• Sick Day •

You groaned when you heard knocks on your door. A sigh escaped your lips, knowing that you had to go and open the door because you knew so well who was on your door early in the morning. Your body was aching when you got out of the bed, and you sneezed, making the knocks got louder if that was possible.

You opened the door and your heart swelled with joy as you saw Severus. It was a routine for him to walk with you to the Great Hall every day, but it seemed like you could not even get out of your room today. You were not feeling well since last night, and your condition just got worsen when you woke up this morning.

You forced a smile, not wanting to make him worry despite how sick you looked like. Severus' eyes grew wide when he saw your fatigue expression, and he knew right away that you were not feeling well.

"You look awful, Y/N."

He blurted out, but of course, he did not mean it that way.

"Wow, thanks."

You muttered, sneezing a few times in front of him, only making his concern to grow even stronger. You felt dizzy and you were going to go back to bed when Severus carried you in his arms, and you clung to him like he was your lifeline. You nuzzled your face into his robes, sighing as his warmth engulfing you.

He laid you down gently on your bed, and you whined when he stood up so you were losing the comfort of his warmth. Severus chuckled when you pulled him back to sit on your bed, resting your head on his chest.

"You're warm, Severus."

Your voice was muffled against his robes but he could still hear your words. He put his hand on your forehead, frowning as he realised that your temperature was high.

"You're burning up."

He pointed out, worry was dripping from his voice as he winced at the sight of you.  Your nose was red and runny, and you were lying weakly in bed. Severus' heart was crushed seeing you like that, as he was used to see you so happy and bubbly in the morning.

"Stay here, alright? I'll be back in a second."

He said, as he was going to take a potion for you. He was the Potions Master, he would curse himself if he was not able to heal you and take care of you when you were sick.

"Are you going to your classes?"

You asked, realising that he had classes to teach. You were not going to make him stay with you, knowing that work was very important to Severus. He was not a person who would leave his work easily. However, he shook his head, kissing your forehead softly.

"No, I'll tell Albus that we can't get to our classes today. I'm going to take a potion for you, love. I won't be long."

You almost cried at how soft he was being with you, and Severus noticed that you were close to tears. Panic wrapped around his chest as he thought that he was hurting your feelings.

"Y/N, what's wrong, love?"

"You're so kind towards me. I don't deserve you!"

You cried out, and Severus could not help but chuckled at how adorable you were. He took off his outer robes and draped it over your shoulder, replacing his arms for a moment that he was not there with you.

"I'll be back soon."

He whispered softly, kissing your head before heading to take a potion for you. You smiled at his gesture, pulling his outer robes to wrap around your body even more, sighing when his scent comforted you.

When he was back with the potion, he quickly asked you to drink it and you did it without any questions, trusting Severus with all of your heart. He rubbed your back softly, trying to lull you to sleep with his quiet humming. But your head was pounding, and you found it hard to go back to sleep.
