Authors Note: Another short chapter, but again i just like how this one sounded being cut off at this point:) Hope you like it.
There was a bright green flash in the Headmaster's office, as a dark figure stepped through the fireplace. The Headmaster looked up from his papers on his desk. He stood and approached the figure.
"Severus, how was the meeting? Anything new?"
"No Headmaster, it was unusually quiet." Dumbledore nodded.
"Well at least you have returned to us safely." He smiled at the younger man that he considered to be his son. Severus cast his eyes downward as if he was embarrassed.
"Yes. Well, goodnight Headmaster." He spun on his heel and made his way toward the door.
"She was very worried Severus." Snape stopped with his hand on the doorknob. Snape breathed in sharply.
"She's awake." He sounded as if the mere thought would make him weep in joy. If Dumbledore could see his face he would see a look of complete relief and happiness, but only for a second.
"She was searching for you throughout the castle. She was quit upset to hear that you were with her father."
"Of course, I will speak with her."
"Shall I inform Madame Pomfrey that I allowed Miss Jacobs to return to her own bed when she came to find me tonight?" Severus nodded curtly and then he was gone. Leaving a smiling, twinkling Dumbledore in his wake.
