Chapter 3: Muggles, Muggles, Muggles
Once she had put the cookies in the oven, she came and sat with Severus. He looked up at her.
"So now how long do we have to wait?" he asked.
"15 minutes," she said. She grabbed the People magazine and flipped through it until she came to the crossword puzzle. She took a pen out of her pocket and started working on it. Severus looked at her. She was good-looking. She had black hair with one red tips. Her body was okay, she wasn't too fat or too skinny. Just average. But she wasn't too average, a little part of his mind kept telling him. She was kind and sweet too him, and beautiful. He went back to his paper, trying to clear his mind. 15 minutes later a timer went off and Lynn went to retrieve the cookies. Severus looked at the puzzle Lynn had been working on. It was finished. He looked up.
"You finished the whole puzzle in 15 minutes?" he half asked, half stated.
"Yeah. I've been doing those since I was 13." she said. He looked back at the puzzle. He didn't know the answers to any of the questions. It was all about muggle things:
"29 Across: "Com" or "org" alternative (in URL)"
"34 down: Meet the (2000 Ben Stiller movie" Who the hell was Ben Stiller?
"How do you know all this stuff?" he asked, (yet again...).
"Well, I've lived with muggles almost all my life." she said, while putting the cookies on a plate.
"Really? Where did you go to school?"
"Hogwarts." she said, smiling because she knew he was going to ask how.
"But you live in America."
"Well, me and my dad lived in London for a little while, maybe 8 years." she said.
"I see. Then you moved back here?"
"Yup." she set the plate down between them, "Careful, they might still be hot." she said. He picked one up.
"Good?" she asked.
"Surprisingly, yes. It's delicious." he answered.
"I'm glad." she said smiling. She took one herself and began eating, as Abi walked in. She was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt. She had the tips of her blonde hair dyed purple.
"Hey! We didn't here you come in." Lynn said.
"Hello. This must be our guest. I'm Abi." she stuck out her hand.
"Severus Snape." he said. She thought for a moment.
"Hm...Snape, Snape. Ah yes! From school. I remember you." He just nodded. " Well, I'll be in the basement if anyone wants me. And I'm taking some of the delicious looking cookies with me." she said and left.
"You didn't mention a basement on the tour." he said to Lynn.
"Oh yeah, how could I forget the basement? You want to go se it now?" she asked.
"Sure, why not?" he sad. She got up and led him back into the hallway towards one of the doors Severus had noticed earlier. There were door beads instead of a door. They walked down the flight of stairs and when the reached the bottom, Severus looked around. There was a big TV with a black leather couch, leather love seat and a leather chair around it. There was also a bookshelf and a computer. There seemed to be another part of the basement, but it was separated with curtains.
"C'mon," Lynn said and led him over to the couch.
"Oh, hey guys." Abi said. She was lying on the couch. Lynn sat on the love seat and Severus took a seat on the chair. He looked over at Lynn. She had put her feet up on the couch and was watching TV. He looked to the TV. They seemed to be watching about a man who dresses up as a woman to get an acting job. He sighed. He was not going to do well in the muggle world.
