His Half Blood Princess 2

What A Girl Can See

>SCARLET'S P.O.V.<
"Scarlet, darling, you need to get up!" a voice mumbled. It tried to shake me awake...

"Severus... Severus, I'm not letting you go out after h-!"
"Yes, I will! If he wants you, they'll have to go through me first. It is my job to protect you!"
"And it's my job to protect you too!"
"No. You're staying here, and that's it!"

"Severus... Severus... Let me out! Please! Severus- you can't-! Severus, please!"

I felt myself whimpering and quickly pulled the covers over my head. W-Was that a nightmare...? I can't remember anything anymore... Dammit with the dreams you can't remember in the morning.

"Don't make me pull you myself." the voice now threatened, and watched as I stuck my tongue while I took the covers off. "Just five more minutes in bed, please...." I whispered sleepily. I felt a smirk rather mischievously. "Oh, I'll give you five minutes in bed, alright!" Wow that morning voice. Sev held both of my hands above my head and leaned towards me. My eyes quickly fluttered open. The man looked at me, with an inch before our faces would collide, grip tightening, but I managed to turn my head to the side causing him to back away. "I'll get up, Mr. Beast."

"Oh, so you're calling me that from now on?" He said amusingly. I jumped off the bed very quickly, then walked to my closet. "Good morning," I told him. He didn't expect me to greet him, and smiled. "Good morning, darling. Now tell me: What made you rise up before I can even throw you off the bed?" he asked curiously. I gave a sheepish smile that he found secretive. "Scarlet, it's the first day of school. What was it?"

"Actually... I didn't sleep well last night. Then," I admitted while I sat back down on the bed absentmindedly. "I'm having these weird... bad dreams I've been seeing the same thing for weeks. No need to worry though... in fact, you should forget about it." 

"And you did not tell me this?" he asked. I nodded. "Scarlet, it's not really good to hide something from me. You don't know what might happen to you that I don't completely understand why."

"I... I'm sorry" I managed to say. "Don't say that. It isn't your fault" he replied, then pulled me towards him. "You better take a shower now. I believe breakfast ends in an hour."

"You can go ahead if you want" I said, opening the bathroom the door. "I'll wait. Even if you'll take forever. Always."

"Not the right time to use always, but that's very sweet. I'll shower real quick then."

"You won't mind me joining you?"

"Why, you little naughty beast!"

We both walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. The usual aroma of fresh bacon & eggs filled the air that made me hungry as ever. As we both entered the room, I scanned the tables to find everybody eating hungrily for the first day of school. It felt like home again, honestly. Not like before, when me and Sev had go separate ways. Now... I sit beside him, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I sat on my chair and ate my food peacefully, when my head snapped up.

There was a small ball of white light in front of me.

What?

It was whisping -or whatever- and seemed to be saying something I couldn't understand. I stared at it confusingly, before it zoomed right from my spot to the middle of the hall. I must've alarmed Sev and he nudged my elbow with concern. "Scarlet?"
