~Severus~
I just couldn't do it. Not with her being that beautiful and lovely. It would cause too much of a distraction for me.
Dumbledore: Why ever not? You two seemed to get along fine.
Me: That's just it. We get along too fine. She is too...
Dumbledore: Beautiful, wonderful, and lovely?
I sighed.
Me: She will cause a distraction. I already have the boy to worry about now I have a to watch a grown woman too?
Dumbledore: No. Just protect her when the time comes. I have a feeling that if Voldemort returns then not only will the boy would be in danger but her as well. He might take away her power himself or worse. I just can't help but worry. I'm speaking not only as a member of the order but as a father as well Severus. I just want my little baby bird safe.
Me: I'm sorry. I just can't. Find someone else to do it.
Then I turned around and left.
September 1, 1989
~Mirabella~
I was in the Great Hall sitting next to Proffessor Snape and father. Aunt Minevera's seat was empty because she always greets the new 1st years and leads them here. I smiled as I saw her come through the large doors with 11-12 year old children in two straight lines right behind her. Dad then rose up to give his opening speech. I ignored some of it until he mentioned new staff.
Dad: As you can see this room is much bigger than it usually is. That is because, starting this year we have new staff. This new staff is not only resoursefull to you but us as well. We have counceliers/theropists this year. The ministry wanted all schools to start this program because having magical powers can have dangerous consequences so to talk about any of your troubles or hopes and dreams you may talk to them. They will not tell anyone what goes on during your sessions. Now I will introduce them to you.
I ignored him more until he said...
Dad: And last but not least the one and only Professor Mirabella Dumbledore.
Every student in the room gasped and was talking amongist themselves.
Dad: I know you must be wondering why does she have my last name. Well, as you may not guess...she is infact my daughter.
Everyone gasped and one boy who had another one just like him raise his hand. Dad adressed him.
Boy: Well...if there are two Professor Dumbledores then how are we to adress which is which.
Dad: That is a good point my dear boy. Well most of you adress me as Professor Dumbledore but from now on adress me as Headmaster Dumbledore. She will be adressed as Professor Dumbledore. I thank you for asking that. Anything to add Mirabel?
He put a hand on my shoulder.
Me: Not a thing father. Please begin with the sourting. I bet everyone is hungry right?
Everyone laughed and the sourting came and went without a hoot. I noticed those two red headed twins were both in Griffindor. It matched them to perfection. I then began to eat my dinner.
~Severus~
As I ate I couldn't hep but make glances at Mirabella. I noticed that every time she had five fork fulls of food she would always have a sip of pumpkin juice. As I saw her lift her cup to her rosy red colored lips that looked so darn kissable she took a sip ans she stook out her pink toungue and licked her lips because some of the juice dripped. Oh god my heart began to race. I turned back to continue to eat my meal. I ate but I turned back to see her take a fork ful of mashed potatos and gravy and ate it. It took all of my self control of not to move at all and continued to eat.
After closing remarks everyone went to their commen rooms. I was doing my night shift patrol and noticed that the two boys that were twins from Griffindor talking to Mira at the end of a staircase. They told her a joke and a beautiful sound came out of her mouth. Her laugh. It was music to my ears and I wanted nothing more than to be the one making her laugh but alas everytime I see her or the mere mention of her I grow weak to my knees. Oh great. Now I sound like a hormonal teenager with a crush. But I am not and do not have one. It just something about her that is making me soft. Maybe its because of her magic. IF itt is then she must know. I began to try to penitrate her mind but I can not. Her barriors are strong. Too strong. I can tell she was well taught in occlumency. She didn't even bother to turn around like she doesn't even feel it. I don't know how much longer can I resist her. She is just so beautiful and she is haunting my mind.
Mirabella: Alright boys I believe its time for bed. Goodnight Fred and George Weasly.
Twins: Goodnight Professor.
So then they took the stairs up to go to their commen room. I then noticed her looking at her surroundings and then said
Mirabella: I know you are there.
Impossible. I was barely breathing at all and didn't make a sound so I came out of the shadows so she can see me. She gave me a smile as I grew closer.
Mirabella: Good evening Professor. Are you doing your nightly rounds?
Me: I was then your godmother took over. So now I am heading to bed. Why are you out this time of night?
Mirabella: I was coming back from the kitchens to have a midnight snack when I caught two Griffindors trying to find a bathroom since the one in their commen room was still flooded by Peeves this morning.
Me: Understandable.
She then looked around again.
Mirabella: This might be a silly thing to ask but...would you mind walking me to my room?
My eyes widened.
Mirabella: I know that the castle is safe its just that I hate walking through places at night alone.
I took her hand and kissed it.
Me: Of course not. It is not silly at all. I would have done it regardless since it is ungentleman like to leave a lady unattended and your father would have my head if something happened to you.
She shook her head and we started to walk down the stairs to the dungens. When we got there she was quiet.
Mirabella: Well...goodnight Professor.
Me: ...Severus.
She turned to me in confusion.
Mirabella: I'm sorry?
Me: Call me Severus. We are collegues and friends so you have the privillage to call me by my first name.
Mirabella: Alright Severus. Goodnight.
Me: Goodnight Mira.
I kissed her hand once again and she then went inside and shut the door. I quickly went into my own room and changed into my night clothes and went to sleep having the most wonderful dream I've had in years.
