"Gosh, it feel so good to get out of that hospital bed, and over with all that work," Jackie said. She was walking hand in hand with Severus, he chuckled.
"All I care about it that you're fine, and you're with me," he said.
"You weren't the one stuck in that hospital bed, or doing about three month's worth of work in one month," she told him with a smile, and pushed him lightly. He laughed.
"You're too much Jackie," he told her. They sat on a bench facing each other. It was the middle of may, the graduation ceremony had ended all ready, and it was two more days until the Hogwarts Express would take Jackie back to Platform 9¾, but Jackie didn't want to leave.
"Why do you look so sad all of a sudden? Come on Jackie, you just graduation, you should be happy!" he told her. Jackie sighed, she looked into his warm black eyes.
"I don't want to leave Hogwarts, I want to be here with you," Jackie said kissing him. Snape smiled.
"I was hoping that you would say something like that," he said. Jackie looked up at him confused. He laughed again.
"What have you got up your sleeve Severus?" she asked him, narrowing her eyes in her suspicion. He just smiled at her, kissed her gently, and got up.
"It's getting chilly, come, we should go back inside, I promised your mother I would make sure you didn't get sick," he said, pulling her up with him.
"What do you mean you promise my mother?" Jackie asked him. He laughed. They walked inside the castle and up to the stairs to Jackie's common room.
"Go to bed, tomorrow's the graduation ball," he said, kissing her gently. Jackie was still glaring at him. "Oh don't look at me like that, Jackie," he said with a grin, he walked down the stairs and towards his rooms.
Jackie sighed, and walked through the portrait hole, and to her room. She smiled when she looked on her bed. There was another package lying there.
He's got to stop doing that, even though I sort of don't mind.
She sat down on her bed and opened the box, she laughed. Inside was another miniature tiger, but this one was black and green. It snarled up to her in a greeting like the other one did, speaking of the other one, it's ears perked up. And jumped from the stand to the bed and peeked into the box.
The green tiger jumped out of the box and greeted the red one, and then the both jumped onto the stand and fell asleep. Jackie picked up a note that was next to the green tiger.
No one should be alone, don't you think? Yours truly, Severus.
Jackie laughed. She glanced over at the green tiger.
"I think I'm gonna name you Kovu, ok?" she asked it, it growled in approval and fell back asleep. Then Jackie looked back into the box. There was a little ring case, she opened it and gasped.
It was silver, with a tiger face design, for the eyes were two red rubies, and to frame the face were little diamonds. She smiled, then set it down and reached for yet another letter inside the box.
Dear Jackie,
Wear the ring tomorrow at the ball, see you there,
Love Severus
Jackie smiled and put the ring next to the tigers, then quickly went to bed.
I hope he likes his presents.
Snape walked into his room, he saw a box on his bed and smiled.
She never ceases to amaze me.
He walked over to his bed and opened the black and green box. He started laughing. Inside the box was a black CD player, laying on top of a new cloak that had gold fastenings, with green snake designs, it fit him the way he liked all his cloaks to fit him, so that way when he walked, they billowed behind him. He placed the cloak down and picked up the letter that was on the bottom of the box, he read it quickly.
Dear Severus,
I never got a chance to give this to you, and I hope you like it. Oh, and you're welcome for the CD player, you can borrow my CDs any time, but you'll have to send an owl to go and get them from my house, since you know, I'm leaving.
Love (very much),
Jackie
He laughed. She's so dramatic sometimes, that it's cute. He put his things away and went to bed.
"JACKIE! Hurry up!" Kristie yelled.
"I'm coming," Jackie yelled back with a smile. Soon enough they arrived at the ball. Jackie smiled and waved at everyone she knew, but she was searching for someone and couldn't find that person.
"Lost something?" someone from behind her suddenly asked. Jackie smiled and turned around.
"I thought I lost someone, but I think they found me," Jackie told Severus, kissing him gently. She stopped and looked around blushing everyone was looking at them, along with Professor McGonagall who didn't look too please that Snape was kissing one of his students that just graduated.
"Why don't we go outside?" he asked her, taking her hand and leading her to the gardens. They walked for a while, trying to get as far from the other couples that were there. Finally they were in the middle of Hogwarts garden maze, he and Jackie sat down on a bench, and he kissed her once again.
"I'm sorry, but I was dying to do that again, and I don't think a certain Professor didn't like me doing that inside," Snape said. Jackie laughed.
"Don't be mean Severus, she has a point I guess," Jackie told him, he smiled.
"Well, besides McGonagall, did you like the ring?" Snape asked her, she nodded. "Good then, may I see it?" he asked her, Jackie again nodded and slipped the ring off of her right hand. Severus had her stand up and then he got down on one knee.
"Oh my God, Severus, what are you doing?" Jackie asked him, wide-eyed. He laughed.
"Jacqueline Michelle Leza, will you marry me?" he asked her. Jackie stood shocked for a moment, and then smiled.
"Yes, yes I will," she said as he slipped the ring on left hand. He got up and kissed her.
"About time," someone said, startling them. Snape didn't recognize the voice, and neither did Jackie, he jumped in front of her and pulled his wand out, but then laughed. Jesse, Freddie, Kristie, Lily, Becca, Rocio, Jessica, Christina, Stephanie, and Gabby came out of the maze.
"Don't shoot, cousin," Freddie said with a twinkle in his eye. Snape groaned. Jackie laughed.
"Yes Severus, that means you are going to be related to him too," Jackie said.
"HEY! I'm not that bad," Freddie said. Everyone started laughing. "Hey, I'm being serious!" That made everyone laugh even harder.
One month later, Severus and Jackie were wedded, at Hogwarts, in the middle of the maze, nonetheless.
Jessica, Rocio, Christina, Becca, Kristie, Natalia, Gabby, and Stephanie were the bridesmaids, while Freddie, Jesse, Uriel, and Severus's cousin were the best men. Jackie's little brother Johnny, whom was 10 years old, was the ring boy, and her little niece Maria was the flower girl.
And then 10 months after the wedding, they were blessed with a baby boy.
"What do you want to name him Severus?" Jackie asked him, placing the baby in his crib. Severus smiled.
"Well, if I do remember correctly, I heard you talking to Kristie once about naming your children if you ever had any, and now that I do recall, you were going to name your son Sky, and not after his father," Severus told him with a grin.
"You are being so helpful, because if I do recall, once you told Freddie that you would like to name your son after yourself, because he would be your son," Jackie said with a grin, Severus laughed. They were both stubborn and they knew it.
"Then how about we compromise?" he asked her, Jackie smiled and nodded.
"His name will be Severus Sky Snape, but we will call him Sky, deal?" Jackie asked him, he laughed.
"You are so cute when you're trying to convince me to do something," he said, Jackie smiled at him. "And yes, that will be his name," Snape said. He picked Sky up in his arms.
"I think he looks like his father," Jackie said, coming up behind him. Snape smiled.
"What makes you think that?" he asked her.
"Well, let's see, his black hair, his black eyes," Jackie said.
"No, not entirely black, they have blue in them," Snape told her. Jackie glared at him and he laughed.
"Still, he looks like his father," Jackie said.
"Well if you insist," Snape said, he laughed at the look on Jackie's face
