'He's staring again.' Your friend said.

You looked up and had eye contact with professor Snape for a moment before he looked away.

'It's already creepy that you like someone who's that much older but him liking you is just... disgusting.' She whispered.

'Shut up.' You hissed. 'Who says he even likes me?'

'He's been staring at you all day. During breakfast, during lunch and even now. Also during class. He was constantly near out table. It scares me.'

You saw him looking at you again in the corner of your eye.

'Well he isn't staring at you, is he? It's non of your business. I don't think it's disgusting.'

She wanted to say something again.

'Don't you speak. I don't want to hear it. You can be a little more supportive.'

She didn't say anything. You looked at Snape. He turned his head to you. Your cheeks shot red and you looked away. You tried to eat. He saw that you were looking at him.

Snape knew it was wrong. In love with a student.. He just heard you talk about your love for potions and the things you talked about with your friends. You had a lot in common with him.

'Are you alright, Severus?'

Severus turned his head to McGonagall.

'I'm fine.' He just said and he continued eating.

-

'No! You can't do this! I have to draw a line here.'

Your friend snatched the paper you were holding from your hands.

'Let go! Else he'll never know!'

You got up and grabbed it from her. You looked at it. You couldn't believe you were actually going to do this. What was he going to reply? How embarrassing would it be if he'd say no? You wouldn't even dare to go to potions.. but you just had to know.

Dear Severus,

This might come as a surprise.. and I know i should say professor Snape to you, but right now I really have to get something off my chest.

I don't know how you feel about this and I know this isn't acceptable but I really like you. Like more than I am supposed to like you like that. I mean, you're my professor and many years older. I just had to tell you. Even if you don't feel the same way.

I hope to get a reply from you.

You wrote your name on the bottom and folded the paper. You wrote Severus Snape on the top of it and walked to your owl.

'Are you seriously going to do this?'

You turned to your friend and nodded. You gave the letter to your owl and let her fly out of the window.

It didn't take long before your owl came back. Your heart was besting in your chest. There was a note. You recognised the hand writing. You grabbed the note with shaking hands.

Your friend was laying on her bed. Not really paying attention. You opened the note.

Meet me at the lake, as soon as you can.

Professor Snape.

This could go horribly wrong or right. You had to go. You put in your shoes and ran out of the common room. You hurried towards the lake. You took deep breaths as you walked towards it.

You looked around. Before you knew it you saw him in the distance. Your heart stopped for a moment before beating heavily again. You slowly approached him. He looked at you.

'H-hello professor..' You said.

'Good evening.' Snape said.

The moon lid up his slightly long black hair and a part of his face. It was wrong.. this was wrong but you loved it. It was quite. You two just looked at each other.

'Listen professor.. I know that it's wrong and I know I houldn't have this feeling. I'm sorry..'

'Don't be sorry. I must say I'm flattered.' He said.

'But.. is there is a but?' You asked.

You then saw something very rare. A small smile on his face. It made you smile too.

'There's no but. I know it mustn't be this way but what can I say.. You might think I'm a peodophile but trust me I'm not. I mustn't like you but I'm afraid that I do.'

You blushed and your smile grew wider. You looked at the floor for a moment before looking back at him.

'Really?'

Snape nodded.

'I thought you were going to give me detention.' You grinned.

'Although I do like doing that I didn't think that would be the right response to this. Unless you want detention.' He said.

'I'd rather not.' You grinned.

Snape stepped closed to you.

'So, are we dating now?' He asked.

'I'd like too.' You smiled.

Snape then laid his hand on your cheek. You looked up at him. Your cheeks were red and your breath was shivering a bit.

You leaned up a little. Another small smile appeared on his face before he pressed his lips against yours.
