[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Cokesworth. A little place Severus liked to go sometimes with his mother when he was little. The Waterway Morning. It was a little brunch place, and he had asked the owners to use the party room, which was completely separate from the rest of the place – a perfect place to meet up without people wondering what the hell they were doing. When he arrived in the party room, he turned on the lights and sat at the long table at the very end. He waved his wand, casting a few spells to make sure they weren’t overheard.
He knew Rose was going to be late – or well, he expected it. He wanted that even. He wanted to speak to Regulus man to man about all of this, get his side of everything. He had a feeling there was something Rose wasn’t telling him, and so he wanted to know everything. Ordering a sandwich for lunch, Severus sat back and waited, his sandwich delivered. He checked his watch. Yes, he was obviously fairly early, so he could set up. And so, he could think about how he would even breach this subject.
Regulus was a good friend and he didn’t want to lose him over any of this, but he couldn’t help but be worried. Even Rose seemed to be thinking about things, even said he could be very particular. If he was afraid of doing something, he shouldn’t be doing it in the first place, at least in Sev’s opinion. He would attempt to keep this unbiased – because while he was pretty sure he was in love with Rose, he wanted her to be happy, and he knew she could never be happy with him.

Not familiar with the area, he had a bit of trouble finding out where the place was. Fortunately he went early which meant he could wander a bit. Asking several passerby had gotten a big thumbs up from most about his going there however so his stomach was anticipating quite a bit! At his age that was a big deal as taking in copious amounts of food was still on the plate. When he found it and walked in he didn't see anything at first that made him think wizards.
Asking for the back room worked well enough and he was led through the place pretty directly to what they called the party room.
When he stepped in he saw Serverus already with a sandwich which perked his interest. He had gotten here very early then but to what purpose? His smile dropped a tiny fraction as he was thinking suddenly this might not be just a friendly meeting. Coming over to the table he took a chair saying "I've never been here before. What's their specialty or what have you tried before?" He took the menu and looked at stuff but his mind was busy thinking about what the setup was about.
Was this DE business over lunch? Now he felt nervous.
Ordering something more substantial then a sandwich, he drank a sip of the water they brought first and as they exited to go get his food he gave his friend the eye. "So this feels more serious then casual conversation and catching up, Serverus, as that could have been in a cafe or on the street. What is up?" He still didn't think Serverus was after him in a bad way, but this situation was making him feel on edge.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus watched as Regulus entered the room. “Well their soup is delicious, but their sandwiches, you can get anything you want on it and they’ll make it for you – provided its on the ingredients list of course.” He sighed, his body relaxing slightly and looked down at his lap, twiddling his thumbs.
“I – I need help.” Just saying that sounded like something gross. He spat the words out as if it were peanuts to someone who would die if they ate peanuts. He quickly covered his have, his fingers reaching his hair and threading through it. There was so much he needed to talk to Regulus about, but since Rose wasn’t here yet, he could get out what he wanted to get out in private first.
“I think I’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t Lily Evans.” His heart was pumping in his chest, feeling very anxious about admitting this. Especially since his friend would soon realize who he was talking about – at least when Rose showed up at least it would seem obvious – or so he thought. “But the girl I fell for is already with someone. You see, we started up a relationship – where I insisted, we wouldn’t let feelings get in the way, but they obviously grew inside of me. She’s even said she loves me back.” So far it didn’t sound like a problem, but he wanted to make sure Regulus got the full story without reveal exactly what he was talking about.
“The problem is: she also fell in love with someone else. She’s dating him. And I know the guy, he’s a good guy. But from what I’ve heard from her, there’s some serious problems with the relationship that needs to be discussed. So, she said she’d talk to him about them. I want her to be happy, but – but I can’t help but want her for myself. What should I do, Reg?”

Sounded good so he ended up ordering a soup and large sandwich combo. He did like a good french onion which probably showed he ate out too often since his Mother would never do her own cooking. Snape was rarely frustrated, but Regulus picked up enough tension in his hands to think that was what was happening here. "Well of course, Serverus, what sort of assistance do you need? Being still in school there is not much wand work I'm allowed to do at the moment but I'll try."
After all why else would he need Reg? magic work often required more then one person when you got into the really big magics...
Both his eyebrows went up! "But-- But I thought there was no one else? That's what you have told me before..." But why would his compatriot need him for that? As far as Serverus knew Regulus had no experience with girls of any kind! But it was the next part that warmed up his ears and sent his warning sparks off in his head. Dating another? And Serverus came to him? Regulus thought fast and it was not in a good way at all!
Looking down at the table top he heard little more at that point, his mind awhirl. Another member of the DE knew about Rose and regardless of what situation he thought he had that meant either Rose has talked to him and admitted it when she had heard him say it was a secret to be held close, or Snape had been snooping. If she had been talking then her ignoring that part was a direct-- He couldn't bring himself to use the word 'betrayal' again right after their earlier conflict in which she had sworn herself to him again but he didn't understand why Snape would be spying on him either.
Unless the Dark Lord was more suspicious then he had expected!
By the time Snape stopped he was staring directly at his eyes, the straight look brooking no more secrets. "Severus. Is this about Rose." The answer was already plain in his face. "I already have discussed this with the Master himself. You should be aware you are now directly interfering with my assignments which have been approved by him. Think very carefully before you say any more as I will have to report this." He stood slamming one fist down on the table making the salt shaker jump and fall over. "HAVE too, Serverus! I am REQUIRED TO! And you are interfering out of LOVE?? With HIM??"
Regulus had no doubt of the Dark Lord's response which would be to eliminate the problem which was Rose herself. He turned and cast two spells on the door at once, one to frustrate entry for a moment and keep this conversation private a moment later, the other a much darker spell to cause people to forget where the door was. That would give them a moment more.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He crossed his arms. Suddenly he was being yelled and Severus blinked several times. How did he figure it out so fast? He pursed his lips, but he showed no outward sign of being shaken. Required? He narrowed his eyes. Taking a bite of his sandwich he remained completely calm and casual. When he finally spoke, he gave Regulus a small smile and shook his head.
“You don’t seem to understand me, Regulus. I would betray the Dark Lord in a heartbeat if he threatened those I love. But I know I’m of more use to him than killing one of them would be to the war effort, so he would accept it, and spare their lives if they were originally in danger. I have confidence in the Dark Lord to respect my feelings as we’re all fighting for the same goal: a world where we can be free.”
Honestly, he was wondering if this was really the truth – was Regulus this cruel? This cowardly? He never expected to look upon his friend with such disgust right now. He stood up and pulled out his wand, then pulling up his sleeve to reveal the dark mark. “I’ll cut this off right now. My entire arm if I have to.” He was always one for theatrics and bringing things to an extreme. “I only need one arm to fight against anyone who were to try to come for me. I will fight and kill you if you’re really using her like you say you are. You should’ve seen how she talked about you. It made my stomach turn. She’s really in love with you and you’re using her? How fucking dare you.”
His face turned into a grimace, his voice turning low and into a growl. “I will kill you where you stand for doing this to someone I love. Now are you going to tell me the truth, or will I have to force it out of you? I did get my hands on a very useful potion.” He returned his wand to his right sleeve, the mark still showing on his left arm, pulling out a clear bottle with his right from his blazer. “I would hate to have to use it on you, Regulus. You are my friend.”

Regulus did not miss his friend refused to answer about Lilly. In fact to him that was suddenly the crux of the entire situation. He was still in love and unable to replace her so he was trying to force another to give in. Did he think that was the way of love? If so, his friend knew far less about real love then he thought. This colored most of the rest of Snape's words rendering them worthless. "So, you give up that easily? No wonder Lilly left." Regulus plan of obliviating memories had removed all that the Dark Lord or Snape could use against him which Rose was aware of. In fact he knew things were slightly off, but until he looked at the memories he had stashed down on paper he would not be able to betray anyone.
There was no fear or untruthfulness in any of the words that followed this.
He regarded his friend with knowledgeable eyes, but knew better then to argue against fanatics with no real vision of the problem. "You would distrust me based on another's word? Our years in school when you were far ahead of me? Well, that says the value you place on our friendship indeed, something I will remember from here on out. You are lacking much information, but that is hardly surprising. I am young, Serverus, he roots through my memories for the truth every time I report to him such as last night. Do you think there is anything about my side of this he has not seen and judged? He knows all of it, every inch, but I will not tell you one single damn thing because you are clearly being used." Truth as far as he knew in this moment. Snape was infatuated.
"Let's start with facts, Serverus. I know you studied legilimens. You showed me what you were studying in the common room. It's in my mind and he has read my memories to check my loyalty several times. That's one. Since when did you start being infatuated with her? The Dark Lord has had me getting her to set up plans for her to work with me during the school year for a month now. She was the one who initiated romance, early on in that process surprising me greatly. And funny that, she has not mentioned you a single time, not even as a friend or a contact which I asked her for. I offered her the cutting off of my arm a week ago at least, you are behind quite a bit so far. That's two and three." He had no fear in any way of a truth serum he assumed the other had. This showed in his face as he put his wand away and held his hands out to his sides. "You question my morals, my personal feelings for her? I have been providing her with protection, control over her wolf phase, and several things to help her function right after that transformation. I will not give you a smidgen of personal information not even my d!ck size which you are in no way entitled to, but I have told her everything including that I had to report to him about her. She and my Master know apparently a lot you know little of. Whose being played by whom? I have no power to hide my mind, Severus. Why should I? Only from you because you demand it with no right to at all. That's four." No wonder Lilly had been turned off by his comrades trustworthiness. He was like a viper just waiting for the right time. Rose had messed up badly in this trust.
Regulus' eyes showed nothing now but pity for his friend that he had been led on so at the same time he felt a fire inside him for her betrayal, that she had told secrets like this! No, Rose has played this one and on Snape's part he felt a growing anger as well. "Hmm. Who did she ask to be there after her change? Who held her and fed her back to health? Cared for her wounds? Who did she trust with this most intimate moment when she could have been easily killed or betrayed? Myself only, Severus. And you say you love her? She does not apparently value your relationship the same way it seems. Ask her about that part why don't you? Odd she did not voluntarily expose that moment when she swore I was her one and only and her Alpha. Fact Five? Ah, there are so many more to go."
That memory was still true, but the parts just before and after were gone on purpose. It had been too precious to forget despite the risk.
Another shake of his head. "No Snape, I will not offer you my personal life I have shared it enough between her and the Dark Lord. You say he would protect her, but during my reports I heard him considering her as quite disposable should there be a problem, much as he has hinted at with my parents who you think I favor more then her. You know less then nothing. I already had something in place and well situated with my Master, but by doing this today you have destroyed most of that long planning and my trust. Love? You know little of it I believe and I will not be your teacher. You need two women lost in your life? Fine, give me your 'potion' and I will repeat all this again without a change, but be aware by doing so you have destroyed far more then just trust! In fact, I will share one moment with you, Serverus, just to show how badly you have judged and been falsely played. Here, point your wand, see for yourself how little doubt I have of her."
Regulus brought the memory to the fore, offering it freely with his eyes closed. There was care nakedly shown, proof he went far beyond her physical to care about changing her beliefs in how she looked. There was no better memory showing love then the care for her future and her realization of it in her return...

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] His eyes were suddenly full of rage. He was using Lily against him? However, quickly it subsided, being shoved back down with everything else. He sat, taking off the cap from the bottle, throwing his head back and drinking the liquid. “It was water.” He had been bluffing when he threatened using the potion against him. He knew well enough Veritaserum had its counters and if one knew it was coming one could resist it.
“You clearly have no idea why I called you here today. It wasn’t to break the two of you up. It wasn’t to take her for my own,” He shook his head, his dark eyes staring right at Regulus. “From my understanding, Rose and I started our own sort of relationship about a week before she started anything up with you. Before you even really knew her.” It stung – very much so that she didn’t want him to be there for her. It stung that she didn’t mention him when Regulus asked about friends, or someone to contact. It stung that she thought so little of him and yet just earlier this week she said she loved him. Kissed him, hugged him, comforted him. She was there for him, and yet she thought so little of him before, how could she have even thought that she was telling the truth. She had to have lied to him. But that’s how it always went for him, didn’t it? He fell for someone and they loved another. She was leading him on.
He set his wand to the side, refusing to look into his mind. One, he was scared that all this was true, and that he had been played completely. If he had been played, couldn’t Regulus have been played as well? But he doubted it. “Rose and I met at the Three Broomsticks, where I had my first mission, which the Dark Lord assigned to me himself. She assisted me in my mission and we ended up… sleeping together. We came to the understanding that we would be there for each other, to comfort one another when one needed it. However, after that I was forced to go to America on another mission which would help keep the Americans out of this war as they would have to deal with things with their own people. That trip took a while, seeing as I was unable to use magical means, as per the Dark Lord’s orders. There needed to be no record of my trip, else the MACUSA would realize it was us who had started things there.”
He took in an even breath, his voice not wavering, not conveying any sort of emotion, other than the occasional twinge of anger. His stomach was doing turns, he felt sick. This whole situation was screwed up, and he wasn’t sure exactly how to solve it. But he had an idea of what could solve this completely, and it was him stepping away from the two of them forever. The selfish part of him was cursing him for such a thing. “Earlier this week, after my return from America, I called her to me, and she came. She never offered up your relationship without being prompted to do so. After bringing her to my place, I asked what had happened while I had been gone, seeing as she looked very well cared for. She told me about your relationship and I attempted to walk out on everything. Leave her alone forever, let her be with you. But she insisted and followed me. She told me she loved me. I opened my heart up to her. And then she started telling me about your relationship.”
He took a drink of his water, as this was quite a bit of talking and he was trying to continue to stay completely neutral about all of it. He looked at his reflection in the glass. “Red flag after another, she told me a bit about your relationship and I became worried. I expressed those worries and then we agreed to meet here so I could get the full story. Why she isn’t here yet, eludes me. She was afraid to ask you herself, saying you were ‘particular’ about things like this. You made her afraid to even ask you to meet her here yourself.”
Pulling his sleeve down he soon templed his fingers in front of him, looking deep in thought. It was as if she had been waiting for him during that mission. Yet the Dark Lord and Regulus planned this before then? Could this all be a ploy to see how they would react? Paranoia ran rampant in his mind. “I wanted to see if you would treat her right, and the first words out of your mouth were how you were using her. Because you were my friend, I was going to give you a chance to explain yourself.”
“No matter how much I hate Potter, I know he would provide for Lily anything she needed. I was able to see them together, and no matter how much it sickened me, she was happy. I could see the look in his eyes when he looked at her.” He spat out those last words, hating every second of it. But he was being honest about it, even though he hated Potter and his stupid little friends. He hated their idiotic little laughs when they’d turn him upside down, when they’d bully him. When they would attack him without provocation. But regardless of his shitty personality, he treated her right. And that was what he cared most about. She was happy and treated right. “The Dark Lord has no place in this discussion. I would rather you not continually bring him up. I am not questioning your loyalty to him. I am questioning your loyalty to Rose.”
Perhaps it wasn’t the Dark Lord who planned it out. Maybe Rose had planned this out with Dumbledore – to try to manipulate them into joining him instead. There were so many different possibilities. “I want to know if she will be treated right. I want to know that you won’t control everything she does. I want to know she won’t be dependent on you or your money. I want to know that she won’t be trapped. I want to know that you love her. If you do that, I will leave this room and you will never hear from me again – neither will she. I will wish you luck and go on with my life. All I want from this is for her to be happy. What would you do if your parents attempt to force you to marry another pureblood? What would you do if the Dark Lord ordered you to kill her? I want to know you will protect her with your life. I want to know your loyalty and love for her transcends all other responsibilities and loyalties to others.”

She had lied.
She had lied by omission. Then she had lied to him about love by continuing a relationship to another. And when he had gotten her to promise to always talk to him directly (after opening up and trying to help her heal herself even). And then again, after he told her he had to be careful how the DE got the story, she had gotten one of his older friends to confront him about what she was scared to (which she had already promised not to do) and had him convinced enough to threaten him. He was not her Alpha and never was. She had not wanted his kids because she did not even respect him.
Well.
Snape rambled on, but Regulus stood there and felt the betrayal sink in, seeing that the woman was poison for both of them. Severus was infatuated with Rose and Regulus now saw that the ways of sex were a trap, that women were too dangerous to be around. Lesson learned. His frown became deeper. Snape then told him he would go away if Regulus would promise him stuff. And in that he saw something of value she had taught him amidst all the other stuff she had not meant it seemed.
"You have been played, Serverus. And up to now I believed her though everything you tell me now says it was lies. Too bad you never had the nerve to look at that memory because it would show you what an actress she is. Have her, since you believe in her words over my own despite our background. The Dark Lord you don't like hearing about knows already about her and that can not be changed, but you have destroyed me and the first spark of goodness in my life. I can not forgive that. I will not speak with you again unless my Master orders it. As to these demands you have which I still say you have no right to make in any form, fuck you. I am done with both of you betrayers. I gave her everything and you have taken it all away."
He walked to the door, removing the spells with a wave as he put the wand away and exited, not listening to whatever happened behind him. He had memories he had cherished and wanted to save from the Dark Lord to obliviate but as he reached the door of the restaurant he saw her and stopped. "I was never your Alpha, though I tried with all my hear to do the best by you I could, but despite promising me your heart and trust you betrayed me and your own protections with the DE. You have killed me, Rose, with your plotting. I will never speak to you again, I can clearly not trust you with anything. I wish you the best of him, but you trust a man whose heart is sold to his Master and it will never be yours in truth. I am heartily sorry I tried to make your life better, that I tried to help you when you asked. How could you ask for my children when you didn't even respect me enough to hold to a promise?"
Regulus shook his head and walked around the corner appirating away as soon as he was out of sight. Arriving outside the Hogsmeade place he walked into the downstairs where the man looked up in time to see a flash of green light. "Avada Kedavra!" and the body fell over the look of surprise still on his face. Before she had time to escape he caught the man's wife in the doorway with another "Avada Kedavra!" There. Tracks covered. Regulus looked at the paper cabinet where the records were clearly kept and transformed it and it's contents into a pebble which he picked up and walked outside seeing no one near.
He appirated away back home near the cafe and tossed the pebble into the sewer opening and walked home to his house where he went upstairs to his room. Sitting on his bed, Regulus went through his notebook and ripped out the pages that were relevant, shredding them with his wand before he finished and double checked he had left no surprises behind. Finished, Regulus put his wand to his head and with the memories that were needed at the forefront of his mind said "Obliviate."
The part about Snape's betrayal and her identity he kept as a warning to himself.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She was just arriving, having hope this could all be talked out.
A fool's wish. She'd dabbled in something so much more terrible than Death Eaters.
He was leaving, and stopped, spoke to her which had her frozen stone cold to the spot.
This was talking it out? Her brain supplied.
But she had no arguments. She'd done this.
He moved past her and she looked to the back room. She slowly moved towards it, towards Snape, and knowing, knowing she'd betrayed the both of them in different ways.
"'Our secret'," he had said. "Our secrets that I, gather him information on targets that the Dark Lord wanted. He would do the dirty work, but I would gather intel. Asked me to tell no one. Asked me to tell no one that I was with him."
She bit her lip. "But you asked. I should've just let you go that day, I know. I broke a promise to keep our relationship a secret because of the Dark Lord. Because he was afraid of the Dark Lord finding him... finding us. Surely... you being his best friend..."
She stopped there.
"Seems like even trust between best friends is broken when the Dark Lord is involved."
She shook her head.
"I know I messed this up. I hurt him. By breaking an impossible to be kept promise. You asked, I wasn't going to lie about us being together. How that have been fair to you? I told you I loved you, and I cared about you because that is the truth too. You're the one who said you didn't want to keep it platonic."
Her eyes closed. "I opened up to you because I knew you were his best friend, but he didn't even trust that. Both of you are in the same boat. But I forgot there's no trust in the Death Eaters."
She turned toward the door. "He was talking about leaving the country, changing our names. A pack of four. I would never see you or my brother again."
Her jaw clenched. "When you left that restaurant, all of these things occurred to me. Yes, yes, I hurt him. But he was hurting me in the process. Yes, I trusted him.... but this was inevitable. I wouldn't be able to live like that."
"I am remorseful it's come to end like this. But in the end, you were right. I felt trapped. He was loving and sweet, but I was trapped. I was blinded by my emotions."
Her head raises once more. "And I am sorry to you as well, for bringing you into this. I... I was scared. I didn't want to be alone... I needed someone to know where I was."
SHe swallows. "So, thank you for that. Thank you for making me think. I'll... I'll go, now."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Everything was going so fast, Regulus had left – Rose was right there, and he didn’t understand why Regulus wouldn’t just answer his questions. That’s all he wanted, but he knew he breached the subject badly. He started this all out like an idiot. Was this what he wanted? He was pretty sure he didn’t want this. Even if this left Rose open for him to swoop in and take, he wasn’t sure he could trust her either. And he just lost his best friend, someone who he had known for years, but now they were going to be essentially strangers. He didn’t want to be alone. He didn’t want to be alone, but how could he trust that she would not betray him as she had Regulus? In a way, she betrayed him too, by not ever mentioning him to Regulus. By not telling him there was something there. By not thinking about him at any point during the last three weeks when he couldn’t be there. By saying to Regulus that he was the only one when that wasn’t true. How could he trust her?
“Wait.” He didn’t make any sort of movement, and his eyes were devoid of any sort of emotion. “Can we meet again? This is… too much for me to take in right now. I need to think about this. And if… you want to try, we would have to discuss… many things. If you’re willing… I just need to… think. Please.” He stared at her for a moment, buttoning up his sleeve that he had originally pulled up and then back down on his left arm.

She paused, looking at him.
"If you want. I need to pack and once I'm done, I'll.be hard to track... But give any missives to Madam Rosemerta, I'll get them eventually, so make sure to try not to set dates and times. But I'll get them. I work there more often then not."
She gives him a bare of a smile. "I know I'm not to be trusted."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He narrowed his eyes. There were so many things going through his head right now, and it was all a lot to deal with. There were so many theories circling around his head. He walked over to the door and reached out for her hand. “Then we’ll talk now.” He sat at a nearby seat and gestured to the one next to him, before quickly covering his face for several moments. Calm down. Calm down. You could be right next to a spy. You screwed this all up, and you can’t fix it. So, you might as well see what can be done.
“I won’t lie and say that this isn’t a complete shitstorm. I won’t lie and say that I’m not wary of you right now. I won’t lie and say I’m not hurt. But I also know… I watched you while we were at school, I would like to say I know you enough to know you didn’t mean for this to turn out like this. Please… give me… a week before you disappear. So, I can sort out my feelings and – come to terms with what just happened. Give me a chance. Please.”

She slowly nods, allowing him to take her hand, squeezing it gently looking extremely guilty.
"Okay. I.. honestly I should just leave. Go somewhere else, I know. But..."
She sighs heavily. "I am sorry. But I know that means shit to none."
Her eyes close. "I guess Remus was right about me."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] “I'm here for you, Rose, you know. I don't want you to be alone. Being alone with emotions is the worst.” He repeated her own words back at her. There was so much that was going through his head right now and he didn’t want to burn the bridge to her – not yet at least. He wanted to be able to have that choice. “I don’t think Remus was right about you. I – I think I understand the situation you were put in. I told you what I thought it was like before and talking with him just… told me I was right about a lot of things. He refused to tell me that he would treat you right, he said he was using you, but I know he was wrong. We didn’t make any promises. You didn’t break your word to me.”
He pursed his lips and clenched his jaw for a moment and then sighed, shaking his head. “There’s one thing that keeps bothering me. Why did you never mention me to him? He said he asked you several times if there was someone else, if there was a friend to contact or… something. Why didn’t you tell him about me?”

Her words were repeated back to her and she pursed her lips. They felt like daggers to her conscience, hot knives that furthered her guilt of everything.
She looked to him sadly, shaking her head.
"Still... what I've done..." a heavy sigh.
"I intended to tell him, Severus," she held his eyes but her voice was tight, small. "I knew I needed too, but then he started talking about how secrets needed to be between us and us only..."
She bit her lip. "I knew your affiliation... if I had told him, I think he would've reacted much the same way he did today, I bet. He wanted secrets, so I kept my own. There are so many things I thought could happen... if I had told him. He would become paranoid, like if you were using me to spy on him. I don't know..."
She swallowed. "I didn't tell him because I was protecting you. Protecting him."
Her jaw clenched. "I'm guilty of making things go this way, but, regardless of him saying I wasn't... I'm beginning to feel more and more like I was a kept pet. I was on a leash of a sort. I wasn't supposed to talk to you about him. I didn't talk to him about you."
She silences and shakes her head.
