Professor ║Severus Snape x Reader║

║ 7TH YEAR ║

"Rise and shine, my little owl!"

I grabbed for a pillow nearby, covering my face. My parents have been waiting for this moment since the day I was born, since it was tradition for the L/n's to go and graduate from Hogwarts.

The door opened, letting the light from the living room flood in. I let out a grunt as the light shone through, beaming through the pillow.

"Y/n, get up! You don't want to miss your last breakfast here as a student, do you?" She took the pillow and threw it onto my desk chair. I rolled over to face the wall that my bed was pushed against.

"Just... 10 more minutes... Please..." My raspy voice muttered. I could sense my mother doing her world-famous eye roll as I said that.

"No, you need to get up now! It's 10:13!" She notified, opening the blinds in my room.

My eyes shot open.

I jumped out of bed.

"10:13? It's 10:13!" I rushed to my wardrobe, filing through the clothes. I was surprised to only see a few shirts and one pair of pants left. Mother let out a light laugh.

"Don't worry, I packed everything for you last night." She exclaimed.

I suddenly relaxed, dropping my arms down to my sides. I slowly turned around to face mother.

"Now, change out of your pajamas and hurry up!" I nodded as she said so, corralling her out of my room.

I looked around, putting my hands on my head in frustration. Gods, why does dressing up have to be so hard? Especially on the first day of school?

*×*

I ended up wearing a red jacket with a white shirt underneath, jeans and converse. I didn't want to dress up too fancy since I'll be on the train for a while.

A knock came from my bedroom door.

"Come in!" I shouted, scanning my room for anything else that I must've forgotten to ask my mother to pack.

"Let's go, your father needs to go to work soon and he can't do that if we don't go right now!" She called back. I sighed, grabbing a book off of my desk.

I went over to the door, opening it. I was greeted with my mother cleaning up the breakfast she had laid out, humming to herself. The house was filled with a burnt toast-coffee smell.
I felt bad that she had to clean up everything, especially when no one ate anything yet.

"Mo-"

"There you are! Come on, grab your case, let's go! Father's in the car!" She quickly rushed me out, leaving half of the food out on the table.

I was shoved into the backseat of the car, my suitcase thrown in behind me.

"Wow, thanks for that." I groaned, rubbing my arm that was attacked by the case.

"Good to see you're finally up, Y/n." Father said. I gave him a small smile.

"Alright, let's go! We don't have all day!"

The car suddenly started floating up, startling me a bit. I quickly put on my seatbelt and held onto the handle above the window, shutting my eyes.

The car always scared me.

Hey, even a Gryffindor gets scared sometimes.
