Under Your Spell (Severus Snape/Student)

=Chapter 24=

Severus placed a cup of hot tea in front of me as I sat at THE dining room table. The same table that he served me breakfast on so many times during our time together. I was so happy and content. Why did it have to change?

Then, like a tsunami everything came crashing back to mind. The memories. The pain. The loneliness. My heart starts to race in anger as I reach out for the tea cup and take a big sip feeling the hot liquid ignite my throat.

Severus cleared his throat as he sat down on the opposite side of the table, "Now what can I do for you Mrs. Wright, seeing as you unfortunately stole my attention from the oh so peaceful sleep that I was in?" I felt his black eyes burn holes right through me.

"I- I really don't know... First, I came here to tell you that I don't love you anymore and then..." I paused not being able to find the right words, "it all came back to me."

"What came back to you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. How dare he raises an eyebrow at me. He knows what I'm talking about. God damn... how he frustrates me.

"The feelings that I've been trying to discard from you all this time! Everything! Severus Tobias Snape why must you always get on my nerves when we are trying to have a serious conversation!" I yell standing up slamming my fist onto the table insisting that he answer me.

Severus stood up so quickly that his chair flew back and just as I thought that he would snap back, he took a deep breath and walked away to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

Well that went well... The most productive thing that I have ever done today.

I wasn't going to leave until we talked about 'us'.

I walked around his flat and nothing changed. His books still piled high. His furniture still in the same place and the piano still there next to the fireplace. I plopped myself down onto the couch and grabbed made myself comfortable. Maybe a little too comfortable.

----------------------------------------------

I peeked an eye open and took a quick look around. Severus was not to be seen, but I did smell a very familiar smell. Bacon. He's making breakfast.

"I'm not going to bring it to you. Come to the table and you can have some." Severus said making me sound like I was a five year old. I groaned at his statement, but obediently, I stood up and walked over to the table looking at what was on the complete menu. Strawberry Crepes, Bacon, Sauage, scrambled eggs and orange juice. I heard my stomach grumble by the smell of this goodness.

"Well, dig in." And that I did. Stuffing my face and in mid bite I looked over at Severus who raised an eyebrow at me. "God woman, is your husband starving you at home?" I rolled my eyes at his comment.

----------------------------------------

"I'm so full... I feel like I'm 6 months pregnant." I say as I stand up rubbing my stomach.

"Well, we know it's not mine." Severus added.

"No shit, Captain Obvious." Though, being pregnant with Severus's child... I wouldn't mind that.

Okay, Wow. I just went there.

"I wouldn't mind you being the Mother of my children either." He adds as he smirks at me.

Ugh... I forgot he's a Legiliman.

Severus chuckled, "You forgot, huh?"

"Get out of my head, Severus."

"Yes, dear."

I smiled at that, but then quickly slugged Severus in his arm as I realized what he called me.

"We need to talk." I say grabbing his arm leading him to the couch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"We can't do this, Severus. I can't have you on my mind 24/7 anymore. I have Chris and he's treated me a hell of a lot better than you have. We need to be done." I huff out trying not to look at Severus feeling my eyes start to burn as tears start to form. It hurt to say those words, but it had to be said.

"Is that all you've come here to tell me?" He asked with his usual emotionless face. 

I couldn't stand his smartass remarks no longer. I slapped him right on his cheek. Hard. And before I knew it, I was out the door and headed back home to the one person that I knew would never hurt me. Chris. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I slammed the house door and go straight up stairs to take a bath. I didn't want to have any evidence of being around that old dungeon bat. I stripped out of my clothes and started the water.

*knock knock* 

"Babe, are you okay?" Chris's voice rang. Hearing those words made me break inside and the tears started flowing. He knocked again, "Ariana?"

"I'm fine." I let out between sobs.

"No you're not. I'm coming in." And before I could protest, he got into the shower still fully clothed and just held me as I cried for what felt like hours. No words were spoken. We just stood there. That's when I knew what I would needed to do.
