Harry Potter

Bailey hugged him softly, lying her head on his shoulder. "I know what you're doing, but keeping people away from you, it'll be your downfall, Severus."

"Letting people in has only lead to pain and despair in the past." He murmured.

"You need to have something to live for, Severus.." She said softly, into his shoulder.

"I do." He stated simply.

"And what is that?" She tilted her head softly.

He just kissed her forehead gently and smiled very slightly but didn't answer

Bailey sighed softly and closed her eyes gently. "Should I go, before your class shows up?"

"I do not have one this early today." He murmured.

Bailey blinked softly, "Oh, wow. That's funny, me either." She said softly, "I was suppose to have 3rd years, but they are going to Hogsmaede."

"Were you planning to go to Hogsmeade as well?"

Bailey shook her head gently, "No, and I'm not on watch duty, so I don't have to be there."

"There is nothing that you need to go do?"

Bailey blinked and shook her head, "If that's a hint for me to leave, I can go.." She blinked softly, sliding off the desk.

"Not by any means is that a hint for you to leave." He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Bailey blinked softly, "So, what are you up to, then?" She said softly, "Do you have anything to do?"

He shook his head, smiling slightly. "My day is completely clear."

"No classes at all?" She intermingled her hand in her hair softly.

"None. I am completely free."

Bailey looked at the floor and then at Severus, she then kissed him, pulling him on top of her.

He tensed up slightly in surprise at her actions but he quickly relaxed and wrapped his arms around her.

Bailey woke late in the afternoon, in Severus's bed, when had they moved here? All she remembered was collapsing on the floor from exhaustion, she was covered with a green satin sheet.

Snape was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.

Bailey put on Severus's robe and walked out towards his class, sticking her head in, "Professor?"

Snape was sitting at his desk, grading some papers. He looked up with one eyebrow raised when she came in. "Why the formalities?"

"If someone was in here it would have looking suspicious.." She said softly, looking at him.
