You and Snape were fairly close, given how you two got along really well, and given how he was a slytherin and you were a hufflepuff.
As that’s said, his feelings blossomed for you early in your teaching years, it was weird he never thought he’d like anyone like Lily, after Lily. So, he was very.. protective and territorial, (cringe) as he thought he made it clear what was his. Lockheart didn’t take the hints though.
Dumbledore requested a meeting. Naturally, every professor was required to attend. You chose to sit on the right of Severus, and Lockheart decided to sit on the right of you. Severus shot him a judging glare, and looked at you who was zoned into Dumbledore yapping, before he locked in and listened to what he was saying.
“…and so, regarding those issues, we need groups of 2 due to the students safety.” Dumbledore said stroking his beard, “you may choose who you work with, meeting disclosed.” He added.
Severus looked towards you, expecting that warm smile to be shining up at him, silently asking him to partner up.. you weren’t. Instead you were sharing that warmth with a certain stupid idiot of an excuse for a wizard. He was certain he didn’t even graduate. You could feel someone burning holes right through your skull as you asked Professor Lockheart if he wanted to partner up. Undoubtedly he said yes. Minerva took the opportunity to ask Severus to partner up.
You watched as Severus got up swiftly, something clearly off as he basically strutted into the dungeons from once he came. You couldn’t pin what was off, so later that night you decided to visit his office to see what was up. You knocked on his office door, hearing a deep irritated grumble of, “come in.”
You entered, smiling at him, though he was still studied on the parchment papers as he graded. “Severus,” you greeted, he ignored you and his eyes were still on the parchments. You quirked your eyebrow up, “awfully rude to ignore someone who took it out of their beauty sleep to come check up on you.” You teased lightly, softly giggling, though it was cut short.
“Awfully rude for you to assume I would need it.” He quipped dryly.
You didn’t know if that was a joke or not, so you still softly chuckled. “Well, dungeon bat,” you smirked softly, “I was going to ask if you wanted to go on a walk to collect herbs with me..” she trailed off trying to insinuate something, anything.
“You’d do well to stick to the partner you’ve chosen, professor.” He spat out, finally looking up, eyebrow raised as he looked, irritated at her.
You were taken back by his crude comment, and how he had called you professor instead of your first name as you did for him. “Now what is the matter of you.” You huffed, hands behind your back as you were a mere few feet from his desk.
He looked as if he was criticizing you, and every small intricate thing you did. “Matters that don’t concern you. I’m only reminding you of who you chose.” He stated, voice darkening as he narrowed his eyes and put down his quill, eyes still criticizing you.
You raised your eyebrow, hands now resting at your side. “You’re seriously making that a big deal?” You said, a thought that should have stayed in your head, and with unintentional attitude. You were surprised at your own tone.
But before you could apologize for your rude manners, he snarled out a harsh and cold reply that bewildered you. “You certainly aren’t, and so you aren’t suit to talk to me anymore, and sure as merlin not a proper professor or a witch.” He said with venom dripping from his fangs, eyes narrowing with cruelty. His mind paused, it was certain that hurt you and him, but he was far too irritated for your stupidity tonight.
You felt a pang of hurt and betrayal. Maybe you should have listened to everyone who said to stay away. Maybe you should have listened to him saying he hurts everyone close enough to him. You stared into his eyes, the eyes you’d see lighten up, just for half a second, whenever he thought no one was watching, especially not you. Now all you could see is darkness and hollowness.
“I see I am not enough, nor am I needed of you.” You breathed out, keeping the voice crack down. “Have a nice evening Sev-,” you cleared your throat. “Professor Snape.” You then walked out of his office basically slamming the door shut. Hot tears rolled down your face as you full on sprinted to your quarters.
Over the next couple of weeks you avoided him. Those walks you always offered after classes to him? You chose to stay in your quarters this time. Grading together? You only had a few hundred so why would you even bother? Dining hall? You always rushed to eat your food and you chose the furthest seat from him. Besides, he doesn’t need you or think good will of you anymore.
What made it worse, Lockheart has said nothing but be flirtatious. Totally not helping with what Dumbledore has asked of you.
Until, Dumbledore called upon another meeting. You were a few minutes late, as you lost track of time, mumbling a soft apology that you knew Severus professor Snape would critically judge. The headmaster smiled gently.
“I have come to notice that these teams have done.. poorly of what I’ve asked.” A few professors softly chuckled, but quickly focused. “So, I have chosen to change some rules, but before I do so, I would like to change the teams.” He listed off the new teams, poor Minerva, has to deal with Lockheart.. you really hoped you weren’t paired with Snape. “..And lastly, Severus and Y/N.” You groaned quietly under your breath, he seemed to notice,, looking at you.
The meeting ended and this time, you were the first to leave the room. Walking hastily as you made it to your office, unlocking it, reachi- boom! A hand slammed on the door right beside head. You almost screamed before a hand covered your mouth, you turned around and saw it was.. Severus.
“Oh—, professor. To what do I owe the pleasure.” You bit out, yet didn’t have any bite like he does.
“I could say the same.” You paused confused, him not making sense.. he was the one to come up to you.. right? He pushed you into the office, right before pushing himself inside as well. He locked it again.
You thought he was gonna lash out again, your heart racing.
“I have come to realize how I may have hurt you, and I would like to apologize.” Severus says, his tone dry but you could tell he was being serious.
You stayed silent a moment. “I thank you for your apology, Severus.” You thought, “but a mere apology is not gonna work.” You added, you rubbed your kinda sweaty hands together, avoiding his gaze.
“I understand.” He replied. “I would like to ask a question,” he stated. You looked up at him, and realized the slight frown. “Why would you choose that wretched man.” He scoffed out. “He is merely useless and only bothers with inappropriate words about you.” He looked as his anger was rising.
“I would like to ask a question too,” you replied instead, “are you.. perhaps.. jealous?” His eyes widened, faint blush appeared on his face, it was as if you had caught him red handed. You reached forward, grabbing his collar. “Severus.. I’m truly sorry, if I’m seeing this all wrong.. but I wish to reciprocate these feelings.. if you would let me.” You gazed at his chest, too afraid and nervous to look him in the eye now.
He stayed there, frozen in place for a good minute before lifting your chin and bringing his lips to yours. His hand going to your cheek, his other resting on the small of your back, gently pushing you more into him. You were shocked, but kissed back. The kiss set off fireworks in your tummy, soft, gentle and desperate. Words he would describe this feeling. Safe to say he casted a silencing charm so nobody could hear the two of you.
Though, at breakfast the next morning, Lockheart again tried to be seductive, seeing that pink hue to your cheeks almost made him keep trying. After he examined more though, peeking just a bit, purple marks.. hickies..? Hickies?! He looked all over you, from your hair that was a little messy due to the rush of waking up late to chair being scooted as close as possible to Snapes.., wait.. is that his hand on your knee?? Is Severus glaring and slightly smirking at him??? Merlin, you sure have lost your mind.
Ughhh I hate using the term Y/N it reminds me of my very cringe wattpad writings:/// (these are cringe still)
I love jealous Snape so much uagshsjak
