Ok. I know that I said that I wanted to hear what you guys wanted to

happen, but I was inspired and decided that I was going to start writing

chapter number 7. So here it is!

***

Snape: W-what?! No... Albus is your uncle? And he wanted you to come and

teach so he could keep an eye on me?

Sheyliegh: Severus, I'm sorry.

Snape: No... forget it. It's OK. Just... just go. I want to be left alone. I'm really tired.

Just go and leave me alone to go to sleep. OK?

And without looking at him, Sheyliegh got up and left the room. When she was gone

Severus got up and undressed. He then lay down on his bed. This was definately a night

he wanted to forget.

The next mornign Severus awoke on his own, without a single knock on the door. He

realized what time it was and got up and got dressed. He went down to the great hall to

eat breakfast. But when he got there, he noticed something was wrong. He looked up

at the staff table and realized that the seat next to his, which was usually occupied

by Sheyliegh, was empty. At first he figured that maybe she was just late or something.

And then he remembered what had happened the night before. He saw Albus coming

in the room and made his way over to him.

Severus: Albus have you seen Sheyliegh this morning?

Dumbledore: Severus... she's gone.

Snape: What?! What do you mean she's gone? You fired her?!

Dumbledore: Severus, I would most certainly never fire my own neice. I think that you

should take a look at this...

He handed Severus a peice of parchment with a quickly scribbled note on it. He

recognized the handwriting at once.

Dear Severus,

I figured that it is my time to go. After everything last night and seeing the look

on your face once you had found out I betrayed you... I just couldn't take it. That's

when I realized that my time here at Hogwarts was through. I think that it's for the

best. Because when we fell in love, I felt as though I was betraying my job. But then

again, I felt as if I was betraying you. I had kept it a secret from you about my relation

to Albus. And I'm so sorry. Please understand that none of this was your fault. I just

felt like I was being torn in half. I hope you can understand.

love,

Sheyliegh

Severus stared down at the note. She had left. And she thought that he was mad at her.

This was aweful. He felt something in his stomach give an odd jerk.

Snape: Headmaster...

Dumbledore: No. Don't say anything Severus. Just do me a favor. Go get her.

Snape: But...

Dumbledore: There's no 'but's' about it. You two are in love. You need to be together.

Albus took the peice of parchment from Severus' limp hand. On the back he scribbled

down an address.

Snape: Muggle London? She lives in Muggle London?

Dumbledore: Yes. Along with her muggle mother; my sister. Now off you go.

Severus turned to leave the great hall when he stopped again at Albus' voice.

Dumbledore: One more thing Severus... tell Sheyliegh that when she returns, there's a

job here waiting for her.

Snape: But which...?

Dumbledore: Potions. I saw how well the two of you worked. And I must say that I

have never seen the children more happy during a potions lesson. When you two return

you will continue working... together. Now go before you waste any more time.

And with that he left the great hall. As eager as he was, he took off at a fast pace. He

turned the corner to see a few students heading torwards breakfast. He tried his best

not to look too happy. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't manage a grimace.

He was swelling up inside with joy. He was going to get Sheyliegh. And he felt proud.

He got outside then walked into the dark forest. He took out his wand and held it in

front of him (just in case). He walked and walked for what seemed like forever. In his

mind he kept thinking about Sheyliegh. He knew that within a few minutes time, he

would be looking into her sweet, silvery eyes again. Although she had only been gone

for such a short time, he couldn't imagine what a morning without Sheyliegh would be

like.

Finally he saw light which meant the end of the forest; and school grounds. He looked

at the peice of parchment again. And with a rather loud 'bang' he disaperated. And

just soon as he had gone he reappeared in London. He looked up at a street sign and

noticed that he was on Sheyliegh's street. He was lucky that it was winter and that

none of the neighbors were outside. Because the sight of him and his robes would be

something that the muggles wouldn't be accostomed to seeing.

He walked down the street looking at the house numbers... 29,30,31,32... finally, 33.

He stopped where he was and looked up at the house. Finally he started to walk up to

the house. He knocked on the door. Then when no one came, he knocked a little louder.

He heard bustling inside the house. Then the door flew open.

There stood Sheyliegh. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were red and puffy. She had

definately been crying.

Sheyliegh: Severus!

But Severus did not reply verbaly. Instead he pulled her close and into a passionate,

romantic kiss. Fianally when they pulled apart, she looked at him and then flung

forward hugging him. And there they stood, hugging one another.
