Disclaimer - I'm going to start putting these every couple chapters sigh anyway, I don't own much. Just Persephone, Bobby and Claire.
LadyofTime - Thank you! I do try to update as much as possible.
Lintered - Yeah, I kind of made that obvious didn't I? Ah well, easier to tell that way then being like 'Who the hell is that!?' lol I love Jack! Both the monkey and the Sparrow!
sephora85 - Thanks! Believe me, I hope Sephie and Sev get along eventually too, it's hard trying to figure out more arguments for them!
Persephone was shaken awake around 1 o' clock by a yelling Hermione Granger.
"Sephie! Wake up, we're getting married today!"
Persephone groaned and rolled over.
"That's it! Aguamenti!"
Persephone was drenched in cold water; she jumped up and shrieked, "Hermione! What the hell is wrong with you!?"
"We're getting married today." Ginny stated.
"So you – what!" Persephone ran to the washroom and took a quick shower. After she was done she pulled her pajamas back on, letting her wet hair hang down over her face. When she was back in her dorm she looked and Ginny and Hermione and Ginny immediately started laughing.
"You should have seen your face!" Ginny said, clutching her sides and falling over on Persephone's bed.
"Very funny." Persephone muttered. Looking over at Hermione she saw her staring at a wall, unblinking. She waved her hand in front of Hermione's face. "Hermione, anybody home?"
"We're getting married today," Hermione whispered, clearly frightened.
"Oh-Kay, Ginny, why don't you go get Hermione's and yours dress and whatever else and then we can get ready in here. She looks like she's going to have a heart attack or something."
Ginny nodded before quickly leaving the room, she came back several minutes later carrying two dresses and two small boxes on top of them, dangling off of her right arm were two pairs of shoes, one black and the other lilac. Entering the room she saw Persephone trying to calm Hermione down rather unsuccessfully. Ginny dropped the dresses on Persephone's trunk before sitting on the other side of Hermione.
"I think we should start with Hermione first," Ginny said, pulling out her wand, "Maybe give her some nice curls."
The three girls spent the next 4 hours getting ready, Persephone glanced at her watch soon after they finished and gasped. "It's quarter to six!"
Hermione and Ginny stood up and walked over to the doorway, waiting for Persephone to put on her pale blue ballet flats. They hurriedly walked down to the Great Hall and sat in one of the chairs on the girl's side of the hall.
Fudge started his speech soon after six, Persephone pretended to be asleep for part of it, making Ginny laugh.
"Hem hem," Ginny said, clearing her throat. Persephone and Ginny erupted in a fit of giggles, which Hermione soon joined, causing several people to turn around in their seats to look at the giggling trio.
"You know how in wedding the girls usually wear white to symbolize purity and happiness and basically everything good?" Ginny whispered, Hermione and Persephone nodded, "So why do the grooms wear black?" The three girls started laughing yet again, barely concealing it as several more people turned around and looked at them.
Fudge cleared his throat; "We will be going in alphabetical order by the male's last name. After you have been married please return to your original seat until the ceremony is over."
"This is going to take so long." Persephone muttered looking over at Hermione she admired the work that she and Ginny had done. Her hair was separated into two braids that joined just above her neck; the rest of it was bushy but not as much as it normally was. Ginny's hair was up in a messy bun with a few loose tendrils touching her collar.
Reaching her hand up she tucked a piece of her own hair behind her ear; it was down but curled which made it shorter than usual as it only reached the tops of her breasts. She moved her hand again as if to push up her glasses belatedly realizing she had put her contacts in.
Persephone sat there rather quietly, slightly shocked by the fact that she had to kiss him to show that they were married. Soon she found herself up at the alter in front of Fudge the entire school and all their guests and beside Snape, she had never thought that this would happen. She found herself saying 'I do' and signing a parchment.
"Is that really necessary?" She heard the cold voice of her husband.
Persephone looked shocked for a moment trying to figure out what her was talking about before realizing that he was talking to Fudge and not her.
"Yes Severus you know it is." Fudge replied.
Persephone sighed and stood on the tips of her toes; leaning forward she pressed her lips to his. After a few seconds she pulled away looking at a very shocked Severus Snape she smiled slightly and he glared at her before stalking back to his seat. Persephone stepped off the alter and returned to her seat to find Hermione and Ginny looking at her strangely.
"What?" Persephone asked. They just turned back to watch the rest of the weddings so she shrugged.
About half an hour later the mass weddings had finished everyone was free to go off and do as they pleased. Persephone was about to follow Severus out the doors and down to his – their rooms before she heard a teasing voice behind her.
"Well now, who's that pretty dame in the blue dress?"
Persephone turned around and shrieked, she ran towards the tall male and launched herself at him. He caught her around the waist and whirled her around, the both of them laughing.
Severus turned around hearing a shriek and saw his wife clinging on to a tall, blonde male. He glared at the two of them, not that either noticed.
"Oh Merlin, Bobby! What are you doing here?" She asked, kissing his cheek before he put her down.
"I got an owl from somebody named Dumbledore saying that you were getting married today. I can't believe you didn't tell me Perry!" The male responded.
She shrugged, "I didn't want to take you away from your job. And don't call me Perry. Honestly though, did you get taller? I could have sworn you were only 6'3" when I left."
"I'll call you Perry whether you like it or not, I still am 6'3" you silly dragon." He chuckled.
Persephone laughed and shook her head. "So where's my baby?"
Bobby looked around him for a minute, "I could have sworn she was right here. Oh no, I couldn't have lost her."
"You better not have." She muttered.
"Does this lovely little girl belong to you?" Someone asked.
Persephone turned around and saw Dumbledore holding the hand of a small girl, with very messy blonde hair.
"Mommy!" The girl exclaimed, her bright blue eyes lighting up when she saw Persephone.
Persephone knelt down and opened her arms; the girl ran into them and wrapped her small arms around Persephone's neck.
"I miss you! When are you coming home to me and Daddy?"
"Oh Claire, I miss you too. I'll try to come visit you over Christmas, is that okay?"
The girl nodded, and then cocked her head, "Mommy who was the guy you were kissing today?"
"Well, I got married today sweetie. That was my husband."
"Oh, okay."
"Speaking of which," Dumbledore said, "You should probably go find him and sort this out. Severus has a tendency to draw the wrong conclusion with little or no proof."
"You're probably right." Persephone sighed and handed Claire to Bobby, "It's getting late for Claire anyway and it's a long ride back home."
"Perry…have you been eating right recently?" Bobby asked.
"I'm eating just fine, thank you Bobby," Persephone ruffled Claire's hair and kissed her cheek before pulling Bobby down and kissing his cheek as well.
"You're collar bone is sort of sticking out, I'm not sure that means you're eating right."
"Bobby, I'm fine okay? Just…tired." Persephone sighed again. "I'll try to visit you over Christmas. Bye! Oh, and thanks Headmaster for bringing them here." She smiled, then turned and walked out of the Great Hall and down to the dungeons.
'How dare she!' Severus thought over and over in his mind, 'She has a child and she didn't tell me!' He was pacing back and forth and he heard a knock at the door. Stalking over to it her flung it open revealing Persephone. Half of him wanted to slam the door in her face but she had already stepped in and around him.
"Okay, before you say anything – " He cut her off abruptly.
"You have a child!" He yelled at her.
" 'Before you say anything' means that you should stop talking. Claire's not my daughter – "
"Oh, of course, she doesn't act like it either!" He snarled.
"Would you listen for two minutes! Me'n Bobby raised her, which is why she calls him 'Daddy'."
"Why would you have raised her? If she is not yours then I see no point!"
"Her Mother, my Aunt, died giving birth to her and named me the Godmother with Bobby as the Godfather. Her Father died two months later in a drunk driving incident. Bobby takes care of her while I'm at school and I get her on vacations. Does that answer all your questions?"
"Well why were you so close to 'Bobby'?"
"Not only is he my Godfather as well as Claire's but he's my best friend. He grew up very close to my family despite the nine year age difference and taught me almost everything I know." Persephone spouted then screwed up her face, "Ew, me and Bobby?"
"Well that's what it looked like!"
"So? Just because something looks one way doesn't mean it is. Now is my stuff down here or do I have to go get it?"
"It's in the room," Severus muttered, pointing to a door to the far right of a bookshelf.
Persephone nodded and walked towards the door, closing it behind her she searched through a dresser until she found her PJ's. She pulled on a baggy pair of red pants, a baggy grey shirt and her black sweater with the holes in the sleeves.
Grabbing her wand and glasses she walked into the adjoining and stood in front of the mirror, she took the charms off of her hair, leaving it with a slight curl to it, and took out her contacts. She put her glasses on before walking out and grabbing Spiritwalk out of her trunk and going back into the den.
Looking over at Severus she tried not to laugh as she saw him pacing while running his hand through his hair and muttering.
"Something wrong?" She asked.
"No," He muttered grumpily before stalking off towards the bedroom.
Severus never came back out, which was fine with Persephone. She sat down on the couch and read until about two or so before taking off her sweater and transfiguring it into a blanket. She put her book and glasses on the nearby table and curled up under it, the couch wasn't that big but it was comfy. And so, with one final sigh, Persephone fell asleep.
Severus woke up around eight and groaned when he realized he wasn't going to be getting back to sleep even though it was the weekend. He showered and got dressed quickly before exiting the bedroom completely.
About to leave his rooms he turned and noticed the sleeping girl on his couch. The blanket had fallen down sometime during the night and the baggy shirt she was wearing had ridden up. He couldn't help but look.
At first he was drawn to the few protruding ribs from not eating that well but then a red gash caught his eye. It was a large scar that went from somewhere above where her shirt was on the left side down to below her pant lines on the right side.
He noticed her stirring and looked up, her eyes fluttered open and caught his. He looked back down and so did she.
Persephone knew that he could see her scar; wanting to avoid questions she pulled her shirt back down and pulled the blanket up before rolling over and praying that he'd go away and not ask her anything about it. Unfortunately the Gods must have been sleeping.
"How did you get that scar?"
Persephone pulled the blanket over her head.
Severus walked over to her and yanked the blanket down. "How did you get that scar?"
She muttered something about a misaimed slicing hex before grabbing the blanket back from him and pulling it over her head yet again.
"For some reason I don't believe you." He said before walking out of the rooms and up to the Great Hall.
Persephone was asleep yet again when he got back but when she finally got up he didn't mention the scar and neither did she.
Okay, some bad news, my computer might be moving upstairs and if it does then I won't be able to post the chapters as often.
Next chapter - Hm...probably Christmastime. If it is then something happens to Persephone. And we'll probably see Bobby and Claire again!
R&R please! I love to know what you guys think!
