YOUR POV

You and Severus had been in a relationship for almost 10 months, and you couldn't be happier with somebody like him. The entire school and teachers knew about your relationship with him and were shocked when they first found out, but were supportive nonetheless.

It was a typical day, you were in 4th period - defence against the dark arts, and could feel yourself growing increasing bored. You were so tired and just wanted to be with Severus and go to sleep already, but obviously that wasn't an option at this moment.

Your were faced with Draco Malfoy, the both of you about to have a duel, and you gulped as he smirked devilishly at your cowardice.
Your professor gave you both a starting signal and you raised your wand slowly, making intense eye contact with your opponent
"EXPELIARMUS" Draco shouts, as he directs his wand towards you, you hastily blocking the spell.
Draco seems angered at his failed attempt and nods his head at you, as if saying it was your turn.
You're confused by this, but brush it aside, pointing your wand at him.
"EXPELIAR-"
"SECTUM SEMPRA" you are cut off as Draco's spell flies towards you, not giving you any time to block it as you are taken aback.
You feel yourself being flung across the room, hearing gasps from the many students as you hit the wall and your vision turns black.

SNAPE'S POV

All i wanted was to see Y/N, it was 4th period and i was yet again teaching another dire class of potions. These first years were insufferable and clueless. I'd just about had enough of their loud chatter and failed potion making attempts when the phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. I huffed with annoyance and picked up the muggle phone
"what?" i seethe as i wait for a response, a timid voice replies.
"S-sorry to bother you Severus, but there has
b-been an incident in my DADA class-" the voices wavers.
"And you're telling me this because...?" i drawl on, confused and impatient.
"Well you see Severus it's
Y/N.."
I feel myself become alert, harshly asking "what happened" down the phone.
"It was a duel, Mr Malfoy's anger got the best of him, he used a septum sempra spell against Y/N and flung her into the wall, causing her to loose consciousness."
I feel my blood boil at this, that insolent little boy.
"And where is she now?" i press.
"The hospital ward Sir, Madam Pomfrey is aiding her but she has not yet awoken."

I put the phone down and quickly exit the classroom, feeling all of my students curious eyes on me, hearing them whisper.
I don't care though, i leave the room and speedily make my way to the hospital ward, mentally cursing as i worry about Y/N.

I enter the hospital ward and am met with a faint smile from Madam Pomfrey as my eyes find their way to Y/N's unconscious body.
"Ah, Severus, thought you might come." Madam Pomfrey greets me as i look back at her.
"I-is she gonna be okay?" I stammer.
"She should wake up relatively soon, i've tended to her wounds so for now it's best if she just rests for the next couple days. I'll leave you both alone" she explains to me with a smile, leaving the room as i give her a thankful nod.

I make my way over to Y/N and sit in the chair beside her hospital bed. She had three deep gashes across her cheek and a bruise on her head, but still remained effortlessly beautiful.
I could kill that horrid Malfoy boy if i wanted to.
My hand finds its way to her other cheek as i gently stroke it, kissing her forehead lightly.

YOUR POV

You feel yourself awaken slowly, and look around. I'm in the hospital ward? You think to yourself, but suddenly remember the days events all over again.
You notice a warm hand holding your own, and your eyes find their way to Severus, who is sat in a chair next to you, sleeping lightly. It's dark in the ward so you assume it's nighttime, how long have i been here?
You let go of Severus's hand and reach out, cupping his face as you watch his eyes sleepily open, he looks adorable.
His eyes meet yours and he moves closer to you, seemingly relieved that you've woken.
"Are you okay sweetheart? How are you feeling? Your DADA professor phoned me and told me about what happened-" he stammers, eager to get his words out, worry evident in his tone.

You smile at him warmly and hold his hand, rubbing your thumb against his smooth skin as he relaxes.
"I'm alright Severus, don't worry" you reassure him, "my cheek hurts a lot though" you admit.
He reached his hand out and ever so gently traces the long cuts on your cheek, making the pain go away slightly. You smile at him and he smiles back, leaning over and kissing your forehead.

"Have you been here all night?" you ask him with concern.
"Well...yeah" he sheepishly admits, looking at the floor.
"Come here" you instruct him, moving slightly over in the bed so that there is enough space for him.
He gets into the bed and you pull the covers onto the both of you.
You feel him hold you from behind, an arm snaking round your waist as you hear him whisper in your ear "i love you Y/N, goodnight."
"I love you more" you say tiredly, him giving the back of your neck a soft kiss as you both drift off into an endless sleep.
