Chapter 42

The next morning Severus and Alex were both up early, they had to leave for Severus' mother's house by ten.

"Are we apparating or flying?"

"Flying. Remember to shrink your case." He said, closing his own case.

"Like I could forget." Alex said briefly.

"Excuse me?" He asked turning towards her.

"Nothing love, do you have a broom?"

"Of course I do." He said, eyeing her suspiciously. "Do you? Or is it going to be two on a broom?" He said, smirking at the thought of them on a broom (strange thought no?) together.

"Hate to disappoint you love but I have my own." She grinned at him.

"Very well." He said shortly, going back to pulling his own broom (dirty!) out of the closet. She shrank both of there cases and put her own in her robe pocket while handing Severus his own.

"You know… the weather is somewhat bad and it is rather cold out… perhaps we should go on the same broom. You know, to be careful."

"Well if you think that would be best." He smiled, pulling her to a kiss.

"Probably would be the clever thing to do." She grinned, giving him another kiss.

"Clever girl."

"We have to leave soon, not enough time." Alex said remorsefully.

"You lead me on so, wench."

"Don't try claiming innocence. You were playing too." She said, pulling away slightly. "Bastard."

"Well, lets get going." Snape sighed, picking his broom up and leading her towards the door.

"Do we have everything?"

"Yes, lets be off."
