Sakora awoke on a Sunday morning at her house. Only five more days left till school started at Hogwarts. She would be starting her fourth year. She couldn't wait to see the Slytherin common room once again. Sakora had her breakfast and started packing her trunk and then sat down and began writing a letter to Snape to let him know she was on her way over. Once she was finished, she tied the note onto her owl's leg. It was a black owl by the name of Salem.
Salem took flight into the morning sky. Sakora brought her belongings outside and waited for the Knight Bus. Once there, Sakora told the driver where she was heading. It was nearly dark by the time she reached Snape's house at Spinner's End.. She knocked on the door. A couple seconds later, the door opened and a tall man with a sallow face dressed in black, with shoulder length black hair appeared.
"Hello Severus." She said to him. Snape nodded his head and Sakora brought her trunk inside and Snape shut the door behind her.
"Good to see you again, Severus."
Sakora said as she gave him a smile.
"Did you have any problems getting here?" Snape asked.
"No sir." Sakora said. Sakora looked around to find a place to put her stuff. As if Snape was reading her mind, he told her
"I made up your room in the back, there. you can put your trunk in there."
"Thanks." Sakora said. Just as she was heading to the bedroom, Snape said,
"We'll be eating in an hour."
When Sakora was unpacking, she wrote a letter to her friends, Michelle Moon & Rachel Roe to tell them that she was staying with Snape till school started again.
A half hour before dinner, Sakora walked out of the bedroom.
"Severus, when are we going to Diagon Alley? I gotta get new school books."
"The day before school starts." Snape said. Then he added,
"We'll be staying in Knockturn Alley that night and from there, i'll give you the list you'll need to take to Diagon Alley that day. Afterwards, you'll report back to Knockturn Alley to meet me. Understood?" Sakora nodded her head and said,
"Yes Professor Snape."
"Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes." Snape said.
"I didn't know you could cook." Sakora said.
Snape gave Sakora a serious look.
"I'll pretend you didn't say that. As a matter of fact, I'm an excellent cook." He turned on his heel and walked over to the stove where some pots and a small cauldron were simmering on the top burners.
Sakora walked over to the table and sat there for the remainder of the twenty minutes till dinner was served.
"Professor, I didn't mean to offend you, sir. I just didn't think you were the chef kind of person." Sakora told him.
Without even turning around, Snape said,
"Well I'll consider that as an apology." He brought dinner to the table.
"Suppers ready. Eat up." Snape said.
Sakora looked at the meal then at Snape.
"Looks wonderful!" Sakora told him. She gave him a smile. Snape returned with a half grin. Sakora took a bite.
"Wow! It tastes great."
After they were done eating, Sakora went over to the window to tie the note to Salem's leg.
"Take these notes to Michelle and Rachel." She told him. With that, Salem took flight once again into the night sky.
Sakora helped Snape with the dishes. Afterwords she told him,
"I think I'm going to turn in for the night." And kissed him in the lips.
"G'night, Severus." Sakora said.
"Night." Snape said softly.
Sakora set off to the spare bedroom and shut the door behind her. She changed into her green and silver Pj's. After she got into bed, she lay down and sighed deeply as she lay there staring up at the ceiling until she finally fell asleep.
About three in the morning, Sakora was awoken by a noise above her head. She heard tapping on the window. It was her owl, Salem. He returned from delivering the two letters. sakora opened the window to let salem inside. It hooted and fluttered onto Sakora's bed. She walked over to get some owl pellets from the pockets of her robes and fed them to Salem. She then pet Salem on his head. He clicked his beak happily. Salem flew off Sakora's bed and perched himself on a chair that was in her room. A few minutes later, Salem was asleep.
Sakora climbed into her bed and within a few minutes, she too fell asleep until none o' clock in the morning.
When she got up, Sakora walked out into the living room, but Snape was nowhere in sight. She then proceeded to make herself breakfast. It was an hour before Snape got back.
"Where were you?" She asked.
"Just had to take care of something." Snape said trying to keep his tone casual. Sakora eyed him suspiciously, but non-the less, offered to make him breakfast.
"I'm not hungry." He told her.
"Fine." She said. "What's on the agenda for the next couple days till we go to Knockturn Alley?" She added.
"Well, I have to do paperwork and make up class assignments." Snape told her.
"Oh" Sakora said sounding kind of disappointed thinking they were going to do something fun before school started.
"That should give you some time to improve your potion making skills." Snape told her. Then he added,
"As I recall, someone had trouble with that and not to mention the fact that advance potions are rather difficult."
"Yeah. I guess my potions could use a little work." Sakora said.
For the next couple days, Snape worked on his lesson plans while sakora worked on her potions.
Night had fallen and it was two more days till school started and one more day till her and Snape would be heading to Knockturn Alley. After dinner was over with, Snape told Sakora,
"You should get to bed, don't you think? We'll be leaving tomorrow as soon a possible."
"I suppose you're right." Sakora said.
"Of course I'm right." Snape told her.
With a wave of his wand, Snape cleaned up the dinner table.
Sakora walked over to Snape and kissed him passionately on the lips. He did the same to her.
"Good night, Severus." Sakora said slightly blushing. "See you in the morning."
"G'night, Sakora." He called after her.
After Sakora went into the bedroom, she packed up her books and belongings. She opened Salem's cage and said,
"Time to get in, Salem. We'll be leaving tomorrow and I'd like to have everything packed and ready to go."
Salem hooted softly at Sakora, and as if he understood her, he fluttered into his cage. Sakora shut the cage door and locked it. She then fed Salem some owl pellets through the cage bars, She then got to bed and fell asleep for the night.
