Chapter 40
"Lessons all finished?" Severus asked.
"You scared me! Yes, all finished." Alex smiled.
"Good." He said with a faint smirk. "I've got a surprise for you." He said with a mild tone before taking her by the hand and leading her back through the passageway.
"A surprise? Really? What is it?" Alex grinned.
"If I told you than it wouldn't be a surprise now would it. Were you honestly the top student in our class?"
"Well I could still act surprised."
"Or you could be truly surprised."
"Truly, Madly, Deeply?"
"What?"
"It's a muggle movie. I have been missing the muggle world a little." She confessed. "Going to the pictures and my CD player."
"CD player?"
"Yes it's like a high tech record player." They entered the room to find it exactly how they left it. Severus went over to the coffee table in the middle of the room and picked up a chess pond.
"What is that for Sev?"
"You'll see, just hold it." He replied, placing the black marble figure in her hand. Suddenly they began spinning at a very fast speed. Alex felt as though she would be sick when…
THUD
She crashed to the cold, solid floor with Severus landing on top of her. "Was a port key really necessary? We are both capable of apparation."
"We would have had to go off the Hogwarts grounds to apparate. Seemed easier this way." He shrugged, helping her up.
"Where are we?"
"Muggle world." He said briefly before (Random inside joke: her bridal bower becomes her burial byre of bitter bereavement) opening a door. She quickly walked through the door and realized that they were in her favorite wizard friendly Italian restaurant.
"Miss Grant, such an honor to see you here again." Said a short, rather chubby Italian man walking as quickly as he could towards them.
"Mario, it's good to see you too.' Alex grinned.
"Your table is all ready Professor Snape. If you two would come this way." Mario smiled, leading them to the back corner booth that was secluded from the rest of the room. "Enjoy your meal." He smiled handing them both menus.
"How did you… I mean…"
"This is where you were first seen after all those years. I merely assumed."
"Nice ass… uming then my love." Alex grinned at him. Little did they know that at that moment they were being watched.
Interesting, no?
