To Live in Sin

Chapter 2: Severus's Day

Severus could not believe the day that he had. Now he knew why Hermione dreaded tea and meals with her parents. Today it was like the whole staff had decided to side with "The Grangers" in getting her married.

It started with Peeves humming "Here comes the Bride" every time he was around. Which only caused Severus to lock himself in his office. But, fate was not working with him. The Slytherins decided that today was the day for the team tryouts which he was required.

Then after tryouts the Headmaster decided that since he missed breakfast and would not be attending dinner he had to be at lunch. That was what had really set him off. Starting with Sibyll Trewlawny's newest vision.

Lunch

"Minerva, you will never guess what my tea leaves showed today," Sibyll asked of her colleague.

"I don't know, Sybill, maybe your deat will be next week," Severus sneered at her gossiping as he sat nest to Albus.

"Actually my death was next month, but what I saw were two interlinked rings. One was gold with emerald stones the other silver with ruby stones."

"What does that mean? Maybe a new way for someone to die, who is it this time?"

"Two interlocked rings means marriage Severus. And by the colors of the two rings I would guess a marriage between a Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"Severus, when did you give her a ring?" Minerva asked after hearing the explanation.

"If I had given her a ring, it would be none of your business." Severus replied sternly to the two women before getting up and stalking out of the hall.

Present

That was why he was currently sitting in his office looking at a square black velvet box sitting dead center of the desk.

He had the ring for the past two months. But every time marriage came up, she was never ready or completely not interested. But he was, he loved her and wanted to be with her.

He grabbed the ring before walking out of the office to his rooms to change for dinner. She may not have known, but he knew that tonight was her birthday and he was going to ask her to be his wife tonight whether she liked it or not.

Grand-Illusion: I think everyone who "lives in sin" has to do with the parental nagging. I love family meals when my cousins come.
