2 Become 1 - Snape (complete)

6

Days went by and Mya was feeling good, she was grateful to her head of house for
His reply, maybe he wasn't such a greasy git after all
She spent a lot of time getting to know Fred and Georges siblings, and their friends
she wished she was placed in gryffindor
She was doing well in her classes, had gained no detentions, and was finally feeling at home at
Hogwarts.

At dinner Mya watched Professor Snape as he sat the staff table, he was talking to McGonagall about something, he must have known that her eyes were on him as he quickly turned and looked at her.
Mya blushed and looked away, Snape was amused by this and kept watching her,
He was so drawn to the girl, he felt like he was going mad.
After all, he didn't think he could ever have feelings again after Lily.
But he did, and deep down he knew it
She looked up from the table to find he was still watching her, she stared deep into his onyx eyes, they were cold and pained, a memory of his voice resounded in her head, deep, masculine, the kind of voice that makes your knees go weak.

She was called to Dumbledores office after dinner, she liked him, he always seemed a kind and charming man, he reminded her of her grandfather from her mothers side, He had a similar long white beard, only her grand father didn't wear any glasses.
She arrived at Dumbledores office, and waited outside for Professor Snape to arrive
The potions master soon turned up, and greeted her politely

"Wobbling Willies" he drawled rolling his eyes
Mya burst in to a fit of giggles and looked at professor Snape who gave her a small grin
"You see what I have to deal with? He whispered jokingly
'At least the headmaster had a sense of humour' she thought

The door opened and they entered the office, Dumbledore offered them to take a seat.
"Lemon drop?" The old man offered holding a dish full of the sweet treats
"No thank you sir" Mya politely declined
Dumbledore smiled softly, his blue eyes twinkled over his half moon spectacles.
"Miss Taylor, I have received word from your father" Dumbledore beamed
Mya shuddered inside, and it must have shown on the outside as Professor Snape's eyes narrowed at her with intrigue
"You see Miss Taylor, he is visiting from France, and he wishes for you to visit him for the weekend" the old man smiled
"I..I... Would rather stay here professor" she smiled at the old man hopefully
"Nonsense! Your father really wishes to see you Miss Taylor!" Dumbledore insisted
"But, well.. I have a lot of studying to do and i would really like to stay here at hogwarts"
Dumbledore sighed and looked at me intently
"My dear, it is your fathers request, and you shall comply with it"
Mya felt her stomach drop, she had no choice, she had to visit

She left Dumbledores office, Professor Snape following her into the corridor
"Miss Taylor" professor Snape nodded as they passed each other

Mya ran down the corridor and out into the night air
She ran towards the black lake and sat under a tree, crying.
She sat there for what feels like forever, before a dark figure lurked behind her
"Miss Taylor, it's after curfew" it was professor Snape
"Sorry sir I.." She tried to explain but he cut her off
"Talk to me" he smiled gently sitting himself down next to her
"I don't want to talk about it sir" her voice was as cold as ice
Something he knew all to well
"I can promise you that whatever you confide in me will be in confidence, I will not tell anyone Dumbledore included." He looked into her eyes and she could see he meant it
"I just don't want to see my father, he hates me and he treats me accordingly"
"What do you mean?" Snape asked in a caring tone
"He beats me up, he gets drunk and he beats me up, and he says things, horrible things, and...I...." She started sobbing uncontrollably

Severus felt his heart break inside as he heard her words, he knew only too well how she felt
Having been there himself. He closed his eyes at the sound of her crying
He pulled his arms around her and held her to his chest and she didn't flinch this time
She buried herself in his robes and he tried to soothe her
Eventually she pulled away

"What things does he say?"
"That I'm stupid, and ugly, no man would ever want me, and he wished I died instead of my mother"
Severus couldn't hear anymore it pained him that much
"Look at me Mya" he ordered
She shook her head and kept looking down at the ground
Severus grabbed her chin and turned her to face him
"You are bright, clever, beautiful and any man would be lucky to have you Mya, do not listen to that bastard"
She sniffed and kept looking at him
"Do you really think so? Do you really think I'm beautiful?" She smiled slightly through her tears
"Yes, I do, you're stunning....." She could see him blushing

She put her hand on his and smiled at him, although her eyes were red and her cheeks were wet her smile was as bright as the moon above
Severus looked down to look at his cold fingers being held by her soft hand
"Thank you" she whispered

Severus pulled his hand from hers and brought it to her face, gently stroking her skin
Looking into her eyes and scanning them for any reaction
He saw a warmth in the depths of her Amber eyes and asked
"May I kiss you?"
