Love From The Soul (Severus Snape x OC)

Chapter 15

Tea time concluded with a grim atmosphere, but none were bothered as we no doubt had both seen and felt worse. I didn't know what Snape thought of my story, and I didn't dare ask for now, I suppose I didn't care at that very moment since we were to concentrate on more important things. 

''Severus.....do you...remember the sample I gave you a while ago?'' He stopped, like a statue he didn't move. After a few seconds the answer came.

 ''Yes....Alzenia.'' The answer held a weight I didn't understand. 

''D-did you get any results from it?'' I asked meekly, the events of it's acquisition still fresh in my mind. Without turning to face me he answered. 

''I suppose.....however it is a substance of non-wizard origin, I quite obviously did not get very detailed information from my research.'' He quickly turned his head to the side to side eye me. 

''However, what little I was able to salvage made little sense, until we found out it was from the soul corruption and not the curse itself.''  

''And? What results were you able to get?''

 He didn't respond before dramatically turning around and putting his hands behind his back. ''Have you ever come across a dementor miss Nomendia..?''

 I shook my head. He slowly started to take steps towards me.

 ''When they are at close proximity one may feel all happiness leave them, replacing it with an acute feeling of dread and depression.'' I narrowed my eyebrows at his statement but waited for his next sentence.

 ''The substance seems to have a similar effect, only in an especially concentrated form, but it is also different, since it can have unexpected effects that I still am not aware of, however I very much know that it can be dangerous, the instability of the substance alone indicates it very clearly.'' My narrowed eyes changed into a wary glare.

''I know you're trying to say something more, just be blunt.....you usually always are.'' I replied with some form of frustrated worry.

His eyes narrowed into a glare as well before he replied. ''If the dark lord is any proof of it, people with bad intentions could very well use it to their advantage, and dark wizards are bad enough, but we have out worldly creatures with ill intent as well to think about.'' I closed my eyes and took a deep shaky breath...I don't know how I managed to stay calm, but I did.

''Yes, Mr. Snape is very correct.'' A voice suddenly said as we both looked in the direction of it's intrusion. The dark professor looked at the intruder with a deadly glare. ''If you make yourself present without consent one more time I will cut one of your horns off and shove it-''

''Woah woah please Severus calm down.....he didn't mean to startle you, I'll have a talk with him later just please don't .....do that..'' I said exasperated as I looked annoyedly at Kwartukka who once again appeared without warning. The man looked genuinely sorry as he took a few steps back in surrender. ''I deeply apologize.....I am simply accustomed to my world where sudden appearances are common place.'' 

''Yes, well they aren't very much around here so give us a heads up or something first.''

He nods solemnly. I sigh in relief before turning back to Severus. ''You were saying?'' He narrows his eyes at 'Tukka one last time before calming down and looking at me. ''Do not let anyone know about this occurrence, if this knowledge comes into the wrong hands, they could very well exploit you for access to the liquid.'' 

''Correct, which is exactly why you must solve your issue as soon as possible.'' The Demon then replied. The professor seemed annoyed by his talking but seemed to agree anyway.
