Falling Hopelessly

Chapter 7

Snape's POV

I kept my gaze forward as I walked through the corridors with the Potter boy in my grasp, 'Why am I always getting involved in this boy's mess?'
I glance down at him and a slight blush gathers on my face, "When the hell did Potter get so handsome?" I thought.
I pick up my pace as I get closer to the doors and burst through scaring Pompfrey.
"Sorry Pompfrey, its Potter."
She took one look at the boy and rushed over to a bed.
"Set him down Professor."
I rush over and gently set the young man down, 'Young man... To think that he's almost 19..'
I was pulling away and as I let go he grabbed on to me and I felt my cheeks start to burn. 'Dammit Potter.'
I let go and backed away from the bed a bit and explained what happened.
(5 minutes later)
Pompfery examined the boy and said he didn't suffer any serious injuries and he collapsed from exhaustion.
I thanked her and made my way to Dumbledore's and told him what Pompfrey had said.
~No ones POV~
Snape waited for Albus to say something but when he finally spoke he had mixed feelings about what he said.
"WHAT?!"
Albus sat there with that devious twinkle in his eye, "You heard me Severus, the boy would be much safer there and it could help you two become friendly towards each other."
Snape was conflicted, 'Yes, it'd be grand to have Potter to myself almost all of the time but what would everyone else think'
Despite what was just thinking about his mouth blurted out a rather loud "Ok".

Snape left the Headmaster's office and made his way back to the infirmary to check on Harry.
When he got there he was thankful to see Harry sitting upright in his bed looking better.
Yeah, he had bandages everywhere but other than that he was fine.
"Mr.Potter, if you're feeling better come with me."
Pompfrey of course said something about that, "Severus the boy needs rest. Whatever you have to say can wait!"
Snape turned to look at her and then at Harry, "The boy seems fine, its rather important."
Harry spoke up and confirmed that he feels better.
Pompfrey finally gave in and let him go.

They hurried towards Albus chambers, Snape only letting Harry in because he lost the nerve to tell him.
After a few minutes Snape heard muffled yelling and soon enough Harry come out rather flustered.
"When do I have to get my stuff together. And what the hell am I supposed to tell Ron amd 'Mione?!"
Snape pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
"You can do so either tonight or tomorrow morning. Tell them when you're ready."
Harry just sighed, "I'll do it tonight... I have a few hours so I guess i'll just tell them now.. See you in a bit professor."
Snape let him know that he'd be in his office when he was ready.
(In Gryffindors commons)
Harry had just come through the door and immeadiately looked for the duo.
He seen them by the fireplace and made his way over and told them that they needed to go to the Room of Requirement.

They had been seated in the RoR in scilence for a few minutes now before Harry said anything.
"I don't know how i'm supposed to explain this but.... I pretty much have to move in with Snape.."
They sat staring at them for a minute and then Hermione started fangirling.
"Oh Harry! This is great! You two could get closer and see where the relationship goes and oh dear Merlin, this is wonderful!" Ron and Harry stared at her before laughing and Ron semi-congratulated him.
"Thanks guys... I truly can't understand how I got lucky with you two.

(A/N: I know that I put him as almost 19 and thats not right but just for the story.)
