Lost Memories
Madam Pomfery looked over Nissa for hours but she still couldn't do anything for her, because she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Sirius stood over them the whole time, watching the woman he loved, when there was nothing he could do; he felt so helpless. Madam Pomfery knew now that he wasn't evil, and wondered why she had ever thought that he would have betrayed them all.
...Nissa walked into her clothes shop, he long brown red hair was braided and up with her box hat sat aside. She was a few years younger as though in her early twenties. She was wearing a long layered skirt with a matching jacket over the top.
The older woman stood at the counter looked up as she walked through the door, she smiled at Nissa but she never smiled back; infact she looked quit sad something her friend hadn't seen in a long time.
"Are you alright?" Laura asked, as Nissa walked over and behind the counter.
There were ranks and ranks of clothes of both sides of the wall, and two dummies in both windows displaying the latest fashions of the shop; in the centre was a table set with dozen's of fabric's of all kind's samples for what you would want your outfit made out of. The back of the shop was very long, with more dummies and long tables where the fittings were done; and where the changing rooms were down beside behind the counter.
"He's done it." Nissa told her, as she pulled out her design book and quills and inks; and then put her bag under the counter.
"But I though that he had changed his mind, that they both had." Laura stated.
"Well, I'm not really sure about Infidus he has always wanted away with me; and I don't think he cares how either." Nissa told her. "Anyway, he saw me at supper the other night; but before he saw me then he didn't want to go ahead with it. He told Infidus that he had changed his mind, that he still wanted me as his wife." She paused for a moment, taking in really what she was saying herself. "I've never wanted him, yes he maybe handsome and all; but I just don't, never have felt anything for him. When I marry someone, I want to be in love with them; you do understand don't you?"
Laura smiled at her. "Of course I understand, I am married myself; but I'm not sure how you."
"Neither am I." Nissa admitted. "Though I don't have to worry at the moment, there's still time to get out of it; and hopefully by then I would have figured out something to do."
It had been a bit of a slow day, when Nissa had finally decided to take her lunch break. She had gotten far when she was called back down the stairs by Christine, the youngest woman who worked for her. Nissa came back down the stairs and walked over to her smiling.
"What can I do for you Christine?" Nissa asked pleasantly.
"Well the man over there." Christine said quietly so that she wouldn't be over heard by him. "He...her wants a whole new wardrobe."
"Well then." Nissa said as she looked over her shoulder to have a look at the man she was being told about. He was tall and was dressed all in black, and had a somewhat dark aura about him; he had dark hair about an inch or so above his shoulders.
"I don't know what to do for him." Christine told her.
"I'll deal with him then, and you can take the next one." Nissa told her.
Nissa smiled at her as she walked around and over the gentleman, though there didn't seem anything at all gentle about him; but she sensed that there was more to this man then met the eye.
"Hello, I'm Nissa Tiania." Nissa told him. "Considering the amount of clothes you are asking for, I'll be dealing with your order."
He just looked at her as though he wasn't at all bothered about what she had to say, as long as she did everything that he told her to do.
"Would you like to come through to the back with me?" Nissa told him pointing to the back of the shop, where everything like this was done.
He nodded slightly and then followed her through, they stopped at one of the larger tables; and Nissa pulled out a note pad from the draw.
"So your name is?" Nissa asked pleasantly, not being put off by his behaviour towards her.
"Severus." He answered.
Nissa smiled at him so brightly that it shocked hi making him step back away from her, because no one had ever smiled at him in such a way before.
"It's nice to meet you Severus." Nissa said pleasantly. "So what can I do for you?"
"I need a few new clothes." Severus answered.
"Ok I think I can manage that." Nissa said. "So what do you need? I take it though what ever it is that it'll have to come off dark, evil and needs to be black?"
Severus glared at her and then finally nodded.
"Why don't I take your measurements then." Nissa told him, just as she throw the tape-measure at him and it started to work straight away; startling him a little when she had thrown it at him. "So you need jackets, shirts, trousers and so on. How about I soften your look a little, unless you really do want to come across as dark and evil; even if you are, you don't want to be advertising it to the world. So I'll just soften it a little, not much because I'm sure you wouldn't like that."
Severus just looked at her, no one had ever spoken to him like she was doing; he smiled at her without even realising that he was doing so, so she smiled back at him.
"I'll take that as a yes then, to go ahead." Nissa said. "I'll have a few designs and samples ready for you by the end of the week."
"I look forward to seeing you again." Severus told her pleasantly, surprising not only Nissa but himself as well.
"And I you." Nissa said smiling back at him.
He smiled at her one last time before he turned round and left.
Nissa worked on his designs most of the week; she was quit looking forward to seeing him again, she didn't know why because she hardly knew anything about him. But there was just something about him, unlike any man she had ever met before.
It had been over a week since he had first visited the shop, she had already designed a couple of everything that he wanted for his new wardrobe; now all she needed was him to come back. It was late Friday night, and he still hadn't returned she had already sent the rest of the staff home for the night; and wasn't waiting any longer.
She started to walk over to the door to lock up, when the bell rang above as someone came in.
"Good evening." Nissa said pleasantly, when she saw who it was.
Severus smiled at her, and then turned round and turned over the closed side and turned the knob to lock the door. He then walked into the shop and followed Nissa into the back area again, as she started to pull out fabric and clothes and placing them on the table.
Severus walked around the table, and over to her; he stepped up closer to her but she didn't move away from him, infact she wanted him to move even closer...
Nissa woke up suddenly as she felt a hand touch hers, she was freezing to her very soul; but the hand seem to warm her slightly.
