Complications
Chapter sixteen
Conference
In the mourning the only difference between normal routine and and today was that I woke up in the infirmary but I still had my mourning coffee and I still went down to breakfast for more coffee and professor Snape still came in just minuets after me and he still had his hair in that hair tie. The only difference from normal was that I stayed later at breakfast than I normally do to watch the familiar letter written in my almost illegible scrawl that had gotten me into so much trouble last night be dropped down in front of Severus's breakfast plate by a barn owl. I watched him read the name on it as an eyebrow climbed up his four head and casually slipped it into his cloak pocket. After I made sure that my letter got to where it needed to go I left to my first period class. Other than my inconveniently placed detentions the rest of the week went by very smoothly.
Until the time that I was to meet Severus down in the kitchens. Where Severus was already waiting for me sipping a cup of tea with the place in front of him set with a cup of coffee ready just the way I like it. I smiled at his thought fullness that was surprisingly enough very uncommon among Dom's and sat down at the place obviously set for me in front of him. As I started in on the coffee and he opened the discussion with. "So my answer is yes and no and you want to talk to me about it well doesn't that sound interesting." I nodded and put my coffee down so I could reply. "Well yea I mean if you think about it I can't just out and out say no I mean what if it turns out that you realy are my mate then I would feel realy realy bad about turning you down and hurting your feelings that wouldn't exactly be thr best beginning to a mating for life. I can't say yes because besides the fact that I'm too young if wee did start something now believe me when I say that you can always tell when I'm lying and lying even if I could pull it of wouldn't feel right no matter who I was lying to. Especially Amio I mean we've known each other for eleven years and keep in mind that I am eleven and he knows no matter what when I'm lying but still I can't turn down a potential mate especially after you've already reviled yourself to me. So that's why I came up with the situation of possibly just being friends until I turn sixteen" I smiled at him and he nodded and said almost in a meek voice. "I see you've thought a lot about this." I nodded and replied "Yea I have." he took a couple more sips of his tea as I drank a small amount of coffee.
Witch now there was a very long and awkward silence and simply because it was awkward I decided to shatter it with a just making sure statement of. "So do you agree to be just friends until my sixteenth birthday?" He frowned at me and his elegant eyebrow lifted intriguingly confused as he replied. "You'll still be under age?" I just tried not to giggle at him for not quite thinking the way a Dom normally would at a moment like this. "Yes but under the magical creatures protection clause no one can do anything about it then because we are potential mates and I'll be a fully aged Inferno Maculus. There for no one can interfere with us even if I am under age unless they would like to go to Askeban." He seemed to think about it for a moment then a nod that yes I seemed to be correct. "I see." I just smiled sweetly at him trying to make the fact that he was confused for a moment almost unthinkable besides to me it was actually kind of cute but I knew he wouldn't think of it that way so I kept my mouth shut.
Then he continued sounding almost impressed "It seems that you have done your homework." I smiled and nodded blushing at the slight compliment then he spoke again. "Well I've thought over what you've just told me and yes I agree it would be wise on both parties if we waited until your magical creature coming of age to become more than just friends. Now since this whole thing has made things quite awkward I'd like to start over." He then stuck his hand out and stated. "Hello I'm Dom Severus Simon Snape." I smiled again shook his hand and stated. "Hello Severus my name is sub Tristan Damion Mince." We both smiled at each other.
yes I know shock he actually smiled and it wasn't a small smirk either it was a full out grin from ear to ear and no one died we started learning about each other mainly by asking questions like. 'Whens your birthday?' 'What's your favorite color and food?' 'What's your favorite movie and so on and so forth and it was nice relaxing and comfortable and went on until about 2 or 3 am and I was so unrelentingly tired that after I was escorted back to my room I didn't even get into my night gown before falling. Literally falling! In bed and with in seconds I was out like a light bulb but of course between sunlight noise outside my biological alarm clock and mourning breakfast commotion it was still my fate to have to wake up at 6:30 am.
