Protective (Severus x Reader)
It was the first meeting you'd been brought into since Dumbledore hade recruited you into the Order of the Pheonix. You were a skilled and powerful mage and close to your fellow Hogwarts teachers. (One in particular)
You'd spent most of the meeting sitting beside Severus, listening to plans being made and getting a read on the others around the room. Severus was tense beside you, so you moved your hand under the table to find his and link your fingers together, offering him what support you could in a room full of people.
After the meeting, you and Severus were among the first to excuse yourselves to head home. As some of the others said goodbye to each other, you took the chance to approach the man with dark curly hair who was standing near the wall talking with Arthur Weasley.
“So, you’re Sirius Black.” You said, standing in front of him. He smiled at you, dialling up the charm and smiling a sickly-sweet smile, “Indeed I am. A pleasure to meet you."
You smiled darkly, and before he could react he was stumbling back against the wall, his jaw aching from where your fist had collided with his face. You turned sharply and headed towards the door, where Severus was stood staring at you. “Good night, everyone.” You called out as you took Severus’s arm and the two of you headed out the door.

Severus hadn’t said much as you both apparated outside the castle and made your way inside. As soon as you’d shut and locked the door to your chambers, he gathered you up in his arms and kissed you deeply. When you broke apart for need of air, Severus pulled back a bit and gazed at you. His intense onyx eyes looked awed and incredulous at the same time. “You punched Black in the face.” He said.
You brought your hands up to rest on his chest, “Of course I did.” You said, smiling gently at him, “No-one hurts you and gets away with it.” You leant up and kissed him gently before stepping back and walking further into the living room.
You hadn’t gone more than a few steps when you were grabbed. Your yelp of surprise turning into a giggle as Severus hoisted you over his shoulder and carried you to the bedroom.
