Chapter 10
Could it Be?
A knock at the door interrupted Eliza's lecture. She walked over to answer it and it flew open before she could even reach the handle.
Severus came hurrying into her classroom. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately.
The entire classroom of sixth years gaped at the sight before them.
What was going on?
Many of the girls awwed, however most of the students were shocked and confused by the sight before them.
The vial of Polyjuice in Eliza's hand crashed to the floor and she cradled his face gently.
They pulled away and she smiled. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" The dark haired witch asked, looking deeply into the eyes of the man before her.
He returned her smile and every student gasped. The greasy dungeon bat was capable of such a thing?
"You're middle name is Daria, you're favourite colour is royal blue, you're afraid of spiders, you once had a cat named Pickles, you were best in transfiguration and potions, you're roommates were Clara Von Shniden, Laurel Escadilly, Bellatrix Lestrange and Missy Vaughn. Your owl's name was Misfit, your vault number is 936, your favourite food is spaghetti and your birthday is January 16th." The man finished breathlessly.
Eliza, dumbstruck, was at a loss for words. Her mind was buzzing and she wanted to tell him how proud she was that he remembered everything that had happened so long ago and that the spell had been lifted, but instead she muttered stupidly; "I love you."
"Liezar, I love you too. I know that now. I have loved you for a very long time. I love you with every inch of my being. Eliza Barron, I am in love with you." Severus whispered to her.
She bit her lip and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close to her and holding him in a tight embrace.
He held her tightly as she sobbed into his shoulder. She leaned back and stared into his eyes, tears streaming down her face accompanied by the largest smile he'd ever seen on her.
"Took you long enough." The woman said. "I've missed you, Severus. You've finally come back to me."
She pressed her lips to his once more, before leaning away slightly and turning to the class.
"Class dismissed!" Eliza announced and returned to her beloved, passionately placing her lips on his once more.
The students filed out quickly, happy that they were given the time off.
"That was one of the strangest things I've ever seen," Harry said, once the Golden Trio had reached the hall. "That's saying a lot coming from me."
"Blimey, no kidding. Two stoney, mean, scary teachers in love with the other. Well, I suppose it makes sense." Ron agreed.
Hermione shook her head at the boys. "I think it's rather romantic. Professor Barron made Snape smile. He told her that he loved her. The emotionless rock can feel, don't you see?"
They shrugged.
"It's the whole weird bit about the favourite colour and cat named Pickles part that confused me." Hermione said, frowning curiously. "However, it is none of our business, I've had enough weird to last me at least a month."
They laughed and headed down the hall.
