Severus walked through the deserted corridor, his long robes billowing behind him from the forceful wind caused by his fast pace. He was heading towards Dumbledore's office, for once again the Headmaster needed to talk to him about 'a matter of importance'.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, something or rather someone bumped into him, pushing him back slightly and nearly making him lose his balance. He couldn't tell who this person was but saw that they were falling backwards aswell, but they were about to fall so he quickly grabbed one of the wrists that flew forward and pulled them up rather roughly.

''Watch were you're-'' he growled before stopping. Taking a look at the individual in front of him, he saw that it was a woman. She was dressed in a black blazer and a tight pencil skirt the same colour, that started just above her waist and ended below her knees. A silk white blouse was tucked into the skirt and three pearl buttons kept it fastened, with the top half showing off her pale skin and collar bone. Locked around her neck was a long silver chain that traveled all the way down her chest, but the end was hidden inside the blouse. Moving his gaze lower, he saw the plain black heels she wore and turned his head upwards to face her. A jet black fedora, ontop of her dark chocolate brown curls, covered half her pale face and he could just make out her glare towards him through her dark brown eyes.

''Had a good look yet?'' her crimson lips spoke bitterly, and she snatched her wrist from his grasp. Before he could reply, she brushed past him and strode around the corner he just came from and disappeared.

Anger and humiliation filled up inside him and he cursed himself for staring and hoped to never set eyes on this mysterious woman again.

Little did he know...
