The Potions Master's Wedding
By Mistress Sara (aka Moony)
Disclaimer- As usual the only thing I own here is Alex and Athena, my original characters not yours. Everything else belongs to JKR, isn't that magical.
Note- If you have not read Memories Returned or Summer Days you may want to so that you know where everything is coming from. Also reviewing is cool, you all should try it. Other than that enjoy the story, here we pick up from the end of Summer Days.
Severus stood in the empty house, looking around with a confused look on his face. "SEV!" A voice screamed. "SEV! HELP ME!" It was Alex.
"Where are you?" He called desperately, turning to go one way, than changing direction. "Alex?" he called again.
"I'M HERE! HELP ME SEV! SEVERUS!" Finally Severus chose a door and flung it open.
"Alex?" He shouted, nothing but his echoing voice was heard. Something began shaking him…
"Severus? Sev, wake up." Alex said, her voice still tinged with sleep. "Sev, what is it?"
"Nothing." He muttered, sitting up in bed.
"You were calling out my name. Sev this is the third time this week…"
"Alex it's nothing, can we please just go back to sleep?" He said infuriated, lying back down.
"Fine." Alex said, slightly dejected that he wouldn't tell her what's wrong.
In the morning both were still in bad moods, Severus because of his lack of sleep and guilt-ridden dreams and Alex because of Severus' lack communication with her. They left the Summer Manor in silence, a confused Harry following behind them. They arrived at Hogwarts to find it was still relatively empty, only a few teachers were there as it was still a week until the start of term.
"Harry, you can go to your dorm if you'd rather stay there. They had to open them this week." Alex said when they got to the main staircase.
"Alright, see you at lunch." Alex said turning to follow Snape down to the dungeons. The two walked to their chambers in silence, both too proud to make the first step. Alex was still at a loss for why Severus was being so cold towards her. The summer had ended well she thought. Yes there had been the attack but everything was taken care of, Malfoy and Nexus had been returned to Azkaban, sans what little souls they had left.
Most importantly this summer was when they had finally decided on a wedding date. A thought began to creep into her mind, what if Snape had changed his mind about getting married? "I'm going to go to my office." His voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Wait, we have things to discuss first." She said, grabbing hold of his hand and leading him to one of the black leather chairs in the sitting room.
"Alex, I…"
"Sit!" She said, letting her nerves get the better of her and almost shouting at him.
"Alright, calm down woman." Snape said, slightly disgruntled by being yelled at. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked, sitting down.
"What's troubling you? And don't tell me 'nothing' I know you better than that." Alex said, standing in front of his chair with her arms crossed.
"Not this again. I told you already."
"No you didn't. You told me 'nothing's wrong, just go back to sleep.' You aren't having second thoughts about the wedding are you?" Alex asked, a look of panic creeping onto her face. What worried her more was how long he was taking to answer her.
