~Chapter 12~
The rest of the ball went smoothly, after Alex told her friends what happened and them squeezing, and Lucius stole another dance. But otherwise she danced mostly with the girls or Sirius. Each girl danced with all the boys at least once and they were sad when midnight came around.
The week after the ball, the teachers came down hard on the students, getting them ready for their midterms. The four Gryffindore girls could mostly be found in the library and sometimes even Severus joined them. He and Ginny were getting quite close and Lily, Hermione, and Alex noticed.
"Hey Mione, Alex," Lily piped up one day during their studying. "We have to go meet the guys," she said gathering her stuff. Alex and Hermione were confused at first, but then realized with one look from Lily, she wanted to give Ginny and Severus time alone.
"You're right," Alex said, as she too then gathered her books. Hermione nodded and followed suit.
"Oh, well then I guess…" Ginny looked sad, and was about to stand also, but Hermione stopped her.
"You can stay," the brunette told her with a smile, that made blush, realizing what her friends were doing, "You still need to finish your charms essay." Hermione finished.
"I almost forgot about that," The red-head replied, actually concerned.
"We'll see you two later," Alex said smiling. Then the three of them left the Library.
"They aren't sneaky at all," was all Severus said, when they left, making Ginny laugh.
"Yeah, I know." She said smiling. "But I love them anyway. I really do have to finish my charms essay, though." She said going through her bag. After looking for awhile, she cursed, "Damnit, I don't have my charms text." She sighed.
"Wanna share?" Severus asked, "I still have to finish my essay too," he blushed slightly, "you could also help me?" Ginny gave the Slytherin a smile.
"Of course I'll help you," the red-head gave him a smile, "but for a price," Severus's eyes widened slightly, but then he just smiled.
"I'm letting you use my book," he told her with a triumphant smile, "Isn't that payment?" he pointed out.
Ginny pouted, "I guess so," she said, drawling out the words, Severus sighed.
"Now you on the other hand," Severus smirked, "Are you quite manipulative." He held out his charms text, "What is it that you want, my dear?"he asked her, leaning his chin on his hand.
"I don't think I'll take it anymore," she replied, opening the textbook to the page she needed, making Severus frown.
"Come on Ginny," he said, moving closer t the red-head. When she ignored him he sighed and pulled the text book, which she was looking at. "Tell me," he insisted, as she looked up at him.
"You really want to know?" she asked him, with a sly smile upon her face. Severus looked uneasy at first, but gave her a define nod. "Close your eyes," she told him. She laughed at the boys worried look, "Don't worry, you're the one who wants to know." She smirked.
"Alright," the dark haired wizard said, and then slowly closed his black eyes. He heard Ginny moving around then nothing.
"Don't move," he heard her voice whisper right in front of him, and then he felt something touch his lips. Severus snapped his eyes open, 'She's kissing me,' He thought shocked. 'Then do something, don't just sit there.' Another voice in his head yelled. Severus pressed in deepening the kiss; he brought one hand up into her red locks. His deepening the kiss shocked slightly, causing her to pull back a little, but with a small look pass in between the two of them, Severus pulled her back. This time Severus was able to nibble a little on the red-head's lower lip, causing her to gasp, also giving him a chance to taste her. He carefully slid his tongue into her mouth, exploring it gently, coaxing a small moan from the redhead. With a small sigh of loss Ginny pulled away, her sparkling blue eyes meeting his desire darkened black ones.
"We should do our essays," Ginny whispered a few minutes later. Severus gave a small nod, and pushed the charms text so it was once again in between them. With a small smiled shared, they began to work, and Ginny, as promised, helped Severus with his.
Lily, Alex, and Hermione entered the Gryffindor common room chatting happily about how cute Ginny and Severus were. The marauders were at their usual spot by the fireplace, the three girls joined them, sitting respectfully by their guys.
"What are you ladies talking about?" Sirius asked, wrapping an arm around Alex's waist.
"About how adorable Gin and Sev are together," Lily giggled, which turned to laughter at the sight of the boys faces.
"Don't be like that," Alex said sternly, smacking Sirius playfully. "Severus is nice once you get to know him. Also Ginny really likes him so..."
"We should act like good older brothers and beat Snape up?" James interrupted Alex.
"Do that and I'm sure you'll be hexed into the next century," Hermione giggled, "Gin can take care of herself, don't you boys remember when that Ravenclaw grabbed her butt?" The brunette reminded them, a shudder passed through the Marauders.
"I change my opinion," James laughed, "Snape's brave, maybe foolish." He muttered, Alex and Hermione shook their head, but laughed anyway.
Later that night, after dinner, Sirius showed Alex the Room of Requirement, which became a nice, cozy room with a single couch and a fireplace. The two of them sat and talked for a long time.
"You know there is still something I need to do," Sirius said at one point, turning to face Alex fully.
"And what, may I ask, would that be, Mr. Black?" she asked him, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"Please, Mr. Black is my father, call me Sirius." The marauder said with a flirtatious smirk. "There is something I want to ask you," he said serious now. Alex gave a small nod, telling him to continue. She was slightly shocked when he brought his hand to gently hold her chin and leaned forward. The witch took a shocked breath, thinking he was going to kiss her, but the he avoided her lips and went to her ear. Alex shivered against Sirius's breath, "Will you be my girlfriend?" he whispered. Alex froze, not sure if she heard him right. He noticed her freeze so he moved away.
"Wait," Alex said softly, grabbing his face between her hands. "I didn't answer," she whispered as she leaned forward and then placed a kiss on the surprised marauder's lips. Sirius was shocked but he pulled out of it when Alex nipped his lower lip. With a groan, Sirius deepened the kiss. Alex had moved her hands so they were on the nape of his neck, playing with the ends of his hair. Sirius, on the other hand, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling the witch into his lap.
When they broke apart, in need of air, their breathing was heavy, "I'll take that as a yes," Sirius said, smirking, his grey eyes were black with lust, making Alex shiver when they met hers.
"I'd go with hell yes," Alex giggled. Sirius laughed too, and then moved in for another kiss.

"Severus, how are you?" Lucius Malfoy asked his old friend.
"Good, Lucius, busy." The dark haired wizard replied, looking up from the potion he was working on.
"Would you like me to come back later?" the blonde asked, raising an eyebrow perfectly.
"No, no, it's fine," Severus replied, flicking his wand over the cauldron, putting it on stasis. "We need to talk anyway." The two wizards moved themselves into Severus's private chambers and settled down into the chairs. Once settled, Severus summoned a house elf for tea. When the elf came back and left, there was a knock on the door. With a groan Severus answered it while Lucius poured the tea.
"Hello Severus," Remus said once the dark wizard opened the door, "I'm here to pick up my potion."
"Come in," was all Severus said, as he turned back into the room, Remus followed slowly.
"Good Morning, Lupin" Lucius drawled from his chair, when he noticed the werewolf.
"Hello, Lucius," Remus gave the Malfoy a nod, "How have you been?" he asked politely.
"I've been well," he replied, the then indicated a hand to the tea, "Would you like to join us?" he asked, Remus replied with nod, and sat down on the couch.
Severus came back, "Your potion," he simply said, handing a vial to Remus.
"Thank you," the werewolf said, as he placed the vial into his inner pocket. "So have you told Lucius about the girls, yet?" Remus asked the Potions master, as he took a seat. Lucius placed his cup down, now curious.
"Not yet," Severus replied, "We just found out yesterday, Lupin." He drawled.
"Are you going to tell me?" Lucius asked getting the other two wizards attentions.
"About two days ago," Severus explained with a sigh, "Three of our female students have disappeared."
"Disappeared?" the Malfoy patriarch asked, "What do you mean they have disappeared?"
"Alexandria Marcel, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley, had a mishap with their timeturner." Remus answered him. Severus shot the werewolf a book, then turned to his old friend, "They went back to our seventh year," Remus finished. The Malfoy just stared at them waiting for them to say something else mostly that they were joking.
"You never noticed the similarities, Lucius?" Severus asked his friend.
"You're serious," he asked skeptically, his friend just nodded, "Fuck, well at least I know I'm not crazy," he muttered softly.
"So you did notice," Remus commented softly.
"Last time I saw those three I noticed. Well actually I noticed Miss Marcel before the others." Lucius told them truthfully, "I just thought I was seeing things. Then I saw the three at the Platform this year and noticed the similarities more. So it's them, huh?" Lucius picked his cup back up and sipped his tea calmly.
"Yup," Remus sighed, "They'll be back in about a week." He mentioned.
"Dumbledore isn't giving you much time to get ready for this, is he?" Lucius smirked slightly.
"You're taking this calmly." Remus stated amused, "better then Sirius," he muttered under his breath.
"Black is immature," Lucius drawled, "What do you expect me to do, It has happened and there really isn't anything we can do about it. We have lived it, now they are living it. We just have to remember that for them it will feel like the events just happened." Lucius told them finishing off his tea.
"We understand it, but I'm not sure about Sirius," Remus sighed.
"As I said, Black is immature," Lucius sneered, placing his cup down, "Now I think I need to have a chat with Dumbledore. May I use your floo, Severus?" The blonde stood up gracefully from his chair, Severus stood too.
"Do come back later," Severus said with a nod. After returning the nod, Lucius stepped into the fireplace, tossing the floo powder he shouted for the Headmaster's office.
"Welcome Lucius," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his blue eyes. "Please take a seat." The headmaster waved his hand to the chair on the other side of the desk, "Lemon Drop?" he offered once Lucius sat down, he gracefully declined.
"You know why I'm here, Dumbledore," Lucius said, his steel grey eyes narrowing.
"I do, and I have to say if you came to me earlier, I would have told you everything," The old wizard told him, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "The girls gave me a list of people to tell if they ever came and asked me," he explained.
"They put me on the list?" Lucius said slightly shocked.
"Miss Marcel asked me to put your name on it," Dumbledore answered, "She also asked me to give you this," He opened one of his desk drawers and pulled an envelope out and handed it to the blonde. Lucius looked at the envelope in the old wizard's hand, shocked. He carefully took it, the only writing on the envelope itself was his name written in a neat script.
After staring at the envelope in his hand, he then tucked it into his inside pocket, "If that is all," Lucius stood gracefully, "Would you mind me using your floo?" He asked, nodding to the fireplace. Dumbledore just smiled and gave him a nod yes. With an incline of his head, Lucius left.
The Malfoy patriarch flooed to Malfoy Manor and was greeted by an elf. "I'll be in my study, Diffy." He told it, all the elves knew not to bother the master when he was in his study. Upon entering the large room, Lucius locked and warded the door with one flick and with another he had the fire going. Lowering himself into one of the chairs he buried a hand into his long blonde hair, sighing.
Summoning a bottle of firewhiskey and a tumbler, and making sure he had some poured, Lucius pulled out the envelope. A small inner debate later, he broke the seal and took out the parchment from inside and read it.
