Four years later
"Mona, bring me some unicorn hair!" Sev called from his classroom. I turned before calling back; "Coming!"
I rushed in to him, where he were making a potion for the headmaster. I gave him the ingredant, and expecting no reply, leaned against the wall so I could watch hi
m over his shoulder. After a few moments, he glared up at me. "Why do you insist on doing that?" He hissed.
I shrugged. "Maybe because you're the closest thing to a friend I have here!"
He made no reply, but I had known him long enough to tell that my comment pleased him. Me and Sev were a lot alike, including the fact that we both seemed to repel
People. It really didn't bother me, as I thought everyone was annoying, but somehow Snape didn't annoy me as much.
"Going to Hogsmade this weekend, Professer?" I asked smugly. He sighed, knowing that I would ask this every time the students were dismissed to go there. "No Mona,
I have papers to do." I smirked, knowing that he was not going to get out of this one. "I recall, you asked me to grade those paper's eairler today."
Sev reddened, and tried to shrug it off. "I told you that I don't like going there when the students are there." I rolled my eyes. "You are going to come with me and have
a little fun." I demanded. Sev sighed. "Fine." I smiled, a rare thing for me. "Good. Dumbledore hasn't let me out of the castle since I arrived here."
Sev raised his eyebrow at this. "Not in the five years you've been here?" I shrugged. "No, but there was the one time I saw a quittage match." I admitted.
Sev smirked. "Why is the old man so paranoid about you're father." I winced, he had hit a soft spot. I chose to hide my weakness by narrowing my eyes.
"Why are you so obsessed with Lilly?" He winced and stared at his potion. "None of you're buisness." He spat. I merly laughed at this. "Oh, Sev, you can't love a woman who is dead."
Sev stiffened at this. "Who told you I loved Lilly?" He demanded. I laughed. "You just did." I told him, before turning away. I had once found a photo of her in his desk, and
using my powers of observation, concluded that he once loved her.
Sev silently cursed himself, and I stayed put, hoping he would elaborate. After a moment of silence, he did so.
"Lilly and I were childhood friends. I had a bit of a crush on her in school, but things fell apart after I called her a mudblood." His explanation was simple, yet it was
enough.
"Now tell me why Dumbledore doesn't want your parents to find you?" I stiffened, then sighed. One secret for another. "Let's just say... my father would go to great
lengths to find me if he knew I was alive." I allowed myself to say. Sev didn't push, but simply contained that as enough.
"I'm going to get ready for the first years." I whispered, not knowing what to say. I hoped he would get to know me as I am before he found out who my father and
mother for the matter, is.
