There she stood, just like in his dreams. He would have thought he was still dreaming if it weren't for the fact that Dumbledore and McGonagall could see her too. Even then, he still didn't know if she was really there. But she was, he knew she was, it was almost too good to be true. Finally Dumbledore spoke.
"Welcome back. You have been on a long journey I'm sure. Perhaps you would like a bit to eat and maybe a nap?"
"A nap would be perfect. I haven't slept in a week, but I'm not that hungry. Thank you."
She hadn't slept in a week? Snape thought he did enough sleeping for the two of them for her not to be tired. She stared at him the whole time she was talking to Dumbledore. He couldn't stop staring at her. He didn't even look away when Professor McGonagall came to and asked for someone to help her up. Dumbledore bent down to help her and she looked at the woman and looked back to the tornado. The woman saw this and turned around.
"Oh! I forgot to put that away." She turned around to the tornado and reached out her hand and the tornado shrunk even more in size until it was no bigger than a marble. She cupped the tiny thing in her hand and placed it inside her robes. Everyone looked on astonished.
"Hello again Professors'. Hello again Severus."
Oh God, she said his name. He couldn't breathe. His mouth opened slightly but nothing came out. She noticed this and smiled. Her smile was wicked. She seemed pleased that she had this effect on him.
"Why have you come to Hogwarts?" asked McGonagall.
Before she could answer Dumbledore stepped in and said, "Let's allow her to rest Minerva. She has been on a long journey and she could use a little rest before we go any further. I will fix the doors and Minerva and I will return to dinner. Severus will show you to our guest dormitory. We shall see you later after you have napped."
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore."
Severus turned and started walking upstairs, Celeste followed. He could feel her stare at his back. Once they reached the guest dormitories he finally spoke.
"Why are you here Celeste?"
"I have come because I need your help Severus."
"What could you possibly need my help for?"
"I will tell you later. I am really tired now. You should get some sleep too. You look bad."
"I would be just fine had you not taken over my mind for the last week."
"I'm sorry about that Severus, I truly am. I will explain it all to you later. I promise."
"Your promises mean nothing to me Celeste."
"How can you say that Severus. I never treated you bad."
"No you never treated me any kind of way. You never noticed me. You used me then just like you used me now."
"I admit, I did use you to get here, but all you had to do was sleep. But I never used you before."
"You used to ask for my help with homework in potions. Lead me on; let me think you were actually going to be nice to me then ignore me in the halls as you usually did."
"Severus, I am sorry you made more out of it than there was. I'm also sorry that you think I led you on."
"I didn't think. You did. You would sit there and stare at me; make me dream about you at night. Just like this past week."
"I never made you dream of me before! If you dreamt of me before it was because you wanted to and it had nothing to do with me."
She was right. He had dreamt of her because of the way he wanted her but knew he couldn't have her.
"I'm going back to dinner now. Are you sure you don't want anything? I can have something brought up for you."
"No thank you. I'm fine." He started to walk away. "Oh and Severus," he turned to look at her, "Sweet dreams."
She had smiled as she said it; that wicked smile. He dreaded the night. She would be there again; he knew it. She was going to torment him as she had done so many times before. She had lied, trying to make him feel embarrassed. She had the power to invade dreams, control dreams; even make dreams come true as long as it was something she wanted too. Not many people had the gift to do this. She figured out in her sixth year at Hogwarts that she could. Once she learned to control it she used it to her advantage. The Dark Lord had tried recruiting her because of her talents; everyone knew that. She had refused and she was on his list of enemies. Some had said that she was his next target after the Potters. She would be dead right now if it had not been for baby Harry Potter.
She used to come into his dreams, try to seduce him. He was weak and too many more times than not she succeeded. She would make him dream of her tonight. He would let her. It's not like he had a choice anyways.
Snape returned to the Great hall. The students were all still in shock. The chaos had left the room and order had returned. Harry, Ron, and Hermione watched Snape as he went to his place at the professor's table. Dinner resumed; some had lost their appetites and were excused.
Dumbledore had never mentioned about what had happened outside. It was up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione to figure it out, butt hey would wait until tomorrow to find out. The events of the evening had tired them out.

Snape made sure he had a glass of water beside his bed before he climbed under the covers. He would usually wake up with sweat dripping down his chest and need something to cool him down. He lay back and thought about her. What would she make him dream about tonight? As he lay there thinking about her his eyelids grew heavy and the world around him faded to black.
Celeste sent dreams to him as soon as he fell asleep. She had wasted no time. She sent herself this time. She had before when they were younger to tease him, but this time she wanted him to want her.
He hadn't been asleep long before she appeared to him. She was standing in his room. Just standing there at the end of his bed in a satiny white gown. It was very sexy but somehow he couldn't quite imagine her wearing white. Her hair, which she usually wore pulled back, was down. Her long golden hair surrounded her. It was a beautiful contrast to his black tresses. It curled all the way down her back. She smiled at him, showing him the most gorgeous smile he had ever seen. She had the softest features; even her piercing blue eyes seemed to be softer now. She had a different air about her now. It was almost sexual. She had begun to crawl up the bed towards him. The way she moved seduced his vision. She had stopped when she was at his chest. Her hand reached down to brush against his stomach before it reached up to brush the hair out of his eyes. "I want you to see me." Her voice was soft and gentle now, a way it had never been before. He reached up to grab her hand as she pulled away. It felt so real, so soft. Her skin was like pure silk; a beautiful creamy tan color that resembled the color of honey. He brought her hand to his lips to kiss it. Her skin even tasted as sweet as honey. She was more than he could handle. His hand touched her face. She closed her eyes and leaned against it, then opened her eyes to smile at him. He brought her face down towards his, wanting nothing more than to kiss her beautiful lips. She closed her eyes as his lips touched hers and their mouths became one. She chose to end his dream there. She left his dreams and returned to her own.
Snape had waked up. Did he really kiss her? She had never presented herself to him that way in his dreams. Why had she done it this time? He took a drink of water and lay back down to fall asleep. She never returned to his dreams that night, but he relived that kiss over and over again in his mind.
