For a whole bickering could be heard , ruining the peaceful teatime of the staffs . It shouldn't have accelerated but it did and before both parties withdrew their wands and enchant Avada Kedavra : which they of course won't , Dumbledore decided to take matters in this own hands.
The old wizard with knowledge of the strongest spells decided to put both in the get along shirt -- more likely get along by joining hands. Now the two of them coupled up , fingers intertwined as they stare at Dumbledore with is this real? expression. As to answer the silent question Dumbledore nodded which earned a hilarious laugh from McGonagal.
Severus glanced at the warmth of a smaller hand wrapped around his own , squeezing it as it could provide him help to wake up from this dreamy incident.
"What?" Raven snapped at him
Snape raised an eyebrow at her.
"Perhaps it's your fault we end up at this misery in the first place" He replied calmly
"Me? You're the one to keep asking me to swap Dark Arts with you and how bad I am at it"
"And you are quite,bad, spoiling the students. I can do much better than that"
Raven threw a sharp glare in his direction
"Calm down" Dumbledore sliced the tension.
Raven looked away still throwing draggers at Snape's direction. The tension was thick enough to be cut by a knife. Though , Snape looked calm but staring closely it can be predicted that he was getting uncomfortable. A smile carved on Dumbledore's mouth of course he would be enjoying the squirming of them both. Snape together with someone - not someone but with Raven especially. The situation spoke itself just by looking at Raven's face , nervous and flustered.
A laughter erupted from the staff -- judging by was Filius Flitwick. The room felt cold , an awkward silence spread.The clock ticked as the time pass like a wave.
"Ain't it quiet pathetic?" Raven remarked on the situation.
"Wouldn't have been it if you listened to me once" Snape replied in a tone.
"How dare you , you s-"
Raven halt, glancing at the old wizard who was secretly smiling. Unexpected --expectedly she turned away from Snape.
"I will kill you" Raven muttered
A smirk abruptly bloomed on Severus lips as a sinister plot took place in his head. In an instant he lifted the intertwined hand and pressed a kiss on top of her knuckles , his thin lip pressed gently against her blooming heat through her body.
Multiple reaction erupted in the room ; McGonagal choking on her tea while Raven herself as a crimson blush covered the apple of her cheeks.
On the other side of the room Dumbledore turned shock and then joyful of the event happening. His laughter cuts through the intense situation.
Raven's head snapped at Snape as she glared in a weak protest to hide her flushed face and appear nonchalant. Her weak attempt earned a small laugh from Severus himself , making everyone dumbfounded-- everyone knew him as a cold man but today's situation was like watching a blue moon.
Snape cleared his throat effortlessly trying to be chill or so and squeezed Raven's hand on purpose to earn a reaction.Raven processing the situation, reciprocated his earlier action by kissing his hand back out of context. The sudden touch of her warm lips against his knuckles send a shiver down his spine.
"Trying to appear brave , Raven?"Severus sarcasm smacked her.
Annoyed she replied
"Professor Dumbledore can you leave us alone for a bit to talk . I promise I won't kill him to soon" Raven said calmly
"Yes Professor I'm sure I will be able to shut down Raven up specially this time and calm her up "Snape said
"Yes...wait WHAT?"her cheeks heated.
It took a whole minute for Raven to throw a sharp remark but before she could everyone actually left.
"W--wait professor i--" Raven stuttered.
The door closed behind leaving both of them alone . Snape looked at her with puckish eyes.
"Shall I demonstrate, R.A.V.E.N"he speaks mischievously and trap her between the wall and himself.
"Cat got your tongue,brat?"
