"My Black Thorned Rose"

Chapter 16: "WAND"

Y/n POV

We walked back inside together and went to his chamber. When I went inside, it was so clean and filled with black furniture.

There was a fireplace and on top of it is a landscape of a herd of doe, the floor is made out of dark wood and it's shiny, a huge and long couch yet there was still another room, I think it's his bedroom.

"Wow professor, your chamber is quite nice. I love the black furniture". I said while still looking around the room.

"Do you like it?" I looked at him "It's not that big like Albus or Minerva but it feels comfortable" said Prof. Snape while smiling.

I walked towards him and touched his chest "Yes I do... You should smile more, you look handsome when you smile".

"Do you like my outfit? Dumbledore gave it to me some time ago. I decided to wear it specially today. I wanted to surprise you". said Prof. Snape.

I kissed his cheek "I do love it. I'm surprised that you still look good even it's not the color black" I said in delight.

"I also love your feather robe and your pajamas." said Prof. Snape while blushing.

He kissed my forehead "Come, I'll show you my bedroom". He showed me the way and I followed.

Inside, it was a very simple bedroom. The bed was king size, a clock hanging on the wall, there was a wardrobe at the corner of the room, two bed side tables with a lamp, a door (I guess it's the bathroom), a chair and there's even a shelf filled with lots of books!

I went straight to the books "You have a lot of books! This is actually quite exciting!" I said while touching the books.

"I knew that you'll love that part" said Prof. Snape.

I looked at him "We should discuss... about our relationship".

We both sat down on the bed. "I think that our relationship should stay a secret. Prof. Dumbledore and my friends can only be the ones who knows".

"Should I still act cold towards you? I can't act cold, you're too... I can't".

I smiled and placed my hand on his left cheek "Oh my dear professor, you have to. Students might think there's something between us. At least when you encounter me and my friends, you can let your guard down".

"Please don't call me professor, call me Snape or Severus or a made up nickname from you. It's uncomfortable calling me professor".

I smiled "Okay... Severus. I'll think of a nickname for you".

I looked at his left arm and touched it "Does the mark hurt you? Does Voldemort call you often?" I asked worriedly.

"I have almost forgotten, you have this kind of... power of knowledge. The Dark Lord dosen't really call me".

I kissed his arm "You should probably take a nap, we still have an encounter in potions. I'll wake you up". I said tiredly.

"How can I sleep when you're here? I can't sleep now" said Severus.

"You need to rest Severus... please? For me?" I said with puppy eyes.

He sighed "Alright... but stay with me". I smiled and nodded.

He sat down on the chair and he gestured me to sit on him. I rested my head upon his shoulder. It was so quiet and it felt awkward.

After minutes, I felt something poking me... below.
