A/N: Sorry to any of you that dislike this chapter, but it is the only slash in this story, and it's only mentioned. Also, I do not own the song "Its Possible."

Chapter 6

Two days later, Liza popped into the Transfiguration classroom. Minerva was already sitting at the back of the classroom, both she and Hermione looked up as Liza entered. The woman smiled, sliding into a chair beside her aunt's, Minerva waved her wand, once again using a silencing charm.

"Well it wasn't lust." Liza stated quietly, risking a quick glance at her aunt.

"Please tell me you managed to leave the school to discover that."

"Uh . . . no . . . I didn't." Minerva rolled her eyes.

"You should have." She sighed, "I know you too well." She muttered.

"Well, there are many things you don't know about Miss Granger." Minerva sighed heavily.

"From the moment you told me that you were bisexual." The woman nearly spat the word, not really approving of it, "I knew it would cause trouble."

"Don't worry." Liza laughed, "She knows it was only once, and that was that."

"Good. Now, let us move on."

"All right."

"Oh!" McGonagall nearly jumped up, "I almost forgot to tell you, I can't supervise with you at the ball anymore. I've been asked to do some other work."

"Yeah right." The other woman scoffed, "You just want to see what will happen without you there."

"It's possible."

"What's possible?"

"Anything's possible." Minerva smiled, then began to sing ever-so-softly so that you could barely hear her "This might be a pool like I've read of in books, connected to one of those underground brooks! An underground river that starts here and flows, right under this bathtub and then-who knows! It's possible, anything's possible." Liza smiled, laughing softly.

"I'll always remember that song."

"That's because you heard it anytime you were over at my house, which was a lot."

"True." She jumped up, "I'm going to head off now."

"I'll see you at lunch."

"Yup." Liza smiled as she exited the room. Sighing heavily, she then began on her way through the castle. Though she was taking her time, and got rather sidetracked because of her thoughts, she managed to make it to the potions classroom just before the bell.

Severus looked up over the mass of students handing in vials of potions when he heard the door close. Liza smiled at him, looking directly at him, not shying away like she had for nearly the last two months. She simply walked through the sea of students, and took her seat at the front of the class, the seat that had been emptied far too long.

"Once you have handed in your potions and cleaned your stations, you may leave." Snape called out to his class, shocking many of them. However, they took this bonus, and the room was empty within seconds.

The man turned to Liza.

"You're back?"

"Yes." She smiled, "Finally."

"I'm glad."

"Minerva won't be with us tonight at the ball, she's got some other work to do." Severus laughed.

"I doubt it."

"That's what I said." There was a slight, non-awkward pause between the two. "Sev . . . " Liza began, sliding off the chair and taking a step toward him, "I'm really sorry about the last couple of months. I just . . . " Severus closed the distance between them, pulling her into a tight hug.

"It's okay." He whispered, "After what I did, I never thought I'd see you again. To have you come to Hogwarts was one thing, but to have you come back to me was just amazing." The woman smiled, burring her face into his robes, absorbing the rich smell, and warmth of his body. Severus kissed her head softly, happy to know that she was back.
