Snape's POV (read in his voice)

As I lay gazing at my cardboard cut out of Lily, I have this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. It feels like that summer day long ago sitting under the sun with my one true love. I hadn't felt feelings in over 10 years, so what is going on?
    I look over to that green apple sitting in the pile of various things I've confiscated from students. Out of nowhere I had a strong urge to reach out and stroke the mysterious fruit. I'm not normally one to express emotion so this did give me quite the fright.
     The first day of school this year I recognized Malfoy carrying that same fruit, and that was over two months ago. Malfoy's whole time being in Hogwarts I'd kept a close eye on him, being so close to Lucius and all, but never before had I seen him act the way he did around that Apple.  He would keep it close at all times, always touching it, always staring at it. If I hadn't known better I'd say he was in love with the fruit but how could that be? Draco had been a mentally stable child his whole life (give or take a few instances) so I do not understand why he would act like this...
unless...
    I set the apple on the table and light a candle, illuminating the bright skin in the otherwise dark room. I test a few spells, dip of few samples into potions and sure enough it has been cursed. Although this was a strange curse, not one I recognized at all. It was definitely dipped in a love potion of some sorts but there was an additional curse set on it, something far beyond my abilities let alone those of a student. This was no schoolyard prank. This was dark magic and extremely dangerous, luckily I had recognized it before I fell victim to the curse. I had to bring this to Dumbledore immediately, we don't know what other student could be at risk. I grab my shoes to head to his office but then... I get sidetracked.
   I just couldn't help myself. I hadn't had romantic feelings in longer than i'd like to admit. I was just in the middle of a tea party with apple, having lighthearted conversation when a knock came from the door. I cursed under my breath and came to my senses. What was I doing? Focus Severus! I quickly hid my sun hat and apron under my bed and sprang up to answer the door.
"Professor?"
"what"
"I need to see app-"
"petrificus totalus"
It's even worse than I thought. It had only been about an hour since I took that sexy sexy apple into my hands, meaning Draco couldn't even stand that long away from it. Nay, her. Christ, even I was falling under the spell. I had to get that apple to Dumbledore as soon as possible. Draco stood frozen in the doorway and I pushed past him, apple in hand. I sped down the hallway, my hair whipping in the wind like john wick or something. I was a man on a mission.
   5 minutes later I was at the door.
"Sherbet Lemon" I struggled to say, out of breath.
The door swung open and I rushed in the office
"Albus!"
He turned over to me and his eyes went wide when he saw what was in my hand.
"Severus how did..."
And in the blink of an eye I was unconscious on the floor.
