Chapter 6

The two weeks passed quickly, Catherine was doing well with the studies, she was happy that her other classes were also behind what she did at Beauxbatons. Catherine hadn't really had any alone time with Severus since that night on the Astronomy tower and she was feeling nervous about their 'date' the next day. Lily, Arabella and Mary were fussing over her wanting to make sure she looked perfect the next day. Catherine couldn't understand why. "'E knows what I look like, eetz not like we've never met."

"Yes, but it's your first date." Mary said, brushing Catherine's dark hair.

"Stop saying zat, I don't even know eef eet is a date." Catherine said

"Oh don't be daft woman, of course it is." Arabella said. She was flicking through Catherine's Cosmopolitan magazine trying to find first date advice.

"And stop trying to find advice Bella, I know 'ow to behave on a first date" Catherine said. Arabella smiled, put down the magazine and said,

"Who would of ever thought that Severus Snape could get a girl as pretty as you." Arabella said making Catherine blush. "'E is a very nice guy, zer ees some'zing zat draws me to 'im, I cannot explain"

"I can understand it, I felt it at one point in our second year" Lily said. Arabella and Mary gasped.

"No!" Mary said shocked, "How come you didn't tell us?"

"I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, plus I wasn't really sure what it was at the time, and after all, I was only twelve." Lily said smiling.

"Wow" was all Arabella managed. "Weird."

The girls were once again up late, deciding on outfits and hairstyles and make up for Catherine's date tomorrow.

They awoke the next morning feeling groggy. Catherine took a shower and started getting dressed. She put on some make up and surveyed herself in the mirror. Hearing a whistle she turned around and saw Lily and the others staring at her with a smile. "Damn girl, you look good. You'll definitely grab his attention!" Lily said.

After one final inspection, the girls decided she looked perfect and they all went down to the entrance hall together, where Catherine was meeting Severus. He was already there when she got there. She sucked in her breath and heard the other three gasp quietly behind her. He looked good! He was dressed all in black and his hair was tied back. Catherine nearly fell over. She loved it when guys tied back their long hair.

"Can you share?" Mary asked. Catherine shook her head and smiled at her friend, then walked over to Severus.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey." He replied looking her up and down, "You look good,"

"You too," she said.

"Well shall we then?" he asked holding his arm out to her.

"Yeah, let's go." She said taking his arm, she waved goodbye to her friends, who all smiled at her and made her way out of the castle with him. Some Slytherins were glaring at them as they walked out together.

"What ees d'eir problems?" she asked.

"Well generally speaking, Slytherins and Gryffindors don't usually go out together. They don't approve. They don't think a half-blood is worthy." He finished bitterly.

"But you're a 'alf blood, 'alf ze 'ouse ees. 'Ow can zey be so prejudice?" she said sounding shocked.

He shrugged, "That's just how it is." He said. "But enough of that, how are you?" he said smiling.

"I'm fine, t'anks, you?" she said returning the smile.

"Wonderful. Did I mention that you look gorgeous?" he said grinning.

"I t'ink you may 'ave mentioned it before, but you can tell me again if you like." she replied. He stopped walking, turned her towards him and kissed her. After a couple of seconds of surprise she kissed him back. They were getting really into it when a voice interrupted, "Hey watch those hands of yours Severus, or I'll beat you!" it was Lily. He blushed a bit as he pulled his hands up higher, she didn't even realize how low they were. Lily laughed with Mary and Arabella as they walked off. Catherine was thinking that she really needed to be more careful when another, nastier voice said, "Hey Snivellus, what did you have to give her to convince her to like you?" it was Sirius. Severus flushed and Catherine turned to Sirius, "What, you jealous?" she said.

"Of him? Never, his best kiss was with his mom. I can get any girl in the school," he continued as James and another short guy laughed. Remus stayed quiet.

"Well zat ees funny, cuz I don't see a girl 'ere wit' you right now, so instead of showing 'ow pa'tetic you are, why don't you just keep walking and shut your mouth." Catherine said angrily. Sirius looked like he was going to reply, but James just grabbed his arm and kept walking.

"Zat ees ze smartest decision I 'ad ever seen you make." Catherine said smirking as she saw Sirius' face flash with anger. She turned back to Severus, "Shall we keep walking? As much as I enjoy kissing you, I am starting to get rad'er 'ungry."

Smiling at her, he took her hand and together walked into Hogsmead. They went into all the stores and bought useless things and went into a tea shop that seemed to be just couples where he bought her lunch and they kissed some more, and then they made their way to the pub to join up with Lily, Arabella, and Mary.

A/N: Told you guys it was pure fluff! It's nice to get a fluff break sometimes. At least I think it is!
