Every Rose Has It's Thorn (Snape X Oc)

Year 2, chapter 8. Thick Infiltration

"Yuck, which potion was in this cauldron?" I complain out loud, however, Snape is unmoved by such a fuss. I continue to clean in silence, but it's becoming unbearable.
His detention work has gotten worse, and worse. But I guess that's the point, the work makes you want to behave.

"So, how is your day going Professor?" I'm trying to start a conversation. But as usual Snape's own childish side comes out, by giving me the silent treatment. I continue to scrub as hard as I can to show the effort that I'm putting in. But then another plan plots itself inside my mischievous head.

I pull out my wand, and swish it so all the cauldrons wash themselves, to the point there squeaky clean. I then get off my hands and knees. That's when Snape snatches my wand out of my hands. A sneer seems to be plastered on his face.

"You will be lucky if you ever get your wand back, Miss Potter."
I jump up and down to grab it back, but he is holding the wand so high that my efforts are futile.
I pout then back away from him. Snape's eyebrows furrowed.

I start running towards him.
"Ahhh," I screamed as I jump on top him causing us both to fall to the floor. I look up to see I'm on top of him, a cunning smile appears on my lips as I grab my wand. "Thank you," I said as I put my wand back in my robe.

I'm about to get up when he stops me. "You are in so much trouble."
He said sternly. I however fall back on top of him and begin a laughing fit. I honestly don't know what is happening anymore except all I can feel the urge to just laugh. Though my intuition is telling me that Snape is less than amused, when is he ever happy I thought.

After a minute I finally get off of him, and I hold out my hand to help him up. Seeing he is the most stubborn man in the world he doesn't except. I kind of figured he wouldn't, but I believe in this case, it's the thought that counts. He brushes off his black robes. And I get death glare, which I smile back at him.

"You Miss Potter, are unbelievable, 50 points from Slytherin, for being the most insufferable pain in the neck I've ever known."
I shake my head. "Do you mean the pain in the neck part literally or figuratively?"
"Silence!" He walks closer to me, pulling my shirt.
"You are worse then your brother and father combined."

That's it, he has opened pandora's box now. To say something like that it's almost unforgivable.
"You really do hate me?" Once again this man brings tears to my emerald orbs.
"I...." he couldn't finish the sentence, instead I fear he's gonna say something even worse than the words, I do hate you. Which honestly I don't think it is possible at this point.

"Selfish as ever, Will you ever learn it's not all about you."
I shake my head. "I've been told that all my life, I've been told I'm not as important as my brother, I've been told I should never have lived, I've been told I'm nothing but a nuisance and never should've been born."

The floodgates have now opened in my eyes, he is going to hear all of it.
"Sometimes I have to be selfish to secure my own happiness, so I don't end up a dark void of despair, or worse... become just like Voldemort himself."

He looks at me as if he's a dark void of despair. No emotion shows on his face, I believe he's blocking his feelings so he doesn't feel any pain.
"Everyone forgets, that I too... lost a mother and a father that night." The moment I said that he lets go of my shirt. Then he walks away from me.

I continue with my crying, till I felt a hand wipe away a tear from my cheek.
"You have no more detention, now get out." He said in that extremely soft voice again. It made me feel a bit better.

Then I look up at him, a hint of sorrow can be seen in his dark eyes. A moment of sadness that I know will disappear and his stone-cold orbs will return. So I savor this moment, the one moment we felt something together. Even if it was sadness.

"I said get out, don't you ever listen." He said. I smile and wipe the final tear, from my cheek.
"I do listen I just don't always follow what people tell me to do." What's that I walk away leaving him to contemplate his own thoughts.

I'm walking down the corridor when a very ghastly site appears in front of me. Crab and Goyal standing there looking shocked. "What are you guys doing loitering about." I walk up to them and a curious thing is spotted. Goyal is wearing my brother's glasses. That causes alarm inside me.

I pull out my wand and pointed to Goyal. "What have you done to Harry, where is he?"
They both stare at me like I have three heads.
"Umm I..." If I can't get a straight answer then they're going to pay.
"Flipendo." I cast the Knockback Jinx, flipping Goyal in the air onto his bum.

"I won't ask again what did you do with my brother." Goyal Isn't usually the silent or this invasive. Wait a second. "Harry is that you?" He nods, it must be polyjuice potion that's why the cauldron exploded in Professor Snape's class. They were stealing ingredients from Snape's private stock.

"Merlins Beard, Harry why didn't you tell me in the first place."
I help him up. "Well it would've saved us a lot of trouble."
Crab said. I look at him.
"let me guess, Ron." He nodded. Now my mind has hundreds of other questions I wish it didn't have.

"What in Merlins creation are you guys doing." They both look at each other for a moment and nod.
"Trying to infiltrate the Slytherins, and question Draco about the Chamber Of Secrets."
I roll my eyes, honestly, I don't know whether to be shocked they can pull it off, and/ or mad that they're trying to do something this stupid.

I look over Crabs shoulder, I see Percy Weasley coming down the hall. "Prefect on your 6 o'clock."
The prefect questions why we are down here that's one Draco appeared. "Crab, Goyal what are you doing down here, I've been looking everywhere for you two."

That's when he spots me. "What are you doing here, Pity Potter."
I smile so innocently. "Nice to see you too mouthy Malfoy, how have you been?" He grunts, as we four head to our common room. Honestly I was expecting him to say more.

I decided that I would eavesdrop on the conversation when I got back to the common room.
and I found it very dull that Draco is innocent as he is pathetic. Which I kind of always thought he was. He never had the...how should I put this? Cunning, or boldness to do so. Despite his family being as Slytherin as you can get.

But at least we know for sure that's not Draco, and I certainly don't believe it's my brother. Simply because if that's the case and I'm also the heir. And I know that's not true. I guess my search goes on. I do pray whoever it is they know how to fight. Otherwise it's going to be a bloodbath for all that they've done to this school.
