=Chapter 7=

"Come, I think you've had enough excitement for the night." Snape said walking off in the distance. I followed as best as I could, seeing that Snape has very long strides. We walked at a brisk pace though the adrenaline wasn't enough to keep me warm. So I stuck my arms into my jacket and tried to conceal my shattering teeth. A few moments later Snape looked back at me and stopped just as I was blowing hot air into my hands.

"Caffery. You know sometimes you don't have to act macho around your teachers." Snape said with a chuckle. Before I could respond, I felt a blanket of heat surround my body. It was a cloak... not any cloak but Snape's Cloak! I was totally mind blown. I instinctively took a whiff of the cloak and shall I say, the smell was very appealing. It smelt like cinnamon, fresh parchment and maybe even a bit of mint. It smelt so good my knees began to shake and before I knew it everything went black...

I tried so hard to open my eyes, but they just wouldn't budge. Plus no matter how hard I tried, my head kept spinning and spinning. What the heck is causing this? The only thing that came to mind was Severus Snape.

That reminds me, I need to wake up this is totally embarrassing! I fainted in front of Snape...

When I came around to it, I felt warmth all around me. Taking a deep breath, I smelt that exact smell once again though it was much stronger. My eyes flickered open and I took in the surroundings. They were unfamiliar. The walls were made out of dark stone. There were bookshelves in nearly every corner of the room. It had a warm homey feeling to it. I rubbed my eyes until I heard the door open. It was Madam Pomfrey.

"Oh dear, how do you feel?" She asked feeling my forhead.

"I'm alright now." I said still feeling a little groggy.

"That's good dear. Severus was quite worried. He was so worried that he asked me to stay until you woke up."

I gasped. "Did he?"

She nodded her head and said "I just think he wanted a fire whiskey partner for the night." She turned away giggling to herself. Before she left the room she turned to me and said "Dear, make sure to get some rest." I nodded my head. "And just make sure you don't break his heart. He has been through a lot." I sat there flabbergasted. "What are you talking about?" I whispered. She turned and shut the door.

Slowly approaching the bed she said "Dear, I may be old but I can see when someone is in love. When you fainted tonight did you feel weak in the knees?" I nodded my head. She took a seat on the side of the bed. "Did you have butterflies in your stomach?"

"Yes."

"That my dear is what you call true love. You both may not know it but you were meant to be. Not many people have this chance so don't take it for granted."

She stood up and walked to the door but before she left she said, " Don't worry dear, I told Severus that you were just in shock. Just know that when the time is right you should tell him before it is too late." And with that she walked out the door.

My jaw dropped. A teacher pretty much told me that it is okay to be in love with another teacher. I think she has lost her marbles or maybe the alcohol got to her.  I mean I know i'm of age,but of all people, Snape.   I put my head in my hands and took a deep breath. This has got to be a dream...

"Caffery. You're up." Snape said standing at the doorway. He looked tense.

I nodded.

"Thank god! I thought my clock had some type of toxic potion on it.  I came to the assumption that it was my body odor, but Madam Pomfrey says that you were just in shock.  Don't worry, I took care of Mr. Malfoy. " He sighed heavily while walking over towards the bed. He took a seat in a chair near by. What he said brought a smile to my face.  The humor that he had behind that cold exterior just shocks me. 

"Caffery you silly girl. Take this and get some rest." Snape ordered and handed me a vial which contained a transparent blue liquid.

"Not until you tell me where I am." Snape's face turned red mostly on the cheeks. It was actually pretty adorable.

"Well I couldn't take you up to the girls dorms well cause it's a girls dorm. So I brought you to my place. I know it must be awkward but I promise once you are feeling better, you can leave." He said embarssed about his actions.

"Snape, shut up. It isn't awkward at all it's more on the cozy side. I like your place. Although, it needs a womens touch." I said jokingly punching him in the arm.

His face turned into a half smirk. "Caffery I think you need some rest. So shut up and drink the damn potion before I have to shove it down your throat."

I laughed. His voice was so demanding yet caring. It sent shivers down my spine. Hell, if this was a dream I sure am enjoying it.

Bottoms up!

I quickly uncorked the vial and chugged down it's contents.

"Good girl, now get some rest." snape said with an amused look on his face.

"Good night, Snape." I murmured before the potion hit me.

It's nice to know that Snape can be a pretty lose person around me.  I just wonder why he opened up to me of all the students. 

I slowly fell in to unconscious but before I knocked out I heard Snape mumble "Good night, Ariana. Sweet Dreams." And with that I was out like a light.
