Winter Once Again
By: Airelle Vilka
A/N: Well, reviewers, first of all thank you for your comments. Second, harrumphs at this point and crosses her arms well, excuse me for being so predictable with the last chapter. turns back and grins Well, who did you expect it to be, the Easter Bunny at the door? Tee hee… ;-)
Chapter 2 – Confrontation
He was nearly the same as she'd remembered. Only, of course, taller. And from just a glance, Airelle could tell his eyes were tired, haggard; his black robes were tousled; he must have not slept for at least three days.
But she was not thinking of that right now. She just stared at him as he walked through, and watched him raise his gaze to her. She actually saw the black pupils dilate, and the sickly white skin grow, if possible, even paler. He froze, having stepped about two feet into the room. Dumbledore, looking particularly nonchalant about the whole situation, walked backwards towards the doorway, long purple robes swishing above a pair of golden slippers. Once he was outside, the wizard looked at both of them (whether they paid any notice to him at this point was debatable) and said pleasantly, "Severus, Airelle…I suggest neither of you leave this room until you… resolve your differences. And I shall expect to see you both tomorrow at breakfast, bright and early. Good-night."
And he shut the door, leaving the two… friends?… alone.
To be continued…
