[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Oh boy. He stood his ground despite it being very uncomfortable with her being so close. His face remained stone cold, even as his brain began to whirl with different possibilities. She was somewhat on the mark, though he was very angry at the insinuation his mother was anything but fantastic. And of course the whole tall, dark, mysterious guy swooping in. It was actually Lucius who had swooped in and told him that essentially, told him about the Dark Lord. Things like that. So tall, yeah, but was Lucius dark? Hell, he wasn’t sure if Lucius could kill a guy. He was like a caged ferret who begged for food every once and awhile and never acted out in case he’d get slapped back.
“Don’t pretend like you know anything about my life. Currently? I’m working for Dumbledore himself.” He pulled up his sleeve revealing his mark on his arm. “This mark. This mark is the sign that I’ve gotten Voldemort himself to trust me. Do you really believe that Dumbledore would let me around students if he thought I was actually loyal to him?” Bluffing for the win!

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He smiled a bit and looked to her, his dark eyes almost sparkling. Oh, wait, that was because there were tears that were threatening to fall. He held a hand up to his chest and quickly closed his eyes, blinking away the tears and enjoying the darkness it brought even if just for a moment. This was his second chance. After fucking up so badly. Perhaps they deserved each other, both fuckups in their own right. No, she was still way better than he could ever be.
“The only thing I need to know from you now is… Do you love me?” Because in the end, that was what mattered. That’s all that mattered when he talked to Lily as well. Well, it actually more mattered if he loved her. Because he would do anything for both these girls. He knew Lily for much longer than he had Rose, but… he was afraid he had blown up that bridge with Lily.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He bit his lower lip and looked away for a moment, standing up and leaning against the table next to her, body facing away from the table. “You have every right to state what you want. It isn’t a kindness to be offered to speak your mind.” He shook his head and sighed, looking towards the wall for a moment.
“I won’t lie, it hurt. A lot.” But then again, who out there is willing to give you a chance? He didn’t want to feel hurt like this again though. Could he trust her to not do it again? “We would need ground rules. We will never lie to one another. If we cannot say the truth, then you’ll say that you can’t talk about it. But never lie.” That wouldn’t be hard for him to do. However… he needed to add a little bit to that. “When I say lie, I don’t mean just blatant lies, something untrue. If you say something hoping for me to believe what is untrue, then that too is a lie. The same would go for me. Every rule we have would go both ways… And we can ask for any rule. I would hope we needn’t many, but… at least for now, until… I know for sure… that we can… and that this won’t happen again… I know you would never mean to do it again, but it still can because the world is cruel…”
He paused. Rambling. He needed to stop talking and think about what he wanted to say. “What I’m trying to say is these are just rules to protect both us until we can learn from each other a bit, and become more connected after this… shitstorm that happened.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus stared as she sat down, not just because he was happy that she showed, but also because hot damn. Was she trying to get him in the sack again? Boy, this was going to be interesting. Sev set his sandwich down and took a sip of his tea. He cleared his throat and opened his mouth to speak, but words didn’t seem to want to fall from his lips, at least for a moment. When he finally gathered himself up, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.
“What do you want? With us. Before I go and do anything, I want to know what you want. Do you want to be friends? Lovers? Friends with Benefits? Acquaintances?” In a way, he was asking this so he had the control, because he needed to have control over things in his life. He wanted to be able to control this thing, and he knew it was unfair to her. To take the control away. But his eyes were pleading as if asking her to give him control over this one decision between them.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus raised a hand without even looking towards her. “Does it look like I need help?” He turned, dropping his hand and regarded the woman. Older. Probably old enough to be his mother. For a moment he wondered if she went to school with his mum. No, his mum had been probably about ten years older than this lady. Too bad. His name would have no weight with her. However, she could be a parent of one of his students. He wasn’t sure. He memorized his students’ names, not their parents. He rather not deal with the parents.
“Of course, if I did need help I would likely ask someone who doesn’t have quite that dumb of a look on their face. Are you sure you’re not the one who need help?” He raised an eyebrow, swishing his robes behind him. Mostly because they were in the way for him to put his hands on his hips like he did just afterwards. “It’s a dangerous world right now, you should be more careful who you speak to, they just… slip and ‘accidentally’ hurt you.” Now that wasn’t a threat. But it was. Boy, Sev, you’re obviously either very brave or very dumb.

Felix Felicis. Did he not understand exactly how that worked? Sure, you could have ‘perfect’ days, but it was highly controlled, dangerous, and addictive. Not to mention it took a master to brew it. He only knew of one person that wasn’t him who could brew it. And that was Slughorn.
“I did not realize you had such a sense of humor.” He narrowed his eyes, his voice emotionless, cold, and low. “Why on earth would you wish to brew a highly controlled and dangerous potion? Let alone ask the assistant instead of the master.” Severus pulled a small bottle out of his blazer, the molten gold gleaming in the little light there was around. “It would be a shame if I told you and you got yourself killed. I’m sure Dumbledore would fire me if that happened.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Sure, there were rumors he was a Death Eater. Hell, he even had a dark mark. However, the ministry couldn’t get him on anything, seeing as they had no proof that he did something wrong. It was one of those things this new Minister had instated, after Malfoy had paid them off for it. Even still, Dumbledore had vouched for him, even though he wasn’t working for Dumbledore at all. That old fool. Then again, somehow, he thought it was fine for a Death Eater to teach potions, so that should be obvious. Voldemort had told him to take the job as a spy against Dumbledore, so he could be near him. Perhaps even gain some favor with the man. Either way, Severus Snape had not yet killed a person nor was he linked to any crime.
He could very easily walk into the Ministry, and while he would get looks, he wouldn’t be attacked by a hoard of Aurors. However, Severus Snape had no memorized the layout of the Ministry, hell he hadn’t ever been there before. He had been told where the visitor’s entrance was and how to get into the Ministry, but after the booth had landed, he was in a crowd of people, completely and totally lost. However, he didn’t let himself look that way. He walked with confidence. Proud, Severus didn’t want to ask for directions from the front counter and so he could be found staring at a complicated map his hand on his chin, and his other hand pointing at different areas.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Being lost in your own head was never a good thing. Especially when everyone around you was telling you to do something you weren’t sure about. Then again, if everyone tells you no, and you still want to do it, then you likely have found out that you really do want to do it, even if it goes against all logic. There was a lot going on in the mind of Severus Snape. He had many duties to perform for the Dark Lord, including the scary possibility he had said he would betray the Dark Lord if someone he loved was threatened. To be fair, he had even surprised himself when he said that. But whether or not this went a certain way, he was pretty sure she would always fall into that category. Just like Lily.
Severus made his way into he room he had rented out from the muggle owners and paced a bit. He was a little early, but that was possibly because of his nerves. Even now he wasn’t completely sure what he wanted. This week had been… interesting. He had sorted through his feelings, though he had mostly been alone. He still had talked to people he considered to have good judgement – and he even had gone to St. Mungo’s after he fended off three Order members, and barely escaped. He finally sat down and ordered himself his favorite sandwich – ham and cheese. Simple, but he preferred things simple, as opposed to emotions. Emotions were dumb and complicated.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus Snape was simply someone who was learning how to teach these dunderheaded students. Perhaps in a couple years he would actually be a professor, but currently he was wondering why in the world he accepted this position. Right. Because the Dark Lord asked him to, and Dumbledore offered him literally everything he wanted from the job, including a very nice pay. Was it worth it though? To have to deal with all these kids swarming around and acting like complete fools? He wasn’t quite sure about that yet.
A sixth year, whom he recognized from the common room from his years prior as a student, began to talk to him, saying he had a question. His dark eyes narrowed on the young boy. Sixth year, Willow Fey. It had been his goal to memorize the name of every one of his students. It wasn’t hard to learn the names of Slytherins seeing as he was a student just last year. Hufflepuffs were difficult since he never really thought anything of them before. However, it was still his goal to know about every student he would come upon.
“I may not be a full professor but you will treat me as such. You will refer to me as Professor Snape and sir.” It was one of the things Slughorn had already told him. He couldn’t be friends with the students. He had to demand respect, and while he could have those he prefers over others, he couldn’t let it go past a professional relationship. Even these kids who he had been friends with in prior years, he had to keep at a professional distance. It wasn’t hard to do that with Regulus who no longer wanted anything with him, though he was still working on it with others whom he had considered at least acquaintances. “Don’t waste my time, ask your question, Mr. Fey.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] @shava [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus nodded, though he hated it. Money corrupted them. Money was the root cause of all this. Money was the cause of his father being an asshole too. If he trapped his mother and made her subservient, then he could be the breadwinner. No, that was going a bit too far, there was obviously more to his father’s evil. “I know that Malfoy is working on that part of it. He’s got himself several politicians in his pockets.”
He had to admit, Regulus was right, the big families needed to be on board. All of them. The big 28. It would do well to even have some blood traitor families on board, though those would be much harder. And much more unlikely to ever be able to convince. “Unfortunately I think that’s true.” People like him didn’t matter. His family wasn’t well known, or well thought of really. Even if his mother’s family was well thought of, he had his muggle father’s name. It served to him as a constant reminder of his father, to keep his name instead of changing it. Sure, he still called himself the Half-Blood Prince, but very few people knew of that title.
“True. You do have a more… important job right now, before getting to fry the bigger fish. You’ll groom people to perform your own job in the future, and so on, so forth.” Much like he had to do while he was still had school. “Next year. Next year you’ll understand and have to perform much like I do. Though likely not exactly the same. My talents are far different than your talents too.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He took her hand and squeezed it a bit. He looked down for a moment. That… made sense. There were still many other possibilities and how could he trust that she was indeed telling the truth? He pursed his lips and his other hand reached out squeezing her hand again with both hands this time. He lifted her hand up and kissed the back of it. “Okay.” His voice was tight and he nodded slightly.
Blinking a bit, he removed one of his hands, but keeping his other hand holding it a bit tightly. “In one week, we meet back here. I don’t… know what I want, Rose. I know I don’t want you out of my life. I don’t know if I want a romantic relationship. I don’t know if I want a platonic relationship. I don’t know if I want what we had before.”
Regulus was his friend, and he had chosen to cut him out of his life, Severus was willing to work with him, but it was Regulus’s choice. That meant he was alone again, no friends to be with. Sure, there were Death Eaters, and he viewed Lucius as a friend, but more of a mentor. No matter what, he didn’t want to lose her too. He didn’t want to truly be alone. He wouldn’t cut her out of his life… at least he didn’t want to.
“I’m… glad that… you at least realized it. I would never want you to be in a relationship you weren’t comfortable with… No matter what, you can tell me anything. I might not… agree with you. I might not support your choices, but… I will never be angry at you for telling me something. Angry at the world, angry at the circumstances… but never at you.” He pursed his lips and shook his head for a moment. “No matter what we have after this, I want you to feel safe around me.”
