Part One
A/N: Well, It's finally here. The holiday installment of Bill and Ted. If you have not read it yet, it would be a good idea to read Bill and Ted's Adventure to know what is going on. If this story gets out a little slow, please bear with me, I'm posting as soon as I finish a chapter, and I'm doing about 6 different stories at the same time (and not all of them HP). Thanks to all of you who reviewed the original series (which was my first fic ever), you encouraged me to write more. Oh, BTW, for you people who liked the Vacation series, I have a surprise for you this weekend.... enough rambling, on with the story!!! Oh, and

It was a crisp December morning, the students were out in Hogsmeade, and she was stuck in her office, looking out her window at the coat of last night's fresh snow. Tedira snapped out of her reverie and thought 'Well, since I'm here, I might as well finish grading these exams.' She started looking through some final exams that needed to be graded, when she heard a soft knock on her door. Not looking up, she said "Come in." She heard her door open and close and some steps until a shadow was in front of her. She looked up and saw that Severus was looking at her. She smiled at him, and motioned for him to take a seat. Still smiling she asked "What brings you here Severus?" Snape looked for a few seconds like he was thinking what to say, and he said "I know that professor Flitwick is returning next semester. Have you thought what are you going to do for next semester?"
She closed her eyes and slumped back into her chair. She should have seen that coming. She was wondering herself what she was going to do next semester, and looking at Snape she said, "I don't know. The office still wants to keep me here, but I doubt that without a good excuse that will be possible. I could probably teach DADA when Remus is out, but what will I do the rest of the time? It will be too obvious why I'm here." Snape looked at her sadly and said, "I wish I could help you with some ideas. I'm getting used to the idea of having a real friend as a coworker. The students are leaving for the holidays tomorrow. Are you staying like the rest of us?"
She shook her head, and said "No, since this is the first time in a long time that I have the luxury to be on holiday for this time of the year, I decided to spend it in my parent's home. Besides, my cousins already wrote to me saying that they were coming to see me too. So, now I have no choice." Not mentioning that Bill had hinted that he might be home for the holiday as well. She knew that Snape was not too fond of Bill. She had confided in Snape a long time ago how he had made her suffer in their Hogwarts years. He wasn't happy when he learned that Bill and her were a couple.
He looked at her thoughtfully and said "That decision has nothing to do with the fact that the Weasleys are going to be home for the holidays, is it?" She looked at Snape with surprise, and said, "How did you know they are going to be home?" He smiled and said "Usually the Weasleys stay to keep Potter company, but this year none of them are in the list to stay, including Potter and Granger. Minerva just mentioned it casually this morning at breakfast, before you came in." She raised an eyebrow and teasingly said "So now I'm going to be the center of gossip while I'm out? Great, just great." Severus smiled at her comments, and in a serious tone said "Just promise me you are going to be careful. I don't want you to be hurt by him again." She was moved by her friend's concern, and grabbing his arm, she said "It's different now. I know that he loves me."
In a lighter tone she said "I hope to see you during the holidays. I will not see you cooped up here. Have you made your decision about my New Year's invitation?" He grimaced for a bit and said "Yes, I'll go. I will spend New Year's at your parent's house, but I still say this is calling for disaster." She laughed, and said "Oh, come on. You've met my parents, and is not like is the first time you are staying there either." Snape smiled, and said "Remember the time your parents thought I was your boyfriend? They almost have a heart attack." Tedira smiled back and said "I know, but they calmed down when we explained that we needed to pose as husband and wife for a mission, and we needed to know our quirks."
An evil smirk formed on a side of his mouth when he said "Did you tell your boyfriend Bill that you slept with me before?" She laughed, and said, a little annoyed, "Wipe that grin off your face. No, I haven't told him. Besides, like you just said, the only thing we did was just that, sleep." He nodded, and mumbled very quietly "Pity." Tedira looked at Snape and said, "Did you said something?" Snape shook his head and said, "No, but I was going to ask you to have dinner with me tonight, you know, for old time's sake before you leave tomorrow." She nodded, and said "Well, you better leave now. I need to finish this and give the grades to Minerva if I want to go home tomorrow." He nodded and getting up he said "Until tonight, then. Seven sounds good?" She looked up and nodded "Seven is perfect. See you then.", waiving her hand as he turned to close the door.
