A loud banging woke you from your sleep. You shot up in bed and looked around. The room was pitch black. You blinked several times trying to see in the dark. Your hand slid across the sheets towards Severus' side of the bed. You groped around in the dark feeling for him, but he wasn't in bed with you.
“Hello?” You whispered. “Sev? Is that you?”
After a moment you heard another loud bang. This time you realized it was coming from the living room. You slid off the side of the bed and planted your feet on the cold stone floor. You gasped at the shock of how cold the stone was against your warm feet. You and Severus shared a chamber in the dungeon of Hogwarts during the school year. You only stayed at your home in Spinner's End during the summer holidays. You hated how cold and lifeless your chambers were. The stone walls and floors made it almost inhospitable.
You stood up and grabbed your wand off the dresser. "Lumos!" You whispered. A small light popped up at the end of your wand. You opened the top drawer and found a pair of emerald green wool socks. As you bent down to pull them on a loud crash came from the living room. You heard a voice that was not Severus' whisper something and then laugh. Your heart began to beat wildly.
"Who in Merlin's name is in our chambers?" You whispered to yourself. Your thoughts began to race. Maybe it's the Bloody Baron? He'd been known to haunt the dungeon on occasion...but he was terrified of Severus. There is no way he would come into your chambers when Severus was not there.
You slowly walked toward the bedroom door. You reached your hand out to grab the door knob. You didn't really have a plan other than to rip the door open and hopefully take whoever was out there by surprise.
"Perhaps I can disarm them before they even realized what is going on?" You thought to yourself. Right as you began to turn the doorknob you realized you didn't have any clothes on (besides the emerald green socks) You usually only slept in underwear. You let the door knob go and turned to see what was close by that you could throw on. You spotted Severus' white dress shirt that he'd worn earlier that day under his black robes. You pulled it down over your head and turned back to the door. You took a deep breath and ripped the door open.
The door flung open and you emerged from the bedroom. You had your arm stretched out and your wand tightly gripped in your hand. "Who's there?!" You shouted, attempting to sound threatening. Almost immediately you saw Lucius and Severus crouching over a cauldron in the far corner of the living room. They both stood up and jumped back when you came slamming out of the bedroom, wand raised.
"What in Merlin's name are you doing?" Severus asked, trying to hold back a laugh. Lucius looked as if he'd seen the Bloody Barron himself emerge from the bedroom. His eyes widened and he stood frozen looking at you in the doorway.
"I...I thought-" you began, but Severus interjected ."Did we frighten you, love? I'm sorry! We just got back from the Leaky Cauldron and ...well ...we were just messing around....having a laugh."
"The Leaky Cauldron! Are you both drunk?" You demanded. Lucius still hadn't taken his eyes off of you or said a word.
"No! Absolutely not!" Severus insisted. "We were just having a bit of fun! We didn't mean to frighten you, darling. Go back to bed."
You glanced past Severus and Lucius and saw that the cauldron they had been standing over was bubbling and foaming. It began to change colors from yellow to purple.
"I don't think I want to know what you both are up to. Honestly, when you two get together it's like you regress back to your teenage years." You said with a hint of exasperation. Severus glanced over to Lucius with a mischievous smirk across his lips. However, Lucius' eyes were still firmly planted on you.
"Lucius, are you alright? You haven't said a word." Severus inquired.
Lucius hadn't been able to take his eyes off you since the moment you emerged from the bedroom. He had been taking in every inch of you. His heart raced as he'd drawn his eyes down your neck to your collar bone. It was barely visible behind the comically large dress shirt you were wearing. His eyes continued down until they found the outline of your nipples. They were just barley visible behind the white shirt. Thanks to the drafty dungeon you were freezing cold, so they were rock hard. He finally ripped his eyes from you when Severus reached over and lightly shook his shoulder.
"Yes, I'm ...I am fine. Sorry, she scared me a little when she jumped out here. I was just a little stunned." Lucius stuttered his way through his response.
"Oh please, Lucius there is no way she actually scared you. I think perhaps you are drunker than you let on!" Severus quipped.
Lucius was still starting at you. He was trying not to look at you, but he couldn't help it. You looked so adorable in Severus' half buttoned dress shirt and those emerald green socks. Your hair was in a messy bun, and even though you had come out brandishing your wand at them - you were far from menacing . He found your attempt at scaring off an intruder absolutely adorable. His cheeks began to turn light pink.
At this point Severus seemed to have noticed how odd Lucius was acting. Having had a few more pints than he should have himself, Severus hadn't realized until this moment how scantily clad you really were.
"Go back in the room!" Severus suddenly demanded as he walked over to the bedroom door, standing between you and Lucius. He positioned himself so he was blocking Lucius' view of you.
"I didn't mean to interrupt your date with Lucius!" You whispered to Severus. Your sarcastic tone was impossible to miss. Severus grabbed your shoulders and walked you backwards into the room, careful to keep your body blocked from view.
"Severus, what are you doing? Let go of me!" You whispered.
"Just get into the bedroom!" he implored.
"I'll be right back, Lucius...keep an eye on the cauldron!" Severus called over his shoulder.
"Good night, Lucius!" You said over Severus' shoulder as he pushed you into the room and closed the door.
"What is wrong?" You asked Severus.
"I didn't like the way he was looking at you! Why did you come out dressed like that?!" Severus snapped.
"Excuse me, but you are the one who scared me! I thought someone had broken into our chambers! I wasn't exactly thinking about my fashion choices!" You hissed. "I don't know why you are so upset...I am fully covered! Not to mention, Lucius would never..." your voice trailed off as Severus began to trace his fingers around your nipples. You shuttered at his gentle touch.
"You're freezing. Your nipples are probably visible from Hogsmeade in this white shirt." Severus joked.
"Lucius is my best friend, but lets not pretend that he hasn't always harbored feelings for you, even though I am confident he'd never act on them." Severus' hands found their way to your hips. He gripped your waist firmly and pulled you into him. "You are for my eyes only." Severus said sternly.
"If I had known Lucius was out there I wouldn't -" you tried to explain but Severus cut you off.
"I see that I'm going to have to remind you who you belong to!" Severus said with a mischievous grin on his face as he pushed you onto the bed playfully. A moment later a loud bang came from the living room.
"Oh. Merlin! The potion!" Severus sprinted out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. You could hear him arguing with Lucius in the living room about how he hadn't kept a close enough eye on the cauldron. You couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the purple potion exploding in Lucius' face.
You slipped Severus' dress shirt off over your head and took the emerald green socks off. You threw the blanket over yourself and laid back on your pillow , eagerly waiting for Severus to return.
