Odium (Severus Snape Fanfic) {Wattys 2016}

Chapter 9: What goes around comes around.

                  

    The next morning again there was a knock on Celestia's door, she was sick and tired of this everyday morning routine. She got up and stumbled her way to the door. She opened it to see Severus waiting outside; he pushed pass her and walked inside. "Okay Good morning Severus, what brings you here so early?" Severus looked rather edgy. "Are you all right, Severus?"

He finally looked at her, "Did we kiss yesterday?"
"Yes, we did." He hummed in reply and sat down on the sofa. "Do you regret it or something?" Celestia asked as she stood in front of him. "NO, no I was just wondering whether it happened or not." She smiled and sat next to him, "Oh, it definitely happened. Also did you come over just to ask this at...." She yawned then clumsily checked his watch. "Six in the morning... I'm sleepy" She tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder. He hesitantly wrapped his hand around her shoulder. And before they knew it both of them were fast asleep in each other's arms. After a few hours Severus woke up, he tried to get up without waking Celestia but it was futile. "What time is it?" She asked rubbing her eyes, stretching a little.

"It's 9am,  we could get breakfast." Celestia got up. "Sure, give me 5 minutes." She walked to her bedroom. After a few minutes she walked out, "All ready let's leave." She then looked at Severus, "You might want to straighten your coat, it's wrinkled." He looked at it then opened the door adjusting his coat.

"Celestia, what is..."
"Grandma what are you doing here?" Celestia's eyes widened when she saw it was her grandmother outside her door with the headmistress. Severus looked at them then bowed and walked towards the great hall hastily. Grandma Dorothy kept staring at Severus till he finally disappeared in the shadows."Please come in, Grandma, Headmistress, I was actually just headed to the Great hall for breakfast."
"Well I brought you some croissants that I made. How are you?" Dorothy said as she hugged her granddaughter.

"I am going to take your leave I had come here to show Dorothy your room." Minerva said to Celestia, "Dorothy we will talk later, right now you enjoy your breakfast with your granddaughter, and I will see you around." With that Minerva left.

"Tea ?" Celestia walked towards the kitchen. "Yes, was that Severus Snape that just walked out of your room, disheveled?"
"Yes grandma and it's just we slept and his clothes got wrinkled."

Dorothy's head almost spun 360 degrees towards Celestia.

"You did what with him? Do you know how old he is? Do you know he was a death eater?"
"Grandma we just slept together. Oh god not what you are thinking, will you calm down."

"Why was he in your room so early then....Sleeping??"
"Grandma would you like me to tell you all the juicy details?" Celestia said wiggling her eyebrows. "Celestia Victoria Hamilton this better be a joke!" Celestia started laughing. "Gran of course I am  joking. Here's your tea." They sat there talking about how the past few months had been. "I saw your picture in Witches Weekly with Arran Dyson, you two look very fine together. Do you have something to tell me?" Celestia kept her cup down."Not even close, Arran is a good guy but he's, how should I say it...hmmm he's boring, plain boring all he talks about are his tasks, I mean I do know he's an Aurror but he's very uninteresting for me." Dorothy observed the girl. "And you find Severus Snape interesting, but in the newspaper it was written he's gay." Celestia immediately got up and picked up the Daily Prophet. Marcus had apologized for the false article , she showed it to her grandmother. "He is not gay grandma, and he is very interesting."
"All I can say is stay away from him Celestia, please he's not what he seems like. Don't make the mistake your mother made." Celestia knew what she had with Severus was just recreational it wasn't going to last, she needed to do it to hide her own secret. "Don't worry he's just a friend and nothing more. So are you here just to give me breakfast?" Dorothy smiled, "I will be staying here for a few days. That's if you will have me." Celestia smiled, "Of course! So why don't you settle down and I will be back in an hour's time, okay?"
"Yes, thank you." Celestia grabbed the map she had, "In case I'm not back and you wish to go to headmistress's office, use this map and the password to her office is something Lemon, don't quite remember it." With that Celestia walked to the potions classroom.
