"Daddy?"
"Yes?" Severus replied, his face glowing with relief as his daughter's eyes slowly opened, coming into focus on him.
"Are we dead?"
"No, love." Severus whispered, kissing his daughter's temple gently. "Foolish Gryffindor." He added sharply, narrowing his eyes at the girl in his arms. "I should take fifty points off of your House for scaring us like that. Instead, I shall award one hundred points to Gryffindor, to James Potter for giving me my daughter's life."
"Amen to that, Sev." Senas chirped, tried tear tracks marring his beard, his hair tangled. Remus elbowed Senas in the ribs, a good-natured roll of his eyes followed as Senas turned to smile sweetly at Remus, slipping his arm around the werewolf's waist. "And now, I think we shall go... celebrate."
"Uck." Draco Malfoy shivered, with a shake of his head as the two men left the Great Hall arm in arm. "I shall never get used to seeing that." Suddenly turning serious, he fastened his eyes on Jamie's. "Jamie, what made you choose to do that to your father, I thought you supported him?"
"I had a great role model." Jamie said, staring right back at Draco, a small smile on his lips. "I just chose the wrong one." Jamie added, turning to his father. Draco bowed his head shyly, as Ginny went to put her arm around his waist. Jamie smiled at the irony, all around the Great Hall, were couples that his father would have never imagined in his wildest dreams. Senas and Remus: the werewolf and the aristocrat. Hermione and Severus: the student and the professor. Ginny and Draco: the Gryffindor and the Slytherin.
"Jamie?"
"Yes, Remea?" Jamie asked, turning slowly to face Remea, who was still in her father's arms.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jamie said, a smile on his lips, grateful that he had made an effort to make things proper. Jamie turned, and eyed Talyn with a wary eye, ready to be rejected. Talyn glanced up to Jamie, and smiled as he gave his older brother a pat on the back.
"Well done, brother."
