Chapter 6
Snape smiled as he watched his black owl leave with the flowers. He walked into the great hall, however, with his usual sneer and mean expression.He sat down next to Flitwick and Theresa. "I assume you didn't need me to dress you last night!" she laughed. "How was it last night?"
"Theresa, please take yourself out of my business."
"Whatever! I saw you last night anyway." Snape shot her a look.
"What? When?"
"Don't worry! I was Sirius Black's date. Anyway, you guys looked cute together." Snape sighed. He should have noticed her. After all, he did work with her.
"Snape's all right now aren't you? Was that flowers I saw you with this morning?" Flitwick asked.
"Shut it," Snape said.
"Severus is all loved up! Don't you think Theresa?"
"I do think he is! After all, when he eats and isn't talking, he has that dreamy far away look. Have you noticed?" Theresa asked.
"I have! I have!" Flitwick exclaimed, but Snape wasn't paying attention, but wondering if she had the flowers.

Tonks smiled when she received them. She felt bad for this all being a bet, but what could she do? If she did like him at the end of the two weeks, she could tell him.
Everything had happened so fast. Two dates, and she knew him like she had never known anyone else. He felt safe to open up to her, and was glad he felt happy enough to meet up with her in broad daylight at the next Hogsmede trip that day.
It was a simple outfit she wore, and she stood in Honeydukes, and noticed a few Hogwarts students. She paid for the chocolate, and left the shop, and walked to the Hog's Head.She saw him ordering two Butterbeers and take them to a table. She smiled and walked over. "Hey," she said. He nodded and they sat down.
"New hair again?" he asked, looking at her short red hair.
"Well. . . you know how it is." He nodded.
"Did you get the flowers?"
"They were lovely. Daffodils. My favourites."
"I know," Snape said. "You told me on our first date." She smiled, and took a sip from her drink.
"I'm surprised you don't mind seeing me when there are students around."
"Well. . . you know how it is," Snape said, mocking her slightly. She laughed.
"I had never have thought you'd have a sense of humour Severus!"
"And I'd never have thought you'd be the kind of person who liked daffodils. I expected a more expensive taste!" She laughed again.Neither of them wanted the date to end, but finally, it did. She kissed his cheek, before he went to round the students up.

"He is such a romantic! Remembering to send her favourite flowers two dates in!"
"She was way too pretty to be with him. I wonder what she sees in him."
"I can't believe he's not a vampire! I'm sure vampires don't get dates. . ."
"Could you please stop talking about me when I am right in front of you! Twenty points from Ravenclaw, Sixteen from Hufflepuff, and Thirty from Gryffindor, and anymore talking about me, and you'll be receiving detentions."
The class remained silent for the rest of the lesson.
