*cough* the last part, was, um, AWESOME!!! lol, sorry but I liked it and yeah, I don't know if you all liked it cuz none of you told me and yeah, you guys hardly ever talk to me. I am going to pretend you all review. What can I say, I have high dreams. So yeah, me going with the flow here...

I looked up at the castle. Hogwarts hadn't changed at all. I think the rust was even the same color. Elizabeth walked up the steps and entered the hall. The ad said to meet in the Great Hall, where I would wait to talk with Dumbledore.

I entered the Hall and gasped. They was like, two other people there. I thought there would be at least a line or something. This was lame, well more like pathetic. But who am I to judge?

I walked over to a chair and sat down. They didn't even look up. They were both looking at what looked like the requirements. Trying to do last minute studying I guess. I looked at the ground and waited.

I was looking at my watch when someone else walked in. I looked up and froze. It was him. It was Snape...

*Snape POV*

I walked into the Great Hall, ready for anything. I had my form filled out and I was 100% sure that the job was mine. I just have to prove it to Dumbledore and the other hundred people who want the job.

I blinked when I saw that only three other people were in the Hall. I sat down, close to the door and looked at them. Two men were sitting together and were looking at their form. Looked a lot like last minute studying, how lame. I then looked at the women. She was looking at the ground and seemed uninterested in what was around her. She had red hair and peach skin. Her hair was curly and she looked familiar...

Where had I seen her? Was she a Death Eater? Was she in on our plans? I looked her over and then she looked up at me. Her eyes were green, a forest green and they were like ghosts from the past.

I knew who she was.

It was Elizabeth.

*Elizabeth POV*

why is he staring at me? Did he remember me? I hope he does, so when I kill him, he will know why. I was thinking of walking over to him and punch him, when Dumbledore entered the room.

"Good morning, sorry I am late. I will take one at a time, if you don't mind." the two men stood and walked over to Dumbledore and they left the Hall. Leaving me with... him.

I glanced at Snape. I didn't call him Silver anymore, cuz that was a nice name.

"How you doing?" I asked. Why am I talking to this creep? I should be killing him, this is my chance...

"Good and you?"

"Ok."

There was a long silence.

"What position are you going for?" asked Snape, sitting up straighter in his chair.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts." I said, he nodded.

"Me too."

Long silence.

"How is Shakira and Maria?"

"Fine. Maria is in Egypt, studying their history. Shakira is living at home, taking care of the twins." why am I telling him this?

"Shakira has twins?" asked Snape. I nodded.

"They are Sam's kids." I said. He raised a brow.

"Mother arranged the marriage. They got divorced when Shakira found out she was pregnant. So, yeah, the twins are about 6 months old now."

"Really? She must still be getting over the divorce then." said Snape, I laughed.

"She got over that the day they filed the papers. Sam was a drunk and an idiot."

"That's too bad, Shakira was always a good person. She didn't deserve him." said Snape, I nodded.

He sounded like he cared. Why is that? He must be trying to build himself up or something...

"How is everything in your life." I asked him.

"Like I said, everything is good with me. I graduated from Hogwarts, did some odd jobs and now I am here, waiting for the job of my dreams."

I nodded. Yeah, he always wanted to be a teacher. How could I forget that.

"So what have you done with your life?" said Snape. The jerk...

" I have done fine, I worked at a few elementary schools, teaching kindergarten and lately I have been looking for a new job. Something more interesting."

He nodded his head. He didn't look at that into what to what I was saying.

"So..." I said. He nodded. I smiled and looked at the floor.

"So what has it been, ten or so years since we were in our seventh year." I said. He nodded.

"Yeah, eight years." he said. I nodded and looked at the floor.

(Long silence, that was very uncomfortable)

I glanced at Snape's face, he was staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I said. He shrugged.

"I haven't seen you in eight years, yet you look then same as when you were sixteen. But now, you're like 24, right?"

"Yes, thanks." I said. Was that a good thing? Why is he all 'you're like 24', no ding I'm 24. So is he, the whatever he is, I'll go with drip stick.

"That is a good thing, by the way." said Snape. I nodded.

"You haven't changed much either." I said. He nodded. He really hadn't, his hair was longer though, like how he used to have it before I turned it pink. He was taller and his skin was still pale. But all in all, he looked the same. The same old Severus Snape from Hogwarts.

Silence and I stared at the floor.

Ok, I have nothing more to say to this creep. Nothing at all. Rip. Nothing. Not a single thing.

"I heard your father got re-married." I said. He nodded.

"Yeah, during our sixth year but he got married again, about two months later." I nodded, this was a lame conversation.

I glared at the floor. When was Dumbledore going to get back? I really, really, want to KILL this guy and yeah, I feel like I am in box. He knows way too much about me. He was the only boyfriend I trusted enough to tell him everything. That is probably why I feel naked sitting here, which is weird cuz I haven't seen him in eight years yet nothing new really happened in my life. Only my many different boyfriends but yeah, everyone dates.

"You seeing anyone?" I asked. O my freaking merlin! Elizabeth why did you ask him that?

Snape looked up and shook his head.

"I don't have time to date. How about you?"

Crap. Now I have to talk about my failed relationships.

"I recently got asked by a fellow." I said. I don't have to tell him everything. Snape smiled.

"Congratulations."

"What?"

"You're engaged." said Snape. I laughed. Oops, did I make him think that. Snape gave me a look, like he knew I wasn't telling him something.

"I refused him. He wasn't right for me. I am not getting married. Nope, not me." I said, I felt almost sad having to say it out loud and with Snape, well I felt like crying now. Crap.

"I'm sure you will found the one." he said.

SHUT UP! You are the one! I only thought of you for the past eight years, wondering how you were and if you were with, that mystery guy. So why don't you say something that will tell me if you still like me or hate my freaking guts!!! GOSH!!! Why don't you listen to me!!!

"Thanks." I said, looking back at the floor.

"I asked a girl to marry me once." said Snape. I stared at him. I thought he said...

"You said you didn't have time to date, let alone ask someone to marry you."

Snape grinned.

"I did still have a life, you know."

I rolled my eyes and nodded. He grinned and leaned back in his chair.

"She worked at one of my jobs. She was a brunette and had these gorgeous brown eyes. We were together for almost a year when I asked her."

"And?"

"She didn't love me, I guess. She was dating some other guy at the time and she said she liked him more. So I dropped that job and moved back home."

"That sucks." He gave me a look.

"Well, you got dumped for another guy and you found out when you were proposing to her. That must of been really hard."

"Just as hard as it is, when they tell you they don't love you." he said.

That jerk! He was talking about me and Steven! Grrr, I hate that he does that.

"Did you have to say that?" I asked.

"No, but it is hard to have your heart broken by a beautiful women you love."

what was that suppose to mean? Was he talking about his brunette or was he talking about me and Steven? He wasn't, I am sure, talking about us back in sixth year. Right?

We never did talk after we broke up, well, till now. We probably need to, talk about it I mean. Now that we are mature adults.

"We never did talk about-"

"Sorry to keep you waiting." said Dumbledore, walking in. Snape and I turned to look at him. He smiled.

"Those two didn't understand that only one of them would get the job. I think they were a couple but anyway, who is next?"

I looked at Snape and he nodded. So I stood up and walked out of the Great Hall and into a separate room.

There was two chairs, facing each other. Dumbledore sat down and I sat across form him.

"It is nice to see you, Elizabeth. How have you been?"

"Fine."

"I heard about Shakira and the twins. I am sure they are a handful." he laughed, I smiled.

"They are the cutest thing in the world though. Shakira loves being a mom."

"I am sure she is. She always seemed to like children and I did tell her that she would make a perfect Headmistress for Hogwarts. But I am a selfish, old man and would never leave the school alone."

I laughed.

"That may be a good thing you know." I said. He nodded.

"May I have your forms?" I nodded and handed them to him. He looked them over and smiled.

"You worked at a Muggle elementary school? Why do you know want to work here at Hogwarts?"

"I always wanted to teach magic, not a b c's."

he chuckled and I leaned back in my chair as he read the rest of the form.

"You have perfect scores in Defense. You're a natural, I know that. You know Ancient magic though, and I don't think you will be needing that."

He continued to read.

"All your employers say you were the best and lets see, you aren't married."

He stopped. I glanced at his face.

"You never got married?" I nodded, I did write that down, didn't I?

"I always thought you would get married in a heart beat." he said. I felt like slapping him, as he looked back at my forms.

Why in the world would he say that? Yeah, I know teachers can't be married and all that, but to say he thought I would be married by now and having babies... grrr...

"Well, you're perfect in every way but I still have to interview Snape, just to be fair." he stood and we walked out of the room.

That was a the oddest interview I have every had in my life.

Snape stood when we entered the Hall. I sat down and he followed Dumbledore out fo the Hall.

I waited for like, ten minutes till they came back. Dumbledore was laughing and Snape was grinning.

"I am sure that was a great trip for you. Elizabeth, Severus was just telling me about a trip he went on last year..."

He stopped.

"You aren't here for that. So I will get back to business. Anyway, you two are too perfect for the position so I have the difficult task of having to pick between you two. And it won't be easy."

I looked at Snape and he looked at me. *gulp*

Dumbledore scratched his chin.

"Pick a number, 1 through 10." he said.

What? You call this professional?

"7." said Snape, they looked at me.

I am supposed to just pick a number? Snape must really want this to say 7, my favorite number. Was it worth it? To me? Do I really want to fight him?

"Give Snape the job. He wants it more then me." I said, then I left the Hall.

As I walked away, I heard Dumbledore telling Snape he got the job. I closed the doors behind me and walked down the steps.

I was almost to the gates when, I heard Snape call my name. I stopped and turned to face him. Snape was jogging towards me, he stopped a few feet away from me.

"Thanks, I know you would of gotten that job. 7 wasn't really my lucky number. Sorry I tried to use it."

"That's ok. Besides, just think of all the kids you get to hit on the side of the head now."

He smiled and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Well, I got to go." I said, he stepped towards me.

"Elizabeth, can we have dinner sometime?"

I looked at him. Was he asking me on a date?

"We have a lot to catch up on. And I know this great place that has the best pizza in the world." said Snape.

I laughed. Ok, it wasn't a date just a friend's casual get-together. I know where he wants to go, how could I forget?

"OK, when?"

"How about tonight? If you are free, I can pick you up at seven."

Why not? It could be fun and if not, I can still kill him.

"Alright but I'll meet you there."

He smiled and I went through the gates, a small smile on my lips.
