I woke up the next morning and looked at my phone.
Sunday. Awesome.
I sat up and yawned, stretching my arms out. I grabbed my towel and went to shower. It was pretty quiet today. It was a nice quiet. Panda hadn't woken up yet and Liz was actually asleep. I made sure to be extra quiet so she could sleep. I went to the bathroom and showered. I sat on the shower floor for most of it, thinking about what I was going to do today. I thought about visiting Snape, then I thought about going to the library, then going outside. Today was going to be a lazy day.

I finished my shower and dried my hair, then threw on some PJs and put my hair up. I had an idea.
I quickly ran out of Ravenclaw tower and went down to Hufflepuff's doors. I knocked until I got an answer from an exhausted looking kid.
"Can you get Rin for me?" I was practically jumping on the spot. They nodded and closed the door. It took a few minutes but Rin finally came out, hair messy and still in PJs.
"What do you want," She whined.
"I have an idea. Go get Tylar and meet me in the library ASAP!" I said excitedly.
"Kay..." She groaned and went back into Hufflepuff quarters. I then ran to the library. Turning a corner, I hit something hard. I could tell it was a person because they fell too and groaned. I sat up quickly, rubbing my head that had hit the floor pretty hard.
"Ugh... Sorry about that..." I stammered, not having opened my eyes yet.
"You need to watch where you are going, Miss Allard." I opened my eyes to see Snape stumble to his feet and brush himself off.
"I. Am so. Sorry." I said, climbing to my feet as I covered my mouth with one hand and held my head with the other.
"You've earned yourself a deten--" He was cut off when he finally looked at me. He grabbed my hand that was holding my head.
"Hey! What are you--" I stopped myself, seeing blood on my hand.
"Damn it, child," He began, pulling me along as he strode down the hall. I, being as short as I am, had to jog by his side in order to keep up with him.
"Wanna maybe slow down?" I asked with hint of aggression in my voice. He looked at me, blood seeping through my hair. I could tell he was holding back an insult.
"I'll carry you then." He said as he stopped and picked me up bridal style and continued to stride seamlessly through the halls and up two sets of stairs. Half way to the hospital wing, I began to feel weak.
"Snape... I don't feel well..." I grumbled. He looked down at me, and for a moment, I saw worry on his face. I lifted my hand and looked at it. I laughed a little. It looked kinda funny, being all white and red. I could feel my limbs relax as the weakness started to become heavier. I felt like a million tons. My vision became blurred and all I could see were fuzzy colors. I felt Snape stop and speak. His voice was muffled, as if he had a scarf covering his mouth. I then heard Madam Pomfrey's voice. I then felt myself being lowered then felt a comfortable feeling underneath me. It was like I was on a cloud or something really soft, like a giant, fluffy cat. I was rolled onto my side, then felt a cold wetness on the side of my head. I heard Pomfrey speak to Snape, then Snape knelt down to my height. I could feel him brushing the loose strands of hair from my face and heard him talking to me.
"Raven, you need to stay awake."
"But I'm tired..." I replied. My voice sounded weird now too. It sounded like I was underwater. I laughed.
"My voice sounds weird," I smiled.
"Keep talking if that will keep you awake." He said.
"Did you know I have a crush on someone?" I said, smiling. Not aware of anything.
"Most children your age do,"
"I'm not a child...!" I stated.
"Yes, you are. Now give me your hands so I can clean them." He said sternly. I smirked and waved my hands around to keep him from getting them.
"Wooooo, you can't get them now, can you? They're everywhere!" I laughed, accidentally hitting him in the face with my bloody hand. I just laughed.
"Oh no! You have Raven juice on your face!" I giggled. He didn't seem amused because he grabbed my hands roughly and started to wipe them clean.
"Owie! Mum! Severus hurt me!" I whined. He groaned as Pomfrey started to stitch my wound shut.
I sighed and looked at Snape, who was starting to come into focus.
"You're pretty..." I said softly, having calmed from my usual, delusional state. He stopped and looked at me. I smiled and continued to dreamily gaze at him. He shook his head as if to get himself to stop looking at me. He finished with my hands and started to clean off is face. He stood and spoke to Pomfrey for a few minutes before pulling up a chair beside me.
I didn't notice, but my hair was out of the messy ponytail I had it in before everything happened and a bandage over the stitched wound. I sighed and closed my eyes.
