Cursed (SnapeXreader)

The Unbreakable Vow

Uploaded: 14/1/19

Entering the library you're greeted by Madame Irma Pince. You submerge yourself into the narrow rows of bookshelves, browsing the same old books that have been there since before you were born. The library was almost always empty, mainly to do with the fact that no one really liked Madame Pince. She was named as the most unhelpful librarian to ever work at Hogwarts, this was due to her possessive nature when it came to books. She would protect the books with her life, threatening severe consequences to anyone who would rip, tear shred, bend, fold, deface, disfigure, smear, smudge, throw, drop, or in any other manner; damage, mistreat, or show lack of respect towards any of the books in her 'precious' library. However, Madame Pince and you had a trusting relationship, not once have you ever mistreated any book you have ever borrowed or used from the library. You respected books almost more than you did people, alike her. Another similarity you both had in common was your unpopularity, you considered Madame Pince close to being your 'friend', she would always help you with your research. She trusted you...and that was hard to gain.

As you skimmed through the bookshelves, you make your way towards the back of the library. The restricted section was right in front of you, curiosity lingering in your mind.

(y/n) {I bet there's some really interesting and rare potion books in there...If only I could just-}

"Good afternoon Miss White, can I help you with anything today?" Madame Pince asked you, her thin frame reaching up and delicately placing a book into the gap in the shelf.

"Oh no- I was just...Actually...yes. I was wondering if you could tell me if there is any potion books in the restricted section." You say, timidly.

"Oh of course there are dear but...as you know I can't let you go in there unless-"

"I have a signed note from one of the Professors, I know." You cut her off.

"You know, I would let you in...but I just can't. It's against the rules." She says apologetically.

"It's ok Madame, I wouldn't ask that of you anyway. I'll just have to get a note somehow..."

"But (y/n) just so you know...I will know if it has been forged so don't even bother trying that." She says sternly giving you a playful smirk, suddenly she notices Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter sniggering in one of the aisles and she goes over to inspect their intentions.

(y/n) {I'm gunna go before she starts-}

"YOU TWO, OUT. GET OUT OF MY LIBRARY YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THESE BOOKS YOU-!"

You close the door to the library, rolling your eyes. You liked Madame Pince, but Merlin could she shout! It was almost loud enough to make your ears bleed. As you start to walk away from the library the door opens again, as you turn around you see Ron and Harry being thrown out by their collars. They were no longer in hysterics and actually looked pretty terrified.

"FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" you hear Madame Pince scream as she slams the door behind them.

(y/n) {Great....thanks guys!} You thought as you ignored them and began to walk off again.

You pulled your pocket watch out of your robe pocket.

{8:00pm}

You head up to your Dormitory, collecting your books and your Cauldron. You feed Felix, letting him out of his cage, you leave the window ajar so he can come and go as he pleases throughout your tutoring session.

"Wish me luck Felix." You sigh, gently stroking his soft black feathers.

You watch him as he hops out of the window, then swooping into the evening sky, the moon shining bright as he spreads his wings and soars through the cool air.
