Snape's Apprentice (Severus Snape Love Story)

Part 10

I almost forget that he has some explaining to do and his kisses become longer and more intense.

I put my hands on his shoulders and push him away.

"Explain. Now." I say in a commanding tone. He licks his lips as if he can still get a taste of mine on them, which he may can.

"Clarina, I am your intended. I am a Deatheater. But I wish you no ill will nor any muggleborns for that matter. I have watched you for a long time. We, all the professors here have especially your Grandfather. We are going to marry me whether you want to or not, but know this. I will protect you from everything as much as I can and that we may find comfort in each other. I will do all I can for you."

I listen to his words.

"What about love?" I ask and his gaze hardens.

"What does love have to do with it?" He says.

"It has everything to do with it! I am not a breeding cow. I do not want to be with you if it is not for love. Yes love may grow but... This is not what I want!" I finish speaking and he grips me by the arm and brings me to him.

"We cant always get what we want Clarina! You know we have no choice! Why cant we let it grow? Give it a chance? You know as much as I do, that our survival depends on  this union." I lower my head and raises his hand to lift my face. "Think about it Clarina." He releases me and grabs his wand, flicking it and wordlessly is clothed fully once more and leaves me in thought.

I climb into my bed. I know that I will fall for him. Even as early as it is right now, I know it, I never open up to anybody... Hell! I have never even kissed anyone besides what I have been forced to.

Maybe he will fall in love with me, its all I can hope...
