FLASHBACK - EVENING OF THE DEPARTURE DAY
Severus sat down at the Head table where he sat near his Slytherin table so that he could keep an eye on his Snakes plus his newer snakes that were about to be sorted.
The Sorting Hat gave its annual sorting rhyme before he started sorting out the new first years.
"Welcome to Hogwarts the first years and welcome back to the other years." Minevera carried on giving her start of term speech to the whole school.
Severus tuned her out and stared out into space daydreaming about his night that he spent last night.
He was missing Hermione.
Lucius Malfoy walked through the Great Hall doors and walked up to Severus and sat down next to him.
"I have cleared you from your duties over the weekend. You my friend are going away from here, my treat as you did me a favour and filled in for me last minute." Lucius told his friend.
"Lucius please I'm not interested in what you have planned for me. Just leave me alone." Severus turned back to his dinner that was going cold.
"Severus after all of the hard work that I have done to get you the weekend off and find someone for you. You throw it back in my face! I feel insulted." Lucius pouted.
"Ok what have you got planned?" Severus turned and faced Lucius.
"You are going to so love what I have planned for you."
Lucius had called for Mizzy to bring him Severus's overnight bag with clothes in for two days stay along with some classy clothes. Mizzy held out to her master his bag.
"Havez a goodz timez Mazter Zeveruz." Mizzy popped away.
"This portkey will take you to a lobby of a wizarding hotel. Just tell them who you are and then they will give you the key to the room that I have booked. You can also order room service as I have also put on a tab for you. Plus you are to go to this address that I am giving to you and you are to be there before 8pm, or you will miss out. So arrive early to the venue. Ok then Severus enjoy yourself." Lucius quickly explained to Severus as they walked out into the Main Entrance of Hogwarts.
He passed the portkey over and said the activation code. 'Hermione'.
"Welcome to the Hilton Hotel in New York. Do you have a reservation?" The hotel receptionist asked.
"Yes I'm Severus Snape, I think my…"
"Oh yes Lord Malfoy told us that you were arriving. You have the penthouse suite on the 23rd floor. I will get you a bellhop to show you to your room that you will be staying in for the weekend. Will there be anything else Mr Snape?" The receptionist butted in.
"Yes, I need a taxi to take me to this address. I need to get there before 8pm tonight." Severus told the woman.
"Yes sir, a taxi will be out front awaiting for you around 7.15pm. It's a bit of travel to this venue but you should make it there. Have a nice night Mr Snape." The receptionist rang the bell and one of the bellhops came and escorted Severus to his room.
