Chapter 1 Graduation (Stella's POV)
The Great Hall was unbelievably loud that night. The seventh years were the reason for this. We just graduated and were all taking this final chance to be together.
I left my group of friends at the Gryffindor table and went to find my very best friend, Severus Snape. Snape was a Slytherin, which struck me as somewhat odd, because he wasn't evil or anything. Of course maybe that Sorting Hat knew something that I didn't. (Foreshadowing if I ever knew it!)
I knew Severus would be outside by the lake. We would always hangout there. It was where we first met, my brother and his gang of friends were antagonizing him and I intervened. That's how we became friends, he overlooked my brother's constant attempts to hex and embarrass him in anyway that they could and I overlooked the constant ridicule of being made fun of for our friendship.
That wasn't hard to do because the connection we had with each other. I was the only one willing to be nice to him and he was the only one to understand me.
"What are you doing down here Sev?" I asked, coming closer to the tree he was under.
"Waiting, I didn't want to be up there and I knew that you'd come looking for me eventually."
"Are you alright?" I asked, walking closer to him and sitting down.
"Not really. I did something stupid." He said, showing her his forearm. The pale skin was now branded with a dark tattoo.
"SEVERUS SNAPE!" I shouted at him. Normally I just called him Sev, so the use of his full name made him cringe. "Oh you can stand becoming a Death Eater, but I use your full name and you're frightened? Why did you do this Sev? What would possess you!" I shouted, trying to hold back tears.
"There's more to this than I can let you know right now. Some day I'll tell you everything. As for right now all I can tell you is that I love you and to be careful." Then he gave me a kiss and disapparated.
"Miss Potter?" Asked a voice from behind me.
"Professor McGonagall." I said turning around after I brushed the tears away from my face.
"Professor Dumbledore just informed me of what Snape has decided to do. Are you alright dear?"
"I will be... some day." I said borrowing Sev's words.
"Come on Stella." She said, taking me back inside. Someday...
