The Blood Pact

Vega

Vega sat through each of her classes that day fidgeting with her fingers, drawing anxiously; the fear of what Severus needed her in his dorm for was taking over her ever thought.

The next day my nerves were building throughout each class. I had been constantly pestered with the questions "Are you okay?", "What happened?", "Is something wrong?" Naturally, it only served to make me more nervous. I didn't know what Severus could have planned when I spoke to him last night, but surely it will have gotten ten times worse. I thought a few times about backing out, about not going tonight, but every time I did I glanced at Moony; even if just for a moment, each time seeing the smile on his face and the happiness radiating from his eyes I couldn't allow him to lose that because I didn't go tonight. So, despite my better judgment, I went to Severus' dorm. As soon as the sun set I left my dorm with inconspicuous footsteps down the hall. I reached his dorm, and before knocking I took a moment to prepare myself for his requests. After a moment, I knocked on his door, and soon after I heard it open slowly.

"Ah, finally decided to show up have you?", He said with a perverted grin as he looked me up and down.

I sigh not having prepared myself enough, "Why did you want me here Severus?"

He steps aside and gestures for me to come in, "I wanted us to... talk. Come in before someone sees you."

I walk into the room and look around for a moment noticing his giant Slytherin flag, an almost fully melted candle next to a book and a painting hung on his wall. Severus closes the door quickly and quietly before turning around and staring at me like a predator looking at his prey.

"You look so nice when you're annoyed, love," He said scanning me up and down once more.

I scoff and roll my eyes at his weak attempt to hit on me.

He grins, "I can see you're already in a bad mood."

"Well, Snivellous I don't exactly want to be here. I am only here so that you'll keep your mouth shut. Now what did you want me to talk about?", I said looking up at him with an intense look in my eyes determined to keep Remus' secret just that.

"Oh Vega," he says as he stepped closer with a wide smirk on his face, "Always so... straight to the point aren't you?"

"I just want to- discuss a few things, that's all."

"What do you want to discuss Severus," I said with a straight face and crossed arms.

He moves so close I can feel his hot breath across my face, "I think you know exactly what I want to discuss darling."

I turned my face to the right slightly putting distance between us, "Severus," I said through gritted teeth, "What do you want to discuss."

His hand reaches up and grips my chin forcing my head back down, "No need for the attitude love," He steps closer now that I can't turn away, "I think you know what I want Vega."

"Just tell me what you want," I said with an annoyed anger in my voice.

"Damn it! You're always so difficult!", He ran his hand over his face with irritation in his eyes, "Fine, I'll tell you what I want."

His irritated look switched to his typical snarky demeanor; He moved his up to caress my cheek, "Have I ever told you how pretty you look when you're irritated," He responded, pleased I agreed.

"Severus."

He twirls a strand of my hair around his finger, "Yes, yes I'm getting to the point. Don't rush me, darling."

He leaned in to whisper in my ear, "What if I tell you I have a little... proposal for you."

"And what is your proposal then," I said, trying my hardest to not lean away despite my discomfort with such a proximity.
