Odium (Severus Snape Fanfic) {Wattys 2016}

Chapter 14: The Han's

       Severus was beginning to wake up the sunrays were hitting his pale face, he slightly opened his eyes and scowled at the sun. No one I repeat NO ONE can possibly get away from the infamous Severus Snape Scowl not even the sun. He got up and walked towards the kitchen. He filled the kettle with water and placed it on the stove top then opened the cabinet took out a cup. Last night's event were still playing on his mind, he very much regretted taking her there. After coming back he went to meet Celestia but she told him she wanted to be alone. He sat there trying to scrutinize every little detail about yesterday he picked up his cup and drank. The door to his room opened and McGonagall entered his room, "Good morning Severus!" Severus looked up at her in annoyance, "Good Morning headmistress what brings you here that to barging in like this!!" Minerva looked at him and smirked, "Well I thought you wanted this..." she showed him a letter it had his name written on it "Celestia wanted me to give it to you. But I guess I will come another time..." Severus immediately stopped her, "No, please give me the letter!" Minerva handed him the letter. He took it and was about to open but stopped then looked at Minerva and raised an eyebrow. Minerva took the hint and walked towards the door but stopped then turned and lowered her spectacles slightly then looked towards the counter then Severus, then she smirked, "What are you having Severus?"
"Uh-t-tea."

This time it was her turn to raise her eyebrow, "One quick suggestion, next time try to have tea by ADDING the tea leaves. Good day!" with that she walked out of the room. Severus looked at his cup. Then he realized he was having just hot water for the past 10 mins. He quickly opened the letter.

***

Severus,
          Please forgive me for last night's incident. I never meant to be rude towards the Malfoy's. Anger got the best of me. I wanted to write you this letter to inform you I have some work and I will be travelling for a few days. See you soon. Please don't blame yourself for yesterday.

Celestia.

Severus quickly got up and rushed out towards Celestia's room. He knocked on the door, in his heart he just wished she hadn't left. But unfortunately no one opened. The painting on the wall next to the door looked at him, "She just left a few minutes back, she looked upset. She went that way." The painting pointed towards the hallway. Severus thanked the painting and strode down the hallway. He ran towards the Great Hall. He saw Celestia talking to McGonagall. He quickly caught his breath and walked towards her. Celestia turned to see Severus. Minerva smiled and walked towards the Great Hall. Now they both stood there, Celestia looked at him, Severus had never felt so anxious in his life.

"Celestia, I need to tell you something..." Celestia stopped him. "Severus, will you wait for me?" Severus looked at her, he couldn't bring himself to say anything he just nodded. She turned and started walking towards the gate, she stopped and turned she walked closer to him. She went on her toes and kissed him. Severus leaned in and his arms found its way around her waist. He felt something odd she was kissing him as if she would never meet him again. Severus pulled away from her and looked at her beautiful face.

"Awwww, look at them so cute!" Celestia and Severus turned the entire Hogwarts staff was peeping through the doors of the Great Hall. Severus growled at them in anger, "Hogwarts offers many things unfortunately privacy isn't one of them!". Celestia turned his face so now he was looking at her. "Thank you for yesterday. Goodbye, See you soon." With that Celestia walked towards the gate and apparated.

Celestia apparated to a small village in the West Lake district of China. She walked through the tea bushes, it was evening. But sky was dark and gloomy. She walked for a few more minutes before she spotted the Siheyuan (Image). She walked towards the door and knocked. After a few minutes a young girl opened the door.
