>SEVERUS' POV<
Scarlet suddenly froze, and all of a sudden, loud laughter somehow escaped her. "What's so funny?" I asked confusingly, as Scarlet hugged her stomach from laughing too much. "You think... Me and Xander are dating?" she repeated, and her session of laughter finally lessened. "Sir, do you know Elise Crestfellow?" she asked, "why, yes. She blew up a potion in front of my face. Why do you ask?" I replied, my face still wearing a confused expression. "They've been dating ever since last Christmas!" she exclaimed amusingly.

I stiffened awkwardly, watching the beautiful witch in front of me, laugh hysterically. "T-T-They were?" I stuttered, and felt my cheeks going dark.

This is too awkward to exist.

"Would you think I'll ever lie to you?" she said, and stepped beside me. "Wait... Were you jealous?"

Oh sh*t.

Scarlet laughed again, and stood on her tip-toes, leaving me confused.

The little witch planted a kiss on my cheek and leaned in my ear. "Thanks... for saving me back there." 

Later, she hurried to the bathroom to get changed.

What happened?

She later came out in comfortable-looking pyjamas, and walked to the guest room. " 'Night, Sev." she whispered, and closed the door. As Scarlet closed the door, I couldn't help but smile to myself, ear-to-ear.

<><><><><><><><><><>

The next day, it was a weekend. I groaned as the sunshine blinded me, forcing me to wake up. When I got to the living room, I saw Scarlet all ready, and was reading the book while her right leg was over the left one. "Well, someone's a early bird, this weekend." I teased, "It was because I woke up early, which is unusual." she replied, in a confused and amused tone combined.

  "Can I ask you something?" I asked, praying I'll succeed on finishing my sentence.
  "Hmm?" she said, and arched an eyebrow, copying me when these certain moments happen.
  "Um... Well..." Dammit.

"If I forgave you last night?" she asked impatiently, in a guessing tone. My eyes suddenly widened and Scarlet was smiling amusingly. "Uh... Yes..." I muttered awkwardly,

"Well, listen. If you want me to forgive you again... Prove me two things. One, prove that you'll never hurt me again. And two, prove that you can love me the way you did before."

I think I can do number two.

"We'll see... Now, get dressed. Breakfast is nearly over." she told me, exiting my chambers. I may have said that out loud.

<><><><><><><><><><>

After breakfast, me and Scarlet had to go to the Quidditch Field. Two reasona. One, because Scarlet had practice, Two, because I'm watching my Slytherins play against them.

As I sat down on the bleachers, Flora Felixa sat beside me. "What is it now, Flora?" I asked her irritatedly, how does witch even put up with my personality?

"I came to check on how you two were last night. Good sleep?" she asked, "For the first time ever since June, yes. Why are you here?" I replied, she tugged a smile on her lips and gestured her eyes towards Raven. "I'm keeping an eye on her. She seems to be absent regularly for quite sometime." she told me, and watched as a Slytherin goaled. I looked at one of my students sternly, as he tried to hit Scarlet's face with his bat, if it weren't for her as she ducked, and grabbed the bat with her eyes glowing purple. "You should be proud of your students." Felixa said, not bothering to look at me. "I am, but it just hurts of what other houses think of them. Maybe... There are other snakes that don't bite, you know."

"See here, Professor Snape having a talk against Slytherin."

"I'm not... Wait."

A scream.

I rose up from my seat, as Felixa did too. It was Scarlet. She was being chased by a...

"Is that a dragon?!?!" Felixa shouted in disbelief, and hurried down to the ground. It was...

A Hebridean Black.

The dragon was around 15 feet long, and it's scales were spiked so sharp it can go through you. I ran down the bleachers and watched in horror as Scarlet was being chased by the humongous beast, riding her tiny Nimbus 2000. "What do we do?!" Felixa screamed, "Go find Rebeus!" I shouted, and brought out my wand.

How did the dragon even get inside the Quidditch Field?

~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•

>THIRD PERSON<
A dragon.

A fucking dragon was chasing me as it's lunch!

I mean, why attack a innocent witch who just wanted a good day?! I don't even look delicous!

And why do I always have to be that 'damsel in distress' in the story?!

(Sorry Scarlet... --Author)

As Scarlet looked towards the others, they were all dumstruck to think on what to do. "Get out!!!" she shouted commandingly, making them snap back to reality and fly out of the field. The dragon's flaming hot fire missed her as she flew upwards, but the dragon started to pick up speed. Screaming in fright, the Gryffindor in a Nimbus 2000 didn't know what to do herself. She needed to drag the dragon away from the school.

Wait... Remember I could speak to animals?!

"Stop!!! Please!!" Scarlet shouted at the creature, as it's fire ball caught the Ravenclaw bleachers on fire. "Whats the fun in that?" it's scary deep voice replied, and cornered her. "What do you want?!?! What is it?!?!" Scarlet shouted, "You're existence bothers me... My master will be ever so pleased as your body will be upon the feet of my master..."

<><><><><><><><><><>
I'm dead. Dead as shit. It was nice living in this world. I was about to repay that Sickle I borrowed from Lyanna but I guess -
<><><><><><><><><><>

"Scarlet!!!!" a voice boomed from below. She looked down and saw Hagrid carrying a large, long, and heavy chain. "Tie i' 'round it's neck!" he shouted. She used her Fortis Viribus powers, and brought the chain to her hand, as the other was gripping on the broom, tightly.

But how do I get it around it's neck?

She tried to fly at the back of the Hibredean Black, but the dragon doesn't let the witch lose his sight. Scarlet stared into it's eyes, but since the dragon was flapping it's elephant ear of wings, it was going slightly up and down (Mind the sarcasm).

She flew out of all sorts of directions. Scarlet's Nimbus was speedy, but the dragon's wings were larger.

Scarlet tried to fly left, but the dragon's enormous tail crashed into her broom, and knocked herself off.

"A

h!!!!!!!!!"

Scarlet screamed like the loudest she has ever done, as she was almost hitting the ground. "Minerva, do something! Fucking anything!" Severus bellowed at McGonagall. She was a foot from the ground when...

"Good boy, Buckbeak!"

Buckbeak?!

Scarlet opened her eyes, to see she landed on the Hippogriff's back. "How did you -?"

>SCARLET'S POV<

"I smelled fire. And as for what I see, this isn't just normal fire. You need to wrap the chain around it's neck and pull!" Buckbeak told me, and roughly flew to the back of the dragon. "Do it... Now!" he shouted, I threw the chains...

Damn it I missed!

Buckbeak was going all directions, trying to help me throw the chains. Wait... What'll the chains do? The Hippogriff tail almost got caught on fire as he suddenly flew directly at the dragon's forehead. "Buckbeak, I-I c-can't do t-t-this!" I screamed in fright, "No! You can! Just believe in yourself! Don't look down and concentrate!"

Lucas.... "Don't look down! Just believe in yourself!"

This isn't the fuck helping!

and the fact now that I swear a lot just because I'm flipping panicking!

We moved a bit closer, and after 2-5 throws....

I-I-I got it! I pulled so hard like I was about to die, and the large black dragon fell down to the ground. Making a loud earthquake.

"I need to splash my face with water..." Professor Jones muttered, and ran out of the crowd. "Oh no, you don't!" Felixa shouted, and pulled the witch in black back to the group. "I-Is it dead?" McGonagall asked, Hagrid stepped in front and poked the dragon in the eye. "Nope. Jus' concious after te chains had tha' scen', only dragons can smell." Hagrid told them, took the dragon by the leg, and dragged it out of the field like it was nothing.

"Scarlet!" Severus gasped, and hugged me tightly. (Wouldn't that be a bit suspicous...? Idk). "How did the dragon even get in Minerva?" Professor Felixa asked, looking at Jones sternly. "Why, don't blame me! I used to be afraid of dragons remember?" Professor Jones exclaimed defensively, but I saw something she was wearing. On her neck, seemed to be a beautiful necklace. A glowing one... It was a design of a... Dragon's eye?

"You have a beautiful necklace, Professor Jones." I complimented suspicously. "Why thank you, dear. It was passed on to me after my grandmother herself. A dragon lover, which I dreaded for my entire life." she told me, and wiped a drop of sweat off her face. "I'm here!" Madam Pomfrey shouted, hurrying after us. "Oh dear!" she said, I looked towards my right arm, and it had a small burn. The shape looked more like... A dragon's head with horns...

"Come, we need to fix that-"

"Um, Madam Pomfrey?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Can I keep the burn? Just heal it, but not remove it." I told her, the others gave a curious look. "Of course. Let's do that in the Hospital Wing."

<><><><><><><><><><>

"There, there. Look, it's done. Now, just rest, and you can go to dinner."

"Thanks."

"No worries."

As Madam Pomfrey left, I giggled as Severus sneaked in. "And aren't visitors allowed when Madam Pomfrey tells them not to?" I asked, "They are. Are you alright?" he replied, and kissed the top of my forehead. "I'm alright."

He sat at the side of my bed, as I sat up, leaning on the bed frame. "I was terrified. You would've died." he whispered in my ear, and squeezed my hand. "You do know you still need to prove to me those two things."

"I will. Don't worry..."

Magandang umaga o hapon sa nag-babasa ng aking istorya!

(Ma-gan-dang u-ma-ga o ha-pon sa nag-ba-ba-sa nang a-king is-stor-ya!)

Wow that was hard.

Hah, thats filipino for;

Beautiful/Good morning or afternoon to readers of my story!

Don't worry. It's hard to explain if you're not a filipina or filipino. You'll get it if you are one, but translated to English, it looks like rubbish. I look like an idiot trying to explain it to you.

ANYWAYS...

Hewo! I'm sorry if this chapter is so long. But, I hope your using clues *wink wink*! Oh forget it, you'll use it in the final chapter.

QOTD: Would you survive if a dragon started attacking you?

AOTD: I might... But their is a 49% chance I'm dragon meat.
