Severus Snape x reader one shots and imagines

The Better Student Part 2

Warnings: swearing, some angst, fluff

~the next day~

Y/N's POV:

I was walking to the great hall for dinner, I hadn't seen Severus all day, since we didn't have potions. I just hope he wasn't avoiding me...

I turned the corner and bumped into the very person who had been consuming my thoughts. "Watch where you're- oh... Y/N" I looked up at him.

"Hey um... could we maybe talk?" He nodded hesitantly. "I uh, I actually wanted to talk as well" my heart flipped. Was he going to confess his feelings? Maybe ask me out? I nodded for him to continue.

"About last night, I wanted to apologise. It was a moment of weakness. It meant nothing. I shouldn't have done it, and I apologise for it."

It meant nothing. It meant nothing to him.

"Oh..." I tried desperately to conceal how upset I was but I swear I could hear my heart break. "Yeah, no you're right" I lied, breaking eye-contact. "I'm just gonna head to dinner"

I couldn't bear to look at him any longer, so I turned and fled to my dorm, deciding to skip dinner that night.

Severus' POV:

"Oh..." she looked confused, almost upset? No. It couldn't be.

"Yeah, no you're right. I'm just gonna head to dinner" she turned and swiftly walked off... in the direction opposite to the great hall? Maybe she forgot something in her dorm.

The thought that maybe she was upset with what I had said, had crossed my mind. Maybe she really did feel the same? Maybe... no. No she was probably going to get something from her dorm.

~Time skip to three days later~

Y/N's POV:

I had been avoiding Severus as much as I could. I didn't speak to him. I walked in the opposite direction when I saw him. I avoided eye contact. Hell I didn't even look at him. I couldn't, it hurt too much. He just used me for comfort in a "moment of weakness" he didn't even consider my feelings.

My last lesson of the day was about to end. There I was sitting in potions, very much aware of Severus who was staring at me as if he was trying to figure something out. I kept my eyes on professor Slughorn, pretending to be oblivious to Snape.

"Class as you all know, your potions assignment will be done in three days, now please do remember that the potion, and the essay are also due in three days"

Shit. The assignment. How did I completely forget?

Severus' POV:

Three days. It's been three days since I've had any communication with Y/N. It took her blatantly ignoring me for three days for me to realise how much she really meant to me. Previous to this we would speak every day, either in potions or the halls or at dinner. Even if it was just a couple of snarky remarks. I hadn't heard her voice in so long or seen her stupid smirk. I missed her...

But why was she still upset? I told her that the kiss was an accident, so why was she ignoring me?

All these thoughts ran through my head as I watched her during potions. My mind completely tuning out everyone and everything, except for her.
