The next morning, you got ready for your classes

The next morning, you got ready for your classes. You put on your robe, shook Hermione awake, and then took your books. You went downstairs to the living room of the common room, yawning.

"Good morning~" You heard Fred say, making you jump. "God, Fred. You startled me." You said with a soft giggle, sitting down on the couch to wait for Hermione.

Fred sat down beside you, sighing softly. "So, how is the love triangle going?" He asked jokingly, nudging your arm as you looked at him with wide eyes. 

"What? What do you mean?" You asked in surprise. "What you think I don't see the way you look at Harry and Draco? You are quite obvious." Fred said, chuckling softly.

You laughed softly, shaking your head. "No, no. It's not what you think. I don't see them that way, I swear." You said, staring at him seriously. He looked down at your arm where you had unconsciously grabbed it, the wounded one.

"Oh, I didn't see you got hurt. What happened?" Fred asked. Before you could lie, Hermione saved you from answering as she went down the stairs.

"Professor Snape made her do some extra potions class. One of the potions went wrong and she got hurt." She answered instead, carrying her books. "Ready?" She asked, showing a smile to you.

"Yeah, I am. Let's go." You replied. "See you later, Fred." You waved towards Fred as you headed with Hermione to the door, watching him smirk mischievously. "Don't break any hearts." He exclaimed as you left, Hermione looking at you in confusion.

"He thinks I am in a love triangle between Harry and Draco." You said, making her understand. "Well, I have noticed you are quite close to Draco, and Harry seems to have some particular liking towards you." She said, smiling at you.

"Are you smiling about the Draco thing or the Harry thing? I'm the one who's confused." You said, chuckling softly before bumping into Professor Snape as you went down the stairs. "Professor." "Miss Y/n, I strictly said you'd be accompanied by me to your classes from today on." He said lowly.

"What? Why?" Hermione asked, looking at you in worry. "My mother said so. She doesn't trust that I'll be safe." You quickly managed to reply before Severus could tell the truth. Severus looked at you with narrowed eyes before moving out of your way.

"After you two." He said slowly, letting you continue on towards your first class. You glanced towards Hermione, seeing her slightly confused but relieved too. You also caught sight of Draco leaning against one of the columns, staring at you deeply.

You couldn't look away, stepping wrong on one of the steps and slipping forward. Thankfully though, Severus was quick enough to hold your arm, grabbing your wounded arm which made you yelp in pain.

You fell on the step and sat down, gripping your arm as Severus kneeled in front of you, staring at you worriedly. "Y/n, I'm sorry, kid." He said quickly, holding your shoulders softly. You knew Hermione and Draco noticed his soft side towards you.

"Why can't you watch where you are going?! You could have hurt yourself." He said hurriedly, his low voice making it more intimidating. "I'm sorry..." You muttered, glancing towards Draco to see he was staring at you worriedly, quickly hurrying away from sight.

With a sigh, you got up, looking at your bandage. "You should get the bandage changed. Miss Granger, head to class while I escort Miss Y/L to the hospital wing." Severus said. "Yes, Professor Snape." She said, sparing a worried look at you before heading off.

"Let's go-" "Why do you care so much?!" You snapped once everyone was gone. Severus looked at you with a surprised look. "You keep acting so close to me as if you are my father!! My mother acts as if you are her husband or lover! What are you hiding from me?!" You screamed.

"I have to keep lying to my friends about everything because I have no idea what is going on! There is always someone or something after me, wanting me dead or hurt! I'm tired already!" You screamed again, all the frustration and stress-causing tears to trail down your cheeks.

"Why do you do this to me, Professor? Why do you keep lying and hiding things from me? Why do you care so much for me?" You whimpered, feeling one of Severus' hands caressing your head when you looked down, sobbing heavily.

"I am so sorry, Y/n. Your mother... She..." He trailed off, his face showing only pain. He took your arm and dragged you somewhere closed off where you could be alone, hidden from everyone.

"I know she has never told you of your father because she wanted to hide it." He said. You snapped your head up to look at him, moving closer to him. "You know who my father is..." You whispered. "Who is it?!"

Tears trailed down Severus' cheeks, making you widen your eyes slightly, watching him sob as he clutched his chest, leaning against the wall. You watched silently, soft sobs leaving your lips as he cried along, finally getting the courage to look you straight in the eyes.

"I-I... I-I am your father, Y/n. I am." He managed to get out, his lips trembling as you felt your legs give out, falling to your knees in shock.
