Chapter 2
Date Between Feather and Severus
.


The cool air of autumn blew through the dusty streets of Hogsmede, causing a lock of Feather's hair to dart out of it's bun and tickle the back of her neck. She didn't do anything about it though, as one hand was holding a mocha latte, the other holding Severus's hand. She was blushing, as he stroked her hand with his fingers. No one had ever made her feel as special as Severus made her, and with a sigh, she admitted to herself just how fragile the relationship was.

Severus was friends with Lucius, who was Feather's cousin and whom she hated with a passion. Severus also didn't like Feather's best friend, Sly, because Sly was muggle-born. Feather decided to worry about it for now, and taking a sip of her latte, she vowed to enjoy her date with Severus. But by now, the single strand of pale blonde hair that had gotten free of the bun was getting in her face, and she dropped Severus's hand to fix it.

"Allow me." Severus said, tucking the lock of hair behind her ear. She blushed, as his long, slender fingers moved to the back of her neck. They were pleasantly warm in this cold afternoon, and she looked up into Severus's eyes, smiling softly. He returned the smile, and leaned down to kiss her. Her breath caught in her throat, she'd never been kissed before, and she a bundle of nerves.

"Vincent." He whispered her name, before pressing his lips into hers. (Ok, so her name was really Victoria. She preferred Vincent.) Her face flushed with heat, as she tentitively wrapped her arms around his neck, dropping the now cold latte to the ground. The kiss wasn't a particularly long one, but it felt perfect to Feather, as she smiled up at Severus. "We need to talk about something Vincent." He said, the smiling dying on his face slowly.

"What's wrong Severus?" She asked, though she knew the answer. She could see it in his eyes. He couldn't get along with her friends, and she couldn't get along with his. She sighed, dropping her eyes so she couldn't read his.

"Oh by Merlin, Vincent, I'm not dumping you!" He chuckled, gently tilting her head back so once again she met his gaze. "However... if your friends don't stop hexing me, and pranking me..." He sighed, and dropped his own eyes for a moment. "I'll have to seriously rethink whether I want to be in this relationship or not." He finished.

Tears came to Feather's eyes. "I've tried to talk to them, Sevie, I really really have. I can't control my friends." She said softly. She pulled away from him and turned around, pretending to be interested in the Shrieking Shack, but really trying to hide the pain in her eyes. Severus wrapped his arms around her and she leaned back against him unwillingly.

"Vincent." He whispered. She didn't respond. "Vincent, I don't want to let this relationship die, but your friends are trying to kill it. Please... ask them at least once more to stop."
"Alright Severus." She said, turning around and burying her head in his shoulder. "Please, can't we just enjoy our date?" She asked. Severus grinned.

"Of course. Come on, let's go to the book store, I need to see if the potion book I ordered came in."
"Alright." Feather giggled, finding herself unable to resist Severus's grin. She linked her arm in his and they ran to the bookstore, laughing in the autumn breeze.
