I found myself sitting in front of the pensive that professor Snape had in his potions closet, it was hidden as if he didn't want anyone seeing it. Unable to stop myself I looked into it, then I fell. I watched silently as a young red head sat in a room, a Victorian ball gown on. She was quite shapely with Double D's at the smallest, and aged at about 16. It was now I realized I was looking at Professor Snape's Mandie.. that this was her memory.

She stood and walked to the window looking out it as if she was expecting someone or something, then a young Snape climbed into it, he was a bit older then her maybe 18 or 19 possibly 20? They seemed to be sneaking this meeting… A rendezvous if you will… She kissed both his cheeks then in the same French accent I have she said.

"I've missed you very much Sevvie"

He smiled and nodded. "I missed you too"

I stared at them a long moment confused then Snape spoke quickly.

"You ready?" He asked almost in a whisper.

"Of course I am!" She replied smiling at him brilliantly.

He handed her some roses. "I figure since I'm escorting you to the yule ball, that I'd give you something…. I mean even though we are just going as friends"

Scratch my earlier calculations he was 17.

I watched as Sev picked her up like she was weightless and set her on the broom outside the window, they were in a mansion… a HUGE mansion. Why was Mandie not at school if it was school time? Why was she in a mansion though?

I smiled when he sat behind her, though she seemed to be more interested in leaning back into him then actually flying.

"Sevvie.."

"Yes Mandie?"

"You look very handsome tonight"

"Thank you. You look gorgeous" he smiled obviously pleased with the compliment.

I waited patiently listening to them go back and forth with their jabbering before he landed and picked her up off the broom, She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Sevvie! Don't I can walk!"

"Oh come on you know you like when I carry you"

She fell silent and looked up at him her eyes glowing his eyes glowed with excitement as well…

He set her down on the floor of the great hall which had been changed around to be a ball room.

He danced with her gracefully slowly. It wasn't long before the last song played.

"Believe that magic works.. Don't be afraid. Of bein' hurt .Don't let this magic die
The answer's there Oh, just look in her eyes… And make. Your final move, mm, don't be scared she wants you to it's hard you must be brave…. Don't let this moment slip away…"

Mandie seemed so interested in him that I forgot they were with others, then he dipped her at the end of the song and his lips pressed to hers. But she didn't pull away, oh no, she kissed back.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. "That's enough" the memory faded to black and when we returned to the real world I saw Snape.

"What happened after that?"

"She got caught… we both got in trouble."

"But.. sir…who caught her? And why was this bad?"

"Its none of your concern… now go…"

"But.."

"GO!"

I ran off heading strait to my dorms.
