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. I reposted it to comply with the new chapter requirement in ff.net and got an error in the process, resulting in the lost of my files and reviews. So please, feel free to review that one for those of you who haven't done it before, and to the people who reviewed that story before please review again as well, I will be really greatful if you do that.
Thanks to all of you who reviewed the second part: Sailor Sadness (Sadie can attest that the movie was worth renting...), Rosmerta (I bow to you, you are one of my favorite authors, I feel humbled by your presence... Yeah, I had questions about the shopping ability of those two, that's why I thought they needed girl help.... Um, any new stories for Rose and Severus?), Amethyst (I'm not saying anything.... ::grins evilly::), Tessie (Thank you for your patience!!!!), and Chris Lillith (Still battling the Evil Writer's Block!!!) . Your reviews are part of what makes me want to battle the Grim Writer's Blocker and start writing all over again (even if this story is overdue). ::flinches at the thought::
Please excuse any grammar and/or spelling errors, as English is not my first language. Any mistakes that you find and notify me with your reviews, or e-mail to me directly, will be fixed.
Sphinx, again, if you read this, please help me with my grammar, e-mail me!!! (::still begs with knees on floor and sad puppy eyes::)

And now, the story.
Bill and Ted's Holiday
Adventure
Part Three
Tedira made the way to her bedroom slowly, still in shock, her hand resting on her lips. She still could not believe what happened, and that she reacted in such a way to his kiss. This was not good, she should not have any doubts, after all she was deeply in love with Bill, right?
Working like an automaton, she made sure that everything was on its place, and that she had anything she needed before going back home. She put on her pajamas, and turned off the light.
She laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't go to sleep. Would this ruin her friendship with Severus? He was more than a mentor to her, he was her best friend, her confidant.
She could tell Severus things she would never dream telling Bill about, because Bill would never understand, but he could. Being an Unspeakable gave you a very strong bond with your partner when you had one, and she and Severus had been partners for a long time, on and off, depending of his schedule. The rest of the time, she worked solo.
The first rays of morning met Tedira with this thoughts, realizing that she did not got any sleep, which did not made her a happy camper, so to speak. Since she could not sleep, she decided to get ready for her trip home. She took a shower, brushed her teeth, and put a new set of clothes, as well as some make-up to disguise the lack of sleep from her face.
Making sure that she had all her gifts with her, and that her trunks were closed, she heard a soft knocking on her door. Wincing, she was afraid she knew who it was, but prayed internally anyway "Please, don't let it be Severus, please.", and went to open the door.
To her surprise, it was not Severus, but Professor Lupin. Smiling, she said "Good morning, Remus, please come in."
He smiled at her and said "I will only be for a minute. I was wondering if is possible to send my Christmas gifts with you, since Harry and the others are not going to be here."
She answered, "Of course there is no problem. I understand, is difficult for a professor to give a gift to a student without the school gossiping about it. I will personally give the gifts to them.", and opening her trunk, she put the three wrapped gifts inside.
Lupin just said "Again, thank you Tedira. I guess I'll see you at breakfast later, right?"
She just nodded, and saying good bye she closed the door behind him. Not five minutes later, she heard another knock on her door, and taking a deep breath, she proceeded to open the door.
No, not Severus, but Minerva, "Dear, are you ready? Your trunk will be taken any minute now."
She smiled at her and nodded, while saying "Minerva, are you going down for breakfast?"
McGonagall just smiled and said "Of course we can go together. Do you feel well? You don't look like yourself today."
Watching her trunk disappear, she said "I did not slept well last night. Too excited to see my family again, I guess."
McGonagall smiled and said "Yes, that could be it. But if I remember correctly, there is also a certain Weasley which will be very happy to see you as well."
She just smiled as a response, mentally wincing at the thought of what happened with Severus the night before, and realizing that she will not only see him at breakfast, he will seat next to her. Doing anything else will raise questions, especially as to why.
Going inside the Great Hall, she saw her favorite Griffindors look at her with a big smile plastered in all of their faces, waving to her.
Minerva noticed as well, and chuckling softly she whispered "I don't envy you, dear. They look like they are planning something big, and you are the target."
Looking back at the Griffindor table quickly, Ted turned back to her, and said "Geez, thanks. Now you made me feel so much better.", earning a laugh from Minerva.
Looking at the staff table, she could see Severus arching an eyebrow at Professor McGonagall's reaction to her comment, even that she was sure he could not hear what they were talking about.
The two woman separated to take their places at the staff table, Severus looking at Tedira with a "Good Morning.", went back to concentrate on his food.
Feeling a bit hurt, she answered "Good morning to you too, Severus." She then turned to Lupin "Remus, could you please pass the sausages?"
Breakfast was unusually quiet in their corner, Lupin looking from time to time to Professors Anwyl and Snape. They were acting unusual, as if they had a fight or something.
After breakfast was over, Professor Dumbledore rose from his chair and said, "Before you are dismissed, I just wanted to wish the students leaving for the winter break a safe trip home and that you have a great holiday with your family and friends."
Everybody clapped at his words, and immediately everybody started moving toward the carriages that will take them to Hogsmeade. Tedira was standing up, when she fell Snape's hand in her forearm "Could I walk you to the carriage?"
She just nodded, and both stood up. Making sure that no one could hear them, Snape said "We need to talk."
Tedira just sighed, and said "Can we talk at home? Is just a few days away, and it will give us time to think on what happened." She turned to face him "You are still coming, are you?"
Reluctantly, he nodded, and smiling, she squeezed his arm in a friendly gesture saying "Thanks."
They rejoined the students in the hallway, when Peeves appeared, and looking at Snape and Tedira, had a big grin on his face, and started singing in the middle of the hallway "Snape and Anwyl sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Snape was furious, while the other students were laughing at Peeves' song. He just screamed, "Peeves, I will make sure the Red Baron hears about this!"
Sure enough, that was all it took to make Peeves run for cover, earning curious glances from all the students in the hallway. Transforming back into Snape mode, he snapped at the students, "Well, don't you have a carriage to catch or something?", and turned back to his office.
Tedira just shook her head, and went to take the carriage that would take her to Hogsmeade.
She was trying to decide which carriage to take, when she heard "Professor Anwyl, over here!!!"
Looking at the direction of the voices, she saw the Griffindor group waving at her. She walked towards them, and asked, "Yes, you need anything?"
Fred was the one to respond, "We were wondering if you wanted to travel with us. We need one more person. Ron, Hermione Harry and Ginny will go in one", pausing in mid sentence and giving her a mischievous grin, "and Lee, George and myself in the other. Care to join us?", looking significantly at the two "couples".
The twins had filled her earlier that semester with all the details about Ron and Hermione's row from last year, and she knew that Ginny liked Harry, and had a suspicion that he was starting to like her as well.
She knew that those two were planning trouble, and she wanted to be part of it. She was not their mentor in mischief for nothing.
She smiled at the boys, and said to George, "Okay, I will go with you, but I need to be debriefed on the details of what you have planned, and you know that you can count me in."
Fred and Lee were already inside the carriage, and he and George helped Tedira get inside. Once George took his seat next to her, he closed the door and the carriage started to move.
Reclining on her corner of the carriage, Tedira looked at the boys and said "Well, my fellow trouble makers, what's the plan?"
The twins, casting an evil grin at each other, proceeded to explain their plan for the two couples in the other carriage "Well, we were thinking of…"
