Chapter 5

Madelyne stood at the entrance to the Hogwarts grounds feeling somewhat discouraged. Maybe this was a fools mission. Just as she was contemplating enter a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Can I help yeh Miss? Are you lost?." A deep gruff voice spoke at her.

" Sorry.. I'm here to see Professor Snape."

"Sorry to have startled you earlier. We don't get much visitors round here in summer. Oh I seem ter have forgot my manners Rubeus Hagrid Game Keeper, and professor of care of magical creatures at your service."

" Madelyne Malfoy."

"As in one of The Malfoys?"

"Yes" Madelyne spoke aloud to Hagrid. To her self she muttered. "Unfortunately." She continued "You might know my nephew. Draco."

"O'course Miss." Hagrid looked uncomfortable at the mere mention of Draco Malfoy. "Well," he began again. "I'm sure you'll be wanting to see Professor Snape. I leave you to be on yer way then."

" Pardon me but, well, it's been quite some time since I was a student here . I was wondering if you could direct me the way to the dungeons? If it's not to much trouble that is."

" Certainly, certainly. This way." Hagrid led Madelyne through the castle and to the top of the stairs to the dungeons. " It's just down these stairs. Classroom and office are first two doors on the left. Further down on the right is the door to private quarters." Madelyne's loins gave a funny little quiver at the mention of his private quarters, which she herself could not explain.

" Thank you. Mr. Hagrid was it?"

" Just Hagrid would be fine. Well I'll be off."

"Goodbye. Thank you." Madelyne responded. Hagrid nodded at her and was off.

Madelyne walked down the stairs. She began to silently shiver from what she could only assume had to be due to the cold as she got closer to her destination. She came to the first door. The classroom she gave a knock on the door. There was no reply. She walked a little further down the corridor to find the second door closed as the first had been. She knocked anyway. Again there was no reply. She came to the Third door on the right hand side which was also closed. By this point Madelyne began to tremble. She had never before been so intimidated by anything in her whole life. Why should this be any different. She gave a short rap on the door. There was no reply. Just as Madelyne made a motion to leave, the door swung open violently to reveal, a very unmistakably half naked Severus.

"Oh Dear." Madelyne thought aloud

I know that the Chapter is very short but I don't have much free time any more, and have been experiencing a very annoying case of writers block (haven't we all?!). I will try to write a new chapter as soon as possible. If you like the story please review. If you're kind of Luke warm or hate it review anyway with some constructive criticism. Constructive only though please. REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
