Normally, Snape would have woken up at 6:30 a.m. sharp, or if he had morning sickness, 5:00 a.m. But not today. Today he had to meet Lavender's parents, and somehow she got an alarm to go off at exactly 4:30 a.m. She must've knew he wouldn't wake, because after it stopped its loud beeping, she started to pound on the door. Little did Snape know that this would be the least of his worries....

When Lavender entered her hair was a slightly darker color Brown than blond, and her eyes were brown also. ((A/n- I got this from another fic, 'cept the glasses.)) She also wore a pair of small glasses with red frames. "What in the world..." Snape said groggily. "This was before the bleach bottle, which my parents have no knowledge about. I found the charm in a book. Hurry and get dressed!" Lavender barked. Lavender's hair was in a pony tail tied with a red and white ribbon, and she wore a red and white dress with white socks and red dress shoes. She looked like a 'Conny Island Chorus Girl' with long hair. She carried a red shawl and a red beret. Snape started to open his wardrobe but Lavender flung something at him. "Its charmed to be your size. Hurry! You don't know my parents!!" She yelled. Then she started to remove every trace of make-up on her face. Snape scowled as he looked at the clothes. A White Silk shirt and Black pants with a red tie and cummerbund. He went into the bathroom and changed. When he came out Lavender pulled him into a chair and she started to brush his hair, muttering a charm every now and then. "What are you-" But he yelped before he could finish. She pulled his hair back into a very tight pony- tail tied with a solid red ribbon.

"Ready to go?" She asked, putting on the shawl and beret. Snape put on his shoes and sighed. Then nodded. "Good." She threw him a black dress jacket. Once he was fully in attire, she said "We should floo." Snape got some floo powder without a word. They stepped into the fireplace together and shouted "LAVENDER'S HOUSE", they arrived almost instantly.

Mr. Brown was sitting in an armchair facing the fire, staring at it. Mrs. Brown was bringing in some tea. "Oh Good Dears, your here." She said. Lavender smiled as she stood and dusted her self off. Snape stood his full hight and brushed the shoot off himself. Mr. Brown was eying him as if he was a foul piece of meat, or a snake that wouldn't die. "Mom...Dad, This is Severus." Lavender said, gripping Snape's hand tightly. Snape could tell she was nervous, very nervous. "Nice to meet you." Mrs. Brown said. Mr. Brown nodded. "Care for some tea?" Mrs. Brown asked. Both Snape and Lavender nodded. 'These people must be early people...' thought Snape, for it was at least 6:00 a.m and they were serving tea.

Once they were all seated an in an uncomfortable silence, Mr. Brown started to speak. Lavender straighted up and started to breath deeper then necessary. "So, Severus, Where do you work?" He asked. 'As if he doesn't already know!' Thought Lavender. Snape wanted her to at least be comfortable in her own home, so he spoke in a much calmer tone. "Hogwarts."

"What do you teach?'

"Potions."

"What school did you attend?"

"Hogwarts."

"What house were you in?"

"Slytherin."

"Your the Slytherin head-of-house, am I right?"

"Yes."

"Did you get good grades when you attended Hogwarts?"

"Good enough."

Lavender hoped her father was satisfied, but then it was her mothers turn to interrogate. 'Oh no...' thought Lavender as her mother began..

"How long have you taught?"

"Long enough."

"What made you want to teach?"

Snape paused. He was teaching for his own protection, Dumbledore protected him, and now Brigid and Lavender from the Dark Lord, so he lied.

"Sudden Interest."

"Is it always 'sudden interest' with you?"

"No." 'Do not Crucio your in-laws...' Snape reminded himself, as Mrs. Brown's tone got a littler more meaner than he expected.

"Oh, so its hunt down your prey with a plan first?"

"No."

"Why Lavender?"

Snape thought about it. Lavender was busy banging her head with her hand, as if her parents did this all the time, only worse today.

"Because she is nice, sweet, and special. I'm sure Mr. Brown feels the same way about you." Snape said. Lavender looked up, blushing the color of her beret. Apparently, both of her parents were satisfied. Mr. Brown said he would be proud to give away his daughter to Severus, and Mrs. Brown gave her blessings.

It was about lunch time when Lavender and Snape arrived back at Hogwarts. As they were having lunch in Snape's private quarters, Lavender spoke up. "I am so sorry about my parents." "Its OK, love. You tried to warn me ahead of time." Snape placed his hand on hers. Lavender smiled. So for the bachelor party and bridal shower...the 30th of January?" She asked. Snape nodded. "Perfect." He said. "Everything is Perfect."
