It's a small world after all... Snape is back and we have a dinner date with him. It is going to get any better? Who knows? Well I don't know, but I do know some people hate when I talk forever and ever in these memo things. I also know that all of you read them, cuz yeah, I just know. Please review and msg me. FYI: msg means message for all you people who had no clue why I keep writing that in all my stories and stuff.

...Monkeys are green...

I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear. Should I wear a dress or should I wear jeans and a tee? I hate this, ok, we are having pizza so nothing really nice. We are going to our favorite food place, so something comfortable. Maybe I should just wear my jean skirt and some top...

There was a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Shakira popped her head in.

"Do you need help picking something to wear?" she asked.

"Yes! Please help me, I have to be out of here in twenty minutes and I have no clue what to wear." I stared at all my clothes, that were on my bed. Shakira walked over and picked up a green blouse and some jeans.

"You can wear your heels with this and it will still be comfortable and a little dressy."

I dropped my mouth.

"How can you do that? I have been looking at these clothes for hours and you come in for two seconds and hand me the perfect outfit. Did you get this for some book or something?"

She laughed and started to put away my other clothes.

"No, the secret is that you are the one going, not me. So I am calm while you are stressed."

I shook my head and helped her put the clothes up.

"I should get ready now. But should I do my hair-"

"Leave it in a ponytail, it is a little warm tonight." she said, I smiled and hugged her.

"I love it when you help me."

"Ok, but you better help me when I have my date with Jim tomorrow. Maria wants me to thank you for breaking our date tonight, turns out she has other plans and didn't want to rain on our parade."

"OK, you know who she is meeting with?" I asked, she shook her head.

"Now Liz, she never said that she was going on a date." I raised my brow.

"I think it is her tutor, Mick something or other." she said and we started to laugh.

Then we heard a few baby cries. Shakira sighed.

"Violet is so clingy, you'd think I had abandoned her with all that crying."

"Well at least Tom isn't like that."

"Oh, well you are just saying that cut you are his favorite auntie."

"Don't let Maria hear you say that." she nodded as she laughed. Then she waved and left the room. I then turned to the mirror and started to get ready.

*****

I looked at the old house and all the memories came back. I was standing in the front lawn of Snape's Grandma's house. She made the best home-made pizza in the whole world. Snape and I were of course the judges for that.

The house was made of dis-colored brick. The front had a large window so you could see into the living room. The window had flowers under it and there was a large oak tree just to the left of the house.

When I was little, his Grandma, Flora, used to watch my sisters and I. We would play with her cats and Snape used to come over and we would play tricks on each other. That was why I was turned green. We got pretty mean so times, but we loved it here. She baked all the time, so there was fresh bread and cookies, everyday. It was great.

The door opened and Flora stood there. For a Grandma, she looked young. She had black hair with a few white hairs. She was tall and skinny, Snape looked a lot like her. She had a pretty face and she knew how to be firm, in the nicest way in the world. That was one of the main reasons why I loved her.

"Are you just going to stand there all night? Cause dinner is not going to wait for you." she said. I smiled and walked over to her.

"How you doing?" she asked, as we hugged.

"Fine, is Snape here yet?"

"Yeah, he is in my kitchen." she said, I laughed.

"We better get in there or your house will be in a shambles."

"Or at least my kitchen will be." she said. We walked though the living room into the kitchen. It was a large kitchen with a old wood stove. Flora was a witch so, she didn't cook like a Muggle but she liked to not use magic once in a while. Snape was standing over one of her pots, putting his finger in something.

"Hey!" she said, rushing over and knocking his hand away. He blushed.

"You got caught, mister." I said, he turned and gave me a look like he didn't know I was there. Then he smiled, I shook my head.

"Trying to be sneaky in this house, you must be crazy." I said. Snape shrugged and started to laugh.

"Do you need any help with anything, Flora? Want me to set the table?"

She shook her head.

"No, everything is ready. I just need to-"

The phone ringed. Flora liked phones and well, she thought they were very interesting, so she bought one. She went to answer it.

I looked Snape over. He was wearing jeans and a black tee shirt. Casual, good cut that is the way I dressed. Thank goodness for Shakira, my life saver.

I was about to ask him something, when Flora came back in.

"Sorry kids, but I got to go. Nancy, my friend, needs me to come over and help her move some things. I guess some Muggles were messing with her lawn again and she has to protect her lawn toys."

"You want me to come too?" asked Snape. She shook her head.

"NO, you stay here and have dinner with Elizabeth. I will back around nine o'clock." then she was gone.

I glanced at Snape, who shrugged.

"Lets eat."

I laughed and grabbed an oven mit and took the pizza out of the oven. Snape got the salad and dressing for it. I found a juice mix and set it on the counter. Snape got a jug and made it while I took everything out to the dinning room.

The dinning room was small and had a single table with four chairs around it. There was a window, so we could see the back yard.

I set everything on the table and then started to cut the pizza. It smelled so good *mouth waters*. Snape then came in with the juice and a stack of napkins.

He then sat down and I sat down across form him. (Me: my family says prayer before we eat, so they did too. Snape said it. If you don't believe in God, well, I do and they blessed their food. I just had to say that cuz I am not going to write about them saying a pray cuz I am just not going to do that. Ok back to the story)

I then put a slice of the hot pizza on his plate and then I put some salad and then I filled my plate. I put ranch on my salad and a little on my plate, to dip my pizza in. I then started to nibble on my food. What can I say, I was really uncomfortable and yeah, I was eating across from him and yeah, not an easy thing.

Not to mention that we weren't talking, at all. I mean, I would feel better if he talked about nothing then not talk at all.

"Want to go outside? This is really uncomfortable." said Snape. I nodded and we picked up our plates and headed for the back porch. There was a few wooden chairs and a little table. I sat down. This was must better cuz now I don't have to look at him and yeah, it was a lot better.

We started to eat and this time, I took a full bite. Mmm, the pizza was awesome! O, I just love it!

"So, where are you going to look for a new job?" asked Snape. I shrugged.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it really, you know. Just go with the flow I guess. Help Shakira with the babies."

"They must be the cute. Red heads?"

"Violet is, Tom has black hair. Everyone says I am his favorite auntie."

"Really?'

"Yes they do. I think it is because Violet hogs Shakira and won't let anyone else hold her. So I get to hold Tom a lot, he probably thinks I am his mom."

We laughed. I looked at his face, it was so different yet the same.

"I think I might not get a another job." I said, not really think why I had just said that.

"Why not? You still living at home?"

"Yeah, Mom wants a man to carry me from that house, so I am stuck there, but I don't know, I don't think I want to work."

"Lazy."

"Hey, that is not what I meant." I said, throwing my napkin at him. He laughed and threw it back at me.

"Its just that, I want to have a family and yeah, I can't do that as a teacher." I said.

Snape looked at the trees and then said,

"You have plenty of time you know."

"Well yeah but I can't find the right one. I mean, none of the guys that I have dated, make my heart stop or make me sad when they are away. And I never felt like could tell them any thing, I felt like it wasn't right to."

Snape nodded.

"You will find someone. But you can't give up yet, try a few more and then think about it again. Then date a few more and think about it and so on."

"Thanks, Dr. Phil."

"Shut up." he said. He hated that guy. He was all, I can't explain it, he just hates him.

We talk about old times, totally avoiding our sixth year together. We talked about Flora and her awesome pizza. And a bunch of other random things and thoughts.

"So, Professor Snape, do you want to go wash the dishes?"

"No." he said, I laughed and got up.

Taking his plate and mine, I went back to the kitchen and started to clean up. I then did the dishes. Snape came in and he started to dry the clean dishes. I closed my eyes and continued to clean the dishes by hand. My hands automatically cleaning them, then rising them.

I put my hand in the rise water to leave a plate there for Snape to dry, when our hands touched. A warmth went up my arm and I couldn't bring myself to bring it away. I opened my eyes and looked at Snape. He hadn't moved his hand either. I then looked at his eyes. His blue eyes that were so dark they looked black.

He looked straight at me, I stopped breathing. This was it, this was what I wanted but it was with the wrong guy. It was with Snape and that was not an option.

Then the grandfather clock in the hall chimed that it was eight o'clock. I pulled my hand away and continued to wash the dishes. I made sure his hand wasn't in the water when I put them in.

We finished the dishes and I glanced at Snape.

"I probably should leave." I whispered.

"Um, ok..." said Snape. He walked me to the front door. I drove here, so I had my sister's old Honda to take home.

"It was nice talking with you. Thank Flora for dinner when she gets home."

"I will, and Elizabeth, um, do you want to have dinner with me again, sometime?"

I looked at his face and he looked really nervous or anxious.

Should I? Was it another friend get-together or was it a date?

"I understand if you don't want to." said Snape.

"As friends." I asked, he nodded. I smiled.

"That would be fun. We could go on a picnic out by the beach." I said. He laughed and nodded his head.

"Sounds good to me. I'll call you tomorrow and we can set a date."

I wrote down my number and handed it to him.

"Ok, well I got to go." I said, he nodded. I got in the car and drove away.
