"I still can't believe the Ministry of Magic is having a party," Neville said shaking his head as the group was in the library and Kari had just entered.

"Well, it had been a year since the Dark Lord has been killed," Hermione pointed out.

"Yes, but the Ministry of Magic though? They aren't friendly people," Neville said.

"That is really a surprise. But I guess now they don't have to worry about me anymore since I'm an adult now," Kari said happily.

"When did you get here?" Ron asked surprised.

"When you were drooling all over your girlfriend," Kari said rolling her eyes as Ron blushed. "Anyways, I just saw Snape on the way and he entered Dumbledore's office," Kari said.

"Really? About what?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know," Kari replied shaking her head.

"Severus! What a pleasant surprise! Have a seat," Albus Dumbledore said as he gestured to the sit that was in front of him.

"It's about Potter," Severus began quickly, as he wanted this done and now.

"What about our young Potter?" Albus asked with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes.

"I did something to him that provoked my feelings towards him," Severus said.

"You know, there isn't such a thing of a student/teacher relationship," Albus began.

"What?" Severus asked as he looked towards Albus eyes and knew immediately. "You knew this would happen, didn't you? You wanted me to fall in love with Potter!" He said angrily.

"Severus, you acted on your own. You can not deny love who is upon it," Albus said.

"But it's wrong! Looked what happened to Professor Gale fifty years ago!" Severus exclaimed.

"That is another story," Albus said slowly.

"How so?"

"The Daily Prophet and the books needed answers, so we made up one," Albus said.

"And that's the best you came up with?" Severus asked as Albus nodded, "that was a good one," he murmured.

"But if we told the truth, it would have ruined Hogwarts," Albus said.

"What do you mean?" Severus asked.

"Pamela was raped by Professor Gale. Professor Gale blackmailed her by not telling any of the staffs or students so that she was forced into it. The two were having an abusive relationship," Albus said unhappily.

"Wait. Pamela was raped and she couldn't get help cause of the blackmail? Then later on, she found out she had fallen for Professor Gale and the two began an abusive relationship?" Severus asked surprised.

Albus nodded, "I was very disappointed when I saw the both of them one day in an empty classroom. Pamela was hurt pretty badly and was tied up while Professor Gale was towering over her," he said.

"Then why are you encouraging me to go with Potter? Aren't you afraid that I might do something like that?" Severus asked.

Albus shook his head, "I have known you for years, Severus. You even promised to me that you will protect Lily's son," he said.

"But never imagine fallen in love with him," Severus replied.

"I trust you Severus. I know you will protect Kari," Albus said.

Severus nodded as he stood up, as all he wanted from the headmaster was the approval of the relationship. "Albus?" He asked as Albus looked at him, "What is the antidote for changing Potter back to a male? I have been wondering since day one," he said.

Albus smiled, "Mistletoe," he said, as it was time now to give the antidote to Severus.

"Mistletoe?" Severus asked with a raise eyebrow.

"What do you do under the mistletoe?" Albus asked.

"A….Oh," Severus said as he gave him one of his rare smiles.

"Not on the cheek, but you have to do it as if you mean it on the lips," Albus said smiling.

"I should thank the Weasley twins one day," Severus said.

"Considering if they are not murdered by Molly Weasley yet," Albus said and Severus laughed before he left the office.

"Kari! When are you going to act upon your feelings and tell Severus already?" Hermione asked as she, Ron and Kari were going back to the common room later that afternoon as they had just left the library.

"Snape doesn't want to do anything with me!" Kari snapped back.

"What was that Potter?" A deep voice asked as the trio stopped.

Kari looked and saw that it was Snape yet once again passing through the corridor where the Gargoyle lies. "Nothing Professor," she replied.

"Good. Dumbldore wants me to teach you Occlumency again," Severus lied coolly.

"What!" Kari shrieked as there were a few students in the corridor and they turned to look at Kari but not long before Severus giving them his death glare as they scurried off.

"But sir, the Dark Lord is gone!" Ron exclaimed.

"Not all the Death Eaters are gone, Weasley! Bellatrix and a few others are still out there somewhere!" Severus hissed.

"Then why is the Ministry of Magic having a party?" Ron snapped.

"Because they are all fools!"

"But sir, I have already mastered Occlumency! I don't need to freshen up in case the other Death Eaters comes along," Kari said.

Severus glared, "If you are late this upcoming Monday evening after dinner, I promise you Potter, your life will be a living hell," he said and with that, he turned and left.

"At least you got to be alone with Snape," Hermione said as she tried to cheer Kari up.

"That's one good thing," Kari murmured as she was happy that she got to spend more time with Snape nowadays.
