You sat in Professor Snape's office, staring at the now bandaged arm as you trailed your fingers over it.
You wondered what it was, why they would do this to you, and who it was. "Stop touching it. You'll hurt yourself." Professor Snape said.
"I won't..." You replied. "I'm going to send an owl to your mother-" You cut him off by getting up and blocking his path, not letting him leave the room.
"No! You cannot. She will send me home straight away!" You said hurriedly.
"You have to head home, Y/n. It is dangerous for you to be here." Severus said. "Whatever that was, it hurt you and wrote that on your arm." He said.
"Please, Professor." You whispered, staring in fear at him. "My mother is already worried enough, the last thing she needs is this-"
"It will be worse if we keep it from her." He cut you off this time. "Please. You are very close to her. Whatever it is that was between you, it will make her forgive you for keeping it a secret." You said.
He stared down at you in silence, his eyes shining with worry and care towards you. He cared for you and you couldn't believe or know why.
"Okay... I won't tell your mother. But!" He said quickly as you were about to celebrate. "I would accompany you to every single class you have every day from now on." He said.
"Understood?"
"Yes, Father." You said jokingly, chuckling a bit while his eyes widened. He stared at you for a bit before sighing and turning around.
You stopped laughing, clearing your throat. "I'm sorry. I meant it as a joke." You said, heading towards him.
"Sometimes Miss Y/L, we shouldn't joke about things like this." He said, turning to face you. "Go, now. To your common room."
You nodded. You took your books and headed for the door, stopping on your tracks and glancing towards him over your shoulder.
"Won't you accompany me, Professor?" You asked.
"No. I'll go check you are in the common room later. Now go." He said quickly, leaning on his desk while he desperately wanted you to leave.
After you left the room, a loud thump echoed from inside. But you didn't dare check what it was about. You turned around and headed to your common room.

"Y/n!!" You heard a male shout, that male being Draco, as you were about to reach the Grand Staircases. "Draco?" You muttered.
He ran quickly to you, panting heavily as his hands went to your shoulders. "Why didn't you come to lunch?" He asked.
You stuttered a few words out, muttering if to tell him or not. "What happened to your arm?" He asked, staring at it in confusion.
"Oh, um... Professor Snape! He caught me down the hallway when I was going to tell Hermione and everyone else I was going to eat with you as I told you I would do." You said.
"But when he saw me, he made me have some extra potions class because I'm failing it." You quickly managed to lie about what happened.
And somehow, Draco believed you. "Huh, I should ask him to help me too." He said, turning around. "I'll see you tomorrow then." He said, a tone of sadness in his voice.
You watched him go, his hands in his pockets and his head hanging low. You didn't want to lie to him but it was better that way.
Him not knowing would keep him out of danger and trouble. "Y/n?" A girl's voice said from the top of the staircase in front of you.
"Hermione." You said with a relieved and happy sigh. She ran to you and hugged you tightly, caressing your back.
"We were so worried. We thought something happened to you." She said when she pulled away, Ron and Harry staying at the top of the staircase.
You smiled at them, looking back at Hermione. "A potion gone wrong. Madam Pomphrey made me stay extra time to make sure I don't faint or something." You lied, again.
"Professor Snape made you do extra hours? But you're one of the best students along with me in that class!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah, well. I guess best students also need extra class." You replied, chuckling softly.
"Girls, we have snacks and chess. Let's go and play the rest of the night before it's too late." Ron said, nudging Harry.
You blushed when Harry grinned at you, heading up the stairs along with Hermione while beginning to talk about something else.
But then, Draco came out from hiding behind a pillar, staring sadly at you. "You and Snape are hiding something. And I'll find out what it is." He whispered.
