Disclaimer: Once again I, DreamMaker, own nothing except Kayty and half the credit for the plot! Although if I could own any fanship I would SO own JANTO or Captain Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones to ye mere mortals not being ever faithful to the wonderful tear jerking episodes of the second best BBC TV show, only behind Doctor Who!

Chapter 2: A Shocking start of term feast- Kayty's PoV

I walked into the Great Hall still flanked by Miley and Claire. On impulse and out of habit I looked at the staff table and was subtly surprised to see the professors were the same as last year, the ones I had to worry about at any rate...but wait no! There was a newbie, looks a bit young to be an actual professor so he must be an apprentice. He had black hair that was at the nape of his neck if appearances really are everything. It was only when he lifted his head to look at me that I recognized him...ice blue met my green-grey...and before I knew it I screamed a word that I hadn't used much in the past 2 years "GABRIEL!?" For being clear across the Great Hall and then some, he was there in front of me...I can't breathe because right here in front of me is Gabriel Alesander Snape, who was thought to be dead. Wait, but how, I saw him tortured and killed; it's definitely him though he still smells of taco chips and chocolate cake mix and then-a resounding slap could be heard throughout as a silent hushed awe fell over the crowd. A bright pink handprint stood out on Gabriel's cheek where I slapped him. We looked at each other and then I did something that surprised everyone-me included-and looking into the ice blue eyes that I had loved for years and I kissed him. The most surprising thing though was that he kissed me back! For 5 minutes, while the WHOLE of Hogwarts looked on we kissed, or so I was told by Miley later but oh it was pure bliss. When the need for air became inevitable we slowly parted and the look in Gabriel's eye was something I had never seen but would want to see forever. The look in his eyes said follows me and sure enough there I was being dragged out of the Great Hall by Gabriel Snape.

~THE GREAT HALL SNAPES POV~

Well, this ought to be an interesting night. I mean, Kayty Black will be setting her eyes upon my son who was presumed dead, but wasn't or isn't due to a brilliant potion, for the first time in over 2 years. Well, the students are coming in and ah yes there's Kayty, followed by her friends, Claire and Miley, I think their names are. Now, Kayty looks up at the staff table, the surprise evident on her face, and after a moment she screamed my sons' name. For being quite a distance apart he was in front of her awful quick, Merlin looks like I might be getting Kayty as a daughter-in-law. They stood in a stare-down of sorts before slap she had slapped him. After a minutes pause she stood on tiptoes a bit and kissed my son, Gabriel Alesander Snape, clear on the lips. As expected as this was, by all of us professors, a collective gasp could be heard none the less. However shocked we might be feeling we watched in a morbid sense of curiosity I mean honestly, the daughter of Sirius Orion Black and Severus Tobias Snape kissing, the idea was absurd, but apparently it wasn't that absurd seeing as to the spectacle in front of our eyes. Oh wait, where did those two go? Oh, it's nothing Gabriel just dragged Kayty out of the hall...wait what am I saying, we won't be seeing them tonight! *shudders* on second thought, that idea that notion is something that I would be most welcome to oblviate from my mind*shudders again*
