I woke to someone wrapped tightly around me. Snape was curled against with his head on my chest, sleeping soundly, not aware he broke his own rule. I wasn't going to call him on it. The urge to hold him was strong, I refrained. Even though I really wanted to. The whole thing with James really threw me for a loop and I didn't want to confuse this moment by making into something it's not. I lay awake for a little longer, enjoying the weight of another person on me. I always liked cuddling with people, maybe it was the dog in me. It was always wonderful to hold someone and be held. Something that was definitely lacking with James. He never wanted to snuggle after sex. I usually snuggled up with Remus, he was always very affectionate toward me. I don't know what it was, but I craved constant contact with people especially those I held dear to me. That should have been my first clue when it came to James.
We started fooling around at the end of sixth year. It started up again in seventh year. I wonder why I assumed it was something more than it really was. I shrugged. Oh, well. Not like I could do much about it now. I was not going to fight for James. There obviously was nothing to fight for. Another clue should have been us keeping it a secret even from Remus and Peter. Never a good sign when your lover wants to hide you from the world. Snape shifted in his sleep, letting out a little snore as he held me tighter. I'm not going anywhere until morning. I gave in to my urge and tentatively held Snape. He didn't knock me out of the bed that was good. My body started to respond the longer I thought about the lithe figure clutching me. I had to keep my thoughts clean. It was harder than I anticipated. The feel of the wiry muscles under all the garments made my mouth go dry and the puff of warm breath against me was driving me crazy. I prayed that Snape would break his hold on me. Then again it was so nice to hold someone who didn't want sex then kicked me out of their bed. James wasn't the first person who did that to me, hopefully he'd be the last. No I'd make certain he was the last. He may my best friend, still not sure if its former best friend, but he was a prick.
I was able to fall asleep faster now that I was holding someone. The fact that it was Snape made it that much better. Who would've thought I ever think that.
A sharp intake of breath was the first thing that sort of woke me up, falling off the bed or more accurately being kicked off the bed, really woke up me. I hit the floor with a soft thump. Snape peered over the edge of the bed, glaring at me. I grinned up at him. He must know he was the one who touched me. I chuckled as I gathered my slightly sore body, stretched. Raising my hands over my head. My shirt lifted up a little revealing a bit of my belly. What really stunned me was the appreciative look I got from Snape. I looked the other way, feeling the color rise in my cheeks. What the hell? Why am I blushing? James looked at me all the time and I never blushed once. And for some reason I thought Snape liked girls. I was positive he was in love with Lily. Isn't that why he came here last night? My head spun with all the questions in my head, time to leave while I still I could without making a fool out of myself.
Before Snape could say anything I was out the door with a wave. "See you later in Potions," I said as I high tailed it back to my dorm for a quick shower and change of clothes. I found that I smelled like Snape and was a little reluctant to wash away the small trace of him that I had left. Really weird I know. No one would believe me if I told I spent the night with Snape. It was my secret to keep. No way was I telling anyone. Not because I was embarrassed. It felt like it was a special moment that needed to be preserved. Only Snape and I would know. I knew for a fact he wouldn't tell anyone, his reason would probably be more out of embarrassment. That was fine. The whole night was two strangers sharing different wounds and maybe healing a little knowing that you're not the only one in pain. I might have been wrong about Snape's pain. I wasn't sure, but I do know he was hurt and sad for some reason. I hoped I helped a little. He certainly helped me. Snape unknowingly helped me take a step away from the crushing pain James bestowed on me last night. For that I was grateful.
I arrived at my dorm to find everyone gone. Thank Merlin. I managed to shower and change in record time. I made it down to breakfast and ate a plate full of food by the time the Mauraders finished their first plate. All eyes were on me as I stacked my plate with more food. I was super hungry. All the stress was weighing on me. I forgot that James was going to be at the table. Not only that, Lily held his hand, whispering in his ear, that didn't stop James from staring at me. Pay attention to your girlfriend. I pleaded. A stab of hurt hit my heart when he deliberately wrapped his arm around her, bringing Lily closer to him. Suddenly all the food in my stomach didn't feel so good. I was saved by Remus who whispered in my ear, gaining the attention of James. Why did he care anyway?
"Are you okay? I thought you and James were together?" Remus pressed his forehead against mine. I relaxed, bringing us closer together. Too bad I couldn't have fallen for Remus. He was the best. It was probably for the best that I didn't. The burning gaze of Snape caught my attention as I pulled away from Remus to answer him. Snape glared at me and so did James. What was up with everyone today? I ignored James's glare. Instead I smiled at Snape. He appeared taken aback. He nodded at me after a long moment. I startled him out of his famous glare. It was cute when he was confused. Wow, another strange thought. It fit though.
I pressed my lips close to Remus's ear to insure he was the only one who heard me. "How did you know?"
He peered at me with luminous amber eyes. "Really Pads? I'm a werewolf. I could smell you guys on each other, but lately James has smelled well like Lily and now you smell like…." Remus shook his head, eyes widening. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. He knew. He smelled Snape on me. I wasn't going to say anything just yet, waiting for his reaction. Remus shook his head. "I must be mistaken."
I sighed in relief, staying close to Remus. He made me feel better. Always has. "He broke it off last night," My body trembled a little. The force of what James did finally taking over. I thought he loved me and now he was flaunting his new love with Lily. I only hoped he treated her better than he did me. She was off to a better start since he was open about their relationship. It felt like he flung my love back in my face saying it wasn't good enough. I got up from the table and left with my bag hitting my hip. I rushed to the Potions classroom to find people already lining up. Damn. James was normally my partner. I slumped against the wall, not noticing anything, trying to push all my feelings down in the deepest, darkest part of my heart. I failed. My emotions were always right on the surface. I'd be lucky if I got through the day without kicking James's arse. There had to be some way to at least be civil to him. I'd have to dig hard to keep that façade up.
"You know Black if you keep thinking so hard you might hurt yourself? Sprain your brain or something." A dark velvety voice next to me said. I looked in to the dark eyes of Snape. His lips titled up the tiniest bit. My heart slammed against my chest. I was at a loss for words. Snape was talking to me. In public. In front of people. He cocked his head to the side. "Speechless I see. I bet this is the first time that's ever happened to you. You always have something to say." Snape turned on his heel, fed up with waiting for my response. Snape got the last word in. That would be the first and last time. It gave me hope that maybe befriending him wouldn't crash and burn. The students started to go in to class. I stayed behind even when Remus and Peter went inside. They always partnered together. That left me with no one.
I moved rigidly in to the classroom, scanning the room for someone who needed a partner then my eyes landed on the very snuggly back of one Severus Snape. Found one. He was at the front of the classroom, setting up his station. Time to shock him.
"Heya partner what do you want me to do?" I looked expectantly at Snape. He gazed at me like he did the night before. He sighed heavily, not believing this was happening.
"Gather all the ingredients that Professor Slughorn has written on the board." Snape went back to put our station together.
I saluted him, grinning. This was fun. "You got it."
I went to get what we needed when Snape called over his shoulder. "Black this is only a trial run. If you mess up one thing you can find yourself another partner."
I bounded to the pantry with all the ingredients, smiling happily when a shadow fell over me. "What are you doing with Snape?" James growled from behind me.
I turned around to find him glaring daggers at me. Anger roared through my veins. He had no right to ask me such questions. "What's it to you?" I fired back. James's bright eyes rounded at my question. He obviously didn't think I'd fight back. I was ready for anything he shot at me. Friend or not I was not going to be anyone's stepping stone anymore.
