A/N – This story is more what could have been…oh and is set when Voldemort was growing in strength and numbers.

Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape had been married for two years now. They both kept their own names as to avoid confusion within the wizarding society. Minerva didn't mind changing it to Snape, but he advised against it. They lived in a little cottage outside of Hogsmede during the summer. Although during that time he was barley around, he was always saying he had things to do. It was Ministry work the one day and Personal business the next. She thought he might have been having an affair, but he wasn't the type and there was no other clue to suspect it than he was gone a lot.

It was once again summer and the start of lonely season. Severus came down the stairs that morning and took some toast from the counter. He informed her he was going to London today for a meeting.

"Could I perhaps come with you this one time, please darling?" Minerva asked politely. But Severus just shot her down in flames with a firm answer of NO!

"Of course you're not going to London, the cottage needs sprucing up; you could do with a bit of a spruce yourself." Minerva hurt by his words looked in the mirror, her hair was tied in a French plait and random strands of hair had fallen out, she had puffy eyes and her skin was deathly pale. A single tear dripped down her cheek. She briskly said farewell and ran up the stairs. Severus straightened his robes and picked up a small truck, he shrunk it and placed it inside his pocket; he glanced upstairs as he went out the door.

Minerva looked in her full length mirror, no wonder he is falling out of love with me, she thought. Minerva felt she had let herself go a little since she got married. It was now starting to show. She was determined to win his love back somehow though. She started by tying her hair back in a tight bun. She brightened up her eyes with make-up and put foundation and blusher on her face. She was finally starting to feel good about herself when the door bell went.

"Hello" said Minerva as she opened the door. In front of her, stood one of her old class mates Lily Evans. She looked beautiful, long think red hair blazing in the sunlight, milky skin and gorgeous bright green eyes. Minerva started to feel a bit low after seeing her.

"Hi, I'm sorry do you remember me? I'm Lily Potter, it used to be Evans" Minerva forgot she married James Potter, he was a handsome boy, but very troublesome. Minerva invited her in and brought out some tea and biscuits. They made small tak about what they had been doing since Hogwarts. Lily was high up in the Charms department of the Ministry of Magic, she specialised in mostly memory charms.

"So anyways to why I'm here, we are going to arrange a little get together, well more like a reunion for our graduating year, just wondering if you and Severus would be up for attending?" Minerva looked hopeful, this would be an excuse to dress up and have a good time and get reaquinted with Severus. Minerva said that it would be lovely and Lily thanked her for the hospitality, said she would send an owl with the details and was on her way. Minerva just hoped that it would be ok with Severus.

Well I hoped it has intrigued you enough to wait for the next chapter which will be up shortly. Thanks for reading, review if you feel like it.
