a snape and a Malfoy

WHAT TO DO ?

---

As the third year at Hogwarts drew to a close, Cera Snape found herself increasingly unsettled. Summer break, which was supposed to be a respite from school pressures, instead brought her a deep sense of confusion. Draco Malfoy’s frequent companionship with Pansy Parkinson stirred feelings in Cera that she didn’t quite understand.

One warm afternoon, Cera was alone in the garden of her adoptive family’s home, lost in her thoughts. The blooming flowers around her seemed to mock her inner turmoil. Her thoughts were dominated by Draco, and she couldn’t shake the feeling of jealousy that had taken root.

Severus Snape, her adoptive father, found her sitting quietly, clearly troubled. “Cera, you seem miles away. Is something troubling you?”

Cera forced a small smile, trying to brush off her emotions. “It’s nothing, really.”

Severus, sensing her distress, sat beside her. “I know something’s bothering you. You’ve been distant lately. If you want to talk about it, I’m here.”

Cera hesitated before finally speaking. “It’s Draco. He’s been spending so much time with Pansy, and it’s making me feel... jealous. I don’t even know why I feel this way. I thought I had everything figured out, but now I’m so confused.”

Severus regarded her with a thoughtful expression. “Sometimes, seeing someone with another person can stir up feelings we didn’t realize we had. It might be worth exploring these emotions, but remember, clarity takes time.”

Cera nodded, her mind racing. She was determined to sort through her feelings but wasn’t ready to confront Draco just yet. She decided that she needed more time to understand what she truly wanted.

The days of summer passed in a blur of introspection. Cera chose to observe Draco from a distance, trying to sort out her emotions. She continued to spend time with the Golden Trio but felt detached, as her thoughts were often occupied with Draco and the complex emotions he evoked.

One evening, as she sat alone in her room, she reflected on the summer’s events. Her feelings for Draco were becoming clearer, but she remained unsure how to address them. The thought of confessing her feelings was daunting, and she wasn’t ready to face that confrontation.

Instead, she resolved to take things slowly, to figure out her emotions on her own terms. The complexity of her feelings was something she needed to understand before taking any steps forward. For now, Cera decided to focus on her own self-awareness and let the future unfold naturally.

As the summer drew to a close and the new school year approached, Cera prepared herself for the challenges ahead, both academic and personal. She knew that sorting out her feelings for Draco was just one part of a larger journey, and she was determined to navigate it with patience and care.
