Severus Snape and Violet Marner

The Mirror of Erised

Ok, please don't kill me for not having Severus or Violet not getting each other anything for Christmas! They don't want to give each other the wrong idea.

Edit (June 10, 2017): In what universe would a boy giving a girl a Christmas present give the girl the wrong idea

Boys I know give me presents sometimes doesn't mean they're gonna fuck me.

Violet's P.O.V.

Before I knew it, it was Christmas. I hadn't gotten anything for Severus, but we had agreed not to do the whole present thing. It wasn't like my father had given me anything, except a beating or two, so I was fine with not getting anything. I woke up with my head on Severus's chest. I loved it when I was able to keep my head on his chest the whole night. Usually, my head would fall off onto his shoulder or something. Severus was awake. He was stroking my hair. I loved it when he did that.

"Good morning, Severus. Happy Christmas." (AREN'T YOU PROUD THAT I REMEMBERED THAT?!) I said.

"Good morning, Violet. Happy Christmas." He said.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"9:30." Severus answered. "We don't have to get up yet."

"Good. I don't want to get up." I said, shifting so I could see his face.

"You slept a long time. I thought you were dead for a little while." Severus said.

"I slept well. For once, I didn't have nightmares." I confessed.

"You've still been having nightmares? How come I haven't known?" Severus said. "Usually, you thrash or cry out when you have nightmares, Violet."

"I've just been waking up, terrified." I said.

"You should've woken me." Severus scolded.

"I didn't want to." I said. "I've woken you up before."

"I wouldn't have gotten upset with you." Severus said.

"Can we please talk about something else?" I asked. "Anything new on He-Who-Cannot-Be-Trusted?"

"He's been avoiding me lately. Probably because I never go anywhere without you." Severus said.

"I want him nowhere near Harry. If he so much as looks at him, I'll-" I started, but Severus cut across me.

"Calm down. He knows not to try anything with Harry around either of us now." Severus said.

"I don't want him trying anything with Harry if we're not around. He'll kill Harry if we aren't there." I said.

"We can make sure he isn't trying anything when we practice tonight." Severus said. We had been trying to get me over my fear of the dark, but it wasn't going to well. What we did was we had me walk alone in the halls for a little while. Severus had always been a few feet away, but I still didn't like it.

"Ok. That would be good." I said.

"You're getting better, you know. Not perfect, but better." Severus said. "With your fear of the dark, I mean."

"Aw, thanks." I said.

"You're welcome." Severus said.

Severus and I layed next to each other for a 2 hours, before we got dressed and went up to the Great Hall for lunch. Harry and Ron were sitting there, playing a game of what looked like chess.

"Good morning, Harry, Ron. Happy Christmas." I said.

"Happy Christmas, Violet." Harry said.

Severus looked expectantly at me and I told him I would be at the staff table in a moment. I turned back to Harry and Ron.
