Potter Universe except of course Halle Manning and the plot.
Summary: Old friends make up, and some more old friends are reunited.
Title: Making Up and Reuniting
***
'Gods, I shouldn't be doing this' Halle thought as Severus pulled her closer to him. She felt his hands running across her back and she had to try very had to stay alert. 'I can't stop thinking, if I do, then only the Gods know how far this will go.'
And with that thought she pulled away suddenly. Severus was quite surprised to feel Halle pull back, his eyes snapped open and he immediately thought 'Oh gods what did I do wrong?' then out loud "Halle, I'm sorry..I just was caught up in your eyes and.well..I'm sorry." 'Oh great I sound like a fucking Hallmark card. Good going Severus!'
Halle felt just as guilty as he did. "No, Severus, I'm sorry. It is my fault; I shouldn't have asked you up here. I just wanted to talk to you, we have been fighting sense I got here, and more than anything in the world I want us to be friends. Not just civil to each other Sev, but friends. It's what I want more than anything." Halle felt the tears welling up in her eyes and stood quickly and walked to the fireplace across the room.
He stood pacing, "I know that's what you want Jane. And it is completely my fault that you haven't gotten it. I have been a complete ass since you got here, and the only excuse I can offer is that.well.I guess I can't give you an excuse. I'm sorry Jane, I really am. And from now on things will be different I promise." Severus walked over to Halle and put his arms around her as she cried against his shoulder. "And besides," he added stepping away from her forcing her to look him in the eyes, "If we fight, then how could I ever get another kiss like that one."
Halle gasped, "Severus, you really are prat." She laughed as she pushed him towards the door. ""Now, go away, I've had enough of you for tonight."
Severus turned around to face Halle as he stood in the door way, "Well, that's very selfish of you Jane; maybe I haven't had enough of you." The last thing he saw was Halle exasperated look before the door was slammed in his face. He laughed "Fine then, I will see you at breakfast." He called before starting down the hall to his own room and empty bed.
*** 'Maybe I shouldn't have slammed the door' Halle thought as she walked towards her bedroom. 'No, it's exactly what he deserves' she mused as she broke into unstoppable giggles. 'That grin, where ever did he get that? Hmmm.perhaps from Sirius, though Severus would rather die than admit it."
Halle changed into her Jammies and climbed into bed, shutting the curtains. It took her forever to get to sleep, but once she did, she had some very rewarding dreams.
***
The Great Hall had been decked out in the Welcoming Feast banners the night before, and Halle was so caught up in the memories it brought back, that she didn't see the new face at the Staff Table, until she heard a loud voice yell "JANE" from across the hall.
Halle looked up just in time to see a tall shaggy haired man come rushing at her before she was enveloped into a bone crunching embrace. "Hallo, Sirius" she managed to mumble from the masses of hair her face was, at the moment, being forced into.
He held her at arms length to inspect her, "Jane, you have filled out sense last time I saw you" he laughed as Halle scowled.
"Thank you, I think. How have you been, you certainly look a lot better than last time I saw you in the Daily Prophet." It was true, sense his pardon from the ministry, Sirius had filled out and yes, even combed his hair.
"Well, being on the run does stuff to you Jane," His eyes briefly clouded over at the memory, but then brightened as he added "But I'm fine now, very ready for the students to get here, and to see their faces when Dumbledore introduces me as their new DADA teacher. It should be fun." He laughed, and as always his eyes sparkled.
Halle grinned, she loved Sirius's laugh. "Yes, I can imagine that will be pretty exciting, to say the least. What are you doing right now?"
"Nothing that I know of, why?" He asked looking at her. Halle looked totally different than the skinny, bookworm he remembered her as. She had definitely filled out in all the right places; the only thing that stayed the same was her flaming red hair, the hair she always used to hate. Thank the gods she hadn't dyed it, it was the thing he loved most about her.
Halle saw his eyes sweep over her, but decided to ignore it, "Well, I just thought we could go for a walk and catch up a bit, you know, it has been almost 14 years. Besides, it is a lovely day out."
"You're right, as usual, catching up is needed, lets go." He swung her around and they headed out the door, passing by one, very confused Severus Snape.
A/N: I know this took forever! And I am very sorry! Thank you for all the reviews, they are very much loved and make me very happy. ETA on chapter 3 is...well.as soon as I can get my bum in gear and finish it, shouldn't be too long though, I promise. Look ahead for Remus Lupin, Dueling between old enemies, and yes, even some pineapples! Pineapples? You ask. Yes, pineapples I answer, though why or how they fit my plot, I'm not quite sure, but I must say, pineapples do improve a story a whole lot. Ok, now that I'm sure I have scared you, I am off to tackle chapter three!
