[attr="class","manalishil"] [attr="class","manalishiltop"] [attr="class","manalishiltopp"] [attr="class","manalishiltop2"]I wish I could stop loving you [attr="class","manalishiltop3"]so that I could free myself of the pain of you not being able to love me back. [attr="class","manalishilpost"] Yeah, he was definitely feeling guilty, even if she didn’t seem to care too much – as he was sure she realized what he had almost said to her. How could he? He loved her – and yet he almost insulted her based on something she, herself, could not control. Based on something a monster had done to her. It was like – like judging his mother based on what his father did to her – not on her reaction to it (which is what Severus tended to judge her on). [break][break] “I’ll grab the needles.” [break][break] Severus thought for a moment, his face blank as the memories ran through his head. “I think our first meeting… was on the train. I had overheard Potter talking about how he wanted to be a Gryffindor, just like his father. I thought it was hilarious and scoffed at it. I believe it snowballed from that point on. He insulted me, I insulted him.” He took in a deep breath remembering how badly it had escalated – and not just with Potter. Black had been an absolute menace. He could’ve been a great Slytherin all things considered. [break][break] “Slytherin gets a bad rap because the founder apparently locked a beast away in the castle to kill muggleborns,” Severus said with an exaggerated frown and shrug. “And of course, the Dark Lord himself. There’s even a myth that all dark wizards come from Slytherin – which is by far very much not true, as I’m sure you know.” [break][break] He chuckled lightly when regarding the ‘popularity’ he had always sought but never achieved. Really, all he wanted was acceptance. He wanted to be loved. And because he never felt Lily could ever reciprocate his feelings, it wasn’t enough for him. But now here was Rose standing before him, reciprocating those feelings and more. It was plenty enough for him. This was what he craved for so long, he just didn’t realize it. “You are plenty enough. I was misguided. I thought what I wanted as popularity when it was truly that I simply wanted to be loved.” [break][break] Sighing again, he placed a hand on her cheek. “You will always be enough – far more than enough. Not a hundred, not a thousand people could ever give me the happiness you give to me. Not only are most people beneath me, but you are completely unique and extraordinary in every way.” [break][break] “I’ve always thought Danger would work as a better middle name for you. Rose Danger Lupin,” It was obviously a joke, though he told it with a completely straight face, “However, despite everything, I do hope you will watch out for yourself and avoid danger whenever possible, yes?” [break][break] She promised him. That was enough. It felt like a heavy burden had lifted off his chest – worried she would be a Gryffindor and sacrifice herself for him. But he trusted her with everything that he was, he trusted her completely and totally that if she said that the sky was green, he would believe her. If, of course, she wasn’t joking. “Then I’ll add Occlumency to our classes. We may need to meet more often to get everything done that you wish to learn from me. However, I don’t think it would be objectionable as it is.” [break][break] Ah, perfect. His distraction worked. It would at least get her off of what they were looking for – try to make her forget about it and focus more on what he was saying. It worked very well, though he was blushing, as he wasn’t joking or lying about it. It would… be interesting to see what it came up with if that was his request for it. [break][break] “Well, we can just add a few dalliances in the room in addition to our ‘random snogs’. Though, no more hiding out in my storeroom. I found a few bottles tipped over after last time…” [attr="class","manalishirnote"] [attr="class","manalishirnote1"]EXTRA NOTES [attr="class","manalishirnote2"] [attr="class","manalishirnote3"] [attr="class","manalishirnote4"] [attr="class","manalishirnote5"] N/A | [attr="class","manalishir"] [attr="class","manalishirimg2"] [attr="class","manalishirimg"] [attr="class","manalishir2"] [attr="class","redd1"]# [attr="class","manalishir4"] [attr="class","redd1"]@ |
