,, Professor, wait!" you shouted after him, but he kept walking.

,,Professor Snape please wait." He stopped when you reached him. It's almost impossible to see him during the breaks because he is always busy teaching ( or giving detention).

,,Do you have time right now?"

,,I was on my way to my rooms, if you want come with me." he said quietly while he was getting sure that no one heard what was said. And so you followed him with some distance.

He sat down on his desk and put a glass on it. With his right hand he poured fire whiskey into it. ,,Do you want some?" he asked and his voice sounded so tired.

,,Since when are you drinking Severus?" you asked him , trying not to sound concerned. No answer.

,,A cup of coffee would be great." Still in silence you drank the coffee. It wasn't comfortable silence as usual - there was a strong tension of unspoken things.

,,Is everything alright?"

,,I've heard you talked to Alena."

,, Indeed. I visited her a few days ago but she seemed kind of..I don't know."

,,Kind of what?" He asked but you were not sure yourself what was wrong with her , or in other words with the conversation a few days ago. And it can't be the best idea to to speak badly or negatively about her because Severus was happy with and that's all what counts. Your opinion isn't relevant in this matter and besides that, people change depending on who they spend time with. Her behavior towards you says nothing about the relationship.

,, Nothing. When was the last time you've seen her?"

He finished his first glass and put more whiskey in it.

,, Don't know, two weeks perhaps more." It sounded like he's used to it but how can this be possible? She's so close but fails to see him, not even on the weekend? He's drinking again, and your company doesn't seem to make him feel any better either.

,Don't you think it's a bit strange she's never coming to see you?"

,,No, why would I? She's just busy at the moment." but it sounded unconvincing.

,,Please stop this!" you said warningly when it wanted to pour in more alcohol. You stood up and grabbed his arm and pulled it back.

,,I think I'm old enough to make decisions myself thank you , y/n." He said angry.

,,Severus you are obviously not okay. I know you hate talking about feelings but please, please let me help you."

,,I'm completely fine, thank you. Just leave me alone. You're annoying me." That hurt. Your stomach contracted and you felt sick. Tears filled your eyes. He's not always the most nicest person but that really hurt. It wasn't the first time that it was a bit harsh, but he meant it. He meant it - you're annoying.

,,Are you kidding me? I just want to help you , there's no need to be so rude."

,,Sorry." He muttered.

,,You're drunk Sev and you should probably go to bed." You were standing next to him and tried carefully to push the bottle away. One of your hands layed on his shoulder to comfort him - to give him what he needs the most. Friendship,closeness and love. He leaned his head against your body and you two stayed like this for minutes without saying a word. Just the sound of the fire.

,,Come on, let's get you into bed." you said after a while, but before he could answer you there was a loud noise. It was the door. It opened and to the surprise of you both Alena stood there. She came in with a very angry look on her face.

,,What the hell is going on here?" She said with a loud voice, almost yelling.

He immediately jumped up and moved away from you. She looked demanding at him .

,,Severus I think I made myself clear." You were shocked. Never before have you seen her so angry and pissed.

,,You did but-"

,,But what?"

,, Severus? What does she mean?" You asked really confused and normally you wouldn't ask but there was a weird feeling that it has something to do with you. He looked at you and then back at her.

,,Nothing y/n."

,,Nothing?" she replied irritated.

,,What is she doing here? " Her face was full of despise and anger.

,, Excuse me? I'm spending time with Severus as you can see?"

,,Y/n I think you should leave." He said, almost sounding cold.

,,What is going on?" you asked him, without looking at her.

,,Alena thinks we spend too much time together and she decided we shouldn't see each other so often anymore." It felt like someone kicked you right in the stomach. She was always so kind, friendly and welcoming - one of your best friend's. Why would she think that way now?

,,But why Alena?" you asked her.

,,Do you really think I'm dumb? Do you really think I did not notice how you look at him?"

,, Are you out of your mind?" How can she say or even think something like that? You would never get involved with a married man who is, among other things, your best and only friend.

,,Oh please!" she spat.

,, Darling please, can we discuss this at some other time?"

,,Not Severus we can't!"

,,Who do you think you are? You don't come home to your husband for weeks-"

,,That's none of your business." she replied. But it was.

,,Look at him. Can't you see how much he's missing you? And now you act like i'm taking your husband away from you? Even if I would try to get him, can't you see how much he loves and needs you?"

Silence. No one said a thing. Not Severus. Not Alena. Not you.

,,I think it's better if you would go now y/n." He said after seconds of silence.

,,But Severus I-"

,,No, y/n please. Please leave."

He turned around and went to the bedroom. Now it was just her and you in the living room. She grinned. You went out without saying one more word.

The whole situation was so ridiculous but made you so incredibly sad. The fact that she said these things isn't the worst part but when he told you to leave. That hurt but it was not surprising , a husband sticks to his wife. On the wedding you swear to stand by your partner. To love and support each other, in health and sickness to the point of death. But he seemed so unhappy and not agreeing with her.

Tears ran down your cheek when you remembered the night again, the night he put an arm around you, in the forest when it started to snow.

So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
