hr Don't Be Discouraged! hr

Severus slowly but surly pushed through the doors to the King's Cross train station. Muggles were all around him, pushing him, and shoving him. He hoped that they didn't push over his coffee. Minerva, Filius and the rest would certainly be quite pissed off if they didn't get their coffee. and it didn't help much that these two Potters kept on stopping in their tracks to look around this damn place.

"How are these candles kept aflame?" Lily asked to herself.

"It's electricity. all over the place." James mumbled.

Severus rolled his eyes. "Come on, we mustn't be late." He was wondering why he was saying that. Late to what? He wasn't even sure if that damn Hogwarts express ran on the off-season, if you could call it that.

Well, there was no hurt in trying.

He swiveled around on his heel, and sort of missing the way his cloaks wished when he usually did that. Well, the sooner he got back to Hogwarts, the better.

He realized that he lost Lily and James Potter. They were nowhere to be found in his eyesight. Now granted, he needed some sort of spectacles, but refused to get them. So he scowled, and started to walk around searching for those assholes with a carton of twelve coffees with him. How idiotic he must have looked.

He finally found them staring at that damn muggle contraption called. err. the. tele? Oh, who gave a shit what it was called. He stalked over to them, his temper rising.

"We need to get going!" Severus snapped at the two.

"Oh!" Lily put her hand to her mouth. She looked awfully beautiful. just the way he remembered her. "I'm terribly sorry!"

Severus could feel heat rising to his cheeks. He hated feeling weak. but Lily always made him feel like that. Ever since his fourth year. when the two of them became friends. They were always together.

Severus shook away the feeling. Ok, calm down, she's married, or at least was. Plus, this is no time to blush over an old school crush! Just tell her to shut the fuck up and get back to Hogwarts!

"It's ok," He cursed at himself. he even had a damn goofy smile.

Lily turned to James, and tugged on the sleeve of his pinstriped suit. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Snape has requested our presence."

James straightened his spine, and adjusted his glasses. "I'm sorry."

Severus sighed. "Good, can we be going now? I have to take you." he trailed off. What the hell was he supposed to say to them? Take them back to Hogwarts' school of witchcraft and wizardry? Or he should tell them he's going to take them back to an over 500-year-old castle?

"Take us where?" James inquired.

Ah, shit. "I'll tell you once we get on the train."

Lily narrowed her eyes. "I think not. I'm not going anywhere with two men I do not know." She huffed.

Severus finally gave up. "Do you want to know the truth?" He said in a very low voice. It would have been sexy if he still weren't carrying the now turning cold twelve cups of coffee.

"Yes, please." James stated.

He decided this was going to be blunt. "I'm a wizard. I'm also the potions master at Hogwarts' school of witchcraft and wizardry. Now, I am going to take you there, for it's awfully suspicious for a man from 1947 and a woman from 1847 running around London. So please cooperate and follow me."

He turned on his heel, still missing that damn swish of his robes, which would have made that whole seen even more sexy and.

If he didn't twelve cold coffees in his arms.

hr Oops. That was short. ^.^ But hey, at least I wrote some, even though I have a bit of writer's block. :grumble: Please do review. it's not that hard. Oops. I said in the last chapter that this is the one where they go back to Hogwarts. Ah, well. Next chapter will be the train ride and a few questions answered and then the chapter AFTER that will be where teachers get their coffee. : )
