Weeks have gone by and Ron is doing beautifully. It is one week till Christmas and that is the deadline that I have for him. I am going to take him to the courts and introduce him to that world. Show him that being a fey isn't so bad. I smirked as I looked into the winter sky.

"You'll get sick Professor if you just stand there." Harry said as he, Ron and Hermione walked towards me for the next lesson.

"Oh Harry I willna get sick. Fairies don't get the kind of sicknesses that humans and wizards get. The cold will never truly be a problem for me." I informed them as I stretched my wings and arms and started to fly.

"Miss O'Doherty what are you doing with these students?" A shrill voice came out of nowhere and made my ears cringe. It was Umbridge. She was a thorn in my side ever since the first full day of classes.

"I'm teaching Umbridge. Unless you want me to turn you into a toad I suggest that you let me do my job." I growled at her. My hair crackled and whipped like fire. If she were to touch it right now then she would be burned. You see each fey has a base element and mine is fire. Ron's base element is air. He is very good at using his fey magic. He would be my pride and joy when I brought him to the fey world.

"Professor Umbridge if it will make you feel at ease I will watch her during her lessons today." Said Severus as he came out of the shadows. I smirked at him and watched the pink toad.

"Oh yes Professor Snape that would be a grand idea. Please keep me posted if she does anything wrong." Umbridge said and got real excited for some reason. She almost skipped away from us as she left to terrorize other students. I rolled my eyes and looked at the foursome.

"Well Severus if you are going to be here then you can help me with something." I told him as we started to head towards my class room. When it is raining or snowing we take the lessons to the class room that was given to me by the headmaster.

"What ever do you wish for me to do Ciara?" Severus asked as if I were going to ask him to marry Harry.

"Oh that is easy. I just need help with a couple of potions while Ron practices his spells. I know almost all of the ingredients but there is one that I cannot remember for the life of me." I told him as we walked into the giant room as Ron walked over to the far end of the room and started to meditate.

"What kind of potions do you need Miss O'Doherty?" He asked as we walked to the dungeons. I flew slowly next to him. Chewing some of the grapes that I stole last night.

"One is a pain reducing potion. He is going to need it. The other two are something that I have to research. I know what they are I just can't for the lift of me remember the titles of them. If it is ok with you I will start making them if you just read off some potion titles." I asked as we finally got to the class room.

"I am not a research partner Ciara." He snapped at me. I just looked at him and shook my head slowly. This man was infuriating.

"I would never think of you as that. I know you are a Potions Master and I need your expertise. I can do all the work but I need someone to at least look at my work to tell me if this is not the potion that I need. Honestly I just thought that you reading a book would give you something to do while I make the potion." I informed him as anger slowly crept into my voice.

"But since this whole thing is beneath you I will do all the work by myself. Oh and don't bother watching my class. We are working on his fey dematerializing so you won't be seeing us. Good bye Master Snape." I snapped at him and flew off towards the three students. We walked towards my class room that on the inside looked like a giant garden.

"Professor are you alright?" Ron asked. I smiled at him sweetly. This boy was as close to a son as I was going to get any time soon.

"Yes Ron I am fine. Snape just makes me so angry at times. I will get over it soon enough. But right now it is time for your lesson. Now just breathe and keep practicing. Hermione will you assist me in some potion making?" I turned and asked her. Hermione smiled brightly and nodded yes. I conjured a cauldron and some ingredients and almost started until I heard my door open.

There stood Severus staring at the four of us. His eyes, even though they were as dark as night, were showing that he was in pain and that he did not mean to say such hurtful things to me. I stared at him while he walked to me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards my office. The door slammed as we both got inside.

"Ciara I am sorry. I had no right to yell at you like that. You are the closest thing to a friend I have had in 15 years. I do not want to lose you because I am a fool." He said in a whisper. I was a little shocked by this but I fluttered towards him and placed my hand on his cheek.

"I forgive you Severus. I could never stay mad at you for long." I whispered back to him and smiled as he stared into my eyes to see if I told the truth. I smiled as he saw that I was. He placed his hand on top of mine and he started to glow a little bit. I noticed that as he glowed his ears started to grow. He was part fey!

"Severus your ears!" I said a little scared. He just stared at me then walked to the bathroom to see what had happened to him.

"I am a bloody fairy?!" He screamed.
