Snape X Reader || Falling ♡

~ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝟚𝟛~

A/N: Here is another one. I'm glad you guys  liked last chapter I published. I'll do another chapter soon. I love you guys<3

Severus insisted on having me stay with him after last night but, I didn't complain. I never intended to leave. I wouldn't have even if he tried to make me. Then again, Severus would never do that. If anything it would be me making him.

"I have to gather everyone in the great hall." I ran my fingers through his hair. His bed sheets were soft against my skin and the light from the rising sun hit his eyes perfectly. He drew delicate patterns up and down my arms.

"Mm?" I brushed away the piece of hair that fell, covering his face. I had an idea of what he meant. With Harry being spotted in Hogsmeade it would only be appropriate to inform student and staff.
We didn't want Harry to come back. This was the last place he should be. It's to easy to get caught and to obvious.

"If Potter was spotted in Hogsmeade I have to make sure he doesn't come here."

"And if he does end up somewhere in the castle." He stroked my back as his face moved closer to mine. I could feel his hot breath upon my cold skin. "Then I suppose I'll have to figure out how to get the dunderhead out in one piece." He said softly.

His lips were warming against mine. They were filling. My hands had gotten lost further in his hair, tugging at it gently. His hand had cupped my face and pulled me even closer.

As he pulled away, I took his bottom lip between my teeth for a moment before letting go. A flash of surprise hid beneath his eyes for a moment."Do that again and you'll be in trouble miss L/N" He smirked.

"Oh no, I'm so scared professor." The sarcasm dripped off my tongue before I could even think. I laughed as he scooped me up in his arms.

"Mhm, and are you so sure miss L/N" he growled playfully as I attempted to wiggle my way out of his grip. He flipped us over till he was on top, the giggling subsiding for a moment. His hair hung perfectly around his face. His eyes perfectly consumed my body whole.

"Your beautiful." The room was filled with silence. Our breathes, the only sounds that filled the room. The look in his eyes was always hard to read but, this was one I had never seen before. His smile so perfect, so different. Others had thought the potions Professor was fully incapable of showing any hint of emotion. They were completely wrong.

In this moment, war was the last thing I had in my mind. The only thing that flooded my thoughts were the beautiful curves of his lips.

"I don't want to leave this bed." I groaned. He planted himself beside me, pulling me into his chest again.

"Me either my love. Unfortunately, we have to." He spoke so softly, his lips lingering upon my head. It was a moment when I had forgotten time existed. And we didn't have much of it at all. I pulled away slightly, looking into his eyes for a moment.

"Promise me no matter what happens, it will always end with us." My hand ran down his jawline to his chest. His skin warming me against the cold of the air. A hand cupped my face, fingers tracing over my lips. He had been taking it all in. Then again, he wasn't the only one. I had wished that we didn't have to promise such a thing.

And just like that, war was a terror in my mind.

"My love." He whispered.

"It would take more than a whole army to take me away from you. It would take more than death itself to pull us apart." Tears were threatening to fall. He quickly wiped them away with his thumb, leaving my eyes damp. I melted into his touch as he stroked my cheek.

"If we fight, then we fight together."

"Hey, are you ok? I've been looking everywhere for you." Makenna sneakingly took a place beside me as we filed our way into the Great Hall by house. "Yeah, I'm alright. Although you shouldn't be over here. If one of the Carrow twins catch you, your dead for."

"I needed to know if you were ok." We kept our heads low as we passed some professors ushering us all inside.

"Besides, Draco wanted me to tell you his father confirmed the plan he was talking about. Harry Potter has been spotted once more. Said something about another meeting soon." The Carrow twins were walking down the isles of students, making sure the houses were properly sorted.

Again? What was he was trying to do? Get himself killed?

"Thanks. Now go before you get caught." Makenna reached for my hand reassuringly. For a moment I wanted to tell her everything was going to be alright. I couldn't find it in me to lie.

"We will get through this. Stay safe Y/N. No matter what happens." The emotion in her eyes was apparent. She didn't know what was going to happen and neither did I. It was battle, bloodshed. A war between blood and power. We were going to fight. For our school, for our friends, for our families. Knowing you could lose the people you love and soon is the hardest thing that could come to a person. This was reality.

This was happening now.

I covered her hand with mine.
"No matter what." We lingered for a second, not wanting to let go in fear this might be the last time we had together. That's the thing with war. Everything that happens is sudden and unexpected.

She quickly nodded, reluctantly letting go of my hand. I watched her fade away into the crowd of students. It was silent.

The doors opened and Severus strode in, not a sound but his shoes against the hall floor. His cape billowed behind him as he stopped at the front, turning around. Scanning the room, his eyes fell on me for a moment.

"Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you at this hour." He paused.

"It's come to my attention that earlier this evening, Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade."

Whispering broke out among the students, the news of this brought fear.

"Now. Should anyone, student or staff attempt to aid Mr.Potter. They will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression. Further more, any person found to have knowledge of these events, who fails to come forward will be treated as equally guilty."

The silence was pounding in my ears. The students to nervous to make a sound.

"Now then."  He began slowly walking, speaking a little louder than before.

"If anyone here has any knowledge of Mr. Potters movements this evening, I invite them to step forward. Now." He proceeded to walk. The hall was quiet. The students and staff refraining from speaking up. I caught his eyes  again, waiting with anticipation of what could come next.

Loud footsteps were heard from across the hall. From inside the crowd, stepped out a student we all familiar with. A boy that was said to end this war once in for all. The hall erupted again filling with confused conversation.

It was Harry Potter.
