Severus couldn't tell if he was elated or terrified. He had no idea where he stood anymore, or what he wanted. He knew how Isolde made him feel, but he was also terrified about what it might mean. She didn't fit well with the life he'd planned out once school let out, but the thought of distancing himself from her was intolerable. And after what she'd written in the journals, knowing the gift she was offering him... He couldn't believe he was actually doing this, actually walking toward Gryffindor Tower to...
He shook his head, needing to at least pretend he was calm. There was still so much danger. Everyone seemed to know about them now, and that made her a target. Alecto Carrow in particular seemed to be focusing on her. First her brother had put Isolde in the Hospital, but now Alecto had the audacity to write those things about her? It couldn't be tollerated. He was going to have to...
He turned a corner and there she was, walking directly toward him. He sighed inwardly and put on his best poker face. This was not going to end well, but if he kept his temper they could part with a few well aimed jabs. The idea of Alecto letting him simply walk by without saying anything was slim, but he was in control of his emotions enough to weather it. He hoped.
