Last Time:
"That was different." Dumbledore said. "James and Lily were meant to be."
"Albus, just, drop it." Remus said. "Let them do what they want." Kieran looked at him.
"Were you part of this Daddy?" Kieran asked. Remus nodded. Kieran took a deep breath and silently went upstairs to the Apprentice Dorms, to her room, and took Titania and locked her door and started packing her things.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Leaving So Soon?
Ron spent the next twenty minutes pounding on Kieran's door, but she never came out. He shouted how sorry he was and how much he cared for her, and how he didn't care what had been said. Still, she never replied. Remus knocked and tried to explain things to her, but no answer. Harry tried, nothing. Finally, Dumbledore sent a ghost in to check on her. She was sleeping, huddled up on top of the covers, fast asleep, Titania curled into her hair. As a last resort, they sent Severus up to her in the morning, and everyone else just backed off. She let him in.
"Leaving So Soon?" he said, observing all her packed things.
"I've got no other option." Kieran said softly.
"Yes you do. Tell them how you feel, and that you're going to do what you feel is right."
"It's not that easy Severus, even my own father is plotting against me."
"You need to realize that what you're family wants for you and what's best for you are sometimes the complete opposite. Look at Sirius, his family wanted him to be a death eater. Could you imagine him any other way than he is now? Your grandparent's wanted your mother to marry Peter Pettigrew! Your grandfather, asked your father's consent to have him hunted and disposed of on a full moon, for 'safety's sake.' My parents wanted me to be loyal to Voldemort. Parents, are not always right. "
"I thought he was."
"Well, now you know, don't you?" Severus asked. Kieran nodded and smiled at him.
"What happened to us?" Kieran said. "We were so close."
"We got a little too close. Then we both withdrew."
"What do you think about the whole situation? I mean, on a personal level, what do you think I should do?"
"Personally? Well, I'd probably call Dumbledore an old bag, run up to my room and pout." Severus said, with a small smile.
"No I'm Serious Sev!"
"Well, it's hard to tell you on a personal level what to do Kieran, because I'd like to say, screw them all and come with me. But I can't. All I can say to you, what I would do, is you look inside of you, at everything you've felt for Ron, and everything you've felt for Harry. Then you decide which one you would want to be with, and you tell your father, and Black, and Headmaster Dumbledore, and the boys, your decision. Tell them they have a choice, to accept your decision or to be excluded from your life."
"You really are deep outside of class, you know that don't you?"
"I have been told that before. But do you understand me? If they don't like what your heart tells you to do, you send them packing. You don't deserve a pressured life, you've been through enough."
"Thanks Sev."
"You're welcome Kieran." He said. She hugged him tightly around the middle and he hugged back, a bridge of feelings he'd tried to burn, extinguishing and renewing inside of him. He let go. "Go on now."
"You're in my room Sev." Kieran said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, now get out!" Severus said, a small smile emitting from him. "You have a whole world to explore. Friends, two boys that like you, something to do. Now get a move on." He led her out of her room and down to the great hall for lunch. Kieran sat across from Severus, not making eye contact with anyone but him. Ron and Harry sat on either side of her. Remus sat across from Harry and stared at the three teens through the whole meal. When she was done, Kieran got up.
"How about a snowball war?" Kieran suggested to the whole room. "Everyhouse for temselves. Hockey Team and teachers are a team?" Many people applauded the idea, but Dumbledore frowned.
"I think not Miss Lupin." Dumbledore said.
"Okay, so, everyone but the old bag of a head master." Kieran said, and she went out of the hall, followed by many excited students, most Slytherin, supporting her after her reference to Dumbledore. All the staff glanced at Severus.
"That was not on my prompting, I swear." Severus said.
