Monday Morning at 6:05am

Walking up towards the Great Hall my stomach was in knots. I knew that it was early, hell, it was barely past six, but I knew that if I was going to make it through this day, I would have to make a go of it, get comfortable before anyone else could show up. I am dreading this day, but I'm a Gryffindor. I can do this. Courage Hermione. Courage Hermione. Severus has no idea that I'm up, or where I'm at, I didn't leave a note, I'm quite sure that I will get a scolding for that, strangely, that doesn't bother me a whole bunch. It's so cold down here, why on earth would Salazar Slytherin want to be down here I'll never know…

"Madam Snape."

"Oh… Um, hello."

"I apologize for startling you."

"It's alright, I-I didn't think anyone was up, let alone in the halls."

"A good assumption, but all we ghosts have are these hallways. That and time."

"..."

"It's apparent that you are shocked that I am speaking to you. While you may be a Gryffindor, you're now the wife of Slytherin's head, I take an interest in all of those that are in my house and their relationships. And you, Madam Snape, are quite interesting to me, considering who you're married to and your previous relationships with Slytherin's."

"Yes."

"I expressed my concern of your well being to Severus, are you feeling better?"

"I am physically. But emotionally, I'm terrified. Feeling slightly cowardly, like the Cowardly Lion… Oh-I suppose you wouldn't know who that is, I uh-"

"Haha. I am aware of the muggle Cowardly Lion. From a book I believe."

"Yes. You know it?" The Bloody Baron laughed. He laughed! I didn't think that was possible. Not to mention the fact that he's actually nice. Of course, I'm married to Severus, of course he's going to be nice.

"Of course. I'm aware of many facts now that I have nothing but time."

"Oh… So you travel to the muggle world?"

"Oh no. No. The book's in the library. The author, had a brother who was muggleborn, it was given to our library."

"Oh… Interesting. Are many books donated?"

"Yes and no. Depends on the Headmaster."

"Oh. That's interesting. I didn't know that."

"Yes. Well here is the Great Hall, I shall leave you know. Good day Madam Snape."

"Thank you for escorting me sir."

"Your welcome Madam."

Well that was certainly strange. Different. But pleasant. He's definitely nicer than he appears to be. That's funny, so is Severus, perhaps it's the curse of the SLytherin. "Haha."

"Something funny Mrs. Snape?"

"HOLY-"

"What was that?"

"Why are you-What-I… WHY DID YOU SCARE ME?!"

"I apologize, that was not my intention."

"…"

"Yes. Well, you were gone when I awoke."

"Yes."

"No note."

"No."

"Madam Snape…"

"Professor Snape."

"…"

"What do you want me to say, I'm answering your questions. Sir."

We're playing a game. Early. Why? "Watch your tone Mrs. Snape. Next time, I'd appreciate it if you left me a note."

"Why? You don't."

"…"

"What? I'm just stating a fact."

"Yes well, I'd still appreciate it."

"Right. Well. How about you leave notes informing me where you're going and I'll do the same."

"..."

"Great it's a deal." Oh my gosh I totally know what to get him. A clock like the Weasley's have. That way he'll always know where I'm at. I bet the headmaster can figure out how to get it for me. Yay. I'm so excited.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing."

"…"

"No. Don't go in my head. I just thought of something I can get you. Stay out."

"I'm not. What were you laughing at before I startled you."

"Oh um, I just thought of something about you and the Baron."

"The Baron? Something about us?"

"Yes."

"Well what is it?"

"Oh. Haha. Well, he walked-er, escorted me up here."

"How does that have to do with me?"

"We talked."

"Again, how does that have to do with me? And why do you always insist on playing 20 questions?"

"I'm not playing 20 questions. Besides, you ask as many as I do."

"…"

"Anyways, well I just thought that he seemed nice, well pleasant despite appearing otherwise. And I thought that you and him seem the same in that way."

"I'm not nice."

"You've been nice to me."

"I-"

"Since we've been married."

"Yes well…"

"No worries Professor, I won't let tell your secret."

"Thank you. I assure you though, your perception of me might change."

"I'm sure it won't."

"…"

"I am the resident know-it-all."

"…"

"We need to talk more about-"

"Later."

"What?"

"Later"

"What later?"

"We can discuss whatever personal stuff at a later time."

"Why are you in my head? Out."

"Later. Prying ears."

"What?"

"You don't want your personal business all over the papers do you?"

"No. I don't know what you mean by later. But anyways, we need to discuss what to call me. I'd appreciate not Madam Snape."

"Yes. I know. You've said as much before."

"Well I wanted to inform you since you've already called me that once today."

"…"

POP!

"Miss Hermy's wantings somethings tos eat?"

"Oh good morning Clinx, that would be wonderful."

"Masters too?"

"I'll eat when the headmaster does."

"Very wells sirs. Bes back soons with Miss Hermy's food."

POP!

"You came looking for me when you couldn't find me? And saw no note? I'm not a dog you know…"

"…"

"I mean I appreciate that you came looking for me, honestly. I just didn't know it was an issue, I apologize."

"It's fine."

"No. It's not. I'm sorry."

"And that's not the only reason why."

"Oh."

"You left your bag."

"My-Oh my. Thank you I've never forgotten my bag before. Ever."

"Preoccupied mind I take it."

"If you only knew sir. If you only knew."

"I'm quite aware, I assure you."

"Right well…"

POP!

"Breakfast fors Miss Hermy."

"Thank you Clinx."

"Welcomes Miss."

POP!

"Hermione! I-Good morning sir."

"Mr. Longbottom. I'll leave you now Mrs. Snape."

"I-Yes. Thank you for my book bag sir."

"It was no problem. Good day."

"You to sir."

"Hermione you're here."

"Yes Neville, I'm here. Of course, I haven't ever really been gone you know."

"I know, I meant here in, outside of your quarters."

"Oh yeah. Haha. Professor Snape wouldn't even think about letting me miss another day if I wanted to you."

"Haha. No I suppose he wouldn't."

"Yeah."

"So are you ready?"

"For today? No. I'm terrified."

"Haha yeah I can understand."

"Can you?"

"No. But I can say that I do and be there for you when you need to freak out."

"Thanks Nev."

"No problem."

"Where is everyone?"

"Late night. There was an exploding snap tournament up in the tower."

"Oh…"

"…"

"So-"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel left out."

"No no it's ok. You didn't, if I were honest with myself, I'd probably be studying and then yell at everyone for being loud."

"True. Haha. You pretty much have no fun."

"NEVILLE!"

"Haha. What?"

"So, hows Professor Snape?"

"What do you mean?"

"How is he?"

"Like-"

"I meant as a person. When he's not teaching."

"Oh. Um, well I'm not exactly sure entirely, he's been nice. Um, kind of quiet actually, he reads a lot, and writes. He has an office so I'm not sure exactly what he's doing, but I'm pretty sure, he does his writing in there. And then he grades and reads out in the living room. Actually, we read a lot."

"We…?"

"We. As in he and I. Haha. I mean, I read all the time."

"YOU DO?!"

"Shut up Neville."

"I missed you."

"I missed you to Nev."

"OH…"

"What? What's-Shoot. I was really hoping they wouldn't show up today."

"Must have heard that you were here, they probably won't talk to us."

"I hope not. I have nothing to say to Lavender or Ron. Prats."

"Hermione!"

"Well they are."

"Let's sit next to them."

"Lavender, no. Let's not."

"Ronnie I want to sit next to Hermione."

"Well-"

"Do you want to take a nap later or not?"

"I-Yes."

"Then you'll sit next to Hermione with me."

"Fine."

"Good. Glad you agree with me."

"Right."

"Hi Neville. Hi Hermione."

"Lavender."

"How are you Hermione."

"…"

"Well that's good. Ron and I are just fine."

"What do you want Lavender, can't you tell that she obviously has nothing to say to you."

"Neville why don't you go sit with Luna, nobody cares what you have to say."

"I care. And I don't have anything to say to you. Why don't you sit somewhere else, I'd rather sit with Neville."

"I'm hurt. I thought we were such good friends. And to think, I haven't even received an invitation to your wedding at Christmas. Ronnie's gotten his."

"Of course he did. I invited his entire family."

"Well I-"

"And you, Lavender, aren't coming to my wedding, hence why you didn't receive an invitation."

"…"

"I'm glad that's taken care of. You can leave now. Bye."

"What do you mean, I'm not coming to your wedding? Just because I don't have an invitation doesn't mean that I won't come. I'll just be Ronnie's date."

"If Ron wants to bring you as a date, then you two might as well go somewhere else because then Ron is not allowed to come if you're planning on being with him."

"WHAT?! My mum-"

"Your mum agrees with me Ronald Weasley and it is MY wedding and I will allow whoever I want to and if I say that I don't want someone there, then they WON'T be there. Final decision."

"Why you little bitch. How dare you use your wedding as a way to get back at my Ronnie. He's been a good friend to you all these years and you don't even invite his girlfriend. What is-"

"Good friend? GOOD FRIEND?! How DARE you imply that he's been a good friend to me all these years. He's used me, he's played me, he's been an arrogant ass for pretty much the entire time I've known him. A good friend? Not to me, no. To Harry, yes, up until recently. Funny isn't it RON! How you lost the two people that were always there for you, ALWAYS watching your back making sure you didn't mess up and get killed. The people that were always there for you. And I-"

"Mrs. Snape, I think that's quite enough. Come with me please."

"Yes sir" Shit. Taken out of here by my own husband/Professor. How awkward is this? I can't wait. I'm going to yell at him later. I was just about to really tear into him.

"I find myself wondering what you were thinking Mrs. Snape."

"Later."

"Excuse me?"

"Later. Wouldn't want prying ears to hear your conversation. I have class. See you later."

"…"

"What? You don't want me to be late on my first day back to you? If so, you could write me a note."

"Until later then."

That's all for now. Happy reading. -Sevy14
