Severus
I heard the door to the lab open and looked up to see that my day had found a way to get even worse.
"Granger."
I said her name with absolute loathing and turned my attention back to the papers my last class had turned in. Fom the corner of my eye I saw the blood drain from her face. Good. I wanted nothing to do with her. Not after what the Headmaster had told me. Especially not after the dream I had last night. My stomach turned as I thought of it and I scowled in contempt of myself.
"Professor Snape, sir?"
Damn that distracting witch! I looked up at her again, scowl still on my face, causing her to flinch away. Incredibly, she stepped forward again after a small pause to collect herself. Whatever she wanted to speak about must be important. Most students would have run out of the lab if I had looked at them the way I had looked at her.
"Sir, I came to apologize. I... I understand that the Headmaster spoke to you about... the rumors."
My eyebrow rose in surprise. I admit, at that moment she had my attention. Why was she speaking to me about this? I impatiently gestured for her to continue. She relaxed a bit as she saw that I was now listening to her.
"I completely understand why being approached about those rumors would upset you. They are quite slanderous and if the Headmaster had not believed the both of us, they could have affected your position at this school. Thus, I'd once again like to extend my apologies on the matter. I believe that was the cause of your... extreme reaction in hallway yesterday and-"
Angrily, I stood and slammed my fists on the desk. "You foolish girl, do you really think I give a bloody damn about the juvenile simperings of your addle-brained peers?!"
She swallowed nervously, taking a step away from the desk again. "I..." Suddenly, her jaw set itself stubbornly and clenched her fists, "Then why are you so angry with me!"
"Because I know what happened between you and the boy!" I roared, before I could stop myself. What a fool I was. I glanced away from her, willing myself to calm down.
"What exactly does that mean?" Her tone was sharp.
I turned my back on her to erase the notes I'd left on the board, going about it as slowly as possible. "It is nothing I want to discuss with you. Get out."
"No."
I whipped around in surprise, to find that she had come up directly behind me. We were only separated by the width of my desk. I backed away from her. You would never have guessed how meekly she came in to look at her now. She was just as furious as I had been mere moments ago.
"What. Exactly. Does. That. Mean." She gripped the desk so hard her knuckles turned white, and added contemptuously, "Sir."
In the face of this outrageous defiance, the calm I had willed into myself broke. With a flick of my wand I sent the desk flying away from us. While she momentarily froze in shock, I closed the distance between us and grabbed a handful of her robes, whirling her around by them to slam her back against the wall. I stepped close to her and murmured with icy contempt, "You come here day after day, moping about my classroom, acting the victim in some sad farce, and you thought I wouldn't find out? How much of a fool did you take me for, Miss Granger?"
It was with a small shock that I realized I had thrown her against the very wall that featured in my dream last night. At that thought, I broke eye contact with her, released her robes, and stepped away from her. "Get out. I won't say it again." I felt my gorge rise as I realized I had become hard again as soon as I recognized the situation we were in.
What kind of a man was I?
