Always Book 2 (Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter 11: Harry's Truth

Harry's POV:

I was in the common room after another night of detention with Umbridge. I was alone as Rhiannon was excused from the rest of her detentions.

"Harry! I tried out for Quidditch Keeper at the tryouts! I'm on the team." Ron shouted a little to excited. Everything stops as everyone takes the sight of me in. I was pale and gaunt, barely standing, with one hand clutching my scar and the other limply at my side, covered in blood.

"Harry- Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed. My knee's gave out, and I fall to the floor. Fred, George, Hermione and Ron lift me up.

"He's gotten to be taken to the Hospital Wing." Hermione stated.

"No. Can't give......Umbridge the satisfaction...." I said weakly.

"Umbridge did this?" Fred questioned.

"You said she was making you do lines!" Ron exclaimed, "So that is why Rhiannon lost so much blood?" I nodded weakly.

"What do you mean Rhiannon lost blood?" George asked.

"She had detention too, with Umbridge." Hermione answered. I noticed George ball his fists, but let calmed down a moment later.

"Oh Harry you have to go to Dumbledore. You can't keep this up." Hermione said, with a concerned expression.

"No, I'm telling anyone." I stated, "It's bad enough Snape knows and you guys know."

"Harry, I really think you should tell-" Hermione started, but I cut her off.

"No!" I snapped, as I slowly climb to my feet. "I don't need his help. I don't need anyone's help."

"What about Rhiannon? She needs your help. If you let this go on she-" Hermione started again.

"She has her Head of House, Malfoy, Parkinson, and Merlin know's who else. She dont need me." I explained, "She hates me as it is."

"Why would she hate you?" Ron asked sitting down.

"I-I......" I stutter, "Can we just not talk about it."

"We're going to talk about it!" Ron exclaimed.

"You love her?" Hermione whispered.

"Of course I love her, she is one of the only family I have left." I explained.

"No not like that! I mean love love her." Hermione explained.

"Your talking rubish, he dont love love her that would be just weird!" Ron laughed, but I looked down at my hands not daring to look at any of them.

"Bloody hell!" Fred exclaimed. I stand up and push past them, limping up to the boys' dorm.

"He is so in love with her!" I heard George whisper as I close the door to the dorm I share with Ron.

~Next Day(Rhiannon's POV)~

I sit at the Slytherin table, bent over parchment, my quill scratching away. I look up finished. Draco and Blaise join me.

"Zabini, my boy." I smiled.

"Black, my girl." Blaise teased, sitting down next to me.

"See he gets it." I said, kicking Draco in the chin. I look up at the head table and notice that Hagrid's seat is still empty. I hope he is alright. Maybe I will write to my dad. However it will have to be in code since Owls are being intercepted. I pulled out another piece of parchment. I started to scratch away with my quill. I had to tell someone about Umbitch and Harry. He told me that his scar, the one on his forehead, would hurt everytime she touch his scar on his hand. I thought it odd.
