A few weeks have passed and we here still not talking. At first it bothered me a lot but now I'm kinda used of it. I tried to talk to him but withouth any success. On the other hand, Remus and I became closer by each day. He was a really nice guy and a great friend.

We where walking around the grounds when I heard my name being called,

"Professor Stark.", Snape said in a lazy voice . . .nothing new here.

We turned around, "Yes?"

"You have visitors.", the moment he finished his sentence, he turned around and walked away.

"Visitors?", I asked out loud.

"Do you have any idea who could it be?", Remus asked me.

"No, not really.", I answered the question as we started to walk towards the castle.

"My team is not to arrive for a few more days so I really have no clue."

We entered the castle and I realized that Snape didn't really tell me where was my visitor waiting.

"Where do I look?", I turned confused towards Remus.

"Great Hall? Or no, no . . .your office."

I smiled, "Good idea."

He smiled back and bowed a little, "Always at your service."

I giggled, "Well, I'll better be going. See you at dinner?"

"I have additional classes with a few students so I'm not sure I'll make it to dinner but how about a drink around eight?"

"Additional classes? Friday afternoon? Wow you are weird."

He laughed "Well, it's not my call so . . ."

"Oh . . .well, okay. Drink after."

He nodded and we separated.

As I was walking towards my office, I kept wondering who could it be. I turned around the corner, towards the hall where my class was but I didn't see anyone.

Maybe Snape let them in?

I grabbed the doorknob and tried to open the door but it was locked.

"I knew I locked the door.", I said out loud.

"Is there a problem professor?", I heard a house elf ask.

"Tabby, did you see someone here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Was someone looking for me or waiting for me?"

He shook his head. "No. I saw you after class, locking the door and after a few hours professor Snape."

"Oh . . .well, thank you."

"Is there a problem professor?", he asked a bit concerned.

I gave him a small smile, "No, no. Everything is okay."

He nodded, "Okay then. Have a nice day professor."

"Same.", and with that he disappeared.

Professor Snape? Well, his office is in this hallway.

After giving it some thoughts, i decided to go and ask him.

I stepped in front of his classroom and took a deep breath before knocking.

I heard a lazy enter so I pushed the door open.

He was sitting at his table, grading papers.

I cleared my troth and he raised his head from the paper he was grading, towards me.

"Good evening professor.", I tried to be polite.

"What do you want?", he wasn't.

"I was wondering who visited me . . .I can't find the person."

He got back to his grading, "Then probably the person left."

No shit Sherlock.

I smiled, "Yes . . .that's obvious."

He didn't say anything, just continued with his work.

"But can you tell me who it was?", I tried again.

"I don't know.", he simply said.

Is this a joke?!

"What?", I frowned, getting a little pissed.

"I said, I don't know."

I sighed, "What is your problem with me."

He stopped writing, looked at me and took his glasses of.

"Excuse me?", he raised an eyebrow.

"I asked, what is your problem with me? I just want to know who was here to see me and since you where the only person that saw him, logically, I will ask you the information I need."

He stood up, crossing his arms, "It was a man. Probably your boyfriend or husband."

"I don't have either of them. So it was a man?"

"Exited?"

What the Hell is wrong with this man?!

"Excuse me?", I raised my voice a bit.

"Well, you seemed pretty exited by the fact that a man visited you.", his voice was calm . . .provocative.

"Because there's a chance that my brother came! What the Hell is the matter with you?"

His face became serious and he took a few steps towards me, "I would suggest you watch your tone-"

"Or what? You're gonna kiss me again and then avoid me and pretend like nothing happened? I can take that."

I could tell that I hit the spot. He wasn't ready for this.

"I think it's time you leave my classroom professor.", his voice was low but sharp.

"I didn't expect any other answer form you.", I turned around and slammed the door behind. I was soooo pissed.

I went to my room, put on a jacket and exited the castle. My mind was rushing so fast that I didn't noticed the snow falling . . .or Hagrid . . .and Hagrid is big.

"Wow, easy there professor. Where's the fire?"

"In Snapes classroom if I stay any longer near that castle.", I frowned.

"He really can hit a nerve. Wanna come with me and have some tea? You could tell me what happened."

I smiled, "Thank you Hagrid, I would be pleased."

"Well then, come on. It's getting cold out here."


After I had some tea with Hagrid and a nice cup of chat too, I rushed back towards the castle. The snow was really starting to fall now and dinner was almost ready. I rushed towards the Great Hall and on the was I saw Hermione . . .but she was alone.

"Good evening professor Stark.", she smiled sweetly.

I returned the smile, "Good evening to you too Hermione. Where are Harry and Ron?"

"Detention with Snape. They will be a bit late."

"Detention? What did they do?", I asked curiously.

"They where sorted in Griffindor . . .mostly that . . .but nothing really. He was just particularly angry today."

I raised an eyebrow, "Really? When?"

"An hour ago or so."

That's when we had the fight. So I did hit a nerve!"

I smirked a bit but when I saw Hermione's weird look, I stopped.

"Well, I hope you enjoy your meal."

She smiled, "You too professor."

I nodded and walked towards the table for teachers.

I sat down beside Minerva, who smiled to me and I smiled back. After a few minutes, I saw Snape enter the Great Hall. He took a seat next to me but didn't say anything. We ate in silence. Twenty minutes later, I was full. As I was raising from my seat, I saw Remus wave at me from the other side of the great hall. I quickly cleaned myself and rushed towards him.

"So, who was your secret visitor?", he asked curiously

"I have no idea.", I said as we started to walk.

"What do you mean?"

"When I came in front of my office, nobody was there. I saw an house elf and asked him about it but he told me he didn't see anyone."

"Did you check in the classroom?"

"The door was locked.", I stated.

"Did you ask Snape?", he looked at me and I smirked,

"Now for that story, I first have to order some bear."

He smiled, "Well, of we go then!"
