#########################################################
Miranje was sick. She had a high fever that wouldn't go down with any medicine Madam Pomfrey gave to her. She was dillusional and her shouting echoed on the corridors of the school. .Dumbledore had to cast a spell so that the other students wouldn't hear her. The teachers weren't just worried about Miranje, but also Severus. He wasn't sleeping or eating. Dumbledore had to take over Potions [something the students were thrilled about] because Severus just wandered around looking like one of the ghosts. Finally Dumbledore had to let Severus to see Miranje, otherwice he would've got sick too.
He didn't leave her side. For four days and nights he sat by her, hushing and calming her back to sleep when she cried of agony. He suffered as much as she did, but was relieved to be able to stay with her.
Early in the morning, when the sun rise, Miranje opened her eyes. Her head hurt and she felt weak. She looked around. The hospital wing, she thought. There were beds with white sheets and candles on the night stands. She saw a man resting his head on her bed sleeping. His black hair was messy and his hands squeezed the blanket. Slowly Miranje sat up trying not to wake him. Then she stroke his hair and felt the lost warm feeling lighting up inside of her again.
Severus woke up suddenly. He looked in Miranje's eyes and felt relived. He embraced her and kissed her.
- I was so worried, he whispered in her ear.
- Were you? Really? wondered Miranje.
- Ofcourse I was! I love you, you silly girl, said Severus, stroking her cheeck.
Soon after that the headmaster came in with Proff. McGonagall. He wasn't actually smiling but you could see something in his eyes that seemed like pure joy. And Dumbledore was indeed happy that Miranje was awake, for both Severus and the young girl in his arms.
Miranje stayed in the hospital wing for a week, and Severus started to teach again. He spent all his spare time in the hospital wing, talking and laughing and reading with Miranje. He didn't even give detention because he would have had to stay in the dungeons. When Miranje was able to leave the hospital wing she got an owl from Dumbledore, asking her to come to his office after lessons. When she finished the Defend Against the Dark Arts class she headed to his office, remembering the old password from the year before. She found the headmaster talking to Fawkes and cleaning at the same time, waving his wand around and stuff flowing in the air. She almost got hit in the head by a huge trophy saying "wizard of the century".
- Ahem.. You asked me to come, said Miranje.
- Yes! Miranje, sit down, sit down. How are you?
- I'm.. getting better, thank you.
- I have a feeling you know why you are here.
- Hm... Yes. Severus and me.
- Yes. You have always been a smart girl. I hope you know this has to end.
- I know. It's just that... Do you remember last year when I said that all the reasons that I had to live for were magic and the dying hope of someone to save me?
Dumbledore nodded and started polishing his wand the same time.
- With Severus... I have never felt this alive. I have something to wake up for. I love him and I couldn't live without him. I know these are all the biggest cliches in the world, but there isn't enough words to describe it.
- I know you love him. And he loves you, I am sure of that. But still, this isn't right. Not in the school. And besides, you're under-aged until... July, isn't it?
- Yes. And we are both aware of that. That is why we haven't gone to bed.
Dumbledore blushed slightly. God, I had forgot how straight that girl gets, he thought.
- Very well. I have asked Severus here to talk about this matter aswell, and he should be here any minute now. I will hear him and then call you back. Is this all right?
- Yes, thank you.
At the same time Severus entered the room and saw Miranje stroking Fawkes. Dumbledore asked for Severus to have a seat and Miranje to leave. Severus touched Miranje's hand lightly when she walked by.
After an hour Severus had said all that he wanted to say and Dumbledore had heard more than he would have expected. [Unfortunately the author is incapable to repeat what exactly did Severus say to the headmaster.] Dumbledore sent Severus away saying he had to think the matter over before saying anything. The headmaster had one weakness, and that was romances. He wanted so much to find a solution so that Severus and Miranje could be together. But how?
Miranje was waiting outside the office and when Severus came out, she rushed to him.
- Do you think we have any chance to be able to stay together?
- I really don't know. Albus said that he had to think this over. I don't blame him for that. He has alot on his mind right now. He'll call us when he's ready. Care for a walk in the mean time?
They walked to the lake and sat in the grass and talked. Severus had thought about leaving his position, but Miranje didn't want to hear nothing of the sort.
- We'll find a way, don't worry. But you will NOT give up teaching, not for me. I know you love it more than anything.
- No I don't, said Severus, picked up a flower and gave it to Miranje.
- Oh?
- I love YOU more than anything.
Miranje could feel tears coming to her eyes. She didn't have any time to reply, because Fawkes flew to them with a note asking both of them to the Headmaster's office.
It was late and the student's were all fast asleep. The castle hadn't ever been so peaceful. They walked to Dumbledore's office, hand in hand, smiling. [as Severus said "whatever it will be we'll face it smiling"] They sat down and Dumbledore spoke:
- I have thought about this over and over. The school rules don't exactly forbid... intercourse between a teacher and a student, but only because this hasn't happened before. But while Miranje is still underaged, the common laws are against you two.
Miranje's smile faded.
- BUT, continued the Headmaster, I might have a solution.
