Secrets of the Dark | SeverusSnape

Chapter three| Knuckle Sandwich and A Love Potion

             Joan grabbed her oversized black hoodies and wore it atop of her laced black knee length nighties, she brought her wand with her and sneakily went out the bedroom door, then as quietly as possible she walked on to the Slytherin common room. She eyed on the grandfather clock and realized it was still 12:25 midnight.

It was utterly quiet almost deafening to the ears, but one thing she needed for sure at this very moment is some fresh air. She decided for a walk so she went outside the Slytherin dorm. She made her way to the hall with the only light emitting from the tip of her wand, that illuminated her path from the dim lit hall. She constantly surveyed her eyes to every crossovers she would passed as to inspect whether Mr. Filch or anyone might have been patrolling around this time. She seems convinced that no one was around so she made her way to the far end corner leading to the corridors. When she'd reached the corner with corridor paths leading to right and to the left, she halted and she leaned into the wall slowly inspecting her left then to her right. When suddenly she almost leaped herself to death leaving her soul behind as came a deep growling voice from her behind.

Before he could realized it, a small fist came swooshing rapidly like a greased lighting and landed on his left cheekbone.

"Bloody Devil Salazar! Why you imprudent imbecilic fool! " he stepped back a little because of the impact and let out a distressed groan while his left palm had now planted on his left cheek. His nostrils flared like Donkey Kong. Her eyes widened so much it almost seems to pop out from her sockets and her mouth severely opened in shock.

"Professor----ohhh bloody knickers lemme do---that! Are you alright?" she rushed to him immediately and pointed her wand into his injured cheeks while her other hand was cupping the other cheek and out of her impulse ; chanted a soothing spell on the injured cheeks.

"ALRIGHT!? WITCH DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M QUITE ALRIGHT!!!?" He mockingly scowled in dispute. And before he could drifted away from the sensation of the idea of her leaning close into him while she's cupping his face. She pushed her mildly just to put a little distance between them.

"Oh stop that you idiot! I can manage it myself ohhh good merlins have you been eating a lot of spinach lately!" He said while rubbing his cheek.

"SORRY sir! Forgive me I didn't mean to-----" she interrupted feeling terrified of her unintended violent retaliation.

"Assault your professor Ms. Sparrow?! Are you mad?This is a grave offense I say----" he grumbled raising his eyebrow.

"Sir I swear ----I didn't mean to, I was just alarmed by you scheming at me like that." She was hysterical, she don't exactly know what to say. She'd screwed up! She admits she was sneaking and she accidentally PUNCHED his PROFESSOR!

His eyebrows crumpled and his expression baffled. A bit of heat ascending into his head.

"YOU DARE SAY....! Do you usually punch someone when you're startled?!" he crossed his arms and concurrently stomped his foot.

"Of course not sir..." She hissed.

"And so what are you even doing out here sneaking out pass bedtime? Hmmm!?" He growled at her, his impatience anticipating. She swallowed hard. She's dead, she knew it. She put herself into trouble and she can't get away with it! Oh how she wished the earth beneath her would just suddenly swallow her down at this instance.

"Sir.. I....I---I was just----" she was lost for words, her tongue tied into knots.

"Just what Ms.Sparrow!? Just being an unreasonable twit putting yourself into trouble! " he darted at her. She swear her heart seems to twitch inside her like a barbwire was forced around it; hearing him yelled at her because of his anger. She felt her eyes started to water, she breaths in hardly just to prevent herself into a burst of severe emotion.
