>SCARLET'S POV<
I heard a rustling noise outside and peeked to see who it was. It must be Ben. But it's only been an hour...?

"Ben...?"

When a pair of lips crashed onto mine.

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

It was those sweet pair of thin lips that seemed so familiar. I didn't really see who it was for I closed my eyes when the figure hit me, so instead, I kissed back. 

Besides, I already know who this is.

He kissed me quite sweetly, as his hands started travelling around me as though a blind person was examining an interesting object. I had no chance of pulling away. But why would I want to?

The mysterious figure finally pulled away for both of us to breath, but his hands were grasping onto my collar. I leaned my head under his chin and muttered:

"You get what you want no matter what, don't you, Professor?"

I backed away as his eyes fixed on me. "You're safe!" he gasped, hugging me to death. I can't imagine him being so sweet ever since I first saw him... who knew. "And you're not angry?"

"I think I'm too happy of finding you alive that I can't even find a reason of being furious. Consider yourself lucky. I have created & know a lot of curses that I could've directed at you right now."

I gulped.

"How did you find me, though?"

"This." Sev opened his hand to reveal... my wolf necklace. My mouth was slightly open and I didn't know how to reply. "I knew there was more than you slipping your necklace into my hand. I thought maybe it had a reason. A meaning. So I searched every part of the castle where we were usually together... When I realize... The place where I didn't search was the place where I first came to my senses that you were the one I was looking for."

My mouth was still open, that maybe a fly already flew in there. Secretly, I waved my hand over the tent and casted a Disillusion charm to make it invisible so he won't find me again. "You're not supposed to be here, though! And how did you find the tent?!"

"I heard you singing last night." he simply replied, that those words meant everything to me. "Heard me singing? That's something odd. How is my voice different from others?" I asked confusingly. "It's just... When you sing, it's not something you hear everyday. When I love someone, I know them in a crowd."

"Stop it... You're giving me the feels again!"

He arched an eyebrow in confusion. "The feels? That seems far from what I'm trying to say." he told me, and let out a low chuckle. "Let's go. It is very foolish of you to come here! And why, in all places, here where you can possibly die?!"

That's when it came to me. My complete mood changed. My thoughts flipped over. And I felt angry now.

He's not supposed to be here! They're using people I care about so I can surrender to them!

My eyes filled with tears and I grabbed my bag then started hitting him with it. "You mustn't be here! You ought to return to Hogwarts! You must return to Hogwarts, NOW!" I shouted but he grabbed his wand, pointed it at my bag, and the thing flew across the forest.
"Why did you just hit me?!"

I placed my hands towards him, as a purple flames suddenly glowed from my hands. He was alarmed to back away and he started backing off. "Scarlet! What are you doing?! Stop this!" he shouted, now, his voice was hoarse. "I'm - not - letting - you - die - in - front  of  me! YOU CAN BE HURT FOR GOD'S SAKE!" I roared loudly, as the fire grew larger and larger. My tears now streaming down my face. "I'm helping you! No matter what it costs!" he shouted, avoiding a distant bush that -may have been Ben's- caught on my fire. "This is my fight! And I am not allowing you to risk yourself because of my stupid problems!"

"You say through thick and thin! You promised me."

My powers seemed to be weakening. What was happening?! I somehow grew... weaker... and the purple started to fade away...

"Don't -!"

"You told me you loved me."

"Go back!"

"Don't you want me in your presence anymore?"

"STOP IT!"

I screamed and landed on the floor, now, my face flooded with salty tears. "I... I just... You need to be safe..."

"I am my own person, Scarlet. I can take care of myself."

"But not one against a dozen Death Eaters, though! Do you understand everybody I care about, is in danger right now?"

"Are you being selfish?"

"SELFISH?!" I repeated, rising from the ground and started pushing his shoulders, sending him tumbling backwards. "You. Think. I'm. Spending. The. Crap. Out here- just to save myself?!?!" I felt my eyes started to fading from chestnut brown to bright purple. "If you do not return to Hogwarts and hide, all of this work would be wasted. "

"RUBBISH!" I bellowed again and bolted to the tent. But Sev caught my arm and seized me back. "Listen to me!!!" and looked at my face. I looked nothing more than frightened. "Lucius told me news. News from the Dark community- "

"YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PERSUADE ME!"

"I'm not telling lies!" he roared rather commandingly, and gripped onto my arm tighter. "We want to help you. We need you to hide because your kind is something useful to this world. Malaine is plotting to find you. You need to hide at the safest place on earth where she couldn't touch you." he told me calmly, as my mouth was slightly open in annoyance. "SO YOU'RE GOING TO HIDE ME NOW?! HIDE ME WHILE PEOPLE GET TORTURED OF NOT HANDING ME OVER?! AND FOR HOW MANY YEARS WILL YOU DO THAT?!" I bellowed, throwing my hands to the ground, that my flames suddenly smashed towards the earth. I looked at him angrily with my eyes glowing bright purple than ever. "You think it's okay to lock me up in a room." I muttered, walking towards him while he backed away in fear. "You think that hiding me wil be a good idea." as he avoided my feet started to erupt fire as well. "And you think it's alright with me of standing here as other people get hurt!!!" and as my last sentence slipped off my mouth, the purple fire spread out of me quickly that the trees & forest animals hid and fell of their feet.

But as I looked at myself, I looked like a monster.

A scary one.

I'm turning bad....

And Sev looked as though I was about to kill him.

I shook my head then wiped my sleeve over my face as I breathed with a muffled sound. "Severus, I do not need your help even if I want to because it isn't the help I am looking for. If you want to help me, you can start by looking for Malaine with me but if you think otherwise, then shut it. I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but if you haven't notice I'm struggling to survive! I know you love me and I hope you know I love you as well, but if you're locking me in a room while Malaine attacks more innocent people, then forget I exist.

"I cannot stand her hurting more and more trying to make me surrender! I just think that I need to stop this now rather than hiding from it. Just... Please. I beg of you. Go home!"

"Then we have a problem." Sev muttered by the corner of his mouth.

"And that is?"

"You are my home, Scarlet."

I don't know why. But I felt weak and covered my hands with my face. The Potions Master was still on the ground, and I disappeared into the tent while he shouted my name for me to come back.

Ysabelle, I swear, if you read my story I just Idk. 

Hewo guys! Okay maybe a week after our exams, I have sneaked into the computer, vanished into my wardrobe, and is currently writing a chapter while everybody is curious of where I am. I know, this chapter is quite confusing or basically just effing bad. Well then a short summary:

Sev finally finds Scarlet deep in the forest and is trying to bring her back to Hogwarts. But when he told her she needs to hide there till Malaine dies, the idea itself is just shamalamadingdong bad. And she gets angry while he keeps on trying to calm her down and get her back to the castle.

Still confused? I am so sorry. But anyways, I'll try to clean my confusing mess and then write the next chapter. So.... I'll see ya? Okay.

YOU ARE MY HOME
