Severus Snape was not an easy person to be around with, and yet, you still found him intriguing. You let yourself drool over how perfect he was in your eyes—his handsome face and his intimidating height, his thick and deep voice that enchanted you every time, and you did not hold yourself back from falling in love with him.

You had grown closer with the Potions Master, always by his side whenever you did not have classes to teach. Sometimes he would find you after you finished teaching, and both of you would walk together to the Great Hall. The other teachers were aware now that you and Severus would always sit next to each other, and the students knew the only time they could see their Potions professor smiled was during the meals that he had with you sitting beside him.

It was not unusual for you to see him in his office after working hours, talking about everything and sometimes you would bring him books that you found interesting, then Severus would walk you back to your chambers.

Once, you had begged him to accompany you to walk in the Forbidden Forest, and somehow he agreed. It was peaceful for him to talk to you alone, without having to worry about the students' judging glares. Not that he would ever let you walk there alone though, it was too dangerous and Severus would not take the risk.

Severus always loved your company. He was hostile towards you at first, but slowly you made your way into his heart and he let you in.

That night, as you watched the moon through his office window, Severus realised something about you. As the moonlight fell upon your features, a smile was cracked on his lips and he admired your beauty.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

You referred to the full moon with a smirk, knowing well that Severus would make a joke, saying that the moon was not that beautiful for the werewolves. However, he did not say anything that night.

"Severus?"

"Yes, it is beautiful."

He agreed, smiling softly at you. You frowned slightly, but when you noticed that he was staring at you, you tore your gaze away from him and tried to hide your blush.

Severus knew he was falling in love with you, and he could not hide it anymore.

Seeing how your lips curled into a smile, he almost lost his breath. Then it dawned to him that you were far too different from him.

You were so young, so innocent and kind that he was afraid if he got any closer to you— He would bring darkness and ruin upon you. He had no rights to steal your innocence and kindness, for that he had done so many dreadful things in the past.

Hence, Severus did what he think was right. He distanced himself from you, hurting his own heart and soul while at the same time, he was breaking your heart.

You could see that Severus was changing. He did not talk to you in the Great Hall and he was never there to walk you back to your chambers anymore. His smiles that were reserved for you had disappeared and replaced with stone cold glares; the same ones that he gave to other people.

It hurt you so much because you thought you meant something to him. You thought that you were special, and not just like other people to him. Apparently not.

You could not remember what happened that night until he grew distant with you. Did you do something wrong, or did you say something that hurt his feelings?

You decided to confront him about it, but it did not go well. You approached him in his class as soon as his students were dismissed. He was surprised to see you walk into his classroom and it hurt you a tad bit because he was always happy to see you before.
