Harry Potter Characters X Reader {Completed}

Severus Snape x Reader: Protective

You're muggle-born in this.

Three. You loved the number three. It's a little weird, but you're obsessed with three. Which is why you were always in your trio. Which consisted of Lily, Severus, and you. The three of you definitely weren't the most popular, well except Lily. Sometimes Severus even tried to convince her that him and I were dragging down on her potential of being a very popular girl. Luckily- she never left. 

The three of you were walking out to the lake on a free day. Behind you, four boys were laughing. "Oi! Evans! Why you hanging out with those bloody gits?" A boy named Sirius Black called. He had shoulder length curly black hair and dark eyes with a sparkle that always said he's up to no good. 

You felt Severus tense beside you as you closed your hand in a fist. "Would you stop?!" Lily suddenly rounded on them. "All you do is cower behind each other and make fun of my friends." You could tell it was tearing her up inside, but you were glad she was doing it. But she stopped when her eyes landed on James Potter. Lily liked the attention he gave her. She was starting to like him. A single tear traced her cheek. "I'm sorry." 

Then she ran off towards the Forbidden Forest. James chasing after her. Sirius, Peter, and Remus looked awkward. Sirius backed away, Peter on his tail. "I'm sorry." He made a step towards you, but Severus put a hand on your arm and he walked away. 

"Come on. We're lucky this time." He said, walking with you towards the lake, his hand still on your arm protectively. 

                                                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You fell asleep at the lake, remembering other times with Severus. Like the time you met Lily. 

Severus and you were neighbors, so you and him were walking in a field of flowers, where two seemingly muggle girls were planting flowers. 

You couldn't tell what they were saying, but one girl fled the other, leaving the other crying in the beautiful field. "We should go to her." You told Severus, but he grabbed your arm as you headed to her, "Y/n, she's a muggle, what if she sees our magic." 

But she turned, hearing you. Flinging her dark red hair over her shoulder. "Who are you?" She was not embarrassed by the tear stains on her face, misting over her bright green eyes. 

"I'm Y/n. This is Severus." 

She smiled, "I'm Lily." 

You smiled back at her, "Would you like to be our friend?" You asked. But she got a scared look in her pretty eyes. 

"You don't want to be my friend. Petunia says I'm dangerous." You knit your eyes in confusion, Severus looked at you and you shrugged. 

"Why?" You asked her. 

She held out a hand and focused on it, a moment later, a pretty little daisy grew from her palm. You laughed, "Look Severus! She's just like us!" You said excitedly holding out your hand as a poppy sprouted from it. Severus smiled and produced a red rose from his hand. He placed the rose behind your ear and you giggled. 

Lily smiled, and it was the beginning of a beautiful trio. 

                                                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up sleeping on Severus's shoulder. His head was on yours and you didn't want to wake him. But you shifted a little and he woke up, immediately turning bright red when he saw the position you were in. "I had a lovely dream." You told him. 

He smiled, "Me too. What was yours?" He asked you.

"It was about the day we met Lily." You told him. "How about you?" 

But before he could tell you, Lucius Malfoy came up, "How...adorable. Lovebirds sleeping by the pond. You must be tired for all you do after dark." He says and his goons gave catcalls. "Why don't we give 'em a scare boys?" Malfoy asked. 

Severus jumped up beside you, crossing his arm across you, "Don't you hurt her!" 

Lucius gave a small sarcastic smile, "Once again, how cute. Step away from the mudblood Snape." 

You glared at him and felt Severus tense up beside you, but he didn't move. Lucius sneered and pulled out his wand. Before he could do anything, Severus already had his wand out. "Sectumsempra!" He yelled and Lucius winced as he dropped to the ground, bleeding in several places. 

Then he grabbed your hand and led you towards the forest, running. But you stopped him. "Severus! Stop!" He did and you looking into his dark eyes. "What was that spell?" You asked him. 

"I...I don't know." He said biting his lip. 

You touched his face gently. "You know we have to go back and help him right?" You asked. 

"He was going to hurt you." Severus whispered and you grabbed his hand. 

"I can handle myself. You don't need to be so protective." 

You began walking back to Lucius, but Severus pulled you back and hugged you to his chest. "I don't want you hurt." He said and you buried yourself in his chest.

Maybe two wasn't so bad.
