I just wanted to thank everyone that took the time to review my story last year, and this year. I really love this story because it is my first long fic that I have been able to complete. I realize that sometimes Snape is a little out of character, but a little change is good right? Well I hope everyone has a happy Christmas, and enjoy this little cut scene:

"Albus, I can't believe that you got me that hideous pair of knickers. What kind of woman do you think I am?" Minerva said after the entire faculty had departed after one of the gift exchanges.

"Oh come on know I thought that they wereƉ well sensual."

"If we weren't more than colleagues I would have to say that you are bordering on the line of sexual harassment." She said jokingly.

"Well I think that we all could use a little bit of happiness during the holidays, don't you think?" Albus said as he slipped his hand around her waist.

"Albus, please not in front of the readers."

"Oh all right, but you know that they were wondering about those knickers in chapter 5."

"Well they can wonder all they want now, we are not taking this conversation any further." Minerva said sternly.
"You know your almost starting to sound like Severus."

"Pardon me?"

"You heard me, Ms. Scrooge."

"Well perhaps I will just have to prove you wrong, I will not be compared to a Slytherin."

"Then come, show me your cat like qualities."

"Oh behave Mr. Clause."

"I am sorry reader, but I believe it is time for us to make our exit."

"Happy Christmas!"
