Hi guys! Sorry it took so long to update again but I simply didn't know how to end the story. Yes people, this is the last chapter of Curse. I should call it an epilogue, though. I know it's short but I love it nonetheless.

The curse of the DADA teacher
EPILOGUE
_____________________________________________________
The atmosphere was joyous in the wizarding world. Harry had been given, along with the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Order of Merlin 1st class. Of course, it was nothing to Albus Dumbledore.
The Daily Prophet had made a fuss about this but unfortunately for them, Harry had given the exclusive interview to Luna Lovegood's father. Boy had Rita Skeeter been pissed! But the Daily Prophet had also got its hour of glory with the news of the change of minister.
Yep, dear ol' Fudge had been sacked, to the great pleasure of Harry and his friends, when he had been found days later after the war, shaking under a desk in the old Divination class in the Astronomy tower.
Serena's thoughts turned to Severus. He had reacted remarkably well after she had told him her entire story. It seemed a little farfetched at first for him to believe, but after Galaxia's generous offer to show him the past with a mind game, he had been wide-eyed and silent for a while.
Galaxia…Serena missed her friend already but had promised her to visit her sometimes. There was also the matter that she had to present her senshi to Severus and the others one day or another. Oh joy, she would have to live through yet one more tantrum fit of Haruka's in protective mode.
Luckily, Severus was strong and cunning enough to take care of himself. After all, he did live through Voldemort's reign of terror first row.
Serena sighed as a soft breeze blew her hair away gently and she leaned in her chair on the porch to get more comfortable. The wind also brought the salty odor of the sea and although she felt like taking a swim in the sea, the idea of relaxing was more interesting for now.
She was about to fall asleep when she felt strong hands embrace her shoulders from behind. She leaned in the hug and let the roaming hand take her chin up, her lips meeting Severus's in a battle for dominance.
With a moan, she gave up and opened her mouth, letting her love do as he wished with her tongue. Soon they parted as air became an issue and Severus resumed his earlier position, Serena in his possessive embrace.
She could feel him truly relax here, in their new vacation home near the sea. She had bought this little paradise just for him since he really needed a break from the kids and all the flashes of the cameras. Well, she too was becoming vexed with all the photos of her in the journals and they kinda had eloped here, Snape manor being known to everyone.
Albus, damn the old man, seemed to have already known they were going away for a few weeks and had given the children an undetermined holiday. Of course, he couldn't use the pretext that 2 of his teachers had run away and that no one was able to approach the chair of the DADA teacher within 10 feet, so he went for the most plausible explanation; the war tired them and everyone needed to rest.
Serena opened her eyes as Severus shifted slightly to be more comfortable. "I hope you didn't forget that we'll have visitors tonight?"
She heard Severus's irritated moan and chuckled at him. He scowled and crossed his arms, his shirt stretching with the movement, leaving her a view of his nicely chiseled chest. "I still don't understand why you had to tell them where we were of all people! As if Albus wasn't enough…"
Serena laughed at him, her eyes dancing with mirth. "Oh come on, Severus! They had a right to know! Harry, Sirius and Remus are nice and I trust them to not divulge our emplacement. They did tell us where they lived now, so they deserved to know."
Severus rolled his eyes at the thought. Black had burned his ancestors' house without a second thought so now, with the war being over and all, he and Harry had bought a nice manor for themselves. They had also invited Remus to stay with them and the werewolf had gladly accepted.
Sirius and Harry had become very close (not like that! I like yaoi but not in this story!) and they were currently living right beside Godric's Hollow where Harry's parents had gone back to. Severus didn't think at all that Harry living right beside his parents was a childish decision. He needed to get to know them better and explain some things. Sirius and Remus would both only be there to back him up.
Serena stared at Severus, who seemed to be deep in thought. "Ne Severus? What are you thinking about? You know, I can always call Harry to cancel tonight's diner."
Severus got out of his daze and half glared at her. "Yeah right! You've been bugging me all day about them coming here and now you want to cancel? No chance in hell I'll let you! And anyway, I don't really trust that muggle 'te-lee-phone' contraption of yours." He muttered shortly.
Serena blinked and, while biting back a playful comment about his childish distrust of muggle technology, she got up and hugged Severus. The man mumbled something under his breath but soon forgot whatever he was going to say as his arm surrounded her in a possessive embrace. She giggled again as she heard him mutter and hugged him more tightly. That was how she liked her Severus.
The potions master's hands mischievously lowered until they reached her hips, making her breath hitch in her throat. He lowered his head and, nipping at her ear on the way, he whispered playfully; "Do you think Albus will ever be able to lift the curse on your chair someday?"
Serena giggled and nipped at his exposed neck, whispering back in conspiracy; "No way in hell. The Curse of the DADA teacher is indestructible!"

FINISHED!!! *finally! ^_^;*
I hope I met your standards! I also hope you'll all still be there for 'Through your Heart'! It will be an InuYasha/Sailor Moon fic (pairing Usagi and a certain mister Ice Prince!). I think you'll love it. I already wrote 5 chapters and I'll probably be updating only once a week, depends on my humor. I don't want to feel rushed like with Curse. That's probably why I had major writer's block in the end. I love my new fic and I don't want to be out of ideas because I have to write fast. My chapters are also long, well maybe not the first but it's only the explications and how it begins. Don't worry. InuYasha and the gang are going to be there also. They'll only enter the fic in the 6th or 7th chapter, though.
Here's a preview to make you drool a little! ^_^

"I hope you'll find good people to protect and who will love you for who you are, my daughter." Whispered Ikuko Tsukino to no one in particular.
*~*
She pushed the mahogany door and sealed the Time Gates against enemy intrusion before jumping in the swirl of images below. "Ill finally be able to live in a peaceful area!" was the last thing she said before disappearing. She couldn't be more wrong.

Jaken quickly complied, quivering under the icy voice of his master. He hoisted the injured Rin onto his shoulder and gazed at his Lord inquisitively. "A human village, Milord? What if the humans refuse to heal her wounds?"
Sesshoumaru put his hand on the pulsing Toukijin, making the toad jump nervously. "Then I'll see to it that they do."
