Severus's p.o.v.

"You can't do that!", I say, absolutely shocked at what he's telling me.

"I have to Severus. It's necessary."

"Why would it be necessary? I don't know anything!"

"To clear up the situation. There is a chance that Evelyn and Thor already know about you being a death eater. Probably don't know the whole story so we have to tell them."

"This is only going to complicate things.", I say.

"What things? What are you so afraid of Severus?", he asks.

"I'm not afraid of anything."

"You think she will judge you?", he asks.

"I don't care what she thinks."

"Don't lie to me. Just talk to her and explain everything. I'm sure she will understand as long as it comes from your heart."

"And what if she doesn't? Do you have any idea how hard I tried to push everything I feel away but failed every time I did that? Why?! I was perfectly fine before she came here and now I feel vulnerable again. I feel hope again. I feel like there's a chance again. And I know there isn't.", I say frustrated at myself.

"Why not?", he asks.

"She's a muggle. Voldemort will kill her the moment he realizes that she's here. Don't you understand that? Is this just a game to you?"

Albus smiles, "Oh Severus, she's more than just a muggle, much more but she doesn't know that yet. She's very capable of defending herself."

"I don't understand."

"And it's not for you to understand. I advise you to accept your feeling and talk to her. One day, everything will make sense."

I sigh, "Why can't you just tell me what you know?"

"Because it's not my place. I'm a bit shocked that you didn't connect the dots. I mean, protection potions don't work well on muggles, that's basic potion knowledge."

I frown, "I know that but I thought you had some kind of solution to that problem."

He makes a face, "No ...not really."

I don't know why I'm even trying ...

Evelyn's p.o.v.

I hit Thor's sword a few times before he finally drops it. He picks it up and runs towards me but as he swings it, I grab his wrist and twist it, making sure that at the same time my leg hits his ankle. He falls on one knee, dropping the sword again. I walk around him, wiping sweat from my face with my hand. It took him only a moment of my guard being down to wrap his hand around my leg and pulling me down, making me land on my back. He rushes on me, grabbing my wrists in a tight grip. I try to move but he has be pinned down hard so I do the only think I can ...I hit his nose with my forehead. He immediately takes his arms of mine and grabs his nose. Standing up, I pick my sword and place him next to his neck.

"You're dead.", I say, smiling.

"That's a good move.", he tells me, wiping the blood running down his lips.

"Are you okay?", I ask.

"I had better days.", he tells me, tilting his bead backwards.

"You should go to the hospital wing.", I say and he laughs, "Not the first injury I had with you. I'll be fine."

I nod, "Okay."

"Did Nick talk to Albus?", he asks, picking up a towel.

"I don't know. He didn't call me."

In that moment Minerva walks in the room and we both look at her.

"Headmaster would like to speak to you. Bring Loki along and we will meet in the hospital wing.", she informs us and leaves.

"I guess that answers my question.", Thor tells me.

X X X

We enter the hospital wing and see Severus sitting on his bed.

"Weird place to have a meeting.", Loki comments, looking around.

The moment my eyes meet with Snape's, I remember what Thor told me yesterday. I was determined to face him but Thor talked me out of it, explaining that it would make the situation worse. I can't see him the same way I did before ...I just can't.

You claim you love someone but end up working for a person that killed her? What kind of love is that?

"Oh dear, are you okay? Your nose looks awful.", Poppy rushes towards Thor.

He smiles, "It's nothing, just a little training accident."

Poppy looks at me in shock, "You did that?", she asks and, as I'm about to speak, I hear a familiar voice coming from the hallway.

Thor and I frown, looking at each other, "Rogers?", Thor asks as Dumbledore, Minerva and Steve enter the room.

Steve looks at me and smiles and the moment he does that, I rush into his arms.

"You're here.", I say to him.

"I am. It's nice to see you Evie.", he tells me, tightening his arms around me.

"You too. I've missed you so much.", I say as we part.

"Thor, Loki.", Steve greets them, his eyes staying at Loki for a few seconds.

"For everyone who doesn't know, this is Steve Rogers, leader of the Avengers. He came here since we have a situation to discuss.", Albus speaks and I start to feel nervous.

"Nick called and informed me of everything that has happened and the new informations you have gathered.", he speaks, looking at me.

"I want to clear one thing up. Severus is not a threat. He was a death eater but that's in the past. For years, he's been working undercover for me, risking his life to bring me every information he can get. Knowing that, he can help you to find out who knows something more about Silver.", Albus tells and I look at Severus. I didn't know that he was undercover, working for Albus.

"Regarding Loki ...Nick has told me a lot about you and there's a big risk if we keep you here. Give me one good reason why we should?", Albus asks Loki.

"I'm harmless right now and I can help them gather up information. I didn't come here to start chaos, I came here to be helpful. I've changed and I would like to prove that."

I frown at the amount of crap he just unloaded. But then again, we need him here so if Albus buys this shit, it's good.

Albus nods, "I will give you a chance."

Loki smiles, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness.", he tells and I roll my eyes.

"Severus will do his best to get the informations you need while Nick will research the gem you need. I hope that, in joining our forces, this situation will be over soon.", Albus tells us.

"We are honored to have your trust.", Steve tells him.

Albus nods, "I suppose you four have a lot to talk to so feel free to use the room of requirement, just be careful with any students you may see on your way there."

I smile, "We will, don't worry."

"How come Fury send you here?", Thor asks Steve as we walk down the hallway.

"Wasn't Fury's decision actually ...Albus requested me here."

"I'm sorry we worked behind your back.", I say as a big wooden door appears in front of us.

"I understand why you did that. Would like that you didn't but at least you told us the truth. Tony told me about your fight.", Steve tells, looking at me.

"Yea, he's an idiot ...nothing unusual."

"Are you capable of keeping an eye on Loki or do you need help?", Steve asks like Loki isn't even here.

"We're okay. Dragging someone else here would make things just more complicated and suspicious. Students already question why are we here.", I say.

"The original plan didn't work?", Steve asks sitting down.

"Not really. A lot of children live in outside the wizard world so they recognized us immediately.", Thor tells him.

"What did you tell them?", Steve asks.

"Albus told them that we're here to secure a tournament that will take place soon. No one asked any further for what we know.", I say.

"Look what I've found.", Thor speaks and picks up four beer bottles.

"They sure know how to make a mood.", Loki speaks.

"I was surprised by Nick's reaction when I told him everything. Honestly, I thought he would be pissed.", I say as Thor hands me the open bottle.

"The situation is not ideal but after a meeting, we all agreed you made the right choice.", Steve tells me, taking a sip.

"Even Tony?", Thor asks.

"He didn't complain too much so ...you know."

After drinking a few beers, Steve decided that it was time for him to leave.

"Where's your plane?", I ask.

"I landed in the middle of the wood, barely found a good landing spot."

"Can I walk with you to the plane?", I ask and he smiles, nodding in agreement.

"I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.", Steve speaks as we exit the castle.

"Why is that?", I ask.

"Well, first of, you didn't call me, not once. Second, we didn't really get a chance to spent time ...just you and me.

I smile, crossing my arms, "I'm sorry about that. I promise I will call you more often. And yes, we didn't but there will be time when we get back."

He puts his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer, "Or I will have to do more business trips to Hogwarts."

I laugh, placing my arm around him, "Honestly, I would like that."

"So, you're still mad at Tony?", he asks and my smile disappears, "Not mad, just ...I don't know. I mean, I should've known what his reaction would be. Should've called Nick instead of him immediately."

"He's sorry, you know."

I look at him, "You two talked?", I ask and he nods, "He gave me something for you."

We stop as Steve pulls a small device out of his pocket and hands it to me.

"MP3? Seriously?", I ask with a smile.

"He knows you like listening to music while running and made you this."

"He does know you need earbuds for this, right?", I ask.

"I have them, don't worry. Four actually ...for you and Thor.", he tells me and I smirk, "Explaining this to Thor will be a lot of fun."

"You know how much I like your company but it's getting dark and you're unarmed.", he tells me.

"Yea, I probably should head back.", I say.

"We'll see each other soon, I promise."

I smile and hug him, "Give hugs to everyone when you get back ...even Fury."

He laughs, "Can't promise that one."

"Fly safely.", I tell him and he nods, "I will. Bye."

"Bye."

Walking towards the castle, I turn the music device on and put the earbuds in my ear.

"Hey Evie. I know you're mad at me so I thought this would help you to get unmad. I know unmad is not a word but thought it would be fun."

I shake my head a little.

"Since I'm not good with words, this next song is me telling you how sorry I am."

I frown as the first beats break trough the earbuds.

"What the fuck?", I ask out loud.

"You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty

You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies."

His apology is Justin's song Sorry? Oh my God, he just typed sorry into YouTube and took the first thing that popped out. At least I hope he didn't read the lyrics because that would be concerning. And I hate his music. Now I'm afraid of what else he put on this MP3.
