"My Black Thorned Rose"

Chapter 6: Severus' POV

Severus' POV

After Ms. l/n left my office, I sat down and tried to think what to do. 'I might tell Dumbledore about what happned'. After that, I went to Albus' office. My leg really hurts. Damn you Quirrell! I recited the password "Sherbert Lemon". As I arrived by the door, I knocked. "Come in", says Albus. "Ahh, Severus. What brings you here late at night?". I told him "Headmaster, there is something you need to know about Ms. l/n." Albus stood up and said "What about her?". I went closer to Albus and said "She knows the Cruciatus Curse..." Albus stood there, frozen and went back to his chair and sat down.

He asked me "Why would you say that Ms. l/n knows about the curse Severus?" I sat down and told him "Earlier this evening, the troll incident, those little brats were in trouble". Then Albus said "Go on...". I continued "The three of them fought the troll by throwing some wood pieces. But Ms l/n did something different". Albus leaned foward, "She casts the Cruciatus Spell on the troll". Albus' reaction was shock and was silent for a moment. I continued "After they knocked out the troll, I went to my office with Ms. l/n. We had a little talk there". Albus looked at me and said "What did you two talk about?". I told him everything "I asked her what spells does she know. She told me, The Basic, Intermediate, Medium, Vipera Evanesca, Imperio, Crucio and...". He leaned even more forward and asked "And?...". I told him "Avada Kedavra...". Albus looked speechless and told me "I knew she is a talented first year student, she may be a use for the Dark Lord". I widened my eyes and slammed my hands on his desks "NO!". Albus looked at me, shockingly and said "Are you concerned for her Severus?". I realized what I had done and leaned back on the chair and told him "No Albus, it's too dangerous for a first year student. She might not handle it".

Albus nodded and told me "For now, let her rest and maybe after 3 years, she might be ready". I looked at him angrly "Why must you add a student in this dangerous mission? You're using her as his puppet". Albus sighed and told me "It's getting late Severus. You should go to bed. We'll talk about this some other time". I got up angrily and slammed the door and went back to my chamber. I took off my clothes and wore my casual clothes and went to bed.
