New Beginnings

Chapter 18: Payback

Sarah woke up the next morning to be greeted by Madam Pomfrey.
“Good morning dear.”
“Morning.” Sarah grumbled.
“You can leave once you get ready.”
“Thank you.” Sarah sat up and hopped off of the bed, looking around for her clothes.
“There is a robe for you over there dear.” Madam Pomfrey pointed to a neatly folded dark grey robe.
“Oh ok.” Sarah picked up the robe and slipped it on.
“Professor Snape will be here in a second to take you back to your common room.”
“Ok.” Sarah looked over to the infirmary door. “Speak of the devil.” Madam Pomfrey chuckled and walked away.
“Good morning.” Snape greeted.
” Sa” Sarah walked over to Snape. “I’m glad that you are my escort.”
“Yes. Come now.” Snape turned around.ah fah followed.
“I had a chat with Draco.”
“What about?”
“Us.”
“What? Why would you do that?” Snape glared.
“He’s not going to tell anyone.” Sarah assured.
“How could you possible know that? You can not trust a Malfoy Sarah.” Snape sneered.
“Well I know and I’m going to trust Draco. I’t h’t have a problem like you.”
“Yes, I’m the one with all the problems. Just make sure that no one else finds out from now on.”
“I promise that no one else will find out, from me or Draco.” Sarah held her hand to her hear.
“Good.” Snape calmed down a little. “What else did you two talk about?”
“Me and him. We got back together.” Sarah replied.
“Did you now?” Snape looked over at Sarah.
“Yeah. I’m sorry.” Sarah pocked Snape’s arm. “No more me and you, till I am single again.”
“Well yes. That is what we agreed on.”
“So what are you going to do?” Sarah wondered.
“Nothing.” Snape muttered simply.
“Nothing? You aren’t going to get someone to take over my position?” Sarah was in disbelief.
“I am afraid that there isn’t anyone else that would be able or I would like to take over your position.” Snape showed no emotion at all.
“I thought we said no feelings.”
“There aren’t any.” Snape spat.
“Right. I got professor Snape to feel emotion.” Sarah laughed.
“I am not!” Sarah protested.
“Oh come on.” Sarah scoffed. “Don’t hide it. It is all in your body language.” Sarah stopped walking.
“The only feeling I have for you are sexual pleasure.ape ape stated.
“No it isn’t.” Sarah shook her head as she laughed.
“Alright, alright I do have feelings for you.” Snape sighed.
“like what? That you care?”
“Well I do have to give out an ounce of care to each student.” Snape continued walking again.
“So you are telling me that there isn’t a difference between me, the girl who fucked you for over a couple of weeks and a student?” Sarah was a little offended. But she was the one that didn’t want any feelings. She didn’t know why she bothered asking him about them.
“I thought you said no feelings.” Snape mused.
“I did… but… oh well. Just as long as there isn’t ah… romantic feelings.” Sarah corrected her meaning of feelings. “Well?”
“ALRIGHT!” Snape stopped walking. “I do care for you. But lets just say that you are a female friend.”
“Good enough.” Sarah smiled. “You are my lover.” Sarah held the L in lover. Snape stared at her. “Well you are.”
“Yes I suppose so.”
“Oh and I like you to.” Sarah added.
“Good to know.” Snape continued walking. The walked down to the Slytherin common room. There were not any students walking around as it was a little early in the morning. They didn’t say much to each other as they walked. Sarah knew that Snape was a hard person to crack and she had just cracked him slightly. They stopped at the front of the Slytherin common room entrance.
“Thanks for the walk.” Sarah smiled.
“You’re welcome.”
“Laters.” Sarah said the password and walked into the common room. Immediately all the students that were there stared at her. “What?” Sarah asked with a snarl. She walked past them all and up to her room.

Sarah had finished hhowehower and walked downstairs to have a chat with a certain someone. As she stopped on the bottom staircase she saw Draco come down from the boys dorms. Sarah looked at him and smiled.
“Good morning.” Sarah greeted. Draco turned to her.
“Yes indeed.” Draco walked over to her. Sarah put out her arms and wrapped them around Draco. “What is this for?”
“I’m just happy.” Sarah whispered.
“Me too.” Draco grinned.
“I’m going to go and find Pansy.” Sarah pulled away.
“Why? What are you going to do?” Draco asked.
“Lets just say that I’m going to pay her back.” Sarah smirked.
“Oh right.” Draco just nodded.
“Do you know where I can find her?”
“I don’t know.” Draco shrugged. “In her room?”
“Ok, I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Sarah walked back up the staircase. She walked to Pansy’s bedroom. She hadn’t been to Pansy’s room before. Never really wanted to. She looked around for a door with Pansy’s name. Funny enough Sarah found Pansy’s room and it was only a couple of doors away from her own.
Sarah knocked on the door. She knocked four hard times then stopped. She heard some scuffling from with in the room. The door opened and there stood Pansy.
“Oh Sarah.” Pansy smiled.
“Meet me by the lake in ten minutes.”
“Why?” Pansy asked.
“Just do it!” Sarah ordered. She then turned away and walked back down to the common room. Draco was still standing where they were talking before. “Come on.” Sarah grabbed Draco’s arm and pulled him out of the common room.
“Where are we going?”
“Out side.” Sarah replied. She led Draco through the corridors quickly, wanting to be there waiting before Pansy would arrivhe whe walked over to the lake then let Draco’s arm free from her grip. Sarah stood around for a little then bego pao pace, thinking of what she was going to do. She then saw Pansy coming towards her and Draco. “I’m glad you made it.”
“Ah, yes.” Pansy looked back and forth between Draco and Sarah.
“Why did you lie?” Sarah asked angrily.
“I told no lie.” Pansy said with a shaky tone.
“Don’t lie Parkinson. You told Draco you lied yourself. Is your ugly face scaring away all the boys that you have to make up relationships in your heaSaraSarah walked closer to Pansy.
“I am not UGLY!” Pansy screeched in offence.
“Yes you are. No one likes you, Draco doesn’t like you. The guys who fuck you don’t even want to look at your face.” Sarah spat.
“You’re just jealous.”
“Of what? You? No. Not even an ugly midget would be jealous of you!” Sarah cackled. She was enjoying this. It made her feel better. Draco just watched on.
“Shut up!” Pansy squeaked.
“No! You are going to get what you deserve.” Sarah clenched her fist and punched Pansy in the face.
“Oh!” Pansy fell to the floor with a cry. Blood oozing out of her now broken nose.
“Sarah that’s enough.” Draco stepped forward.
its its not.” Sarah kneeled over Pansy and grabbed her neck. Students began to gather around wanting to view the fight. “You are a bitch and I’m going to hurt you as much as you hurt me with your lie.” Sarah tightened her grip around Pansy’s neck.
“Please.” Pansy croaked.
“Please what?” Sarah shook Pansy’s head.
“Please don’t. I’m sorry.” Pansy spluttered. Sarahld sld sansyansy’s head turn a bluish colour and where she had her hands on her neck it was a burnt red colour.
“You damn well should be.” Sarah tightened her grip even more. Pansy began to thrash about.
“Sarah come one!” Draco shouted. The students began to cheer.
“NO!” Sarah looked up and saw Ron Harry and Hermione watching her. Sarah looked away from them and back down at Pansy just as her eye’s were closing from the lack of oxygen.
“MISS HARRISON LET HER GO!” Snape roared. Sarah slowly let Pansy’s neck free. Snape walked up behind her and pulled her up by her arms. Snape bent down and checked Pansy’s pulse. “Potter, Malfoy. Take her to the infirmary now.”
“WHAT?!” Draco and Harry couldn’t believe it. Why them?
“DO IT!” Snape snarled. Draco and Harry slowly walked towards Pansy and picked her up. “You come with me.” Snape grabbed Sarah’s arm and dragged her to his office. Snape opened his office door and threw Sarah in slamming the door behind him. “WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!”
“I was pa Pan Pansy back.” Sarah sat down on the black leather couch.
“You can’t do that! You could have killed her.”
“I wish I did.” Sarah muttered.
“Why did you do that?” Snape asked.
“Because she made me and Draco break up. If it wasn’t for her we would have been together.” Sarah replied.
“Still you have no right to do what you did.” Snape stood in front of her.
“Yes I did. I had every right.” Sarah protested. “I had every single right to do what I did and a little more.”
“In your eyes you think you did, but you do not in mine.”
“What the fuck do you know?” Sarah snapped.
“Sarah please!” Snape snarled.
“So what are you going to do about it?” Sarah asked crossing her arms over her chest.
“Nothing.”
“WHAT?!”
“I’m letting you off just this once. This is a high cause for expulsion. I shall have a word with professor Dumbledore and see what he would like to do.” Snape explained.
“Alrgiht.” Sarah sighed. She knew that she was going to get in trouble.
“I will have a word with you later.”
“Ok.” Sarah stood up. “Laters Professor.” Sarah left Snape’s office. She slowly walked through the dark corridor when she felt a hand go over her mouth and she was pulled in to an empty class room. Once the hand was gone Sarah screamed. “Let go of me!” the person let her go and she turned around and looked at who it was. “RON! What are you doing?”
“I want to talk to you.”
“OK.” Sarah breathed deeply. “What about?”
“Draco.”
“What about him?” Sarah wondered.
“Don’t go back to him. Please don’t. he’ll hurt you again and again. He’ll never stop. Just don’t go back to him.” Ron pleaded.
“Ronald.” Sarah sighed. “Draco didn’t cheat on me.”
“How would you know?” Ron questioned.
“Because Pansy lied to me.”
“True, but a Malfoy never changes, he's done it to other girls why would be be different with you?”
“Draco has changed. Please Ron don’t make this any harder for me.” Sarah frowned. “I love him.”
“I know.” Ron face fell.
“I’m sorry.” Sarah turned to walk out of the class room.
“No I’m sorry.” Ron mumbled. “I didn’t really think.”
“It’s ok.” Sarah walked back towards Ron and kissed his cheek. “But at least we gave us a go.”
“Yeah.” Ron smiled a little.
“I’ll see you around.” Sarah walked out of the class room and headed to the Slytherin common room.
Ron stood in the class room thinking. He didn’t think that he would be able to feel this pain again but he had. He slowly walked out of the class room and up to the Gryffindor common room.
