Happy Accidents

Sorry it’s been such a long time since I posted anything. Life happened and then I struggled to find the motivation but I hope you like this one.

Summary: You find out you’re pregnant after a one night stand with Snape.

Warnings: talk about pregnancy, menstruation that kinda stuff, also references to sex and minor bad language.

I woke up and it felt like a normal day. I get in the shower and get dressed for another day of work as assistant in the greenhouses at Hogwarts. Today I have a great day ahead of me…not, repotting the mandrakes is my least favourite job and I always end up with a massive headache no matter how tightly I put on my earmuffs.

I go to the breakfast hall and sit at my normal seat at the end of the staff table and look out at all the students and smile because those Weasley twins seem to have put something in Lee Jordan’s pocket and I can guarantee it’s something that Lee Jordan probably wouldn’t want in his pocket. Soon enough I can hear a small chirping sound and Lee Jordan looking rather annoyed as he pulls a handful of crickets out of his pocket and attempts to dump them on the twin’s heads.

It’s all going great until he walks in, he walks passed where I’m sitting. “Morning Severus”. I say cheerily.

“Morning” he retorts not even glancing in my direction. My heart sinks, I mean it’s not like I expected him to be in love with me or suddenly be my best friend after what happened the other week after Slughorn’s party but did he really need to act like he didn’t even know me? Maybe I’m thinking too much into it, I mean so what we had sex and now I like him but he clearly doesn’t feel the same way. It’s not like I won’t get over it right? But he could at least smile when I say hi and not just treat me like anyone else, the same way he treats his students.

I shake my head determined not to let his not so warm greeting get to me and ruin my day and start chatting with Poppy who is sat next to me.

After breakfast I go down to the greenhouse where Pomona was taking her 3rd year Herbology class, I sit at the back and start preparing the pots for the mandrakes that I am going to repot after the students leave. “Okay now I need to pop to the greenhouse next door I will be back in 15 minutes until then carry on with your venomous tentacula dethorning and any problems talk to Miss Y/L/N at the back” Pamona said as she nods at me and walks out of the classroom.

Ten minutes later a nervous looking Ravenclaw approaches me. “Miss Y/L/N?” she says timidly.

“How can I help?” I reply smiling warmly to try and ease her anxiety of whatever she’s about to say.

“I kinda need to go to the toilet, it’s um girl problems” she replies not looking at me.

Now this I can sympathise with, I write her up a pass and allow her to leave without question and as soon as the professor gets back I let her know she’s out of class and carry on my business. The interaction though got me thinking, it’s been a while since I last had my period, I count back in my head and shit I’m about a week and a half late. Shit shit shit, okay don’t panic, I mean I’ve been stressed recently and I’ve literally only had sex once with one person in the last month and I was careful. Except I’ve never been this late in my life. Oh man “don’t freak out, don’t freak out” I tell myself.

Once the break after first lesson arrives I tell Pomona that I have to slip out for a minute and briskly walk down to the hospital wing. Poppy is talking to a student so I wait a second. “Hey Y/N can I help you with something?” Poppy says after the student leaves with what looks like the cure for the Weasley’s puking pastilles, poor kid.

“Um yeah I was wondering if you maybe had anything, I don’t know how it works in the wizarding world being muggle born but um something to test for pregnancy.” I say trying to sound calm, I don’t want any rumours to be spread and Poppy is known to be a bit of a gossip so if I act panicked she’ll expect it to be some big scandal. Which if I am pregnant it probably will be, oh god no I can’t think like that.

She doesn’t even look phased “Oh yes, well I do have the wizard methods but I’ve found the muggle pregnancy tests to actually be much more effective, here you go all you have to do is…”

“Thanks Poppy, yes I know what to do and um could we maybe keep this between us, I’m barely even late yet I don’t want it to get out, it might not even be…” You trail off.

“Oh of course my darling, I take an oath as a healer I would never tell anybody. But sweetie if it’s positive please let me know if I can help you out in any way.” She replies with a warm smile.

I run to my room where thankfully I have my own private bathroom and do the test. The next three minutes are torture as I pace back and forth not daring to glance at the stick that will soon predict my future better than Professor Trelawney ever could. Finally my timer goes off and I go quickly to pick up the stick not being able to bare waiting anymore and glance down.

My heart feels like it stops. Two lines. I’m pregnant… and Severus Snape is the father.

The next two days are fuelled with anxiety and indecision. I did three more tests to make sure and they were pretty conclusive. So I made up my mind I do need to tell Severus as soon as possible so then I know what page he’s on and I can then decide what to do but every time I build up the courage to walk to his office I chicken out. Finally I see him walk down the steps to the dungeon after classes have finished for the day so I follow him. I see him in his office through the frosty glass window and I’m about to knock the door when I chicken out again. I’m about to walk away when I hear “Is someone out there?” Shit Severus noticed I was there well I guess there’s no turning back now.

“Um yeah hi, it’s me I err I was hoping maybe we could talk.” I say and my heart is racing so much it can’t be good for the baby.

“Very well come in then.” He said sounding bored with the conversation before it’s even started.

“Hi” I say as I walk in slowly.

“Hello” he replies warily.

“God okay so umm you know that thing that happened the other week after Slughorn’s party that we haven’t really spoken about or even acknowledged or anything.” I say rambling because I really don’t know how I’m going to start what I’m going to say.

“Yes I’m aware of when we had intercourse after one too many firewhiskeys” he smirks.

“Ah yes well about that” I say still stalling.

“Look I’ll save you the trouble of you telling me how much you regret it, I understand that in a sober state no woman would want to be with me and that you must be repulsed by yourself right now and I was trying to save myself by avoiding you the last month in order to maintain at least some of my dignity.” He says seemingly getting annoyed now.

I’m shocked “What? Severus, oh my god no I don’t think that, I don’t regret it at all. In fact I was honestly kind of upset you were ignoring me, it felt like you had just used me and then treated me like everyone else like what we did that night meant nothing, less than nothing in fact.” I can feel my eyes start to well up as I speak. “Don’t cry, don’t cry” I tell myself internally cause that really won’t help the situation.

“Wait, are you telling me you really don’t regret that night?” He responds hopefully.

“No I don’t Severus and even if you never want to see me again I’m happy we did it, I feel like I saw a whole new side of you that night. One that was kind and caring compared to this hard shell I’ve seen since then.” I reply softly.

“You’d want to see me again?” He looks a lot less solemn now as he replies, maybe even happy I can’t tell.

“I mean yeah but I ugh that’s before I”

He cuts me off “Oh I see you found someone else” his face falls again.

“No damnit Severus please just let me talk, I’m trying to tell you I’m pregnant.” I say almost shouting it at him. He looks shocked, the tears that were threatening to leak out before now do and roll down my cheeks. “And it’s yours just in case there is any doubt” I say in almost a whisper at this point.

Severus stands up and walks over to me, he pulls me into his arms and lets me cry. After a minute he says softly “How long have you know?” There was no hint of anger in his voice anymore “I did notice the last few days something has been off”.

I pull back to look up at him “You noticed that? I found out two days ago, I’ve been building up the courage to tell you since then” I say weakly.

He chuckles. “Yes I did notice you skulking around the dungeons a lot, and I thought it must be because you wished to talk to me but I didn’t say anything since given how I thought this conversation was going to go. I wanted to avoid it at all costs. Have you thought at all about what you want to do? It’s okay if you haven’t there’s time and it must be a shock to you. If I’m honest I don’t know how to process it myself just yet but my priority is making sure you are okay.” He says surprisingly calmly.

“I don’t think I could live with myself if I.. well if I at least didn’t try. But I don’t expect you to be part of anything you don’t want to be, I’m strong I can do this by myself if I need to.” I say determined this time as I wipe my tears. It’s the first time I’ve let myself consider this but I know in my heart raising this baby is my only option, the amount of love I feel for it already is crazy . But I don’t say this part to Severus, I don’t know where he stands on this or even if he can think about that right now after the shock of hearing this.

“I have no doubt you can raise a child by yourself, you will be an excellent mother. I see you with the students, how kind and compassionate you are. Any child you would be mother to would be lucky to have you. However if you will let me, I would love to be part of the child’s life. I never believed for a second I may have children of my own and I have to admit that it’s not something I ever envisioned for my future but the idea of raising a child and even more so raising it with you, the women that I’m in love with fills me with a hope I don’t think I’ve ever had before in my thirty eight years of life.” He says with a kind tone that I’ve only ever heard him use once before, when he was asking me permission to kiss me before we did the thing that got us into this mess.

“Wait? What? You love me? I… Severus” I stutter really not knowing what to say except actually I do know what to say. “I think I love you too, What do we do now?”

“We figure it out together, but first are you free this evening? I think we might have skipped a few steps and it might be about time we have our first date” He smiles.

I smile back and pull him into another hug, he kisses my head and I smile into his shoulder. Maybe everything is going to be okay after all.

Stuck

After a mysterious magical mishap you get trapped in the room of requirement with your enemy Draco Malfoy.

Warnings: sexual references but no smut and brief mention of periods.

“Damn it Malfoy, why did you have to go and disappear the door? Why are you even in here at all?” I say exasperated.

“I swear I didn’t do anything, like I want to be trapped in here with you anyway. I followed you here to see what you were up to, I’m a prefect remember I was planning to report you for whatever wrong doings you were planning on doing.” He replies looking bored.

“Hmph” I say, I mean it can’t be a coincidence that the door disappeared the second he walked in can it? “So what are we supposed to do now?” I look around the room it’s pretty small, just a single bed and an uncomfortable looking armchair in the corner.

It’s honestly a complete accident I ended up here, I was just minding my own business thinking about how I could really do with a nap after having double potions with Snape and then this door appeared right in front of me. I was curious and decided to see what was inside and so I peaked and it was just this room with a bed so I go in and then before I know it Draco was in here and poof the door was gone. I’d heard about a secret room that appeared when you needed something before but I thought those were just rumours made up by other students.

“Well I mean there is a bed, we could make use of it.” he said with a wink.

“Ew Draco you’re such a pig.” I retort scrunching my face in disgust.

“Chill out Y/n I’m obviously joking I mean don’t take this the wrong way, you’re okay to look at and all but your personality really lets you down and I wouldn’t want you to get all attached and clingy if we had sex I couldn’t deal with you hanging round me all the time” He says with a look in his eye that I can’t quite place.

I roll my eyes “Well at least I have one more thing going than you then, you’ve got the looks and the personality of a rusty spoon” I lie. I mean I can’t deny he is attractive but the way he seems to do everything he can to get on my nerves I could never give him the satisfaction of letting him know that.

“Oh whatever, we both know you’d love to get a piece of this” he says as he sits on the bed. I go over and sit on the arm chair at the other side of the tiny room.

I ignore his comment “But how are we going to get out of here? You’re supposed to be smart, any bright ideas?”. I really didn’t feel like being stuck here for too long, I mean it’s not very practical. Although I regretted it earlier I was now feeling very grateful I’d skipped that extra coffee I usually have at breakfast, I couldn’t imagine how awkward it would end up being if I had to pee. I hope we can figure out how to get out before that becomes an issue.

“Supposed to be smart? What’s that supposed to mean? I’m second top for grades in our entire year” he states pompously.

“Oh yeah, it would be better that I got stuck in here with Granger then, she would be able to figure out how to get out of here,” I smirk as I can see he’s pissed off by that remark. It isn’t true of course I may hate Draco but I’m still a Slytherin and some of those Gryffindors really are such goody goodies, Hermione Granger being the worst of all of them.

He doesn’t say anything he just pulls his wand out and tries a few spells that I’ve never heard of and huffs in frustration when nothing happens.

We then sit in silence for a while, I fidgeted in my seat. This damn armchair is so uncomfortable. After another 20 minutes I have to stand up because my butt was going numb from sitting on it. “Just come and sit on the damn bed Y/n I’m not going to bite” Draco said boredly.

“That’s not what I’ve heard from Pansy Parkinson” I retort and then immediately blush and regret it because she was talking about while they were doing you know what and I did not want to get into that kind of a topic with him.

He smirked “She said that did she? And you’ve been fantasising about it ever since I bet,”.

“Ugh in your dreams Draco” I reply but sit on the bed anyway as far as I can away from him without falling off. He rolls his eyes at that.

Another 20 minutes of silence passes and by this point I’ve leaned back against the wall sat more squarely on the bed now because balancing on the one edge of the bed wasn’t much more comfortable than the chair. I’m very acutely aware that my nemesis is sitting inches away from me but for some reason I feel the urge to close the gap between us. I must be going crazy in this tiny room, that’s what it is, I can’t really want to get closer to Draco can I?

Draco sighs interrupting my thought process, I look up at him raising my eyebrows expecting him to say something rude or obnoxious. He doesn’t he just looks back at me and shuffles slightly so his shoulder is pressed against mine. “You know I was only kidding before with all the sex stuff, I thought if I made it into a joke that I was propositioning you it’d ease some of the tension if we’re stuck here for god knows how long”, He says looking concerned.

“Yeah I got that it was a joke, I know how much I repulse you. You remind me of that all the time.” I say rolling my eyes.

“I didn’t mean it like that, I actually don’t think you’re all that bad, I just wind you up because it’s fun.” He replies.

“Not that bad, you really know how to flatter a girl Draco.” Rolling my eyes at him again.

“I didn’t mean, oh never mind” he laughs and bumps my shoulder with his.

I laugh too, I’m not sure why there’s something about his expression that I can’t help but smile at. We stay like that for a while just laughing about nothing, it feels nice. I’ve never realised how easy Draco is to be around before. Oh god what am I saying. Although I guess when I think about it I see what Draco means, winding him up has made life a lot more interesting and he hasn’t always been horrible to me, there’s been a few occasions where he’s actually been a decent human being.

For example in first year when I got lost on the way to transfiguration and Draco showed me where to go or in third year when I started my period in care of magical creatures and he gave me his jumper to tie around my waist so no one else would notice. He did both of those things while mocking me of course but he never told anyone about them. I expected to be ridiculed by the rest of Slytherin house for months especially for the second one but Draco never said a word to anyone. Maybe he isn’t so bad after all.

“What are you thinking? Why are you looking at me like that?,” he looks at me curiously.

I realise how close his face is to mine and I don’t say anything, I don’t think, I just lean in and kiss him. I’m not really sure what came over me in that moment, it just felt right. Any second now I though he’s going to push me off acting disgusted. But to my surprise that didn’t happen instead he kissed me back with a lot more certainty to his lips than I seemed to have had in mine when I initiated the kiss.

After what seemed like a lifetime he pulls away laughing “And what was that in aid of? I’m not complaining but I want to know what prompted you to accost me so I can be sure to do it again in the future” he raised his eyebrows at me suggestively as he spoke. I blush embarrassed by that “Really now the queen of comebacks has nothing to say? Hey but seriously please tell me what you’re thinking.” He says softly.

“Well if you must know I was thinking about that time in first year when you helped me find my class and also the time in third year when you lent me your jumper and how you’re not really that bad” I say still red with embarrassment. “But I’m sorry for as you say accosting you, it won’t happen again”.

He smiles, genuinely not that cocky smirk he usually does. “Wanna know a secret?” He says. I nod in response. “I did those things because even back in first year I liked you y/n and I mean liked you liked you. Any opportunity I was given to make your life slightly better by my presence I’d do willingly, even if I did tease you for it relentlessly.” He smirks his cocky grin now. “Oh and also I very much enjoyed you kissing me, you better do it again”. He then leans in and presses his lips to mine and we kiss again.

After another lifetime of kissing I pull away to catch my breath and notice that the door is back. “Oh my god Draco the door! I wonder when that appeared.” I say shocked but also kinda sad because I was enjoying my time in here at the moment.

He looks up not looking surprised “Oh that appeared the first time you kissed me, I noticed it then but I didn’t want you to run away without explaining the kiss so I neglected to tell you.”

I know I should be mad by that but I’m really not, I was embarrassed after that kiss and I probably would have run away and never got to know how he really felt. “Oh that’s weird, maybe the room of requirement held us in here until we got what we needed, even though we may not have realised we needed it this whole time” I say inquisitively.

“Oh so you needed me did you y/n?” He replies smirking again but there’s something different about the way he’s teasing me this time, it’s like something has shifted and he seems slightly nervous.

“Ugh you’re impossible Draco, so what now we walk out that door and go back to acting how we were before”. I say not really understanding his tone.

“God I hope not, I meant what I said y/n. I think I’m going to explode if you don’t let me kiss you again once we get out of here”. He looks at me worriedly.

“Oh, well I guess I’d be okay with that. But I don’t really wanna be another one of those girls you just sleep with and brag about. I’m not that kind of girl Draco, if we’re gonna do this I can’t be worried about if you’re sleeping with Pansy in the next room while I’m studying or something like that” I say, really hoping he wants me and just me, I can’t bare it if he says no at this point.

“Y/n please, you’re my one and only. You always have been those other girls have only been distractions since I thought you hated me. Now I know you don’t that changes everything, I only want you, say you’ll be my girlfriend?.” He says genuinely sincere.

“Girlfriend?” I stutter. “I well, I, yes I would love that Draco”. He breathes a sigh of relief. “Shall we get out of here then?” He nods and holds his hand out to me. I take it and we slowly leave the room of requirement. Everything looks normal once we’re out which obviously it does. I just don’t know, I feel like the universe has shifted somehow. I laugh at the ridiculousness of that.

Draco looks at me curiously “Care to let me in on the joke?” He says confused.

“I just, well I feel like since we’ve been in there so much has changed but everything out here just looks the same as when we went in,” I sigh thinking I must sound crazy.

“I know what you mean” he says as he smiles at me and pulls me in for another kiss.

“No fraternising in the corridor, move along haven’t you two got charms to go to?” Professor Snape seems to appear out of nowhere to say. I look down at my watch 5 minutes until our class.

“Oh my god Draco we’re gonna be late for Flitwick, let’s hurry.” I say slightly panicked.

He smiles down at me “Don’t worry about it, I’m always late he never says anything but I’ll meet you there, honestly I’m kind of glad we got out of there when we did, I rather need to make a detour to the boys lavatory and that could have gotten very awkward very quickly if we would have been trapped for much longer” he chuckles.

I laugh too “Yeah you better hurry up you don’t want to give me any more fuel than I already have to tease you with, don’t think I’ve forgotten your pathetic attempt at using magic to get us out of there to begin with,” I say.

“Ha well I didn’t see you doing anything to get us out of there other than being all. Oh Draco please get us out of there while giving me those gooey kiss me eyes” he mocks.

“Pah yeah right I was just giving you a chance to show off because I know you like to,” I retort now Draco is my boyfriend his teasing doesn’t make my blood boil like it used to, infact it makes me smile. I give him a kiss on the cheek and say “I’ll save you a seat in class”.

I walk briskly to Flitwick’s classroom and make it with seconds to spare, Draco joins 5 minutes into class and Flitwick doesn’t even say anything. He sits down next to me and grabs the hand I’ve got resting on my thigh, I subtly move my chair closer to his and rest my head on his shoulder as we listen to Flitwick drone on about the history of the Patronus charm. I definitely prefer this new arrangement we have going on to the whole nemesis thing.

Embarrassment at Spinner’s End

Request: I know it’s along the same lines as your other one but could you possibly do one where you are in a relationship with Snape and you’re on your period and you accidentally leak on the bed.

Trigger warning: talks of periods and menstruation and blood.

I wake up and feel that familiar ache in my stomach that tells me my period is here. Oh great I thought, I get ready to get up and go to the bathroom before it can really get going but then I feel the wetness underneath me “oh shit” I mutter. I quietly grab my wand from the nightstand trying as hard as possible not to disturb Severus but too late he’s already noticed my shuffling and began sitting up. I inwardly groan.

“Lumos” I hear as a faint light shines from his wand. ”What’s a matter y/n?” he asks softly. It always surprises me how perceptive he is, anyone else would have thought I was just moving about to get comfortable but somehow he just knows there’s something up. The thing is I never did perfect silent spells so I can’t really just clear up my mess without him noticing me muttering the spell under my breath. I also have no idea how he’s going to react, in the 6 months we’ve been seeing each other we’ve never really talked about my monthly visitor. We’ve both been busy and it’s never ended up coinciding with the time we’ve spent together.

I take a deep breath it, screw it I might as well tell the truth I mean I don’t think I can come up with a convincing lie at this point I’m still half asleep. Also I really do need to get to the bathroom to sort myself out. “Nothing really, it’s kind of embarrassing… I umm kinda started my period in my sleep and I leaked a bit on the bed. I’m really sorry I was just about to clean it up. I hope you’re not upset.” I rambled.

“Upset?! Why would I be upset it’s perfectly natural. I’m a teacher for god sake a head of house at that, I’ve had to deal with many a menstruating student. My girlfriend’s period is nothing to get upset over. Allow me” he quickly wordlessly cleans up the mess on the bed with his wand. “Do you need me to get you anything? Do you have supplies with you?”

“Oh crap” I realise no I didn’t. We were at his house and Mother Nature had decided to surprise me a few days early. “Do you think a muggle supermarket might be open this late?” I looked at the clock it was 3:15 in the morning.

“I mean probably not it’s a Sunday, but I do have some emergency supplies for you in the bathroom cupboard just incase this were to happen one day. They might not be the exact brands you use but there’s some tampons and pads, I wasn’t sure which you’d prefer so I got both. I figured it didn’t matter in an emergency so much. I can go out once the shops open in the morning for you however and get your preferred kind.” He says soothingly.

“You have things for me? We’ve never even talked about my period before, how long have you had them?” I was taken aback by the sweetness of this gesture.

“Since you first started staying here, I also have some pain potion readily brewed incase you have any pain associated with your period. Now why don’t you get to the bathroom before we need to clean up another mess.” He says looking concerned.

I blush and go red in embarrassment again in the glow of his still lit wand I know he can tell. “Oh yeah I should…” I trail off and get up trying to face away from him so he won’t be able to see the mess on the shorts I slept in.

“You don’t need to hide from me Y/n I’m not going to be scared off by the sight of a little blood. Do you need me to get you that potion? Or are you okay for now?” He chuckles softly at my attempt at walking backwards.

“Yeah the potion would be good thank you, my stomach hurts a little” I reply sheepishly then bolt to the bathroom. Once in there I check the cupboard and like he promised the two packages are in there, I pick up the box of tampons and notice a note I grab it and read it.

“I’m sorry you’ve had to use these emergency supplies, I do not envy you women for what you have to go through. I hope you’re feeling okay and just remember I love you. Yours Sev” My heart melts a little at the words and I feel a tear trickle down my face. I quickly wipe it away, damn hormones making me all sappy. I then quickly sort myself out and take my shorts off and underwear off and putting on the spare pair of underwear I took to the bathroom with me but not knowing what to do about the shorts. I put the dirty clothes in the laundry and then hear a light rap at the bathroom door.

“Sorry to disturb you but I have left a black shirt outside the door if you wanted to wear that to bed for the rest of the night. It should be long enough on you that you won’t be too indecent but I don’t have anything else that would be suitable and I assume you don’t want to put your jeans back on to sleep in.” Severus says slightly muffled by the door. This man really does think of everything.

“Thank you, the shirt would be perfect thank you, I don’t have anything else.” I reply gratefully.

“I’ll see you back in bed” he states as I hear him leave. God damn it I’m crying again. Does he really have to be this sweet to me? People always warned me away from Severus when we first started seeing each other. They told me he’s cold and he won’t care about me, he’ll only want one thing. But I never once saw the person that they were describing I saw a kind, passionate man who will stop at nothing to protect the people he cares about the most. I mean just look at how he takes care of Harry and no one even notices all because of how much he cared for Lily.

I get changed and exit the bathroom and make my way over to the bed lighting the way with my wand. I notice a blue concoction on the nightstand and I pick it up “is this the pain potion?” I ask hopefully, my stomach was really starting to bother me now.

“Yes, oh y/n have you been crying?” he looks concerned again. “If it’s because you’re embarrassed please know there’s nothing to be ashamed about, it’s only me. Please I hate to see you embarrassed in front of me, all I want is to see you comfortable and happy.”

I quickly drink down the potion ignoring the bitter taste and feeling relieved by the instantaneous warmth that spreads the pain doesn’t vanish completely but it fades to a dull ache. “No it’s not that,” I say reassuringly. “ I mean I am still embarrassed I can’t help that but that’s not why I was crying, I’m just hormonal and all of your sweet gestures just got me a little overwhelmed that’s all. I’m not used to someone caring about me this much. I am so in love with you my grumpy old man” I sniff a little at that doing my best to try not to well up again.

He laughs “Enough of the grumpy old man please, I am only 38 not exactly a pensioner yet. My darling you are my world, I could never bear to see you in any kind of discomfort. I love you with all my heart.”

“Okay okay please stop being so cute or I’ll start crying again” I say as I get into bed and cuddle into him.

He kisses the top of my head and hugs me tightly back. “We wouldn’t want that now would we. How’s the pain now?.”

“A lot better, still there but I think I will be able to fall asleep easier now. Thank you Severus for everything.” I reply. I think he says something back but I’m already drifting off.

The next day he surprised me with breakfast in bed and we watched my favourite muggle films on his seemingly ancient television set. Honestly wizards really need to get with the times, I think the technology doesn’t work around magic is a load of rubbish and wizards just don’t want to think muggles have the capability of making useful inventions without magic. I’m so grateful to be muggleborn so I can have the best of both worlds.

I was really dreading having to deal with my period for the first time around Sev but I know now there was never anything to worry about. He will always be there to take care of me, I know that now. I don’t think I could be more in love with this man if I tried.

Under the Weather

Summary: You’re in the order, staying at 13 Grimmauld place and manage to catch wizard flu. Snape ends up taking care of you.

Warning: mentions of sickness and throwing up so if that affects you don’t read.

I wake up with a pounding head and a sore throat. Oh great this is just what I need right now, to get sick.

I’d been working with the order for a few months now ever since I got suspicions that there was something a miss going on in the ministry. I worked in the foreign correspondence department and I’d heard Fudge mention that there were a group of rogue wizards that believed Harry Potter and they were making a plan to defeat Voldemort. He laughed at the idea but I felt I needed to join them. I managed to find out Kingsley Shacklebolt was part of this group of rogues and I approached him offering my services.

The order welcomed me with open arms and I was happy to be a part of it, so now I spend all my waking time (and sleeping time) here too. Today I was supposed to go to Hungary with Sirius to seek out some werewolves living there and convince them to join us but my body has other ideas. I move to get up and everything aches, I’m going to have to tell him I can’t go.

I trudge downstairs and into the kitchen Remus, Sirius and Severus are in there chatting and look up at me as I walk in. “Oh wow you look terrible lass” Sirius said concerned.

“I feel terrible, I think I caught that wizarding flu from Umbridge in that meeting on Tuesday. She sat right next to me and was coughing and sneezing the whole time. I wish she’d stuck to the rules she gives the students at hogwarts and kept her distance from me like she wants the students to from each other” I laughed weakly.

“Why don’t you go back to bed y/n, I will go to Hungary with Sirius I have just come back from my own mission so I don’t have anything else I need to be doing right now. You get some rest and maybe you can join me in Scotland next week.” Lupin said kindly.

I opened my mouth to argue but honestly all I wanted to do is curl up in bed with a cup of tea. “Okay” I agreed and go to put the kettle on.

“Let me do that Y/L/N, I’ll bring it up to your room” I turn around shocked by who that voiced belonged to, it couldn’t be Severus Snape could it. To my surprise that’s just who it was, looking at me with that same emotionless expression he always does. I must not have heard him correctly surely he must have said something else.

“You don’t have to..” I start, looking to Sirius and Remus who looked equally shocked by Severus’ kind offer.

“Hush now, get some rest. Let me make the tea, go on upstairs.” He dismissed me like I was one of his students after class.

I left the kitchen grateful but confused. Me and Severus Snape have not really had much communication the time I’ve been here, he only stays here for meetings and generally doesn’t stick around to socialise. I mean I always smile and say hi when I see him and make small talk about the weather or something but the only real conversation I’d had with him was when we’d argued in the last meeting about how to handle the giant situation. Oh well, I’m not gonna complain I really did feel like hell right now.

I got in to bed and closed my eyes. After a few minutes I heard a small knock at the door “come in” I croak.

Snape walks in with a tray that contains tea and a strange green potion vial that I’ve never seen before. “Here, I brought you a potion that should make you feel better, it’s a concoction of a flu remedy and a sleeping draft. It’s perfectly safe don’t worry.” He states as he places the tray next to me on the bedside table.

“Thank you” I say weakly as I sit up. I take the tea and start to drink it.

“Let me know if you need anything else, I will be in the study.” He says as he quietly leaves.

I wake up to a quiet rap at the door, I check the time I’ve been asleep for 5 hours. I sit up and immediately regret it, I feel worse than before it really must be the flu, my head is spinning. Snape opens the door a crack then sees that I’m awake and opens it wider and walks in. “ I just wanted to see how you were doing”.

I can’t focus on what he’s saying the room just keeps spinning. I jumped up and run to the bathroom, he follows me and just in time I reach the toilet to throw up. I groan thinking about how I probably just got sick in my hair then realise there’s someone behind me holding it back.

“Are you done or are you going to vomit again?” Severus says gently. My words don’t answer his question as another wave of nausea washes over me. I should be embarrassed he’s here and tell him to leave but I can’t find the strength to.

After what seemed like an eternity the uneasy feeling in my stomach settled and I stood up carefully. I walked over to the sink and cleaned my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked terrible, my hair all over the place and my face was pale.

“I’m sorry you had to see that” I chuckle weakly. “You shouldn’t have followed me in here”.

“I’m a professor at hogwarts, I have to have a strong stomach to work around children all the time. They often take those puking pastilles created by the Weasley twins to get out of my class, compared to some of them that was nothing. Besides anything I can do to help I will”.

“I need to go and lie down” I say starting to feel a little dizzy. He said nothing and just helped me to my room in silence.

Once I was in bed he said “I’ll be back in a moment, I’ll get you something that should help with the sickness” and he walks out the room.

I close my eyes hoping it’ll help but it doesn’t and I open them again once he comes back in. He hands me a yellow vial which I drink without questioning it because if it kills me then at least it’ll put me out of my misery. “Why are you being so nice to me, you never have before?”

He chuckles “I’m not nice to anyone, that doesn’t mean I don’t care. You’re probably the only person around here that actually treats me like a human being and not something they’ve wiped off the bottom of their shoe.”

“Oh” I say, I didn’t know what to say because thinking about it no one does treat Snape with any kind of respect in the order. “I’m sorry they don’t treat you with respect. If you want I can say something to them” I try to smile at him but I feel too crappy I think I end up just grimacing.

“No I’m used to it, it’s been the same since we were all in Hogwarts. But anyway let’s not talk about me, you need to get some rest to feel better. Is there anything else you need, do you need anything to reduce a fever?” He says but doesn’t wait for my answer he presses the back of his hand to my forehead “you seem to feel like an okay temperature. Do you feel hot or cold?”.

I shake my head to answer his last question “I don’t need anything” I reply, he nods and goes to leave “wait” I say a bit too loudly because it hurts my head, I wince.

“What is it, do you need be sick again I can…”

“No” I interrupt him. “It’s nothing like that just would you mind if. I mean it’s okay if you don’t want to I just, can you…”

“What is it, come on you can ask me anything” he says in concern.

“Would you stay with me? I’m just feeling a bit sorry for myself so don’t want to be alone” I say weakly.

“Oh, of course.” he goes to sit on the other side of the bed. If I didn’t feel so rubbish I might laugh at the way he’s comically perched right on the edge almost falling off.

“You can get closer you know, I don’t bite” then regret what I’d said because I realise that he’s probably sitting so far away because I’m contagious. I’m an idiot. “Oh wait yeah it’s probably best you don’t get too close, I wouldn’t want you getting ill too. I mean I would take care of you but my potion making skills aren’t as good as yours so I’d probably end up making you worse” I try to make a joke to hide my embarrassment from my earlier stupidity.

He scoots closer and goes to press a kiss to the top of my head. “I’m not worried about getting sick, I assume you have the same flu that is sweeping its way around the ministry and took a viral prevention potion before I came in here, the ministry has just given the recipe to all teachers and hospital staff to ensure that students and patients can be properly looked after if they get sick. I just didn’t want to make you uncomfortable by sitting too close” he says matter of factly.

“You couldn’t ever make me uncomfortable Severus.” I slur the last part of that sentence and close my eyes, man I’m tired all of a sudden. I try and open them to stay awake.

“Oh sorry I forgot to mention I added some more sleeping vial to the anti sickness medication to help you sleep. If you want me to leave I can go” he says sounding genuinely apologetic for not warning me.

“It’s okay” I say my voice barely legible. “Please stay at least until I fall asleep” I move to cuddle up against him, enjoying the body heat because I’m suddenly feeling very cold. It must be the fever setting in, I was wondering when that would hit.

He hugs me back. “Always.” he replies and I drift off to sleep not knowing whether I imagined that last word from him or not.

_______________________________________

I wake up, groggy and realise that it’s the next day. I realise I’m alone in the room. Maybe Snape being here taking care of me was just a hallucination thought up by my fever driven mind. Then I turn over in the bed and see a piece of parchment on the other pillow.

“Dearest Y/N,

I have had to go away on business of the order for a few hours. Please forgive me for leaving you I did however administer you some anti fever potion and your fever appeared to break not long after that so I do hope by the time you are seeing this you are feeling much better.

I will check on you once I return but I have left you some headache potion on the side as my research suggests the usual progression of this illness that is most likely what you will be suffering with when you wake up.

Yours,

Severus Snape”

Oh so it wasn’t a hallucination or dream after all, he was really here. I smile to myself especially at the word yours. “If only” I mutter. I realise he was right I did feel a lot better, still a bit of a headache and my throat hurts but there’s no nausea and general aches have all gone. Also I realise my appetite must be back because I’m starving.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and shower this icky feeling of illness away and then make my way to the kitchen to see what I can find and decide to make a sandwich. As I’m buttering the bread someone walks in.

“Feeling better I assume” Snape says hopefully.

“A lot, thank you for taking care of me Severus, it means a lot. I promise if you ever get sick I will be your number one nurse” I smile.

“If that’s the case maybe I shouldn’t have taken the protection potion after all” he makes a joke. I’m surprised by this, what’s he trying to say? My brow furrows. He seems to notice this and says. “If it meant I’d get to spend more time with you, then I’d do whatever it takes.”

I laugh. “Be careful what you wish for. But seriously I wouldn’t wish how I felt yesterday on anyone, if you want to spend more time with me just ask.” I say hopefully.

He picks up the headache potion I was about to take with my sandwich and hands it to me. “How about once you are fully recovered, you let me take you out to Hogsmeade for dinner.”

“I’d like that a lot” I say before I drink the potion and kiss him on the cheek. He looks into my eyes for a second and I don’t know what comes over me, maybe I’m still slightly delirious from the fever but I get the strong urge to kiss him so I press my lips to his and for a second he kisses me back. Before I can take it any further though he pulls away, sighs and goes to carry on finishing making the sandwich I started. I stare at him, tears forming in my eyes slightly from the rejection.

He looks at me and notices my tears he lifts his hand to wipe them away before they can fall “You need to eat, and rest and if by some miracle once you’re feeling completely better you want to do that again, I will be more than happy to oblige.” He says reassuringly. “You were saying some very odd things in your sleep and I need to know that your consent is truly valid and not a result of some sort of delirium before I even so much as kiss you.” He looks sad for a moment. “It’s just I can hardly believe you would want to kiss someone like me anyway.”

“Oh Severus” I say. “I barely even feel sick anymore I swear, but it’s admirable that you’re waiting until you know for sure I can consent. You’re such a gentleman and I promise you once I’m better I’m definitely going to want to do that some more” I wink at him.

He smiles, then thrusts the plate containing the sandwich towards me. “Then I will look forward to it greatly but for now please eat”.

I take the plate and sit down, he sits next to me and we sit in silence while I eat. For the first time since Harry had announced Voldemort was back I felt hopeful for the future. Maybe getting sick isn’t so bad after all.

Distractions

Summary: You’re alone in Grimmauld place with Lupin and he walks in on you upset about the war and attempts to comfort you.

Warnings: Themes of war and dark times, and hints that sexy times take place.

I was sitting in the kitchen of 13 Grimmald place thinking about the events that had recently taken place. Dumbledore killed by Snape, a man I thought me and the rest of the order could trust and now Harry, Ron and Hermione were off somewhere doing a secret mission for Dumbledore that none of the rest of us knew about. School was awful now that Snape was in charge and the Carrows were torturing everyone.

Up until Dumbledore’s death Professor Snape was my favourite teacher, although he seemed like a hard ass in class I could see through that facade and the chats we’d had while working for the order had been meaningful, he’d helped me through a lot. My parents had been labelled blood traitors by the recently taken over ministry and were making their lives hell and he’d helped me cope with that and now I’d found out he was working for the very people causing all the heartache in my family. It was all so confusing.

That all leads to today, it’s Christmas break at hogwarts and my parents thought it’d be best if I didn’t come home for the time being, they wouldn’t tell me why so I assume it’s something the ministry is enforcing and they don’t want to subject me to that. So I’m staying in Grimmauld Place with the Order for now and given the current circumstances it could be worse, only Lupin is in at the moment, everyone else is on various missions for the Order. It’s peaceful we don’t really talk much but it’s nice to have company.

I turn on the radio, listening to the rogue programme and listening to see if I recognised any of the names of the people who had sadly lost their life or been captured. One name stuck out to me “Lucas Everhart” a wizard that was missing, I racked my brain and realised why I knew it. He was my next door neighbour’s youngest son, half blood but his mother was a muggle born, he was only 5 years old. How sick must Voldemort be to be capturing innocent kids, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised given he tried to kill Harry when he was only a baby but I just don’t understand how someone could be so cruel, so heartless. I couldn’t help it then as the tears started falling down my cheeks. When would this end? When would people stop getting hurt because of one horrible wizard? When would I be able to see my family again?

Lupin walked into the kitchen then “I swear if that painting of Mrs Black doesn’t stop screaming at any slight noise I’m going to go mad” he said laughing. Then he turned to look at me and I quickly wiped my eyes but it was too late he’d already noticed. “What’s wrong love?” He said softly.

“Nothing really but just well everything, I don’t think I’ve really thought too much about what was happening before or been trying not too and I was listening to the radio and the kid that lives next door to me is missing, probably captured and I just can’t ignore everything anymore. When is it all going to end Remus? Harry, Ron and Hermione are probably out there risking their lives and I just don’t know how I can help. I just feel useless” I sniff.

He sits down next to me and uses his sleeve to wipe my tears away and pulls me into a hug. “You are helping, we wouldn’t have been able to find the goblins hidden in Scotland or the group of rogue vampires in Swansea and convince them to join our side if it wasn’t for your research. You are valuable to this, yes you’re not going there and risking your life but you’re helping a lot more being here and doing this for us than getting yourself killed” He says reassuringly. “Please don’t sell yourself short, you are playing your part which is more than can be said for a lot of people and you’re only 18”.

“I guess” I sighed not convinced but I didn’t want to let on. He’s doing his best to help and I don’t want him to think being here alone with me was a chore. Back when he was defence against the dark arts teacher at Hogwarts I had a huge crush on him and that attraction has not gone away over the last years despite finding out he was a werewolf and since being around him in Grimmald place, seeing who he really was out of the classroom I can’t help but think my attraction to him has grown exponentially.

“Here love” he says “this might help you feel better it usually fixes most things” he pulls out a bar of chocolate from his jacket pocket and hands it to me. I smile and take it, opening it and breaking off a couple of pieces handing one to him too.

“I just wish I had something to distract me from everything you know. Being here, I’m just in my head all the time and thinking about everything constantly and worrying” I say popping another square into my mouth. He looks at me not saying anything for a moment.

Then he moves closer and says “I have an idea” he takes a piece of my hair that has fallen into my face and pushes it behind my ear. He glances down at my lips for a second and leans in. Before his lips touch mine he whispers “Is this okay?”. I nod quickly in response not breathing and not trusting myself to speak. Then his lips were on mine and I’d forgotten everything, the war, that I was upset, hell I couldn’t even remember my own name. All I could think about was how right this feels.

His lips danced with mine he tasted like chocolate and hope and every good feeling you could ever imagine. I know the reality of waking up after this dream is going to so sad and bleak because I have to be dreaming, nothing could feel this perfect.

After what seemed like an eternity I broke the kiss to catch my breath “What are we doing? Why? I didn’t think you..” I was going to say didn’t think you thought of me like that but I didn’t want to shatter this moment completely. I didn’t want him to reject me and the walls to come crumbling down again.

“I need a distraction too” he said and he saw my face fall as I processed that. Oh that’s all I was to him, a distraction. He smiled and carried on “Ever since I saw you a few months ago here and have seen what a fiercely brave, beautiful and strong young woman you’ve grown into I haven’t been able to take my eyes of you. You show the true meaning of what it is to be a Gryffindor, despite all the hardships you and your family are being put through you’re still fighting and you keep everyone else’s spirits high while you’re doing it too. That’s the real reason I’m here, I don’t need to be, my house is a perfectly good base for the work I’m doing but I’ve been feeling down the last few weeks too and all I could think the whole time was just that being around you might make everything just that much more bearable. What I’m trying to say y/n is that I think I’m in love with you.”

I looked into his eyes for a moment, he meant it he really meant it. At that moment I pinched myself “Ow” I mutter.

He looked at me like I was crazy “what did you do that for?” he laughed.

“I had to check if I was dreaming because this is too good to be true. I love you too Remus” I said and I leaned into kiss him again, he kissed back but after a moment I pulled away and stood up. He looked up at me confused and I reached out offering my hand to him and gesturing him to take it and stand up with me. “So about that distraction you promised” he chuckled and let me lead him upstairs to my bedroom.

Stressed

Summary: You’re stressed over your upcoming exams and your boyfriend Draco helps you study.

Warnings: Mentions of sex and masturbation but no smut sorry just kissing.

I’m in the common room looking at my transfiguration book intently and hoping it might transfigure itself into an apparatus that may help me learn it all. How on earth am I supposed to remember all this information for my OWLs next week? It seems like an impossible task and when I look around I see everyone else has gone to bed and I’m alone in the common room. I sigh and put my head in my hands on top of the desk.

“You alright there love?” Draco appears next to me. It’s okay for him, he’s in the year above me and the NEWT exams finished last week.

“No, I honestly just don’t understand how anyone can learn all this. I’m definitely going to fail and then I’ll be kicked out of Hogwarts and I won’t see you anymore and you’ll start going out with Pansy Parkinson or someone and I’ll just be at home by myself and have to go out and get a muggle job in a supermarket or be a caretaker like Filch while I get to watch everyone else do magic” I wail. He chuckles and takes the book away from me while pulling me into a hug.

“One you’re not going to fail, I bet you know more than you think you do. Two even if you never existed I wouldn’t date Pansy you know that. And three even if you did need to get a job at a muggle supermarket you can bet your butt I’m gonna stop by that supermarket every damn day to see my super hot cashier girlfriend” he says as he kisses my head. “You should take a break love it’s almost midnight”

“I…” I start and before I can carry on he captures my mouth with his and kisses me softly, I kiss back forgetting everything for a moment. He deepens the kiss “Draco” I start to say but he uses that opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and for a while I let myself get distracted by his intoxicating presence and sink further into the kiss.

After a while the thought of me in an exam hall looking at my test paper blankly while everyone around me is furiously writing pops into my head and I break the kiss in a panic. “Drake” I say breathlessly. He makes a disgruntled noise and I look at him “Sorry it’s not that I don’t want to, I really do. You don’t know how much I miss your touch. I’m just really stressed right now, I can’t shake this anxiety. Next week exams will be over and then I promise you will have my full attention”

“Don’t apologise silly, I’m sorry for practically jumping you it’s just with my exams and now yours we just haven’t had any alone time recently and I really miss you too. It doesn’t help when I’m not with you Crabbe and Goyle follow me around like lost puppies so I can never even take care of myself without fear they’re going to walk in at any moment. I swear they must have some kind of tracking charm put on me or something they always seem to find me” he laughs. “How about I help you study and prove to you that you know more than you think you do, then you can put the book down and take a damn break”

“I don’t…” I trail off.

“I don’t mean so we can do that” he laughs again at my worried expression. “ We can just cuddle on the sofa and listen to that radio station that you like or play some wizards chess, just until you’re ready to go to bed. I’m just worried that you’re not getting any downtime, if you don’t give yourself a break your head is going to explode y/n”

“Okay fine, but if I don’t know anything I’m studying till I pass out at this desk” I agree reluctantly.

He chuckles “Okay deal” he says confidently.

We studied for another hour and surprisingly I understood and could answer Draco’s questions relatively easy. “Okay and name three of the most important factors that are needed to be taken in to consideration when casting a transfiguration spell” he asks.

“Oh I know this one easy. Body weight, viscousness and wand power” I say and breathe a sigh of relief. I did know more than I thought I did, Draco was right. I felt a lot more relaxed now.

“And that’s about as complicated as the OWL questions get, trust me you’ll ace them. Just wait until you get to your NEWT exams, then you’ll laugh at your past self for being worried about your OWLs, you’ll think back fondly and wish that everything was as simple as last year” He says looking wistfully off into the distance, a slight look of worry in his eye.

“Oh Draco you’ll have aced your exams don’t worry about that. Aren’t you like second top of the year for your results?” I say trying to reassure him.

“Way to remind me I’m second to Granger” he rolls his eyes. “Anyway since we’ve determined you’re a genius and are going to get Os in all of your exams aren’t you going to hold up your end of the bargain and finally take a break. What do you want to do? We could…” I interrupt him by straddling him and looking into his eyes “Feeling less anxious now I gather” he says looking at me hopefully.

“Draco Honey, my OWLs aren’t the only thing I feel like getting an O in right now” I say before I press my mouth to his.

Menstruation Deliberation

This is my first tumblr post so please be kind but any constructive criticism is welcome. I have been writing stories for myself for many years but decided I wanted to start sharing them so here’s my first one.

Warnings: Talk of periods/menstruation which in my opinion shouldn’t need a warning but here you are just incase.

Summary: You are a Slytherin in 6th year and get your period in potions class but have nothing with you and have no choice but to talk to professor snape about it.

I watched as I stirred my potion and watched the cauldron bubble as it brewed. I pray this stomach ache that I’ve had all morning goes away soon, I wonder if the chicken I ate at dinner last night is to blame. I have a feeling that this potion is going to go horribly wrong as I can barely concentrate on what I’m doing with it. Oh well at least I’m in Slytherin so Snape won’t bother taking away any house points, everyone knows he’s extremely biased towards us anyway.

That’s when I felt it, I realised now the stomach ache I had is not because of the chicken. “No, no, no,” I mutter.

“Something wrong y/n” Draco Malfoy asked from the next desk over.

“No it’s okay, I just thought I stirred the potion clockwise instead of anti-clockwise but turns out I was right after all” I lied. He seemed to buy that answer as he turned back to look at his own potion with a nod.

Okay y/n don’t panic I thought to myself. But who am I kidding I’m definitely panicking, I wasn’t expecting it until Saturday and I haven’t had a chance to get any supplies from Hogsmeade like I usually do I was planning on doing that tomorrow.

Okay it’s fine I’ll just go to Snape and feign like I’m about to throw up or something and he’ll send me to Madam Pomfrey, I’m sure she’ll have something I can use until I can get my usual tampons tomorrow. Oh wait what was it Dumbledore was saying at lunch, Madam Pomfrey is out until tomorrow at St Mungo’s on a course about potions to reduce the effects of mandrake poisoning. Oh no, I thought as I also remember what else he said “Any issues in the meantime please visit professor Snape in the potions classroom where he will be able to assist you the best he can”.

Crap, this means I’m gonna have to one tell Snape I’m on my period and two also ask him for tampons for dealing with said period. Oh lord I’m never going to be able to look my head of house in the eye again.

I get up from my seat and slowly start making my way to the desk. I may as well get this over with it’s only going to get worse if I wait and I’d rather everyone not find out by me bleeding through my skirt especially not someone like Draco Malfoy. He’d surely ridicule me for months about it and probably make up some awful nickname for me and be sure to say it loudly every time I walked in the common room.

As I reached Snape’s desk he looked up. “Have you finished your potion Miss y/l/n” he said calmly.

Oh crap, I’d completely forgot about my potion, I turned round and to my relief it was not overflowing or bellowing some horrible green smoke like Neville’s seemed to be over the other side of the room. “ No sir, I kind of have a little bit of an issue”

“Oh, really? And what may I ask would that be?” He asked and I was pleased to see with no trace of mockery or a sneer like he would if it was one of the Gryffindors asking or maybe it was just because he could see the look of pure panic and dread in my face as I spoke and he was afraid if he said the wrong thing I may burst into tears.

“Well sir, Professor Dumbledore mentioned earlier that we were to come to you if we needed anything that we would usually see Madam Pomfrey for” I said awkwardly not looking up.

“Yes that is correct, are you in need of medical assistance? Did you burn yourself on the potion apparatus?” He asked again sounding confused not understanding my awkwardness.

“No it’s not that Sir, it’s just I…umm I well I umm” I said wanting to bury my head in the pumpkin patch and never pull it out.

“Come on girl spit it out, if you need help I can only assist you if you tell me what the problem is” he said losing patience with my beating around the bush.

I took a deep breath and looked up, maybe if I can act confidently this won’t be as awkward as it inevitably will be I try to kid myself. “Well you see Sir, I just started my period and…”

He interrupted me then “You can be excused to the lavatory, just hurry back so you don’t miss the rest of the lesson”. He didn’t look embarrassed or awkward like most males would at the mere mention of such things , he seemed to be trying to spare me from further embarrassment by letting me go quickly. But then again it is Snape, can you ever tell what he’s feeling, he’s so straight faced all the time.

“That’s very kind of you Sir but that’s my issue and why I would have needed Madam Pomfrey. You see I haven’t had a chance to visit Hogsmeade yet and collect my supplies because it wasn’t supposed to come yet and I just…” I drifted off embarrassed by my rambling.

“Ah I see, wait here one moment” He stated as he walked away into the potion store room. I nervously moved from foot to foot as I waited for him to return and looked around to see if anyone had noticed our interaction. To my relief everyone was deep in concentration reading the instructions to the potion we were brewing. I sighed, yeah I’m definitely going to fail with this potion since I had been distracted and I hadn’t noticed how complicated the instructions obviously were since everyone seemed to be struggling I obviously skipped a few steps, even Hermione Granger had her brow furrowed in what looked like confusion.

Snape walked back in then and handed me a brown parcel. “Off you go, sort yourself out quickly. I will watch your potion while you’re gone.”

When I reached the bathroom and enter the cubicle I open the package and it’s full of a mixture of tampons and pads of different absorbencies. Once I’ve fixed myself up I breath a sigh of relief that I’ve narrowly missed public humiliation in front of my class but can’t help wonder why Snape was so calm and why on earth did he have all this in his store cupboard?

I get back to class and slide back into my seat, it looks like no one noticed my absence and I subtly slipped the brown package into my school bag and look again at the potion instructions as Draco turns around and asks “Hey, where did you go? Do you know what the hell the last line of this potion means?”

He had pointed to the line that said “once stirred add the ingredient that is most vital to all life”

“She was running an errand for me, and yes of course she does since she’s managed to brew the potion perfectly” Snape said as he approached our desk and gave me a knowing look, not quite a smile but as close to a smile as you could possible get from Snape I expect.

Snape gestured for me to look down at my copy of advanced potion making and I could see written very faintly in seemingly magical ink that if you didn’t know was there you wouldn’t even look at the page twice “this idiot was most melodramatic, he just means water, add water. I took the liberty of doing that for you while you were occupied”. The writing then disappeared I looked up at Snape but he had already walked over to the Gryffindor side of the room and was taking 10 points off Ron Weasley and I couldn’t help but chuckle.

As the lesson drew to a close and everyone packed their bags and stood up to leave I hear “Miss Y/L/N could I see you before you leave please?”.

“Oh damn what did you do? Good luck” sniggered Draco as he left the classroom.

I approached the desk warily as Snape said “Do you have everything you need? I can provide some pain remedy if you are experiencing any cramps. I would have asked before but I thought it’d be best to let you get yourself cleaned up first”. It’s like the embarrassment of having to ask Snape had distracted me completely from the dull ache in my stomach but now he’s reminded me so it’s come back with a vengeance and I wince.

“Something to help with the pain would be great, thank you professor. Can I ask how you’re so chill about this? Most men would be weirded out and would have tried to push me out the door as soon as they could.” I say and then realise I probably should have just stopped at saying yes to the pain potion.

Snape chuckled which was such an odd sound to come out of my head of house’s mouth that I almost thought for a second I was imagining it. “ I’m so “chill” as you put it because I’ve been working as teacher for 15 years now, do you think it’s the first encounter I’ve had with a student who has been caught short at such a time? It’s my duty as a head of house to ensure the members of my house are properly cared for while they are boarding at Hogwarts. If I were to ignore the needs of female students or make them feel ashamed in any way for a natural bodily function then I would not be doing my job effectively and would not be worthy of my job title. Also you will find that although those your age who happen to be members of the male gender may be repelled by the idea of menstruation and act immaturely in relation to the subject, as they age they will slowly learn that it is a normal part of life and it should no longer bother them”.

“Oh…” I didn’t know what to say now, I didn’t know Snape actually had a decent side to him. “Thank you for helping me with my potion by the way”.

“I feel like it’s the least I could do considering the suffering you’re currently enduring. Like I said I make sure the students of my house are fully cared for just don’t expect me to do it again, we wouldn’t want you falling behind or people thinking I favoured you now would we. Now here is a potion to help with the pain, if you need any more you know where to find me” then he smiled, like a real actual smile.

At that moment Ernie Macmillan walked into the room with a pretty nasty wound to his right leg. “I got too close to the whomping willow during care of magical creatures sir”

“If you’ll excuse me Miss y/l/n I must see to Mr Macmillan here” he said as he pulled some essence of dittany out of his desk drawer and walked over to where Ernie was hobbling into the classroom with Justin Finch-Fletchley failing to hold him up.

I walked out the classroom and down the corridor toward the girls bathroom ready to take a nice hot bath and hopefully ease the cramps. I couldn’t help think about what Snape had said “wouldn’t want you falling behind or people thinking I favoured you now would we,”. He couldn’t have meant that he did favour me surely? That would be ridiculous, but I couldn’t help wondering well hoping really that’s what he did mean. God damn it I can’t be getting a crush on Snape can I? No that would be absurd. I shake my head, no it’s just the period hormones I think they’re making me crazy.

A crush on Snape would be absolutely preposterous.
