^^Snape > Ginny ^^

Two days had passed and Snape was patrolling the corridors, before deciding to go out into the forest to forage for ingredients for his potions. Snape watched them together, Potter and Ginny. His Ginny. It made his blood boil. He watched them sitting on the castle stairs laughing and joking, she looked happy. He knew that they were not together but it was obvious how much they wanted each other, and to Snape it felt like a knife was slowly cutting through his very soul. He watched as Harry moved closer to her, it was as if it was in slow motion. He saw him bringing his lips to hers and she didn't push him away. Broken and angry Snape stepped out of the shadows and intervened, "Mr Potter, Miss Weasley. It is late, why are you out of your dormitories?" He snapped. Ginny wondered to herself if Snape had seen them kissing, 'maybe he just arrived' she reassured herself, before scolding herself for even caring.

"Oh, Professor. I was just on my way back from Dumbledores office, he had urgent information for me." Harry explained, "you seem to have gotten yourself lost Mr Potter as I'm pretty sure the gryffindor common room is in the opposite direction." Snape drawled slowly, narrowing his eyes at the arrogant little bastard. "I needed some air, after what Dumbledore told me." Harry explained, "which was?" Snape sighed. "He told me that I might be connected to he-who-shall-not-be-named. That a part of him lives within me." Harry spat, trying to get the greasy got off his back. "Very well, I can understand. I'll not be taking points on this occasion." Snape offered, he detested the boy but he still had a sense of compassion, even if it was only slight.
"Why are you here Miss Weasley?" He inquired with a scowl, "comforting my friend." She replied simply with a glare. "Potter, return to your dormitories." Snape told the boy with an cold tone, Harry did as he was asked after giving up waiting for an answer to his question, which was "why is Ginny staying here?"

Snape sat down on the steps beside Ginny and they looked at each other for a moment, "I wish to apologise for my behaviour the last time we spoke." He told her gently. "It's alright, it's forgotten." Ginny smiled, Merlin he loved her smile. "I want you to know that I am always here for you Ginevra, no matter what the problem is.You're not like the other dunderheads... I really do care for you." He grimaced knowing what he had just said, "And I care for you too Professor Snape, I know that there's a good person in there somewhere!" She laughed prodding his chest with her finger. "You care for me?" Snape blushed. "Yes, I feel like you understand me. Where as to everybody else I'm invisible." Ginny sighed. "You're very much visible Ginerva, you are worth so much more than you realise." Snape assured her seriously, with an expressionless face. She smiled at him and blushed. "Although,You shouldn't care for me, I've done some terrible things." He told her honestly with sadness in his eyes.

"I'm not going to judge you on your past, friends don't do that." she reassured him, placing her head on his shoulder. He froze not knowing where to put himself, 'she called me her friend?' He beamed inside. He placed an arm around her, and pulled her to him. He wanted to kiss her but he knew she was with Potter, No matter how she denied it, he saw them kiss with his own eyes.
Potter had won.
