Chapter 3
"It's really kind of you to share your quarters with me." Alex said as they walked towards the dungeons.
"Not at all." He said in an almost kind tone. It was very hard for Severus to control himself around Alex, they used to hold hands and kiss, but now she looked at him like a stranger. He pulled out his wand and unlocked the door, "I'll teach you how to unlock the door later."
She nodded and followed him through the door and into a living room with a black leather couch and two club chairs on a soft dark green carpet.
"This is lovely Severus." She said glancing around the room in awe.
"Thank you." He said curtly. "Come, I'll show you to your room." He said solemnly, leading her down the hall from the living room to a door almost at the end of the hall. He opened the door to her room and moved to let her enter.
The room was decorated with dark purple. The four-poster bed had dark purple silk sheets. Her trunk had been brought up to the room along with her carpetbag. "This is amazing! My favourite colour is purple." She said softly, thinking that it was an extraordinary coincidence.
"What are the odds." He muttered to himself. She gave him a glance that was much like one she use to give him when he said something sarcastic.
"What?"
"Dinner is in an hour, so you might want to get ready. My room is across the hall if you need anything."
"Oh... uhm thank you." She said, smiling briefly at him as he left the room, closing the door. Alex flopped onto the bed, giving a sigh of exhaustion. She had travelled quite a distance in just one day and now she had the feeling flood her with thoughts that she had been here before and that she knew this mysterious Severus.
"Severus Snape." She breathed softly, thinking about the man who completely dressed in black and was so frightfully pale.
Of course she was rather pale herself. She pulled herself off the bed and started to get changed. She put on a pair of black robes and grabbed her favourite necklace. She didn't know where it came from, but she knew that it had to do with the time of her life she couldn't remember.
It was a silver snake pendent with emerald eyes. Alex had no idea where it came from, she had been told that she was in an accident and that's why she couldn't remember a lot of her past. But something deep down inside told her that she'd been here before.
