Demons

Three

Your slept in your wolf form in severus' classroom. You forgot to place a water defective spell on your room and it rained the night before so guess what we sopping wet and we'll ruined. On top of all of that you were to lazy to fix it. "Oi! Wake up if you don't want to be kicked!" Yelled Severus. He was struggling with bikes and bottles. Claws scrapping on stone floor Along with a slight apologetic whine. "Why are you here?" He asked never turning it face you. "I had forgotten a water defective spell to repel water and my room was flooded...I also didn't want to be late for my first class. So what are we teaching them today?" Your shoulder wrapped had come undone but you didn't mind. "Amortentia.." he replied. "And we won't be teaching them. They'll be showing their skills on how to make it." You nodded, walking around his desk to plop down into his desk chair. "I hope you don't mind but I've made myself quite comfortable here."

He turned to you and sighed. "I am going to need my chair, Dog." You raised a brow at him "Dog?" You repeated. "Your a dire wolf are you not?" You gave him a nod. "Well there for you are a dog. At least I'm not calling you the mutt of the school. Umbridge has that pretty down packed. Malfoy even talked to his father about getting you removed because of the Griffin incident." He walked over to the chair, leaning on this. Caging you in. "But I talked him out of it." Severus spoke softly and kisses your forehead. There was a few knocked and the strict man you knew to be mask of the man you knew. He opened the door and students filed in. This was Potter's class, you smiled at him. "Miss. L/n, would you please explain to the class. What. We. Are. Doing. Today." He growled whacking the whispering teens in the back of the class. "Five points from Hufflepuff. I feel greatly disappointed by you two." You said not giving Snape a chance to scold them. "Of course professor Snape. In this class we'll be brewing Amortentia." You said as your eyes were gluded to Draco Malfoy who was whispering to crabb and goyel about you being a Mutt.

"Mister. Malfoy! If you please. Shut your trap." Snape snapped. "Why protect the mutt sir? You share nothing of common interests, no need to have a dog on the grounds." You looked to Severus before to the floor. "One Hundred points from Slytherin and Detention. Miss. L/n if you need your time you may step out." He spoke softly but still Strongly. You nodded and stepped out. Leaning onto the cold surface of the dungeon. The classroom door opened and snap stepped out, closing the door. "I apologise about him. I should have known he would be like this." He mumbled, you clutched his cloak in your hands wrapped tightly. "He's right. I am a mutt." You mumbled. Snap was shocked but he hugged you tightly. "Completely wrong y/n/n (nickname)" you smiled. "Awwe...is Sevy wevy using my nickname?" You cooed, sniffling throughout. "Maybe...y/n don't let him get to you okay?" You nodded and entered the classroom again with out uttering another world.

Severus followed after and guided you to the door behind his desk. "Take a rest I have the class." He said and opened the door. You stepped insides, shifting and falling to the floor in some discomfort, drifting off once severus started to yell.

"I Do Not Tolerate Disrespect in my classroom! Now if anyone of you have something to ask or say about the guardian of our school that is rude or unkind. I suggest you keep your bloody mouths shut." He yelled. He glared daggers at Malfoy. "Now get. To. Work." He plopped himself down onto his desk chair and waited for the class to be over. Waving off anyone who raised their hands. The class ended and in came the next. You slept through most of the day. The pain Killin potion also had this side effect. It could make you drowsy when it was wearing off. Severus knew this all too well so he let you sleep. Dusk fell and Severus entered his office to see a dark Navy form sleeping on the floor. During the day it had gotten colder, winter was settling in. Your form shook softly as Severus' cold hand through your fur. "Wake up y/n. You need another dose of the meds." You grumbled and shifted your form still laying on the ground. He linked his arms under your arms and lifted you up, his warm breath tickling your ears. "H-hey!" You protested as he sat you down. "The Potion, Madam promfy gave you is wearing off. That's why you feel asleep. So your going to need another dose before it completely wears off you in your in the floor in pain." He said grabbing the bottle with a the same thick maroon color salutation in it. He handed it to you and you downed it.

He crouched in front of you to look at the small start shapped holes in your arm. You didn't see the damp cloth he had in his hand. Probably conjured it while you weren't looking. He let it lay on your shoulder. Hoping to sooth the angry red skin around the holes in your arm. Turning to him and you smiled. Noses almost touching as his lips twitch as he holds back a smile. You leant forward pressing your lips to his in a simple peck. "Professor!" Yelled the annoying voice of Malfoy from the classroom. He groaned. "Go. I'll come with you."

He helped you, hugging you slightly. Severus let of and left first. Followed by you you had grabbed the soft wool blanket from his office. It was hidden under some books. Malfoy was busy cleaning out cauldrons among other things as well. Severus sat as his desk. Feet resting atop of the live oak wood. You pulled over a stool and sat on it besides him. He cleaned his neck to look at you, mouthing words to you. You tilted your head in confusion before he sighed and grabbed a clear piece of parchment. 'tomorrow the students are going to hogsmade. Want to go or no?' he wrote it in his elegant cursive writing. The writing only teachers knew. The students knew his bored lazy writing.

There was a few knocks at the classroom door. "Mister. Malfoy if you will get the door." The blonde did as told and shuffled over to the door. Dumbledore and Umbridge stood there. "Ah! Severus, y/n my dear." Dumbledore said. They entered and closed the door. "Umbridge was looking for you y/n, said she looked everywhere." Albus put his hands behind his back, while Umbridge gave you a fake smiled. "Hm...what is you need?" You asked calmly, faking a cold demeanor. Albus and Severus knew you didn't like her by the way you defended professor Trelawney. "Oh, I was coming to ask you a couple questions. Seems the only place I didn't look was here. So I invited Albus to join me, dearie." You scoffed at her. "Alright. Let's get down to business then."

"What is your main job in Hogwarts?" You looked at her. "I am a guardian, Protecting the school from on coming threats such as the dark lord. I am an assistant to many teachers here Such as Severus." You glanced over at Severus and he nodded his head. "Are you in any relationship with any of the staff?" You and Severus both stiffened even if you weren't in a relationship with him, you both cared deeply for each other. "I am not in relations with anyone. I have my friends and co-workers, then I have those that I love, like my dear adoptive father Albus Dumbledore and my childhood friend Severus Snape." Albus smiled proudly and glanced at severus with a knowing look. Umbridge shifted from foot to foot, while writing. She asked you multiple questions about your work in the ministry, then she got personal. Asking you about your parents, your real ones, about what kind of child you were about your relationships behind closed doors, mostly about you and Severus. Which you avoided because neither of you knew what you were. Malfoy was told to leave when she asked a really personal question. If you were a werewolf. Which you aren't.

She finally left when Albus said it's dinner time. But you and Severus stayed put. "Well..that was um.. awkward." You gulped and looked to the floor. You knew you loved Severus. That's why you befriended him in the first place. He was the one person the could talk you in and out of anything, the only boy to ever come to your house for Christmas. Severus sighed and opened a desk drawer, pulling out a Hufflepuff colored tie, your name embroidered on the back of it in Slytherin green. "Remember this? You gave it to me to tie my hair up when it was long." You smiled. "I don't think it will do you any good. Your hair needs a wash, love." He seemed offended. "I'm kidding! Here, let's see."

You took the tie, flipping it over so your name would he showing and you tied it around his hair, making it look like some funky low pony tail he used to wear over the summer. "There!" You smiled. He nodded. "Let's to to dinner." He stood pulling the tie from his hair and tied it around his forearm, taking off his cloak. "So I did all that work for you take it off?" You scoffed. "You did all me love, yes I heard you and I don't want people to think up any more rumors about me." He grabbed your hand, lacing your fingers together as you left the classroom. You both were late to dinner you trotted in on paws while severus strode in, his cloak was in his classroom  so his got some confused looks from the students as the yellow and black tire was clearly on display.  You noticed the open chair next to Severus' and glanced at Albus who gave you a soft smiled. The man in Black pulled your chair out so you could hop up into it, which you did. Sitting down proudly. Severus clutched his arm in his hand and looked to Albus who looked towards the back door that lead to another room.

You watched as he left your head tilted in confusion. But before you knew it Umbridge took his seat. "I don't think it is proper for you to be dressed as that during dinner." She said. You snarled at her and jumped down. Tail up into the air as your body shifted. "I don't think it's proper for you to take someones seat when you have your own." You shot back. She looked offended as you turned and left to your room to clean it. No one stopped you as they saw you weren't in the mood. ,,
