Izzy was minutes away from leaving for her detention with Snape. She was excited but she didn't know the horror ahead of her. When she realised she needed to leave she stood up and hurried out saying bye to Fred on the way. Professor Snape was already there waiting. "Miss y/l/n, I need you to go to your dorm and get something warm on you have 10 minutes go." His voice was raspy like he had been screaming a lot. She smiled and nodded and skipped to her common room. She wrapped up warm and only took 5 minutes she walked happily back to Snape's office and knocked on his door. "Yes? Come in." She heard a voice on the other side say and entered. Snape had a thick cloak on and some extras in his arm. "You didn't take as long as I thought well done anyway for your detention we need to go to the Forbidden Forest to get some ingredients. Izzy nodded and led out the door with Snape following. They walked out with quite the distance between them. They were dead silent which Izzy hated. She was talkative but she felt like she couldn't speak. He saw she had a puzzled look smacked on her face. "What is it? Are you cold?" Izzy broke out of her daydream and looked at him and shook her head cutely.

"No sorry Professor I had to zone out I get very anxious in silence." He gave her a confused look and raised his eyebrow. "The only time she has ever stayed silent in a group of people is when her parents were arguing about their divorce. Her dad started acting odd about my mum being a muggle. It always confused Izzy to why he chose her if he knew, she never hid it. 

"So why didn't you speak then, you can start a conversation first. Insolent child." The word hurt Izzy she hated him speaking down about her. "I am sorry your actually one of the better witches of your age. You care for the fine art which is potion-making the other dunderheads in your class know nothing it is rather draining. You saved Miss Dodgers potion, it was impressive I would sure you would fail, none potion masters shouldn't know how to do that but you're a natural. What did you want to be again?" His voice was softer more caring now.

"A Medi-witch sir. Why?" A small smile cracked on his face as she spoke. 

"I was hoping you would put your skills to use and I was correct. You are a smart witch Miss." She saw him smile which made her smile. Izzy wasn't going to deny it she did have feelings for Snape but she really did want to give Fred a chance.

"How far do we need to go Professor and what are collecting?" He chuckled and bent down and picked up a weird flower, weed, shrub thing. "And that is?" 

"I thought you were smart. Moondew. Wiggenweld Potion ingredient. I somehow ran out so look at it, examine it. Find it. I'll find the rest." Izzy nodded she felt protected with his presence around. She was happy. 

"Professor. I got a basket full. I am a bit tired now." Snape didn't answer her she felt like she wandered a bit too far. She was scared. She screamed out for him but she was stopped.

"You little twit. Shut it. Before I make you." She nodded quickly. 

"I am sorry- sorry who are you?" The weird man-thing was taken aback.

"I am a respected centaur. You stupid little girl. Why are you here alone anyway?" She looked very scared. 

"I-I'm serving detention with my Professor but I have lost him." The centaur looked at Izzy. He nodded and led her to where he last saw Snape. She was shaking. Scared of what the Centaur was going to do. 

"Miss Wilson! Finally. I was looking every-" He was cut off with arms wrapped around him. He lightly tapped Izzy's shoulder.

"I am so sorry about that. I wasn't thinking. I was scared, I thought you left without me." Izzy had tears rolling down her cheek. Snape wiped them away off her cheek. 

"Shush it's okay let's go back to my office. Then I will lead you back to your common room since its past curfew." Izzy gave him a smile, she did trust him but he also made her very scared. Snape led her to his office and she sat down gaining her breathe and stopped worrying. "Would you like to go back now Wilson?" He expressed to Izzy he sounded drowsy and tired. Izzy nodded but stopped him before he got up.

"I will uhm take my-myself back Sir you seem tired." She smiled at him and he shook his head. Izzy was wondering what he was thinking, feeling but not just what he was feeling in that moment sudden care thrust her. She wanted to know if he was genuinely okay but that she would never find out.

"Nonsense just hurry up and let's go it is far too late for this." She subtly giggled at him earning herself an eyebrow raise and a shrug from her Professor. He rushed her out and she followed behind him, they met the Hufflepuff common room and Snape said his goodbyes to Isabelle and she returned them back. Smiling while making her way through the common room into the dorms trying to be absolutely silent.

*SEVERUS POV*

That wasn't at all strange. I mean the girl actually cared about him. She didn't know that he knew but he knew as he used Legilimecy on the girl in his office. She wanted to know how he was feeling in general but she thought she would never find out. He felt strange knowing the girl thinks about his wellbeing. It also made him smile the smallest bit knowing one person in the world cared about him, no one really had since Lily well except Albus but he didn't count the old man he cared for all except the dark. Well, he was an exception. Severus knew something was happening to him, familiar things but he couldn't put his finger on them; he didn't dwell on those things for much longer before passing out due to tiredness in his soft king-sized bed.
