Severus was lying half asleep in a spare room at Grimauld place. It was five in the morning and he was pondering upon past events. The past really seemed crazy hen you were slipping between being awake and asleep. Graduation had been a week ago for the seventh years of Hogwarts. After the ceremony, Severus and Dark had made it pretty clear that there were no hard feelings over what happened. Or at least they hoped there weren't any. Doesn't a snog-athon just say forgiveness?

Snape was about to drift back to sleep when he was rudely jolted awake by a sudden movement. Somebody had just jumped on his bed. "RISE AND SHINE SEVVY, DEAR! WAKEY WAKEY!"shouted Dark with laughter in her voice. "It's allready five! You lazy bones!" She siad, still jumping on the bed.

"Stop that..." Severus groaned. "Who let you in here?" Dark didn't stop.

"I let myself in. And I don't feel like stopping? Naa naaa!" Dark started giggling.

Severus knew how to make it stop. "Hm... I wonder what this sounds like from downstairs or next door." He pondered out loud. Dark stopped jumping and landed on Severus's back. "Ouch" He groaned. "So you just invited yourself in here?"

"Yep. And I'm tired." Dark said.

"So I suppose you'll just invite yourself in?" Snape asked.

"Move over, you shouldn't complain." That was true. Dark shoved Sev over and settled in as if she owned the place.

"I ought to tell your mother. You are a rude little thing!" Severus said.

"EW! You sound old! Don't do that." Dark whined. "Speaking of my mum..."

"I'll sound like a creep!" Severus said. Dark just hugged him.

"Nah, I'll take care of it, Sev. Trust me, I'm an expert at everyting!" Snape rolled his eyes.

Later, Dark sat in the kitchen, speaking to her mom. She had finally returned from home to be at headquarters for the summer. Dark always loved to gossip with her mother, as sad as that sounded. It was almost second natre talking about guys. "So mom, what If I had a crush on someone who I wasn't able to date until, say, a week ago like..."

"Honestly Dakota. Make it more obvious you were digging a Professor!" The two women were remarkably alike. both tres tactful! "Oh, but who? Is it Remus, he's a cutie!" Dark let her head thud onto the table.

"Guess again, Ma..." She mumbled. At that moment, Severus himself came strolling into the kitchen for somehting to eat.

"Good day, ladies." He said in his usual Snape voice. Dark's head snapped up from the table.

"No..." Dark's mother said out of disbelief, but not in disapproval.

"ChhYeahhhh..." Dark assured.

"What?" Severus asked, very confused at the cryptic conversation going on.

"Go away!" Both women said in unison. Severus grabbed an apple and left the kitchen, muttering.

"Like mother, like daughter. Honestly..."

"Well Dakota, do you really think that could work? I mean, you could try it. What would he say?"

" You should show some confidence in me, Ma. I'll ask him out now, even!" Dark said stubbornly. "Professor!" She called.

Severus entered the room again. "No need, Miss Smith. I'm not your Professor anymore." He said.

"Fine then. But what about the 'Miss Smith' thing? Anyways Severus, Could I have a word, um, in private?"

"Of course, Dakota." The two left the room, but not before Dakota and her mother exchanged thumbs ups behind Sev's back.

"My daughter, she'd a bold one..." Dark's mother chuckled to herself. If only she knew...
