Chapter 2

Over the next few weeks everything was fine, unless of course you noticed one thing which Severus did. Headmistress Dumbledore was on a first name bases with every one minus himself an Granger. And it was really starting to piss him off, he planed on letting her know at tonights meeting.

"First thing on the agenda is Gingers seventh year students trip to muggle London. Is everything set for the trip?" Alexandra asked looking the room over.

"I have all the paper work but I'm still short two Professors." Ginger told her.

"No ones volunteered to help you?" Alexandra asked her.

"No Headmistress."

"Well then it's no longer up to them to volunteer. Granger sense you're a muggle born witch you will now be attending the field trip." Alexandra told her making note of it in her books.

"Yes Headmistress." Hermione replied.

"Snape you will also go." She informed him writing

"I have better things to do." Severus told her.

Slowly Alexandra set her quill down an looked up at him.

"I had hope that since you are a professor an a Master of something that you would have enough since in that skull of yours to know the difference between a request an a demand. Had i hope wrong Snape?" She asked as Ron an several others snickered.

Severus just glared at her.

"That Snape, is what we call a question one I'm sure you can answer it."

"I am aware of the difference." Severus snapped.

"I'm not your student Snape, lose that tone and wipe that expression off your face. It dose not scare me." She told him. "Now is there anything else?"

"Yes, it's about Mr. Brisk." Kathleen sighed.

"Is he still blowing things up?" Ron laughed before every head turned to the window as a hawk tapped at it.

"Sorry about that." Alexandra said pointing her wand at the window opening it, in flew the bird. "You." She smiled watching the hawk she remembered seeing as a child.

"That bloody bird's back again?" Draco sighed shaking his head.

"Bloody pest it is." Ron added.

"A friend of yours?" Nathanael asked Alexandra.

"No, that thing as been plaguing this school since those three came here." Severus said pointing to Hermione,Ron and Draco.

Alexandra turned her head as her own pure white dove started to make a fuss. "Sasha calm down, alright little one what do you want? " She asked the Hawk.

The Hawk flew down an landed on her shoulder, dropping a note on her desk. Snapping her fingers she gave the Hawk a fresh fish. The hawk ate the fish an flew threw the opened window. Pointing her wand at the widow it closed.

"Who knew it had an owner." Alexandra shrugged looking at them. "Now about Mr. Brisk just send him up to see me an we will work it out."

"Who sent the letter?" Draco asked.

"Yea, open it i want to know who that bloody bird belongs to." Ron added.

"I'd like to know why a letter was sent to you when bird was here before you were?" Severus asked.

Alexandra picked the letter up an looked at them. "Sorry, but the sender wishes me to read it in privet. So if there's nothing else..."

"There is." Severus said messing with his fingers. "I want to know why it is you feel the need to address Granger an myself by are last names?" Severus asked looking at her.

"Why do you call her Granger?" She asked leaning forward awaiting his answer.

"Because i dislike-" Severus stopped as she tilted her head an raised her brow.

"Is that all?" She asked looking her staff over, when they all nodded she smiled "Well then you are all free to go. Goodnight." She told them as they all got up an left.

All but two.

"Do you truly hate me Alexandra?" Hermione asked her heartbroken.

"Headmistress or Professor Dumbledore please." She corrected her.

"If you would just-"

"I do not care to have this discussion Granger. Lets justs say i do not care for the both of you as i once did. Now if you both would leave i have a letter to read." She told them.

"I have a question." Severus told her.

"By all means lets hear it." She said sitting back in her chair.

"How do you know Professor Night?"

"He was my second boyfriend, is that all?"

"Who was your first?" Granger asked.

"How is that any business of yours Granger?"

"Who was your first?" Severus asked.

"You both may leave now." she told them leaving no room to argue.

When they left she opened the letter.

I stress very dearly, that you tell no one of this letter. No one. With that i am very glad to see you have come back home, an now the new Headmistress of Hogwarts. Most impressive my dear. Now on to why i have written you. It is very important that you leave at once an come to Malfoy manor. Just say Draco L. Malfoy an you will be aloud safe entry.

Alexandra flipped the letter over, there was no name. Who the hell would be at Malfoy Manor the only Malfoy left was Draco an he hadn't step foot in the house since the end of the war. All common sense said to toss the letter into the flames, but as her eyes scanned the words again she felt worrier an loneliness in them. She had to go to who ever it was that wrote to her. That was another draw back to being an Emotional she would always follower her feelings instead of her head. An now that she was leaving school grounds she would need to appoint a deputy Headmaster. Alexandra spent all night thinking an in the morning she called a staff meeting.

"Geez Alex couldn't this have waited until after breakfast?" Ron whined rubbing his eyes.

"If it could have I'm sure it would have Weasley." Severus growled not to thrilled at being woken up either.

"Well we're all here an apparently all roses an sunshine." Nathaniel smiled.

"I'm leaving -"

"What!" They all shouted.

"If you all would kindly let me finish, i must leave the school on a very important matter. I should be back before the school trip. How ever since i have to leave i have decided to name the Deputy Headmaster." She told them.

"I wonder who that will be." Draco sneered as they all turned to look at Nathanael.

"No, it is not Nathaniel or any of the new Staff members. They do not know the ground well enough. No Ron it's not you either." She told him when he smiled."You still have some growing up to do."

"Well then it's me." Draco grinned.

"No Draco it's not, you'd make every house but your own would be to light." She said as everyone turned to Severus who looked to her in shock. "Snape you're perfect for the job so it's yours."

"I'm perfect for it or I'm just the last?" Severus asked raising his brow.

"You're the oldest member here, no one knows more about this school then you." She told him.

"When do you leave?" Hermione asked.

"Right after i send you all on your way. Snape if you need anything give a letter to Sasha an she will find me." Alexandra said standing up an putting her red cape on.

"Where is it you're going?" Severus asked when everyone left.

"I can't say. Now i really need to go." Alexandra replied heading for the door.

"Alexandra-"

"I'll be fine and I'm sure i will not be long. I will let you know when i return." She said cutting him off as she opened the door. Nodding Severus left closing the door she Apparated to Malfoy Manor.

Alexandra eyed the huge home in front of her it was how she thought it would be, homey yet terrifying all in one. She walked on until she felt the wards,speaking Draco' full name she walked on. Wand at the ready she opened the door. It was very clean for a house no one lived in, not even the house elfs were around anymore.

"Who is it that wishes to see me?" She asked looking around the front room. Her head turned as she heard a noise searching for it she spotted the Hawk it was staring at her then it flew up the the hint She followed taking the stairs slowly, spotting a light coming from a room she went to it an froze as she opened the door.

"It can't be."
