Chapter 3

Snape's POV

I was so angered that I screamed at her. I believed she deserved it. She was no one to tell me what I need.

I saw her crying. She tried real hard to hold it back but failed. I saw tears rolling down her cheek as she looked me in the eye. I saw agony and disappointment in her (y/e/c) eyes. She was disappointed not in me, rather with herself. I could see it all, right there in her gleaming eyes. She just wanted to help and I just yelled at her in return. The sorrow in her eyes made me feel guilty.

She wanted to say something but couldn't. I wanted to say something too. I wanted to…. apologise, at least a part of me did. She turned and starting leaving. I was expecting her to look back, she didn't.

Maybe I was too harsh.

____________________________

You laid sleepless in your bed that night, recalling the events of the day. You weren't crying any more though. "Why would I cry because of a man I barely know and a man who values no emotion?" You thought and wiped all your tears. The question bugged you. You looked out of the window. Staring into the darkness of the moonless night for how long, you had no idea. Soon your eyes began drooping and you dozed off to a dreamless sleep.

Severus, too, kept thinking of the events of the evening and began to doubt his actions. He always used to give punishments to his students, they had called him 'unfair' loads of times but it never mattered as much as it did now even though you two barely knew each other.

_________________________________

A year, almost a whole year had passed ever since you had that small 'incident' with Severus. You had moved on of course and so had Severus. You were pretty equipped by your studies most of the time and he was quite busy too, the famous Harry Potter was in his second year of Hogwarts now.

You had a couple of friends at your college and even hung out other often. You had been freed by your classes and were having a nice chat with your friend, Carl. He was sipping on his coffee as you told him about what you were gonna do the evening. He told you a few jokes and you had a great laugh together. Overall, Carl was a great friend and he had helped you keep your mind off Severus.

Laughing, you took a glance at your surroundings and then your eyes stopped. "Oh God, am I dreaming?" you muttered and caught Carl's attention. Undoubtedly it was Severus you saw. Why is it always him you found?

But this time he wasn't hiding or something, he was looking right at you. He was waiting for you to notice him and come over. For a moment, you thought it was you just daydreaming him (it wasn't the first time), you blinked rapidly in confusion and you weren't dreaming. He was there.

"(Y/N), you okay? (Y/N)?" Carl asked you and you were brought back to reality.

"Me? Yes, yes I'm fine. Will you excuse me for a moment, please?"

Carl gave you a 'yeah, sure' look with a nod and you grabbed a book with you and moved towards Severus who was waiting with his arms crossed.

Just before when you were there, face to face with him, you put the book you had in your hand in front of your face. Severus stood there in confusion.

"What are you doing?" He asked slowly and with perfect pauses to make his speech extra clear.

"Weren't you the one who asked me to 'never show you my face again?" You mocked him and silently giggled behind your book.

Severus was bewildered by this. 'Did she just forget what happened?' he thought. He couldn't believe you were still so good to him, though he found it annoying.

"Stop this! It's unnecessary."

"I'm just waiting for something to be said." You replied.

Severus took a moment to speak. He realised what you wanted and he knew you were right to ask for it, he was too mean.

With a deep sigh, he said in almost a whisper, "I'm sorry."

"Umm..are you talking to me, mister?" you replied with sass. He could have snapped at you but he closed his eyes and repeated, "I am sorry, (Y/N)"

He sounded apologetic enough, so you put the book back down and looked at him. The sound of your name from his mouth was heartwarming. His eyes slowly opening, he looked at you. You were smiling at him. How?

His head was in a puzzle. After being so cruel to you, you were still smiling at him. There was warmth in your smile. His eyebrows weren't furrowed anymore. His expression softened too and obviously, he hid perfectly but not perfectly enough for you to ignore it.

He tilted his head in confusion. And your smiled widened at his expression. You found it amusing.

"I forgive you, Severus. Though I won't really forget about it." You said teasingly. He smirked.

"Sometimes you're too much of a Hufflepuff to me." He said, he almost forgot you were a muggle and not a Hogwarts student.

"Jigglypuff? Aren't you a bit too old to be watching Pokemon?"

"What?!" He had no idea of what a Pokemon was and yet was accused of watching it.

"Oh, it's fine. I have known many men who watch cartoons."

"I do NOT watch CARTOONS!"

"Yeah, you don't." you replied sarcastically. Snape fumed at your comment and you watched him behaving so. Looking at his constant change of expressions between anger and confusion, you burst out laughing.

Snape's eyes widened in amazement. Why is she laughing?

"Oh God, your face!" You said finally getting a hold on your laugh.

"What about it?!" He asked angered.

"Oh my! Your so funny sometimes." You said looking in his eyes and your laughter converted into a gentle smile.

Severus, still angered and confused, looked back into your (y/e/c) eyes and you two stayed like that for a while. Severus's expression softened. It felt good looking at you so happy after what he had done. He was so cruel and you were so kind to him.

You broke the eye contact and asked, "What were you here for anyway?"

Severus hesitated while answering but managed to get a few words out, "I..I need a favour." His voice lowered with each word as if he was ashamed to ask for help from you. He expected you to reject it as you had no reason to favour him.

"What sort of favour?"

"I need you to, " and with a pause he continued, "help me show around some places." Even he wasn't certain if he chose the right words because it was confusing.

"Show you around?" You let out a small and uncertain laugh, "What do you mean, don't you live nearby?"

"I do..but as you may be aware, I am not around here much and I need to…..move." Move? Why would he need to move? He had his house, though it was a gloomy and depressing one.

"Why do you need to move? I thought you liked your boring house."

He eyes widened and his eyebrows furrowed. "My house isn't boring! Besides, it's only temporary. I have some, well, business to do. You won't need to worry as I am aware that you'll be free for the day."

“Have you been spying on me? Don't tell me you have!"

He rolled his eyes, "Of course not. I just know."

"But how could you?" You took a pause, as if working it out and then gasped.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You are a secret spy!" His eyes widened in shock as you continued while slowly circling around him now, inspecting him. "Yes, yes you are. The way you get dressed all black, the locality you stay in, you trying to go unnoticed. Ah, that's what you are, a spy!"

Severus was still in shock. Who could possibly imagine that! Either you were too foolish or too imaginative to create that theory.

"Stop it! Now!" You were snapped out of your fantasies. You had even begun imagining him with guns, did he have one right now, you thought.

"I. AM. NOT. A. SPY! Merlin, you and your stupid theories."

"Well, you look like one." You murmured not loud enough for him to hear which was a relief.

"I do wonder why you chose me to help you but I assume you don't have many friends, so..” His eyes flamed as you made another one of your 'assumptions'. You were both reminded of the evening you did so. You didn't forget that but you just didn't show it, you had your reasons.

"Anyway," you said trying to get away from his glare. "Where will you need to 'move'?" you mocked his voice as you said the last word.

"I'll let you know on the way."

"Wait, I'm actually going to help this man I barrel know. He's not even nice to me and I'm trusting him?" You thought and Severus watched you deep lost in your thoughts.

"We don't have all day Miss." You replied to him with a smile and gestured to move.

"And please call me (Y/N). I don't like being so formal all the time."

~~time skip~~

Your POV

I was in a cab with Severus. He didn't utter a word. I kept looking at him expectantly. I hoped he would say something or tell me about where we were going but of course, he did not. Severus Snape, a man who doesn't chat. He was a boring company, indeed, but I liked his presence. He kept starting on of the window and so did I after a matter of time. The area was somewhat familiar.

"You didn't tell me where we are going."

"You'll know soon enough." Why is he always reluctant to talk. But I was not gonna give up so fast. It could be considered an annoying factor about me, but I love to make people talk.

"You didn't tell me about your job, what do you do?"

"I am a…professor." The way he lays emphasis on each word always felt so strangely nice.

"Professor. So you're Professor Snape." Now I knew a bit more about him. It was a start.

I smiled at the thought of him teaching students and them annoying him. He didn't seem like the teaching kind to me. So he wasn't a spy after all.

Snape's POV

She was constantly trying to make a conversation with me but I avoided it. She asked me what my profession was. When I told here I was a professor, I expected her to ask me what I taught or something but she smiled. She even called me Professor Snape which reminded me of all the dunderheads I had to teach especially the Potter boy.

I wonder what she was smiling at, I hope she believes I'm not some spy now, although I am Albus'. She seemed so convinced with her self earlier about it and which highly annoyed me. But I am more confused about why I care about what she thinks or does.

It was strange for me to ask for help from a muggle, I still do not wish to do it. Albus asks too much from me sometimes and I am afraid I might lose my patience someday but I have no other choice.

It would be hard to manage with a non-magic person but I felt (Y/N) was better than the other muggles.

Your POV

It was more than an hour since we had been riding. I was totally bored. How long was this gonna last. I was dying to get some fresh air and to cut the tension a.s.a.p. Even the cab driver would be dying in here.

I looked out again and now I realised I had been there. It wasn't a bit familiar, it was a bit too familiar.

I wanted to be anywhere but there. Everything is coming back to me like a boomerang now.
