As Liliana opened her eyes in the morning, she was surprised to see that Snape hadn't left her side. He was still sat on a chair beside the bed, his head next to her body.
"Severus...?" She prodded, waking him up. He looked at her and reached for her hand straight away, "Good morning beautiful." He purred with a small smile.
"Is it real? Or did I dream it? Please tell me it was all a dream..." she pleaded, the agony setting in cruelty.
Snape dropped his head and sighed, before returning his gaze to hers, "You didn't dream it my love, I'm so sorry for what I did.. and please believe me, your parents raised you, and they love you. That will never change!"
"I.... erm... does Harry know?" Liliana asked seriously, feeling weird about the fact she had liked him. "No, and for now it must stay that way. Until Albus says otherwise anyway."
"Do my parents know?"
"Of course they bloody do! I think your mother would have noticed going through labour!" Snape huffed, his impatient manner creeping through.
"I'm sorry.. I know.. I'm just confused. I can't take this in Severus." Lil sobbed. "It's ok, I'm sorry i snapped at you." He soothed, wrapping his arms around her.
"I... I need to go, I'm going to be late for class." She stated simply, getting to her feet.
"Liliana, you don't have to go to class today. Take some time to take it all in."
"I can't, I need some distraction."
"Alright, if you're sure. However if you have the slightest stumble please excuse yourself and get some rest. Promise me?" Snape insisted as she headed towards his bedroom door.
"I promise that I will not push myself too hard Severus, but right now I just can't get the image of you sleeping with another witch out of my mind... I need to go."
He watched her leave, not moving from the chair beside his bed.
"I will never forgive myself for what I've done, even if you ever do." Snape mumbled from behind the hands he had placed over his face.

"Lil! are you alright?! why didn't you come back last night? We were worried sick! Harry nearly formed a search party." Hermione gasped as Liliana entered the Gryffindor common room.
"I had to stay somewhere else, I was upset and I needed to be alone. It's ok, Dumbledore knows." She lied, the headmaster knew nothing about her sleeping in Snape's quarters.
Although, it wouldn't have surprised Liliana if the old man didn't mind.
"Oh, gods! Why were you upset? was it Snape again? I swear on Ron's Ginger ballsack if he has has..."
"Hermione, i don't really want to talk about it. It's all still a bit raw, Let's just say he didn't wait around before jumping into bed with some other witch." Liliana sighed, leaving out the other reason she was upset.
"That greasy swine! I hope that you told him exactly where to go?" Hermione shrieked, hugging her friend. "No, how could I? we were on a break." lil shrugged.
"Ok, that maybe true but you cannot say that it doesn't hurt? I know you love him Lil! either way, break or no break he moved on bloody fast." Hermione sneered, beginning to really hate the dungeon bat.
"He told me it was a mistake, and I honestly believe him... that doesn't mean that things are ok between us."
Hermione nodded, it was Liliana's choice after all, all she knew was that if it was her she would never speak to him again.
At that moment though, there was only one thing she could do for Lil and that was to be there for her, no matter what.
