So You're Back?: A Snape Love Story (Under Major Editing)

Chapter Twenty

THE VERY NEXT DAY SNAPE WAS CALLED INTO DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE. HE KNEW IT WASNT GOING TO BE GOOD BUT A PART OF HIM HOPED IT WOULD BE THAT HE WAS GOING TO PRAISE HIM FOR HIS WORK WITH RASABITH. THINKING OF WHICH, SHE HAS NOT LEFT HIS MIND SINCE HE MET HER AND HE STILL COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. THEY HAVE SPENT EVERYDAY TOGETHER MAYBE SHE HAD GROWN ON HIM? MAYBE HE WAS DEVELOPING FEELINGS? HE LAUGHED AT THE THOUGHT BECAUSE HE STILL LOVED LILY RIGHT? COULD HE LOVE ANOTHER? LILY WAS A LOT OF THINGS AND SO IS RASABITH. THEY BOTH ARE VERY ALIKE BUT RASABITH IS SO MUCH MORE. ANOTHER THOUGHT CAME TO HIS MIND, WHAT WAS HE GOING TO DO WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDED? HOW WILL HE FORGET ABOUT HER? LAST NIGHT HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HE LOST CONTROL. IT WAS WRONG OF HIM. BUT WHY DID IT FEEL SO RIGHT?

HIS HOPE OF PRAISE WAS SOON PUT TO REST WHEN HE ENTERED ALBUS' OFFICE AND SAW CORRESUANDRA WAS THERE WITH HER ARMS FOLDED NOT LOOKING TOO PLEASED. HE REMEMBERED HOW IT WOULD SEEM THAT SHE WAS NEVER HAPPY SO HE SHRUGGED IT OFF AND TURNED IN ATTENTION BACK TO THE HEAD MASTER.

"YOU WISHED TO SEE ME ALBUS?" DRYLY.

WHAT HE REALLY WANTED TO DO WAS PUNCH THIS GUY. THIS GIY WAS ALWAYS AROUND AND KEEPING HIM AWAY FROM RASABITH. HIS RASABITH. HE HAD TO MENTALLY SLAP HIMSELF SHE IS NOT HIS. WELL THATS ANOTHER THING THEY BOTH HAD IN COMMON. BUT LILY WAS DEAD AND RASABITH WAS NOT. HE HAD TO STOP COMPARING THE BOTH OR ELSE IT WOULD NOT END WELL FOR HIM. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, HE WAS FALLING FOR HER? AND IF HE DID, HE HOPED THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD TURN OUT BETTER. (HE WAS)

"YES, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOU AND MISS REQUIEMS RELATIONSHIP?" DUMBLEDORE DRAGGED ON.

THAT PULLED HIM OUT OF HIS THOUGHTS, "WAIT. WHAT RELATIONSHIP?"

"DUMBLEDORE SAW YOU TWO LAST NIGHT HAVING SEX IN YOUR CHAMBER." CORRESAUNDRA TOLD HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL HER ANGER ANYMORE.

HE THEN REMEMBERED LAST NIGHT, EVERYTHING.

"WAIT, WE WERE NOT HAVING SEX. SHE CAME INTO MY ROOM DRUNK WANTING TO HAVE SEX WITH ME BUT I DIDNT WANT TO."

CORRESUANDRA BURTS OUT LAUGHING. "HAVE SEX WITH YOU? GOOD ONE."

SNAPE GLARES AT HER.

"NO MATTER THE CASE, WE NEED YOU TWO IT END IT." CORRESAUNDRA YELLED, HE GOT THE HINT SHE DIDNT LIKE HIM.

"BUT SHE HAS MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS. SHE IS WAITING FOR ME RIGHT NOW TO CONTINUE OUR SESSION."

"THERE WILL BE NO MORE SESSIONS. AND AFTER TODAY RASABITH WILL BE WITH DRAWLED  FROM HOGWARTS."

THAT LAST SENTENCE WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE SEVERUS BOIL OVER.

"ISNT THIS ALL EXTREME?" HE GOT LOUD. "AND WHAT REUIN ALL HER HARD WORK? HAVE HER GO BACK HOME TO WHERE SHE WILL BE LOOKED AT AS IF SHE IS A DANGER? TO LEAVE AND GO BACK HOME TO ONLY FEEL LIKE SHE ISNT IMPORTANT? SHE IS IMPORTANT. AS WELL SHE IS SMART, AND EVEN TALENTED."

"SEVERUS, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED." ALBUS FINALLY SPOKE UP.

HE HUNG HIS HEAD LOW. HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HE LET THE ANGER GET TO HIM. HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WHEN HE FINALLY IS READY AND IS ALREADY IN LOVE WOTH SOMEONE HE HAS TO LET HER GO. HE WOULD JUST HAVE TO SWALLOW HARD AND LOCK EVERYTHING AWAY. THIS TIME WHEN HE DID, NO ONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO IT.

RASABITH HAS BEEN WAITING FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE EVER FOR SEVERUS TO APPEAR. SHE WANTED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT LAST NIGHT. SHE FELT BAD THAT SHE AMBUSHED A TEACHER AND GAVE INTO THE DARE. NOT THAT SHE WOULD OBJECT. TO HER HE WAS HER TYPE. THE TYPE THAT MAKES HER KNEES GO WEAK. SHE WANTED HIM THAT SHE KNEW. SHE ALREADY CAME TO TERMS THAT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM BUT SHE KNEW HE STILL LOVED LILY. IT WAS JUST HER LUCK.
SHE FINALLY SNAPPED OUT OF HER THOUGHTS WHEN SNAPE ENTERED THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENTS LOOKING LIKE HE WAS JUST TOLD SOMEONE HAD DIED. HE SAW HER AND SOON HID IT AWAY.

"SNAPE!" SHE RAN OVER TO HIM. SHE HAD TO GET IT ALL OFF OF HER CHEST.

HE HELD UP HIS HAND TO HER FOR HER TO STOP RUNNING. "RASABITH, WE NEED TO TALK." IT WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.

"OKAY THERE IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WITH YOU TOO." THIS WAS GOING TO KILL HER BUT IT HAD TO BE ADMITTED.

"ITS ABOUT LAST NIGHT."

THIER FACES DIDNT FALTURE.

"WHAT ABOUT IT?" SHE ASKED, CHIPPER.

"NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS A MISTAKE AND WAS VERY INAPPROPRIATE. I AS AN EDUCATOR WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS FALL OR EVEN TRY ANYTHING WITH A GIRL LIKE YOU." IT KILLED THEM BOTH. RASABITH WAS QUICKER TO SHOW HER EMOTIONS.

"WHAT YOU SAYING?" SHE ASKED.

"YOU AND ME, CAN NEVER BE." HE TOLD HER REGRETFULLY.

"WHY?" SHE QUESTIONED.

HE COULDN'T TELL HER THAT HER SISTER WAS BEHIND THIS, IT WOULD MAKE HER GO MAD. SO WITHOUT HIM EVEN THINKING OR KNOWING WHAT HE WAS SAYING HE SAID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO HIS MIND. "BECAUSE YOUR A MUDBLOOD." HE WISHED HE NEVER SAID THAT.

"WHAT? IM NOT A MUDBLOOD!?" THEN SHE REMEMBERED THAT WAS THE SAME THING HE SAID TO LILY. WHEN HE CALLED HER THAT THEY NEVER SPOKE AGAIN. THEN IT HIT HER, SHE ALWAYS KNEW HE LOVED LILY, BUT THE WORST PART WAS HE WAS TRYING TO GET RID OF HER AND TO HER THAT MEANS HE THINKS SHE IS LILY. "OH WAIT I GET IT." SHE TOOK A DEEP BREATH, "I CANT BELIEVE I WAS SO STUPID! YOU STILL LOVE LILY!" SHE GOT LOUDER WITH EACH WORD.

HE DOES HAVE THE FOGGIEST IDEA WHERE THOSE WORDS CAME FROM. NOR DID HE GET WHY SHE WOULD BRING LILY INTO THIS ARGUMENT. MAYBE SHE THOUGHT THAT HE THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS LILY. WELL YES THERE ARE SIMILARITIES BUT THEY ARE MOSTLY DIFFERENT. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SHE WOULD THINK THIS WAY. WHEN HE SAID NOTHING BECAUSE HE WAS THINKING SHE STARTS STORMING AWAY. HE SNAPS OUT OF IT AND RUNS AFTER HER, "IM NOT IN LOVE WITH HER."

"OH I KNOW YOU ARE. TELL ME, HOW COULD YOU LOVE THAT PERSON? SHE BROKE YOUR HEART AND MARRIED YOUR WORST ENEMY? NOT TO MENTION HAD A CHILD WITH HIM!" SHE SAID ALMOST IN TEARS. THAT MADE HIM ANGRY.

"NOW THAT CROSSED THE LINE."

"YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE ITS THE TRUTH." SHE BLURTED OUT.

THAT LEFT HIM TO BE SILENT AND HE DIDNT REALIZE WHERE THEY WERE UNTIL HE SAW TE FAMILIAR PORTRAIT TO THE COMMON ROOM. SHE COULD ALWAYS HIT THE RIGHT NERVE ON HIM WITHOUT TRYING. A PART OF HIM LIKED THAT AND WOULD MISS THAT. HE TOOK ONE LAST LOOK INTO HER EYES ABD SAW SADNESS. HE REGRETTED IT ALL, EXCEPT MEETING HER. HE SAW THE BEAUTIFUL EMERALD EYES AND KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE LAST TIME HE SAW EVER SEE THEM AGAIN. SHE LOOKED INTO HIS EYES AND SAW REGRET BUT SHE WOULDN'T LET HIM TAKE IT BACK. SHE DIDNT KNOW WHY IT HURT HER SO MUCH BUT THEN AGAIN SHE KNEW. SHE LOVED HIM BUT SHE DIDNT WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN UNTIL HE WAS OVER LILY WHICH SHE KNEW WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

"IM NOT LILY." SHE SAID THROUGH A SAD SIGH. SHE THEN TURNED AROUND AND WHISPERED THE PASSWORD AND WENT INSIDE LEAVING SNAPE TO HIS THOUGHTS.

HE FINALLY DID IT. HE DID AS HEAD MASTER WISHED. BUT IT HURT LIKE HELL. HE WANTED NOTHING MORE THEN TO APOLOGIZE AND GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE, BUT YE COULDN'T AND THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
"NO. NO YOU ARE NOT."
