Severus

He liked weekends. No need to see other people.

No need to pretend. He could finally be himself.

The warm water soothing his body and soul.

At peace.

The Bath

“headmaster, i must insist—”

“leave it, phineas.”

“albus! really! the boy is likely to expire in the headmaster’s suite if we do nothing!”

“the castle will not let me die, you obstinate portrait. it’s merely the…stress. it will pass, it always does.”

“severus, really—you need not suffer in silence.”

“…albus. for god’s sake. shut the fuck up.”

Now he is finally alone, free to feel again. But what does he even feel?

He wants it to stop whatever it is. He used to be punished for showing weakness. No one is here to punish him now for displaying his emotions, however, he feels he is the one, who took over this role himself.

A moment of weakness.

Not just that but also the comments about her undermining the marauders’ bullying towards him by saying, ‘at least they don’t use dark magic,’ like yeah, whatever they’ve bullied you relentlessly over these past years to the point where you’ve had to start creating new spells to protect yourself, but at least they don’t use dark magic whilst doing it right? Also in the same conversation, she once again undermines his bullying by saying, ‘and you’re being really ungrateful. I heard what happened the other night. You went sneaking down that tunnel by the Whomping Willow and James Potter saved you from whatever's down there.’ Not let me hear your perspective, no, let me believe the rumours, but when you, the person who actually went through it all, someone who wants to protect me, tell me the truth and tell me that you won’t let me believe shit like this, then I get mad?
