Chapter Text
It took exactly one month for Severus to be backed up against a wall, looking into Hagrid's eyes with his wand laying on the ground beyond reach.
Short quick breaths of the half giant made his heart race too. Fuck, none of this was planned.
The wizarding war raged on and everybody was so sure they knew everything about him. Especially... especially Hagrid. He fucking hated this man. Even when they had to work together. Even when he cared enough about the perceived enemy to ask if he was "aight".
The black haired man rested his face on the other's chest and got pulled into a hug. Hagrid wasn't mad - just worried.
" 'm sorry shouldn't have yelled." His whisper echoed around the potion's class. With no response he pulled away.
Years of knowing eachother, a month and then just one night.
When morning came Severus was a mess, sobbing into the other's shirt. Pleading for mercy, for understanding. For at least some compassion.
The slow strokes of large hand's on his back and shoulders shook a little. Mortal enemies can't hate eachother that badly if they are the only respite they are allowed to have. Dumbledore's scheming had to end.
