Yours truly | Severus Snape - Sequel to Sincerely yours

Potter boy

A/N: Ohhhh Hello hello dear readers! It has been a while! So, my life turned upside down and well... Honestly I feel like this year I've been just uncontrollably falling down the stairs. For 8 months. And I kind of hit the rock bottom (hopefully) a month ago. But now I think I'm ready to get back to writing. I will publish another "chapter" where I will specify the publishing schedule etc. 

For now, enjoy!

Silence.

Then, steps.

The door gives a quiet creak as Severus' pale face appears in sight.

"You came", he smirked and let Mary inside the room.

Nervously, Mary stepped past Severus and into the room, wondering what would happen after the door would be closed.

"Yeah, I did", Mary lets out a tense laughter, "I had to wait for Clary's Quidditch practise to start."

First, Severus seemed confused, but after noticing the look on Mary's face, a realisation hit him.

"Oh right. Of course", he muttered and nodded, a strand of his black hair sliding over his face with the motion.

After Mary had properly entered the room, Severus shut the door and turned to face the young witch. For a good while, they only stared at each other, an uncomfortable silence hanging in the air. Then, Severus licked his lips and took a deep breath.

"So, how was your day?"

Mary couldn't help but snort. Confused, Severus raised an eyebrow.

"Something funny about my question?" he demanded.

Mary rolled her eyes and took a couple of steps closer towards Severus.

"No", she said, although the tone within her voice spoke differently.

Having reached Severus, Mary lifted her hand and gently wiped the strand of hair off Severus' face, locking her green eyes with Severus' onyx ones.

"It's just... The last time we were alone, you were basically eating me, and now all I get is 'how was your day?'", Mary murmured, leaning closer towards the man standing before her.

Severus thin lips curled into a smirk as he raised an eyebrow.

"So there was something funny about my question", he noted.

Before giving Mary a chance to respond, he leaned in and pressed his lips against Mary's, causing Mary to yelp in surprise.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Severus murmured, smirking against Mary's lips. Mary let out a small laugh and took a step behind.

"It is, yes", she admitted, a burning red climbing up her face as she wondered how to explain Severus that their previous hot moment had left its marks on Mary's skin.

Seeing the puzzled look on Mary's face, Severus blinked his eyes, a hint of concern lingering on his face.

"Is something wrong?" he asked, taking a step closer to Mary.

"No, no!" Mary quickly responded, taking Severus' hand in hers. "Nothing like that. It's just..."

Mary took a deep breath, gathering all her courage, and grabbed the hem of Alison's turtleneck she was wearing. Just when she was about to start pulling it up, Severus grabbed Mary's wrists and stopped her.

"Mary!" he exclaimed, locking his eyes with Mary's. "You do not have to do anything like that. That's not why I invited you here."

For a moment, Mary stared at Severus, a confused expression on her face.
