Christmas day arrived and all throught the castle the sounds of carolers were heard. Fresh snow was falling outside which added another foot over night. The warmth of the fireplace was keeping Severus and Rianna very much content with the weather. Exchanging the presents they have gotten for each other.

"What is this" asked Severus "It is a note for me giving you Occlumency lessons. Are you sure about this"

"Yes and maybe it will be a world of no more nightmares." she gave a him kiss and went back to drinking her hot cocoa

"How about I give you a lesson tomorrow while there is no students and hardly any teachers here"

"It is set then want to join me for a stroll outside in the snow"

"Yes might as well have some fun today"

They got dressed into warmer clothes and made there way outside. Some of the students that did not go away for break were outside playing. She made a snowball and threw it at him. "You think your funny he said" he made one and they started a snowball fight. The day seemed to go by to quickly the sun was setting by the time they went back indoors. On the way to the Great Hall for a holiday feast Albus had stopped them.

"Happy Christmas you two"

"Happy Christmas to you also" they answered

"May I speak to you Rianna in private"

"Yes,Severus I will meet up with you in a few minutes."

"Alright now why is he giving you Occlumency lessons tell me the truth."

"He's haunting my dreams and they seem so real now"

"Well then you should do that but I already thought you knew Occlumency"

"In some ways I do but never could understand it completely and if I leave the school after the holidays like we discussed do you have a replacement for me"

"Of cours' yet give him time before you leave to think things out"

"I will know when I see his facial expressions"

Her first lesson was going to be starting shortly and in her gut she could feel something bad will happen. Severus entered the room and immediately acted like a teacher instead of her husband.

"Clear your mind of all thoughts this is your first step"

"I think it is clear enough now should I sit down"

"Of cours'"

"Anything else I should know about now"

"If any of your thoughts were to be seen I would see them but I think we already know all about them." he took his wand out "On the count of three I will begin okay"

"Okay"

"1 2 3 Legilimens!!"

He could see her talking to Sirius Black around the time before school strated last year. He faintly heard the conversation. But he made out what was said.

"Rianna please promise me you will tell Harry he is your godson if anything happens to me"

"I will pf course tell him but what will Severus think of all this"

"You were one of Lily's closest friends during school and James agreed to it. Please for christ sake they made you his Godmother even with your family bloodlines." he thought for a second"thye saw the good side of you not the bad side of you"

"I promise you I will" then she broke the spell and then by look of Severus's face he was not pleased one bit.

"You are..." he v was upset

"Yes I know and that is why I wanted to do this to show you"

"But Potter of all..." she interuppted

"Yes Harry Potter damn give the kid a break his parents died because we could not protect them from Voldemort" she left the room while he stayed there in complete shock.

By the time he got back to there quarters her stuff was packed. He saw thru the window a carriage getting packed with her belongings. He ran as quickly as he could to her.

"Why are you leaving"

"To be away from you for some time apart. I will be back at Grimmauld Manor for the reminder of the school year"

"I love you and we can work this out please stay" tears were flowing down her cheeks

"If you love me let me leave then" she went over to him and kissed him goodbye. She entered the carriage and on her way out she could hear him yell"Come Back I Love You" she could not look back since her tears were getting worse. "I love you so much I need to leave before I am killed and the baby too" she told herself . She looked back and all she could see was the faint outline of Hogwarts.
