Severus ran back to the castle as fast as his legs would carry him. There
were no students about for it to ruin his reputation and he was desperate
to find out if she was waiting for him.
He ran to his chambers but they were empty, obviously, because there was no way that she would have been able to get past his wards. He ran to Albus' office and screamed at the gargoyle until Albus came down to see what the racket was.
Soon, Severus was perched impatiently on a lounge chair, sucking absent- mindedly on a lemon sherbet. He had accepted anything to speed Albus up; he needed to know where she was. The news nearly made him choke on the sherbet lemon. "Severus, I'm afraid that I don't know where she is at the moment, she disappeared that night." The words hit him like a lead glove. She was gone, had he got it wrong? Was it a foolish act on her part and now she regretted it? Had she fled from him? Gutted, he returned to his chambers to drink a fresh bottle of Fire Whiskey.
