Chapter 4
I convince Severus to spend the remaining few days until the Hogwarts term starts, here with me at the Weasley's house. He leaves for the rest of the day to move his stuff to his quarters there. After he leaves I wander down to the kitchen for dinner. The room is immersed in conversation while I come downstairs but goes silent when I take an empty seat at the table. I glance around and everyone is staring at me.
"What?" I say, a hint of annoyance in my voice
"We're all just concerned about you dear" Molly answers
"Why? What's the worst that could happen?"
"To him or you? Which would you like to hear?" Lupin starts. I stare at him questioning
"If and when this gets out, firstly it's going to give Severus a bad reputation"
"Yea, cuz he doesn't already have one of those" Ron scoffs
"Secondly, if a student was to come forward now and say, claim sexual assault? It wouldn't be dismissed as easily as it once would have been. Also this could case discomfort among the parents which could cause him to get sacked. Not to mention Severus has a real issue with people picking at him for things, which this will surely cause”
“Have no idea why that would bother him so much” I retort, glaring at Lupin pointedly
“My dear, we were children, children are cruel. Even if I was to apologize a million times over it wouldn’t make a difference, nor would he by any means accept it. I assure you I have remorse for the way that we treated him. But back to the point, Severus is a very dark and temperamental man, you could get hurt. This will have effect on your reputation as well, and god forbid you slip up and were to get pregnant? What then?" He finishes seriously. I look down at the tiny swell in my belly and look away quickly. No one seems to notice except Tonks who is staring at me suspiciously.
"Unless of course, she already is" Tonks whispers and I keep my gaze down at my hands. "You are, aren't you? How far?" she probes
"Three or four months" I barely whisper
"Which explains why you didn't want to go back to school, that would be hard to hide" Molly inserts
"I had no intention of hiding it, I'm not ashamed! There is just simply no point in starting a term I can't finish" I growl
"No one is judging you dear" Molly tries to comfort
"No, but you are most certainly judging him! I can hear what you all think about him! That he's a pervert, or that he has abused me in some way. Wondering if this was actually consensual or if he has coerced me into this. I am to blame for this relationship! Not him. If anyone and forced anything it's me! He has never hurt me, and I love him! There I said it! I love him, I can't explain why but I do, and I don't give a shit what you all think all the same!" I scream, standing so fast my chair tips over clattering to the floor. I run out of the dining room and up to my room, slamming the door behind me.
I flop down onto my bed, I can feel my magic bubbling up with my anger. I lay there staring at the ceiling deep in thought. I must have fallen asleep because I open my eyes hours later and the room is bathed in darkness, the only thing I can make out is Severus' tall form in the moonlight. He stands staring out the window unmoving.
"How long have you been here?"
"I arrived moments after your little outburst, I could hear you screaming from outside the house" he speaks in an annoyed tone
"You're angry with me" I whisper sadly "I didn't mean to tell them Sev--" I stop talking when I feel his anger rising. I sit watching him as he stares off. A long amount of time passes and he still stands at the window unmoving.
"I am not angry that they know" he speaks finally "I am angry that you are pushing them away to defend me. You cannot come to me during term Celestia, do not destroy the friendships you have made here"
He moves towards the bed, pulling off his cloak and shirt, he kicks off his shoes, socks and pants and climbs into the bed beside me. I reach my hand over to touch his chest and he pushes my hand away. I slap the back of his hand angrily and sit up move closer to him anyways. He looks up at me and I glare dangerously at him.
"Stop shutting me out! We're in this together Severus, unless of course you plan on walking away?"
"Perhaps I should, I'm not good for you, I'm not good for anyone" he whispers. I sit in shock for a moment thinking over his words.
"No, you don't get to make that decision for me, I'll tell you the same thing I told them, I love you Severus. No amount of judgement, or being shut out is going to stop that. This isn't some stupid little schoolgirl crush, this is real for me"
Severus stares blankly at me for a long period of time then looks away.
"It really is hard for you to believe that someone could love you isn't it? You aren't the monster you seem to believe you are. Please stop beating yourself up"
He stares at me again, then brings his hands up to cup my face, pulling me down gently for a kiss.
“If you wish me to stay I will”
“You can’t say it can you? I can hear it over and over again in your head so I know you do”
“Be content with that for now” he whispers almost sadly
“I am happy with everything you have given me so far” I start and watch as his eyes move to my belly “everything love, even the baby growing inside me, which maybe it’s time to talk about?”
He nods but remains silent staring off into the dark of the room.
“I’m thinking that I’m due late January, and I’m almost positive it’s a girl” I start
He stares blankly at me again. I reach over grabbing his hand and putting it on my belly, pressing it down firmly.
“This is YOUR baby” I bring his hand up to my cheek “YOUR woman” I move his hand over placing kisses over his calloused fingers “YOUR second chance at life, why not let yourself go, let yourself be happy, take chances, you need to choose how you are going to use your second chance” I speak thoughtfully
He closes the space between us, his soft lips descending on mine. His fingers tangle themselves in my hair tugging my head back, he nips a trail across my collarbone and up my neck stopping at my ear. His hot breath making me squirm beneath him.
“I choose you” he whispers before overtaking me again.
