A/N: I'm working hard on updating this thing.. getting it done. sighs Thank god my Muse returned, but unfortunately, this is the last chapter... I've been wanting to move on to other fanfics I have on the back burner...I hope you all enjoyed this, and got a good kick out of this... hehe.
SEVENTH YEAR was a year of celebrations, surprises, and of course, exams. The whole of Hogwarts could have not ancipicated the upcoming shock that Remy Lupin and Samuel Snape had in store ....
Bramwell Filch glanced down at Emma Hagrid, grinning broadly. "So my li'l Emma, you'll .. you'll marry me?" At that, the brown-haired girl nodded, her brown eyes misting up with tears as the lanky new caretaker gathered her up into his arms, cheering with a loud holler. The couple both giggled, deciding to spend the rest of their day in Hogsmeade, school be damned.
Harlequinn Malfoy and Erin Dumbledore both glanced at each other, grinning as they emerged from the fireplace in Albus's office. Minerva rose from her seat, delighted to see her daughter and son-in-law. "Harley, have a seat.. " Albus said with a smile, his blue eyes twinkling. "...and let us celebrate."
"Damn! how did you know?" Harley said with a pout, holding Erin closely to him as Minerva paused, frowning at Albus in puzzlement. Erin giggled, blushing as she nudged Harley in the side. "Well, Minerva, we're grandparents. Didn't you know? You can see that glow on Erin's cheeks. Motherhood will suit her wonderfully." Albus said innocently as he held out a bowl. "Lemon drop, anyone?"
A roar echoed through the castle, eminating from the dungeons, where Holly Snape stood, staring her father in the eye, her steel spine thankfully enforced by her mother, who stood by her father's side, calming him down from his oncoming tirade. "Severus, honey.. She's seventeen, and Samuel's eighteen. They can date whomever they well please, darling. Just thank your lucky stars it isn't Remus or Bill Weasley. Okay, honey?" Hermione said calmly, stroking Severus's arm gently, shooting a dark glare at her seventeen year old daughter, standing tall in the doorway, her book bag slung over her shoulder, her arm around Etienne Malfoy's waist. The said young man's face was pale, and borne a glow of fright in his eyes, but seemed smooth and unruffled, young Alice and Stephen both sitting on the couch, in awe of the situation. Their big sister had married a Malfoy! at Gretna Green, no less!
"DATE?!" Severus roared, his black eyes flashing with anger, spittle flowing from his mouth as he sputtered in anger.....
Remus Lupin had to go, and go badly. Luckily, Remus was just near enough to his room not to use the staff bathroom, which was downstairs, and he really didn't want to deal with peeves right about now. Sighing a sigh of relief, Remus hurried into his private bathroom. A moment later, his ears perked up as he heard the door open, and Remy's voice. He could hear another set of footsteps, which meant it had to be Samuel with him. "I .. I did notice that, Samuel." Remy said in a nervous voice as springs creaked, the boys were sitting on the couch, and he heard a loud thump of book bags, and a nervous laugh coming from Samuel. Knowing it was a private conversation, Remus held himself back, trying to be quiet so they wouldn't know of his presence. "...No, Samuel, I do.. I do feel the same way, but.. wouldn't your dad freak? Mine would, I know." ....freak...? Remus's ears perked up again at the mention of him. Leaning on the toilet, he managed to pick up some more words from Remy, wishing for once that Samuel would use his voice while speaking with Remy. A long moment later, there was silence. A forboding silence, Remus thought as he did up his pants and slowly opened the door, peeking out of the crack. Sliding into the living room, Remus nearly jumped out of his skin, he hadn't expected.....that.... to happen. Hastily making an quiet exit, Remus scurried down to the dungeons to find Severus, ASAP. He did need to know this...
Another roar shook the bowels of the castle, Hagrid looking up from his cup of pumpkin juice and squinting at fang with a frown, shaking his head. It just wasn't Severus's day, after all... not at all... nor was it his, not after the news he had just recieved, that the cur Bramwell Filch had just proposed marriage to his darlin' girl.. at least one couple was getting a proper wedding, and not eloping to Gretna Green, oh no, not on his watch!
JUNE Emma looked magnnificient in the white dress borrowed from Hermione, Bramwell fine-looking in his deep blue robes, courtesy of Albus Dumbledore, the official of the ceremony. The entire castle was gathered in the Great Hall, which was festooned with flowers and ... white, lots of white, in the words of Severus Snape, who entered with his newborn grandchild in his arms, scowling at anyone who dared lay eyes on his grandchild, deeming them unworthy of her company. "Severus, calm down.. they won't infect her just by looking at her." Hermione said with a sigh, rolling her eyes as she took the sleeping baby from Severus's arms to return the child to its' rightful parents, who had been enjoying a quiet moment on the dance floor with Emma and Bramwell. "I know.. but I don't like... HIM.. looking at the baby." Severus grunted, glaring at Harry and Ron, who were standing near the punch bowl, congratulating a proud Etienne, and a worn-out Harlequinn, who was holding his new son in his arms, the boy a ball of energy, kicking his arms and legs. "Doesn't Harley look the image of the first-time father?" Severus said with a chuckle of arrogance. "If I recall correctly, it was YOU who went for help.. from me, a freshly graduated student."
"Oh, you." Severus growled, narrowing his eyes as he swept his wife on the dance floor, next to his son and Remy, who had been dancing the night away, the music the only thing keeping them out of trouble. "Samuel, Remy, thank you for being on your best behaviour today."
"No problem." Remy said with a grin. "I'm always here to keep Sam in line." Severus scowled deeper at that comment, choosing instead to sweep Hermione off to a darkened corner to snog her senseless, after all, wasn't that what one did at a wedding? ....if not, he would do it anyway, nothing ever stopped Severus Snape.
Remus Lupin sat at a table, watching his son dance with Samuel, shaking his head and sighing, glad that at least his son was happy and leading a good life. Remus glanced down at his empty glass, smiling warmly. It was the first time he really had felt at home, among friends and loved ones. He remembered Lily, Peter, Sirius, and James with warm fondness, instead of a cold loneliness... time indeed did heal wounds, Remus thought with a smile as he rose from his seat and glanced at Dumbledore, whose eyes were glowing madly as he went over to Remus. "Remus, my boy.. have I ever introduced you to Mira Hollis? She's a werewolf-- and newly hired on the staff as the Assistant Nurse, she'll be working under poppy this year......" Nothing would ever change, Remus thought with a laugh as he bowed to the pretty green-eyed brunette before him, slightly surprised that it had taken Dumbledore this long to play matchmaker...
FINIS.
A/N: Please do read/review.. I would appreciate it. nods sorry about the slash, but.. it didnt' seem right to put Samuel with his kind of sister.. plus, this way, everyone's kind of paired up. I kinda hate leaving people out.. hehe.
