He wasn't sure what was worse: finding out that Mary had hugged Potter after their -- as she had assured him -- non-date flying, or finding it out from Rita Skeeter. The first part was quite bad enough. The second came, part and parcel, with the added humiliation of the entire school thinking his girlfriend was two-timing him. And with James fucking Potter, as well. Joy of bloody joys.
There wasn't a single aspect of this that didn't hurt, anger, or embarrass him in some way. He had known her going flying with Potter would not end well. Severus had felt it in his bones, and he had tried to tell her so, but still -- he couldn't tell her not to. He didn't own her. They hadn't even been dating two months, yet. What right did he have to tell her who she could or couldn't see?
Simply knowing the arms that cuddled him had been around Potter as well caused his jaw to clench until his face ached, and made his hands ball into white-knuckled fists, and turned his stomach into a burning lump of dread, anger, and shame. Why hadn't he told her no? Why hadn't he admitted to being dreadfully jealous in the first place? Why hadn't he at least gone to the pitch to watch her?
Because he trusted her, that was why -- or at least, he had. Now he wasn't sure any longer.
