Fervent Affinity|| Severus and Gwen|| Closed RP
When Severus Snape fell asleep, the girl meshed fittingly between himself and a familiar quilt had already been dozing peacefully. He made sure of her comfort, and often ran his fingers through her hair- not to disturb her- but to ensure that she was secure and slumbering. When Severus Snape woke up, Gwen was gone, the blanket still placed atop his barely-conscious form, and there was not a note to describe her departure. Nonetheless, Severus had a keen smile on his face. He was content- at the time being- for his acquaintance with the bold-mouthed Gryffindor. The previous night had been a personal milestone for him in more than one manner; and he would grasp dearly to that intimacy. A few days later, he found himself wandering an empty classroom that had been set aside specifically for dueling lessons. Hogwarts castle was humongous, and there were enough classrooms to be specialized for a particular skill. He turned around, initially to ward off attack from a presumed Gryffindor bully, but instead was faced with a friendly member of the House. The girl whom he had shared a blanket fort stood before him, and the sight of her induced a smile upon his pale face. “Did you come to duel me, Gwenog?” Severus teased, turning his wand in his hand to expand upon the humorous notion.
