severus snape one shots

-t w o-

"Bloody hell" I whispered to myself as I ran down the stairs while throwing my robe on, almost tripping at the bottom. 

I over slept which caused me to miss our dance practice for the yule ball. I ran all the way to Snapes room. When I got there I stopped in front of the door, fixed my hair, caught my breathe and pushed it open. The room was barely lit. There was a bunch of different cabinet filled with ingredients for potions, a few plants here and there and tables set up all around the room for students to work. I see Snape sitting at his desk using his quill. I assumed he was grading papers. I just wanted to walk out so I didnt bugged him. I took a step back ready to leave but i decided to stay and slowly walked over to him. I stopped about ten feet away from his desk to scared to get any closer.

"Um professor." I say just above a whisper. 

He doesn't look of from his paper. He doesn't even stop writing at first. He finished what he was writing then he sighed loudly and put the quill down kind of aggressively. 

"What is it." He says in a monotone voice as he whips his head towards me.

"I missed the dance practice sir. Im sorry" I responded a bit louder gaining a small bit of confident. 

"You better have a good reason why you missed the practice miss" 

I explained to him how I over slept because I had stayed up late doing homework that Mcgonagall gave us. He looked at me with a blank face but you could see the frustration in his eyes. He leaded back in his chair and sigh loudly. I felt bad. Now I was wasting his time and he was clearly upset. 

"You should be responsible and get your work done in a timely manner but I guess I will have to teach you the steps now" He said slowly getting up outta his seat.

My jaw drops "What?" 

"If you would open your ears, I said I'll teach you the steps" He says walking to the middle of the room which was a open space. Big enough to dance. 

Dance with Snape? No way.  I deeply regretted over sleeping but its not like I had planned too. 

"Well..." He said, signaling me to come over by him.

I slowly walked over to him and stared up into his eyes. They were dark and chocolaty, easy to get lost in. He was a lot taller than me. He was around 6 foot and im only 5'2 so I really had to look up at him which made him look even more intimidating. He looks down and reaches his hand out for me to grab. I grab it and he wraps his fingers around mine. His hands ever so cold to touch, freezing really, but it made sense. The room was pretty cold like usual. 

He walks me out a little bit and then he grabs my waist gently. My heart rate picked up. My palms sweaty. I tried to calm myself down but my breathing just became heavier. 

"Now just follow my lead, okay?" He said while taking position. 

I just nod at him. He moves his foot to the right and I do the same. Then his left foot back and I move mine forwards. We went slow at first. I had never danced like this before so I had no idea what i was doing. 

It started to hit me that I was actually dancing with Snape and lost focus and stepped on his foot. 

"Ow" he said.

"Oh my god im so sorry." I apologized 

We had been dancing for what seemed like forever. I finally calmed down and my breathing went back to normal. We would just stare into each others eyes, breaking it occasionally. I noticed as we kept dancing his grip around my waist got tighter and he would get closer. 

Snape always made me nervous. He was so cold and mean to most people. I always thought I'd taken interest in him before but I never realized how much I did until now. Dancing with him, staring into his eyes, his hand in mine. It all made me have butterflies in my stomach. I felt safe with him at the moment. 

"Ready" he says snapping me outta my thoughts

"Huh" He lets go of my waist, still holding onto my hand bringing it above my head. I look up at him kinda confused.

"Spin" He says smiling. 

I smile back at him then I spin. I giggle and he pulls me back in, letting go of my hand and puts both of his hands around my waist and lifts me up spinning both of us around in a circle. I laugh and he smiles. Carefully setting me down I could see he was blushing. I think its safe to assume he was having fun. He was surprisingly a really good dancer. He stops and leads closer to me. I start to panic. What was he doing. Is he going to kiss me? I took a small step back becoming scared of what he was going to do.

"Stay still. I wont hurt you" he said quietly, leaning in closer. 

He gets closer and closer to my face and I start sweating again. My heart felt as if it was beating outta my chest. With his eyes closed he finally reaches my face and puts his lips against my forehead. I close my eyes and just stood there not even knowing what to think. This is some thing I definitely didnt think was going to happen. All I could think was holy shit that just happened.

"I-Im sorry. I didnt mean to-" He pulls away and takes a step back.  

He was obviously embarrassed. He was looking down at his feet rubbed the back of his neck.

"I think you got it you, can go now." He said stepping away from me. 

I couldn't move all I could say was "Its okay. I didn't mind" I say looking up at him. 

He looks up at me and we made eye contact again but this time is eyes were glassy and warm. I take a step closer to show him that I really wasn't upset about what had happened. The way his lips felt against my skin. It was warm and soft. I thought about the way it would feel on my lips and I wished he would just kiss me.

He looks at me shocked and then walks over to me and leans in, closes his eyes and kisses my lips. His kiss was so soft and gently almost as if he thought it would hurt me. I was trying so hard to be present so that I could remember this moment. 

He pulls away and I look down at my feet to hid my red cheeks. I really didn't know what to do or say. I never thought this would happen to me. 

I looked up and him and I could see he was blushing a bit and I giggled. 

"What?" he said 

"You're blushing" I said

"I-So are you" He said pointing at me and laughing. He was obviously embarrassed but he stopped laughing and slowly went back to serious Snape.

"Well I have a class soon and I need to prepare." He said breaking the odd tension in the air. 

"Yeah I should get going. I have class soon too" I said. 

I was a bit upset that I had to go but I had defense against the dark arts with Lupin and I heard we're learning about boggats so I was kinda excited. Lucky I still had positions later in the day so i'd be back. I smiled at Severus and was ready to go. 

"I wish I could stay here with him." I thought to myself as I walked to the door.

"I wish you could stay too." He said which made me question if I had said that out loud but then I remembered someone telling me he was very skilled in legilimency. Which is probably why he kissed me the second time because he knew I wanted it. 

I just laughed it off and walked out the door, closing it behind me and went to Lupins class.
