Anyone care to go over the votes for me? I think I know whom she is going
to be with, but if the votes are completely one sided then I may change my
decision. ^^

The Great Hall echoed with the sound of happy students. Among the many conversations, most of which were about the twenty some-odd Aurors walking the halls of Hogwarts, or the new young woman who sat at the staff table, a certain black haired Gryffindor stared at the Slytherin table. Serenity sat with Draco talking happily, Pansy glaring daggers at the woman who dared take Draco from her. Dumbledore rose and all fell silent.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. I have a few announcements to make. First, I would like to introduce Professor Elena. She will be filling in as your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher because Professor Lupin is unable to be here. Second, as you have probably noticed, we have some guests that will be staying at the school this year. They will be walking through the halls and such . . ." He sat back down after making a few other minor notices.
Serenity turned and looked up to the staff table. Snape wasn't there. She kissed Draco lightly on the cheek and left the Great Hall, hurrying to the dungeons. She knocked on the door softly.
"Serverus? Are you in there? " No response. She turned and walked towards his sleeping quarters, and did the same thing.
"Come in. . ." A quiet voice replied. Serenity opened the door and walked in. Snape lay back on his bed with a troubled expression.
"Serverus? . . . Is something wrong?" She sat next to the distressed potions master. He sighed and looked up at her, his hand brushed against her cheek lightly.
"No, everything is fine. I'm just not feeling well." He lied, forcing himself to smile. She looked him over curiously then nodded, and rested beside him; She pulled his arm around her and placed her head on his chest. He tensed at her touch, her closeness, this innocent gesture that scared him so. Yes, it scared him. He who once had such a cold heart that some would swear there wasn't a heart at all. Snape's arm wrapped around her waist, taking her hand in his as he stared down at the small ring he had given her. He feared his feelings; he was scared that she didn't feel the same way, that she would leave his life forever if she ever found out. Though what if she did feel the same way? It would only make things harder, they could never be together; He was much older then her, he was her professor. Dumbledore would not allow it . . .Voldemort would not allow it. No, he would not tell her. He will not put her through all that.
Serenity looked up to Snape. He stared down at her his expression still troubled, though he tried to hide it behind a gentle smile. What was he thinking about? She asked herself silently, looking away from him and resting in his warm embrace.

Harry sat up in the common rooms, the Marauders Map in his hands. Something caught his eyes. Snape and Serenity were together, so close that there was only one dot yet both of their names were written there. Not only that, but it wasn't in the dungeons it was in a fairly large room near the Slytherin dorms. They were together in Snape's bedroom! That had to be it! Ron looked over Harry's shoulder curiously, nearly thrown back as Harry jumped up.
"Harry! What's up?" He asked, standing up as well. "Hey where are you going?" The two ran down the stares and out of the common room. They stopped in front of two black doors, a green serpent carved on them. "Where? No way . . ." Ron looked to Harry with a questioning look. Harry knocked on the door quickly. After a minute Snape pulled the doors open and glared at the two.
"Potter! What do you think you're doing here?" He was about to say more, but the Gryffindor students before him seemed distracted.
Harry could have died right there. Snape answered the door in a pair of black, silk pants and a dark green robe resting on his shoulders, and began to yell at him, but Harry heard absolutely none of it. He stared past Snape, looking at the potion master's bed that, even though it's true owner was gone, was still occupied. Serenity lay comfortably in the bed, her hair loose and falling freely down the side of the bed. She was sleeping with the blankets pulled around her, but this is not what Harry thought. He glared at the older man before him and took off.
~Snape's POV~
'The nerve of this boy! He doesn't even look at me when I speak to him!' I turned to see what had distracted the two students before me. 'Serenity. Oh god! This can't be any worse!' I turned to see Potter and he friend glare at me then run away. What am I going to do if he goes to the headmaster? Having two young boys, who will surely exaggerate the tale, saw Serenity lying in my bed and though she was asleep, in the position she was in it could easily have brought some rather immoral thoughts to the boy's minds.
~End of Snape's POV~
It was nearly midnight, and Snape sat in Dumbledore's office. Serenity sat beside him, and Harry and Ron stood in the back. Dumbledore sat at his desk and looked to the potions master.
"Serverus. I'm sure you know why you are here." The headmaster started. Snape nodded. "My friend. I never expected this from you. Though I'm sure parts of the boys' stories are more embellished . . . To have relations with a student is illicit, especially sexual relations." Serenity looked up swiftly in shock.
"No! It's . . . It's not like that! Albus she simply came to my room to see if I was all right because I hadn't been at the feast! She had fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake her! Nothing happened!" Snape stammered quickly.
"Serverus. I trust you, but Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley tell me that they saw miss Riddle lying in your bed with only a blanket covering her, and that you wore very little as well." Albus started, but Serenity interrupted.
"Professor. It's my fault, but as Professor Snape says; nothing happened. I had gone looking for him when I realized he wasn't at the feast. He wasn't in the dungeons so I checked to see if he was in his room. We talked and I fell asleep. I was also fully clothed, despite what you've heard! Professor Snape is like a . . .father to me." She stared at Dumbledore, begging him to believe her.
-Serenity's Point of View-
A father? Did I really say that? That couldn't be more wrong. He is so much more then that! A friend or a confidant, but not like a father. Wait. Serverus? Why does that seem to make you sad? You look even more miserable then you were a moment ago. Could you possibly think of me as something more? Could you -? No. That's stupid. He could never feel for me like I do for him. I hope all of this doesn't ruin everything for you. I can't stand to see you like this, and it's all my fault! I wish I could run away, but Dumbledore has to understand!
-End of POV-
"I guess I don't really have any proof, and I can't see you doing something like that with a student . . . so you're dismissed, but you two should keep your distance from now on." Dumbledore sighed. They all left the office. 'Tomorrow is going to be a very bad day.' Was the thought that ran through the minds of three people who left the office.
