Rewrite The Stars - {Severus Snape x Reader}

Heart beating fast, I watch how Yaxley tugged his sleeves a bit, as in he's about to get down to business. "Now, I won't promise this won't hurt, but... You'll get used to it. Eventually." he let out a low chuckle at the end. The sand crunches underneath his fancy shoes as he approached me. No. The other person behind him quietly took out his own wand by sliding it smoothly from inside his sleeve to his palm. Suddenly, a bunch of witches and wizards appears from thin air where the others are fighting for their dear lives. This made Yaxley and his companion quickly turn their heads over their shoulders to see what's going on. Aurors!! They are here to detain the Death Eaters! There must be at least five of them.

In seconds, I pull back my focus from the Dark Wizards catchers, draw the wand to use this brief opportunity to untie the rope around my legs and shoot it right at Yaxley - so the rope snatches him by the neck and he falls down with it. "Wh..-?!" he managed to gargle and gets slammed to the ground. This alert the other one who's done nothing, but stand there so far, and I won't waste any second and shoot them - but they block my attempt. Damn it. As quickly as I can, I start shooting other spells at him and get off the ground at the same time. After getting the balance right, I start taking small steps back every few seconds. Each of my attempt gets blocked in calm manner. Come on... Either the spells gets tossed to aside or slammed to the ground. Bullocks. But I won't give up and only increase the tempo of sending more flashing lights.

When the Death Eater finally bounces back one of the spells directly my way, I use Protego and the shield creates this brief air wave, so the small loose ends of my broken hairdo floats. During this brief pause, with small gesture the masked man tilted his head a bit, almost as in he'd be asking 'is that all you got?'. I gritted my teeth and the grip around the wand tightened. This person's arrogant calmness is really pissing me off! Just then, Yaxley's struggling noises to get the rope off around his neck caught the Death Eater's attention. There is a small pause. Hesitation, almost. Like he's debating if he should help the ally or not. Which slightly came as surprise for me. Then again, these guys have no morality, so no wonder if they wouldn't even help each other out.

As his focus is on Yaxley, with the corner of my eye, I see someone peeking behind one of the halfly destroyed food stalls on my left. It's a Muggle - a man in his forties. Terrified what's happening. Seems he has hidden after the shooting started and is now uncertain what to do. Oh, no. I need to help him to escape. Somehow. I need a little assistant. With that in mind, I cast a spell one of the empty beer barrels that is laying around nearby, and toss it right at the debating Death Eater. Just in time, the enemy turned to see how the barrel is coming towards him and breaks it in mid-air with his wand. During those same seconds, I have used this opportunity to dash to the Muggle, so now I am out of the Death Eaters sight.

The man flinched after I hunched down with him for cover:"Ah..! P-please, d-don't hurt me.". I quickly lift up my hand as a sign of him to stay quiet - that I'm not a threat, and whispered:"I'm not! I'm..- I'm here to help, to get you out of here.". The man keeps shaking. And no wonder. He has just witnessed multiple people being attacked by the masked strangers... Talk about seeing spells being shot left and right, destroying the whole place. This is bad. I glance over the shoulder to watch our surroundings. We could sneak up through those two stalls, then run to th..- Suddenly, the Muggle pushed me by the shoulders, and I first fall on my bum, then partly on my back, so my elbows caught me in last second. Wha..-?!

It happens so fast; the Muggle got consumed by fear - not trusting anyone, so he decided to push me aside and make a run for it towards the official exit of the festival. "Wait..!!" I gasped without thinking and extended an arm to grab him, but he's already gone too far. And just like that, one of the many Death Eaters happened to hear my voice over the other fighting noises and took a glance over their shoulder, only to see the man running, and pointed their wand at him:"Avada Kedavra!". Immediately, a flash of green light shoots from the wand and... The man falls down. Completely out of it. Dead. My (e/c) eyes widen out of pure shock and I inhale sharply as I watched the man's body laying on the ground. It got so quiet in my ears, which soon gets replaced by this high pitched noise that increases by every passing second. No...

I've never seen anyone using the Killing Curse before. Talk about this close... Was it... My fault? All of sudden, I feel so small and powerless. When I finally realize to breath again, the reality sank in and all of the noises became clear. I need to get out of he..- In that second, I lifted my head up - only to see the masked man I fought just two minutes ago, staring down on me through the metal mask that seems to be way more terrifying than before. Looking all huge and intimidating. NO-! With fear in my heart, I wanted to scream, but instead I swung the wand in my hand, so the whole stall gets off the ground and flips towards the enemy and he gets slammed with it, and crushed under it few meters away. Without missing a beat, I got up and started running.

Only now Yaxley gets to rip off the rope around his neck that has been strangling him. With gritted teeth, fury in his eyes, he sees me running and without breaking the deathly glare, he turned into the black smoke and shoots up in the air. Since there is no chance for me to get out of here through the official exit, I need to find another way out of here! But whe..- A spell whooshes by and blasts one of the light poles near to my head. "AH!!" I yelp, but keep on running. It was Yaxley, who has now landed and is after some blood. His pride has been bruised, and he wants to get revenge on it. The one who got slammed with the food stall raised himself on his elbows and pushed some of the wooden pieces to aside, silently cursing under his breath. When he finally cleared the way, he saw me running away from Yaxley further away.

After another curse gets shot, I hide yet again behind another stall. A stall that is filled with different kinds of handmade plates and cups for people to buy. Chest going up and down fast, I try to gather my thoughts and calm down the heart. The noises of others fighting echoes all the way this side of the area. Seems like Aurors are having difficult time to detain Death Eaters. Yaxley keeps on walking, trying to stay quiet to find me. (Y/N), focus. If you don't get yourself together - like, right now - he's going to kill you! And that would mean... Aunt-Ruby would blame herself for bringing me here for rest of her life. William would blame himself for not being able to protect because he's a Muggle. And..- Severus. The image of him made a quick visit in my mind and I shut my eyes tight for a second.

Then, I opened them, do a sharp exhale through the nose, shoot up and cast the spell right at the man:"Stupefy!!". Unfortunately, Yaxley managed to block right in the last second, and sends another one back, but I dodge it by going back in hide. For a minute or two, things around us gets blasted and broken after we keep sending different kinds curses at each other. Little by little, Yaxley is starting to struggle keeping up with me. Good. Finally, I get satisfying aim and he gets tossed backwards. "Yes!" I exclaimed, but immediately after that four more Death Eaters flies in and won't even miss a beat and starts blasting at my way. "Ah..-!!" I screamed and went down. This slight pain stung went through my right side - right under the rib, but got no time to pay any attention to it. Not now.

Each and one of the cups and plates explodes and gets completely destroyed every two seconds as I'm now laying on my stomach on the ground - some of the pieces falls on me. The sound of the spells and curses hitting fills up my ears and it's hard to think. Only the panic raises in me and I can't seem to figure out what to do! Crawl, (Y/N). Crawl! Only does now two of the Aurors notice how some of the Death Eaters are gathered around this specific stall. They try quickly wrap it up what they've been doing, so they can come here to save me. Meanwhile, I began to crawl - hoping to get somewhere. Anywhere. Away from here. When suddenly - someone grabs me by the ankle and the blood from my face escapes as my head snaps right to look who just grabbed me:"Huh?!". It's the Death Eater I smashed the food stall with! He's also laying on the ground like me. As if he's hiding from the others as well. But from my perspective, he looks like a hunting savage, staring its prey through the mask. How did he managed to sneak up on me like that?!

"No!" I screamed through the loud noise and tried to kick him - but for vain. Again, this sting goes through me like few moments ago and I wince from the pain. The Death Eater used this opportunity and quickly yanked my leg, giving himself a boost to jump on top of me. "AH!!" I managed to roll myself on my back just before his whole weight landed on top of me. Confused and scared, it felt like I forgot all the spells in this whole wide world, all I did was to try to push him off of me. But no. He has glued himself against me by wrapping his arms around my body, so the wand gets trapped between our chests. "Get off..!!" my voice started to crack through bravery. Just then, I hear how the Aurors jumped in to help by casting spells at the other Death Eaters. Then, I felt how the one on top of me squeezing our bodies together. Wha..-?! My (e/c) eyes widen out of worry, and..- 'Whshop-!' We vanish.
