Thanks for all of the reviews!
Chapter 2
Clock Tower
Marion sighed. It was now 11:58. I knew he wasn't gonna come.Why did I have to listen to Desiree and get out of bed this morning? Speaking of Desiree,
who was now pacing up and down street cursing that would do a salior(or Snape)proud, Marion had to wonder what this mystery man would have been like. Probably an ugly loser with greasy hair and yellow skin. Not that looks matter. Marion was just about to turn and leave Desiree to her fun when she saw someone walking in her direction.
All Marion could do was stare.The man was tall, probably 6'2 or somewhere around there. He had shoulder lengh black hair that was tied back at the nape of his neck. He was wearing black pants(that Marion was sure was leather)and army-style boots.His shirt was a dark blood red, it almost looked black.
But what caught Marion was his eyes. They were black pools, they looked like they were bottomless. And all Marion wanted to do was lose herself in them.She hadn't even noticed that Desiree had stopped her cursing(to the relief of all the mothers in a 12 foot raduis). All she saw was that handsome man walking toward her.
He stopped infront of her and began to speak. Holy shit. The man's voice was PERFECT. It was husky and Marion wanted to hear it whisper sweet words in her ear for the rest of her life.When the man tapped her shoulder, Marion snapped out of her dream world.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
The man sighed and said, "I asked if your name was Marion?"
"Uh...oh! Yes it is!"
"Well, my name is Severus. I believe that I answered your personal ad in the paper?"
"Oh! Right! Well, um...I'm not too sure about what to do now." Marion looked at Severus. "So, Severus any thoughts?"
Severus looked thoughtful for a minute. "I know of very nice karokoe(a/n: yes i spelled that wrong)bar about 3 or 4 blocks from here."
Marion, who was too busy staring into those bottomless black eyes readily agreed. Desiree had slipped away to the two some private time to get to know each other. Severus raised an eyebrow at Marion's lack of speech. Nonetheless, he offered her his arm and led her down the street to the karoke bar.
Snape pov
I can't believe I'm really doing this. I haven't been on a date in years. Much less with a muggle. Sometimes I don't know WHAT posses Albus sometimes, But I wish it would stop. Or take over Flinch. That would be funny. Besides, Mary, or whatever her name is, probably is one of two things. One, ugly. Two, prepy. Shit, I think I see her.
Oh, dear Merlin.
She looks...not at all like I imagined. She's wearing VERY tight fitting jeans. I can see every curve of her body. For a muggle it's not half-bad. She doesn't look like a prep ethier. Which is good. Anyway, I just want to get this date over with so I can go back to my potions.
I walk up to her and intorduce myself. For some reason she's staring at me. Great. Just bloody great.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Perfect. The girl isn't even listening to me.
I sighed. "I asked if your name was Marion?" The girl, Marion hopefully so I can get this godamn date over with and go home.
After about 30 or so seconds, she finally decides to grace me with an answer.
"Uh...oh! Yes, it is!" Not a very smart answer, but at least we're getting somewhere. But not fast enough.
"Well. my name is Severus. I believe that I answered your personal ad in the paper?" God, I can't believe I'm being civial. To a muggle. If the Dark Lord doesn't kill Albus, I will.
"Oh! Right! Well um...I'm not too sure about what to do now." Then, she turns to look at me! Like I know what the bloody hell to do on a date! "So Severus. any thoughts?" I had to think for a minute. Where to go...wait, I saw a karoke bar on my way down here. It will have to do. Lunch, maybe a dance, say how nice it was to meet her, leave then never come back. Yes, that will work. But what is that pang in my heart? Is it guilt? Regret? Toxic gases from my potions? I destretly wish for the latter.
"I know if a very nice karoke bar about 3 or 4 blocks from here." Thankfully, Marion, agreed so I won't be forced to hunt down somewhere else. I don't know my way around this place. I offer my arm to her so we can leave. Please, Merlin let this be over quickly and swiftly.
3rd Person POV
Marion didn't know what to do. Severus looked like a prince charming she had always pictured coming to her aid when the other children would pick on her. This is when she was like five or so. Now Marion's fanties are a little more...graphic. Not too graphic. They were like PG13 or something. Anyway, Marion couldn't help but wonder why HE had responed to Desiree's little ad. I need to get her back for that too. Marion looked up at the man who was walking beside her. It was about 12:35, and the way the sun hit was perfect. His deep black hair looked even blacker. Sure, he was a little pale, but with his dark clothes it just made him look even sexier. Oh God...don't tell me...am I in love with him? We just met!Marion looked up at the man who somehow captured her heart in such a short time.
The gentle breeze was blowing his hair, causing some of the shorter strands to break free of his ponytail. Before Marion could stop herself she reached and tucked the rebelius hair behind his ear. Severus, starled by this looked down at her. "Why did you do that for?" Severus asked. "Um...I...well that is...um." Marion didn't know how to explain what she did. It was like something told her to do it and she couldn't fight it. Luckily, Severus took pity on her and held up a hand to quiet her.
"Never mind. Look we're here."
Sure enough, when Marion looked up there was a sign that said 'Big Joe's Bar of Tunes' "...What the hell?" Marion said looking at the sign then at Severus. The man in question just shrugged and led his date inside. They took a seat in the very back of the bar(does that surprise you? at all?)and Severus called a waitress over to take their orders. "So," Marion started trying to start a conversion with her dark hair company, "Do you sing?"
Severus just glared at her. But it had no effect so he replied. "Of course not. Do you?" Marion blushed why the hell am I blushing so much today? and looked down as she mumbled something. Severus put his hand to his ear and said, "Pardon me, but I seem to have lost my hearing. Can you repeat that a little louder?" Marion glared at him. Severus was shocked to see it was a glare that rivaled his own. Nice. "I said, yes I do sing." Severus just smirked and waved his hand toward the stage where someone just finished sing 'Billy's got his beer googles on'. "Fine. I will." Needless to say, Severus was shocked. He hadn't really thought she would agree. He watched in amazement as this young woman fearlessly climbed on stage and selected a song. His eyes widened when Marion opened her mouth and started to sing.
Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone.
Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone...
Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone...
Four scene of love and laughter.
I will be okay.
All Severus could do was stare.Marion's voice was beautiful. It was like she was feeling the song. It didn't sound like words or notes. It sounded like she had lived it. Like the words in the were a part of her. It was amazing. Maybe Severus could learn to love this girl.
Aishi aeba wakareyuku
Sonna de ai kurikaeshita.
Kioku fukaku tesaguri de
Amai kage o motomete wa
I can taste the sweetness of the past
Doko ni mo anata wa inai kedo,
I'll be alright,
Me o tsubureba soko ni
Kawaranai ai o,
I believe
Severus felt as if he had heard this song before...he just couldn't place where...
Haru no hikari atsumetara hana sakasete
Natsu wa tsuki ukabu umi de mitsumete
Aki no kaze fuyu no yuki mo
Sono toiki de atatamete hoshii
Four seasons with your love
Mou ichi dou.
Negai dake no yakusoku wa
Toki ga tateba iroaseru
Can you feel me underneath the skin? Shinjite ireba sou
Donna tookute mo
Stay with me
As Marion was singing, she was feeling the words. She didn't know the song, as she had never heard it before. But, it felt right...
Haru no hana nemuru yoru ni mukae ni kite
Natsu no sunahama ni message nokoshite
Aki no ame fuyu no namida
Kazaranu ai de atatamete hoshii
Four seasons with your love
Yume no naka.
Marion scanned the crowd, to whom she payed no mind, and found Severus. Her light brown eyes caught his coal black ones.
Nagareru toki o kokoro ni
Ari no mama ni
Futari no hibi wa mou sugu omoide
Ai mo yume mo wasure mono
Itsu no hi demo atatamete hoshii
Four seasons with your love
Mune no oku
As they stared at each other, they felt as if they had been together before. It was a warm and welcome feeling. And they knew right then, that they could learn to love each other. And they would try.
Four scene, four four seasons
Four scene, I'll be alright…
Four scene, four four seasons
Four scene, stay with me…
Anna ni kasaneta omoi nara
We'll be alright...
When Marion was done singing, the crowd had jumped to their feet and were applauding her. She walked back over to where Severus was sitting. She sat down looking at her knees with a light blush covering her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but Severus cut her off.
"You sang...beatuifully." The compliment was soft and could barely be heard over the next person who was singing. Marion looked up at him. She was caught off guard by the look in his eyes. No one has ever looked at me like that before...I like it.
After lunch, Severus took Marion for a walk in the park. They were at the pond talking, when Severus's mark started to burn.Godamn it! Why now! I don't want to leave her... Marion noticed her companion clutching his right arm, and began to grow worried."Severus, what's wrong?" She reached and pulled his hand off his arm. Severus was about to protest, when Marion gently put her hand on his mark.
"What..." Severus tralied off bewildered. When Marion touched my mark the pain went away...I still have to leave though..the Dark Lord might suspect something and I can't lose my postion as a spy for the light. So, reluctant, but firm in his decision, Severus looked at Marion with(gasp!)regret written on his hansome face and in his deep black eyes. "Marion, I have to leave. I'm sorry. I'll see you again though, I promise." Before Marion could protest at his sudden departure, Severus, as corny as this sounds, sealed his promise with a kiss.
The next thing Marion knew, the man who somehow captured her heart had left.

Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone.
Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone...
Four scene of love and laughter.
I'll be alright being alone...
Four scene of love and laughter.
I will be okay.
If I meet my love, and we part,
We'll meet again, like we did before.
The sweet darkness I search for
Fumbling deep in my memories,
I can taste the sweetness of the past.
Although you're not anywhere
I'll be alright,
If I close my eyes to that,
Love won't change,
I believe
When the spring light warms, the flowers bloom
In summer, I gaze at the moon floating on the sea
The fall wind, and the winter snow
With that sigh, I wish to be warmed,
Four seasons with your love
Once again.
The promise of that only wish
Fades away when time passes.
Can you feel me underneath the skin?
If those feelings come back,
We'll be alright,
If I just believe,
No matter how far away you are,
Stay with me.
The spring flowers sleep as we meet in the night.
Leaving a message in the sandy beaches of summer.
The fall rain, the winter tears,
With a show of love, I wish to be warmed,
Four seasons with your love
In a dream.
Time flows into my heart,
And truthfully,
Our every day is nearer to a memory,
Love and dreams may be things forgotten
one day, but, my wish is to be warmed.
Four seasons with your love,
Within my heart.
Four scene, four four seasons
Four scene, I'll be alright…
Four scene, four four seasons
Four scene, stay with me…
Nice huh?
