I sat down at the head`s table waiting for the sorting ceremony.
I sat down beside Professor Sinistra my mentor and Severus Snape, the greasiest, meanest teacher at Hogwarts.
He also happened to be the man I love.

You see it all happened a few years ago when my best friends Penny who is now a member of the Chudley Cannons quiddtich team and Daniel who is now married to one of my other friends Suzie.
Anyways they bet me I couldn`t seduce him in the next five years. That was three years ago.

What happened was I had begun to fall for him. We became good friends until christmas last year.
I had run in to thank him and then I kissed him and after that kiss I realized I loved him. More then life itself.
He shunned me away and I was broken.

He had comforted me when my mum went missing and stayed with me after that.
I was sure he loved me.
But now I am here and I still have two years for me to either lose or gain two hundred galleons.
But I also have to win back his heart.

Once the sorting was finished the feast began.
It was delicious as always. Once dessert came around I had chocolate pie.
When I bit into it I groaned in satisfaction. This was the best tasting pie I ever had.

I heard a throat clear beside me. I looked to see Severus shuffle uncomfortably in his seat.

"Are you okay sir?" I asked.

"Fine just not feeling well. If you`ll excuse me" He got up and left without another word.
I looked towards the other teachers. Dumbledore winked at me knowingly. I blushed.

Once the feast was over we all returned to our respective rooms.
I stayed up for a bit and used the telescope that Severus had bought for me last christmas.

I took notes on the stars and patterns and finally went to bed.

The next morning I woke up thanking whoever was up there that today was Saturday.

I took extra time in the shower and getting ready.
Once I was done I headed into the great hall for some breakfast.

There weren`t many students up. And only a few teachers Severus being one of them.

"Good Morning Professors" I said as I sat down.

"Morning Sonny" McGonagall said. "You know now that you are part of the staff you can call us by our first names"

"Okay" I shrugged. I began putting some fruit on plate and began eating.

"Professor McGona... I mean Minerva how does an apprenticship usually work?"

"Well Aurora will let you teach some classes, most of them you`ll observe and you will be doing some hands on work as well as written research"

"I see. Thank you"

"No problem" I smiled at her and continued eating.

I turned to Severus. "Sir are you happy that you got the Defence against the dark arts position?"
The staff that was there were a little surprised that I would ask that question.

"Yes" He simply said.

"Well congradulations" I said and turned back to my meal. Once I finished my meal I left and went back to my rooms.

When I got inside I found a note on my bed. It had the ministry official seal. I quickly grabbed it.

It read:

Miss Munroe,
We regret to inform you that the ministry has decided to stop it`s search on your mother.
We tried our best but was unsuccessful. Hope you are well.

Frieda Cornish Department of Lost Witches and Wizards

I collapsed onto my bed. They were stopping the search? Why? It was so unfair.
But why should they continue it? She could be dead for all we know. I ended up crying myself to sleep.

It was dark when I woke up.
My stomach growled in protest from lack of food.
I tossed my hair into a ponytail and walked to the kitchens.

Once I got in a house elf came up to me.

"Miss Sonny how may Winky help you?"

"Could I have some salad or something? Please" I said.

"Yes one moment" She ran off and came back a few seconds with a tray that had a salad, some water and a sandwhich.

"Thank you Winky you are very kind" She smiled and went off.

I turned around and walked into something or someone dropping all of my things and falling to the floor.

"Miss Munroe sneaking into the kitchens again?" It was the voice that I dreamed about and the one that had tortured me.

"Good evening Severus" I said.
