Chapter 23

"What the bloody hell are you doing woman?" Severus asked, after waking up to find Alex getting dressed.

"I'm getting dressed. Remember, we're going to Hogsmead?" She smiled at him. "You'd think that you were the one who'd lost their memory."

"Are you alright?" He asked, as he watched her grimace while slowly putting her skirt on.

"Just a little soar is all." She said, letting out a little moan of pain as she finished dressing.

"Are you going to be able to walk around Hogsmead today?" Severus asked, getting out of bed and just magically dressing.

"So that's how you get all those buttons done so fast. I'll be fine, Love." She said, than smiled reassuringly.

"If you say so." He commented, going over and helping her put her shoes on.

"Come on, let's get down to breakfast." They left the room, she going a slightly slower pace then usual.

"If you'd say something next time I'll be easier with you." Snape whispered to her.

"Now why would I want that?" She asked softly.

"Severus, Alex." Dumbledore's voice called from behind them.

"Yes headmaster?" Severus asked, as he walked alongside us.

"I was wondering if you two could chaperon the children at Hogsmead today, since you were already going. Sadly Minerva is not feeling to well."

"Inform me if she requires any potions Headmaster." Severus offered.

"Thank you, I will Severus." He smiled then walked away.

"Well there goes that pleasant day." Alex sighed.
