It was March and Serafina Nightshade walked up the Hogwarts drive it had been six years since she had rescued Severus from the death eaters and time had taken its toll on her. Reaching the door she was met by Nearly Headless Nick who escorted her to Dumbleors office. He welcomed her with a smile, as did Minerva who was sitting next to him.
"Now then Miss Nightshade firstly why do you want to became defence against the dark arts teacher?" asked Dumbledor.
"I want a change I do like my job I've seen too much to many horrors, its getting to me I don't want to do it any more. I think that with my experience I will be able to teach defence that is particle and that will help them".
"Both are extremely good reasons for wanting the job, I understand completely"
As the interviews went on things went well at the end both looked at her and said.
"The job is yours if you want it and don't worry about Severus we are both fine with it" said Minerva with a smile.
"It's not uncommon I can think of several over the years" Dumbledor said.
"Thank you very much I do appreciate this" Serafina replied.
"You have seen so much in the war it has gotten too much for you we can understand that".
Leaving Serafina walked down to the dungeon where as expected she found Severus busy. Seeing her he looked up and saw the grin on her face.
"I got in I'll work at the ministry until school breaks up then start with the new term".
"That is fantastic I am glad you've got it" he replied kissing her.
