Trouble for Celeste in this chapter!

Sit back relax and enjoy the reading!

*CPOV*

I sat watching them in the teachers lounge, torn between watching them and smirk at the scene or just looking away just whishing they would just stop and get a room...But just thinking about using that phrase on my parents made me slightly sick. At first they had almost next to eachother on the couch talking, but when the other professors started to drop in they had moved away from eachother.

Now they were sitting on opposite sides of the room looking at eachother when they thought no one was looking, but I was. And as I said...I was feeling sick. Mom was doing the wierd hair flick trying to get dads attention, which she had totally she just didn't notice. Uncle Harry was talking to dad who was only paying him very little attention since dad was so very fascinated by mom and the way she moved.

Mom glanced at dad and then turned and started talking to Sinistra again with a silly grin on her face. I really hoped I didn't look like that when I looked at James.

"Celeste how is your apprentice program working out?" I heard uncle Harry ask and I smiled and walked over to him and dad.

"Very well, I'm lucky to have skilled masters to study" I said and dad rolled his eyes with a smile.

"I'm thinking about getting an apprentice myself" Harry said and dad smirked.

"Who would possibly want to study under the boy who lived, the boy who saved the whole wizarding world? You surely won' have so many choices" Dad said and Harry smiled.

"You are so right Snape. If you excuse me I have a date with my wife and if I'm late she will be slightly upset with me" Harry said and drank the rest of his whiskey.

"That's why they invented make-up-sex Potter" Dad smirked and I pretended I didn't hear that. Harry smirked back at him.

"Then maybe I will just be a little late this time anyway"

I pretended that I didn't hear that either. It was really to much to even listen to your parents joking about sex. I stood next to dad in silence for a moment and then looked up at him.

"Are you planning to ask her out soon?" I asked and he stared at me.

"What?Who?Why?" He asked and I wanted to laugh at his almost teenage like reaction. But at the same time it was really wierd to see my always so cool and calm dad act like that, and if his future self had seen himself now he would have slapped himself. Hard.

"Well Mo-Hermione of course!" I said. Damn I really needed to learn not to call them mom and dad when I was around them. Dad looked down at me and when most people my age met the gaze he had right now they would crawl into a corner. Luckily for me I had the same stare as he...and some DNA as well so I wasn't really scared of him.

"What makes you belive you can talk to me like that?" He asked more curious than angry. I shrugged.

"Maybe you are not as scary as you think, or maybe I'm immune." I said and he just rolled his eyes and smirked. "So are you going to ask her out?" I asked and he looked at mom who was laughing with Sinistra. I looked at dad and saw a small smile starting to form and then he put it down and had his stone face on.

"You think I should?" He asked with a smirk and I wanted to scream at him, but I took a deep breath instead.

"Yes I think that would be a very good idea. Even better would be if you just got married right away and got that american dream with a house in the suburbs and annoying desperate housewifes living next door" I said and dad looked disgusted.

"I would never do that" He said and I laughed.

"Belive me I know" I said with a laugh and then got serious. "But start with the date, you can figure out the rest by yourselfes." I started to walk away then walked back to him quickly. "But don't wait to long with that okey?" I said and then turned to walk away again but I felt dad's hand around my wrist and he pulled me out the room instead and out in the corridor. He let me go and then stood infront of me just looking at me for a while.

"There is something very diffrent about you, it's annoying and no one knows anything about you. Not even Albus seems to know who you are really even if he says he is related to you." He stared at me for a while and I swallowed nervously. I didn't want this conversation. "And then you go around talking to me like you have known me for my whole life wich I can assure you is not fucking possible" But I have known you for my whole life! I wanted to scream but held my mouth shut. "You act like you know everything about everyone...Who are you really?" He asked and I looked at him for a long while.

That was when it all finally sank in. This man wasn't my father, he didn't love me. At least not yet.

The man infront of me now had no reason to trust me, and he definetly didn't love me like my father did. They weren't my parents yet, and they didn't love me...They probably didn't even trust me.

"I understand that my behaviour have caused you some confusion, and it was never my intentions." I said after I had taken a deep breath and then quickly came up with a lie in my head. "I'm Celeste Dumbledore, I'm a seer. That's why I act the way I do, I can't stop it. The reason Grandpa doesn't know so much about me is private." I felt the painful burn of tears forming in my eyes and dad looked at me uncomfortable and ashamed.

"But I am truly sorry professor if I have caused you any discomfort" I said sharply and looked down at the floor. He stood there quiet for a while then sighed.

"You are a really good occlumens, I can't tell what your thinking" He said with a sigh.

"Thank you" I said shortly and we stood there in silence for a while.

"Celeste, I know you are lying. But you are a good girl and I trust you to do the right thing." He sighed. "Does Dumbledor know the truth?"

I stood there silent for a while and then looked up at him whising he would just call me his little princess and hug me, but of course he wouldn't.

"He knows" Dad nodded at me.

"can you tell me?" He asked and I wanted to hug him even more.

"I don't want to" I said and he just nodded and then smiled slightly.

"I'm going to take your advice and ask her out on a date, and I will see you in the class room tomorrow morning. Working hard" He said with a smile and I smiled back.

"Of course professor" I said and he then walked away and I started to walk towards my room. I reached for my locket just to feel the familiar feeling of it's hard shell, feeling something familiar from home. And when I thouched it only one thought came to mind.

I had to get them together soon before they found out who I was, really soon.


I walked back into the teachers lounge and saw that the only one left was Hermione and she was looking through some papers. I walked over and sat next to her, she glanced at me and smiled and then looked back at her papers. I sat next to her just watching her as she quickly read page after page, and then she giggled. And what a sweet sound it was.

"What?" I asked teasingly and she looked at me and then down at her papers and shook her head.

"No, nothing" She said and then for five seconds she was quiet before she started to giggle again.

"What?" I asked again and she started to laugh and then stood up and walked around the table to look at me. She put her hands on the table and leaned on them as she looked at me. I leaned my head to the side and looked back at her.

"What are you up to Snape?" She asked in a teasing tone and I smiled and stood up and walked slowly to her not letting her go with my gaze.

"Nothing" I said and she raised an eyebrow saying she didn't belive me.

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" She asked and backed away still smiling at me as I continued to walk towards her.

"Like what?" I asked and she was just about to answer when she backed into the wall and got to surprised to answer. I walked to stand infront of her and she smiled and placed her hands on my chest. I placed my hands on the wall so she couldn't go anywere.

"Like your about to kiss me" She whispered and I looked at her cherry red lips.

"Beacuse I am" I said and leaned down and caught her lips with mine.

*HPOV*

"Celeste open the damn door!" I called and heard a loud groan from the other side of the door. Of course she was sleeping, it was one o'clock in the morning but Severus and I had just gone away from eachother to get some sleep and I just had to talk to Celeste about what had happened. The younger but awfully much taller witch opened her door and glared at me and I slipped inside her room.

"I should really crucio you for waking me up at this time" She growled.

"Severus kissed me!" I shrieked and jumped around. Celeste just stood there glaring at me and then walked over to her bed and fell down on it. "And there is more!"

"I really don't want to know the details" She said her words muffled by the pillow. I sat down next to her.

"Belive me you do!"

"Belive me I don't!" She said and punched her pillow.

"He asked me out. Like a date, I'm going on a date with friggin Severus Snape!" I shrieked again and Celeste groaned.

"Aren't you happy for me?" I asked and she looked up at me.

"I'm smiling on the inside" She said and rolled her eyes.

"But of course you already knew that he was going to ask me out, since you two are best friends and tell eachother everything" I said and she just smirked.

"You came to me in the middle of the night after a snogg session with the guy you like, what does that make me to you?" She asked and looked me straight in the eye. I smiled at her.

"You are on the way to become a best friend as well, after a few night visits we are practically sisters" I joked and she smiled faintly.

"Best friends with Hermione Granger..." She said and I looked at her concerned.

"Celle are you okey?" I asked and she smiled a mysterious smile, you couldn't see what she was thinking.

"I just never expected that this would happen" She said and I smiled.

" Neither did I, my date is next weekend. Can I count on you to be my dress friend?" I asked and she frowned.

"Dress friend?"

"The person I talk to and show my clothes to before I go on the date. Where have I seen that frown before?" I asked and she stopped frowning at once. "You look really familiar but I can't place you" I shrugged. "Any way, can I trust you with that?"

She nodded and smiled. "Absolutely"
