TW:abuse and bullying

SNAPES POV:

I ran to y/n's class, I found out she has herbology from the timetable she had left on her desk. "may I borrow Miss Black." I say to Pomona. "Of course" she looks at y/n smiling and gesturing for her to leave. Her eyes slowly meet my gaze and she walks out the door not showing emotion. "Look y/n-" "Miss Black" she corrected me. "-Miss Black, follow me to my office we need a word" I said hiding the hurt in my voice. "Why can't we talk out here, no one is around and i'm not bothered about it if i'm being honest". I couldn't hide my emotions this time, I grab her by. the wrist and pull her all the way to the classroom. I hear hey cry out in pain at how hard I yanked her, I ignore it and carry on walking tightening my grip on her wrist causing it to turn red.

As we get to my classroom I throw her hand away forcing her into a desk, she hit it with a large thud and tears rolled down her face. I just realised what I had done. "y/n i'm sorry I didn't mean i-" "You need help professor and please for the love of merlin, leave me alone" she interrupted me and walked off tears flooding down her rosy cheeks. As she walks off she starts to rub her wrist, she looks back once more and said "You were my best friend Severus, now look at us" Those words broke me, tears fell down my face once again, this was all new to me I haven't cried in years, I mean, I haven't felt this way about anyone in years.

Y/N'S POV:

I walk out of Snape's room tears flooding down my cheeks, I look back once more and say "You were my best friend Severus, now look at us" I run to the slytherin common rooms not too far away from Snape's room. I sit there crying rubbing my swollen wrist, until I hear footsteps. "And then he trie-OMG Y/N WHAT HAPPENED" Draco yelled a sympathetic look on his face. He picked up my wrist and I pulled away hissing at the pain. "he did this you- did he? If he did my father will be hearing about this. Just say the word and I can get him fired" "Draco no its ok I promise i'll be back i'm going to Madam Pomfrey's. I got up and made my way to the hospital, I suddenly get pushed into a wall, once again hitting my wrist. "Leave me alone sna-" I turn around to see those gryfindor boys once again."This time Snape isn't going to be here to save you is he?" One of the boys pinned me against the wall causing me to hit my head, " oh look, y/n's bleeding. Weak" he scoffed. I tried my best to hide my tears."Crying now are we?" "Just leave me alone" I say my eyes still looking down. A harsh hand hit my face and I broke into tears, the boys ran off and I slid down the wall and sat with my hands in my head.

"What the hell are you doing out of your common room" Said an angry voice, I looked up to see the man I hated the most right now."none of your business" I muttered." y/n I think it's my business since you have a massive bruise on your face." he said with an apologetic look. He reached out his hand, without realising I put out the hand he hurt and tried to pull myself up. I squealed in pain and dropped back to the floor. "I-I did that to you" He stuttered his face full of shock and regret. "Just go it will heal eventually" I say to him. "I'm afraid thats not possible y/n, this needs to be treated now" He lifts me up and pulls me close to his chest in bridal style. I close my eyes, for the first time in ages I felt some sort of comfort i didn't even feel with Sirius.

I wake up in a room I don't recognise as my own, in fact I don't recognise it at all. I sit up and look around to see i'm sat on a big four posted bed in a quite large room with dark green curtains and a tall oak dresser next to it was a matching closet. I look at myself in the mirror and realise i'm in a large black t-shirt, this isn't my own, I thought to myself. A few moments later Snape walks into the room holding bandages and a glass of water. "Where am I" I ask him confused yet at peace. "my room, I hope thats ok it's just that Pomfrey was asleep and i couldn't take you anywhere else-" I place my hand on his. "It's ok, i'm glad you helped" He gave me a thankful smile. "and i'm sorry about how I acted earlier, I was just annoyed and didn't know what to d-" "don't apologise y/n its my fault I yelled first" We smiled at each other and he wrapped his arms around me pulling me into a tight hug. It felt like i've known him before, in another life.

Right then in that moment, I felt safer than I ever have.
