Hard to Love 2 (Reader x Severus Snape) COMPLETED

Chapter 12

Erin's POV, Christmas Eve.

I was sitting in the window of the room the Weasley's let Hermione and I stay in.

"Tanner." I said under my breath.

I haven't heard or seen him in a few days.. I wish he would've left it alone.

I was waiting for an owl from him or anything.. I saw an owl in the distance, hoping it was Tanners or something from him.

I saw a black owl and my head dropped in my hands, it wasn't his Owl..

It landed in front of me and I fed it treats.

I took the letter, it was for me.

Dear Smith, aka Insolent Child 1.
I have not found your brother, I have been searching the entire break. I'm very sorry.

I hope you're doing okay as well, try not to let it bother you too much. If you need to Owl me, you can. I'll see you whenever you come back from break.

-S.S.

I sighed and a single tear ran down my face.

Andy walked into the room.

"Hey, Mrs. Weasl- what's wrong?" He asked quietly and closed the door.

"Professor Snape has yet to find Tanner. I miss him." I laughed a little and wiped the tear off my face.

"Let's go." He said and hugged me.

We walked down to the kitchen area.

"We are eating Christmas dinner with the Order tomorrow, make everyone feel a little less lonely." Molly said smiling at me.

"Alright." Everyone agreed.

I had to see Snape.. oh no.

Molly came over to me and patted my back, "Nothing from your brother?"

"No, unfortunately." I sighed and smiled through the pain

"Severus will find him eventually." Arthur said

"We can only hope." I sighed and sat down for breakfast.

Snape's POV, Voldemort's lair. (Don't.. judge that plz.)

I went down to the dungeons to see Mr. Smith.

I slipped the both of them some food.

"Thank you, Snape. Do you know how my sister is?" Tanner asked weakly

"I just sent out an owl, saying I can't find you yet, so probably worse than before." I sighed

"Did you call her Insolent Child 1?" He asked laughing weakly

"Yes, Potter is 2nd and you are 3rd." I scoffed.

"You dated my sister. I don't know how she's 1st." He smiled

"We must've talk about that. If he hears you, he'll try to get her too." I said softly but angrily, "Besides, I feel nothing for the child anymore."

"Uh huh, well, she's doing better." He scoffed and looked at the one on the ground.

"That's.. good, I'd heal her, but can't do magic down here."

"I know. I'm letting them take me instead of her, everyday, I endure the pain, more and more." He said sliding against the wall.

"I hope you can last a lot longer, I don't know how long it'll be before you get out of there." I said disappointed.

"I know, I can take it." He said
