Ch.5 - Forgive you?

Marissa Brown, 28 and just out of collage, sat at her desk. She was a really good friend of the missing Potions Master. She had known Severus for many years. Since she was little. And about 3 months ago, her Sev came to her, and explained what had happened with Voldemort, Sirius Black, and the order. She had agreed to help him settle down in America as a music artist. Of course she knew about the Wizarding world. She was a witch herself. Although no one but Sev knew that.

Marissa was about 5' 11", 150 pounds. She looked like an angel. She had shoulder length Black hair, dark blue eyes, and soft features. She was wearing tight blue jeans, black and blue DC shoes, and a black shirt that said "I like you. When I rule the world one day, your death will be quick and painless." in white letters.

Marissa glanced up, startled, when she heard a knock on the door. 'wonder who it is..' she thought. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door. Upon reaching it, she opened the door, and came face to face with a man who looked quite similar to her Sev. He had shoulder length black hair, baby blue eyes, and black robes. Behind him stood about 6 or 7 people.

"Hello. My name is Marissa Brown. How may I help you?" she asked sweetly. Sirius stared. Where they at the wrong house?

"Um..Hi. does um, does Severus Snape live here?" Sirius asked nervously. Marissa looked at him suspiciously.

"...yes, he does. But how did you know his real name? Why did you want to know?" Marissa questioned.

"Look, I'm an old friend of his. I screwed up big time. I just need to talk to him. To straighten it out. Can I please talk to him?"

"...okay. How about all of you guys come in, and I'll go see if he's available." they nodded, and entered the house. "I'll be right back. Please sit in the living room, while you wait." Marissa walked up the stairs and to the studio, where Severus records his music. He was currently working on a new song called "The One I Love". It was coming along nicely. The door was opened so she walked in. Marissa looked through the window and saw Severus sitting on a stool. It looked like he was playing back what he had recorded.

When he looked up, he said, "We need to work on section 3 Bill -" Bill was the guy that helped Sev in the studio, "- it's a little off. Oh! Hey, Marissa, how are you?" he asked.

"Fine Sev, although you have some guests downstairs. I didn't get names though." she gave him an apologetic look.

"That's ok, just tell them I'll be down in a bit." Marissa nodded and went back down stairs.

"He'll be down soon, guys." she told the group at large.

"Ok, thank you." Sirius answered for everyone.

"No prob. Just not to be too loud. I have some paper work I need to finish for Sev. Ok?"

"Sure."

-5 minutes later-

Severus walked down the stairs. He didn't need to be told who was downstairs, he already knew. He'd been expecting them to arrive sooner or later. he sighed quietly before entering the room.

"Black, Lupin, Dumbeldore, Moody, Mungdungus, Diggle and Tonks. What a surprise." drawled Severus. Everyone looked up, startled. No one had heard him come in. Sirius was the one who broke the silence,

"Severus, please listen. I'm sorry for making you leave. I didn't mean it! Well, I did, but once you left i didn't anymore! Please believe me!" he pleaded.

"Don't waste your breath Black. I believe you. If only to go by your Gryfindor stubbornness to get people to believe you. Besides - "

"Wait. You believe me?"

"Did I stutter Black?" Severus sneered.

"God Severus! I'm so sorry for making you leave! I shouldn't have said or done those things. Can you ever forgive me? For everything that I've done to you...?" Sirius looked away, half wanting an answer, half not wanting it. Severus just stared at him blankly. His eyes resembling those haunting catlike eyes, no one noticed...
