Chapter 7:
The One You Love
"Albus, you are not going to believe this!" Minerva yelled, while almost dashing into his office.
He looked at her in surprise. "What are you talking about?"
Minerva walked to the window. "Come and look, quickly".
Albus stood next to her and peered outside. "Look", Minerva pointed at Severus and Jane.
"Well?" Albus asked, "what about them?"
"Oh Albus, can't you tell? They are a couple!"
"Minerva, how can you say such a thing!", Albus exclaimed exasperated. "Severus Snape and Jane Hooch! That must be the most impossible couple ever".
"I know", Minerva answered, grinning broadly. "Isn't it wonderful? I'm so happy for Jane, she will be even happier".
Albus began to laugh, "You're insane, those two can never become a couple".
"Maybe they are not a couple yet", Minerva said after a moment, "but you can tell they are in love with each other. Look at how close they are walking together. And they are linking arms".
"We walk arm in arm all the time", Albus retorted, still looking at Jane and Severus.
"Yes, but look at her", Minerva said convincingly, "she's positively beaming! This is so wonderful!"
She didn't notice that Albus was staring at her and when Jane kissed Severus on his cheek she let out a whoop op joy. "You see, I told you so!"
Only when she looked triumphantly at Albus, she realised how close they were together. "You see", she repeated softly.
Albus closed the distance between them en kissed her. When he felt her kissing him back, he pulled her against him. "I love you so much", he told her after their kiss had ended. "I love you too", Minerva replied, before kissing him again.
"Severus did you already think of a plan?" Jane asked, looking at him. "We need to do something to get those two together".
"I don't think that's necessary anymore, sweetheart", Severus replied, looking above him.
"What do you mean?" Jane asked surprised.
"I mean", Severus answered, "that my eyes are better then yours".
THE END.
