Never had a dream come true

Chapter 13 On the way Part 1

There was quite a stir after the incident of the feast, about the relationship between Severus and Eve. But as they didn't show any kind of affection for each other publicly after this, students were curious about their relationship, but dare not ask about it. But not with the teachers. Hooch had been asking Eve and Severus about it over and over, but both had said nothing about it, as they both felt it was personal. Especially, it was a bit awkward for Severus to sow any kind of affection publicly for Eve, and vice versa, as one of them was not used to things like this, whose image was rather dark and cold, while the other one was too shy to do anything publicly like a slight kiss on the cheek.Nevertheless, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Remus knew about it, and were happy for them.

She had also become friends with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Draco, despite her relationship with Severus, whom Harry, Hermione and Ron disliked very much. It still amused her whenever they visited her in her private chambers, and Ron would quarrel with Draco, like "Malfoy, get away from my sister", which she noticed he didn't mean it at all, just enjoying to have someone to argue with, aside from Hermione, who turned out to be his fiancee.

Eve was proved to be quite good at her job. She was not only teaching the students about the muggle world, she was also changing the views of quite a number of students with their beliefs of 'pure- blood' and 'mud-blood', comparing with racism of muggles, Hitler etc, during a lesson of muggle studies. She also introduced Muggle literature, and most popular of all, Muggle popular music.

As for her studies, she was on progress too. As all the professors were back, she was now having lessons with professors of each subject. All the professors were pleased with her progress, and believed that she could finish all her studies before Christmas holidays started. By then, she would be a qualified witch.

She also received letters from her friends once a week, keeping her inform of things happening. It was early November that a letter from Miranda which worried her much. The letter arrived on Saturday morning by owl post, during breakfast in the Great Hall.

Calbee came in through the door and flew towards her with a small parcel. It landed in front of her, and Calbee landed on her right shoulder.

"It's your owl?" asked Hooch, who sat on her right that morning. "Can I feed it? It's so cute."

"Sure. Thanks." She let Hooch get hold of Calbee. Then she started to open her parcel.

"Who's it from?" Severus whispered to Eve, who was sitting next him, eyeing curiously at the box which came with the letter.

"Miranda. I asked her to get something for me." Under the parcel wrapping, was a box with a strange logo on it, and a letter. Eve opened the letter, and Severus noticed that she was getting worried once she started reading the letter.

"What's wrong?"

"My aunt was DISTURBING my friends." Eve sighed.

"Why?"

"Something to do with my past. Do you have time today?"

"Yes, I am free today. Why?"

"You know where my chamber is. Come to my chamber in 15 minutes. I'll tell you all about it." She got up from her chair, with the box and letter with her, and left the hall.
