We decided to combine two of our actual chapters...

"What happened, Severus?" asked Madame Pomfrey after Severus placed Marie on one of the white beds.

"I have absolutely no idea, all I know is that she didn't leave the hall with everyone else. I went back to see why she hadn't left, and she was sitting there. Then she fainted." He explained quickly, not taking a breath at all.

"Where's our sister?" came the unison voices of Harry and Rosemary Potter. They looked crazed with fear that their sister was sick with something fatal.

Rosemary was hyperventilating when she saw her twin lying on the hospital wing bed, ginger hair spread out on the white pillow.

"Sit Miss Doué down on the other bed." Madame Pomfrey gestured to the bed next to Marie.

Harry sat down with Rosemary. "What happened?" he asked, slightly scared.

"She fainted." Snape started. "…or something…"

"We're honestly not sure what happened." Madame Pomfrey explained. "It could be shock from news she heard, or the exhilaration of performing got to her head."

"Well, let's hope she wakes up soon." Rosemary said, staring at the unmoving, peaceful face of her twin.

Marie did not wake up soon. Professor McGonagall had to come in, telling Harry and Rosemary that it was past curfew. "I'll let it slide this time, however, if you two get right in bed."

Rosemary stood up to leave. While walking out the door, she turned and looked back at Snape and Marie. Snape was looking at Marie with longing. 'What is up with that?' Rosemary asked herself.

A/N – Mary: sorry this chapter was short, too… I think the next one's longer

Victoria: Dude this chapter is way short….

In the week of vacation that followed Rosemary and Harry were often found in the hospital wing, with the occasional Ron, when it wasn't past curfew. Snape was also almost always found at Marie's bedside.

Marie stirred, and everyone gathered around her.

"Mmm? Where am I?" she mumbled, her eyes fluttering open and falling upon Snape's face.

"You're in the hospital wing." Answered Madame Pomfrey, carrying a potion towards the bed.

"Why?"

"Because you fainted after the feast. You must have thought too much." Said Severus, looking deep into Marie's eyes. She looked back into his and saw the worry in his eye. Absentmindedly she put her hand up to his cheek and cradled it. He sighed and shut his eyes. Rosemary cleared her voice loudly. She wasn't used to seeing her sister this close to a teacher.

"Rose, why are you here?" Marie asked, quickly pulling her hand away from the man's face.

"Because! You're in the hospital wing! You're my sister! Why shouldn't I be here?" Rosemary answered. Marie rolled her eyes.

"I knew that, I was just kidding you! How long was I out?" Marie asked, placing her hand on Severus's.

"About a week." Everyone in the room answered in unison. Marie laughed.

"You guys are so weird!" she chuckled. Snape truly smiled for the first time since Marie had been in the hospital wing. 'His smile… so… beautiful.' She thought to herself.

Harry looked around the room awkwardly. Rosemary turned around, suddenly becoming very interested in the folds of the sheets on another bed.

"Ok, it's too quiet now…" Marie sat up in bed. "ROAR!" she yelled, tackling unsuspecting Rosemary from behind. Rosemary shrieked as she spun on her heel. Marie laughed and let go of Rosemary. "Can you get my wand?"

"Yeah, sure." Rosemary answered, picking up Marie's wand and handing it to her. Marie waved it. Nothing happened. She tried again, saying the incantation louder. Nothing happened.

"Um… why can I not make anything move?" Marie asked, trying again and again. She waved her wand more and more violently, only to be stopped by the potion master's firm grip.

"Stop waving that thing around foolishly, you'll take someone's eye out." He scolded. Marie lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

"Expelliarmus!" she cried, pointing her wand at Rosemary. Nothing happened.

"Get some rest, try again tomorrow." Snape suggested, taking the wand from Marie and placing it on the inside of his robes.

"But I just woke up!" Marie protested. "Can't I at least walk around?"

"You can, for a few minutes, Miss Doué. Then it's back to bed with you." Came Madame Pomfrey's voice.

Marie swung her legs over the edge of the bed and tried to stand, but fell into Snape's arms.

"Ugh, stupid jell-o feeling." She murmured. Snape chuckled and loosened Marie's grip on his arm. "Sorry."

"It's fine." He replied. He turned to the mediwitch behind him. "Poppy, can we go for a walk?" he took Marie's hand.

"Have her back by curfew, Severus." Madame Pomfrey replied, making the bed that Marie had just vacated. Snape nodded and the two left hand in hand.

A/N – Mary: I think you're making Snape sound like a creeper, Victoria.

Victoria: Well sorry. If he's a creeper I want him to be my creeper. Oh if you guys are wondering about the roar part, I had a massive brain fart and didn't want to stop there so I just did that.
