Odium (Severus Snape Fanfic) {Wattys 2016}

Chapter 17: Never ever ever...

Severus looked up at her, "What curse?"
"Don't ask me that please!" Celestia moved back and curled up inside the blankets. Severus sat on the edge of the bed, "I will wait for you tell me whenever you're ready. There is something I wanted to ask you." Celestia looked at him and told him to continue. "Would you like to go away from here for a few days?"
"Don't you have work and planning to do for when the school opens?" Severus smirked, "I am very much ahead of my schedule and its winter break. And trust me I'm more than ready to take on the dunderheads when they return." Celestia smiled, "Alright, but McGonagall she won't..."
"Don't worry about that I will have a chat with her, Right now please rest I will see you tomorrow." He moved close to her and gently placed a kiss on her forehead then he walked out of her room towards the headmistress' office.

"Dolly Beads!" The griffin moved, Severus stepped on the staircase which brought him to the entrance of McGonagall's office door he knocked on the door then opened it, "Severus how is she? I don't think its just lack of sleep there has to be something else wrong with her, her eyes..."
"Yes I know. She won't tell me anything, I tried to ask her. She said she was cursed, but she is not willing to tell me anything beyond that. Why don't you check with her grandmother maybe she might know something about it." Minerva nodded, "Yes, I will do that." Minerva moved behind her desk and searched for a parchment, "Madam there is something else I wanted to talk about. I was wondering if it would be alright if I took Celestia away for a few days maybe it will help her clear her mind. And just maybe she might tell me what's wrong with her."
"That's a brilliant idea Severus, where are you planning on taking her?"

"I was thinking of asking her, whatever she decides." Severus gave a curt nod and walked towards the door. "Severus!" he stopped midway, "Do you really like her?" Severus knitted his eyebrows for the sudden question thrown at him, "I...do."
"Take care of her, she's like my own." She smiled. Severus walked towards his room.

He opened the door to his room, then closed it Suddenly someone jumped on him from behind covering his eyes, "Guess who?"
"Celestia what on earth are you doing?" Celestia got down then looked at him and gave him a very wide smile, "Oh my Sevypoo!" she squished his cheeks with her palms then jumped off the ground into his arms.

-A few hours before-

Madam Pomfrey was sitting in her office when she heard someone step out of her floo. She turned to see the nurse who had visited before from St. Mungos, "Hello, Sandra what brings you here?"
"Poppy I have come to collect the new medicines I have given you." Poppy walked towards the cabinet where she had placed the box she handed the box to her, "What's the matter with them?"
"These medicines were not made properly they don't take effect at all , I should have checked them before giving them to you. Oh especially the bottles with the cannabis pills they are the worst, the medicine is taking effect almost after 48 Hours plus the effect is too much people start hallucinating and it basically made too strong it's working like a very powerful calming potion but at the same time it's generating more energy almost twice as powerful in the person. I am so glad you didn't give them to anyone. I should take these back thank you and sorry." Poppy sat back at her desk then it hit her, "Oh my,Miss Hamilton!!" She quickly rushed towards her room.

-Current time-

"Sevypoo, where were you I missed you like so much!" Celestia outstretched her hands, "So so much!" Severus narrowed his eyes, "Whats the matter with you?"
"I don't know but I'm really happy I just want to hug you!" She literally threw herself on him embracing him tightly with her legs around his waist and her hands wound around his neck, "I am never ever ever ever ever ever...(after a few minutes) ever ever ever...letting you go!" Severus tried to remove her hand from his neck even tried pushing her off of him but it was useless, she was holding on to him as if her life was depending on him. Severus stood there, "Celestia, will you please get off and sit down and talk like mature adults."
"Nopity nope! Never ever ever ever...." Severus huffed, "Okay don't but stop with the never ever!" Suddenly someone knocked on his door, "Get down Celestia someone is at the door, I need to open the door!"
"Never ever..."
