "Yes, you see... I gave Harry one of the pairs of the Two-way mirrors - which belonged to his father, back at the Burrow on Christmas Eve as a present." he tells. "Two-way mirror?" I wonder out loud. Can't remember hearing such a thing before.
