Pearl P.O.V
A month had passed since Sirius and I started dating. Things had been going brilliantly until it happened.
It was a Saturday. I heard Sirius and the others all laughing and they were surrounded by a crowd who were also laughing. I went over, what I saw was the biggest shock of my life. They were beating up another boy. He had longish black hair and quite a large nose, it was Severus Snape. He's really good at Potions. Severus was crying, he didn't like it.
"What are you doing?" I snapped breaking the crowd to get through.
"It's just Snivelus," replied Sirius.
"You're being horrible to him!" I yelled as I went to Severus and helped him from the floor. "You're being a load of horrid beasts!"
"What you mean you care about him?" laughed James.
"I care about some who's a victim, James Potter!" I barked in his face. I turned to Severus. "Come on, Sev. I'll help you."
We walked off, not looking back. I cleaned the large black eye they had given him and put his arm in a sling. My mother had taught me well. I sat him down.
"How long has this been going on?" I asked.
He had been quiet for all of the time I was with him, he looked like he had never even heard the word: 'Love'. His head remained down, staring at his scuffed shoes, his eyes still dripping with salty tears.
"Hey," I smiled, softly pulling up his head by the chin. I suddenly noticed his eyes were a lovely shade of brown. "Don't let those loosers get you down. They're all jealous because you're so smart."
His lips pulled at the ends slightly, forming a sort of grin, but his cheeks were still wet with tears.
"Thank you," he said. "Thank you for being so nice to me. You're Lily's roommate, aren't you?"
"Yes," I nodded, happy to hear him talking. "She's kind isn't she?"
"She is," he smiled. "She talks often of you, Pearl."
"Does she?" I laughed. "All good things I hope."
"Oh yes, nothing but," answered Severus. "You used to go to Beauxbatons but you got expelled, didn't you?"
"That's right," I nodded.
Then, Lily came in.
"Severus!" she beamed running over to him and hugging him tightly. "I was looking for you. James was picking on you again, wasn't he? Oh just look at your black eye! You really should tell the teachers. What happened to your arm? Oh Severus!"
Severus looked at her as if he was looking at the very definition of beauty. He likes her, anyone could see that.
I do feel sorry for him. How could they do such a thing? Sirius and I haven't been talking since this happened.
